Chapter 81 One should always be wary of others.

If she had been prepared, things wouldn't have turned out so badly.

Perhaps many people will deliberately take the medicine to get sick and extort money under Su Chang'an's instructions, but nothing will be worse than someone dying.

"We can add another point. Many people know that Yu Bao's fortune telling is accurate, and many people have seen it during the day. It says that you are destined to be unlucky, and anyone who intentionally harms you will suffer a backlash, while those who are sincere to you will have good luck."

Qin Tianhai also agreed with the Qin family's idea. He was happy to see that the Qin family had not been suppressed. As long as a person has the courage to move forward, they have already won more than half the battle. Therefore, he further improved upon the Qin family's idea.

Today's events were so sudden; everything had been planned out.

If Su Chang'an were to capture his son Qin Yulin, he would kill him without giving him a chance to explain.

If Li Siheng succeeds, he will forcibly take his daughter away to marry her.

This is a predicament, but Yu Bao has carved out a way out for them, and they themselves also need to be useful.

The horse had the character "Qin" written on it, so Su Chang'an would have no way to use this as an excuse later.

The evil in the shadows will not cease, but he will do everything that Su Chang'an wants.

Extortion and framing are one type of crime, while business disruption is another.

"We need to think more about this and make sure that this kind of thing never happens again."

Qin Tianhai said calmly that he needed to think carefully about what else Su Chang'an could do.

Kidnapping, framing, and false accusation, etc.

He needs to think carefully about how to deal with this.

"Let's see how things go tomorrow; we don't need to do so much for now."

Today's batch has already been made; we don't need to make so many for tomorrow yet.

We'll see how much we do next and then see how the business goes.

Madam Qin nodded: "Yes, the fish can be delivered normally these next two days. If the fish can't be sold later, we can make them into dried fish for our own consumption."

Niu Si is an honest man, and the cooperation has been very reliable so far. Qin Shi still wants to continue this business. If things don't look good in a few days, she will talk to Niu Si then.

"OK."

Qin Tianhai nodded.

"Father, Mother, is there anything I can do to help?"

Zhao wanted to help, but it seemed there was nothing she could do.

"You don't need to do too much hard work. Although the people who come to help are all from our family, it's not absolutely safe. This business is our lifeline. My imperial examination is still a long way off, and Su Chang'an won't make a move against me for the time being. All my comings and goings are related to this business. You should keep an eye on them at home to prevent being betrayed by your own family."

Wealth can be a powerful motivator, and Qin Tianhai dared not underestimate its influence.

They paid a fair wage, but compared to a windfall, it was nothing.

If Li Siheng can disregard human life for windfall gains, it's no wonder that his own clansmen would be tempted.

No matter what methods are used, the ultimate goal is to ruin the daughter's business. If laxatives are added to the product, people will get diarrhea and naturally won't want to buy it.

If you add spoiled ingredients, the resulting dough fish will spoil quickly. These small things can still damage your business, so you have to be careful.

"Father, my little sister is only thinking about making money for them. If they act like this, they are utterly heartless!"

Zhao understood Qin Tianhai's meaning, and she was deeply troubled.

"Silly girl, you can't be too careful. I can't leave the housework alone, so you'll have to work harder at home. This is just in case, but remember to catch the thief red-handed."

With a sigh, Zhang gave her instructions, saying that these were all important matters, and no one had an easy time dealing with them.

Zhao nodded cautiously: "I know, I will keep an eye on things."

If her father-in-law hadn't reminded her, she probably wouldn't have thought of this, and if something really happened, she would blame herself to death.

But her father-in-law had reminded her that she couldn't afford to make a mistake, and she would definitely keep a close eye on everyone.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Qin was deeply moved.

Madam Zhao smiled slightly and waved her hand: "We are family, there's no need for thanks."

"My dear child, you and Mommy have to work hard at home too."

Thinking of her child, Qin's eyes dimmed with heartache, but she had no choice. Her precious baby was asleep, and she couldn't take her on a journey, as that would not be good for her baby's recovery.

Don't worry.

Zhang said gently that she could handle such a small matter.

"It's getting late, let's go back and rest."

Qin Tianhai said gently.

Now that he's at home, he can relax. Next, he needs to think carefully about how to improve the preparations he needs to make.

Qin and Zhao got up and went back to their room.

Looking at the moonlight in the sky, Zhao felt worried.

Qin Yulin went to Wuzhou injured. I wonder how he is doing, whether he's tired from traveling at night, or hungry...

Qin returned to her room and gently lay down to sleep. She held Qin Jin'an in her arms and patted him softly. Despite her heavy heart, she quickly fell asleep.

...

Qin Yulin, who was on his way, was eating a kind of herb. Strangely enough, it was his horse that led him to find this herb.

The horse ate as well, and it took Qin Yulin countless hints before he finally understood that it was telling him to eat too.

Qin Yulin felt that the horse was very intelligent. He smiled and followed along to eat grass. The grass juice was not bitter, but rather had a slightly sweet aftertaste.

After eating it, I felt the chill in my body disappear, and I felt warm all over.

Qin Yulin then crushed some more juice and applied it to his buttocks before continuing on his way.

The moonlight is bright tonight; we can travel even at night.

He was just a little hungry and had no food on him. He licked his dry lips and patted the horse's back: "Good horse, you've suffered, but we still have to keep going. Yu Bao is waiting for medicine. If we can run, we'll run; if we can't, we'll walk."

The horse was panting heavily, but it didn't stop, carrying Qin Yulin on its way.

...

Inside the Su residence.

Su Chang'an's face was ashen, and he still couldn't calm down.

Su Changsheng and Su Changshui were also not feeling well.

Li Siheng knelt below, trembling. He hadn't expected to be captured even though it was dark.

"Why go back on your word after taking the money?"

Su Chang'an was very angry. He hadn't handled things well with Qin Yulin, and when he returned, his second and third brothers told him that things hadn't gone well with the Qin family either.

Li Siheng shuddered and said in a tearful voice, "My lord, please calm down. It's not that I didn't want to, but I really didn't dare. It was incredibly strange back then..."

Li Siheng repeated what he had said to Su Changsheng and Su Changshui.

Speaking of the dramatic events of that time, Li Siheng felt a chill run down his spine; he couldn't help but believe it.

Su Chang'an's face was grim. He knew the child was cursed, but he didn't want to admit such absurdity. So he threw a cup at Li Siheng: "Absurd! What curse? It's just that you're incompetent and useless! Since you dare not marry her, I will punish you!"

Li Siheng trembled: "My lord, spare my life!"

"Although I didn't handle things well, I still managed to get two hundred taels of compensation from Madam Qin. That must have been a huge blow to her. If you spare me, my lord, I will tell you something about Madam Qin, and you will surely be able to avenge her."

Li Siheng was not muddle-headed and quickly figured out how to extricate himself. Su Chang'an certainly did not expect that the Qin family would ask the official matchmaker to act as matchmaker.
