Chapter 135 There is only one possibility
After returning to the room, Qiao Ye took a palm-leaf fan and kept fanning himself.
The weather is too hot. I really miss air conditioning and electric fans.
After Lu Shao came in, he picked up a fan, sat next to her, and fanned them together.
When two gusts of wind blew, Qiao Ye finally felt a little more comfortable.
She turned her head to Lu Shao and said, "I went to the county town today and got some important news."
Without waiting for him to ask, she told him everything she had found out.
She added: "We were right to suspect before. Not only does your father have private property, he also bought a lot of it."
Lu Shao said: "I just happened to find some things."
"I found out that in addition to the two shops that were officially under his name, my father actually had a large house, three shops of considerable value, and a farm."
"Of the two shops under his name, one was transferred to him by my mother. It's now rented out, and the Lu family knows about it."
"He bought the other one with his own money, and now he's lending it to Big Brother Yu Wanzhi's family for business."
"This is something that none of the Lu family knows."
"As for the big house, the three shops and the farm, they are all registered in the names of three other people."
"But my father holds the indentures of those three people."
In his previous life, he had been forced to leave Mayu County and was not aware of these things.
And when he had the ability to take revenge, he also fought with his father and others in the capital.
At that time, he sent people back to investigate the incident in which he was murdered.
But my father should have sold those properties and bought some in the capital.
Plus, this was not the focus of the investigation, so his people didn't find out.
Qiao Ye raised an eyebrow, "Your father is really calculating. He bought so many properties but put them in the name of slaves, and didn't reveal any information to the Lu family. He was on guard against the Lu family."
The Dayin Dynasty did not have a rule that slaves who sold themselves could not own property, but this allowed the scumbag eunuch to take advantage of this loophole.
She snorted again, "He is so shameless. He is so rich, but he still keeps calculating the money that people in his hometown save by living frugally."
The scumbag eunuch is the real-life version of the heartless and ungrateful Phoenix man.
Lu Shao said: "If he didn't come to scrape money from his hometown, people would be wondering where he got the money to study."
"The Lu family will also ask about it."
"After all, he is still studying. Apart from the rent of the shop, he has no other obvious source of income."
"Of course, this is also his cruel side."
Even if the people from his hometown have some small thoughts, they have done enough to be worthy of his father.
But the reward was a joke.
Qiao Ye agreed, "It's really a cruel thing."
"From what I have heard, the money he used to buy these properties must have come from something shady."
"And I got it from your mother."
She asked curiously, "He and Yu Wanzhi talked about that family coming over. Do you know which family they are?"
Lu Shao thought for a moment and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be my mother's family home."
"My mother's family was originally a wealthy merchant family in Jiangnan, but due to some circumstances, they were schemed against and fell into defeat."
"In the end, only my grandmother and great uncle were left."
"My great uncle's wife divorced and remarried."
"My uncle brought my grandmother and son here and lived here for a few years, hiding their identities."
"The shop that my mother transferred to my father was actually the dowry that my uncle bought for her."
"After my grandmother married my grandfather, within two years my uncle took his two sons and left, saying that he wanted to go out to sea to try his luck."
"To make a lot of money and rebuild the family's glory, and also to find an opportunity for revenge."
"My grandmother died early because she was always worried about my uncle and my three grandparents."
"This is what my grandfather told me when I was a child."
"That's why my mother's dowry was quite large."
"Otherwise, with what my grandfather earned as a teacher, he wouldn't be able to save that much money."
"Grandpa never told me that my uncle left any money or property."
"He probably doesn't know much about this either."
"But I have an impression that I once heard my mother and father chatting and saying that they didn't know if they could ever see their old friends again and return the things they entrusted to them."
"This also means they can come back alive."
"My father comforted my mother and said there would definitely be a chance."
"I asked out of curiosity at the time, but my father scolded me, so my mother didn't tell me."
"Now that I think about it, this is probably what Qilang heard."
"I guess when my uncle left, he must have left behind a sum of money and valuables, which were not easy to take with him to the sea, so he might have wanted to keep them as a last resort, so he asked grandma to keep them for him."
"After all, a rotten boat still has three pounds of nails."
"My grandfather was not well-informed and did not care about worldly affairs. He devoted himself to studying and teaching."
"So before my grandmother passed away, she gave these things to my mother for safekeeping. Finally, before my mother passed away, she gave them to my father for safekeeping."
"But my father became greedy and took all the money and property for himself."
He narrowed his eyes and said, "So, buying those properties is not only to protect against the Lu family, but also to protect against the day when my uncle and others come back to ask for things."
After he got the news today that his father had acquired so many businesses, he couldn't figure out where the other party got so much money.
But after hearing the news that the young wife had found out, it all made sense.
Qiao Ye frowned, "Your mother has never mentioned this to you and your sister?"
Lu Shao shook his head. "No one mentioned it. I don't know. Lu Mei probably doesn't know either."
He sighed, "Although mother loves my sister and me more, she cares a lot about my father and even obeys his every word."
"My father must have told her so, so she never mentioned it to us."
Qiao Ye thought about it and couldn't help asking, "Did your grandfather and your mother really die of illness?"
I always feel that the timing of death is very delicate.
Not long after Yu Bailian was kicked out of the Zhou family, Lu Shao's grandfather died of illness, and not long after that, his mother also died of illness.
Then let this pair of dogs be together successfully and openly.
What a coincidence.
Lu Shao's eyes were dark, "I checked before, but I couldn't find out that there was something wrong with their illness."
"The doctors my grandpa and mom consulted when they were sick confirmed that my grandpa died of a cold."
"My mother fell ill due to excessive grief and died with me."
"They were not treated by the same doctor, and we checked and found that they were not lying."
He had always suspected this, so he had looked into it carefully in his previous life.
"My grandfather went to take the imperial examination and caught a cold in the examination room. He stayed there for two days and his condition got worse after he came back."
"So he must have died of a severe cold."
During that period, he also stayed in his grandfather's room to watch over the nights several times, as his grandfather was indeed very ill at that time.
Then he changed the subject and said, "But my mother passed away, and I felt something was wrong."
"She fainted at the funeral hall because of her grandfather's death, and then she fell ill and never recovered."
"Although she was bedridden, when I visited her later, I felt that her condition was not serious enough to cause her death."
"After that, my father allowed us to visit my mother in the backyard every two or three days, on the pretext that we should not disturb her rest."
"The day my mother died, I found blood on her bed, like it had spurted out."
"I didn't think much about it at the time because I was sad, but after thinking about it carefully, I had a suspicion."
He sighed heavily, pursed his lips and said, "My mother might have been ill to begin with, and then she was so angry that she vomited blood and died."
Qiao Ye understood as soon as he heard it.
If he could be so angry that he vomited blood and died, there is only one possibility.
