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

Chapter 81: Are You Kidding Me?

Fourth Son Shi held his breath but he still didn't want to give up.

He changed the topic. "Do you know how to make those little black balls?"

He added, "The Wu family is willing to pay another sum of money to buy its formula."

Shi Qingluo smiled. "My master invented it. How would I know the formula?

"If you really want to know, you can ask him yourself."

Fourth Son Shi's face instantly darkened. If they could ask him, they wouldn't ask her.

He didn't want to miss out on the benefits the Wu family offered and couldn't help but threaten, "If you offend the Wu family, you won't reap any benefits either.

"If I were you, I would take out these two formulas and sell them to the Wu family to resolve our past conflict. It'll be better for both parties in the future as well.

"The Wu family has a magistrate backing them up. Your husband might even need his help in the future."

Eldest Young Master Wu promised him that if he could persuade this wretched girl to sell them the formulas, he would marry one of his half-sisters (daughters of his father's mistress) to him.

He would benefit from having some ties with the Wu family.

Shi Qingluo did not mind. "I've already offended them. So I'm not concerned that I might continue to offend the Wu family."

Then, she curled her lips in disdain. "Besides, my husband is so outstanding. Can those bastards in the Wu family be compared with him? Does it look like my husband would need their help?"

She looked at Fourth Son Shi with disdain. "Are you kidding me?"

His mouth twitched. Was this wretched lass too confident in Xiao Hanzheng?

They were talking about a magistrate, how could a mere elementary scholar hold the same status as him? She said that her husband didn't even need his help. She was really arrogant.

Just as he was about to speak, Shi Qingluo said again, "You're too stupid. Others are manipulating you. Yet, you are still so proud of yourself.

"Do you really think that the Wu family's promises will come true?

"I'm afraid that once you take the money, you won't have the life to spend it.

"Or you'll have benefits but no opportunities to enjoy them."

Looking at Fourth Son Shi's agitated persuasion, she was confident that the Wu family had promised him great benefits.

Fourth Son Shi remained silent.

This wretched girl not only looked down on him, she even cursed him for not having the life to enjoy it. This was too detestable.

Xiao Hanzheng also despised Fourth Son Shi for delaying his stroll with his wife. "We still have matters to attend to, please leave."

Fourth Son Shi was still unwilling to give up. "Why do you have to do this, you..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Shi Qingluo became impatient and pointed at Dumby. "Good goose, bite him!"

Dumby, who was following behind and had been trying to push Xiao Hanzheng away unsuccessfully, rolled its eyes when it heard this.

It flapped its wings, pounced over, and bit Fourth Son Shi.

Fourth Son Shi was caught off guard. Its attack caused his hands to be swollen. His body was in extreme pain.

He wanted to push the black goose away with his hands, but Dumby was especially fierce and valiant.
