After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother
Chapter 240 Everything in the cellar is gone
When the father and daughter walked out of the room, they saw that the dozen or so guards had almost turned into snowmen, staggering from side to side and looking like they could not hold on any longer.
"Master...Miss...please forgive us this time..."
"We really didn't slack off once last night..."
"Master, spare my life... please..."
Seeing them come out, the servants began to struggle to crawl over, begging for mercy.
Xu Qingrong remained indifferent. These people had committed such a serious mistake, and it was a sign of mercy on his part as their master not beating them to death.
"Dad, let them go back first. We can't let them freeze to death."
Xu Linzhi gritted her teeth, suppressed the resentment in her heart, and tried to help persuade them.
She didn't really have good intentions for these people, but she was afraid that so many people would freeze to death here. Not only would she not be able to sell them for a penny, but the yard would also become difficult to sell.
Two people had already died in just a few days. If a dozen more grown men froze to death, even if they were servants who had signed indentures, it would probably cause a sensation.
"Since the young lady is pleading for you, then go back first."
Xu Qingrong waved his hands. He really didn't want to freeze the person to death. He just wanted to vent his anger.
"Thank you...Miss..."
"Thank you, sir..."
A group of people, with trembling legs that were almost frozen, stood up by supporting each other and slowly moved to the lower room.
Xu Qingrong and Xu Linzhi didn't look at them again. As soon as they turned the corner of the backyard, they heard a miserable roar coming from the backyard.
"It's your elder brother..."
Xu Qingrong was shocked, and without caring about what happened to Xu Linzhi, he rushed to the backyard with big strides.
"Dad! It's gone! It's gone..."
Second Brother Xu had already staggered out, shouting as he ran, his eyes full of fear.
"Stop! Speak clearly! What's gone? What did you say is gone!"
Xu Qingrong only felt that his heart was being squeezed hard, making him almost unable to breathe.
He grabbed Brother Xu's collar and his expression gradually became ferocious.
"It's silver... No, it's the cellar..."
Second Brother Xu was almost strangled to death by his own father. He struggled for a long time before he could utter a word.
"It's gone... Everything in the cellar is gone..."
His guess came true. Xu Qingrong could no longer bear the continuous blows. After a burst of wild beating of his heart, his hands slowly loosened.
"Dad! What's wrong with you..."
When Xu Linzhi slowly moved her aching body over, she saw Xu Qingrong lying on the ground with his back facing up. Brother Xu was holding his upper body, shouting and shaking him.
"Dad... wake up quickly, you can't scare us..."
"Dad! Pinch his nose!"
"It's too cold here. Let's carry him inside first..."
When the other brothers of the Xu family heard the noise, they all ran over. After a lot of work, they finally carried Xu Qingrong into the house.
Xu Linzhi leaned against the door frame, watching with a blank expression, but her heart was filled with despair.
Why is this happening?
She had heard her brothers' shouts clearly just now, and everything in the cellar was gone...
Did God think that her life in her previous life wasn't miserable enough, and had to let her live again just to live a life worse than death now?
Xu Linzhi's eyes turned bloodshot. She was unwilling to accept this. She was unwilling to accept this.
She not only wants to live, but also wants to live well!
Let those who want to harm her see clearly that she, Xu Linzhi, is not a woman who can be easily defeated!
In the room, Xu Qingrong had slowly woken up. He looked at his sons gathered around him, his lips trembling for a while, and then he fainted again.
Xu Linzhi ignored the chaos in the house, nor did she listen to her brothers' panicked shouts. She slowly walked towards the rockery and went down to the cellar.
The oil lamp that the Xu brothers brought down was placed on the ground, so it was easy to see what was in the cellar.
Looking at the calligraphy and paintings scattered on the ground, she felt happy for a moment, thinking that there was always a way out.
It is possible that the thief only recognized gold, silver and jewelry, and threw away these calligraphy and paintings as worthless items.
However, this thought only lasted for a few breaths.
When she had struggled to look through all the calligraphy and paintings on the ground, her heart finally died completely.
Ha ha……
It turns out that these things are fakes used to fool people. Even if they are fakes, no extra thought has been put into them.
Facing the empty cellar, Xu Linzhi wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.
She was a little confused now. She had worked so hard for all this, but in the end not only did she get nothing in return, but she also lost her most precious thing.
Xu Linzhi was still troubled by these things at this time, but she didn't think that if they hadn't made trouble in front of the Guan family, her mother Huang would be alive and well now.
The mess in Xu Linzhi's family finally came to an end when Xu Qingrong fell into a coma. Xu Linzhi took charge and asked Brother Xu to invite the broker back.
This time, not only were the servants who had just been bought sold out, but even the entire mansion was sold as well.
There were people coming in and out of their house all the time, and soon people who wanted to watch the fun gathered around.
Many people were shocked to learn that the money they had earned had been stolen.
"Have you reported it to the police?"
"The thief is really brave..."
"We live so close, and I didn't hear anything last night..."
Everyone was pointing and talking, some suspected they were putting on a show, some shouted at them to report to the police, and some remained silent, just looking at the yard silently.
Xu Linzhi looked at those people and couldn't help but pull her cloak tighter around her.
Those people last night must have been hiding behind these people, silently watching their reactions.
Just now Xu Qingrong fainted again, and Brother Xu was about to suggest reporting to the police.
The reason we were in favor of not reporting the case to the police was because we all thought that most of the things in the cellar were still there.
Now their house has been completely robbed and there is nothing left. Of course they want to report it to the police. If they are lucky, maybe they can get it back.
However, Brother Xu's opinion did not count in this matter. Xu Linzhi strongly opposed it. In the end, there was nothing they could do and everyone had to listen to their sister's arrangements.
Fortunately, those people who bought it before didn’t buy it cheaply, because they were all big and strong men, so the price at that time was thirty taels of silver.
There were fifteen people in total, and they spent four hundred and fifty taels.
