Chapter 191 The Antidote?
In the end, Cao Qimei, despite her heartache, handed over almost all the silver notes she had brought to Feng Bingkun in exchange for his caravan taking them to the Yuan family in Yuanguang Town.
For the remaining amount, Cao Qimei even used jewelry to offset the difference, which meant she lost everything.
Because the price she paid was too high, Cao Qimei couldn't help but vomit several mouthfuls of blood and almost fainted.
She received a message from her granddaughter Yuan Yutong, informing her that her daughter Tian Jiao'e had an accident and fallen into a coma, handing over the reins of the Yuan family to a despicable woman. Moreover, that despicable woman was favored by Yuan Ruying, posing a great threat to both Tian Jiao'e and Yuan Yutong, and affecting the supply of benefits that the Yuan family provided to the Tian family. This made Cao Qimei and the rest of the Tian family very angry and worried, and they could not stand idly by.
This matter concerns whether the Tian family can continue to benefit from the Yuan family and act in the Yuan family's name in the future. It is of great importance, and Cao Qimei and the others had no choice but to intervene.
It was precisely because of this that Cao Qimei and the Tian family members rushed to Yuanguang Town, hoping to help their daughter Tian Jiao'e in the Yuan family, to prevent Tian Jiao'e and Yuan Yutong from losing power in the Yuan family, and to prevent the Yuan family's power from falling completely into Luo Qingqing's hands.
The Tian family has not been doing well in recent years. They often have to rely on Tian Jiao'e's secret subsidies and assistance to maintain their dignity and allow them to live a relatively prosperous life.
If something really happens to Tian Jiao'e this time, and she loses control of the Yuan family and completely loses power along with Yuan Yutong, then the losses for the Tian family may be even greater.
To avoid such a terrible situation and for the sake of the Tian family's interests, Cao Qimei and her group rushed to the Yuan family in Yuanguang Town, hoping to be able to help in time.
At the very least, Cao Qimei hoped to be able to help at such a crucial moment, to become a support for Yuan Yutong and Yuan Zhiman, to fight against Luo Qingqing and Yuan Ruying, and to help Yuan Yutong and Yuan Zhiman gain a firm foothold in the Yuan family and seize more power.
At that time, Yuan Yutong and Yuan Zhiman will have no choice but to rely on them, and naturally they will need to rely more on the Tian family. In that case, the Tian family will naturally be able to continue to get all kinds of benefits from the Yuan family.
Having considered so many factors, Cao Qimei and her group decided to take a shortcut, cross this forest, and hurry to the Yuan family's place in Yuanguang Town.
Once they reach the Yuan family in Yuanguang Town, with so many of them, they will definitely not suffer a loss against a bitch like Luo Qingqing.
In addition, Cao Qimei also knew Yuan Ruying very well, knowing that Yuan Ruying was a person who valued face very much, which was enough for Cao Qimei and her group to scheme and take advantage of.
Yuan Ruying cares so much about her own face and the face of the Yuan family that she dares not say or do anything to relatives like them. That would be more conducive to their actions and would be enough for them to tear a big chunk of flesh from Yuan Ruying and Luo Qingqing!
Cao Qimei and her group had already made arrangements for their trip to the Yuan family to showcase their skills; they were just waiting to get there and put their abilities to the test.
It was because they were too anxious that Cao Qimei and the others chose to take this shortcut, only to step into a snake pit. They were all bitten by venomous snakes and found themselves in a life-or-death situation. The situation was critical, with only Cao Qimei remaining conscious, but her condition was also very bad.
Now, they've encountered Feng Bingkun's caravan, and the caravan has agreed to take them to the Yuan family in Yuanguang Town, which is a great help to them.
The price for giving someone away, three hundred taels of silver per person, is really too expensive!
Feng Bingkun is deliberately taking advantage of her misfortune, showing her no respect whatsoever and disregarding the Tian family!
Even the reputation of the Yuan family in Yuanguang Town seemed insignificant to Feng Bingkun, who wouldn't give them any face.
Faced with Feng Bingkun like this, Cao Qimei had nothing to offer to intimidate him or make him lower the price. She still had to pay according to Feng Bingkun's demands and settle the money on the spot, leaving them no chance to delay.
Having encountered Feng Bingkun, Cao Qimei had very mixed feelings. She was unwilling and dissatisfied with the high price he was asking for, but she was also relieved that they still had a chance to be rescued.
If they hadn't encountered Feng Bingkun's caravan, they might have all perished here.
Although she was extremely dissatisfied with Feng Bingkun and felt particularly pained by giving away so many silver notes, Cao Qimei dared not show it anymore. She had to put on a brave face to avoid further angering Feng Bingkun, who might then take the opportunity to raise the price or simply leave them to die on the spot.
The reason Feng Bingkun looked so regretful just now was because he felt that he had agreed directly, given the silver notes, and had no objections, which prevented him from raising the price further.
This is truly a greedy and unscrupulous businessman who has been scheming against her and the Tian family all along, without feeling the slightest bit ashamed.
Feng Bingkun, with his life in his hands, kept exploiting their vulnerability after being poisoned, forcing them to pay such a high price.
Just from this trip to take them to the Yuan family in Yuanguang Town, Feng Bingkun earned a lot of money, which was definitely more than he could earn traveling all over the country selling goods!
At this moment, seeing the caravan members roughly lifting the Tian family members onto flatbed carts, preparing to drag them to Yuanguang Town like corpses and hand them over to the Yuan family, Cao Qimei could only dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
She was really worried that if she said another word, Feng Bingkun would take the opportunity to add more money!
This is a cunning merchant with low moral standards who only cares about money. Given that she is currently at a disadvantage, Cao Qimei is not prepared to confront him directly, lest she fall into his trap and continue to lose money.
Feng Bingkun, watching Cao Qimei's heart-wrenching pain as if it had been ripped out, yet she had to force herself to endure it, rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Madam Tian, how about it? I still have some medicine here that can cure snake venom. Would you like to buy some and give it to them all?"
"I just checked, and their situation is very bad. They might not even make it to the Yuan family in Yuanguang Town. Shouldn't Old Madam Tian reconsider, lest she miss this opportunity and regret it later?"
"Please rest assured, Madam Tian, the antidote I can provide is truly effective. It's not just some random trick to swindle people. After using my antidote, they should be able to regain their senses."
