The Wealthy Eldest Sister Rules Supreme

With her strength and agility, this thing can be used as a makeshift hidden weapon.

Zhuang Qingning held her breath, waiting for the person to uplift the curtain, so she could launch a surprise attack.

Even fearing that the thief might ditch Shi Bao and escape by carriage, she prepared to jump out of the carriage at any moment.

Just as Zhuang Qingning was getting prepared, waiting for the moment to handle the situation based on their actions, she started to feel dizzy and her consciousness started to blur.

The bewitching., fragrance….

Zhuang Qingning regretted her carelessness, but when she realized it, she couldn’t control her awareness and closed her eyes in despair.

When she woke up, she was already here.

Obviously, she was in a carriage travelling hurriedly, although she couldn’t clearly see what’s inside, but she could vaguely tell there were several women who had fallen asleep.

It seemed she wasn’t the only one who suffered tonight.

But why were they still unconscious while she was already completely awake?

Was it because she inhaled less or was her physical constitution different from others?

[Neither.]

[It’s because I took the initiative to use the host’s diligence value to customize an awakening medicine in the mall, and the host woke up after taking it.]

Huh?

Wait a minute…

So you’re saying, you, the system, can freely use my diligence values?

In that case, wouldn’t my diligence values be unsafe!

[Hey, hey, hey, my lovely host, is this the right time to focus on this issue?]

But this is an important issue!

What if you become upset in the future and use my diligence values at will, then wouldn’t my hard work be in vain?

[_-||]

[I really don’t know whether I should consider myself lucky or unlucky to have a host who still cares about diligence values at this critical time.]

[Ahem, rest assured, the system does have the power to use the host’s diligence value, but this power can only be refreshed after a long time, and the host can even set the refresh time.]

[The reason for this is to prevent the host from encountering situations like just now. The system can switch to emergency self-preservation mode to ensure the safety of the host and the system.]

[So, this is totally for the safety of the host, you don’t have to worry.]

Well, the system is very complete, it even thought of this.

However, it’s still a bit painful to lose 999 diligence values.

Although currently running several workshops, shops and so on, the rate of earning diligence values is much faster than initially, but these 999 diligence values still took more than ten days to accumulate. Moreover, various formulae are much more expensive now, and Zhuang Qingning also wanted to exchange for more practical things that didn’t exist in this world, in addition to preparing a certain amount of diligence values for emergencies.

So these diligence values are like wages in modern society, accumulating slowly like a snail, and you always feel that they are not enough to spend.

[It was also for saving the host, and after all, isn’t life more important than diligence values?]

[Host, you should think more openly. These diligence values are also going to be spent sooner or later, so…]

[And they were spent on the host.]

[Don’t you think so…]

(…]

[Okay, okay, I will give you a discount for the spent diligence value.]

[Your next item to be exchanged will also get a discount!]

[Both at a discount! Is that okay…]

Deal.

Zhuang Qingning took the offer, agreeing readily.

Suddenly, a certain creature fell quiet.

Why does it feel like it’s been taken advantage of by the host?

But well… even if it was cheated by its own selected host, it would have to continue spoiling the host…

[Ahem, dear host, you should be thinking about how to escape from here.] [Although the host really sets a good example by being focused, don’t we need to be a bit more realistic? You should look at the situation we are currently in.]

Getting away is a priority.

However, it seems not to be an easy task.

Although she was awake now, her hands and feet were firmly tied with hemp rope and she couldn’t move at all. The women around her were lying unconscious, and in order to prevent escapes, the windows of the carriage were sealed.

If she chose to escape directly from the carriage door, she wasn’t sure how many men were outside or what the situation was like. She didn’t know if she could defeat them all.

More importantly, the women who had been kidnapped, should she save them now or ensure her own survival first and then find a way to rescue them after escaping?

While Zhuang Qingning was thinking, there was a sudden neigh from the horse and the carriage slowly stopped.

“Niu Wu what are you doing? You suddenly stopped the carriage, almost made me fall.”

“Wasn’t I getting a sudden urge to pee, Brother Dachuan wait for me for a while, I’ll be back soon.”

“Why are you running so far for that? It’s late at night and nobody’s around, just do it quickly by the side of the road and hurry up, we have to reach our destination before dawn, otherwise, it will be difficult to escape.

“I know, don’t worry. But Brother Dachuan, our boss and the other three, do you think they can catch up with us later? Should we wait for them if they are late?”

“They won’t be that slow. Looking at the situation, we should be able to catch up with them in half an hour. The boss has more goods than us, he can’t delay.” “Really, the boss is the boss, following the boss to do these things, we never fail.”

“Isn’t that? Who is the boss? To listen to the boss, there won’t be any error. The key is to be steady, accurate and ruthless. You can’t accomplish anything if you dawdle. You have to be quick and run fast, so the other party won’t have a chance to find us.”

“We have to earn a lot of silver from this, enough to buy some land, marry a beautiful wife. After that, we’ll lead a carefree life.”

“Why bother spending that money? Just pick someone you like and take her back, isn’t that enough? I think there are a few good-looking ones among the cargos we have now, aren’t they better than those ugly girls in the village?

“You don’t understand. These abducted girls always want to go home and they are always making noise, how can we live with that?”

“So, you’re the one who doesn’t understand. So what if they are abducted? If they don’t obey, slap them. Starve them for a couple of meals, then see if they behave. Hey, women, at first they resist, but once they become your people, give birth to a few children, and then their hearts are tied. You can even let them escape, they won’t leave. Even if you chase them away, they won’t leave.”

Ah, let me clarify one thing. The spat between Ning and someone just now is purely to liven up the atmosphere, and it’s just their daily bickering…

This…. I’m not really morally depraved-_-||
