Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, but then quickly said, “Peonies, as many as possible.”

“Understood!” Dong Yan nodded, then hastily retreated to prepare.

Su Qian, on the other hand, was completely unaware of Xiao Yan’s plans. She hurriedly returned home and entered the secret chamber to refine elixirs.

In the three days before the Su family began to sell the Soul Cleansing Elixirs, she had also refined a large number of Vitality Fortifying Elixirs. They had been piled up in the warehouse of the Qian Yao Pavilion. Every day, she sold from the inventory while orderly refining more elixirs to keep up with demand. Even if something unexpected happened to the Su family’s side one day, she could quickly release the stock at once and sell it at a low price, suppressing the Su family.

But now, Xiao Yan had bought all of their stock in one go, leaving her no choice but to work overtime and stay up late to refine elixirs.

In the secret chamber, Su Qian was earnestly refining elixirs, which took the entire day.

Outside the secret chamber, Gu Qingyou and Liu Qi led the two young masters and looked at Su Qian through the transparent crystal wall of the chamber with worried expressions on their faces.

…..
“Uncle Qingyou, will it be bad for my mother’s health if she works so hard to refine the elixirs?” Su Ye looked worriedly at Su Qian in the secret chamber, his heart filled with intense unease.

“Although it won’t cause too much harm, it’s not a good thing for Master to work day and night like this,” Gu Qingyou sighed, “but the matter with the Su family is very important to her. It’s useless for us to persuade her.”

“It’s all my fault. I should have rejected the Ninth Prince’s Residence’s large purchase at that time.” Liu Qi lowered her head guiltily, grinding her teeth as she fiddled with the handkerchief in her hand.

“You can’t be blamed for this. If you don’t sell to a customer who came to buy something, people will think that we have no credibility,” Gu Qingyou said and suddenly changed his tone. “However, this cannot happen again.”

“Yes, I understand. Please rest assured, Chief Steward.” Liu Qi nodded and immediately reported, “Chief Steward, the alchemists under us are also rushing to refine the Vitality Fortifying Elixirs. At the current speed, we can start selling them tomorrow.”

Gu Qingyou breathed a sigh of relief, “Today, the Su family must be feeling very pleased.”

“Don’t worry, Chief Steward. The Su family’s elixirs are not as good as ours now, and the prices are high. Even if someone buys them, their business will be at most one-third of what we usually make. It won’t be too good,” Liu Qi quickly said.

Gu Qingyou nodded. His heart ached as he looked at Su Qian, who was frantically refining elixirs, through the transparent crystal wall. He wished he could rush in and help her endure the suffering.

Unfortunately, the requirements to become an alchemist were very harsh, and he did not have that kind of talent.

Gu Qingyou was focused on watching Su Qian that he didn’t notice the two young masters whispering to each other next to him.

“Brother, so Ninth Uncle is a bad person?” Su Qingqing lowered her voice and asked cautiously.

“Probably not.” Su Ye said uncertainly.

“If not, why would Ninth Uncle buy the elixirs that Mother refined and make her suffer so much?” Su Qingqing looked worriedly at Su Qian, who was working hard in the secret chamber, and her heart ached. “If only I could help Mother.”

“We have no choice. Mother won’t allow us to work so hard. We can only wait obediently.” Su Ye reached out and patted Su Qingqing’s head. “Besides, I don’t think Ninth Uncle is that kind of person.. What do you think?”
