Chapter 584: Take advantage of your illness to kill you
Lin Mo put the letter down and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although many people from the Du family died, at least most of them are still alive, which is a blessing in disguise.
Lin Mo was very glad that she insisted on letting someone make this trip.
This trip is worth it.
At least more than a hundred people were saved, and these more than a hundred people will be grateful to the Xu family.
"Young Madam, thank goodness you insisted." Xu Qing also had a look of joy on his face, "Otherwise, the Du family would have been completely wiped out."
He did not miss what Xuesong said in the letter: when they arrived, most of the Du family would be so hungry that they would be on their last legs and would collapse at the slightest gust of wind.
"Yeah." Lin Mo nodded, then put the letter aside.
"How's things going with the Song family?"
When asked about the Song family, Xu Qing wanted to smile secretly, "It's very miserable."
After Song Yi received the news of the Song family's family changes, he immediately took 500 people and rushed back to Qinghe City overnight, trying to take over everything of the Song family.
But what greeted him was the Song family, which had nothing.
Song Yunze was also a smart man. When he saw Song Yi wanted it, he immediately gave the troubled Song family to Song Yi.
Song Yi is not that stupid. He wants the Song family's wealth, not the troubled Song family.
When Song Yi found out that all the Song family wealth was gone, he attacked Song Yunze because he was filled with anger.
After all, Song Yi's wife and children were also killed by Song Yunze. Song Yi naturally hated him for the new and old grudges.
Unfortunately, Song Yunze has 5,000 men under his command.
The few people Song Yi had were no match for Song Yunze.
They were all knocked down in one round.
If the mayor of Qinghe City had not come out to persuade him, Song Yi would have been beheaded by Song Yunze sooner or later.
Despite this, Song Yi still couldn't find the Song family's enormous wealth.
It is worth mentioning that Song Kai is dead.
They were killed by Song Yunze on the day they were digging bricks in the underground palace, so the five thousand men are now firmly controlled by Song Yunze.
"Young Madam, Song Yi has now fled back in disgrace with his men. Should we send someone to intercept him and take advantage of the opportunity to attack him?" Xu Qing was sharpening his fists.
He has no good impression of these scumbags in the Song family.
He now has only one thought in his mind: to kill you while you are sick.
Lin Mo shook his head, "No need.
Let the Song brothers fight among themselves and don't bother with them.
They were pulling each other away so they wouldn't notice us."
At this point, Lin Mo looked at Xu Dapeng, "Uncle Peng, how's the greenhouse business going?"
If we calculate the time now, there is only about a month left until the Chinese New Year.
"The first crop of vegetables has all been sold, and we made this much in total." Xu Dapeng held up three fingers.
"Three thousand taels?" Xu Qing asked curiously.
Then he shook his head in disgust, “It’s a little less.
But compared to the average income from farming, this is considered high.”
Xu Dapeng knocked his head in disgust, "Who told you three thousand taels? Who are you looking down on? Listen carefully, it's thirty thousand taels.
This is the first crop of income, and in a few days, we will be able to earn the second crop."
Lin Mo calculated silently in his mind, then looked up:
"I remember that there were about 3,000 households registered as having lost their lives or become disabled.
So, Uncle Peng, you should take this profit and use it for its intended purpose. Let them divide the money among themselves and then send it to their families, so that everyone can have a happy New Year this year."
Xu Dapeng was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I'll go down and make arrangements now."
After Xu Dapeng went down, Lin Mo asked Xu Qing to invite Xu Pinggui over.
She could see that Xu Pinggui had been avoiding her for some time.
Why was he avoiding her? Lin Mo guessed the reason after analyzing it.
Old Xu.
So, after Xu Pinggui came in, Lin Mo spoke directly, "Tell me, what happened with Old Xu?
It's hard for you to avoid me these past few days."
Xu Pinggui swallowed nervously, but he still shook his head nervously, "Young Madam, I am really busy and I am not hiding from you.
Also, the young master is doing fine, nothing happened."
After saying this, he didn't dare look directly at Lin Mo because he felt guilty.
Lin Mo glanced at him and leaned back on the stool:
"So, how long are you going to lie to me?
Xu Pinggui, didn’t I tell you that I don’t want to be cheated?
Xu Pinggui was a little conflicted. He looked up and saw Lin Mo's frosty face. Finally, he gritted his teeth and spoke directly:
"Young Madam, I say yes, but you have to promise me not to get excited, okay?"
The lady is a smart person.
She and the young master wrote to each other every three days, but now there has been no letter for such a long time, the young lady will sooner or later become suspicious.
He was afraid that if he told his wife, she would get so excited that something bad would happen to her body.
If that were the case, he would not have the face to see the young master even if he died a hundred times.
Lin Mo's face was gloomy. "Don't worry, I will try my best to control my emotions."
