If the business wasn't bad, they should have used up all of their previous stock.

During these few days, Su Zhi had also made some new products at home, and they were the products with the best sales before replenishing the stock. It was still early, so she was in a hurry to take these things to Flower Mansion Tower.

Mother Ding persuaded her to stay at home and rest, but Su Zhi couldn't stay idle. She always wanted to see the situation in the shop. If the business was good, Hua Manlou might have to open a branch.

Li Yi had told him about this situation two years ago. The number of customers in the store gradually increased, and customers from many other places would come to pay their respects. Considering the distance, many people choose the principle of proximity and lose many potential customers.

Su Zhi wondered if she could open a branch in the capital. If it was Yang City or other places with a large flow of people, they could open a national chain.

Besides, he came to the shop today because of the doubt in his heart.

It was still early, Flower Mansion was still not open for business, and customers would not be able to come this early. When Su Zhi opened the door and entered, Li Yi was even surprised.

"It's so early, Little Su."

"Good morning, Brother Li."

Li Yi nodded as he greeted her before continuing to read.

Su Zhi was in no hurry to go to the third floor. She stood at the side, waiting for him to finish his studies.

Seeing that she didn't leave, Elementary Scholar Li put down his book and asked, "Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Su Zhi nodded and pulled over a stool to sit down. "There's something I want to ask Big Brother Li."

"Mm, go ahead."

"Brother Li, do you know a Lord Su from Beijing?"

When he mentioned the Su family, Li Yi's face turned pale. He raised his index finger and made a silent gesture. He got up and looked at the closed doors and windows, then turned back and asked, "Why did Little Su suddenly ask about this?"

Li Yi's expression changed. When Su Zhi saw this, she too became nervous.

What could the Su Clan not mention that caused the color of their faces to change? An Yang was the same, and so was Li Yi.

"I just happened to hear some news and wanted to ask you."

Staring at her, Elementary Scholar Li didn't answer immediately. Instead, he changed the topic and asked, "What happened after Little Su went to the palace and didn't come to the store for a few days?"

Su Zhi was shocked by his serious expression. In her memory, Li Yi had never been so cold. She pursed her lips and revealed everything. "The reason why I was summoned to the palace was entirely because Princess Anyang wanted to embarrass me. You know what happened last time, but we were cautious later on. She couldn't find a chance to make a move, so she allowed the empress dowager to step in.

Hearing her explanation, Elementary Scholar Li's complexion turned much better. But when she mentioned the Su Clan, she still felt fear.

"Since you want to know, then I'll tell you. But I don't know that much, after all, they are not in the capital, nor are they on duty in the imperial court."

He lowered his eyes slightly, his pitch-black pupils had a peculiar emotion. After a long time, he said with an extremely regretful tone, "The Su Clan was annihilated five years ago." After pausing for a moment, he continued, "According to the rumors, because the Su Clan was adulterous and traitorous, Lord Su was exiled to the Southern Sea and died along the way.

However, that's not the case. Lord Su was secretly killed by the waist punishment, while Young Master Su was decapitated. His corpse was separated into pieces. He truly died without a complete corpse. "

Hearing Elementary Scholar Li's words, Su Zhi's stomach churned as she broke out in a cold sweat. Just what kind of unforgivable punishment was this?

"The Su Clan has always been a group of civil servants. Young Master Su has great talent. Zhong Ming and Yu Xiu are both rare and talented. What a pity …"

Su Zhi could not help but shiver and ask doubtfully, "Then, is there really a traitor of the Su Clan?"

Li Yi snorted and laughed coldly, "The day that Lord Su died was clearly only the seventh month, yet the sky suddenly snow and the clouds pressed down on the city. This sky must have been wronged for a thousand years!"

That is to say, the Su Clan is most likely wronged!

Elementary Scholar Li sighed and muttered, "I remember back then, the Su Clan was high and clean, the Shen Clan was clean and honest, and the Jiang Clan was famous for their beauties. The Su Clan and the Jiang Clan were originally related by marriage, and in other words, they were both male and female. But then, somehow, the Jiang family's daughter had been chosen by His Majesty and had forcefully married her into the palace. After that, Xuan Fei had died horribly, which was what happened after that. "At this point, no one can shake the status of the Zhao Clan."

Su Zhi's heart ached. She didn't know why, but she suddenly heard a woman's miserable shriek.

She shook her head, her palms sweating from shock.

"Xiaosu, are you alright?"

She shook her head and forced a smile. "I'm fine."

When he mentioned the Su Clan back then, Li Yi's heart surged.

Young Master Su was the prettiest man in the capital. Not only that, his knowledge was unfathomable.

He had coincidentally seen her once when he went to the capital with his father. It was just that once he saw her from such a far distance, but a glance at her was enough to stun him for his youth.

The sage had passed away, and things had changed. In this world, there was no longer a man that Su Jun envied.

