Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 238 Clearing out the Lu Family
Huo Zhenting patted her shoulder soothingly. "I didn't do well enough just now. She has grown up alone, and no one has ever helped her make decisions or taken care of her. She is not used to being told what to do for a while."

Mr. Huo stood up and said, "Come with me!"

After he finished speaking, he entered the study. Huo Zhenting hurriedly followed him in. Before he closed the door, he heard the old man say, "This time, the election will be expanded and the eldest son of the Qin family will be included in the waiting list."

Huo Zhenting was stunned for a moment. "Dad, as far as I know, the Lu family is approaching Qin Zhengyuan, probably trying to win him over."

Huo Fuhai said, "If the Lu family tries to win over the Qin family, will they accept? At most, they can only give the Qin family some benefits in certain aspects. Whether it's Qin Zhongyi or Qin Zhengyuan, they are not short-sighted. They want long-term interests, not such petty gains."

Lu Zongsheng is old and has not been in good health in the past two years. He is becoming increasingly weak. Like Huo Fuhai before, he spends most of his time recuperating at home and is unable to do many things.

He had to hand over many of the powers in his hands to Lu Ranglian. Lu Ranglian gave people the impression that he was a decent person. If Xu Qinghuan hadn't said it, even Huo Zhenting would not know that he was having an affair with a female officer under his command.

It's hidden quite deeply.

Given the current situation of the Lu family, Lu Ranglian really cannot provide what the Qin family wants. It is lucky that Lu Ranglian can keep his position as a substitute.

As long as Lu Zongsheng is alive, Lu Ranglian will never get the official seat. If Lu Zongsheng dies, whether Lu Ranglian can get the position given up by Lu Zongsheng depends on his ability.

As for Ho Ying-tung himself, at least he doesn't need to worry for the time being. The old man is in better spirits day by day and he can really live another 10 to 20 years. By then, Ho Chui will be grown up.

He suddenly felt relieved and began to plan to put Qin Zhengyuan on the bench.

Song Wanlin returned home and heard the old man coughing. Before she could put her bag down, Ye Xiumei came out and said, "Sister-in-law, you're back just in time. Dad is coughing again. Go and make some snow pear and Sichuan Fritillaria paste for him."

It was obviously a very common scene, and this kind of thing had happened before, but at this moment, Song Wanlin saw mockery in Ye Xiumei's eyes.

Did everyone in the family know about it, but they just kept it from her?
If even Xu Qinghuan knows it, who else doesn’t know it?

Did Shen Xiuqin tell Xu Qinghuan? If Shen Xiuqin knew everything, did that mean everyone knew?

Is everyone laughing at her?
Perhaps, others would talk about her behind her back, saying that she was suffering retribution for doing this. Wasn't everything Yao Tinghe did today what she had done before? She was even more excessive than Yao Tinghe. She trampled on Xu Jingan's dignity.

But why can't she?

Although Xu Jing'an married her, he didn't love her at all. He only married her at her request. It was the so-called righteousness in his military nature that made him marry her.

After she gave birth to the child, he threw her aside and only cared about spoiling the child without caring about her feelings.

When she was unhappy, he would just remain silent and not ask a single question.

On the contrary, when the child cried, defecated, or urinated, he ran faster than a dog.

It was precisely because of this that she hated Xu Qinghuan more and more. If it weren't for Xu Qinghuan, Xu Jing'an would not have ignored her, and she would not have fallen in love with someone else so quickly.

Lu Ranglian came back, and he seemed to be in a good mood. He habitually threw the file bag in his hand onto the coffee table, then sat down on the sofa and called to Song Wanlin who was busy in the kitchen, "Pour me a glass of milk!"

After saying that, he crossed his legs, tiptoed inchingly, and read the newspaper leisurely.

Song Wanlin remained calm.

At night, the two of them lay on the bed. Song Wanlin leaned towards Lu Ranglian. He impatiently pushed her away and muttered, "Go to sleep!" Song Wanlin lay flat on the bed, suppressing the complex emotions in her heart.

After a while, when Lu Ranglian was drowsy and a little sleepy, she reached out and touched him.

Even if Song Wanlin refused to believe Xu Qinghuan's words, she had to doubt it because she knew too well what Lu Ranglian's situation was.

Lu Ranglian soon began to snore, occasionally smacking his lips, and it was unclear what kind of sweet dream he was having.

Song Wanlin was not sleepy at all. She stared at the ceiling with her eyes open, not knowing what to think, not knowing what to think, until she smelled a little coolness at the tip of her nose, and then she slowly fell asleep.

The door made a slight click, and then a slender figure flashed in. She glanced at the two people on the bed separated by a huge gap, smiled sneerly, and then started rummaging through the drawers to look for it.

With the help of a small flashlight, Xu Qinghuan found a property deed, which belonged to a house in Dongcheng District, about ten miles away from here, and was registered under the name of Song Wanlin.

Just what she was looking for.

There was some cash in the drawer, as well as some of Song Wanlin's jewelry. She saw a butterfly brooch made of white pearls, which looked a bit old.

Xu Qinghuan originally had no intention of taking the money, but at this moment, she wanted to take the pearl butterfly brooch away, because it was a gift to Song Wanlin from the allowance Xu Jing'an earned after he made a second-class individual merit.

That year the original body was only one year old.

Song Wanlin was not worthy of keeping the gift Xu Jingan gave her.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she put all the money in the drawer into the space.

Jiang Xingye was guarding in the backyard, digging the soil with his butt sticking out according to Xu Qinghuan's instructions. With a slight clang, the shovel hit the stone slab, and Jiang Xingye became more and more excited.

He looked up at Xu Qinghuan, shoveled away the dirt on the stone slab, then he exerted force and turned the stone slab over, revealing a tunnel leading underground.

Neither of them was in a hurry to go down. After a while, Xu Qinghuan threw a piece of burning candle into it. As long as the flame was not extinguished, she asked Jiang Xingye to guard it from above while she went down.

The underground area was very large, almost as big as a basketball court, and it was filled with boxes, rosewood boxes, just like the ones in the Jiang family, containing yellow croakers of all sizes, jewelry, and ancient books and paintings.

Whatever was overthrown in this era, all the so-called feudal toys that were collected were collected and piled up here.

Xu Qinghuan didn't hesitate and put them all into the space.

She took out a stack of big unity notes from the last box and planned to give them to Jiang Xingye, but after thinking about it, she threw it in.

He won't want it.

After coming out of the underground, Jiang Xingye didn't ask anything. He put the stone slab back to its original place and covered it with soil. Then he asked, "Where are we going?"

"I'm going to Dongcheng District and will be back soon." Xu Qinghuan said.
