Chapter 223 Ye Siyin is pregnant
Zhao Mingxu didn't have much money left and could barely save three people.
This is his last resort, and he doesn't want to give it up.
So he pointed to the National Protection Army who was serving medicine to the people and asked, "Did anyone pay you for these medicines?"
Ye Chutang looked at the stingy Zhao Mingxu, sizing him up and down with a look of disgust.
"You scum, you are not even as good as a finger of the common people, what qualifications do you have to compete with them? If you want to live, pay the money, if you want to die, get out of the way!"
Although Zhao Mingxu was afraid of death, he felt that Ye Chutang would not ignore his life or death.
"If you don't give me medicine to drink, this plague will not be stopped!"
"When you die and your body is burned, the plague will naturally stop."
After scaring Zhao Mingxu, Ye Chutang entered the inn.
Zhao Mingxu knew very well that Ye Chutang would do anything to disregard the life and death of the Zhao family.
He hesitated for a long time but couldn't make up his mind, so he went to discuss it with his son.
It turned out that Zhao Qingshu was fooling around with Ye Siyin again.
He rubbed his temples with a headache and slammed the doors and windows.
"Qingshu, come out for a moment!"
Zhao Qingshu was very devoted and said impatiently, "Dad, wait a moment, it will be ready soon."
Zhao Mingxu was very angry as he thought about the life-and-death situation but his son was only thinking about his flesh and blood.
"You useless thing, you only last a quarter of an hour a day, get out of here!"
Zhao Qingshu was insulted and immediately wilted.
He got off Ye Siyin and said irritably, "Yin'er, don't leave. Wait until I come back."
What a quarter of an hour? He can do an hour!
Ye Siyin grabbed Zhao Qingshu's softness and played with it skillfully.
"Okay, I'll wait."
"Little goblin, stop making trouble."
Zhao Qingshu took a step back and avoided Ye Siyin's hand.
He put on his coat and quickly left the room.
Ye Siyin looked at Zhao Qingshu's back as he left, smiled, and pulled up the quilt to cover herself.
She touched her flat belly and said in a low voice, "You must be more courageous and help me have a child!"
Yes, she was sure she was pregnant!
The reason why the time Zhao Qingshu and her spent enjoying each other's company became shorter and shorter each time was because she had done something.
Once he reaches Dingzhou City, this man will become a eunuch!
If the Zhao family wants to pass on the family line, they have to keep her.
In this way, she wouldn't have to go to Linzhou City on the northwest border to suffer.
Zhao Qingshu didn't know that he had been poisoned by Ye Siyin.
He thought that he was unable to do it because he had been busy traveling recently and his health had deteriorated.
"Dad, why are you in such a hurry to call me out?"
Zhao Mingxu slapped Zhao Qingshu on the face and said angrily, "It's already this hour, can you control your lower body?"
Zhao Qingshu pressed the tip of his tongue against his swollen face, his eyelids drooping, hiding the coldness in his eyes.
"Dad, please tell me what you want to say."
"Ye Chutang said that if she wanted to save the Zhao family, she would have to pay five hundred taels per life."
"How much money do we have left?"
"At most, it won't be more than two thousand taels, and it can only save three people at most."
Ye Chutang had previously extorted 20,000 taels of silver from the Zhao family.
Five thousand taels for the time when Qi Hean was poisoned by the hornet, and fifteen thousand taels for the time when Zhao Qingshu caused Qi Hean to fall into the water, a total of twenty thousand taels.
Along the way, the expenses of the nine people in the Zhao family were not small.
Even if everyone's hidden possessions were gathered together, it would not save the nine lives of the Zhao family.
Zhao Qingshu suddenly thought of the previous hornet incident.
Aunt Jiang from the Ye family did not take the antidote at the time, but she survived.
He told this to Zhao Mingxu.
"Dad, Ye Chutang is trying to scare you. She won't stand by and watch someone die in order to make some money. Otherwise, her reputation as a 'living Buddha' will be ruined."
Zhao Mingxu thought this made sense, but he was still worried.
"Qingshu, the Zhao family and the Qi family are mortal enemies. Will she really save us? Will she deliberately let us get infected with the disease and kill people without anyone noticing?"
Zhao Qingshu had never expected this.
He felt that with Ye Chutang's viciousness, he was capable of doing such a thing.
"Dad, just in case, let's spend some money to buy peace."
He is still young and doesn't want to die so early!
Zhao Mingxu sighed and asked, "Qingshu, if you can only save three people, who do you think should be saved?"
He and his son must be rescued.
The last person can be the wife or the daughter.
Zhao Qingshu made a choice without any hesitation, "Save my mother."
Only as long as my mother is alive will my maternal grandparents help the Zhao family.
And the disfigured sister is of little use.
Zhao Mingxu loves Zhao Simin very much, otherwise he would not have allowed her to become so spoiled.
"Min'er is still young. Dad wants to save her. Please think of a way."
If there was extra money to save Zhao Simin, Zhao Qingshu would certainly be happy to do so.
Although my sister can't marry into a good family, she can be sent out to form a clique for personal gain!
"Dad, why don't you write a letter to the governor of Dingzhou and ask him to lend you some money?"
Although his family was imprisoned in Dingzhou, they had a salary and were able to repay the debt.
Zhao Mingxu thought this was a good idea and nodded.
"I'll try writing a letter, but I don't know if it can be delivered."
"Ye Chutang wants the money, and I won't stop him."
After Zhao Qingshu finished speaking, he returned to his room and continued what he had not done before.
Zhao Mingxu shook his head and went to his room.
At this time, Zhao Simin came out from the corner, with a cold murderous intent in his deep eyes.
She didn't expect to hear such a cruel conversation when she got up to go to the toilet at night.
Her own brother actually wanted her to die!
Her eyes fell on the room where the oil lamp was lit. She listened to the sounds of men and women making love, and her fists made crackling sounds.
She has to make a living for herself!
Zhao Simin thought that Ye Chutang had already fallen asleep, but Qi Yanzhou was still busy, and she immediately had an idea.
It’s not that she had never thought about getting married to Qi Yanzhou, but unfortunately, she didn’t find the opportunity during her exile.
I can’t wait any longer, I must give it a try tonight!
Zhao Simin did not go to the toilet. Instead, she left the cloth shop and went to the drugstore.
"I couldn't sleep and wanted to help."
Han Chong glanced at Zhao Simin and refused, "No need, Miss Zhao, please go back."
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong!
Zhao Simin's tears suddenly flowed down.
Silent tears are the most touching.
"I don't want to die. I want to help and get some medicine to drink. It's dangerous to deliver medicine to those seriously ill people. You can let me do it."
She cried like a pear blossom in the rain and spoke with all her heart, but no one was moved.
Han Chong said sternly: "Miss Zhao, don't hinder us from saving the people!"
There is not a single good person in the Zhao family.
He refused to drink the people's medicine!
Seeing Han Chong's firm attitude, Zhao Simin knew that it was useless to say more, so she turned around and left the pharmacy.
She did not return to the cloth shop, but went to look for Qi Yanzhou.
In front of the wine shop.
Qi Yanzhou and Zhao Meng confronted each other.
"Master Qi, give me the antidote for the plague and I will ensure that you leave Bingzhou safely. How do you think?"
"It doesn't matter. If you want the antidote, just do as my wife says."
After Qi Yanzhou finished speaking, he walked towards the pharmacy.
Zhao Meng was anxious and angry, having a severe headache and not knowing how to make a decision.
At this time, Zhao Simin walked out from the darkness.
"General Zhao, are you interested in making a deal with me?"
