Su Qian closed the account book with a calm expression and said nonchalantly, “It’s fine. All of this is still within my expectations. After all, the Su family is big and powerful. It won’t be easy to get rid of them completely. We have plenty of time to wear them down.”
“Yes, I will follow the Master’s orders.” Liu Qi nodded respectfully and immediately raised her eyes and said, “Master, I reckon that the Su family will soon be unable to restrain themselves. At that time, if they come looking for us…”
“The Su family is relying on these elixirs to make a comeback. This is their last hope. Now that we’ve extinguished their last hope, I reckon they even have the intention to kill us. Therefore, Ancestor Su will definitely come tomorrow at the earliest or the day after tomorrow at the latest. At that time, help me entertain him and tell him one thing.” Su Qian smiled and narrowed her eyes as she gestured her finger at Liu Qi.
Liu Qi hurriedly leaned over and listened to Su Qian whisper something into her ear.
“When the time comes, just say that. Do you understand?” Su Qian reminded with a smile.
Liu Qi couldn’t help but nod repeatedly. “Don’t worry, Master. I will do as you say.”
After instructing Liu Qi, Su Qian didn’t stay any longer. Instead, she stood up and left the Qian Yao Pavilion through the back door.
There was a carriage parked in an alley not far from the back door. Su Qian walked straight over and got into the carriage as the coachman opened the curtain.
“Mother, you’re finally back!” In the carriage, Su Ye and Su Qingqing eagerly came to Su Qian’s side. “Mother, where did you go just now?”
“I naturally went handling some business. Ye’er, Qingqing, do you still remember what I said two days ago? 1 wanted to buy a house so that we wouldn’t have to stay in the inn anymore?” Su Qian said with a smile as she held her two precious children in her arms.
“Of course, we remember.” Su Ye boldly guessed, “So, Mother, you went out just now to discuss buying a house, right?”
Su Qian nodded thoughtfully, “Yes…You can say that.”
“Wow! Mother, are we going to have a home in the imperial capital? Where are we staying?” Su Qingqing asked impatiently.
“I won’t tell you yet. 1’11 take you both to the new house tomorrow to watch a show,” Su Qian said with a smile and patted the two children’s furry heads. “Alright, sit tight. I will bring you to eat something delicious.”
The two children quickly sat down beside Su Qian and chatted with her about what to eat for dinner with laughter.
Time pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. The next morning.
Although Liu Qi had prepared for the Su family to visit, she did not expect them to come so soon.
In the early morning when the sky was still dark, the Su family’s carriage stopped steadily at the entrance of Qian Yao Pavilion before it was opened.
To prevent the Su family from causing trouble out of jealousy, there were guards stationed at the entrance of the Qian Yao Pavilion even when it was closed. At this time, when they saw Ancestor Su and Su Chenghua get out of the carriage together, the guards were taken aback.
Ancestor Su wore a jet-black cloak and said coldly, “I want to see your master.”
The guard did not dare to be negligent and quickly entered to report.
Liu Qi, who had just gotten out of bed at this time, was first surprised, then immediately calmed down. She had someone invite the Ancestor Su and Su Chenghua to the back hall, while she took herself time to freshen up, and finished her breakfast slowly. After that, she finally went to the back hall to meet them..
