After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure Chapter 140 - She had sold them out and they still had to he

anwhile, Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng went to the Shi family’s residence.

Today, when the old lady and the others saw Shi Qingluo, they didn’t give them a grumpy look anymore.

“You guys are here, take a seat!”

Old Lady Was extrely enthusiastic and even asked her other granddaughter to serve Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng tea.

It was even rarer that she offered to tell her to add brown sugar in their tea.

Shi Qingluo sat down and took a sip. “Did the Wu family agree to your request today?”

Old Lady Shi smiled and said, “Yes, it was all thanks to you.”

Shi Qingluo looked at her and asked, “You didn’t sell out, did you?”

Old Lady Shi imdiately waved her hand. “No, how could I sell you out?”

The main reason was that she didn’t dare.

Otherwise, if this wretched girl found out, she would definitely teach her son a lesson.

Shi Qingluo smiled and nodded. “That’s right. Only when I have a good life, will you guys be able to enjoy it too.”

She then turned to Fourth Son Shi and asked, “You didn’t give that bottle of dicine to the Wu family, right?”

Fourth Son Shi imdiately shook his head. “I didn’t give it to them. You said that I shouldn’t give it to them, so no matter how much Eldest Young Master Wu offered today, I didn’t agree.”

Shi Qingluo nodded. “Well done.”

She continued, “Tomorrow, you and my husband will go to the county town and give the dicine to Magistrate Mo.”

This evidence would allow Mo Qingling to investigate further.

Fourth Son Shi was stunned. “Ah, why do you want to give it to him? Don’t we have to keep it to ourselves in order to continue threatening the Wu Family?”

Shi Qingluo said, “Only by giving it to Magistrate Mo, will we be able to continue staying alive.

“The Wu family isn’t a kind hearted family.

“This dicine bottle will be your life-threatening charm if you keep it with you.”

She emphasised, “Besides, we aren’t the ones who keep it to threaten the Wu family, but you guys did.”

Fourth Son Shi frowned. “You an that the Wu family will kill because of this dicine bottle?”

This was unlikely, right?

Seeing that he wasn’t convinced, Shi Qingluo added, “I heard that Eldest Young Master Wu is a notorious mastermind. If you don’t believe and think that you can defeat him, you can keep it.”

She continued with a deeper aning behind her words, “If Master Wu and his son are assigned to the borders, there will only be a bunch of won and children left in their house. Then, you, as their son-in-law, might be able to gain a lot of assets from the Wu family.”

Fourth Son Shi was moved after hearing this.

Old Lady Shi patted her leg and instructed Fourth Son Shi, “Listen to Qingluo.”

If the Wu family was destroyed, her son might really be able to get a share of the Wu family’s property.

Then it wouldn’t just be 1000 taels, but who knew how many thousands of taels.

Just thinking about it excited her.

Shi Qingluo chuckled softly. “You’re not going to call a wretched girl anymore?”

Old Lady Shi and the rest remained silent

Old Lady Shi smiled embarrassedly. “We’re a family, how can we call you a wretched girl?”

Fourth Son Shi and Old Lady Shi had similar thoughts.

Suppressing his excitent, he said, “Alright, I’ll hand over the dicine bottle to Magistrate Mo tomorrow.”

Shi Qingluo knew that rather than threatening them that they would lose their lives, listing out the benefits would be more effective to persuade them.

She then looked at Fourth Son Shi and said, “If you want to have a share of their family assets as soon as possible, after your new wife returns to her maternal family on the 3rd day after the wedding ceremony (a tradition in ancient China), both of you can continue to stay in the Wu family’s house and choose not to leave.

“If you find evidence that could send the Wu family away or give them a jail term, hand it over to Magistrate Mo as soon as possible.

“Not only will you not be implicated by the Wu family as their son-in-law since you reported it, our county magistrate will also praise you.”

Only by providing Fourth Son Shi with such a wholeso benefit, would he be less foolish in giving in to his temptation and compromising with the Wu family.

