After the two of them returned to the house, Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia unhappily. “Xiao Xi, I'm already a month into my confinement. Yet you still want me to eat these salt-free and light things. I can't even taste anything anymore. When I'm done with one month of confinement, you'll do it for two months.”
Zhou Jia smiled and said ingratiatingly, “Yu'er, hold on for another half a month. I'll eat with you from tomorrow onwards.”
Li Yu smiled and patted Zhou Jia. “Silly! I was just nagging, but you took it seriously! ”
Zhou Jia bowed and smiled. 'Madam's heart aches for me. I'm extremely grateful. I'll go out and see if Zhao Cai and Ruyi are back.”
Li Yu nodded. “Go! Come back and I'll tell you something!”
When Zhou Jia arrived at the outer courtyard, Ruyi and Zhao Cai had already returned to the residence. Zhao Cai said, “Master, they went to a small house in an alley behind General Street. Let's ask tomorrow who owns that house?”
“General Street.” Zhou Jia thought for a moment. “Ning Xiangjun lives there. She must have sent these two people. Watch secretly. Who are the people entering and leaving that house? Tell me the name and number of the alley. I'll go to the government office to investigate who owns that house.”
Zhao Cai agreed. “Yes, Master. Little Loach, Mao Dou, and the others have been following Li Fengqi for a few days, but they haven't found anyone who has interacted with him. Should we continue following?”
Zhou Jia nodded and said, “After following him for a few more days, I think someone will look for him.”
After Zhou Jia discussed it with Ruyi and Zhao Cai, he returned to the backyard.
Seeing that Li Yu was still waiting for him, he sat beside her and said gently, “What do you want to tell me?”
Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia. “Xiao Xi, I realized that Xingxing might be like me.”
“What's the same?” Zhou Jia didn't react for a moment. A moment later, he looked at Li Yu. “Yu'er, do you mean that Xing'er is born with divine strength like you?”
Li Yu nodded. “After the children get to 45 days old, their swaddles are removed. Xing'er was lazy and didn't like to cry or move. When Yueyue was bathed today, that young brat cried non-stop, causing Xing'er to lose his temper.
Granny Chen and Auntie He couldn't hold him. After calling me over to coax him, they realized that the child had scratched a few holes in Granny Chen's sleeves.”
Zhou Jia looked at Xing'er on the bed in surprise. Such a young child actually had such strength.
“Were the sleeves old?”
Li Yu brought the garment over and placed it in front of Zhou Jia. “Look, the garment's new.”
Zhou Jia saw that the cloth on the chest was indeed torn. Zhou Jia stood up and walked over to hug Li Yu. He laughed foolishly. “Haha! It's quite good! After three children, we finally have a child who has inherited your divine power.
Let's buy a piglet for him to hug in the future.”
When Li Yu heard him recall Li Mei's anecdote of Li Yu's father making her carrying a piglet when she was young. She felt that it might be Father Li's way of exhausting the Host's strength.
Li Yu turned to look at Little Xing'er, who was sleeping soundly with his small hand by his mouth. Thinking of how he was lazily carrying the piglet, she also smiled. “Xing'er is so lazy. Who knows if he's willing to carry the piglet?”
“We'll think of a way when the time comes.” Zhou Jia smiled and touched the two children who were sleeping together. “I think we have to let them sleep separately. If this little thing gets angry, it'll be troublesome if he gives Yueyue a kick. ”
Li Yu patted her head. “That's right! I'm really stupid. How could I have forgotten about this?”
“Silly!” Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu and smiled.
The couple discussed it and went to bed to rest.
When the Gong sisters and Fan Mingfang's aunt attended a banquet, they told their relatives and friends what had happened to Li Yu and her brother when they were young. Everyone sighed when they heard that. The Li siblings' encounter quickly spread among the Madams.
Some said that Father Li was blind and deaf. Marrying his daughter to the Zhang family was inviting thieves to the family.
Some people didn't expect Madam Li to be so weak and muddle-headed when she was young. Fortunately, she had her dead parents to protect her. Otherwise, her grave would have been covered in weeds by now.
Some people said with ill intentions that Li Yu had lived with the Zhang family for a few years. Who knew what had happened? Otherwise, why would she stay in the Zhang family and almost be killed before coming to her senses?
Someone else said that they should ask if the Zhang family had suffered retribution. Such an ungrateful family should be punished by the heavens.
Li Yu calculated the full month of the children's birth at home and observed Little Xingxing. She confirmed that this lazy pig had really inherited the Li family's divine power.
Ji Xiang and Han San did not find out that the underground bank in North City was related to Country Lord Ning.
Zhao Cai and Ruyi realized that the house in the back alley of General Street looked inconspicuous, but it was actually heavily guarded. There were a few roving dogs in the front and backyard. The courtyard was guarded day and night.
Ruyi and Zhao Cai had followed the fake peddler and the candied hawthorn seller for two days and realized that they were wandering around the Lin Clan School and the Zhou family's generation. They were certain that they wanted to attack Yangyang.
At dusk, Ruyi, Zhao Cai, Ji Xiang, and Han San attacked and blocked the two of them in the alley. The peddler and the candied hawthorn seller looked at the four people blocking them in panic.
The candied hawthorn shouted sternly, “What do you want in broad daylight?”
“Hmph!” Ruyi snorted and leaned forward. He slapped his chest and Zhao Cai kicked him over. “How dare you have designs on my young master? You're tired of living! ”
“Don't waste your breath on him. Take him in.”
Ruyi picked up the candied hawthorn seller and walked back with Zhao Cai's help. Ji Xiang and Han San had already put the peddler down. They dragged the two of them into the back door and locked them in the cellar.
Zhou Jia, Li Yu, and Zhao Cai went to the cellar. The candied hawthorn seller looked at the two of them and asked fiercely, “What right do you have to arrest us? Can officials do whatever they want?”
Zhou Jia looked at the peddler and candied hawthorn seller tied to the pillar coldly and said, “Chop off their hands and send them to the Country Lord
Ning's residence.”
Zhao Cai stepped forward with a knife. The peddler hurriedly shouted, “Lord
Zhou, please spare us. We were following orders. We have no choice!”
Li Yu raised her hand to stop Zhao Cai. “I'm following orders! Tell me! What does Country Lord Ning want you to do? Where is your underground bank?”
The peddler glanced at the candied hawthorn, who glared at him. “Useless thing, good-for-nothing…”
The peddler stammered, “We were ordered to capture your young master. My
Madam didn't open a bank.”
The candied hawthorn looked at them. “Wretched official, you want to slander my Madam. You'll die a horrible death.”
“He's still very loyal to that vicious woman!” Zhou Jia turned to look at Zhao Cai. “There's no need to be polite to him. Let's start with the thumbs and continue..”
