Chapter 41 "I'm Doing This for Your Own Good"

Seeing that Old Master Shan looked like he hated him to death, Old Master Chen gave him a sidelong glance with annoyance: "Don't worry about the pills, Miss has her own way."

It's a shame that Little Yellow Flower, who has been by Miss's side for so many years, has absolutely no sense of propriety.

"I...I was just worried about Grandma, wasn't I?" Old Master Shan looked at Shanxi with concern.

Shanxian's heart softened at his concerned gaze; after all, he was her great-grandson, whom she had raised herself, and who was so filial...

"Don't worry, your great-grandmother has plenty of ways." Shanxi gently patted Old Master Shan's head, then asked, "Whose pills are selling best right now?"

Old Master Shan paused slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The Wu family, and..."

Before he could finish speaking, Old Master Chen beside him let out another disdainful snort: "Heh..."

Old Master Shan: "..."

Old Master Chen said with a look of disdain, "With the Wu family's standards, aren't they afraid of lowering the level of Shanjia Auction House?"

“Miss, I’d better handle this. Would you prefer to have Xiao Qi or Xiao Ba do it?” Old Master Chen asked respectfully.

Shanxi thought for a moment and said, "Let Xiao Wu come. If it's convenient, a few more won't hurt. We can take this opportunity to see if their alchemy skills have improved."

Old Master Chen felt that if the news of Miss's return were spread, all ten of them would come, and not only would they come, they would also rush over as quickly as possible.

At that time, the entire dynasty will probably be turned upside down!

Old Master Shan: "..."

What are Xiaoqi and Xiaoba?

Is there a fifth child?

Are they all alchemists?

Judging from Old Chen's still-dead tone, their alchemy skills are actually better than the Wu family's.

As Grandpa Shan pondered, he seemed to recall a time when a dozen or so children came to see his great-grandmother, carrying a pile of candies, wanting her to have a taste…

As Old Master Shan was trying to recall, Shan Mingyuan stormed in angrily.

Seeing Shanxi sitting leisurely in the main seat, sipping tea, Shan Mingyuan's anger intensified!

"You unfilial daughter! Are you trying to force us to our deaths!" Shan Mingyuan was furious and made to rush over and beat Shanxi, but before he could even reach Shanxi, he slapped the old master Shan away.

"Insolence!" Just as Old Master Shan was about to say something, he saw Shan Mingyuan angrily about to hit his great-grandmother, so he immediately slapped Shan Mingyuan!

Old Master Shan didn't exert much effort, and Shan Mingyuan quickly got up: "Father, are you confused! How could you agree to something like this with Shanxi?"

Upon hearing about what happened at the auction house, he was so angry he jumped three meters high and rushed over as fast as he could, but little did he expect...

"Snap!" Another crisp sound rang out.

Old Master Shan slapped Shan Mingyuan across the face: "What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket!"

It's so noisy!

He had just remembered something, but Shan Mingyuan's commotion made him forget it again!

Sigh... It's a good thing Old Chen isn't dead, otherwise he would have said he's old again!

"You don't even greet the head of the family? Is this how the Shan family teaches you manners?" Old Master Shan said, slapping Shan Mingyuan on the back again.

He's so angry!

I finally remembered something, but his noise made me forget it all.

Just as Shan Mingyuan was about to lose his temper, he saw the old master Shan's glaring and furious appearance, and considering his own current status, he reluctantly knelt down before Shan Xi: "Greetings, Master of the Family!"

Seriously, I've never felt so frustrated in my life!

A dignified father, forced to kneel before his own daughter and even bow to her? Doesn't he fear being struck by lightning and killed by this rebellious woman?

"What is it?" Shanxi didn't even lift his eyelids.

Shan Mingyuan was furious, but he didn't dare to do anything to Shan Xi in front of Old Master Shan. He could only suppress his anger and said with dissatisfaction, "I know you've just become the head of the family and urgently need to do something to prove yourself, but you can just refund the money. Why do you have to compensate with a pill of equal value? Do you think the Shan family is a charity?"

“Isn’t that right?” Shanxi looked at Shanmingyuan with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Shan slapped Shan Mingyuan on the back of the head in an annoyed tone: "Shut up! The Shan family has always been known for its charity work. If you, a son-in-law, don't know that, then shut up."

Son-in-law "Shanmingyuan": "..."

Shan Mingyuan thought the old man had gone mad.

The old man used to never call him a son-in-law, but now, as if to remind him of his status, he calls him son-in-law all the time.

Moreover, the old man is not only insane now, but he also likes to hit people, especially him.

"Father, are you just going to let her run wild like this? Where are we supposed to find so many pills?" Shan Mingyuan was filled with resentment, his eyes brimming with anger.

So many pills were just given away for nothing?

If the philanthropist really had the means, how wonderful it would be to give it to his daughter! With those elixirs to aid her, how could Yu Rou not achieve great success!

"I didn't ask you for it, why are you in such a hurry? It's like the emperor isn't worried but the eunuch is." Shanxi gave Shan Mingyuan a disgruntled look.

This mere son-in-law dares to meddle in the affairs of his master's household.

When Shanmingyuan heard Shanxi call him a eunuch, he was so angry that he almost jumped up and cursed loudly.

"You..." Shan Mingyuan had just reached out his hand to point at Shanxi when Old Master Shan slapped it down. "No manners! No respect for elders! Is this how the Shan family teaches you manners? Go back and study the Shan family rules ten times over!"

How dare you point your finger at Grandma?

They have no respect for elders and are becoming increasingly lawless!

Shan Mingyuan is going crazy!

He felt he was educating his daughter, so why did the old man keep interfering?

"Dad, I'm talking about serious matters, can you please stop interfering?" Shan Mingyuan said, looking utterly exasperated!

"When discussing serious matters, we must also pay attention to etiquette. We cannot be disrespectful to elders, otherwise it will make our Shan family seem ill-mannered," said Old Master Shan with a serious expression.

He was worried that his great-grandmother would blame him, saying that he hadn't taught Shanmingyuan well!

Shan Mingyuan was furious. He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said calmly, "Father, now that she has promised to give away so much money and pills, where are we supposed to find them?"

Then he looked at Shanxi and said earnestly, "Shanxi, don't blame your father for scolding you, you were too impulsive. Do you know how much loss your promise will bring to our Shan family?"

As if he had come up with a good idea, Shan Mingyuan pointed excitedly to the door: "Go and tell everyone right now that you are young and ignorant, and that what you said before was all a lie!"

Upon hearing this, Shanxi raised her cold eyes, which were filled with icy intent: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Shan Mingyuan's face darkened: "I'm your father! I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice, and I'm doing this all for your own good!"

If they don't apologize and don't take back those promises, who will fill this huge hole in Shanjia's losses?
