Chapter 141: Step by Step
The winter night in the Prime Minister's Mansion was pitch black because it had been raining. There were no lights on in most places outside. A cold wind blew by, making people feel scared.
"Miss Su Er, this is the cake you want to eat."
As soon as Minister Li came in, he saw Su Yue sitting upright on a chair, so he placed the pastries on the sandalwood table with a smile.
"Lord Li is very patient. I am usually a little greedy. When I wake up, I want to eat something that is not available in the mansion. This really annoys Lord Li."
Su Yue glanced at the pastries, with no special expression on her face, and just said lightly.
"No, no, I don't worry. I don't worry." When Minister Li heard Su Yue say this, he quickly put on a bigger smile and pretended not to care.
"Lord Li, I won't beat around the bush. You should know clearly what your son's illness is.
I can tell you clearly that I can cure syphilis, and after the cure, your son will be able to have children normally. ”
Su Yue looked at Minister Li with a firm gaze.
"That's great, really great. I'll trouble Miss Su Er then."
When Minister Li heard Su Yue's confident tone and said that the cure would not affect the continuation of the family line, this was undoubtedly great news for him.
After all, she is old and can no longer have children. If her son cannot be born, the Li family's incense will be cut off.
"But... I have told Lord Li before that if you come to me for treatment again, you will have to pay a price." Su Yue looked at Minister Li and changed his tone.
"No matter what the cost, as long as my son's disease can be cured, I am willing to pay it."
When Minister Li heard Su Yue's words, he expressed his attitude without any hesitation.
"Are you really so sure, sir? What I want is not cheap."
Su Yue looked at him with probing eyes.
"I'm sure I can agree to any condition."
To Minister Li, Su Yue was just a young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
How outrageous could the conditions she proposed be? Besides, he was financially strong, so no matter what the conditions were, they would not be a problem for him.
"You are a man of few words, so I will not be long-winded. I know you, Lord Li, have a silver mine."
So after saying this, he turned around and sat back on the chair, motioning for Minister Li to come over and sit down.
When Minister Li heard Su Yue's words, he felt a buzzing sound in his mind. How could the girl in front of him know his biggest secret, a secret that was hidden so deeply?
The next moment, an undisguised murderous intent appeared in Minister Li's eyes.
Su Yue naturally sensed this murderous intent. It seemed that Minister Li still wanted to kill people to silence them.
"Sir, do you not want to cure your son's illness?"
Su Yue's words reminded Li Shangshu, but he did not answer, just stared at her.
"Since I dare to say it, I have naturally thought of a way out. I advise you to think twice before you act."
At this time, Su Yue picked up a bag of pastries on the table at random and seemed to be untying the rope casually.
"Who told you?" Minister Li's voice was low, without any of the flattery from before.
"You don't need to know who told me this. I just want to know whether you are willing to use this silver mine in exchange for your son's life."
Su Yue had already opened the cake by now. She saw that it was actually steamed chestnut cake with osmanthus sugar. As she opened it, a light sweet smell wafted through the room.
"Are you really not afraid that I will kill you to silence you?"
Minister Li saw that Su Yue was standing in front of him, not only was she not shy at all, but she was also eating cakes calmly.
“Of course I am afraid, but I don’t mind if your son is buried with him. But if your son dies, your Li family will be extinct. What’s the point of keeping this silver mine after you die?
Also, I am just a girl, so naturally someone told me your secret. If I die, your secret will no longer be a secret. ”
Su Yue spoke indifferently, picked up a small piece of cake and put it in her mouth. It melted in her mouth and tasted good.
She finished eating a piece of cake under Minister Li's murderous gaze. Minister Li's heart was in turmoil, but finally, he calmed down.
"How much do you want?" These four words seemed to be squeezed out from between Minister Li's teeth.
"All of them." When Su Yue heard Minister Li's answer, a hint of success flashed in his eyes. It seemed that his previous difficulties and tests of the bottom line were not in vain.
If she had done nothing at the beginning and just asked for the silver mine, it would have been impossible.
"Don't go too far!"
This girl actually wants all the silver mines. You know, if all the silver mines are mined, it can be equivalent to half of the national treasury, or even more.
The reason why Minister Li kept the silver mine was that he was worried that so much money would suddenly appear and would be too conspicuous.
