“You even thought of this. My wife is smarter than others.” Zhou Jia kissed Li Yu happily. “They also thought of this method. Tomorrow, there will be news that the Eldest Prince and his wife are sick.

His Majesty will decree for the head of the Cheng family to come to the capital to visit the Eldest Prince and his wife. As the imperial envoy, I will arrive in Yuezhou with the person who decreed. The secret guards will cooperate with me to secretly search for evidence.”

Ll YU ronea ner eyes at mm. “Don’t curry ravor, Ingratiate! 1 Glan?t say It, were you not planning to tell me? You’ve learned how to keep half of what you say to me!”

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu with an aggrieved expression. “Madam, I’m innocent! I never thought of hiding it from you. I was just afraid that you would be worried. ”

Seeing his strange look, Li Yu smiled and kissed him on the lips. “Alright! I believe you. When are you leaving? Go and tell Ruyi and Zhao Cai first. They also have to go home and tell their wives. I’ll go find Sir to prepare some pills for you. Bring them with you.”

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu reluctantly. “We’ll set off tomorrow at nine. I’ll go find

Sir to get the pills and find Ruyi, Zhao Cai, and Ji Xiang to tell them about this.”

Li Yu nodded. “Go! There’s only one night left. Tell them earlier and let them go back and prepare.”

Li Yu watched Zhou Jia stride out of the door and said to herself, “It seems that Chu Yuhao has long planned to send Xiao Xi to Yuezhou. Yuezhou is a month and a half away from the capital. It’s still safe to follow the eunuch who issued the decree. I wonder what difficulties he’ll face when he reaches Yuezhou.”

Zhou Jia told Ruyi and the others about this and instructed Ji Xiang, “You have to be careful at home. The Cheng family has been operating in the capital for decades. You can’t underestimate them. You have to protect Madam and Young Master.”

When Ji Xiang heard this, he was a little worried about Zhou Jia’s safety. His eyes were red as he bowed and said, “Master, don’t worry. Be careful when you go on your trip. Come back as soon as possible.”

“You’re about to become a father, yet you still like to cry.”

Zhou Jia smiled and patted Ji Xiang, whose eyes were red. He turned to look at Ruyi and Zhao Cai. “Ruyi, go back with Zhao Cai and make arrangements at home. We’ll set off tomorrow at nine.”

“Yes, sir.” The two men bowed and left.

Zhou Jia went to Li Qing’s house again and told him that he was going to Yuezhou. Then, he went to the Lin family with Li Qing. The few of them chatted in the study for more than two hours before going home separately.

Zhou Jia returned to see that Li Yu had already packed her luggage and brought Yangyang to play with the twins who had woken up.

Yueyue looked at Yangyang, who was talking to him, and his mouth opened and closed. Yangyang looked up and saw Zhou Jia. “Father, look at Yue’er. He wants to talk.”

Zhou Jia walked to the cradle and looked at Yueyue, who was pinching her lips, then at Xingxing, who was lying lazily in Li Yu’s arms. He smiled and said, “Yueyue will definitely be a chatterbox in the future. Xingxing is a lazy pig.”

Yangyang thought so too. “Yes! I talked to Xing’er for a long time, but he only nodded.”

Zhou Jia sat on a chair and hugged Yangyang. He looked at him and said gently, “Yang’er, Father is going out to patrol tomorrow. Help Father protect Mother and Brother at home. Can you do that?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yangyang looked up at Zhou Jia and touched his forehead. “Father, Mother told me just now. Don’t worry, I’ll protect Mother and my brothers.”

Zhou Jia touched his forehead with him and looked at the adult with relief. He smiled and said, “Alright, the eldest son of the Zhou family is already a little man. ”

Yangyang looked at Zhou Jia happily. “Father, I want to be a general in the future.”

Zhou Jia smiled and nodded. “Alright! We still have to go to school tomorrow morning. It’s time for our general to sleep.”

“Yes! Mother, rest early too.”

Li Yu smiled and nodded at him. Zhou Jia sent Yangyang to sleep and asked Granny Chen and Nanny to carry the twins away.

He walked over and hugged Li Yu, who was sitting at the table and wiping the sleeve arrows. He kissed her temple and said gently, “Yu’er, don’t worry. I’ll rush back as soon as possible.”

Li Yu loaded the arrow and leaned into Zhou Jia’s arms. “I believe you. After you go out, don’t let the sleeve arrow leave your body. Remember to be more vigilant. If anything goes wrong, protect yourself first.”

“Yes!” Zhou Jia lowered his head and kissed her.

The next morning, Ruyi and Zhao Cai returned to the residence. Li Yu instructed the two of them, ‘Master’s mission this time is very difficult. Remember not to leave Master’s side. When you encounter trouble, you have to take a detour and not fight head-on.

If you want to ask for information, you can bribe those beggars who walk the streets to ask for information.”

“Yes, Madam.” Ruyi and Zhao Cai bowed.

Zhou Jia walked out of the house with his luggage. Ruyi went forward to take the luggage. Li Yu brought people to send them to the door. Zhou Jia turned around and looked at Li Yu. “Madam, sir, we’re setting off.”

Mr. Wen and Li Yu nodded. “Come back early.”

The four of them got into the carriage before Tiezhu bowed to Li Yu and raised his whip to drive the carriage away. Li Yu stood there and watched the carriage gradually walk away.

Mr. Wen said to Li Yu, “Xiaoyu, are you still going to the Wang Family Village today?”

Li Yu nodded. “Sir, Han San and the others don’t know how to plant sweet potatoes yet. I have to go to the Wang Family Village to take a look.”

“Go! Go early and come back early,” Mr. Wen said.

Li Yu waited for Ji Xiang to inform Chu Fu before heading towards the Wang Family Village with Xing Hua. The bright sunlight shone on her body, making her feel lazy. Xing Hua leaned against the small table and fell asleep.

From the window, Li Yu saw busy figures along the way. Some were herding cows to plow the fields, while others were raking the fields to prepare for the spring seed.

The willow trees by the river had already grown tender green new leaves. The spring flowers had also bloomed with tender yellow petals. The countryside was already filled with spring.

Li Yu watched excitedly. The carriage crossed the bridge and walked towards the farmstead. Han San was leading the tenants to dig ridges in the field at the door and preparing to transplant the sweet potato seedlings.

When Han Song saw the carriage coming, he shouted, “Father, Father, Madam is here.”

Han San turned around and saw the carriage approaching. He said to Han Song, “Song’er, go back and tell Grandmother and your mother to kill two chickens and go to the bamboo forest to break off some bamboo shoots. Then, go to the meat shop to buy a few catties of meat.”

“Oh, oh, oh! I’m going to break the bamboo shoots!” Han Song skipped back.

Tang Yong glanced at Han San. “Brother Han, Madam likes to eat fish. I caught a few big-headed fish in the river early this morning. I’ll go get them and add dishes for Madam.”

Han San recalled that Li Yu liked to eat fish with pickled vegetables and nodded. “Thank you. I’ll calculate it for you at the street price later. Madam said that the things you catch are to be sold for money to supplement the family’s expenses. We’re not allowed to take your food for free.”

Tang Yong sighed and said, “Madam is too polite. You have to pay every time you buy something.”

He Dachun also smiled and said, “So I was prepared to return the tenant fields.

Fortunately, Brother Tang persuaded me. Otherwise, I would have regretted

it..”
