Hearing the sharp voice of the woman inside the sedan chair, Madam Qin quickly explained, "She was almost dying from her illness, but the second branch of the family meddlesomely saved her, and she never had another chance after that."
However, she also had doubts in her heart, feeling that the woman's voice was somewhat familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.
"What a piece of trash! What use are you?!" The woman inside the sedan chair said with utter disdain.
Qin didn't speak, burying her head on the ground, but inwardly she curled her lip in disdain.
If she were truly useless, the other party wouldn't have contacted her again.
I was worried that they would be abandoned, but now I'm completely relieved. It turns out that she's the only person these people can turn to.
After all, the other party wanted that little bitch to die in the most reasonable way possible, without arousing any suspicion.
That confirms that the other party is very afraid of being investigated.
Although she didn't know why the other party, who was of such high status, was being so hesitant, it was a good thing for her!
"I'm asking you, can you find another chance to kill that little bitch?" After a moment of silence, the woman inside the sedan chair spoke first.
Qin did not agree immediately, but instead retreated to advance, saying with difficulty, "Before, I always deliberately provoked her, wanting to use the bailiffs to teach her a lesson, but now she has become smarter and is not easily provoked. I'm afraid it will be more and more difficult for her to act in the future, and I dare not guarantee when I will succeed."
"Heh, so that's what you said to Lady Feng before, right?"
After listening, the woman inside the sedan chair sneered, "You don't need a lot of excuses, just say whether you can do it before you arrive at the place of exile."
To reach Qiongzhou, one needs to cross the Qiongzhou Strait.
That strait is extremely dangerous; one wrong step and you could be swallowed by the sea. She certainly wouldn't go there lightly.
Therefore, we must kill Yun Zhourong before she arrives in Qiongzhou in order to control the situation.
"Yes, yes, it's definitely possible!" Madam Qin assured her repeatedly.
"Hmph, I'll trust you one more time. From now on, you can contact this Lady Zhong."
After the woman in the sedan chair finished speaking, she threw out a money bag and said coldly, "Get out of here."
When Qin picked it up, she found it was much more generous; it should be about twenty taels of silver.
"Thank you so much, thank you so much, I'll be leaving now!" She thanked him repeatedly and left quickly.
On the surface, he appeared grateful and fearful, but inwardly he couldn't help but sneer.
She wasn't stupid. Before they reached the place of exile, that little bitch Yun Zhourong absolutely couldn't die, otherwise how would her family continue to live?
Of course, once we get there, that little bitch must die. She dared to disobey her like that, and she must pay the price!
"Master, why didn't you just kill that little slut? Why go through all this trouble?" After Qin left, Lady Zhong asked, puzzled.
"If we kill him, who will take the blame?"
The woman inside the sedan chair said coldly, "Killing that little bitch is easy, but once it's investigated, it will easily attract attention. I can't take any risks."
Otherwise, all the efforts will be in vain.
"Indeed, you are of noble status, and it is not worth risking your life for a criminal."
Although Lady Zhong did not understand why the woman in the sedan chair was so afraid of being exposed, she did not dare to ask any more questions. Instead, she gritted her teeth and said, "This little bitch is lucky. Lady Feng led the wanted bandits over before, and she still managed to escape. This time, smallpox did not kill her."
"Yes, if she could have died of smallpox this time, everything would have been perfect. What a pity."
The woman inside the sedan chair also clenched her fists, feeling that Yun Zhourong was like an inextinguishable weed, truly annoying.
“My lord, I don’t think that Qin is a docile person. What should we do if she continues to outwardly comply but inwardly defy us?” asked Lady Zhong.
"Don't worry, I know Qin's little schemes all too well. As soon as that little bitch's matter is resolved, that will be the time of her death. I'm afraid that if I get involved with that little bitch, I won't have so many scruples when killing others."
As the woman inside the sedan chair spoke, her eyes suddenly turned cold, and she handed a box to Lady Zhong, saying, "Take this."
The female official, Zhong, quickly took it and asked cautiously, "My lady, what is this...?"
"The Bewitching Gu, once used, can make the person afflicted by it completely obedient to commands. I only recently obtained it myself, so make good use of it," the woman inside the sedan chair said calmly.
Lady Zhong was overjoyed and immediately knelt down, promising, "Don't worry, I will definitely complete the mission."
The village, Da Niu's house.
Yun Zhourong took two clean quilts and a down jacket to Da Niu's house and left him ten taels of silver.
"We...we can't accept this money!"
Upon seeing this, Da Niu Niang immediately refused, saying, "You saved my child, and I haven't even had a chance to thank you for your kindness. How can I possibly accept your money?"
“Big Niu’s mother, listen to me first. You’ve been doing all the dirty and tiring work taking care of the patients in the communal room all this time. You deserve it,” Yun Zhourong said earnestly.
Taking care of a patient is a very tiring task, especially turning the patient over, wiping their body, and cleaning up their excrement and urine. It is somewhat inconvenient for Yun Zhourong, an unmarried young wet nurse, to do these things.
Da Niu's mother volunteered to take on all these tasks, not to mention cooking for everyone.
This was a great help to Yun Zhourong.
“Even so, it’s not worth ten taels of silver. If you go to work in town, you’ll only get one tael of silver a month.” Da Niu’s mother still refused to accept it.
“When you were in the dormitory, you did several jobs by yourself, and I actually have another favor to ask you.”
Yun Zhourong pressed the money into Da Niu Niang's hand and said seriously, "If you don't accept it, then you're not willing to help."
"Well... okay then, thank you!"
