In her previous life, Su Jin Xia was deceived and persecuted, dying miserably. Reborn, she not only seeks revenge and corrects injustices but also protects the one she loves.
However, when lo...
Shen Qianxue watched for a long time.
Su Jin slumped over the table, appearing carefree.
Lu Ming smiled silently, showing no sign of urgency, and sat leisurely opposite Su Jin.
Su Jin raised an eyebrow and glanced at Lu Ming, then reached out and poured him a cup of tea.
Shen Qianxue put down the agreement and said, "Since there is an agreement, let him go."
Liu Quan was overjoyed. If Shen Qianxue insisted on forcibly destroying the agreement, there was nothing he could do.
After all, he couldn't fight city hall, so he didn't dare to actually go and sue the authorities.
But to my surprise, the Phoenix Queen lived up to her reputation and was a reasonable person.
Liu Quan left happily.
Yang Jiaoruo didn't understand. "Young master? He's a cunning merchant. How could the common people afford the Ice Accumulation Grass if it ended up in his hands?"
Yang Jiaoruo thought that Shen Qianxue would definitely stop the Ice Accumulation Grass.
Shen Qianxue ignored Yang Jiaoruo's question, sat down, and glanced helplessly at Su Jinxia, "So, what are your plans?"
Su Jinxia climbed up from the table, straightened up, pouted, and smiled.
"You've already let Liu Quan go, don't you know what I'm planning to do?"
"You have so many tricks up your sleeve, I had no idea." Shen Qianxue said with a hint of disdain, but a smile played on her lips. "You took three hundred taels of silver from me, you must have bought more than eighty catties of Ice Accumulation Grass. Tell me, how much more do you have?"
When Shen Qianxue saw the eighty catties and ten taels of silver per catty in the agreement, she knew that Su Jin was clearly trying to swindle Liu Quan, this unscrupulous merchant.
Su Jin grinned and held up two fingers, "Two hundred jin left!"
The entire audience was astonished. Lu Ming and the servant from the medicine shop knew that Su Jin was buying up Ice Accumulation Grass, but they didn't know there was so much.
The only person who probably knew about this was the manager of the ice cellar.
Compared to the two hundred jin, the eighty jin that Liu Quan took away was nothing. The point is that it was ten liang per jin, which is really outrageous!
"So what were you planning to do with these two hundred pounds?" Shen Qianxue didn't reveal their plan, but asked Su Jinxia with some curiosity.
Shen Qianxue did not believe that Su Jin would sell them all for ten taels of silver, because if that were the case, the entire southern region would be plunged into dire straits.
"Does it matter what I plan? I probably won't even be able to get into the ice cellar." Su Jin's brows furrowed slightly, her expression turning cold; she was holding a grudge.
Shen Qianxue...
"Cough cough."
That makes sense; Shen Qianxue wouldn't let Su Jin act recklessly.
But he believed in Su Jin.
Since she believed him, why say things she shouldn't and upset Su Jin? So Shen Qianxue said without any principles, "How could that be? This is your stuff, you have the right to decide how to handle it."
Su Jin snorted softly, knowing that there was some exaggeration in those words, and that they weren't entirely true, but she was still very touched.
"Speak, what brings you back in such a hurry?"
If Shen Qianxue has a plan, then Su Jinxia will naturally be willing to cooperate with him.
Shen Qianxue sighed and asked Su Jin about her plans. Su Jin didn't say a word and instead asked him instead.
But Shen Qianxue didn't hide anything and directly stated their plans.
“We want to open a free clinic in the name of the Prince’s Palace to treat the people for free, but we are worried about where to get the ice-accumulating grass.”
Before Su Jinxia could say anything, Yang Jiaoruo retorted, "Then you just made Su Jinxia sell eighty jin to Liu Quan."
Su Jin scoffed, "So what if it's eighty pounds? I still want to sell it!"
Yang Jiaoruo glared at Su Jin, her brows furrowed, "Still selling! For a little money, you've abandoned all conscience?"
Su Jin crossed her arms over her chest, her brows and eyes revealing a hint of arrogance. She stood up and faced Yang Jiaoruo. Although she was shorter than Yang Jiaoruo, she had an aura of looking down on Yang Jiaoruo.
“Manager Yang, your mindset is not worthy of your position. I made money today and I’m in a good mood, so I’ll teach you a lesson. Listen carefully.”
Feeling blatantly belittled by Su Jinxia, Yang Jiaoru clenched her fists, her eyes flashing with malice.
Su Jin wasn't afraid of her at all, and said with a faint smile.
“Every year, the yield of ice grass in the entire southern region is about 1,000 catties. Last year, the harvest of ice grass was abundant, with about 1,200 catties. However, ice grass is not easy to store or transport, and at least half of it is lost every year. Now, without adding the goods I have, and after deducting the daily consumption of medicine, the maximum amount of ice grass on the market is more than 300 catties.”
Su Jin's analysis left everyone stunned.
Su Jin smiled and asked Lu Ming, "Dr. Lu, you know the most about herbs, am I right or wrong?"
Lu Ming nodded approvingly, "Very accurate."
Shen Qianxue and Shen Xi were extremely shocked.
Shen Xi only gathered this information after the outbreak of the epidemic. He never expected that Su Jin would know so much about it without even leaving her home.
Yang Jiaoruo, however, was more suspicious, asking, "How do you know all this?"
Su Jin chuckled lightly, "Why can't I know? Just because Manager Yang is working behind closed doors and doesn't know how to learn, does he think everyone else is like you? I haven't been wasting my time at the pharmacy."
Hearing this, Shen Qianxue glanced at Lu Ming indifferently.
Lu Ming's face stiffened. What are you looking at me for?
Su Jin repeatedly belittled Yang Jiaoruo, who gritted her teeth in hatred, "But what does all this have to do with you selling medicine to Liu Quan?"
Su Jin smiled and continued.
“It’s good that the Seventh Prince wants to hold a free clinic and treat patients for free. If he wants to buy my Ice Accumulation Grass, I will naturally sell it to him first.”
Su Jinxia emphasized the word "sell".
You think you can take my Ice Accumulation Grass for free and use it to make that Seventh Prince famous? Don't even think about it!
“But…” Su Jin continued, “the free clinic can only be held in Lin’an, and the number of patients that can be treated is limited. If my estimate is correct, fifty catties of ice-accumulated grass will be enough to treat the refugees and people in Lin’an.”
