“You were a little rash. You’re already so old, so I won’t lecture you. If you’re so rash again, Aunt will teach you a lesson.” Madam Gong patted Li Yu a few times. “Alright, I won’t talk to you anymore. We want to see Yue’er and Xinger.”
Li Yu smiled and replied, “Xing’er and Yue’er should have gone to the backyard to play.”
Madam Gong held Lin Jia’s hand and waved at Li Yu, who wanted to accompany her to find the two children. “Ah Qing and Wanwan are going to Le County.
Your aunt-in-law can manage. Don’t worry about us.”
Li Yu smiled and agreed. She turned around and looked at Fan Mingfang. “When do you plan to set off for Le County?”
“Ah Qing said that we’ll set off when you return safely.” Fan Mingfang held Li Yu’s hand and said sincerely, “Sister, you really scared us. You have to be careful in the future. A fierce tiger can’t withstand a wolf pack. If anything happens to you…” Fan Mingfang didn’t dare to think further.
“I was at least 90% confident that I can restrain him before letting him kidnap me.” Li Yu smiled and changed the topic. “You’ll be going to Le County with Ah
Qing. Who are you planning to bring along?”
Seeing that Li Yu was unwilling to continue that topic, Fan Mingfang did not harp on it. She smiled and said, “Just a few old family members. We’ll go to the escort agency and hire a few escorts. Ah Qing will be more relaxed along the way.”
Li Yu thought of this incident and was not as optimistic about Li Qing going to Le County as before. She thought about whether it was better to let Ruyi send them to Le County or to ask Chu Sihai for a few retired people to help them in Le County.
After thinking about it, she felt that it was better to have their own people.
After making up her mind, she looked at Fan Mingfang. “It’s fine to hire a few escorts. I’ll go recruit a few people. If we can’t recruit them, I’ll get Ruyi to escort you to Le County.”
“We’re already planning to hire an escort!” Fan Mingfang looked at Li Yu in confusion. “Sister, are you worried that the road won’t be peaceful?”
Li Yu knew that Fan Mingfang was not the kind of woman who would not leave her house.
She shared her worries clearly. “I’m a little worried because the people who kidnapped me this time think I’m the one who ruined their plans. I’m worried that they’ll target you. There’s nothing wrong with being careful.”
Fan Mingfang nodded and said, “Alright, Ah Qing and I will listen to Sister.”
Li Yu smiled at Fan Mingfang. “I’m relieved to have Wanwan at the helm for Ah Qing. No matter what happens when you’re outside, you have to deal with it properly as a couple. If you encounter something that can’t be resolved, send someone back to look for your brother-in-law and me.”
Fan Mingfang stood up and bowed to Li Yu. “Yes, Sister.”
Li Yu smiled and helped her up. “There’s no need to be so polite between us.” Fan Mingfang looked at Li Yu with a smile.
When Ji Xiang arrived at Laidi’s house, he saw Old Madam Huang alone in the courtyard and asked, “Nanny, is Miss Cousin-in-law here?”
“Yes, yes.” Laidi heard Ji Xiang’s voice and walked out of the house. “Manager Xiang, IS my cousm back”‘
Ji Xiang nodded and said, “I’m back. Madam asked me to…”
After hearing Ji Xiang’s words, Laidi was shocked. “Ah! He actually did such a thing. Is he courting death?”
On second thought, in order to obtain scholarly honors, Li Fengqi even wanted to attack his cousin’s child. What was so strange about him doing such a thing now?!
Seeing her like this, Ji Xiang was worried that she would not be able to break up with Li Fengqi. He looked at her and asked, “Miss Cousin, what are your plans for you and High Scholar Li?”
Seeing Ji Xiang’s expression, Laidi knew what he meant.
“Manager Xiang, don’t worry. I’ve long given up on that heartless person. I’ll go bring the divorce letter to you so you can bring it back to my cousin.”
Ji Xiang nodded and waited for Laidi to bring the divorce letter before bidding farewell.
The old woman looked at Laidi, who was standing in the courtyard in a daze, and said, “Madam, did something happen to High Scholar Li?”
Laidi took a deep breath. “No matter what happens to him now, it has nothing to do with us. Old Madam Huang, I’m not a Madam anymore. From now on, you can call me Miss! Alright, let’s go to the market to buy some delicious food. ”
Old Madam Huang replied, “Aye! I’ll go get the bamboo basket.”
Chu Sihai came out of Li Yu’s house and arranged for someone to go to the north city gate to look for Ding Yi. He went to Mr. Wen’s medical center and explained his intentions. Mr. Wen happily gave him the prescription and instructed him on some things to take note of before getting busy again.
Chu Sihai took the prescription back and got someone to make it. The secret guard monitoring Li Fengqi returned and reported, “Head Shopkeeper, I discovered that the old woman from the woman’s family who hooked up with Li Fengqi went to a small restaurant at the alley of the market when she was buying groceries this morning. ‘
“I saw our brother there. That brother followed a man in his thirties. The old woman and that man I followed entered that small restaurant one after another.”
Chu Sihai asked, “Did they talk when they entered the teahouse one after another?”
The secret guard shook his head and said, “No, that man sat at the table and ate bun porridge. As soon as the old woman entered the restaurant, that man got up and left. The old woman went in and sat in the same seat. She ate some bun porridge and left.”
“There is indeed something wrong with this Constable Leng. It seemed that he is in the same group as that old woman. This time, I want to see how you hide your fox tails! ”
Chu Sihai said in a low voice, “Tell the brothers to be careful and keep an eye on him. Bring him back if anything goes wrong.”
“Yes, Head Shopkeeper.” The secret guard left and returned to the small courtyard where he was monitoring Li Fengqi.
Li Fengqi lay on the bed with a bitter expression. No matter how hard he thought about it, he could not understand why he had diarrhea and fainted in the examination hall.
Supporting his weak body, he got up and walked to the eaves. He said to the beautiful woman sitting there embroidering, “Ah Ying, I want to go to the medical center to take a look. It seems my stomach is still hurting.”
The woman called Ah Ying looked up at him and smiled at him. “How can you recover so quickly? I’ll get Nanny to make you some porridge to drink.”
Li Fengqi sat on the bamboo chair beside Ah Ying. “I was unlucky! I wasn’t prepared for the Spring Quarter Examination last time. This time, with your guidance, you even took the exam paper written by your father and brother and gave it to me. In the first two rounds, I wrote as if I had divine help. I was originally 100% confident that I could get on the Golden Ranking List and earn
you the title of Madam. Who knew… Sigh!”
Ah Ying looked at Li Fengqi and smiled gently. “Brother Li, I know very well how well you treat me. You’ve been accompanying me for more than a year. I’m already satisfied with your company. When you get on the Golden Ranking List next year, I’ll be your first wife. There’s no reason for me to be conferred the title of Madam.”
Li Fengqi held Ah Ying’s hand and looked at her affectionately. “I originally wanted to tell you after the Golden Ranking List. Who knew that such an unforeseen event would happen? I should tell you!”
“Brother Li, what do you want to tell me?” Ah Ying looked at Li Fengqi and said..
