Chapter 1537: 1537 builds montum 1
Su Qingyue paused while eating her cake. “Xiao Yuchuan and I have no relation anymore. Don’t call him son-in-law anymore. To , he’s just a stranger.”
“Yes.” Yinzhu complied, cautiously observing her, “Young Lady, can you really forget about the son-in-law?”
“What’s there to not forget,” Su Qingyue’s face was serene, yet a twinge of hidden pain surged in her heart, “Even if I can’t forget now, as ti goes by, everything will gradually fade.”
“Young Lady, the son-in-law… Xiao Yuchuan was carried into the inn by the Xiao Family’s guards. It looks like he was seriously injured…”
“I do not wish to know about his affairs.”
“Oh.”
At that mont, a man in black exhibited his Lightness Skill to leap over the fence, and in the blink of an eye, he was inside Su Qingyue’s room.
Yinzhu was startled and drew her sword ready for combat, “Who are you!”
The man in black paid no mind to Yinzhu and kneeled on one knee before Su Qingyue, presenting a small booklet, “Master, I have gathered all the information you requested.”
Su Qingyue took the booklet and skimd through it, “Good job, well done.”
“The dicine prices and supply channels of the capital city, the fees for renowned doctors… Once you have investigated them, report back to separately.” Su Qingyue pulled out a stack of silver notes from her sleeve pocket, “This is ten thousand taels of silver notes. Before I arrive in the capital, buy a residence there.”
The man in black hesitated, “But, with so much silver, can you trust it with a subordinate?”
“From now on, you will be my right-hand man. I don’t suspect those I employ, nor do I employ those I suspect. There is nothing to worry about,” Su Qingyue’s lips curled slightly.
“Thank you for your trust, master.” The man in black departed with ease.
Su Qingyue took out a homade charcoal pen from her sleeve pocket and began marking in the booklet handed to her by the man in black.
“Young Lady, what are you doing?” Yinzhu asked curiously.
“All the good fields marked in the booklet will be bought. Moreover, I also plan to purchase several dilapidated farmhouses near the suburbs of the capital,” Su Qingyue declared indifferently.
Yinzhu rubbed her eyes, “Young Lady, the good fields you marked… seem… to add up to hundreds of acres… Do you intend to buy that much?”
“Not hundreds, but two thousand acres,” Su Qingyue replied, clear as water.
Yinzhu’s eyeballs almost bulged out, “Young Lady, what do you need so much land for? To collect rents?”
“No. I will grow herbs,” Su Qingyue stood up and walked to the window, “Within five years, I will surely beco the biggest dicine rchant in the whole Qingliang Country.”
This ambition had been there for a long ti.
Back then, when she told her third brother that she wanted to contract a thousand acres of good fields to grow herbs, he was very supportive. At the ti, however, she and her third brother did not have that much silver.
Nowadays, she had earned more than 100,000 taels from the Xiao couple and Chang Haotian alike, plus the sale of the forty three-story shopfronts with courtyards in Longwan Town, coupled with the opening of dicine halls, cake shops, restaurants, and the dividends from the partnership with the Drunken Immortal Pavilion to sell cakes nationwide.
She currently had nearly 600,000 to 700,000 taels of silver, which was more than the entire wealth of Longwan Town.
But just having money wasn’t enough; she needed to build power as well.
“Young Lady, you’ll surely achieve it.” Yinzhu felt that her mistress’s capability was greater than the sky and far surpassed the n of the ti.
“What I truly intend to do is not only beco a great dicine rchant, but within a maximum of five years, my power and wealth will surpass that of the first-class family, the Xiao Family!”
“Young Lady, you still can’t let go of the son-in-law…”
“No,” Su Qingyue’s eyes narrowed slightly, “I will not allow anyone to trample over again!”
