Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress

Chapter 251: No One has been Playing with Her for a Long Time

Upon hearing the second elder's words, Dugu Xing's fingers tightened. However, she hesitated. "But what about the family head?"

"The family head has already lost his most basic judgment because of that mother and daughter." The second elder pondered for a moment. "Don't go easy on anyone in tomorrow's competition.

"Since Master wants to bring Su Huiqing up, you guys have to suppress her harshly. Even if Master can do anything, he can only protect Su Huiqing for a moment. Can he protect her forever?"

His tone seemed to have other meanings. Dugu Xing was excited and looked at the second elder in surprise.

The second elder didn't explain.

For the past few days, he had a reason to go against Dugu Heng. When Dugu Heng was talking to the butler, he heard the fact that Dugu Heng was injured.

Thus, he was still afraid of Dugu Heng. However, it was not as respectful as before.

...

The first elder and Dugu Heng had a discussion with those families and didn't come out for the entire afternoon. Even dinner was brought in by the guards. No one knew what they were talking about.

Su Huiqing went to look for Uncle Chen and talked to him about opening a potion shop. When she was called back by Dugu Heng, the elders and Dugu Heng were all waiting for her in the hall.

Su Huiqing gave them a proper bow before sitting on an empty chair. She supported her chin with one hand and poured herself a cup of tea. She looked extremely lazy.

Looking at her, not to mention the first elder, even Dugu Heng felt a sense of pity.

Apart from pity, they also hated that she had failed.

The members of the Dugu Family would go to the training grounds whenever they were free. They would either go to the training grounds or seek guidance from their teachers. Anyway, they would be busy. For someone like Su Huiqing, she would be idle all day.

"Since Qingqing is here, let's start." Dugu Heng reached out and knocked on the table. "After so many days of delay, we have to confirm that some Dugu Family's idle businesses will be under Qingqing's name."

Su Huiqing stopped drinking her tea and looked at Dugu Heng with deep eyes.

Dugu Heng, on the other hand, seemed to know what Su Huiqing wanted to say. He waved his hand and told her not to speak. He knew that the Su Corporation could earn money, but how could the businesses of the aristocratic families be the same as those of the secular world?

Every item used for cultivation was extremely expensive. Some of them even need spirit coins. Of these industries, it was naturally possible to earn spirit coins.

"There is a potion company in the west." The second elder pondered for a moment. "This is the only idle business for now."

With that said, no one in the hall spoke. Naturally, there were people in charge of these businesses. These elders were indeed not very clear.

"Second elder, the pharmaceutical company that you mentioned is losing money every year." The others didn't know, but the butler behind Dugu Heng was very clear about it as the management of these companies would give him an account book every year. "How can such a company be given to Missy?"

Every family had more or less some properties to maintain their operations.

The Dugu Family was no exception. This pharmaceutical company was opened in the early days. At that time, the Dugu Family still had a few pharmacists.
