Ah Lian carried the big cloth bag that Li Yu handed over. Yang Liu and the others felt the soft cotton and bedding on the handcart and were so touched that tears flowed out. They looked at Li Yu. “Madam Li, thank you. You let us see the light of day again and even gave us these…”
Li Yu gently patted Yang Liu’s shoulder and teased with a smile, “Aren’t you going to set up your own household and take charge? I still have to come and see you when I’m free. I want to see how you perform as the head of the family!”
Yang Liu nodded. “I’ll definitely take care of my house and wait for you to come to play next time.”
“Alright.” Li Yu looked at them. “I’ve already spoken to Judge Sun. He’ll leave you a year’s worth of rations. The household register and the house title deed will be redone for you. Also, I’ve also told them what San Qiao said about adopting children. You can discuss the rest with them yourself. They’ll try their best to satisfy your request.”
“Thank you, Madam.” Ah Lian and the others looked at Li Yu. “Madam Li, what we want to do the most is to capture those evil thieves as soon as possible and avenge our families who died tragically.”
“It might take a few days. Don’t worry, with such a group of villains hiding in the dark, the government office is even more anxious than you.”
Ah Lian nodded. “Madam Li is right. Those evil thieves are ruthless. As long as they bump into us, we’ll die.”
Li Yu glanced at the manor and said to them, “After we leave, you have to be more vigilant at night. It’s best to raise those livestock near the manor. I’ll go back and get someone to buy two dogs for you and bring them over.”
Ah Lian and the others knew that Li Yu was going back to the capital. They looked at her and nodded reluctantly. “Got it.”
After Shen Zhong loaded the carriage and Ruyi, he said to Li Yu, “Madam Li, let’s send a batch back first. Do you want to return to the capital with us?”
Li Yu had been out for a few days and missed the children at home. She nodded and said, “Let’s return to the capital together in case someone comes to hijack us on the way. It’s best to put Big Stone and Manor Head Chi in sacks and put them in the carriage.”
Shen Zhong also thought of it and nodded with a smile. “Don’t worry. I’ll feed them some knockout pills later and put them into sacks. They won’t even move. ”
Li Yu was also in a hurry to go back and see the children. “Alright, let’s set off!”
“Okay.” Shen Zhong fed Big Stone and Manor Head Chi some medicine, put them in a sack, and carried them to the carriage. San Qiao and the others made dinner, and everyone prepared to set off after eating.
After Ji Xiang set up the carriage, San Qiao and the others packed some steamed coarse grain buns for Li Yu and the others. They reluctantly sent Li Yu and the others outside the manor. Ah Lian and the others instructed, “Madam Li, you have to come to Liang Village to play when you’re free!”
Li Yu smiled and nodded. “Alright, discuss with Lord Sun about the manor. Live well. I’ll come and see you when I’m free.”
Judge Sun smiled and replied, “Madam Li, don’t worry. I’ll settle them well.”
Ah Lian and the others couldn’t help but nod. “Madam, don’t worry. We’ll definitely live well.”
Li Yu turned around and got into the carriage. She stuck her head out of the window and waved at them. “Go back!”
Ji Xiang waved his whip and drove the carriage after the carriage in front.
They did not encounter anyone who attacked them on the way. The carriage arrived safely at the city gate before it closed and returned to the capital. Li Yu and Ji Xiang rushed home. Ruyi followed Shen Zhong to haul the weapons to the Ministry of War.
When Uncle Liu saw Ji Xiang drive into the courtyard, he went forward happily with a lantern and bowed to Li Yu. “Madam is back!”
Li Yu smiled and nodded. “Hey! I’m back.”
Uncle Liu smiled and said, “Second Young Master and Third Young Master came to see you at dusk. They didn’t see you coming back and pouted before going back.”
Li Yu nodded and strode towards the inner courtyard. Just as she reached the door of the main room, she saw Zhou Jia and his sons rushing out.
“Mother, where did you go?” Yueyue and Xingxing pounced at Li Yu.
Li Yu picked them up in each hand and kissed their faces. She glanced at Zhou Jia, who was looking at her with a smile. “I went to catch bad people. Are you obedient at home?”
Xingxing pointed at Yueyue. “Second Brother was not obedient. He keeps crying.” He pointed at his nose. “Xing’er is very obedient and even helped Father coax Second Brother.”
Yueyue buried his head in Li Yu’s shoulder in embarrassment. Yangyang went forward and looked at Li Yu. He asked with a smile, “Mother, you must be tired!
Are you hungry?”
Li Yu smiled and nodded. “I’m hungry. Yang’er was worried at home, right?” Yangyang nodded and said, “Mother, you scared us.”
Li Yu smiled awkwardly. Zhou Jia smiled and went forward. He opened his arms to Yueyue and Xingxing. “Come, Father will carry you. Mother has had a long day. Let her rest well.”
Yueyue pushed Zhou Jia’s hand away. “I don’t want Daddy to carry me. I want to walk by myself.”
Li Yu smiled at Zhou Jia. The couple looked at each other and smiled
Auntie He replied with a smile, “Yes, Madam. The food is hot. Eat and wash up first.”
Li Yu washed her face and went to the dining room. Ji Xiang came out after dinner and went to the study with Zhou Jia to talk.
Yangyang followed Li Yu closely with his two younger brothers. The three brothers accompanied Li Yu for dinner and chatted with her for a while before Yangyang returned to his room to rest.
Yueyue was especially attached to Li Yu and guarded the bathroom. After a while, he was about to call his mother, afraid that Li Yu suddenly disappear again. When she finished washing uo, he pulled Li Yu’s hand into the room. “Mother, Xing’er and I want you to sleep with us.”
Li Yu followed him toward the room. “Didn’t Brother sleep with you?”
Yueyue nodded. “He slept with us. We want Mother to accompany us.” Xingxing glanced at him. “Brother is the stupidest.”
Li Yu rubbed Xing’er’s head. “Xing’er, you can’t say that about your brother.”
Granny Chen had already made their beds. Li Yu smiled and said to her,
“Nanny, go and rest first. I’ll coax them to sleep.”
Granny Chen smiled and nodded. “Alright, I’ll be outside. Call me if you need anything.”
Li Yu nodded and took off their clothes to change into pajamas. The two of them quickly climbed onto the bed and lay on both sides of Li Yu. Li Yu looked at Xing’er and then at Yue’er. She gently patted the two of them and hummed, “The chubby child is chubby and rides a horse to the capital. The capital is easy to play with. The chubby child rides a white horse…”
The two of them slowly closed their eyes under Li Yu’s humming. Li Yu leaned over and kissed the two of them. She looked up and saw Xingxing looking at her with her dark eyes. “Mother, Father is an adult. You don’t have to accompany him.”
Li Yu burst out laughing. “Silly child, I won’t accompany Father. I’ll accompany you.”
Xingxing looked at Li Yu as if he knew very well that she was lying. “Mother, you will have a long nose when you lie.”
Li Yu looked at the smart boy and was caught between laughter and tears. She smiled and kissed him. She decided to treat him as a big child and discussed with him, “I’ll accompany you to sleep. Then I’ll go next door to see Big Brother and then see Father. I need to tell Father what happened in the past few days, okay, Xing’er?”
Xing’er thought for a moment and nodded. “Alright!” Then he closed his eyes..
