Chapter 227 A good idea to kill two birds with one stone
"Stop talking nonsense here and quickly carry the things into the house and put them away."
Xu Qingrong scolded his sons, "What bastards! It's already this late and they are still making a lot of noise here. Are they afraid that people outside can't hear their anxiety?"
The brothers of the Xu family were still afraid of this old man from the bottom of their hearts, so they did not dare to delay here. They ran back and forth several times and finally moved the things into the house with great effort.
"These things are too eye-catching. I don't know whether that person did it intentionally or unintentionally. To do this to us in public is really putting us in a difficult position."
Xu Qingrong frowned. Although these gold, silver and jewelry were very good, once they entered their house, they suddenly became a hot potato. He didn't know what to do.
If this had happened in the past, Xu Lingzhi would never have thought that the man did it on purpose. On the contrary, she would have tried every means to speak well of him.
But after living a lifetime, she saw it very clearly.
"They are angry that we spread the news, so they came up with this idea and want to make our family live in turmoil."
Xu Linzhi curled her lips. That man's mind was truly sinister and vicious.
Now she thought that the man in her previous life treated her gently, and all he wanted was to use her to win over Xu Qinghe, who had become a general. Later, when the general was gone, she, the so-called little chess piece, was no longer of any use.
In the past few days, Xu Linzhi and his family have almost found out the situation in the court. They know that Crown Prince Qi Siyuan is still alive and well, and the second prince is always the second prince and has not yet become the crown prince.
It has to be said that Xu Linzhi felt secretly happy when she heard the news.
In his previous life, that person stepped on his own royal brother to get to the throne. Now that the prince is fine this time, he may never be able to get access to that position.
Although Xu Linzhi didn't know what went wrong that caused the situation to be so different from her previous life, it still helped her vent her anger.
"It's not a good idea to keep these good things at home. Maybe there are a lot of people outside who are eyeing our house. I guess starting from tonight, someone will sneak in in the middle of the night..."
Xu Qingrong paced back and forth in the room anxiously. His mind was now filled with gold and silver. He walked back and forth many times but still couldn't think of a suitable solution.
"Dad, please sit down first. I have a good idea."
Xu Linzhi rolled her eyes. At this moment, she could still feel the helplessness of being choked to death by the water. The hatred in her heart was like an overwhelming sea.
"Dad, have you forgotten? We ran into an old acquaintance in Maple Leaf Lane before. Now we have nowhere to go, so why not leave these good things at his house first?"
Although Xu Linzhi hated the second prince a little, she hated Xu Qinghe the most.
If it weren't for him in my previous life, I might have relied on that money to marry an ordinary person peacefully. In this capital city, even an ordinary person could have lived a good life.
But Xu Qinghe had already become a general, yet he was poisoned to death. He was so stupid.
If he had been smarter, he wouldn't have been killed so early. Then I might have been useful all along. If I had become the queen, how glorious it would have been...
Later, all of this came to nothing, and I even died because of his involvement. If I don't blame him, who else can I blame?
So at this moment, Xu Linzhi hated Xu Qinghe, her adoptive father in her previous life, to the core.
"You mean...Xu Qinghe?"
Xu Qingrong was a little hesitant. When they met before, the man's look at him was not friendly.
"I'm afraid he won't agree so easily, right?"
Xu Qingrong didn't want to see Xu Qinghe from the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't explain the specific reason.
"Then let's make a deal with him and just keep it with him for a while. At most, we can give him some of the benefits when the time comes."
Xu Linzhi's eyes flashed. If they didn't send some of these things away, not only would they not be able to keep them, but the lives of several members of their family might be in danger.
"Then...what if it's lost at his house?"
Xu Qingrong was still somewhat reluctant, but he couldn't think of a better solution.
"Lost it at his house?"
Xu Linzhi muttered something and suddenly couldn't help laughing.
"Wouldn't it be better if it was lost at his house? Anyway, we gave all our things to them for safekeeping. If the things are lost, naturally he should be responsible for compensation..."
This is a good idea. Xu Linzhi suddenly thought that if someone killed Xu Qinghe because of these things, she would be willing to do so even if she could not get them back.
Xu Qingrong finally reacted and praised this idea, saying that not only could he find a suitable place to put this hot potato, but he might also be able to trick Xu Qinghe. It really was killing two birds with one stone!
"In that case, let's send the things over as soon as possible without further delay."
The matter was settled, and Xu Qingrong arranged for his sons to act separately.
Some people went to look for a carriage, while others went to find out whether Xu Qinghe was in the same yard as before.
It was a coincidence, because a batch of high-quality medicinal materials were delivered recently. Thinking that this place was not far from the Xu family, and the key was that there were quite a lot of empty houses, Uncle Cui took the initiative to put them here and move them when needed.
When I met Xu Qingrong's family before, it was Xu Qinghe and Uncle Cui who came to see the house.
A few people moved out the few pieces of furniture in the room, clearing out several large rooms, preparing to store the medicinal materials separately when the time comes.
When the second elder brother of the Xu family ran over to inquire about the situation, he happened to see Xu Qinghe with his sleeves rolled up, helping the servants carry baskets of medicinal herbs on the carriage.
Just looking at his attire, Brother Xu felt a pang in his heart. He looked down at his old cotton-padded jacket and looked at Xu Qinghe with hatred in his eyes.
Why?
It is extremely difficult for his family to live a good life. Look at him, he used to be a weakling in the Xu family, but now he lives a life of luxury.
Second Brother Xu ran back in anger and told them what had happened. Just then, First Brother Xu came back with several horse-drawn carriages. So they quickly locked the box and carefully lifted it onto the carriage.
Someone nearby asked if they were going to move away, and Xu Qingrong didn't shy away from saying that his house was too small to store these things, so he would send them to a fellow villager's house to keep them for a few days.
