[1] After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

241-242

Chapter 241: She was just that narrow-minded

Shi Qingluo kick started the wool workshop and recruited some women and girls to work there.

They would come to the workshop every morning with lunch provided later on.

They would knock off in the late afternoon before dinner.

The work had to be completed in the workshop and could not be brought back home.

Then, she asked Mother Xiao and Xiao Baili to knit a sweater for Xi Rong.

Xi Rui and the others' sweaters were indeed knitted by a few skillful old women.

About ten days later, a secret guard of Mo Qingling came to the Xiao family and sent a note.

There was only a chinese character "ke" (okay) on it.

Xiao Hanzheng knew that Mo Qingling was already prepared.

Thus, he prepared the medicine and handed it to Shi Qingluo. "My wife, after Fourth Son Shi takes this medicine, he will suffer a little, and will be weak as if he had been poisoned. Give him the antidote afterwards."

They were also afraid that Fourth Son Shi would be carelessly instigated by the Wu family or played some tricks if he had the antidote in advance.

Without the antidote, Fourth Son Shi, who was afraid of death, would naturally act more realistically. 

Shi Qingluo took the medicine. "Yes, I'll send it to the Shi family."

When she went to the Shi family, all the members of the Shi family were present.

Shi Qingluo passed the medicine to Old Lady Shi and said meaningfully, "Whether the Shi family can become rich or not will depend on Fourth Son Shi."

Old Lady Shi was initially hesitant as she was afraid that something would happen to her youngest son.

However, upon hearing this, she was persuaded by her entire family and made the decision.

"Alright, I'll send it to him in the city today."

Shi Qingluo said, "Don't, let my father do it. Otherwise, if you send it to him today and he is poisoned tomorrow, even a fool in the Wu family will suspect you. At that time, it will be difficult to act if they counter-attack first in front of the county magistrate."

Old Lady Shi was stunned.

She had obviously not thought of this.

She smiled. "As expected, Qingluo is smart."

Then, she personally gave the medicine to Third Son Shi.

Before he left the house, he received a hint from Shi Qingluo with her eyes.

He understood that his daughter had asked him to personally supervise Fourth Son Shi to take the medicine.

Otherwise, if Fourth Son Shi were to be brought back to the Wu family, not only would it be troublesome, but it would also disrupt their overall plan.

He nodded at Shi Qingluo and left.

Madam Niu was nudged by a young girl, so she went forward to look at Shi Qingluo.

"My eldest daughter, arrange for your sisters to go to your wool workshop."

Shi Qingluo raised her eyebrows. "You want me to support them?"

Madam Niu was a little afraid when she saw Shi Qingluo's expression.

After all, she had been whipped many times before.
