She thought that by making this gesture, others would assume that she had unearthed a valuable stone.
The gambler lost everything, and instead of openly admitting it, he made all sorts of scheming decisions, which is truly laughable.
"Water Maiden, why won't you open your stone?" a chubby warlord said with a half-smile.
"Oh, my stone isn't easy to open. So, do you want to buy it from me?"
The fat warlord couldn't help but chuckle and quickly waved his hand: "We are buying and selling jadeite, not stones. Although jadeite grows inside stones, there is still a big difference between stones with jadeite and stones without jadeite."
“There is jade inside my stone too,” Qiao Lian’er said seriously.
The fat warlord laughed even more unrestrainedly, finally clutching his stomach, which heaved with each laugh.
“Miss Shui, I sympathize with your situation. Now that you are the master of these three mountains, we are practically colleagues. Colleagues shouldn't cheat each other. You should see if you can cheat one or two caravans. But be prepared, it can only be a one-off deal. Also, be prepared to run away to avoid those caravans causing trouble.”
Qiao Lian'er: "Oh."
Seeing her attitude, the fat warlord thought she was determined to continue the charade, so he lost interest and left.
That evening, Qiao Lian'er entered the space and cut open a pile of carefully selected stones.
Indeed, each piece is worth over 30,000 taels.
She touched the smooth stone surface, feeling the cold, lustrous texture of the jade.
A thought flashed through her mind: she would store all the most valuable stones, worth more than ten thousand taels, in her spatial storage and then resell them elsewhere.
Although she has ways to deal with it, these warlords will definitely try every means to take risks and get what they want in the face of huge profits.
She also wanted to discuss long-term cooperation with some caravans, and Boss Zuo's caravan was one of the targets.
After catching up on sleep in the time zone, Qiao Lian'er returned to Dazeguo that night.
Having determined that the stones were worthless and the warlords wouldn't bother with them, she placed the high-quality stones in a special location, and for now, she was relatively at ease.
However, she still selected some young and middle-aged people from the residents to guard the mountain, and they paid them extra wages.
Because of the time zone, it is daytime in Dazeguo now, and morning has just begun.
Qiao Lian'er can stay here all day and only return to Kachin in the evening.
So, she went to see her family first.
Not long after dawn, the entire Qiao family was having breakfast together.
When Qiao Lian'er suddenly appeared, everyone was stunned for a moment, then took it for granted, but the longing in their eyes welled up, even though she had only been gone for about ten days.
But it seems she went to a very, very far place, and they are worried about her.
"Breakfast is just right, piping hot." Grandma Qiao prepared it herself.
Qiao Lian'er didn't see Pei Qingrong, but she did see that there seemed to be another child in the courtyard, being held by a wet nurse.
"Your sister-in-law Dacheng just gave birth to a boy named Qiao Su," Wan said with a smile.
"Your sister-in-law is in her postpartum period."
Qiao Lian'er hugged Qiao Su. The little guy had rosy cheeks and hadn't opened his eyes yet. He was wrapped in swaddling clothes, and it was so cute that it melted everyone's heart.
Qiao Zhizhi's oil painting class is as popular as ever.
As for the Wu and Murong families, they fought each other every day, irreconcilable enemies. The emperor was annoyed by this and demoted both families to earls and demoted the official ranks of their sons, which finally calmed them down a bit.
To save her life, Wu Qingjin had both hands severed at the shoulders, her life completely ruined.
