Chapter 141: Her sister Zhuo Ning is still taller!

"What? You want me to get the antidote to save that tigress?"

When Song Yuqiu heard what Xie Zhuoning said, her eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.

"Matricide is a serious crime and will be punished by death." Xie Zhuoning calmly explained the pros and cons to her.

It is not a wise thing to risk your life for someone you hate.

"Is she just going to get it for free?" Song Yuqiu frowned, feeling unwilling.

"Who said she got it for free?" Xie Zhuoning whispered softly in her ear with a slight smile on his face.

"That's right!" Song Yuqiu's eyes lit up and he immediately understood.

Sister Zhuoning was quick-witted and came up with an idea in the blink of an eye.

"Dad," Song Yuqiu looked at Minister Song and raised his voice, "Do you really want the antidote?"

"Of course! If you give me the antidote immediately, I will forgive you for what happened!"

Hearing Song Yuqiu relax, Minister Song suddenly felt that there was a way and hurriedly continued to coax her.

"Dad, you just let her go like that?" Song Yuyao was a little dissatisfied.

But Minister Song glared at him fiercely, "Shut up!"

Is now the time to think about these things?

The most important thing now is to trick the antidote out of Song Yuqiu's hands first, and then settle the score later after saving the person!

Song Yuyao was scolded and looked aggrieved.

Minister Song ignored her and forced a smile, "Then the antidote..."

"I don't have the antidote." Song Yuqiu said as a matter of course.

Minister Song's expression changed, his eyes were sharp and sinister, as if he wanted to eat someone, "How dare you play tricks on me?"

Seeing this, Song Yuyao immediately accused him in a condescending manner, "Song Yuqiu, is this the attitude you use when talking to your father? If your father hadn't brought you back, would you have the luxurious life you have now, or even the chance to marry a marquis? Don't dream! Now I just asked you for an antidote and you're making excuses. I've never seen anyone as ungrateful as you!"

Song Yuqiu sneered, "That sounds nice, but didn't you bring me back in the first place just to let me marry into the Duke of Zheng's mansion for you and serve as a medicine for that idiot in his family?"

I have never met anyone as ungrateful as her...

She had never seen anyone as shameless as them!

If her body didn't allow it, she would have rushed over to pull Song Yuyao's hair.

Minister Song was shocked, "You know everything..."

"If you don't want people to know, then don't do it." Song Yuqiu raised his eyelids, his face full of indifference and his eyes full of mockery.

"But I'm not as shameless as you. I have the antidote but I won't give it to you. I really don't have the antidote, but others do. Go to Liuxiang in the West Market and find a man named Liu Yidao. He will sell the antidote to you."

Song Yuyao was not convinced. "You were the one who poisoned me. Why do you want us to buy the antidote? If anyone wants to buy it, you should go and buy it!"

"Okay," Song Yuqiu agreed readily, "but I have to be frank first. I can't move around easily now. I have to wait until I recover from my injuries before I can go out, right? And I don't have any money, and the antidote is expensive. I have to save money for at least ten or eight years to be able to afford it, right?"

"But your mother will die in three days if she is poisoned by the needle. Today is already the second day. If she doesn't take the antidote before tomorrow night, she will definitely die. Can you afford to wait?"

When Minister Song and Song Yuyao heard this, they didn't bother to find fault with her anymore and left in a hurry.

"It's cold at night, let's go inside," said Xie Zhuoning.

After entering the house, Song Yuqiu asked the question in her mind, "Sister Zhuo Ning, why don't we sell the medicine directly to Song Jian? Why does he have to find someone to buy it from?"

Xie Zhuoning poured a cup of tea, sipped it carefully, and spoke slowly, "If you say you have the antidote, Song Jian will definitely use his parents' orders to force you to give it to him. If you don't give it to him, it would be unfilial."

If this gets out, she will be drowned in the spit of people all over the world.

But it would be much easier if Song Jian could find someone else to buy it from.

Since it's a life-saving medicine, it should be more expensive, right?

It is said that a clean magistrate can get 100,000 taels of silver for three years. After all, he is a third-rank minister of the Ministry of Works. It is not too much to ask him for 200,000 taels of silver, right?

On the surface, Liu Yidao is a medicinal herb merchant in Xishi, but in reality he is Murong Yan's right-hand man.

The two hundred thousand taels of silver will go around in circles and eventually return to their hands.

"But what if he thinks it's too expensive and doesn't buy it?" Song Yuqiu was a little worried.

After all, two hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. Even if Song Jian could come up with it, he would probably have to go bankrupt.

What's more, she was the one who poisoned the person. Now that the person was dead, Song Jian could naturally push the blame onto her and get himself out of the blame naturally.

"What's the hurry?" Xie Zhuoning smiled and winked at her. "Do you know why your father abandoned his wife and daughter?"

Song Yuqiu sneered, "You want to climb the ladder."

"That's right. When he passed the imperial examination, he was spotted by Sun Ge Lao, who was looking for a son-in-law. In order to get Sun Ge Lao's help, he lied that he was still unmarried, and then Sun Ge Lao married his daughter to her."

Grandpa Sun Ge had a daughter at an old age and loved her very much. Naturally, he wanted to do everything he could to support his son-in-law.

Otherwise, with Song Jian's ability, how could he have been appointed as the Minister of Works?

Although Sun Ge Lao has retired now, many of his descendants are officials in the court, and there are also many high-ranking officials among Sun Ge Lao's students.

Song Jian was quite respectful and wary of his father-in-law, otherwise why would he not even dare to take a concubine when Madam Song had only given birth to one daughter in all these years?

If Mrs. Song hadn't been unwilling to see her daughter marry a fool, he probably wouldn't even dare to tell anyone about Song Yuqiu's existence.

"What do you think would happen if we sent someone to tell Elder Sun that his daughter was poisoned and had only one day to live, but Minister Song refused to spend money to buy an antidote to save his wife?"

Song Yuqiu clapped his legs and laughed, "Then Elder Sun Ge will have to rush to the Song residence and beat Song Jian's face!"

When it comes to raising the banner of public opinion and seizing the moral high ground, it is still her sister Zhuo Ning who is higher!

The facts are as expected.

After Minister Song received the news, he immediately rushed to Liuxiang in West Market and found Liu Yidao.

But I didn't expect him to ask for so much, two hundred thousand!

And no matter how he talked, threatened or lured, the other party refused to give in.

He could only go back home, thinking about a solution along the way.

As a result, while I was still halfway there, I heard someone from the Sun family coming.

He hurried back home, and saw the white-haired old Sun Ge sitting at the first seat with a dignified manner. The first words he said were -

"Where's the antidote?"

Minister Song was stunned. He was not sure how much Elder Sun Ge knew, so he asked cautiously, "I wonder what the antidote that my father-in-law mentioned is..."

Sun Ge's eyes were gloomy. "The antidote to save my daughter naturally! Didn't you go buy the antidote? Where is the antidote?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Minister Song hurriedly explained, "Father-in-law, it's not that I don't want to buy the antidote, it's just that the antidote is too expensive, and I really can't afford that much money..."

"Song Jian!" Sun Ge shouted angrily, "They said you were unwilling to spend money to save my daughter, and I refused to believe it. I didn't expect it to be true!"

He didn't even plan or put in any effort, but just found reasons to give up. He is really a good son-in-law to himself!

Minister Song was shocked.

He had just returned from Liuxiang in West Market when the Sun family had already received the news and rushed to the Song Mansion. Who on earth spread the news?
