Chapter 276 Skinny Monkey Blackmail
Xiao Yan returned home quickly.
When Lu Qiniang opened the door, she couldn't believe her eyes.
"You, you're back now?"
Xiao Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How about I go back and stay for a few more days?"
"Ahhh, Big, Second, Third, and Yunting, your father is back. Ah, Yunting, no. Look at me, I'm so happy I'm silly."
She was so happy that Xiao Yan reached out and hugged her. Not only did she not resist, she deepened the hug.
She picked up Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan: "..."
His ribs—
The weapon attacked people.
Lu Qiniang had so much to say to Xiao Yan.
But she didn't know what Xiao Yan and Daya were talking about in the yard, and she was too embarrassed to disturb them, so she walked around the house happily.
Xiao Yan was imprisoned for seven days, but he didn't look much different. Even his clothes were clean, and he didn't look disgraceful.
Second brother, thank you for taking care of me.
I must thank Lu Jin later.
When Xiao Yan finally came in, Lu Qiniang immediately started talking and told him about the series of events that had happened recently.
"Fortunately, you came back safely. Now it's our turn to repay the favor. They have helped us, and we can't forget it." Lu Qiniang said.
"Yes, you are right. Abandoned Mother, have you gone to find Zhang Heyao?"
"How did you know?" Lu Qiniang asked in surprise, "It was Uncle Teng who reminded me, fearing that he would do something bad. The fact that you can come back means that he didn't eat my meal in vain."
"Zhao Zhao told me." Xiao Yan sighed, "Abandoned Mother, next time you should tell me about this first."
She said a lot, but she didn't mention Zhang Heyao.
"Why mention him? He's annoying." Lu Qiniang just threw it away after using it, without any burden at all.
She felt that she had encountered the most difficult thing.
Zhang Heyao couldn't just stand by and watch someone die.
What she and Zhang Heyao said was the truth.
If Zhang Heyao's house was raided in the future, she would still be able to send him food.
If he died and no one came to collect his body, she could provide him with a coffin.
They are a couple with grudges against each other. Now that they have separated, there is no grudge between them, but they still have the same parents.
"It's useless, but Qi Niang, if you don't tell me, I will think too much and get jealous." Xiao Yan taught her little by little.
A blush crept up on Lu Qinniang's face.
What is this person saying?
Daya is the same, why tell him all this?
"Abandoned Mother, I missed you a lot when I was in the Imperial Prison." Xiao Yan continued, "Every moment, as long as I was awake, I was thinking about what Abandoned Mother was doing, whether she was worried about me, and whether I had eaten and rested well—"
"I've lost three kilograms." Lu Qiniang said, "I've made up my mind this time to lose more weight. One hundred and twenty kilograms is about right."
In order to avoid what others said, she just thought about losing weight.
This shows that she still cares about it in her heart.
Although I can't be as thin as a stick, I will be happy if I can be a little thinner and have a well-proportioned body.
She was too resentful about the fact that "the innocent will be cleared".
The main thing is that the shame was brought to someone else's home.
It couldn't be considered a reunion after a long separation, but the person beside her was back, and Lu Qiniang slept soundly that night.
When she woke up, Xiao Yan was gone.
"Erya, where is your father?" Lu Qin's mother asked when she saw Erya feeding chickens in the yard.
"My dad took my eldest sister to see my brother-in-law." Erya said, "Mom, what did you want to eat in the morning? My dad asked me to go out and buy you something to eat."
"No, I'll just get up and make one."
Lu Qiniang ate a quick meal and hurried to the warehouse.
She had to quickly tell everyone the good news that Xiao Yan was back to stabilize the "military morale".
Just like that, two of them ran away.
This is human nature, and Lu Qinniang understands it.
If it were her, she would know nothing. When she heard that she had offended the emperor, she thought of her family and what else would she be waiting for if not running away?
So Lu Qiniang planned to ask someone to call these two people back so that they could stay and continue to work.
She had to quickly tell the rest of the people that everything was fine, so as to avoid making them feel anxious.
Before she even reached the warehouse, she was stopped by an acquaintance.
"What are you doing?" Lu Qiniang scolded, "You're sneaking around like a bad person. I hate myself for being so blind that I didn't see what you are. You said you lost your virtue by robbing tombs and can't have children. I think you're greedy and forget your principles. God, please forgive me."
The person who came was the skinny monkey who had not been seen for a long time.
The skinny monkey said, "People die for money, birds die for food. Those people followed you, and in the end they only earned a few dozen taels of silver and died. You are so generous. They gave me two hundred taels of silver at once, why shouldn't I go?"
"Since you've left, why are you looking for me?" Lu Qiniang said impatiently, "You can't be the one who doesn't want you and you're coming back to me to collect my scraps. I'm telling you, forget it!"
She has a good temper, but that doesn't mean she is stupid.
"A good horse never turns back to the pasture it belongs to. I understand this principle." The skinny monkey gritted his teeth, his face sinister. "Do you want your husband to come back?"
Lu Qiniang slowly typed a question mark.
Brother, you are behind the times.
Now it’s not about whether I want to or not, he has already come back!
Lu Qiniang suppressed her urge to show off and said with a deliberately cold face, "So what if I thought he'd come back? You've made it big, are you going to rob a prison? Oh, no, you're a tomb robber. Are you going to dig holes in the Jinyiwei prison? You were born of a mouse, right? The sons of mice love to dig holes."
The skinny monkey was so angry that his face turned ugly. "You don't have to show off with me here. You are just a useless and rough woman. You just have better luck than others."
"You're right. If you have something to say, say it now. I have to go back to work in the warehouse."
Today she has to take everyone to check on the shop, and everyone will help out and do whatever they can to quickly tidy up the shop.
The canal will slowly begin to thaw in February, and if it is a warm spring, work can begin in mid-February.
No matter what you delay, you can't delay making money.
"I have a clue," the skinny monkey gritted his teeth, "the clue to the gunpowder that blew up the city wall. If you want to save your husband, give me five thousand taels of silver and I will tell you."
Lu Qiniang looked at him as if he were a fool. "Do you think I will believe you? Or do you think my money was blown by the wind?"
He opened his mouth and asked for five thousand taels, not even afraid that the wind would blow his tongue away.
Years ago when he was a bandit in the mountains, so many people couldn't even get together a knife.
Now the asking price is five thousand taels?
Even puffer fish can't swell up as fast as him.
"This clue is very useful. It can prove that it has nothing to do with you." The skinny monkey said, "Five thousand taels of silver, if you can come up with it, it depends on whether you are willing to do it. It will be your husband in exchange."
"I don't want to." Lu Qiniang said, "I bought a husband for five taels of silver, and now you tell me to redeem him for five thousand taels? Are you kidding me? I bought a thousand, and I couldn't pick out a good one? The remaining nine hundred and ninety-nine are my profit for nothing!"
"Aren't you afraid of tiring yourself to death?" The skinny monkey cursed angrily when he saw that he failed.
