Elder Madam Gong thought for a moment and said, “Is this the Su family in Liangzhou?”

Madam Gong nodded. “It’s his family. His family is in the fur business. I heard that their businesses are all over Great Yong.”

Elder Madam Gong clicked her tongue. “No wonder she’s covered in pearls. She’s married to his family.”

Madam Gong nodded. “Yes! Ever since that incident, our two families have never interacted. Today, she came to greet us and kept staring at Ah Yu. What good things can happen to someone like her who doesn’t wake up early without benefits!”

Li Yu listened to the two of them gossip and looked at a delicate little girl by the lake. She was carrying a snow-white kitten and following behind her was a little girl with a raised nose. She walked towards the pavilion.

Madam Gong also saw her and smiled. “This girl is really good-looking.”

Li Yu smiled and nodded. “Yes! She makes me happy.”

The little girl walked into the pavilion and bowed to the three of them. She widened her almond-shaped eyes and looked at Li Yu curiously. “Madam, are you Zhou Chenxi’s mother?”

Li Yu looked at her and suddenly understood who she was. She nodded with a smile. “I’m Zhou Chenxi’s mother. Are you Miss Shen?”

Shen Jie blushed like the peach petals in the peach forest and nodded. “Yes, Madam.’

The Gong sisters looked at Shen Jie curiously. Li Yu smiled and asked, “Miss Shen, why are you looking for me?”

Shen Jie looked at Li Yu and bit her lip for a moment. She looked at Li Yu with a

red face. ‘Madam Li, I heard from Ah Zhu that you taught Zhou Chenxi martial arts. I also want to learn martial arts from you, okay?”

“Ah Zhu?” Li Yu felt that it should be someone’s nickname. “Most of Yangyang’s martial arts were taught by his uncles. I rarely teach him.”

When Shen Jie heard this, she felt a little down. She bowed politely to them. “I understand, Madam Li. Madams, sorry to disturb you.”

Li Yu looked at her obedient appearance and couldn’t imagine her chasing after Yangyang to compete. She even hugged Yangyang and bit him. She smiled and said, “It’s fine, Miss Shen. It’s nice to meet you.”

When Shen Jie heard this, she looked at Li Yu with sparkling eyes. “Madam Li, I’m also very happy to know you!” With that, she smiled at Li Yu and turned to leave.

Madam Gong watched Shen Jie walk away and said with a smile, “As expected of the daughter of a general. She’s so obedient that she actually likes martial arts.”

Li Yu nodded. “Yes.”

Elder Madam Gong said, “The banquet is about to start. Let’s not wait for them to invite us. Let’s go back!”

The two of them nodded and went back to sit for a while. Soon, the banquet began.

Li Yu wanted to go to Liang Village to take a look. After leaving the banquet, she bade farewell to Madam Luo and left.

Madam Wu sent Li Yu and the Gong sisters out. After saying goodbye with a smile, Madam Gong took a carriage back.

Madam Gong and Li Yu got into a carriage. Li Yu said to Madam Gong, “I bought the remaining fields in Liang Village and plan to go to Liang Village to take a look. Do you want to go to the farm with me for a few days?”

Madam Gong shook her head and said to Li Yu happily, “I’ll go with you in the future. Your cousin-in-law is pregnant. Sigh! She’s finally pregnant.

Li Yu was also happy for Madam Gong and held her hand. “Aunt, you’re really a

good mother-in-law.”

Madam Gong smiled and said, “I’m also worried! Seeing that she’s worried about having children, if I force her again, wouldn’t I be forcing her to die?

We’re all women!”

“That’s right! They’re all women, but how many of them can do it?”

Li Yu really admired Madam Gong. She felt that she was open-minded and knew how to think for others, but she was not saintly.

Li Yu sent Madam Gong back to the Lin residence before heading back. Just as she reached home and changed into a comfortable dress, Xing Hua sat outside and reported, “Madam, a Madam sent an invitation to see you.”

“Did the person say which Madam she is?” Li Yu walked to the door in her slippers and asked.

Xing Hua handed the invitation to Li Yu. “She said that she’s your cousin.”

Li Yu took a look and saw that it said: Madam Chen Lin, Wen Ning… Li Yu closed the invitation and placed it in Xing Hua’s hand. “Tell her not to come again. I won’t see her.”

“Yes, Madam.” Xing Hua took the invitation and went out to tell Granny Yang what Li Yu had said.

After Granny Yang nodded in agreement, she went outside and smiled politely at Madam Lin, who was waiting in the carriage. “Madam Lin, my Madam asked us to tell you that she won’t see you.”

When Madam Lin heard this, she forced a smile and said, “Nanny, does Madam have any misunderstanding about me? I can explain to her in person.”

Granny Yang took two steps back and bowed. “Madam Lin, please!”

Madam Gong must be behind this. Madam Lin suppressed the anger in her heart and smiled at the respectful and polite Granny Yang. She knocked on the wall of the carriage. The coachman waved his whip and the carriage started.

Granny Yang turned around and walked back. A dignified man dressed as a scholar walked up to Granny Yang and cupped his hands. “Granny, may I ask if this is Assistant Minister Zhou’s residence?”

Granny Yang bent her knees in return. “Yes, may I ask your name?

The man cupped his hands and said, “My surname is Qi and my name is

Zhanpeng. I’m here to pay my respects to Lord Zhou and Mr. Wen.”

Granny Yang smiled and said, “Master hasn’t left the government office yet. Old Master is at the West Street Medical Hall in the West City and hasn’t returned. ”

“Thank you, Granny. I’ll go to the West City to look for Sir.” Qi Zhanpeng cupped his hands and thanked Granny Yang before turning to leave.

Qi Zhanpeng found the medical center and saw Mr. Wen sitting there, treating people. He saw that his gray hair had turned silver.

Seven Pounds saw Qi Zhanpeng standing at the door and looked at Mr. Wen with red eyes. He went forward and cupped his hands. “Young Master, do you want to see a doctor or get medicine?”

Qi Zhanpeng smiled and shook his head. “I’m here to see Sir.”

Seven Pounds looked at the attentive teacher. “Sir, there’s still a while. Young

Master, please come in and sit for a while.”

“Thank you, little brother.” Qi Zhanpeng cupped his hands and thanked him. He handed the gift box in his hand to Seven Pounds and sat at the side to wait for Mr. Wen.

After Mr. Wen finished tending to the last patient, Qi Zhanpeng went forward and bowed. “Greetings, sir.”

Mr. Wen looked at him in surprise and asked repeatedly, “Xiao Qi, you came to the capital to take the exam! How did you do? Why are you only looking for me now? Go to the backyard and sit down.”

“Yes, Mr. Wen.” Qi Zhanpeng followed Mr. Wen to the backyard. After the two of them sat down, the servant served tea and left.

Qi Zhanpeng looked at Mr. Wen and blushed slightly. He said, “I entered the capital at the bezinninz of the vear and was luckv to zet on the rankinzs.”

“Alright, alright. Is your mother alright? Are you married?” Mr. Wen smiled happily.

When Qi Zhanpeng heard this, his eyes turned red. “My mother is no longer around. I haven’t found someone suitable to be my wife.”

“Sigh!” Mr. Wen sighed and stood up to pat his shoulder. He comforted him.

“Now that you’re on the rankings, you can comfort your parents in heaven.

Take your time to find your wife.”

“Thank you, sir.” Qi Zhanpeng bowed.

Mr. Wen smiled at him and said, “I’ve been so busy that I haven’t eaten anything. Accompany me for a simple meal.” Qi Zhanpeng agreed respectfully..
