At this moment, Ah Lei ran in with a surprised expression. “Master, go back and take a look. Who’s here?”
Li Qing looked at Ah Lei’s expression and thought of that master. He guessed that Li Yu might have received the news and rushed over worriedly. He hurriedly asked, “Is my sister here?”
“Master, you really guessed it.” Ah Lei gave Li Qing a thumbs up. “Madam is here with two stewards.”
Li Qing cupped his hands at County Magistrate Liu. “Lord Liu, I’ll excuse myself. ”
With that, he ran out.
County Magistrate Liu watched Li Qing run out and turned to look at Advisor Lin curiously. “Sister Li treats him so well. She came to see him as soon as he took office.”
When Advisor Lin heard County Magistrate Liu’s words, he knew the latter regarded Li Yu as the kind of woman who doted on her brother. He looked at County Magistrate Liu unhappily. “Lord Liu, Madam Li is not an ordinary woman from the inner residence. She’s the First-grade Madam Protector of the country conferred by His Majesty. Madam Li…”
County Magistrate Liu looked at Advisor Lin, who couldn’t stop, in surprise…
Li Qing ran back to the backyard and saw Fan Mingfang holding Li Yu’s hand in surprise. He smiled and bowed. “Sister, why are you here?”
Li Yu looked at the high-spirited Li Qing and patted him reproachfully. “Young brat, you’ve grown capable! Cant I come and see you?
Li Qing’s eyes were filled with smiles as he nodded vigorously. “Yes, why not? I can’t wait for you to come and not leave! Where are Brother Ruyi and Brother Ji Xiang?”
Li Yu smiled at him. “Ah Lei will accompany them. I’ll go wash up first. Go talk to them.”
Fan Mingfang smiled and said, “That’s right! Sister has traveled for so long. Let her wash up and rest before asking!”
“Alright, alright, alright!” Li Qing said happily, “Wanwan, go prepare some of Sister’s favorite food. Also, where’s Dong’er? Bring him to meet Auntie.”
Fan Mingfang looked at the long-winded Li Qing and pushed him out with a smile. “I know. Go quickly!”
Li Qing went to the front yard. Ruyi and Ji Xiang hurriedly got up to greet him.
“Brother Ruyi, Brother Ji Xiang, you’re treating me like an outsider!” Li Qing hurriedly went forward and pulled the two of them down.
Ruyi looked at Li Qing and said with a smile, “Are you used to being in Le County?
Li Qing told the two of them what had happened after he arrived in Le County. He smiled and said, “It’s all thanks to Brother Liang and the others. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been easy for me to be the county magistrate.”
“Madam rushed over as soon as she received the news. She was afraid that you… Fortunately, it was a close call.” Ji Xiang smiled.
Li Qing looked at Ah Lei and asked him to guard the door. He whispered to the two of them, “We haven’t caught that person yet. I didn’t know you were coming. I wrote a secret letter and asked Brother Liang to send it to the capital. ”
Ji Xiang and Ruyi looked at each other and thought in unison that Madam was the most far-sighted after-all. She asked the shopkeeper for those experts. Otherwise, Li Qing’s matter in Le County wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.
Seeing that Li Qing was worried about that master’s whereabouts, Ruyi pointed at Ji Xiang’s arm and said, “Uncle, on the way here, Madam and I encountered five or six wild beasts in the wilderness. Their posture was very scary. One of them even bit Ti Xiang’s arm. Don’t worrv. we’ve alreadv killed those wild
beasts and they’ve been left in the deep mountains and forests. They can’t come out to harm others anymore.”
Li Qing immediately understood what Ruyi meant and looked at the two of them worriedly. “I didn’t expect the road to be so unstable. Is my sister alright? How’s Brother Ji Xiang’s arm?”
Ji Xiang nodded happily. “Madam is fine. I took the pill concocted by Old Master and have recovered long ago.”
Li Qing felt relieved and said happily to the two of them, “That’s good. You have to have fun for a few days before leaving.”
Ruyi smiled and said, “We’ll listen to Madam.”
When Li Qing heard Ruyi’s words, he said with some emotion, “My sister is relieved to see that I’m fine. If you don’t believe me, look at her! She’ll only be here for two days at most before she’s busy going back to see Yang’er and the others!”
Ruyi nodded. “Second Young Master and Third Young Master are still young and can’t leave Madam. Master and Eldest Young Master leave early every day. Even with Granny and the others watching, they still can’t let go. When Young
Masters grow up, Madam can walk around freely.”
Li Yu leaned comfortably against the bathtub and thought about what the commoners had said when she entered the city. She felt that Zhou Jia knew Li Qing best.
Back then, not only could that scrawny kid stand up for the Li family, but he could also benefit the commoners. Thinking of this, Li Yu smiled proudly.
Seeing that Li Yu had been in for almost an hour, Fan Mingfang was worried that she had fallen asleep in the bathtub. She held Dongdong’s hand and walked out of the bathroom. She called out softly, “Sister, are you done bathing?”
Hearing Fan Mingfang’s cry, Li Yu stood up and walked out of the bathtub. She raised her voice and said, “Alright, wait a moment.” She changed into a purple dress, tied up her hair, and fixed it with a hairpin. Then, she pushed open the door and walked out.
Fan Mingfang looked at Li Yu and said with a smile, “Sister looks really good in this.” As she spoke, she looked down at Dongdong, who was looking up at Li Yu. “Dong’er, don’t you recognize Auntie?”
“I know Auntie.” Dongdong held Li Yu’s hand. “Auntie, where are Brother Yueyue and Brother Xingxing?
“Baby, your brothers are at home!” Li Yu smiled and picked him up. “Did you miss Auntie?”
Dongdong looked at Li Yu and shook his head. “No, I miss my brothers.”
Fan Mingfang laughed when she heard that. “Young brat, you only know how to play.”
Li Yu pretended to be sad. “Aiyo! Auntie is sad. Dong’er didn’t even think about
Auntie.”
Dongdong hugged Li Yu’s neck and looked at her honestly. “Auntie isn’t fun. My brothers are fun.”
Li Qing walked in and heard Dongdong’s words. He smiled and slapped him on the butt. “Little baddie.”
Dongdong pointed at Li Qing and looked aggrieved. “Auntie, Father hit me.”
Li Yu smiled and patted Li Qing. “Let’s ignore him. Auntie will carry him to eat.”
When they arrived at the table, Li Yu smiled at Dongdong and said, “There’s so much delicious food. What do you like to eat?”
Dongdong pointed at the minced meat egg custard. “Dong’er likes egg custard.
Auntie, eat it.”
“Alright, Auntie will scoop custard for Dong’er.”
After dinner, the siblings sat in the reception hall and chatted. Li Yu looked at
Li Qing and said in relief, “Ah Qing, you’re very capable. I’m very happy.” Li Qing bowed to Li Yu and said, “Sister and Brother-in-law taught me well.”
“The teacher leads the way. Cultivation depends on the person. I’m really happy that you can achieve what you have today.” Li Yu looked at him and said
seriously, “In the tuture, you have to remember not to torget your original intentions no matter where you go.”
Li Qing replied respectfully, “Yes.”
Li Yu looked at him and lowered her voice. “It’s fine as long as you understand what Ruyi said to you. No matter when, you have to understand that the more you know, the more likely you are the one who is sacrificed.”
When Li Qing heard Li Yu’s words, he understood what she was worried about. He looked at her and nodded solemnly. “Sister, don’t worry. I’ll remember what you said..”
