Miss Liu picked up the things. After what happened before, she had developed a certain ability to withstand pressure. Although Qiao Jianer's words were frightening, she spoke clearly and with a very frank attitude. Miss Liu seemed to really see a glimmer of hope.

"Really? I won't die and I will survive this disaster."

And then, as before, the secret remains a secret.

Qiao Jian'er said calmly, "Otherwise, I already know what Wu Qingjin wants you for. I could just kill you directly as a precaution. Why go through so much trouble?"

"Every wrong has its perpetrator. You would rather commit suicide by taking poison than harm my sisters, so I saved you this time."

Miss Liu mustered up the courage to raise her eyelids and look at the woman in front of her. Qiao Lianer's expression was calm, making it difficult to guess her emotions, but it gave people a sense of security.

Her fingers tightened, clenching the pill: "Okay, I'll listen to the princess."

Anyway, she was ready to take rat poison and was doomed to die, so she might as well give it a try. If she died, she would be in a better position than she expected, and if she lived, she would be making a profit.

That night, the person who was responsible for keeping an eye on Miss Liu came back to report that Miss Liu had taken the medicine as prescribed and immediately began bleeding from all seven orifices, but she was still alive. The Liu family invited several doctors to surround her, but they were all helpless.

As long as there is breath, there is hope. Families like this who can afford the expenses will not give up. Miss Liu can hold on for half a month without any problem.

Qiao Lian'er had already figured out the kind of medicine Wu Qingjin wanted to give Qiao Zhizhi. Within half a month, Wu Qingjin's hands would be crippled. No one knew how devastated and desperate he would be, so how could he care about the lives of others?

If all else fails, there is still her.

"What? Miss Liu committed suicide by taking poison?" Wu Qingjin had been waiting for good news. She still had confidence. Miss Liu had been forced into a desperate situation. To survive, to avoid ruin, what else could she do? Anyone would have made a wise choice.

I never thought that Miss Liu would do such an unexpected thing.

"Idiot, what is she pretending for?" Wu Qingjin laughed angrily.

"This kind of person is as timid as a mouse. When things go wrong, they only think about dying. Death will put an end to everything." Murong Shu said with a smile: "Now there is only a trace of breath left. Maybe in two days, he will report to the underworld. He has lost his value to us."

"Qing Jin, I'm afraid we have to change our target."

"Yes, I can only replace one. I have to carefully select from the list. It's really hard to find someone like Miss Liu, who looks like a good girl who is easy to control but also has shameful secrets." Wu Qingjin sneered: "It's a pity that this idiot ruined my plan and made me waste my efforts."

Wu Qingjin asked someone to bring the list. When she took it, her hands went weak and the list booklet fell to the ground.

"Strange, Qingjin, your hands seem a little clumsy these days." Murong Shu said in confusion.

Wu Qingjin shook her hands and stretched her arms. When the maid was about to pick up the booklet, she stopped her and bent down to pick it up herself. It wasn't a big problem, but her arms felt heavy and not as light and free as before.

"It's unusual. Could it be that I've hit some dietary taboo?" Wu Qingjin instructed the maidservant, "Go get the court doctor to come and see me."

"I sometimes feel uncomfortable too. It may be because I have been eating and living with you for a long time, so I have been affected a little." Murong Shu said.

But looking at Wu Qingjin's condition, it was obviously much more serious than hers.

Wu Qingjin frowned. For some reason, she felt an indescribable weirdness, but she had not yet connected this matter with certain things. She just felt a cool breeze blowing through her body and she shivered.

The court doctor arrived quickly, took Wu Qingjin's pulse, and examined his hand carefully.

"I don't see anything wrong with your hands, young lady. I'm afraid you've been feeling irritable and anxious these days, which has affected your movements. It's nothing serious. Just take care of yourself and don't worry too much. Maybe it will be fine in a couple of days."

Wu Qingjin was very satisfied with the diagnosis. She had indeed been uneasy for a long time. Seeing Qiao Zhizhi become so successful and famous, she couldn't eat or sleep well, and her body was affected. It was normal.

As for Murong Shu, she felt jealous and sorry for Wu Qingjin, which was bound to have an impact.

Both of them convinced themselves and felt relieved.

Qiao Jianer stood aside and watched them choose midnight. Without deciding on the next target, she went back first.

The next day, she went to the gambling stone stall first.

The gambling stone stall is still very busy, with a large crowd of people gathered around, picking stones and cutting stones. Some people make a fortune here, while others lose everything. One family is happy while hundreds of families are sad.

While dealing with the customers, the boss looked at the corner of the street. When most of the afternoon had passed, the boss shook his head and sighed. It seemed that today would be a failure again.

I'm afraid that the extraordinary woman just agreed empty-handed and never thought about coming again.

But, isn't it a bit stupid to refuse the opportunity to make a fortune?

The boss just lowered his head, then realized something and immediately raised his head again. His eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly handed the work in his hands to the waiter.

"Oh girl, I've been looking forward to seeing you for a long time, and finally you've come." As soon as the boss arrived in front of Qiao Jianer, he bowed enthusiastically, as if what appeared before his eyes was a mountain of gold and jade, the dazzling light almost blinded his eyes.

Such a master cannot be found anywhere in the world.

"Something has happened recently, boss. Let's find a place to talk it out." Qiao Lianer said.

"Okay." The boss quickly led Qiao Jianer to a teahouse, booked a private seat, and told the waiter to prepare the best tea and snacks.

Qiao Jianer picked up a piece of dessert and took a bite, waiting for the boss to speak.

"That's right." The boss picked up the cup, took a sip and put it down, with a gleam of businessman in his eyes.

"I'm looking forward to your arrival, so naturally I want to cooperate with you. As for how to cooperate, I already have a plan."

"With a stone-cutting expert like you, I plan to purchase large quantities from the southwestern countries. When the time comes, you will be responsible for helping me pick out stones worth more than three thousand taels. How about that?"

"Boss, are you planning to take all these stones into your pocket?"

"Not really, not really. You have to give people some hope," the boss said with a sly smile. "Otherwise, if they can't get a large shipment for a long time, they'll lose confidence. So, I won't do anything too extreme. Ultimately, it's all about the long-term. As a businessman, I do have some foresight."

Qiao Jianer's fingers wandered along the wall of the cup, obviously considering it.

"So, how does the boss plan to divide this account?"

The boss held up three fingers to her and said, "You get three, I get seven. You only need to talk and you can get 30%. It's effortless. What a great deal."

Qiao Jian'er's expression remained unchanged, she just shook her head slightly: "No, I want 50%."
