When the government office received the report, they hurriedly sent someone to Osmanthus Street and brought back Madam Gao’s corpse. They began to investigate Madam Gao’s background and realized that she had arrived in the capital two years ago. The household register certificate she had brought was fake.
When they visited her neighbors, they found that Madam Gao did not interact with anyone at all, and no one knew who she was interacting with.
The government office had no choice but to get someone to go to Osmanthus Street and keep an eye on Madam Gao’s residence.
When Zhou Jia returned from the government office, he told Li Yu about Yu Yan being locked up in the imperial family. He said, “Madam Yu was locked up first, and County Lieutenant Yu was kicked out of the capital government office. Even the Yu brothers, who were studying in the academy, were chased out by the academy.”
Li Yu didn’t expect Yu Yan to become a prisoner from a county princess in just a day. Retribution came too quickly!
“Yu Yan and her mother both fell under a medicine because they were insufficient and had ulterior motives. It’s really a cycle of karma.”
Zhou Jia nodded and said to Li Yu, “You’re right. His Majesty feels that the
Second Prince’s people were behind the pill incident. I don’t know where the
Second Prince’s people are hiding. Looks like the capital isn’t stable either.”
Li Yu frowned and said, “Hasn’t there been any news from the people following
General Zou?”
Zhou Jia shook his head. “A few days ago, His Majesty even mentioned this matter. He said that General Zou brought his family back to their original place. They didn’t detect anything wrong! ”
“A fox will reveal its tail sooner or later. Just be patient and keep an eye on it.
Let’s go to the old residence to see Old Master first!”
“Yes! When Yang’er finishes his homework, let’s bring him along.”
Zhou Jia and Li Yu brought Yangyang to the old residence. Old Master Zhou chatted with Yangyang for a while and said that he had something to say to Zhou Jia and his wife before letting Yangyang go out to play.
Old Master Zhou looked at Zhou Jia. “Jiahe and wife, I want to transfer the house deed of the old residence to your names.”
Zhou Jia refused flatly. “That won’t do. I’m no longer under your name. If it’s not legitimate, there will be more trouble in the future.”
Old Master Zhou looked at Zhou Jia and Li Yu. “Listen to me first. If this house falls into Zhou Xin’s hands, he will sell it for money in less than a year. What I mean is, call the Zhou brothers over. Buy them a house each and let them have a place to stay. It would be considered as you having bought this house.”
Zhou Jia and Li Yu didn’t want the old residence. They felt that this place was rotten.
Old Master Zhou frowned and said, “You really don’t want this house?”
Zhou Jia nodded. “Uncle, to be honest, I don’t like the old residence. We’ve already bought the manor outside the city. I think you can stay in the manor. There’s a hot spring there and it’s good for you to plant flowers. Just give the old residence to the brothers!”
When Old Master Zhou heard this, he lowered his head. “Let me think about it. I’m fine. Go back and rest.”
Zhou Jia replied, “Alright, we’ll go back first. Zhao Cai is here. Tell him if you need anything.”
Old Master Zhou thought for a few days and decided to split the residence into three according to Zhou Jia’s instructions. The father and son each entered the courtyard and got Zhao Cai to hire people to build the wall to separate the residence. He would move to the farm to raise flowers and sell them.
The people guarding Osmanthus Street guarded until the end of the year, but they did not manage to capture anyone. The secret guards watching General Zou did not notice any abnormal movements from him. The Second Prince’s men were like poisonous snakes that had entered hibernation and were hiding somewhere.
After the new year, Fan Mingfang gave birth to Li Qing’s eldest son, Li Lin.
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, another year passed. Li Qing’s eldest son, Li Lin, was also more than a year old. Li Yu’s twins were also three years old.
After the new year, Li Qing received the appointment from Outreach County early in the morning. He took the appointment letter to the Zhou family and told Li Yu about his release. He smiled and said, “Sister, Le County is only half a month away from the capital. If you have the time, go there and visit me.”
When Li Yu heard that the capital was only half a month away from Le County, she felt that it was convenient to travel there. She smiled and nodded. “Alright, when you’re settled, I’ll go to Le County to see you. Are you leaving with your wife, or are you going alone?”
Li Qing smiled and said, “I came to look for you after getting the appointment letter. I haven’t gone home to tell Wanwan yet. She did say before the new year that she would go with me wherever I went.”
“Yes! The couple should be together. Dong’er is too young. You have to be careful on the way,” Li Yu instructed worriedly.
“Got it. I’ll go back and tell Wanwan the news.” Li Qing walked to the door and turned back. “Sister, the Spring Quarter Examination is about to start. Is there any news from Laidi?”
“I haven’t heard from her these days. Has she come for Dong’er’s first birthday?”
Li Qing nodded. “She was here. She even gave me a small golden lock and some clothes, shoes, and socks. Laidi told me that her relationship with Li Fengqi is very tense. I’m afraid something will happen to her.”
“She didn’t tell me any of this. I’ll get Ji Xiang to take a look.”
Li Qing bade farewell and left. Yueyue and Xingxing ran into the house one after another. The two little fellows were already more than two years old and were as good-looking as dolls.
Yueyue pulled Li Yu’s collar. “Mother, I want to bring my brother out to play.”
Li Yu pinched his little nose and smiled. “Are you bringing him out to play? I think it’s more like him bringing you.”
“Yes! Brother is stupid. He’ll be sold,” Xingxing said primly.
Yueyue immediately exercised his brother’s authority. He placed his hands on his hips and looked at the Xingxing. “I am your brother. You can’t talk about me like that.”
Xingxing said slowly, “You’re already more than two years old, yet you can’t even differentiate between an older brother and a younger one. I think you’re the younger brother.”
“Yes, yes. If you don’t believe me, ask Mother.” Yueyue blushed and jumped up and down.
Xingxing glanced at him. “Hmph! I’m going to ignore you. I’m going fishing by the lotus pond.”
Xingxing turned around and left. Yueyue looked at him and then at Li Yu before turning around to chase after him.
Li Yu looked at the two little fellows with a headache. Ever since the two of them learned how to run, they behaved like this every day!
Li Yu asked Granny Yang to go to the storeroom to get a few pieces of cloth and some supplements and handed them to Ji Xiang to bring to Laidi’s house.
When Ji Xiang arrived at Laidi’s house, he saw the old woman alone in the courtyard. “Is your Madam here?”
The old woman glanced at Ji Xiang and walked to his side. She whispered,
“In-law, come out with me for a moment.’
Ji Xiang nodded and followed her out of the courtyard. The old woman pulled the door closed and whispered to Ji Xiang, “Manager, my Madam has a strong personality and doesn’t like to tell her family about her hardships, but when will her tough life end?”
Ji Xiang was confused by the old woman’s random words.. “Grandma, what happened to Miss? Could it be that Young Master Li abused her and hit her?”
