In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Today, in the afternoon.

Pharmacist Song came to Lanyuexuan to meet the eldest lady with a stack of account books.

Nanny Xia led people inside.

Su Huan asked Pharmacist Song to sit down and talk, and then asked Yun Shuang to serve tea.

Pharmacist Song first respectfully placed the account book in his hand on the small table next to the eldest lady, and then sat down upright beside her.

"Master Song, you don't have to be so anxious. It would be fine to wait until all other places are sorted out and then send them over together."

"Miss, Jisheng Medicinal Materials Store has always been our old friend. Although the accounts of money coming in and out were previously controlled by others, we all know the numbers, so we can sort them out in the next few days."

Pharmacist Song said angrily, "It is true that after I checked the accounts for the past ten years, the missing items are too shocking, especially there are many batches of medicinal materials that do not match at all. It is obvious that they were embezzled."

"I sent the Jisheng Herbal Medicine Store's accounts first, so that Miss can have a clear idea. I'm afraid that other places may have been replaced because of our people. We don't know how rampant they will be if they mess up the accounts in private."

Su Huan knew that Pharmacist Song was also loyal to the Shen family, and his intentions were beyond doubt. She nodded and said, "I know what Master Song said. Let's have a cup of tea and calm down. Don't worry, they have to spit out as much of my mother's things as they 'ate'."

Pharmacist Song: "I am afraid that there are too many confused accounts, and the young lady will not be able to do anything about them even if she wants to."

Su Huan: "No, Master Song also told his subordinates that there is no need to worry about it. Just take your time and get everything done."

Pharmacist Song saw that the young lady had a calm face. He knew that she must be sure of what she said, so he just nodded and said "yes".

After saying this, Pharmacist Song smiled and said, "By the way, Miss, I have also received news that Mr. Shen will lead the Shen family back to Beijing. Is this true?"

Yun Shuang was standing by and said with a smile, "Yes, but the three young masters came to Beijing first, so the old man and his family may need to wait for a while."

Pharmacist Song said with relief: "That's great, Mr. Shen is back in Beijing. With the Shen family around, Miss can be more relaxed. So, when will the three young masters arrive in Beijing?"

Yun Shuang: "When we received the news, it said it would take three or four days. Logically, it should arrive in the capital tomorrow."

Su Huan held the tea in her hand, sipping it leisurely, and also signaled Pharmacist Song to drink some tea.

When it was almost time, Pharmacist Song stood up and bowed, "Miss, I will take my leave now."

Su Huan said to Pharmacist Song, "Master Song, tell the managers of the shops, farms, and forests below not to worry too much. Even if they can't sort it out within the half month agreed upon, it doesn't matter. I need detailed and clear accounts."

Pharmacist Song: "Yes, don't worry, Miss. I understand. The managers in various places are also clear about it. They will definitely not be vague in the accounts."

"We are all family, I trust you on this point." Su Huan said, and said to Yun Shuang: "Yun Shuang, escort Master Song out of the house."

Yun Shuang agreed and immediately led Pharmacist Song out.

Su Huan looked at their backs as they walked out, her eyes fixed on a stack of account books beside her, but she did not flip through them.

The corners of her lips curled up in a sneer, and she snorted. Even if there were more bad debts, it would not matter. She would not let Zhu have a chance to escape. In the end, everything that Zhu embezzled and put into his private treasury would be spit out!

……

Jinhuaxuan, inside the house.

Zhu's personal maid Chunying walked in from outside.

Chunying bowed to the lady and said, "Madam, Pharmacist Song from Jisheng Medicinal Materials Store went to the eldest lady's Lanyue Pavilion with a stack of account books, and has already left the Prime Minister's residence."

Nanny Li, who was standing by, also said with a little concern: "Madam, it seems that they sorted out the account books and sent them to the eldest lady."

Zhu said coldly, "If it was the accounts of all the shops, farms, and forests for the past ten years, he wouldn't be the only one coming. Most likely, it was only the account books of Jisheng Medicine Store. Shen's dowry was generous, and there were so many years of accounts, how could they be cleared in such a short time?"

"Not to mention, the Jisheng Medicine Store was because they didn't dismiss the old people before, but other places have replaced them."

"Even if they find the original people back, our accounts have been kept without any mistakes over the years. It will take them at least ten days or half a month to find the flaws and sort out the detailed accounts. It may even take longer."

Nanny Li responded, "Madam is right. I have already asked someone to contact the people over there."

"The assassins of Hidden Killing Tower are already in place, just waiting for the birthday banquet of Grand Princess Zhaohua to arrive."

"As long as the eldest lady dies and the Shen family has not returned to the capital, everything will be decided by you, Madam."

Chunying whispered, "Madam, I heard that the three young masters of the Shen family are already on their way back to the capital and should arrive in the capital tomorrow. If the young lady tells them everything when she meets them, then the three young masters of the Shen family will also start..."

Zhu snorted coldly and said, "This is the Prime Minister's Mansion after all. Even if those were Shen's dowry back then, if the elders of the Shen family hadn't come forward, how dare they, the younger generation, investigate randomly? The Prime Minister's Mansion is surnamed Su, not Shen."

Nanny Li said, "Madam, you are right. Our people have already evacuated, but we still have spies around those shops, farms, and forests, watching their every move at all times."

Zhu: "Dealing with the Shen family is easy. Everything else is fine. The most important thing is to get rid of Su Huan. If we cut the grass and get rid of the roots, we won't have to worry about future troubles."

Nanny Li and Chunying looked at each other and said nothing else.

Then, Zhu said, "By the way, the old lady went out of the city to visit Master Xuanzhen at Lingchan Temple. It's already the third day. Why hasn't the old lady returned home yet?"

Nanny Li said, "The old lady said that she would go to Lingchan Temple to worship Buddha for three days. I guess she will return home tomorrow. She will also attend the birthday banquet of Princess Zhaohua."

Zhu frowned slightly, "Could it be that the old lady met Master Xuan Zhen and something bad happened?"

"Something bad?" Nanny Li was puzzled. "Madam, it's normal for the old lady to go to Lingchan Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha. She will only stay for three days. How could there be anything bad? Madam, don't think too much."

Chunying immediately held up a cup of tea for the lady and said, "Madam, have a cup of tea. The old lady will be back tomorrow. Just ask her and she will tell you. Don't worry. Everything will be fine."
