Chapter 239: Then let's hurt each other

Since they had done those things, they would leave behind transaction records and ledgers.

As long as they found these, the Wu family would definitely not be able to escape.

Old Lady Shi felt that this idea was not bad. "Then how do we act along? What if the Wu family specially invited a doctor to take a look at Fourth Son Shi?"

Shi Qingluo said, "Have you all forgotten about my hubby's skills as a doctor?"

"When the time comes, let my hubby prescribe some medicine that doesn't harm the body, and has similar symptoms after one is being poisoned. When the matter is over, just take some antidote."

Old Lady Shi was a little worried. "Then, will he really be poisoned?"

Third Son Shi added, "Mother, people from the capital all come to see our son-in-law for treatment. He definitely won't ruin his own reputation. Moreover, it is impossible to gain greater benefits without making sacrifices. Think about the countless gold, silver, and jewelry in the Wu family. Does Fourth Son Shi not want a share of them?"

Ever since he had witnessed his daughter's ruthlessness, he did not dare to have any petty thoughts and completely sided with her.

First Son Shi and Second Son Shi added, "That's right. It's just pretending to be poisoned. What's the big deal? If you're unwilling to let our fourth brother suffer, then our family won't be able to get so much gold, silver, and jewelry."

They didn't really care about what their brother would do in the end. 

What they cared about was how to get a share of money from the Wu family.

Old Lady Shi thought about it and said, "Alright, then I'll go to the county town tomorrow to discuss it with Fourth Son Shi."

Shi Qingluo reminded her, "Find an open space to talk about it. Don't let others hear it."

Old Lady Shi nodded. "No problem."

After asking around about what she needed to know and coming up with a way to deal with it, Shi Qingluo stood up. "Alright, then I'll go back."

Old Lady Shi pretended to ask, "Don't you want to sit for a while longer?"

Shi Qingluo shook her head. "No!"

Before she left, she waved at Fourth Daughter Shi, who was cowering not too far away. "Accompany me for a walk."

Fourth Daughter Shi was stunned for a moment before a trace of joy appeared in her eyes.

However, she did not dare to agree to it.

Instead, she looked at Old Lady Shi and Madam Niu.

Madam Niu did not like this daughter who didn't speak much, so she was very indifferent.

Old Lady Shi nodded. "Since your sister wants you to go out for a walk, go then."

Only then did the Fourth Daughter Shi follow Shi Qingluo out of the door.

The other girls of the Shi family looked at the door with envious eyes.

After walking for a while, Shi Qingluo stopped and asked, "Do you have any plans?"

Fourth Daughter Shi carefully looked at her yearning elder sister with envy.

She pursed her lips and asked, "I heard that you're going to open a wool workshop and find unmarried girls to work there. Can I go?"

Some time ago, she heard from her mother and father that they would find suitable partners for her and her other sisters.

From what she heard, it would depend on which family's betrothal gifts were higher, and her family would let them tie a knot.
