Chapter Summary
After telling him what had happened in the past few days, she said to him, “Xiao Xi, I don’t think they only have Liang Village as a stronghold. Manor Head Chi said that he brought people over a few mountain ridges in the past and reached the only way to enter the capital in Liangzhou. ” After Chu Sihai bade farewell and left, Li Yu called Ji Xiang over and said to him, “Go to Laidi’s house and tell her that Li Fengqi has fallen into a fraud case.
Chapter 557: Hooking Up Li Yu leaned into Zhou Jia’s arms.
After telling him what had happened in the past few days, she said to him, “Xiao Xi, I don’t think they only have Liang Village as a stronghold.
There are endless mountain ridges in Liang Village.
Manor Head Chi said that he brought people over a few mountain ridges in the past and reached the only way to enter the capital in Liangzhou.
He robbed those passing merchants there.
“He said that everything he robbed was transported back to the capital.
I think he’s lying.
I guess there’s a larger stronghold nearby that needs a lot of money to support the people inside.
Otherwise, why would he get someone to rob so much money?
” Zhou Jia nodded and said, “Manor Head Chi isn’t even afraid of death.
How can he tell us everything he knows after he wakes up?
I think his words are mixed in truth and lies.
Most importantly, he still hasn’t explained it clearly.
Tomorrow morning, His Majesty might send someone to see you and hear your opinion.
” “That’s my opinion.
” Li Yu looked up at Zhou Jia.
“Xiao Xi, I forgot to ask Ji Xiang in Liang Village these two days.
How’s the investigation on Li Fengqi?
Zhou Jia nodded and said, “I asked Uncle Zhou to ask around.
He has already entered the examination hall and is living near that private school now.
I heard that he hooked up with a woman who entered the capital to look for her relatives.
Uncle Zhou even said that the woman is not ordinary.
” Li Yu said in a low voice, “Since Laidi has already made up her mind to divorce him, we don’t have to be polite to that guy in the future.
We have to settle the score with him.
’ “Yes!
We’ll settle the score with him.
” Zhou Jia kissed Li Yu dotingly and hugged her as he lay down.
The next morning, Li Yu woke up late for once.
When she woke up, she saw Yueyue and Xingxing lying on the edge of the bed.
Seeing Li Yu open her eyes, Yueyue scratched her cheek with his chubby fingers.
“Mother is a lazy pig.
Yueyue and Brother have long woken up.
” “Mother isn’t a little lazy pig.
She’s a big lazy pig,” Xingxing corrected Yueyue.
Yueyue nodded.
“Yes!
Mother is a big lazy pig.
” Li Yu smiled at the two babies and touched their faces.
“Alright, I’m a big lazy pig.
Yueyue is a little lazy pig.
The big lazy pig will get up immediately to eat with the little lazy pig.
’ “Mother, you’re a lazy pig, but Yue’er isn’t.
” Yueyue pouted.
Xingxing grabbed Li Yu’s hand.
“Mother, hurry up.
Granny Liu made soup dumplings.
They’re delicious!
” Li Yu got out of bed and kissed the two of them.
“I haven’t washed up yet!
Baby, wait for me, okay?
” “Yes!
We’ll feed the fish with Granny Chen first.
” With that, she pulled Yueyue’s hand and ran out.
When Li Yu went to the bathroom to wash up, the two little fellows had already sat at the dining table.
Old Madam Liu, Aunt Zhang, and the others served millet porridge, buns, eggs, and side dishes.
The two children fed themselves.
Old Madam Liu and the others left.
Li Yu picked up a small steamed bun for each of them and placed it on a plate.
“It’s delicious.
You’ll grow taller after eating it.
” “Yes!
Mother should eat some too,” the brothers replied in unison.
Before the three of them could finish eating, Granny Yang came in and reported, ‘Madam, Shopkeeper Chu requests an audience.
” Li Yu didn’t expect Chu Sihai to come so early in the morning.
“Oh!
Hurry up and invite him to the living room to sit for a while.
I’ll be there later.
” Xingxing looked at Li Yu curiously.
“Mother, what does the shopkeeper do?
” “Shopkeeper.