"Then there's nothing to discuss. Take your son away."
Su Yue patted the remaining pastry crumbs on her hands, turned her head away from Minister Li, and clearly wanted to see him off.
Minister Li was stunned. He didn't expect Su Yue to be so decisive. Thinking of his son's condition, he gritted his teeth.
"I can split it fifty-fifty."
What Su Yue said was right. My son is dead. What is the point of keeping so much money for myself? I only have 20 to 30 years to live. How much can I spend in 20 to 30 years?
"One nine, I'm nine."
Su Yue turned her back to Minister Li and smiled. For Minister Li, a 50-50 split was already a cut of his flesh, but for her, it was not enough.
"At most 40% to 60% of the total, 60% for you!" Seeing Su Yue like this, Minister Li gritted his teeth and gave another 10%.
"Sir Li, since I know you have a silver mine, I naturally know the address of the silver mine.
You bet I won't tell anyone in order to keep the silver mine for myself. But my lord, please don’t forget that after you die and the Li family is extinct, this silver mine will be ownerless.
I think Lord Li must be aware of this saying that your entire family will be wiped out. By then, not only the silver mine, but even the houses and land under your name will be divided up.
At that time, I was only in my thirties or forties, so I could naturally take over the silver mine alone. The reason why I was willing to discuss this with Lord Li was naturally that I didn't want to suffer the consequences and let others benefit from it.
I am willing to cure Mr. Li's illness in exchange for you. For you, it is a sure win, because I don't want to waste time.
This silver mine will be useful to your Li family only if you have descendants. I hope Lord Li can understand this relationship instead of bargaining with me like buying vegetables. ”
Su Yue turned her head, looked directly into Minister Li's eyes, and stopped talking.
After listening to Su Yue's analysis, Minister Li was stunned. He really didn't think so much about it. He was only concerned about the silver mine.
"Miss Su, the maximum is 82, you are 8."
When Minister Li said this, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if his flesh was being cut off alive, but he was powerless to do anything.
However, as Su Yue said, the inheritance of the family line is the key point. What does it matter if the son is dead, no matter how much money one has?
"Master Li, you are so generous. I am not stingy. I can give you another 10%, but you have to do me a favor. Don't worry, this favor will be very simple for you."
After Su Yue finished speaking, she gave a mysterious smile.
Half an hour later, Su Yue's door opened, and both of them smiled. However, Minister Li's smile seemed a little forced.
"Xiao He, bring the medicine." Su Yue gave the order, and Xiao He obeyed and left.
"Master Li, bring Master Ling in. I will give you acupuncture."
Then, under Li Yan's horrified gaze, Su Yue took out a row of silver needles, some thick, some thin, some long, some short.
"You're not scared, are you? If you are, I can give you an acupuncture needle to make you unconscious, so you won't be able to see."
Seeing Li Yan's expression, Su Yue deliberately showed contempt.
"You're joking. What are you afraid of? I'm a real man. Just give me the acupuncture. I won't say a word."
When Li Yan saw the contempt in Su Yue's eyes, a feeling of dissatisfaction surged in his heart.
"Best, as you said." After Su Yue finished speaking, the silver needle directly pierced into Li Yan's fingertips.
"Ah!!" Li Yan screamed in pain as his fingers connected to his heart. All the masculinity was thrown out of his mind.
After one stick of incense.
"Okay, give him the Xiaohe medicine to drink. Sir Li, this is the prescription. Remember to boil it and take it every day.
After that, within a month, he would come every seven days. After a month, the symptoms on the young master's body would subside.
After that, come here once every month. After a year, come here once every year. I promise that your condition will never relapse. ”
As soon as Su Yue finished speaking, Minister Li felt cheated. Su Yue's words clearly showed that she was afraid that he would regret it and keep his son hanging for the rest of his life.
"Master Li, I know what you are thinking. I have given you the prescription, and you can verify its authenticity. Venereosis is a terminal illness! Do you really think that you can be completely cured so easily?"
Su Yue said this and stopped talking.
"What's wrong?" At this time, Prime Minister Su came late and looked at everyone in the room.
"It's nothing, Brother Su. Your daughter is truly a daughter of a tiger father."
Minister Li's words "Brother Su" made Prime Minister Su very happy from the bottom of his heart. What Yue'er had promised him just now during the day, had come true so soon?
