C21 The next Head of the Su Clan (2/2)

He carefully observed the change in expression on Su Zixuan's face, and when he saw that she didn't have any reaction, he finally let out a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.

”Father was afraid that you would stay in the inner chamber. It seems that I was overthinking things.” Su Qian Shan nodded with gratitude.

”You may be a woman, but you are also aware of the circumstances of your family. If nothing goes wrong, this huge fortune will be handed over to you.”

”I don't want the successor I carefully taught to be too shortsighted. He only spends his time on matters of women.”

If Yuan'er hadn't been seriously ill and had become a fool, how would he let his daughter carry the heavy burden on her shoulders?

The worry on Su Qian Shan's face was obvious. Su Zixuan wanted to blurt out that her brother was still alive, but she resisted herself and didn't say anything.

Prince Jin also said that this was not a definite thing. If he gave his father hope and made him disappointed, it would be too cruel.

Moreover, no one was here right now, so he might as well wait until the Godly Doctor came to the estate to start his treatment before explaining the whole situation to his father.

”Your daughter understands father's efforts. In the past three years, it has been your daughter who has disappointed father.” Su Zixuan's heart was filled with guilt.

Over the past three years, she had failed her father countless times.

She had made a fool of herself when it came to men, causing her father to lose all face. In order to please the Shardcore Kingdom, she had even caused the Su Clan great losses.

Su Qian Shan walked to the table and pointed at a pile of account books. ”These are the accounts of the past year for the twenty clothing stores. Take them back and count them properly before reporting to me.”

The thick pile was almost the height of half a person. Su Zixuan couldn't resist any longer and felt her scalp go numb.

”I hope you're not just checking the books,” he said. Su Qian Shan's gaze was thought-provoking. In order to do business, one not only had to know how to account, but also had to have the brains.

With a bitter face, Su Zixuan took the account book. She knew it wouldn't be that simple.

In Xiao Yuan, Su Zixuan was instructing a few maids who knew how to read and write. She casually picked up an account book and started flipping through it in boredom.

In the capital, to be able to maintain a shop for a long time in the bustling capital, one either had to have a huge backing or the ability to do so.

The Su Clan was naturally made up of both.

In this sort of situation, the task given to her by Father Su was a little difficult. The shop was already mature, and not only had she gained her reputation, she had also earned a lot of money.

In this situation, it was almost impossible to say anything else.

For the next few days, Su Zixuan didn't have time to care about anything else besides the accounts. It wasn't until the news arrived a few days later that she vaguely remembered that there were still things that Prince Jin had asked her to do.

”How is it?” She gently pecked the cold tea and asked.

”Hong Yao has already found the place where the prescription was placed, but it will take some time before she can send the entire recipe over.”

The one who replied was the man who had been monitoring Su Xue Ming last time. Seeing that there was no one who could use her in the courtyard, Prince Jin had already given him to Su Zixuan.

The Jin family's hidden guards were naturally useful, but how did Su Zixuan know that he was loyal to Chu Yixuan? Perhaps he just wanted a better reason to keep an eye on her.

He couldn't change the situation no matter how much he wanted to. He might as well relax. There was no need for that!

”Good, keep an eye out. Report to me immediately if anything happens.”

”Yes sir!”

She picked up the teacup and brought it to her lips, stopping after drinking it. She said to the back of the person who was about to walk out of the door, ”Ji Tong, you are a good person.”

The figure at the door froze, then turned around to find that the woman had already stood up and was walking into the room.

Ji Tong hesitated for a moment before walking out.