” Li Yu organized her words.
“Shopkeeper is someone who helps various shops manage their businesses.
” “Oh!
Is it like the one selling osmanthus cakes?
” “Smart.
I’m done eating.
I’m going to receive the guest.
” Li Yu stood up and glanced at Xingxing, who was eating steamed buns, and Yueyue, who was eating porridge.
“Babies, eat slowly and finish the food in your bowl.
Don’t leave anything behind!
” “Got it,” they said together again.
Li Yu smiled and arrived at the living room in the front courtyard.
When Chu Sihai saw Li Yu, he hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands with a smile.
“Madam Li, I’m sorry to disturb you early in the morning.
” Li Yu smiled and said, “Shopkeeper, why are you so polite?
Have you eaten breakfast?
” Chu Sihai smiled and nodded.
“I’ve eaten.
I came to ask you for a favor and an advice.
” “Head Shopkeeper, please sit down and talk.
You really don’t have to be so polite.
” Li Yu smiled.
Chu Sihai cupped his hands and sat on a chair.
“I want to ask you for the Truth Pills you gave those bandits last time.
I also want to ask you for your opinion on what happened in Liang Village.
” “Truth Pill…” Li Yu thought for a moment before remembering that it was a pill concocted by Mr.
Wen in Qingchuan to interrogate people.
He smiled and said, “I really don’t have this thing at the moment, but Sir has the formula.
Head Shopkeeper, that thing was concocted with a few hallucinogenic herbs.
” “If the person you want to interrogate has a strong mental fortitude, it won’t be easy for him to fall into an illusion.
It’s also very easy for him to lead you astray.
You have to be careful about this.
” “I’ll take note,” Chu Sihai replied respectfully.
“Madam Li, I wonder if you still…’ “My opinion of Liang Village is… send someone to those relatively hidden mountain ridges to investigate as soon as possible.
” “Yes, thank you, Madam Li.
There’s something else you might not know.
Your cousin-in-law, Li Fengqi, has been involved in a fraud case and is already being monitored by our people.
” Li Yu was not surprised at all when she heard that.
“Li Fengqi is extremely concerned about fame and fortune.
He’s willing to do anything for fame and fortune.
He even thinks that he’s smart and treats others as fools.
” “There’s something you might not know yet.
Li Fengqi has moved out of the small courtyard of the Tongzhou Guild Hall for more than a year.
Before he left, he even left the divorce letter for Laidi.
Laidi has already signed the divorce letter and agreed to divorce him.
” No wonder he lived outside.
He thought Li Fengqi had a mistress.
Chu Sihai was enlightened when he heard that.
He said in relief, “Madam Li, Miss Cousin-in-law has finally made the right decision.
I think those people want to drag Scholar Lin and your family into this mess.
Since you no longer have anything to do with him, we won’t have any scruples.
” Li Yu smiled and nodded.
“That’s right!
It’s precisely because of Laidi that we’ve been wary in the past few years.
You don’t have to be polite.
Go ahead and investigate and find those despicable people hiding behind the scenes.
” “Alright, Madam Li.
Where can I find Mr.
Wen?
” “Sir is in the medical center.
He didn’t come back last night.
Just go to the medical center to look for him.
” After Chu Sihai bade farewell and left, Li Yu called Ji Xiang over and said to him, “Go to Laidi’s house and tell her that Li Fengqi has fallen into a fraud case.
Ask her to hand the divorce letter to you and bring it back to the residence.
” “Yes, Madam.
” Ji Xiang left in a hurry.
Madam Gong, Fan Mingfang, and Lin Jia arrived at the Zhou family one after another.
When Madam Gong saw Li Yu, she patted her reproachfully.
“Why are you so bold?
Fortunately, you came back safe and sound.
” Fan Mingfang also looked at Li Yu and said, “Sister, you can’t take risks like this in the future.
” Lin Jia patted her chest.
“Yes!
Cousin-in-law is right.
Cousin, you scared us to death.
” Li Yu looked at Madam Gong and the others who were looking at her with concern and said apologetically, “Aunt, Sister-in-law, Cousin, I was rash and made you worry..
