Whats on the line

Long Ju did not flinch under the gun that was pointed at her. She very calmly raised her brow and then looked at Mo Qiang without moving her head. It was her eyes that turned to glance at Mo Qiang, she then questioned, " Is Miss Qiang willing to go to prison? If not then you might as well ask your sister to drop her gun. Or else…" she trailed off, though Long Ju was just a merchant, she had dealings with the imperial family. 

If she was harmed then it wouldn't end so simply. 

Mo Xifeng might even get executed for hurting her. 

" Oh no one is going to the prison," Mo Qiang stated as she raised her hand and then pressed on Mo Xifeng's arm which was aimed at Long Ju and then motioned her to calm down. Though Mo Qiang understood her sister's feelings she could not let Mo Xifeng hurt Long Ju. It would turn the entire bet that she had arranged in her favour to go down.