Li Yi still remembered that the year the Su Clan was exterminated was a disastrous turning point for Da Wei — Shen Lian was imprisoned, the Jiang Clan was never able to recover, and the Emperor was obsessed with cultivating the immortal path. The Zhao Clan controlled the imperial government.

At that time, General Xiao was fighting against the Huns, and Liu Zaifu was unwell. In the imperial court, there were a bunch of useless people.

Uncle Zhao was the head of the government, and he sold the position to the common people.

Those few years, the citizens of the Great Wei were in deep waters, until Liu Zai returned to the capital. Only then did the situation improve.

Elementary Scholar Li Xiu was dazed for a moment before he said earnestly, "Little Su, you must not tell anyone about the Su Clan in the capital. This is considered a taboo."

Su Zhi nodded seriously, and her heart sank as well.

If so, why did the empress dowager mistake her for a member of the Su Clan? Did the destruction of her face have anything to do with it?

"Actually, the Su Clan's injustice is much more tragic than what I've said. It's just that this matter is related to the most acrimonious secret of the court. Outsiders are not allowed to investigate any aspect of it. That's all I know."

"Even more tragic than this?"

She already felt that the Su Clan had suffered a terrible fate. Why did she hear Elementary Scholar Li say that they were only the tip of the iceberg?

"Mm, because the Su Clan's true extermination is by exterminating three generations of their branch members."

Su Zhi's heart shook. She was so shocked that she couldn't speak. That is to say, the Su Clan was killed along with three other clans?

"Okay, let's not talk about that anymore. It's about time. Qiu Hong and the others should be here."

Li Yi stood up to open the door, hurriedly cleaning up the things on the shelves.

Su Zhi stood blankly on the spot, her heart cold to the extreme.

She couldn't guess who had persecuted the Su Clan to such an extent. Was it the Zhao Clan? On charges of adultery and treason? During the reign of Emperor Wei Wu, the Su Clan was the only clan that had such an ending.

"Boss, you came really early today!"

Qiu Hong's call sounded out in her ears. Only then did Su Zhi come back to her senses, forcing herself to smile at her in response.

"Yo, what happened to your face? Why are there some red marks on it? "

"It's fine, I accidentally became allergic. "In the days that I was gone, how were the goods sold?"

Qiu Hong followed her up to the third floor. She pointed to the boutique next to her and said happily, "You've sold out all your blubber and hand cream. You even placed a lot of orders yesterday.

Su Zhi roughly glanced at the few remaining items on the counter. The haze in her heart had dissipated quite a bit. Only a few eyebrow pens and two bottles of perfume were almost sold out. She had to work harder today, no matter what.

She took out the cloth bag she had brought with her and handed it to Qiu Hong, reminding her, "These are all things that I did at home. You can take them and deal with them first, then have Shuang'er and the others go pick some mountain tea and plum blossoms.

"Alright. Also, the west side of the city says that a new batch of extremely good quality pearls have been brought in. I'm asking if you need them, so I can sell them to you at a cheaper price."

Su Zhi thought about it, after the weather turned hot, she would need sunscreen products, and using pearl powder to color and whiten the original chemical medicine would be good. She wouldn't worry about not being able to sell it anyway, so she didn't worry about the expensive raw materials.

"Sure, buy some and grind them into powder. I'll make some pearl paste and face cream."

Qiu Hong immediately went back to work.

Su Zhi entered the cubicle and first took some rose fruit oil for lipstick from the storage room, as well as various colors of white beeswax. With the raw materials, lipstick is quickly made in batches. Not long after, several finished products had been produced. They were all the color numbers that were sold well.

When Shuang'er knocked on the door to send her fresh flowers, Su Zhi had already worked hard to make mouth fat to last two days. Plus, she had nothing to do at home, which was enough to last for a long time.

There were so many varieties of camellias harvested that even the color was different. La Mei was still not defeated yet, so she was still useful.

Su Zhi soaked the flower in water, washed it and dried it, then cooled it in distilled water.

When it got hot, and the lavender and roses were open, she would try to use some of the bouquets to make lotion and mask.

Once busy, he couldn't care less.

The shadow of the Su Family had been forgotten for a long time. Su Zhi was busy with the products in her hands and did not have time to go out.

When the clamor came from downstairs, she was still curious. She opened the window and saw a crowd of people gathered downstairs to watch the commotion.

There were three blond Hu men in the crowd, dressed in brightly colored uniforms, shouting and peddling along the street.

Although the Great Wei emphasized on the control of agriculture and commerce, it still attracted many foreign merchants to do business.

In recent years, more and more merchants came from the Western Regions. Many commoners who had never seen a pervert before also came to join in on the fun.

Su Zhi could not see what Hu Shang was selling, and saw one of the man holding onto a guava.

The onlookers did not know what it was. They only saw a green fruit, afraid that it was not ripe yet. They all shook their heads and refused to buy it.

However, when the Hu Shang picked up the entire piece of wolf hide, the onlookers finally opened their mouths to ask for the price.

Su Zhi thought it was interesting and decided to take a look.
