I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times Chapter 85

"Xia Zhi, why are you standing here? What are you looking at?" Ling Chu came out of Lu Chengliu's house and saw that it was still early, so he went for a walk on the street.

It's just that I'm too weak, and I got tired after not walking for long. I was thinking about buying a carriage, but I accidentally found the maid from Xia Zhi hiding next to a small stall, staring at the Changle Casino not far away. tears.

Hearing Ling Chu's voice, Xia Zhi quickly wiped away her tears and walked over with red eyes, "Girl, I saw you haven't come back for a long time, and I was worried that something might happen to you, so I wanted to come out and look for you."

Ling Chu raised his eyebrows and came to Changlefang to find her?

“Then why are you standing here staring at the gambling house? Do you think I went to Changle Square to gamble?”

"No," Xia Zhi shook her head, "I went out to look for the girl and accidentally saw my second uncle. I saw him entering the house and asked the stall owner next to him, and then I found out that Changlefang was a gambling house."

 Second uncle?

If she remembered correctly, Xia Zhi seemed to have been sold to human traffickers by her second uncle?

“Is the second uncle you are talking about the same one who sold you to Boss Yao and that group of traffickers?”

Lingchu felt strange that Xia Zhi was betrayed by her second uncle. Shouldn't she hate him? Why did she hide and cry when she saw him?

Perhaps sensing her doubts, Xia Zhi nodded, "Yes, it was sold by my second uncle. I cried because I thought of my parents."

"By the way, I haven't had time to ask you yet, why did your second uncle want to sell you?"

“After my parents died, my second uncle wanted to occupy the property my parents left me. He originally wanted to marry me to a fifty-year-old widower from the next village.

I don't agree, but my uncle and aunt said that when a girl gets older, she will get married and have children, but I saw that the families they chose for me were either widowers older than my father, or people with physical disabilities. He didn't nod.

I objected several times. When my second uncle and the others stopped mentioning the matter, I thought they had given up. Later, my cousin invited me to their house to do embroidery work together, but unexpectedly I passed out after drinking a cup of tea.

When I woke up, I found out that my second uncle and the others had secretly put medicine in the tea, knocked me out, and sold me to Boss Yao and his gang. "

Thinking of her unscrupulous second uncle, Xia Zhi hated her so much, "After selling me, the property my parents left me must have been taken over by them. My second uncle is a gambler, and the things my parents left me must be taken away by them." , I'm afraid he will lose everything.”

Lingchu frowned. She really didn't expect that this maid's experience was no better than Liu Xiangju's.

Glancing at Changle Gambling House, Ling Chu asked Xia Zhi, "Do you want to get back the things your parents left for you?"

Xia Zhi wiped away her tears and said with gloomy eyes, "Of course I do. My parents are both dead. The thing they left me is their last thought. Of course I want to keep it for a long time."

"In that case, I'll get it for you." Now that Xia Zhi is hers, she can't just watch her being bullied and remain indifferent.

Xia Zhi didn't expect that Ling Chu would help her get back the inheritance. She was happy at first, and then discouraged, "Girl, forget it. My second uncle and second aunt are not good people. If the things in their hands come into their hands, they will not vomit again." from."

Her second uncle has a fierce temper, and no one in the village dares to provoke him.

Xia Zhi was worried that if Ling Chu went to help her ask for the family property, how would she be able to stand up to the girl if she was hurt by her second uncle and second aunt.

Lingchu guessed her worries, smiled, and patted her shoulder comfortingly, "Don't worry, I have a way to deal with your second uncle and the others. Let's go buy a carriage first."

Xia Zhi's home is outside the capital. If she had walked there, she might have fainted from exhaustion before she even got halfway there. In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, so one still had to buy a carriage to travel.

 After buying the carriage, he took Xia Zhi home to collect his property.

Her second uncle was a gambler, and Ling Chu was worried that if she left late, her second uncle would lose all the family property.

Ling Chu took Xia Zhi and went straight to Luoma Market.

 Wangjiazhuang outside Beijing.

At the head of the village, under a big tree with five people hugging each other, a group of village women were enjoying the cool air under the tree, doing embroidery work in their hands, and talking about gossip. A woman in a blue and white floral dress stopped what she was doing, put the embroidery needle on her head and wiped it, and suddenly asked the woman who was eating melon seeds next to her, "Mother Xinghua, why haven't you seen her lately?" That niece of yours?”

Ms. Liu stopped eating melon seeds and smiled unnaturally, "You said that girl from Xia Zhi, she's not at home."

The woman in colorful clothes was stunned, "Why aren't you at home? I haven't seen anyone for several days. Where have you been?"

Another round-faced lady also wondered, "You don't have many relatives who can walk around. Which family can you go to during the Summer Solstice and not come back for so many days?"

“Mother Xinghua, could it be that something happened to that girl from Xia Zhi?”

Mrs. Liu was cracking melon seeds and listening to the gossip with great interest, but she didn't expect Mrs. Gao, who was wearing floral clothes, to suddenly mention her niece Xia Zhi.

She didn't think much and just blurted out that she wasn't at home.

At this moment, everyone looked at me with strange expressions before they reacted, and they hurriedly said vaguely, "That girl from Xia Zhi is resting at home."

Mrs. Gao frowned. Why did she find Mr. Liu's attitude so strange when he mentioned the summer solstice?

 Sometimes she said she was not at home, and the next time she said she was resting at home.

 This Liu's speech was vague, and his eyes showed a guilty conscience.

 Could it be that something really happened to that girl in Xia Zhi?

 Remembering that Xia Zhi's mother had asked her to take care of Xia Zhi's girl when she was dying, Gao suddenly felt uneasy. After thinking for a while, he suddenly stood up, "I haven't seen Xia Zhi for a long time. Since she is at home, let me go and see her."

Liu's face changed, and she stood up in a panic and grabbed Gao's sleeve, "Don't go."

Seeing Gao turning around and looking at her with confusion, she suddenly realized that her reaction was wrong.

He hurriedly let go of his hand and forced a smile, "Mother Erzhu, there's nothing wrong with that girl Xia Zhi. She's just a little uncomfortable these days, but she'll be fine if she takes a rest, so you don't have to go and see her."

Mrs. Gao frowned. She had never visited Xia Zhi before, but Mr. Liu had never stopped her. How could this be so uncharacteristic?

"Is Xia Zhi sick? Then I have to see her. If it's serious, I need to see a doctor."

Mrs. Liu didn't expect that even though she said she didn't need to go see her, Mrs. Gao still wanted to go, so she blurted out anxiously, "This is our family's business, there's no need for you to meddle in it."

 When the summer solstice was mentioned, everyone just chatted casually and didn't pay much attention to it.

 But as soon as Mrs. Liu said this, everyone looked at her strangely.

Muttering in my heart, why is Mrs. Liu so weird when she mentions the Summer Solstice today?

Mrs. Gao just wanted to see her niece. Why did Mrs. Liu keep stopping her? She seemed to be trying her best to hide something.

Could it be that something really happened during Xia Zhi?

Seeing everyone looking at him suspiciously, Mr. Gao insisted on looking for Xia Zhi. Mrs. Liu was secretly annoyed, but she pretended to have a hard-to-speak expression on her face, "Xia Zhi, Xia Zhi, that girl got married."
