Fu Tongren values money like his life. Seeing that he will make a fortune in the near future, how could he easily give away the gold and silver he has obtained?
If they want to get the food from Fu Tongren, they still have to use some tricks.
She could sneak into the Fu family granary, store all the food in the granary into the space, and then leave without anyone noticing.
This amount of food can be used as a reserve in case of emergency.
She wanted to teach Fu Tongren a lesson and avenge the original owner and her mother!
"Qin'er means that we should sneak into the Fu family's granary and secretly empty the grain?" Wei Cunqing understood Liu Qin's meaning immediately.
Liu Qin pursed her lips and smiled: "What do you think, Brother Qi? This way, we don't have to alert anyone, and we don't have to get entangled with Fu Tongren."
She was too lazy to get entangled with Fu Tongren. The main reason she returned to Yutong County this time was to take away food and teach the Fu family a lesson.
The most important thing is to get food, and teaching Fu Tongren a lesson is just a by-product.
"But isn't this a bit too cruel to the Fu family?" Wei Cunqing felt a little bit reluctant.
The Fu family is also a merchant family, making a living by trading rice. If they just take away the food from the Fu family, wouldn't that cause the Fu family to suffer heavy losses?
"Don't worry! Fu Tongren loves money so much. He has saved enough money for the Fu family to live on for several lifetimes. This time he wants to make a fortune from the national crisis. How can I let him do that?
"Much of the money Fu Tongren received was obtained through illegal means! Even if we cheat him, we are still doing good for the people!" Liu Qin explained.
Hearing this, Wei Cunqing frowned slightly.
Why does it seem like Liu Qin hates Fu Tongren?
Did they have a feud before?
"Qin'er? Does the Fu family have any grudge against you?" Wei Cunqing asked.
Liu Qin shrugged, "I guess so! Fu Tongren is my uncle! But he's not nice to my mother or us at all!
When my father and brother were in trouble, he came to seize our Liu family's property. I took away a portion of the dowry, and the rest of the property fell into Fu Tongren's hands."
Although the Liu family paid a lot of money in compensation because of the accident involving Liu Yuanhao and his son at that time, Fu left a part of the dowry to the original owner, and the rest of the land fell into the hands of Fu Tongren.
The things Fu Tongren stole from the Liu family were worth at least fifty or sixty thousand taels!
Now she took away Fu Tongren's 300,000 shi of grain, which she regarded as Fu Tongren returning to her Liu family.
Upon hearing this, Wei Cunqing understood.
It turned out that Liu Qin had a grudge against Fu Tongren. I didn’t expect that Liu Qin had so many enemies.
The Lin family has not been dealt with yet, and now the Fu family has come along.
"Qin'er, you... I'm sorry." Wei Cunqing didn't know how to comfort Liu Qin.
Liu Qin's life experience is as miserable as his, and he hopes that Liu Qin can live a happier and more fulfilling life in the future.
Liu Qin shook her head: "It's all in the past! It was my former self who suffered. I haven't suffered much injustice now."
The one who suffered was the original owner! And she really didn't suffer much injustice.
In the Liu family, the person who was forced by Fu Tongren was the original owner. In the Lin family, the person who was abandoned by Lin Wenxu and forced to death by Liang and others was also the original owner.
She was just being hunted by the Lin family and suffered some injustice on the way to escape.
Wei Cunqing reached out and held Liu Qin's hand, "Qin'er, I'm here for you from now on. I won't let anyone bully you again!"
Hearing this, Liu Qin blinked.
Is Wei Cunqing confessing his love to her?
But she is still a married woman now.
"Seventh Brother! Are you confessing your love to me?" Liu Qin asked directly.
Seeing Liu Qin's half-smile, Wei Cunqing's face flushed. "I...we...we are allies. We should help each other."
Liu Qin sighed slightly in disappointment, "I knew it! I'm just a married woman, how could I possibly catch the eye of the Seventh Prince?"
"No! I... I didn't mean that, I..." Wei Cunqing wanted to explain, but for a moment, he couldn't find a better explanation.
They have important things to do now and cannot indulge in their children's personal affairs.
But he never despised Liu Qin for being a married woman. He just felt sorry for Liu Qin, and felt sorry for Liu Qin being abandoned by Lin Wenxu and cruelly dumped by Lin Wenxu.
After all, they are husband and wife, but in order to curry favor with the powerful, Lin Wenxu cruelly wants to kill Liu Qin.
Liu Qin almost died in their hands. He felt sorry for Liu Qin, a weak woman, who had to endure so much suffering.
Seeing Wei Cunqing's anxious look as he tried to explain himself, Liu Qin covered her mouth and smiled, "Alright! Seventh Brother, I was just teasing you! If you really despised me, you could have abandoned us and left alone after leaving Yutong County, and you wouldn't have protected us all the way to Raozhou."
She could actually feel that Wei Cunqing had a good impression of her, and she felt the same way about Wei Cunqing!
However, they have more important things to do now, so it is better to hide this vague feeling for the time being.
After everything is settled, if the two of them still have feelings for each other, she is willing to give Wei Cunqing a chance.
"I'm glad you know what I mean!" Wei Cunqing said a little shyly.
Liu Qin: ...
How could he, a grown man, act like a little girl and be shy?
She stopped teasing Wei Cunqing and leaned back in the carriage to rest.
Along the way, the two did not encounter any danger and arrived directly in Yutong County.
It was already evening when they entered Yutong County, so they could only find an inn to stay in.
While having dinner, Liu Qin and the others heard the guests at the next table talking about the Lin family.
"I heard that the eldest son of the Lin family married the young princess of the Prince of Ying's palace! I think the rumors that were spread at the time were not rumors! The eldest son of the Lin family passed the imperial examination and wanted to curry favor with the powerful, so he plotted to have his wife killed.
Poor Madam Lin, I heard she is only eighteen this year! When she married the eldest son of the Lin family, she had just reached the age of marriage!
"As soon as they got married, the eldest son of the Lin family went to Kyoto to take the imperial examinations and didn't return for three years. The eldest young lady of the Lin family was a widow for three years. She finally waited until her husband passed the imperial examination, but before she could enjoy the happiness, she lost her life in vain. It's really pitiful." One of them shook his head and said with regret.
Another person echoed, "That's right! How could such a coincidence happen in this world? I've seen the Lin family's eldest young lady from a distance, and she doesn't look like the type to meet with a strange man in secret!"
Besides, didn't the Lin family catch that wild man? If they didn't catch him, why would the eldest young lady commit suicide out of fear of punishment?
All of this must have been a plot by the Lin family! Later, I heard that the Lin family's property was stolen! Lin Erlang chased the thief for a long time, but he couldn't catch him! Is this retribution for the Lin family?
"That's right! Doing something wrong will bring retribution." Another person echoed.
Liu Qin, who was standing by, was listening to their whispers with mixed feelings.
They probably couldn't have imagined that the eldest lady of the Lin family, whom they were talking about, was sitting next to them at this moment, listening to them talking about the Lin family's affairs, right?
