After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

Chapter 170 Xu Linzhi's Dream

The old princess had decided to lock them up because she was afraid that they would come out and cause trouble for Xu Qinghe's family.

But Qin was so angry because she lost so many old things and heard that her daughter was beaten in public. She quarreled with Xu Jinran in the yard all day long and succeeded in making him sick.

The old princess would never let go of this opportunity easily, so she immediately sent someone to inform the Marquis of Pingnan’s mansion.

It is said that Qin is extremely bold. Not only does she dare to talk back to her elders many times and disrespect her mother-in-law, but now she is causing trouble and causing her husband to fall ill. The Ning Wang Mansion cannot tolerate such a big Buddha, so they asked them to send someone to take their daughter back.

This incident caused quite a stir at the time and attracted a lot of onlookers. How could the Ping'an Marquis's Mansion dare to take home a girl with such a bad reputation? They said they would take her back to live with them for a few days, but in reality, wasn't they just divorcing her and sending her back to her parents' home?

Even Qin's biological mother did not dare to take the initiative to take her back at this time.

Although she felt sorry for her daughter, she had no choice but to go to the palace in person to apologize, and said that since Qin had married into Prince Ning's mansion, there was no reason for her to return to her parents' home.

Anyway, everything is decided by the old princess, and they, the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, will not care about this spilled water.

Anyway, it was her own fault, so she should just stay in the yard and take good care of Xu Jinran. She is not allowed to leave the yard until Xu Jinran recovers.

As a result, Qin and Xu Jinran were locked up in this prison for several months. All day long, either you complained that I was incompetent, or I thought you were holding us back, and the third room was in chaos with quarrels.

As for Xu Letie, who had been under house arrest for a long time, he was only fed with a bowl of bland soup every day.

Whenever the old princess thought about how Xu Letie was raised with great pampering in the Ning Wang Mansion over the years, while her granddaughter Yuxiu had to suffer from the beatings and abuses of the old woman in the Xu family, she wanted to pick up a whip and give Xu Letie a good beating.

Xu Letie had never suffered such hardship in her life, and she couldn't bear it after being hungry for several days.

She secretly sent someone to the Pingnan Marquis Mansion to ask her grandmother for help. However, although Madam Qin loved her granddaughter, she did not dare to interfere in other people's family affairs at this time. She could only ask the maid to come and bring some food and drinks from time to time, and she dared not say anything else.

Princess Ning and the Second Lady were a little surprised to see that the old lady had been making the third family suffer recently, but the old princess directly brought out the evidence that Qin had tampered with the medicine given to her.

Although Princess Ning and the Second Lady knew that the people from the Third House were unreliable, they had never thought that they would have the courage to poison their own mother, and they were immediately shocked by this evidence.

Fortunately, God blesses the old lady and she is blessed with good fortune. Otherwise, if the old lady was poisoned in the mansion, they would not be able to escape responsibility.

By this calculation, the punishment received by the people in the third room was still too light.

The reason why the old princess chose not to make this matter public for the time being was because she took into consideration that there was no man in charge of the Ning Palace in the capital, so she didn't want to cause any big trouble at this time.

After waiting for a long time until dark, Yuxiu took advantage of the system's cover and smoothly arrived at the yard where Xu Linzhi was.

It was probably around nine o'clock in modern times. Because the temperature in the capital was very low, Xu Linzhi's family had only been here for a few days and were not used to the environment here, so they ate early and stayed in the house.

"Zhi'er, do we really have to take out all the money and exchange it for food?"

Xu Qingrong frowned and reluctantly confirmed with his daughter again:

"Master Guan only gave us 1,000 taels of silver. Although it sounds like a lot, you have spent a lot these days. If you use all of it to buy food, I'm afraid we will have to go back to a life of eating coarse grains and vegetables again."

When everyone in the Xu family heard that they were going to have to go back to a life of eating coarse grains and vegetables, everyone couldn't help but look up, including Xu Linzhi herself, who couldn't help but shudder.

They have finally had a few days of good life. If they were forced to go back to the hard life they had before, it would be more painful than killing them.

But the things at hand are also very important.

Xu Linzhi frowned and pondered for a while before raising her head and looking firmly at the Xu family members in the room.

"Mom, Dad, and my brothers, I've had nightmares about a snowstorm for two days in a row. If we don't buy food quickly, we'll starve to death when it really snows. We haven't prepared anything."

Although she lowered her voice, Yuxiu who was hiding outside the window could still hear it clearly.

Is it going to snow?

Yuxiu was a little anxious, so she quickly put her ear closer to the person in the room so that she could hear clearly what he said next.

"There's no need to buy so much food. If it snows heavily, people will probably freeze to death. We still need to buy some thick quilts and charcoal."

Seeing that his daughter was serious, Xu Qingrong had to take it seriously. However, he had been the village chief for so many years after all, and his experience and knowledge were definitely much richer than that of Xu Linzhi, a teenage girl.

"Starting tomorrow, we will split up and try to buy as much food and charcoal as possible. If the prices of these things go up, we can sell the extra items at a high price. As long as we survive this winter, I believe our Xu family will make a lot of money."

There was endless greed and excitement in Xu Qingrong's eyes. Although they had just arrived in the capital, they were already deeply attracted by these prosperous days.

In a small and shabby village like Xujiacun, even if his family was considered wealthy in the village, it was only enough to feed a few people in the family. There was no way they could live comfortably like in the capital.

"Then we will all listen to our father and sister and go out to buy food early tomorrow morning."

"Yes, yes, yes. When everyone is hungry and cold, we will take those things out and sell them for a good price..."

"No wonder they say old ginger is wiser. Dad really thinks more comprehensively than us young ones..."

Xu Linzhi's brothers were all very supportive. When they heard that they could make a lot of money, they all started to get ready. They wished the night would pass immediately so that they could go out and show their skills.

"When you go shopping, be quiet and don't let others find out. Otherwise, I won't make any money, and I won't be able to find you wives..."

Seeing that the brothers were very excited, Xu Qinghe knocked on the table with the pipe in his hand and warned them with a cold face.

"Dad, if you want to make money from grain, then we probably won't be able to buy much with the few hundred taels of silver we have."
