Chapter 446: If We Don

Ji Xue wants money, but she cares more about her own life.

The younger man, hearing Ji Xue say that, squinted and said, "You can't provoke Qiao Sheng; can you provoke our master?"

Ji Xue's face turned pale instantly.

The older man cleared his throat and said, "A Yang, speak properly."

The younger man replied to him.

"Zhong Shu, I'd like to talk properly with this woman, but will she listen?"

"I'm doing this for her benefit, aren't I? Our master is uneasy, and it's her who gets dealt with, not me."

Deal with her…

How should we deal with her!

Ji Xue clutched the child in her arms and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

The older man smiled broadly and said, "It's simple: just slip something into the water Qiao Sheng drinks. Once we succeed, our master will not only refrain from harming you, but will also be especially grateful."

You don't intend to have her poison him, right?

Like that.

Can she survive?

Ji Xue stammered, "What, what should we put in?"

The older man pulled a paper packet from his bosom, placed it before Ji Xue, and said, "This is an abortifacient, colorless and odorless. If you can manage it, our master guarantees he won't mistreat you."

What, an abortifacient!

Qiao Sheng is pregnant?

Ji Xue snapped back and said, "I can't do that. I haven't seen Qiao Sheng in a long time. She's always surrounded by people now; even if I saw her, I might not be able to administer the medicine. So don't make things hard for me."

"If we don't trouble you, then we can only trouble your husband."

The older man said lightly, as if discussing what to eat at noon.

Although Ji Xue doesn't particularly like Li Tufu, he truly treats her well, and they even have a child together.

"No, don't."

"Then do as we say."

The older man left the money and the paper packet, and called the younger man to leave their house.

Watching their backs as they walked away.

Ji Xue's gaze fell on the silver notes and the paper packet beside her, and she pinched herself hard.

To make sure she wasn't dreaming.

Ji Xue hurriedly set the child down and went to close the door.

Close the door properly.

Ji Xue hesitated, counted the money, seeing a full two thousand taels of silver notes. She felt a bit tempted, but recalling what they asked her to do, she also felt some fear.

If Qiao Sheng finds out.

She is so fierce; she definitely wouldn't let her go.

What to do then?

But if I don't do it.

If we deal with Qiao Sheng, how can we not punish his whole family?

Ji Xue didn't know what to do for a moment.

She thought over and over.

A thought emerged: take the money and leave the Imperial Capital, then return after some days.

Li Tufu is an upright person.

If she tells him about this.

Would he agree to let them leave the Imperial Capital with her and the child?

He certainly wouldn't agree; he might even drag her and tell his own elder brother about it.

Thinking that.

Ji Xue abandoned that plan.

Not long after.

Ji Xue then thought of what to do: she would leave the Imperial Capital alone, taking the money and the child.

She thought so.

Ji Xue did just that.

She didn't expect Feng An Nuan to have anticipated her move, and had placed men outside every city gate.

Ji Xue not only couldn't escape, but was also beaten.

The child was snatched away.

Ji Xue saw one of them carrying her son toward a side carriage, panicked, "What are you doing? Give the child back to me!"
