A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Liu Yuyao changed into a bright red wedding dress and stood in front of the bronze mirror, looking left and right, feeling very proud.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Liu Shuyao suddenly came to her mind.

The last time she accidentally met Liu Shuyao, she was really worried for several days, fearing that Liu Shuyao would come to her and take away her position as the eldest lady!

Fortunately, there has been no news of Liu Shuyao since we met that day. She must have returned to Ping'an Town a long time ago!

In less than a month, she would be married to the Chen family. By then, even if Liu Shuyao came, what could she change?

Her stepfather would never admit that he had recognized the wrong daughter, otherwise how would he explain to the Chen family?

The maidservant standing aside flattered: "Miss Yuyao looks so beautiful in her wedding dress. She will definitely be the most beautiful bride when the time comes!"

Liu Yuyao didn't respond, but just raised her lips slightly. Although she had never met her fiancé, she heard that he was a man of both talent and beauty.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel that she was born to be rich. Unlike Liu Shuyao, who treated a peasant as a treasure and was extremely satisfied with the little money she earned!

There was no wind at night, and the sky was as dark and silent as if it had been splashed with ink. The fire in the dilapidated temple flickered, illuminating the shadowy figures inside.

Zhiqing and Zhizhu leaned back to back with their eyes closed. Yingzi sat there staring at the fire in a daze. Shen Qingqian leaned on her shoulder and seemed to have fallen asleep.

The officers drank some wine again that night, and then they just spread some hay under their bodies and went to sleep. Only two people were left to guard the place, sitting against the wall.

The women were shackled again, but this time they were shackled on their feet, probably to prevent them from escaping at night.

As the night deepens, people become more and more sleepy.

Lian Yingzi also fell asleep, leaning against the wall, with Shen Qingqian leaning on her.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a gust of wind blowing in from the window, and the flames on the ground shook noticeably twice.

The educated youth and Zhizhu opened their eyes at the same time.

"somebody is coming!"

Zhizhu whispered, and his expression immediately became alert.

The two looked around and found that except for the two guards, everyone else had fallen asleep.

But the two officers didn't seem to notice anything unusual. They moved their bodies and leaned against the wall again.

"Something's wrong, I'll go to the door and check!"

The educated youth said. But as soon as she stood up, she smelled a sweet fragrance.

"It's poisonous, cover your mouth and nose!"

The educated youth said this very loudly, reminding Zhizhu while also reminding everyone else.

Sure enough, after she shouted like that, more than half of the people in the dilapidated temple woke up.

However, many people were still a little dazed and did not react for a while to what had happened.

As soon as Shen Qingqian and Yingzi woke up, Zhiqing and Zhizhu covered their faces with handkerchiefs respectively.

They both covered their mouths and noses with their other hands and dared not speak anymore.

The fragrance in the air became stronger, and everyone could smell it. Seeing what Shen Qingqian and the others did, they quickly covered their mouths and noses.

"Hahaha!"

A sharp and piercing laugh rang out, like a ghost in the dark night, making people shudder.

Then there was a loud bang, and the door of the dilapidated temple was kicked open. Along with a gust of cold wind, more than a dozen people rushed in.

The leader was a man wearing a green brocade robe and a white belt around his waist. Hanging from the belt was an emerald green jade pendant that was obviously worth a lot of money.

The man was in his forties, with a face as pale as jade, a pale, bloodless complexion. His eyes were narrow and sinister, and he exuded a dangerous aura.

Following closely behind him was a young man in his early twenties, and behind him were a dozen men in black.

And that young man was Qiao Peiwen who had not been seen for a long time!

Yingzi and Shen Qingqian looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes!

Perhaps because there were too many women here, Qiao Peiwen did not notice them.

Shen Qingqian couldn't help but frown. Could it be that these people were coming for her? Was the robbery and murder she encountered last time also the work of Qiao Peiwen?

While he was thinking, he heard the white-faced man speak, "What you just got poisoned by is Shilixiang Cartilage Powder. If you inhale even a little bit, your whole body will become sore and weak after a while. It's too late to cover your mouth and nose now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the short officer said in horror: "I must have been hit. I have no strength left!"

The chief of the police was also obviously fooled. He barely stood up by holding on to the wall. He looked at the white-faced man and asked, "Who are you? Why did you poison us?"

The white-faced man looked at one of the women and said with a half-smile, "Of course it's for Madam Zheng!"

Madam Zheng obviously knew the white-faced man. She stared at him coldly and said, "Eunuch Qiao, if you want my life, just take it. There's no need to poison me and harm others!"

Eunuch Qiao? Shen Qingqian understood. It turned out that this man was a eunuch! It seemed that these people were not coming for her.

Eunuch Qiao was still smiling, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"Madam Zheng, the women in your Zheng family are all skilled in martial arts. In order to save time and effort, I have no choice but to resort to this last resort.

But don't worry, this medicine is not fatal, and the effect will automatically dissipate after an hour."

Mrs. Zheng's face showed no emotion, she just said calmly: "So, Eunuch Qiao wants to kill us all now?"

Eunuch Qiao said: "Mrs. Zheng should know the purpose of my coming here. As long as Mrs. Zheng hands over the things, I will consider letting the others go."

Mrs. Zheng swallowed her saliva and said, "I have already burned the things."

Eunuch Qiao obviously didn't believe it and gave Qiao Peiwen a look.

Without saying a word, Qiao Peiwen grabbed a little girl of about eleven or twelve from the crowd of women and put a knife to the little girl's neck.

"Yan'er! Yan'er!"

Mrs. Zheng and the other women screamed at the same time and wanted to rush over to snatch the person away, but unfortunately they were all drugged and could not move.

Yingzi's chivalrous heart burst out again and she wanted to help, but she couldn't move.

She whispered in Shen Qingqian's ear: "Miss, it's not good, I've also been taking Chinese medicine!"

Shen Qingqian also smelled the fragrance just now and thought she would be infected as well, but unexpectedly, she was the same as before and there was nothing abnormal with her body.

She whispered, "I seem to be fine. We'll just have to see what happens."

Eunuch Qiao ignored the anger on the faces of the women and said nonchalantly, "What do you think, Madam Zheng? If you don't hand over the things, I will kill her!"

Madam Zheng's face turned pale, and she said, "Eunuch Qiao, even if I hand over the things, you won't let us go today, right?"

Eunuch Qiao said, "As long as I get the things, I only want your life, Madam Zheng. I can let the others go."

"Okay! I promise, you let Yan'er go."

Mrs. Zheng slowly stood up, took out an envelope from her bosom, held it in her hand, and staggered towards Eunuch Qiao.
