11 Picking
Xu Baixing is actually ninety percent sure, the person in front of him is Xu Lingfu, but it is not good to speak bluntly in front of the county order, but now he heard Cui Yuanting say that this is his life-saving benefactor, but he never imagined.
He pursed his lips and choked for a moment.
Lingfu praised in his heart: Lord County Commander, righteousness!
From the beginning of the second hall roll call, Cui Yuanting was stuck with Xu Baixing intentionally or unintentionally. She knew that it was impossible for her identity to conceal it, and sooner or later she would have to encounter this despicable uncle, but Cui Yuanting's repeated hidden sharp questions had already poked Xu Baixing's heart, and what she didn't expect was that Cui Yuanting said her identity to his face as his benefactor.
The clarity of this relationship will play a great role in the future, and Xu Baixing may not be able to help her easily for a while.
"Lingfu."
Xu Lingfu was stunned and looked at Cui Yuanting.
This was the first time he had called her like this, obviously to Xu Baixing.
"The county honor, please command." Lingfu jaw head.
"Let the two messengers accompany you home to tell you that you are safe." Cui Yuanting said like a friend.
Lingfu said: "Yes." ”
When the Lingfu Fang came out of the yamen, Xu Baixing immediately caught up with her and asked urgently: "Lingfu, what's going on?" ”
Lingfu stood still, and the two messengers who accompanied her also stood still. An errand officer said quickly: "Brother Xu, do you know each other?" ”
Xu Baixing glanced at the Lingfu and motioned for her to let the two servants avoid it.
Of course, Lingfu ignored it and said directly: "Xu Sihu, is there something wrong?" ”
Xu Sihu shook his eyebrows: What does it mean that the dead girl deliberately is commensurate with her position?
Lingfu rolled his eyes: Of course, it means to draw a clear relationship with you.
To deal with Xu Baixing, Lingfu was too lazy to say a word. Xu Baixing saw that she refused to go to the road, so he had to say to the two messengers: "You guys avoid it, I have something to say to her." ”
The yamen servants all knew that Xu Baixing had his back on Jiang Xiancheng, and he had always had some "forces", and he was a character that these officers were not easy to offend, so they retreated far away when they heard him say so.
Xu Baixing looked at the Lingfu and saw that she was neither humble nor arrogant, and her expression was indifferent, and she was like the cowardice when she saw her at home a few days ago.
But he underestimated this niece!
He suppressed the irritation in his heart and said with a dry smile: "Lingfu, what's going on?" Why did you come out of the house, making your uncle even worried, how did you get together with Cui Xianling? ”
Lingfu looked at Xu Baixing's smiling face, and felt disgusted in his heart.
She was an orphan before the crossing and grew up in a welfare home. Going to school, going to society, and having received the warmth of the world, naturally there is no shortage of sinister people's hearts.
For people with bad intentions, she can only protect herself with a clear attitude. But in the twenty-three years of her previous life, she had never experienced such a sinister thing as Xu Da's family.
In this time and space, she feels that she is more orphaned than an orphan, not only does she have no relatives who can rely on her, but she also does not really understand the laws of the operation of this society, and lacks the means to effectively protect herself.
Although she has tried to keep herself calm since the accident, only she knows how hard and frightened she is to hold on.
But at the moment, she still has to protect herself with this attitude.
"Xu Sihu, don't you know why I ran out of your house?"
Xu Baixing's eyes narrowed slightly unconsciously: "Oh? I don't know, why? ”
Lingfu smiled faintly at him: "Of course, after waiting for a few days, I can't see that you and the eldest aunt have fulfilled their promise and returned the land rent that has been owed for many years!" Then why am I still staying at your house? Of course, I have to go back to accompany my lonely aunt! ”
The Qu family has been estranged from the Xu family for many years, and this time the Wei family has really worked hard to earn the Lingfu.
Knowing that the Qu family was in difficulty, he euphemistically promised the Qu family to return the money owed, and said a lot of good things, hoping that the two sisters of the Lingfu and the Xu family would be closer and more familiar.
Although the Qu family did not like Xu and his wife, seeing that his daughter was lonely and unaccompanied, and it was difficult for relatives to refuse the invitation, he really hoped that Xu and his wife could find out in conscience and return some money to tide over the difficulties, so they agreed to let their daughter stay for a few days.
Who would have thought that Xu Da's family would have such vicious intentions?
Xu Baixing thought that Lingfu would question the events of the day, but after all, it didn't work out, and Steward Cao didn't even see Xu Lingfu's face.
If Xu Lingfu dares to say something, he can give her a name for slandering her elder, anyway, the only ones who know the inside story are their husband and wife and daughter Xu Lingjiao, naturally no one will prove Xu Lingfu's words, so it is easy for him to act.
Unexpectedly, this girl would talk about the arrears. This matter is really investigated, it was he who embezzled his brother's inheritance first, although he could drag on not giving their mother money, but the reason was criticized.
He was resentful in his heart, but because Xu Lingfu had already taken the county order at this time, he could only say a lot of words politely, so he forced out a strong smile.
"Lingfu, you are not at home, I don't know a lot of things, uncle, I naturally won't rely on your orphans and widows' money. It's just that the world is difficult now, and I can't get ...... for a while."
Lingfu glanced at him: "Why did the eldest aunt come to the door that day and promised my aunt that she would return my family's rent money soon?" Did you deliberately use this to deceive me? ”
"Of course not......"
"Uncle, don't look at me when I'm young and ignorant." Lingfu's smile was sweet but sarcastic, "I lived in my uncle's house for a few days, and you know how your family's daily use is......"
"And it is still difficult for me and A-Niang to maintain a light meal, so don't say anything about the difficult world. But I'm really curious, now that all industries are withering and the common people are hungry, why can the uncle's family be able to flourish and enjoy prosperity? Could it be that there is any special 'good way'? ”
Lingfu deliberately bit the last few words, glanced at Xu Baixing, and saw that his face was really even more ugly.
Lingfu didn't want to say more: "A-Niang must be extremely anxious when I am anxious, and the Lingfu can't spend more here." ”
After that, he didn't look at Xu Baixing anymore, and turned to leave.
In a courtyard house on the west side of Dunyi Fang, Qu Shi, the mother of the Lingfu, stood under the eaves, looking at the door with her eyes stunned, and the whole person's spirit was on the verge of crumbling.
The servant woman Tian Ma brought a bowl of soup and persuaded softly: "Lady, drink the soup." You haven't eaten anything since yesterday, and if you do it again, you're going to collapse. ”
Qu Shi was still staring at it like that, and muttered in his mouth: "Mother Tian, why am I so stupid to agree to let the Lingfu go over to live?" I ......"
"Lady." Tian Ma sighed, "Now is not the time to talk about this, you have drunk this bowl of soup, keep your spirits, and the old slave will find a way with you." ”
Tian Ma glanced at the gauze wrapped around Qu's forehead worriedly, it was last night when Qu went out to look for Lingfu in a panic, and accidentally fell, and his forehead was broken a lot.
She looked at the two servant women sent by the Wei clan at the door, these two servant women had been left here since the Wei clan brought four or five subordinates to inform the Lingfu of the disappearance yesterday.
Tian Ma leaned close to Qu's ear and said, "Lady, you listen to the old slave's advice, there should be another hidden reason for the disappearance of the Lingfu." ”
