The new book of the burning prairie star

Chapter 85 Clean up the house, I will live here from now on

Yang Biao and others came to Xingning Street. Dongpi went up and knocked on the door. "Is Qi Mingyao home?"

"Who's looking for the young master?" The gatekeeper opened the door and saw Yang Biao who had just got off the car. "It's you. My young master is at home. Wait a minute, I'll go and inform him." After saying that, he was about to close the door.

"Hey, you..." Dongpi stretched out his hand to stop him from closing the door, "Dongpi!" Yang Biao asked him to let go, and the door was closed.

"Let's wait," Yang Biao had run a long way today and his legs were really sore, so he sat back in the car and waited. He thought that Qi Feng's ribs were broken and it was not suitable for him to move, so he would definitely stay in the clinic for treatment. However, Qi Mingyao was at home now, which meant that the old man was in poor condition and might have passed away.

"My young master invites you in." The gatekeeper opened the door and let Yang Biao's carriage enter the yard.

"Grandfather." Qi Mingyao wore mourning clothes, knelt in front of the coffin, and cried while burning paper money for Qi Feng.

Yang Biao quickly took three incense sticks from the incense table, lit them, and bowed three times in front of Qi Feng's coffin. "Brother Mingyao, I am deeply saddened!"

"Hey, what happened to you?" Qi Mingyao's eyes were swollen from crying. He looked up and saw the injured Yang Biao, with blood oozing from the white gauze tied on his leg. He was shocked and guessed that it must have been Sun Xuanli who beat him.

"Well, Brother Mingyao, the purpose of my visit today..." Yang Biao took out the contract written by Qi Feng. He was joking. When he was discussing the renovation with Xia Kunfeng, he heard the boss next to him say that a shop on the waterway would cost at least 18,000 taels of silver. "Your grandfather sold this shop and house too cheaply. I really feel ashamed of it, so I want to return the contract to you and we will pretend that it never happened."

"This is my grandfather's property. Now that he sells it to you, it's yours. You don't have to feel any burden." Sure enough, Yang Biao was still scared after being beaten. He didn't have the strength to protect his family's property now. With this silver, he had to concentrate on studying and pave the way for the imperial examination. When he becomes successful in the future, he will make Sun Xuanli pay for his grandfather's life.

"I really can't take advantage of this. The previous signature was just a delaying tactic. Your grandfather at that time..." He was also forced by the situation and if he didn't agree, the old man would cough emotionally and even cough up blood.

"I told you, my grandfather has already sold it to you. If you want to pay it back, just go and talk to him yourself." Qi Mingyao started to act like a spoiled child. "This house will be vacated for you, and my grandfather will move somewhere else soon."

In order to prevent Yang Biao from pestering him further, Qi Mingyao decided to move his grandfather's body to the small courtyard owned by his mother. "Lao Mao, drive the carriage over here, we will move grandpa to the courtyard on Changwan Street. Grandpa has already sold this house to Yang Biao."

"Yes, young master!" The gatekeeper responded and went to the stable to lead the carriage over.

"This...Brother Mingyao, it's fine to keep the old man's body here. There's no need to move it." Qi Mingyao's actions really dumbfounded Yang Biao. Why did he feel like they were hiding from the god of plague?

Soon Qi Mingyao brought his servants to move Qi Feng to the carriage and left.

"Yang Biao, are you okay?" Qin Xiaoran saw that Yang Biao looked a little dazed and looked at him worriedly.

"I'm fine. Dongpi will drive the carriage to the inn to check out and buy three quilts when he comes back." Yang Biao took a deep breath and thought, forget it, don't think about it anymore. He should wait until he makes money in the future and give the money to Qi Mingyao according to the current market price.

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Dongpi took the silver given by Yang Biao and left to lead the carriage.

"Xiao Ran, let's clean the house. We'll live here from now on." I still have to go buy a few servants to clean the yard. It would be too tiring to do it myself every day.

"Okay. I'll clean up a room first, you go and have some rest." Qin Xiaoran saw that his legs were covered in blood, so she went into the house to find the medical kit and re-bandaged him. She and Fugui cleaned up the east room, and asked Yang Biao to lie down on the bed.

Yang Biao was indeed a little tired today and fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.

On this side, Xia Weiwei returned home and was a little surprised to see Liu sitting in her room. Her mother was always very busy. She went forward and hugged Liu's neck affectionately, "Hey, why is your mother here with your daughter?"

"Where did you go today?" Liu patted the hand that was around her.

"Well," Xia Weiwei was stunned for a moment, looked up and saw Rong Zhuang waving at her, "I went to the government office and asked Judge Cao to help me with the transfer." It seems that someone has already told her mother about her visit to the government office, so she still has to answer truthfully.

"Oh, who did you do it for?" Mrs. Liu was satisfied that her daughter did not hide anything.

"Mother, do you know that the shop at No. 15 Shushui Road was only sold for one thousand and two taels of silver?" Xia Weiwei knew that she could not hide this from Liu, but she decided to let her mother come forward to drive Sun Xuanli away.

"Yes, I heard it from Judge Cao." Liu did not hide anything when speaking to her own daughter.

"Mother, do you know why Qi Feng sold it so cheaply?" Xia Weiwei didn't want to beat around the bush and told her mother directly, "Because Sun Xuanli took advantage of his position and wanted to buy Qi Feng's shop and property for only three hundred taels."

"This bastard!" Liu stood up in shock. She had heard rumors that her husband's nephew had done some evil things, but she didn't expect him to be so bold and presumptuous. This person could not stay in the city.

"Hehua, ask Sun Xuanli to go to the side hall and tell him that I have something to discuss with him." Liu ordered Nanny Xu to personally call Sun Xuanli over. She was so angry that she knew her husband's career would be ruined by this bastard sooner or later.

"Aunt, you asked me to come here, but what's the matter?" Sun Xuanli bowed and saluted. Why would Liu ask him to come to the side hall instead of the main hall? For some reason, he felt a little uneasy today.

"I have something to talk to you about. Please sit down and talk first." When Liu heard her daughter say that Sun Xuanli was beaten while robbing a shop, she saw that there was no injury on his face, but she believed that her daughter would not lie.

"Hey," Sun Xuanli responded as he sat down, "Ouch." As soon as he sat down, he touched the wound and jumped up in pain.

"What's wrong?" Liu knew that he must have touched a wound, but she remained calm and asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No...it's okay." Sun Xuanli was in so much pain, but he still held on, not daring to show it. He cursed Yang Biao's ancestors in his heart.

"Hehua, go find the court doctor to check on the young master," Liu winked at Madam Xu and changed the subject, "I heard that you went to see Lieutenant Ji Cheng, but what's the matter?"

"Aunt, you have to make the decision for me!" Sun Xuanli knelt on the ground. He was beaten by Yang Biao today, so he went to find Ji Chengwei, hoping that Ji Chengwei would put Yang Biao in jail. He would not be a human being unless he made Yang Biao suffer a fate worse than death. However, this two-faced official, who had tried to curry favor with him before, avoided him today. He had no choice but to find his uncle, but he was not in the government office, so he had no place to vent his anger.
