After lunch, Li Yu brought the two children to Li Qing’s house.

Fan Mingfang brought the two old women to pack the large ornaments that were no longer needed into the box. They would unwrap them after returning to the capital.

Li Qing’s eldest son, Li Lin, stood under the eaves with the cloth tiger in his arms.

Seeing Li Yu come with his two cousins, he ran towards the three of them and shouted, “Mother, Auntie brought my brothers here to play.”

Li Lin looked more like Fan Mingfang. He was a fair and chubby child with flushed cheeks. He had two towering braids on his head and was wearing red pants. His eyebrows were as exquisite as a little girl’s.

“Cousin.” Yueyue and Xingxing smiled and went forward. Xingxing was afraid that he would hurt his cousin. He walked over and stood there motionless. Yueyue looked at Li Lin and giggled. He went forward and hugged him.

Li Yu looked at the happy children and patted his head with a smile. “Dong’er, where’s Mother?”

Li Lin looked up at Li Yu and said in a childish voice, “Auntie, Mother is packing.”

Li Yu smiled and nodded. “Alright, go ahead!”

Fan Mingfang came out of the house and greeted Li Yu affectionately, “Sister, you’re here!”

Li Yu smiled and nodded. “Yes! I came to see how you were packing. Where’s Ah

Qing?”

“A colleague from Ah Qing’s Hanlin Academy invited him out for a meal to bid him farewell.”

Fan Mingfang welcomed Li Yu to the central room and sat down. “Ah Qing asked the Head Shopkeeper to help bring letters to Father, Mother, and Brother yesterday to save them the trouble of bringing letters back to the capital.”

Li Yu looked at her and felt a little reluctant. “It’s very difficult for everyone to reunite once in the past few years.”

Fan Mingfang looked at Li Yu and thought that they were about to part. She said reluctantly, “Sister, visit us in Le County when you’re free.”

Li Yu nodded readily. “Alright, Yue’er and Xing’er will enter school next year. I’ll visit you.”

Fan smiled. “Alright, we’ll wait for you.”

Li Yu chatted with Fan Mingfang at Li Qing’s house for a while and helped categorize the things before bringing the two children home.

Ji Xiang and Uncle Zhou had already returned to the residence. When Uncle Zhou saw Li Yu, he smiled and said, “Madam, in the future, when you see suitable fields near the capital, you have to buy more and prepare them for the three young masters

“It’s not easy to buy a farm near the capital. I also got someone to keep an eye out for one. Don’t worry, as soon as there’s news, I’ll get Ji Xiang to buy it.”

“Alright, I’ll get Little Loach and the others to pack up.” Uncle Zhou thought for a moment. “Madam, have Little Loach and the others been given their names?” Li Yu shook her head. “Not yet! When Yangyang comes back, let him name them.”

“Alright, I’ll take my leave.” Uncle Zhou left with a smile.

Granny Yang suddenly sighed and said, “Old people are all like this. They can’t wait to leave the child with endless wealth for a few lifetimes. They’re just afraid that the child will live a hard life.”

Li Yu nodded and thought to herself, “Children have their own blessings. If a child has the ability, he doesn’t have to inherit many. If he doesn’t have the ability, no matter how many he has, he can squander them. Old Master Zhou is a ready-made example. Although he only started to wake up when it was time, it’s still considered good. Some of them lost all their assets and died in poverty. ”

The two children took a shower and changed their clothes. Xing Hua and Granny Chen brought them to the back garden to play.

Li Yu went to the front yard and saw Zhou Jia entering the courtyard with an aggrieved Yangyang.

When Yangyang saw Li Yu, she ran over and shouted aggrievedly, “Mother…”

Li Yu looked at him and said gently, “What’s wrong? Did you quarrel with your friend?”

Yangyang walked into the courtyard silently. Zhou Jia smiled and said, “No, the Young brat fought with General Shen’s daughter. He was unhappy about losing!”

Yangyang turned around and looked at Li Yu. “Mother, I didn’t lose. You don’t know that brat Shen Jie pestered me to compete with me after entering the palace. I thought that since she was a girl, I would show mercy. Who knew that she would use dirty tricks and even quibble that all’s fair in war!”

Seeing his expression, Li Yu was amused. “The young lady is right! There’s nothing wrong with deception on the battlefield. If you’re on the battlefield, why are you still talking about fairness?!”

“Mother, you say that too.” Yangyang looked at Li Yu aggrievedly and said to himself, ” Brat, I’ll definitely teach you a lesson next time.”

Li Yu smiled at him. “Alright, don’t be angry. I know that my eldest son is a magnanimous man and deliberately gave in to a little girl.”

Yangyang shook her head angrily. “She’s not a little girl. She’s a—a hag.”

Li Yu said seriously, “Yang’er, we can’t say that about her. A loss is a loss. Even if she used a scheme and won unfairly, you still lost.”

“I can stop talking about that hag.” Yangyang looked at Li Yu, still a little unconvinced. “If she fights me again, I won’t give in to her again.”

Li Yu looked at him and said, “If she challenges you again, you’ll defeat her a

little. However, she’s a girl. You have to save her some face.”

“Oh! I’m going to take a shower.” Yangyang walked unhappily toward the bathroom.

The couple watched him walk forward with his head lowered. They looked at each other and smiled and shook their heads.

Zhou Jia smiled and said, “The child has grown up. He feels a little embarrassed that he lost to a girl today after practicing for so long.”

Li Yu felt that it made sense. She smiled and said, “As long as they don’t deliberately cause trouble and bully others, let them be. Children will reconcile the next day after a fight.”

After the two of them returned to the house and sat down, Zhou Jia said to Li Yu, “Tie Zhu told me today that he wants to marry Xing Hua. I think the two of them are quite compatible. What do you think of them?”

“So this kid has long taken a fancy to Xing Hua. Granny Yang even said to make them a couple today. Let me ask Xing Hua.”

“Alright.” Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu. “Shen Zhong captured two people in the

Ministry of Revenue today. Those two people don’t have high positions and are in charge of physical things. They’re never picky when it comes to work. I didn’t expect them to have been arranged by that person to be in the capital. Thinking about it, they’ve been operating in the capital for so many years, so it’s not strange. After all, there are many people who want to be conferred the title of marquis.”

Li Yu sneered. “That’s true. As the saying goes, a man’s heart is insatiable.”

Zhou Jia lowered his voice. “I think that the six departments might have been planted by that person. Ever since those two were captured, the atmosphere in the Ministry of Revenue has begun to be a little strange. After dinner, no one goes to the backyard to chat. All of them are hiding in the government office.”

Li Yu said bluntly, “As long as they don’t have any guilt in their hearts, what’s there to worry about? Those hidden people have already begun to disturb the peace of the capital. Think about it. First, the Five Stone Powder was exposed by Duke Fuls family by a freak combination of factors. After being silent for two years, they tampered with the Spring Quarter Examination. Also, about the matters in Liang Village, that person is a person who will do anything to achieve his goals.. If the world really falls into his hands, will the people still be able to survive?”
