The next day, Li Fengqi arrived at the Gu family early in the morning to ask who the benefactor who came to look for him was.

Before he could figure it out, he was called to the accounting room by Butler Gu. Butler Gu took a money bag and handed it to him. “Mr. Li, my young master is going to study in a private school. Master has instructed me to give you half a year’s worth of tuition. Please find another job.”

Li Fengqi looked at Butler Gu in confusion. “Why is Young Master Gu going to a private school halfway? Did I do something wrong?”

Butler Gu cupped his hands politely. “No! No! Sir is very good. Master has other arrangements.”

Li Fengqi could only take the silver and follow the old woman out. When he was about to reach the door, he stuffed a piece of silver into the old woman’s hand. “Nanny, I want to ask you something. Which noble family came to look for me last time?”

The old woman pinched the silver and whispered, “Mr. Li, she’s an old woman serving Country Lord Ning. The steward of the Country Lord Ning has been found to have operated an underground bank and has been arrested by the government office. Country Lord Ning is going to be unlucky.”

Li Fengqi’s heart turned cold when he heard that. It was over. The Zhou family already knew that he had colluded with someone and wanted to kidnap his child. If Laidi gave up on him, the Zhou family would definitely not let him off.

Li Fengqi thought for a long time and decided to win Laidi’s heart back. He ran to the pharmacy to grab nourishing herbs and went to the jewelry shop to buy a hairpin. He went home and asked about Laidi.

Granny Chen saw that he had gone out for a walk and came back. It was as if he had become a different person. She felt that this person’s expression changed too quickly

You need me again..

Li Fengqi smiled awkwardly. “Madam, you’ve misunderstood me. My heart aches for our child and I couldn’t make sense of it. Look, I bought these things to apologize to you today.”

Laidi looked at him coldly. ‘You’d better pretend to be a grandson for the rest of your life, or just you wait!’

From that day onwards, Laidi mocked and ridiculed Li Fengqi who swallowed his anger towards Laidi.

The old woman said to Granny Chen in private, “In the past, it was Madam who pestered Master and wanted him to give her a good attitude. Now, it’s the other way around. ”

However, Granny Chen felt that there was no real affection in Young Master Li’s eyes. There was not even a smile in his eyes.

After a few days, Laidi said to Granny Chen, “Nanny, I’ve troubled you to take care of me for so long. I’m fine now. Please go back and tell my cousin that I won’t commit suicide. I’ll be fine.”

Seeing that she had almost recovered, Granny Chen nodded and said, “Alright,

Miss Cousin. If you need anything, you can get someone to bring a letter to Madam.”

After Granny Chen returned to the residence, she told Li Yu about Laidi’s family and sighed. “Madam, Miss’s husband is unreliable. How will Miss live with such a despicable person in her life?”

Li Yu replied indifferently, “Everyone has to take responsibility for their choices. In the future, it depends on whether she’s willing to let herself go and start over.”

Granny Chen muttered to herself, “Can Miss Cousin start over?” There was no such thing as a divorce in this world!

On the eighth of February, Li Yu finally completed her confinement. Zhou Jia invited his relatives and friends to celebrate.

Zhao Cai brought Old Master Zhou into the residence early in the morning. The old man looked at the child in the cradle and smiled with narrowed eyes. He took out two gold peppercorns from his pocket and handed them to Li Yu.

“Yangyang’s mother, take them. They’re teething sticks for the child.”

Li Yu smiled and took it. She bent her knees and bowed. “Thank you, Uncle.”

Old Master Zhou smiled and waved his hand. “Sigh! Why are you being so polite!”

“Yueyue, thank you, Uncle.” Li Yu smiled and tied the teething stick to the child’s wrist.

Mr. Wen looked at Old Master Zhou. “Come, help me take a look at the herbs I planted. I wonder why they don’t grow well?”

Old Master Zhou smiled proudly. “You’re good at treating illnesses, but I’m good at planting flowers and plants.”

“Alright, if you had done this earlier, your father wouldn’t have been so disappointed. ”

“My father won’t agree to me planting flowers and selling them!” The two elders chatted as they walked towards the back garden.

Li Qing and Fan Mingfang arrived at the Zhou family’s house early in the morning to help. After a while, Lin Zexu came with the family.

Lin Jia, Lin Yi, and Lin Lan’s wife, Madam Zheng, sent gifts for their children.

Madam Zheng and the others looked at the two babies sleeping soundly in the cradle. They gently touched the children’s pink faces and the small hands by their mouths.

Lin Jia whispered to Madam Zheng and Fan Mingfang, “Sister-in-law, Cousin-in-law, give us two more pairs of nephews as beautiful as the Yueyue and Xingxing!”

Fan Mingfang and Madam Zheng looked at each other and smiled without answering.

Madam Gong was afraid that the two of them would feel pressured. She looked at the two of them and said with a smile, “You’ve just gotten married. There’s no hurry. When the time comes, the child will naturally come.”

Li Qing and the Lin brothers helped welcome the guests outside. After a while, Zhou Jia’s colleagues from the Ministry of Revenue also came to the Zhou family to congratulate them.

Shen Zhong brought his Madam, Chu Qing, and Chu Fu to the Zhou family and gave them congratulatory gifts.

Madam Shen Zhong went forward and bowed to Li Yu with a smile. “Greetings, Madam.”

Seeing that she looked refined and delicate, but her movements were clean, Li

Yu smiled and said, “Madam He, please follow me in for a while.”

He Qiuxia smiled brightly and said, “I’ve long wanted to visit Madam. Last year, I returned to Tongzhou to visit my parents. I only returned to the capital at the beginning of the month. ”

Li Yu smiled. “Oh! Madam He is from Tongzhou.”

He Qiuxia smiled and nodded. “My father is a general under General Shen. Madam, Ah Zhong said that your martial arts are very outstanding. I rarely heard Ah Zhong admire any woman. I didn’t expect you to be so outstanding in everything.”

Li Yu smiled politely. “You’re flattering me. I only know a few fancy moves.

General Shen’s martial arts are really good.”

The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked in.

Zhou Jia welcomed Shen Zhong and the others into the main hall. Chu Qing smiled and said to Zhou Jia, “Lord Zhou, Head Shopkeeper and Chu Feng said that they can’t congratulate you personally and asked us to bring congratulatory gifts for them.

Zhou Jia smiled and cupped his hands in thanks. “Thank you! Thank you!”

Zhou Jia welcomed them in. Shen Zhong smiled and said to Zhou Jia, “Lord Zhou, you don’t have to be polite to us. Hurry up and prepare with Madam. A eunuch will come to your residence later. His Majesty wants to give the two young masters names.”

Zhou Jia smiled and cupped his hands at Shen Zhong. “Thank you, General

Shen.”

At this moment, Li Qing had already walked in with the eunuch. The eunuch smiled and said to Zhou Jia, “Lord Zhou and Madam Li will receive the decree.”

When Li Yu received the news, she also came out of the inner courtyard. The couple knelt down. The eunuch unfolded the imperial edict and read in a steady voice, “By the will of the heavens, the emperor has announced that he will bestow the name of the Assistant Minister of Revenue, Zhou Chenyue, Zhou Chenxing! ”

After Li Yu and Zhou Jia kowtowed to thank him, they took the imperial edict with both hands. The eunuch carrying the box beside them took a step forward and placed the box in Zhou Jia’s hand. “Lord Zhou, His Majesty is giving these two young masters something.”

His colleagues from the Ministry of Revenue looked at Zhou Jia enviously and were all thinking of befriending him..
