The couple leaned against each other and talked about what had happened these days.
“Yu’er, Chu Sihai and Chu Qing have already returned from the mountains. That Steward Cheng took poison and committed suicide. The two of them brought a few small leaders back. These two days, the capital has captured another group of people and sent them to jail. Since you have returned, I think Chu Sihai will come tomorrow.”
“I know why Chu Sihai would come for us.” Li Yu told Zhou Jia in a low voice that she had killed the Second Prince. “Xiao Xi, we encountered that inhumane thing. If he doesn’t die, we won’t be able to live in peace. If he dies, it’ll be over. Let them find him slowly!”
Zhou Jia nodded and said, “That’s right. An emperor’s family is best at turning hostile and being heartless. Even if that’s an inhumane thing, killing and killing outsiders are two different things. We don’t want to take the credit.”
Li Yu smiled and kissed the corner of his lips. She lay on Zhou Jia’s chest and looked at him with a smile. “Ah Qing said that he remembers me saying that I like to travel.. He even said that when Yang’er and the others grow up, he’ll let you accompany me for a walk. When do you think you can go?”
Zhou Jia said gently, “Yu’er, I plan to wait for Yang’er to get married and get him to guide his brothers. Then, we can go out and take a look.”
Li Yu burst out laughing. “You really dare to think about letting Yang’er and his wife manage Yue’er and the Xing’er!”
Zhou Jia looked at her and said seriously, “Why not? Weren’t you the one who brought Ah Qing along back then? They’re countless times better than us!”
When Li Yu heard Zhou Jia’s words, she felt that what he said was not unreasonable. She was used to protecting the children and had forgotten that they were actually more outstanding than she had imagined. “Alright! Let’s talk about it after Yang’er gets married.”
“Yes! Let’s rest too!”
After a good night’s sleep, Zhou Jia left with Yangyang the next morning in high spirits.
After Li Yu ate, she brought the children to the garden to stretch and kick. After playing for a while, Granny Yang came to report that Chu Sihai had arrived.
Li Yu recalled Zhou Jia’s words the night before and smiled. “Invite him in.”
Granny Yang brought Chu Sihai to the front hall and Li Yu arrived. She looked at him and bowed with a smile. “Head Shopkeeper, thank you for getting someone to bring me a letter.”
“You’re being too polite!” Chu Sihai smiled and took a letter from his pocket and handed it to Li Yu. “Chu Shan asked someone to give this to you. It seems to be about your manor in Yunzhou.”
Seeing Chu Sihai’s expression, Li Yu felt that he should know something. She looked at him and asked. “Does the shopkeeper know what happened at the
manor in Yunzhou?”
Chu Sihai nodded. “I heard from someone who came back last year that after the Dragon Boat Festival last year, that Little Manager Yangs aunt’s family found him Yunzhou. The aunt and nephew reunited very intimately.”
“Manager Yang first arranged for them to work in the inn. Two months later, for some reason, he handed the inn to them to manage. After Scholar Liu argued with him a few times to no avail, Scholar Liu found Chu Shan and told him the situation.”
Li Yu nodded. “Thank you for telling me! Did you come to me today to send me a letter?”
Chu Sihai revealed a relaxed smile. “Let me tell you that all the bandits in the mountains have been wiped out. When the Fu County Prince brings Mr. Cheng’s group back from Le County, that matter will be over.
“We still have to thank you for finding the Yang brothers. It allowed us to destroy those bandits in the mountains.”
“We’re old friends.” Li Yu smiled and waved her hand. “Did you reward the Yang family? ”
“I remember everything you said! I saw that Yang Mu was meticulous and could endure hardship, so I introduced him to the Shanyang County Office as a constable. I heard from the person who brought him back that the Yang family was overjoyed.”
Li Yu gave him a thumbs up. “As expected of the Head Shopkeeper!”
“Hahaha!” Chu Sihai smiled and cupped his hands at Li Yu. “Thank you for your praise, Madam. If you want to send someone to Yunzhou, someone from the bank will go the day after tomorrow. He can leave with the people from the bank.”
“Alright.” Li Yu smiled and nodded. “I won’t stand on ceremony.”
“Look at what you’re saying. I’ll take my leave.” The two of them exchanged a few pleasantries before Zhao Cai came over to send Chu Sihai off.
Li Yu opened the letter. There were letters from Scholar Liu and Chu Shan.
The meaning of Chu Shan’s letter was: Lord Zhou, Madam Li, that Manager
Yang might have been blinded. That woman’s family was clearly a real piece of work. I suspected that the woman’s family had found out from somewhere and specially came to lie to him.
He was young and was cared for by others, so he thought that they really treated him as family.
Scholar Liu wrote: Master, Madam, the family of Manager Yang’s aunt often bullied the boys who went to the inn to work and ordered them around.
The children told Manager Yang, but he listened and believed his aunt. He said that the children were delicate and could not take hardship.
The children were really unable to continue working at the inn because of the Yang family’s aunt, so I recalled all the children back to the farm.
His aunt’s family was in charge of the inn but wanted to reach out to the manor to interfere in the marriage of those children in the manor.
They claimed that you had raised Manager Yang as your younger brother. You had all gone to the capital. The inn and manor in Yunzhou were left for Manager Yang. They had to help Manager Yang take care of his assets.
Li Yu laughed angrily after reading it. “You really don’t treat yourself as an outsider?” She put down the letter and said to Granny Yang, “Nanny, call Zhao
Cai over.”
Seeing Li Yu sitting there with a dark expression, Zhao Cai asked worriedly,
“Madam, what happened in Yunzhou?”
Li Yu pointed at the letter on the table. “Take a look!”
After reading it, Zhao Cai frowned and said, “I was still wondering! Why did the profits last year decrease by 20%? The tea leaves sent over are fine, but the quality of those mountain goods is much worse than in the past. So they’re helping him raise his ancestors!”
Zhao Cai thought for a moment. “Madam, can you let Ji Xiang make a trip?”
Li Yu nodded. “Alright, Ji Xiang can go. Let him bring Gu Yu back to her mother’s house to take a look.”
“Yes, Madam.’
Zhao Cai found Ji Xiang and said angrily, “This Yang Wei is too outrageous. He acknowledged a relative and brought her to the inn to stay. He even handed the inn to his relative to manage. Madam asked you to bring Gu Yu back and visit her mother’s house.”
Ji Xiang said angrily, “Master and Madam have been too generous to him. I think he treats his house as decoration! ”
Ji Xiang returned with Zhao Cai and said to Li Yu, “Madam, how should I deal with Yang Wei after I go?”
Li Yu said coldly, “Find what they’ve stolen and send that family to the government for investigation! The family rules are not for show. Sell Yang Wei to the salt mine to work according to the family rules.”
“Madam is right. That’s how it should be.” Ji Xiang looked at Li Yu. “Madam, who will take care of the inn?”
Li Yu thought for a moment. “Go over and see if any of the children on the farm can do it. If not, hire a shopkeeper and Mr. Liu can take care of it together. The rules are still the same.”
Ji Xiang bowed and agreed. ‘Yes, I’ll go back and tell Gu Yu about this first. We’ll set off after preparing.”
Li Yu nodded. “Alright, go to the bank and tell the Head Shopkeeper that you’ll leave with them.”
Two days later, Ji Xiang set off for Yunzhou with Gu Yu and the child..
