Meanwhile, 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 extremely 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 me out, did you?"

Old Lady Shi immediately 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 medicine to the Wu family, right?"

Fourth Son Shi immediately 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 medicine 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 medicine bottle will be your life-threatening charm if you keep it with you."

She emphasized, "Besides, we aren't the ones who keep it to threaten the Wu family, but you guys did."

Fourth Son Shi frowned. "You mean that the Wu family will kill me because of this medicine 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 me and think that you can defeat him, you can keep it."

She continued with a deeper meaning behind her words, "If Master Wu and his son are assigned to the borders, there will only be a bunch of women 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 me a wretched girl anymore?"
