Li Yu nodded and said, “I’m afraid only Lin Zexu from the Hanlin Academy in the capital knows about this. I’ve already asked the bank to bring a letter to Aunt and ask her to remember if my mother mentioned her family.”

...

“I don’t think your mother wanted to return to the Lin family or have anything to do with them. Otherwise, why wouldn’t she ask your father to bring her to Yunzhou to look for the Wang family?”

When Li Yu heard this, she felt that Zhou Jia’s analysis was right. “We’ll know when Aunt replies, If she didn’t want to have anything to do with the Lin family, I won’t investigate anymore.” Li Yu recalled Zhou Jia mentioning Wang Qinghai and looked at him worriedly. “You said that there was something amiss about Wang Qinghai? Will he harm you?”

Zhou Jia hugged Li Yu and kissed her. He comforted her. “You don’t have to worry. I’ll be careful. I want to go to the academy to find a teacher for Yang’er and Seven Pounds first.”

The couple snuggled up and sat quietly until Yangyang ran in. When he saw the two of them, she shouted, “Father, Mother, I want a hug too.”

“Alright, hug.” Zhou Jia smiled and carried him to sit between the two of them. Yangyang raised his head and kissed the two of them. He looked at the two of them and smiled.

The couple also smiled and kissed his face. Li Yu asked gently, “Aren’t you planting herbs in the backyard with Grandmaster?”

Yangyang leaned into Zhou Jia’s arms and yawned. “It’s done. Grandmaster taught Brother Seven Pounds to recognize herbs. Grandmaster said that Brother Seven Pounds is talented.”

The couple looked at each other. Did Sir take a fancy to Seven Pounds? Did he want to teach him medicine? Zhou Jia placed the sleepy Yangyang in Li Yu’s arms and whispered, “I’ll go to Sir’s place to take a look.” Li Yu nodded and took the child, humming a song to coax him to sleep.

When Zhou Jia arrived at the courtyard, he saw Mr. Wen mixing a few herbs together for Seven Pounds to distinguish. Seven Pounds picked them up one by one and muttered softly, “This is Dendrobium, this is Gardenia, this is Mother Grass…” Seven or eight herbs were clearly separated.

Mr. Wen touched Seven Pounds’ head and looked at Zhou Jia with a laugh. “I didn’t expect Ruyi’s Seven Pounds to have some talent in identifying medicinal herbs. When the child is a little older, I’ll ask Ruyi and his wife if they’re willing to let the child study medicine.”

Zhou Jia smiled and nodded. “You’re right. We’ll ask when he’s older.” Ma Gui and Ah Wei brought Uncle Gu and the other two to the cart shop to rent two mules and led them back to the government office. Li Yu handed the rice seeds to them and instructed Ah Wei, “Go to Great Maple Mountain with Uncle Gu and hand over the method to soak the grain seeds to them before coming back.”

Ah Wei bowed and said, “I understand, Madam.” Everyone helped tie the rice seeds to the mule’s back and sent them out of the government office.

Wang Qinghai came out of the custody room and glanced at the flower door that led to the back office. He thought to himself that his uncle asked him to help keep an eye on the magistrate’s family, but the Wang family had already been despised by the emperor. The current magistrate was favored by the emperor, yet his uncle was still thinking about finding trouble with the couple. It seemed that Ah Yue’s vengeful and overconfident personality was passed down from his uncle. He decided that it was better for him not to interfere. Wang Qinghai made up his mind and suddenly felt much more relaxed. He walked out of the government office with light footsteps.

Madam Lin sat on the chair with a dark expression. Granny Han stood at the side and comforted her. “Madam, you have to get yourself together for the sake of Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master. Master has already gone out to look for Miss. Don’t fall sick again when Miss comes back.”

Madam Lin gritted her teeth and said, “Nanny, you don’t have to persuade me. I know that Ah Yue can’t be found again. That woman from the magistrate’s office was responsible for what happened to Ah Yue. Listen to me and get someone to continue watching the magistrate’s office. Doesn’t he have a son? I want her to have a taste of losing her child.”

Granny Han hesitated for a moment. “Old Master and Old Madam have instructed that you and Master are not allowed to provoke the magistrate’s family.”

Madam Lin glanced at her and said coldly, “You’re my nanny, not that damn old woman’s servant. I know that she hasn’t liked me all these years. She likes that dead person.”

Granny Han covered Madam Lin’s mouth in panic. “My ancestors! Don’t be so rude. You have to think for the two young masters.”

Madam Lin hugged Granny Han’s waist and said sadly, “Nanny, that’s the daughter I gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy. She’s my only daughter! It must have been that bitch. I want revenge.”

Granny Han hugged Madam Lin and comforted her gently. “I know, but you have to think for the two young masters. Besides, doesn’t Master hate that bitch too? Be good and wait for Master to avenge you.” Granny Han persuaded Madam Lin for a long time before finally convincing her. Exhausted, she walked towards her room and shook her head, thinking to herself, “You’re dozens of years old, but you still have the wilfulness to do whatever you want.”

Li Yu tidied up the accounts in the study. Just as she came out of the study, Old

Madam Liu carried a cup of silver fungus soup and said to Li Yu with a smile, “Madam, Old Master picked the silver fungus from the mountains and instructed me to stew it for you.”

Li Yu took the silver fungus soup and tasted it. “It tastes good. Sir even picked silver fungus!”

Old Madam Liu said happily, “Isn’t that so? Old Master said that the mushrooms sent by Uncle Gu Yu today are the most nourishing. I told him I would stew the mushrooms with chicken. Old Master said that the mushrooms you stewed with wild ducks in Tongzhou that year tasted the best .”

Li Yu smiled. “Oh! The old man wants to eat wild animals! The wild animals now are not fat enough. In a few days, the farmstead outside West City will be repaired. Let Ruyi and the others go to the mountain to take a look.”

“I made a few jars of the meat sauce you taught me to make with mushrooms.

The other mushrooms are getting dried.”

“Alright.” Li Yu thought for a moment and said, “Send a jar of mushroom sauce to Madam Gao next door and Madam He next door.”

“Alright!” When Old Madam Liu saw that Li Yu had used the food she had made to send to the other officials’ wives, she happily agreed to send the mushroom sauce.

Xing Hua entered in a panic and shouted, “Madam, go and take a look. Sister-in-law Xiaoyu has fainted.”

Li Yu was also shocked. “How could she have fainted? Hurry up and invite Old Master here.” Li Yu hurriedly ran to Xiaoyu’s room. Seeing her lying on the couch with a pale face, Li Yu walked forward and touched her forehead. She felt that it was not hot. Xiaoyu smiled weakly and said, “Madam, I’m fine. I just fainted when I got up.”

Li Yu looked at Xiaoyu and recalled that she would faint when she was pregnant. She smiled and asked, “Xiaoyu, are you pregnant?”

Xiaoyu shook her head. “I don’t think so! My period was here last month. It’s just not much.”

“That’s not necessarily true. Sir will be here soon. Just ask the old man to diagnose you. ”

“What’s wrong with Xiaoyu?” Mr. Wen asked at the door. Li Yu walked over and smiled at him. “I think she might be pregnant.”

When Xiaoyu heard Li Yu’s words, she thought about how Seven Pounds was almost four years old and she had never been pregnant since. She stretched out her wrist hopefully. “Old Master, let me take a look..”
