When Lord Chen saw that the sweet potato flour was made so quickly, he unexpectedly gave Su He a smile.

"You mean these five kilograms of sweet potato flour are made from seventy kilograms of sweet potatoes?"

"Yes, sir. The most laborious part of making this is mashing the sweet potatoes into a paste. It took six adults in our family a whole day to do it."

Except for the sweet potato flour yield, Suhe tells the truth about everything else.

"If you can make 70 kilograms out of 5 kilograms, that means you can make one kilogram of flour out of 14 kilograms of sweet potatoes."

Mr. Chen was quite satisfied, after all, he had agreed before that 15 jin would be paid for 1 jin.

"You did a good job. You can leave the recipe and leave. I will ask for credit from the higher-ups and will not treat you unfairly."

Lord Chen glanced at Su He and said something that sounded pleasant to the ear, but Su He still heard arrogance and contempt.

In fact, Su He had not expected to get anything. He specifically mentioned it in court mainly to let the magistrate understand that their Wang family was valuable. If the embroidered official was not there at the time, Su He was confident that he could keep his family safe. Hong Shu's political achievements could not be compared with a little bribe.

She was not afraid that County Magistrate Zhang would kill her. She had done favors for all three masters of the Zhao family, and the Zhao family members were all somewhat loyal. Although they might not fall out with the county magistrate for her, they could make the county magistrate have some reservations.

Su He didn't care at all about what Lord Chen said about asking for credit. After she finished explaining the production process and precautions, she simply left.

Time was tight and she was rushing to Zhao's house.

Today is still not a day for massage, but Su He suddenly thought that the time when He Hua was framed in her previous life had long passed.

She was so busy that she forgot about this matter.

Su He took Shunzi to Zhao's house and entered Cijingyuan, where they unexpectedly found Zhao Qingli was also there.

Su He was a little hesitant. Many things change in life, and she didn't know whether Du Juan would do the same thing again.

"The old lady is well, Second Master."

Su He greeted the two of them politely.

Chen had long been accustomed to Su He's visits every few days. After Su He became a household magistrate and left the house, they saw each other more often, and now it was very natural for them to get along with each other.

"Lotus, why did you come a day early?"

Su He smiled and nodded to the two of them, "Madam, you also know that we grow sweet potatoes in our village. Although this thing has a high yield, it is not durable. After experimenting, I made sweet potatoes into sweet potato flour. This flour is snow-white and tastes good. Madam, I will bring you two kilograms next time."

Chen nodded and said, "You are here to see the embroidered official Chen Shi today, right? Have you delivered the sweet potato flour?"

"It has been delivered. Master Chen is quite satisfied."

Su He was not as relaxed as before because of Zhao Qingli's presence. It was obvious that they had serious business to attend to, so she came in and interrupted them.

Su He was a little hesitant for a moment, but thinking about how the Chen family had taken care of her, she decided to speak out.

"Madam, Lotus has something I want to tell you."

Chen was a little surprised, but she cooperated and signaled Mother Zhang to guard the door.

"Tell me, what happened?"

"Madam, please don't be angry. Madam, I dreamed that you were harmed. Something happened in the tea room. You drank tea with added ingredients and were poisoned."

Chen's heart sank to the bottom. If someone else had said that, she would definitely be angry, but Su He had helped them so many times, and last time she had predicted that the third daughter-in-law was pregnant, so she had to believe it.

"How could it be? I've already hidden here, why are you still..."

"Mother, leave it to your son, you don't have to worry."

Zhao Qingli interrupted Chen's words. Su He lowered her head, her heart was in turmoil. It turned out that He Hua had been a scapegoat in her previous life.

I just don’t know who wants to kill Chen.

"Hehua, have you sorted out your family issues? I guess you're busy too. You don't need to come for the next two months. Stay home and spend time with your family."

Su He had no objection and left promptly.

After Su He left, Zhao Qingli began to arrange people to closely monitor matters in the tea room. It was not enough to just monitor the tea room, the entire Zhao Mansion was taken care of by Zhao Qingli.

Chrysanthemum has been sneezing because of the cold these days. Lanhua has been transferred to the small kitchen to work by her family. Only Chrysanthemum is still working in the laundry room because she has no money to bribe others.

"Chrysanthemum, I made you some ginger and brown sugar water, drink it quickly."

Lanhua was furious when she saw the weak Chrysanthemum. "I told you a long time ago that you can't do this laundry job anymore."

Juhua held the bowl to keep warm and drank slowly in small sips.

"I'll be fine after drinking this ginger and brown sugar water."

Lan Hua is very disappointed with her. When Su He was still alive, they all listened to Su He. Now that Su He is gone, the two of them actually focus on Lan Hua.

"You are such a stubborn person. Lotus told us not to wash clothes, but you didn't listen. There are fewer people in the mansion these days, and the kitchen is still short of a cook to wash vegetables. I've asked for you, and you can get it for 2 cents. You'd better seize this good deal."

Juhua was very happy to hear this bargain, "Didn't you say you wanted one tael of silver before?"

"I don't know either. Maybe they are short of people. Don't you have 500 coins on you? Hurry up and give me 200. I will help you stay."

Lanhua patted Juhua's shoulder, feeling happy that they could be together again.

Speaking of money, Juhua was a little discouraged. "Lanhua, ask Manager Li if he can wait until my monthly salary arrives before giving it to me."

Lanhua looked at Chrysanthemum as if she were a fool. Chrysanthemum shrank up completely. She also knew that she was being ridiculous.

"Everyone is scrambling for this kind of good thing, but I just happened to come across it and immediately left it for you. The monthly salary was just issued two days ago. Is this your silver?"

"My brother was sick and couldn't survive without medicine, so I gave him all my silver."

Lanhua was so angry that she poked Juhua's head with her finger, "Do you have a pig brain? You are already 19 years old and you don't have any money. The mansion stipulates that you must leave the mansion at the age of 20. You have a lot of diseases and no money. What are you going to do in the future?"

Juhua smiled bitterly, "But my brother is dying of illness, how can I bear it?"

Lanhua opened her mouth but stopped cursing. "I'll pay you this money first. If you come into the small kitchen, we can get a lot of benefits. Even if you only work for a year, it's worth it. You should take care of yourself in this last year."

After saying this, Lanhua took out her purse and left. She had to hurry to pay the money. She had to seize this good opportunity.

Chrysanthemum stared at Orchid in a daze as she left in a hurry. In her mind, she kept thinking about Orchid's words: "Take care of yourself this year."
