Wu Qingjin cried and threatened suicide several times, but now she can't even control her own life and death.
He was eventually imprisoned and lost his freedom.
Murong Shu also fared poorly.
The Wu family spread rumors that she had poisoned Wu Qingjin, causing her reputation to deteriorate day by day, turning her into a vicious woman. In addition, the Murong family's prestige had declined, and their social standing had slipped. Families that had originally intended to marry into the Murong family all backed out.
Even families of equal social standing look down on the Murong family.
Murong Shu suffered a series of blows, and her former smugness disappeared. She gradually became mentally unstable and talked nonsense every day.
Qiao Lian'er checked on Miss Liu's condition again. The effects of the medicine were almost over, and Miss Liu was getting better every day. She was now able to get out of bed and move around.
After learning about these matters, she went to find Boss Zuo.
The caravan was still on its way, a month-long round trip, and it would be several days before they returned to the capital.
Mr. Zuo was busy at his jade gambling stall when he looked up and saw her. He quickly walked over and said with great enthusiasm, "Miss Chen, please come to the usual place."
We went to the same teahouse as last time. Boss Zuo ordered tea and snacks. A plate of all kinds of dim sum arrived, so many that the table was almost overflowing.
Qiao Lian'er's brow twitched at the sight.
Mr. Zuo treated her with utmost respect, offering her tea instead of wine.
“Miss Chen, Captain Tang’s message arrived yesterday. He said that your friend Miss Shui has selected some good stones for the caravan. Once the stones arrive and are inspected, the prices at the stone gambling stalls will have to be raised.”
The letter said that the rate of good quality jadeite was over 80%, which was an exaggeration. It would definitely cause a jadeite gambling craze.
Miss Shui has excellent judgment, and she even has such a skilled friend; he should definitely try to win her over.
Qiao Lian'er took a sip of tea: "Boss Zuo, actually I came to see you on behalf of my friend Miss Shui. She wants to discuss a long-term business deal with you."
Mr. Zuo looked very interested: "It's an honor, Miss Chen, please tell me quickly."
"Miss Shui has acquired three large mines, which are already in operation. Her mines not only contain jadeite, but also rubies and emeralds. The rate of high-quality goods is high, and the quality is definitely not a problem."
"She's just starting out and wants to find caravans to cooperate with, so I'm the first person I thought of was Boss Zuo. If Boss Zuo is willing, she can give up some of the profits, so it's a win-win situation."
Boss Zuo pondered: "What I mean is, we can only get our goods from Miss Shui."
“That’s right. For the same price, Miss Shui will give you better goods. After all, she can appraise them herself. If you get your goods from her, you can earn at least 30% more.”
With a glint in his eyes at the prospect of earning an extra 30%, Boss Zuo nodded and said, "If we can really achieve this goal, our caravan will only be willing to cooperate with Miss Shui. Once the stones arrive, Miss Chen will appraise the price and batch, and the three of us—" He slammed his hand on the table and said, "We'll make a fortune!"
Despite Boss Zuo's agitation, if he knew that Miss Shui and Chen Xin were the same person, and that Qiao Lian'er had made a killing off him twice, he would probably spit out a mouthful of blood.