"Young Madam, you are not alone now, but two people. So you must stay calm." Xu Pinggui emphasized again with a wry smile.
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me what happened with Old Xu." Lin Mo's voice was filled with impatience.
At this moment, she couldn't help but clench her hands into fists.
What happened to Old Xu? It was so serious that Xu Pinggui wanted to hide it from him!
Xu Pinggui became serious, "Madam, the young master came back from Nanshao Kingdom twenty days ago. He wanted to give you a surprise, so he didn't let us tell you about this.
But six days ago, I received news that the young master was attacked, and many of those who escorted him back were killed or injured. Now the young master's whereabouts are unknown."
Lin Mo's face looked very ugly, and she guessed that something had happened.
Otherwise, how could Old Xu, who writes a letter every three days, not write to himself for several days?
Xu Pinggui looked at the silent Lin Mo with some concern, "Young Madam, don't worry. I have sent a message to the people nearby to look for the young master. And Ping An rushed over as soon as he received the news.
We didn't see the young master at the scene of the incident. We suspect he's injured and is recovering. He'll definitely send us a message as soon as he's better."
Lin Mo still didn't say anything, but kept lowering his brows and thinking about things.
Of course she didn't believe that anything would happen to Old Xu.
"Have you asked someone to check who attacked Old Xu?" Lin Mo raised his head, a hint of hostility in his voice.
"We haven't found any clear evidence yet, but the limited clues all point to Prince Heng." Xu Pinggui said softly:
"I've sent someone to look for news on Prince Heng, but there's been no news so far. Prince Heng is very mysterious."
Lin Mo pursed her lips.
"You've been fooled. The other party did all this just to get you to investigate him."
Xu Pinggui was stunned.
If what the young lady said was right, then didn't they just fall into the other party's trap?
Thinking of this, Xu Pinggui's face couldn't help but become serious again:
"Young Madam, what should we do now?"
Lin Mo closed his eyes, opened them after a while, and shook his head:
“Old Xu will take care of this matter.
But immediately spread the word, tell them to stop investigating Prince Heng and burn all the information they've found. Don't let anyone catch you."
Xu Pinggui nodded and immediately turned around to make arrangements.
Lin Mo was a little annoyed.
She stood up and walked out into the yard.
Although it is not snowing now, the weather is still terribly cold and shadows of snow can be vaguely seen everywhere.
The gloomy sky was just like her current mood, as if a violent storm might come at any time.
She really wanted to ride her horse to Old Xu right now.
But she can't!
She is still pregnant with Old Xu's child, and there must not be any accidents with this child.
"sister in law?"
Xu Xianyu ran out of the house to get food and saw Lin Mo standing in the garden in a daze. He immediately ran towards her nervously:
"It's so cold, why are you standing here in a daze?
You haven’t even put on a cloak. What if you catch a cold and get sick?
Sister-in-law, please come back to the house with me to warm up."
As she said that, she reached out to pull Lin Mo back into the house.
Lin Mo came back to his senses and shook his head, "I'm fine, I'm just standing here to clear my mind."
Xu Xianyu shook her head. "Sister-in-law, don't I know you? Just looking at your expression, I can tell something's wrong, and you still say nothing's wrong."
As she spoke, she pulled Lin Mo and continued walking towards the house in front.
And from the house in front, laughter could be heard from time to time.
Lin Mo shook his head, "You think too much, what can happen to me?"
Xu Xianyu obviously didn't believe it, but since she didn't say anything, she couldn't keep asking.
But she was sure her sister-in-law had something on her mind.
She has something on her mind, and we can't let her stay here alone.
So, she took her sister-in-law back to the recreation room.
She just randomly named the entertainment room.
The location is in the room with a large fire pit.
At this time, Liu Ying and Nanny Qin were playing cards on the kang.
As soon as Xu Xianyu came in, he asked Xu Mengxian to make room for Lin Mo to play.
Lin Mo looked at the leaf cards in his hand with an innocent look:
“I can’t play!
Let Meng Xian come and play."
After saying that, he was about to return the leaf cards to Xu Mengxian.
"Sister-in-law, come and play. It's very simple. I'll teach you!" Xu Xianyu pushed her hand back, and then began to teach Lin Mo how to play leaf cards step by step.
After Lin Mo got the hang of it, she stepped aside and watched.
Looking at his sister-in-law's excitement while playing cards, Xu Xianyu curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
Her sister-in-law is just too depressed. She keeps everything in her heart, which makes her worried.
Just by looking at the distance in a daze, she knew something had happened without having to guess.
The person in trouble might be her elder brother.
She couldn't help and didn't know where her elder brother was in trouble, but she believed that her elder brother would be able to get out of danger.
She just needs to help her elder brother take care of her sister-in-law before her elder brother comes back.
Seeing that her sister-in-law's attention was all on the card games, Xu Xianyu quietly put on her cloak and pushed the door open to go out.
