Qiao Lian'er first sent a letter to the Murong family, then changed her clothes, put on a veil, and waited at the agreed location.
She took a pill, which would change her voice.
A short while later, Murong Shu arrived in a hurry.
She pushed open the door to the private room and saw a woman sitting inside, her face obscured.
"Who are you?"
"Miss Murong, you don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that I can help you."
Murong Shu looked incredulous: "But there is no antidote for this kind of poison. You don't look very old, so how could you possibly find an antidote?"
"In this world, everything is interconnected and mutually restraining. There is no poison without an antidote; it's just that some are extremely difficult to find."
Qiao Lian'er looked at Murong Shu: "Although the condition of your hands is not as serious as that of Miss Wu, it will still bring great inconvenience to your life, and you may not even be able to find a suitable family to marry into."
Murong Shu was worried, but the thought that Wu Qingjin's hands were completely useless made her feel a little better.
"If you can heal me, I will repay you handsomely."
"I don't want much, just ten thousand taels of gold in exchange for Miss Murong's healthy hands." Of course, Qiao Lian'er couldn't possibly refuse money; besides money, she was also playing a long game.
Murong Shu is by no means innocent; she conspired with Wu Qingjin and was never a good person to begin with.
"Ten thousand taels of gold? Where can you find an antidote that expensive?" Murong Shu's expression changed upon hearing this.
Even though the Wu family is of high standing, ten thousand taels of gold is by no means a small amount.
"This money is for Miss Murong's happiness for a lifetime. In your eyes, is your life less than ten thousand taels of gold?"
Qiao Lian'er, without any patience to straighten her sleeves, seemed about to get up and leave: "I have a lot to do, Miss Murong, please make a decision quickly."
Murong Shu became anxious: "Ten thousand taels of gold is fine, but how can I be sure that the antidote you give me will work? You don't even dare to show your true face. What if you're just trying to scam me out of money?"
Qiao Lian'er leaned forward, flicked her fingers, and put some powder into Murong Shu's teacup.
"Miss Murong, please drink this tea and see if you feel any better."
Murong Shu did as instructed with some skepticism. After waiting a while, she moved her arm and found it became more flexible. Although the dosage was small and the effect was not significant, she could clearly feel the difference.
Her eyes lit up immediately; this really was the antidote.
Qiao Lian'er opened her palm, revealing a white, crystalline pill: "As long as the money is right, Miss Murong will recover completely within half an hour, and there's no need to worry about her condition worsening."
"Otherwise, your hands will only be able to perform 30% of their original function."
"It's good that it works. Our Murong family is not short of money. We're just afraid of encountering scammers. You wait here, and I'll go and deliver the money right away."
Murong Shu stood up, then suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Qiao Lian'er.
"What about Wu Qingjin? Will you save her or not?"
“The antidote is limited. This one dose is just enough to save Miss Murong, so it’s more worthwhile for me to come to you.”
So, Wu Qingjin is beyond saving. Murong Shu felt a surge of joy and almost burst out laughing.
I wonder how Wu Qingjin would feel if she saw that both of her hands were intact. She must be furious, devastated, and desperate.
She had always considered Wu Qingjin her best friend since childhood, but she never expected that this despicable woman would turn around and bite her, accusing her of poisoning and framing her, completely disregarding their past friendship.
Now that they're enemies, she doesn't need to be polite; she can act as smugly as she wants.
Now she can't wait to show off in front of Wu Qingjin.
