Since that's the case, why not try a different approach and do things in a new way?
On the surface, he remained calm, but in reality, he cut off his half-sister's lifeline with medicine. Even if she could be triumphant for a while, it would only be a flash in the pan. In the end, all the resources of the Marquis's mansion would belong to him.
Su Xiangru smiled slightly. Her mother came from a prestigious family, making her completely different from her half-sisters.
What her birth mother, the princess, possessed and included in her dowry was far more than just the staggering wealth on paper.
These prominent families, which have prospered for many years, have accumulated not only wealth, prestige, and connections, but also some highly effective secret medicinal formulas.
These prescriptions, besides the obvious ones that invigorate qi and nourish the body, and the ones that beautify the skin, naturally also include the secret prescriptions that can solve the worries of the matriarch.
These remedies each have their own secret formulas, and every family possesses some to varying degrees. These are passed down to future generations and secretly given as part of the dowry to daughters they favor, helping them gain a foothold in their husband's family and providing support to their in-laws. Of course, these daughters are usually legitimate daughters.
The princess also possessed similar prescriptions, including one she brought from home and another that the late princess had personally given to the princess who had just given birth to the legitimate son of the Jingbei Prince's Mansion before her death. However, Su Xiangru knew that none of these prescriptions had the same effect as the one she possessed.
After learning that her mother had these secret medicines, she secretly took some and had them mixed, and even prepared medicines with other effects.
According to Su Xiangru, her mother was too kind. She should have used medicine to prevent the birth of any more children in the household after Su Xiangru gave birth to her brother and herself, so that their positions would be more secure.
It's a pity that her mother rarely used these medicines.
Su Xiangru was different; she had been eyeing these medicines ever since she discovered them. And long ago, as her half-sister grew up, Su Xiangru began to pay attention to the confidantes and trusted men around her.
After careful consideration, she actually found a relatively easy loophole to exploit.
A generous reward will surely attract brave men, and Su Xiangru refused to believe that the conditions she proposed could not move a pretty and ambitious young maid.
As for the enormous benefits promised to that person after the deed is done, that depends on whether she is fortunate enough to accept them.
It must be said that Su Xiangru was indeed very successful. The benefits she offered stirred up the pride in the green-clothed woman, which had been temporarily suppressed, making it hard for her to restrain herself.
The man in green hesitated for only a moment before being blinded by the immense benefits and deciding to betray his master, whom he had served for many years.
She put a small porcelain bottle into a hidden pocket in her clothes, got up and left the room, heading towards the tea room next to the main house.
Su Han didn't like having too many people around him, so he only kept Yun Yi by his side.
The room was completely silent, and wisps of smoke rose faintly from the incense burner near the door in the side room.
Su Han leaned back on the soft couch, quietly flipping through a book. Although the ancient book was concise and lacked punctuation, she got used to it after a while and didn't have any reading difficulties.
The curtain to the side room twitched slightly, then was lifted from the outside, and a woman in green entered the room carrying a tea tray.
Su Han had just turned to the last page of the book when he casually tossed the miscellaneous essays in his hand onto the table beside the couch.
"Miss, would you like me to get you a different one?"
Yunyi, who had been standing quietly behind her master, carefully picked up the book on the table and asked softly.