This dog-eat-dog situation ought to continue.

Fourth Son Shi felt that it made sense. “No problem.”

He knew that Xiao Hanzheng and Magistrate Mo were very close.

It seed like Magistrate Mo would punish the Wu family.

Then what was he waiting for? He had to drag the Wu family down quickly so that he could receive his share of their assets.

Just like what Shi Qingluo ntioned, if he were to receive credits as the whistleblower, not only would he not be implicated, the magistrate would also reward him.

He could not help but beco determined to destroy the Wu family imdiately.

Old Lady Shi and the others were also dazzled by the Wu family’s assets. “Yes, bullies like the Wu family should have been exiled long ago.

“If we can find evidence, we are doing sothing good.”

The corners of Third Son Shi’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

It seed like his family had taken so of his advice, although this was the good deeds that they were doing.

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, “That’s right. When the ti cos, those who have been bullied by the Wu family will definitely thank you all.”

She continued talking nonsense in a serious manner. “Fourth uncle’s reputation is better now, and it’s more beneficial for his imperial examinations. In the future, he might even be able to beco a high school scholar or an official in the future.”

With Fourth Son Shi’s devious mindset, he was already at his maximum potential to be a tongsheng, but of course she wouldn’t say it out loud.

She still had to give the Shi family more hope so that they would work harder.

These words were very satisfying to Fourth Son Shi, Old Lady Shi, and the others.

“Qingluo, it’s all my fault for misunderstanding you in the past as your grandmother.”

Old Lady Shi looked at Shi Qingluo with a compassionate face. “We are a family. Forget about those unpleasant things. Let’s keep in touch more in the future.”

This girl was indeed worthy of being the disciple of an old immortal.

Her brain was really agile.

In the future, if their family wanted to prosper, they would have to mingle with her more.

It was very crucial that she gave them more ideas.

Shi Qingluo also smiled warmly. “Of course. We are a family. If you are happy, I am happy too.”

Those who didn’t know would really think that they had a good relationship.

Xiao Hanzheng looked at his little wife.

A smile appeared on his face.

Only his little wife could trick these troublemakers to even offer themselves to her doorstep.

His little wife had sold them out and they still had to help her with her plans.

After Shi Qingluo finished instructing the troublemakers of the Shi family, she left with Xiao Hanzheng.

Seeing the big goose following behind the two of them in a very human-like manner, the Shi family was amazed by Shi Qingluo’s ability to get whatever she wanted.

Third Son Shi also beca more determined to listen to his daughter after seeing her goose behaving like this.

Even her big goose could be so obedient and human-like.

This girl was too amazing. It was only a matter of ti before he had a son.

Old Lady Shi thought for a mont and instructed her family, “Don’t call her ‘wretched girl’ anymore. It’s so unpleasant to hear.”

Mdm Niu curled her lips. “Then what should we call her?”

She was afraid and resentful towards her daughter who would whip her vines.

Old Lady Shi gave her a warning look. “Just call her Qingluo. This is a na that an old immortal gave her. How blessed it is.”

The main reason was if they continued to address her like before, she beca unhappy and refused to give her family any advice, who would be able to help them?

Moreover, her husband, who was an elentary scholar, was very close to a magistrate and he also had a powerful teacher backing him.

A noble young master from the capital was also staying at his house.

One could easily tell that his future was boundless.

Now that they had finally managed to nd their relationships, only a fool would want to offend her by calling her nas.

Old Lady Shi was very shrewd in this aspect.

Mdm Niu thought to herself, you didn’t say so in the past.

She wondered who was the one who said that it was a curse for a country girl to have this na, but it had now beco a blessing…

Third Son Shi understood Old Lady Shi very well and guessed her thoughts.

He gave her a thumbs up. “You are still amazing, mother. As the Chinese saying goes, the oldest ginger is the spiciest.”

Old Lady Shi gave a smug look on her face. “Of course.”

Although Mdm Niu and the others had yet to change their stand, this old lady was in charge of their family, so they could only abide by it.
