After Li Yu washed up, she returned to her room and pushed open the door. She saw Granny Chen sleeping on a low couch in the inner room.

When Granny Chen heard the sound, she got up. “Madam, why are you back so quickly?”

Li Yu looked at the two children sleeping with red faces on the bed and said softly, “I caught a few wild animals and picked up some fresh mushrooms before rushing back. It’s not comfortable for you to sleep here. You should sleep on the outer bed!”

Granny Chen nodded and walked out quietly.

Li Yu went to bed and kissed the two babies before lying down to sleep.

The next morning, the two children woke up and saw their mother lying on the bed. They pounced on Li Yu happily and kissed her. “Mother, where did you come from? We didn’t even see you when we slept last night!”

Li Yu smiled at them. “Mother knew that I was thinking about me, so she came back quickly!”

“Mother!” The two of them pounced on Li Yu and smiled happily.

Granny Chen hurriedly entered the house and said to the two children, “Young Masters, Madam wasn’t home until dawn. She’s very tired. Go out with Granny to wash your faces, brush your teeth, and eat. Let Madam rest well.”

Xingxing looked at Li Yu. “Mother, are you tired?”

Li Yu nodded. “I’m tired! Be good. I’ll get up after sleeping for a while and make delicious food for you.”

“Okay!” The two of them put on their clothes and followed Granny Chen out.

Mr. Wen woke up early in the morning and saw the mushrooms drying in the dustpan. He looked at Auntie He in shock. “Ah Yu came back last night!”

Auntie He smiled and nodded. “She came back when the chicken crowed. She even brought you something good.”

Old Master Zhou smiled and said, “What was it? Let me take a look.”

Auntie He turned around and brought out a basket.

She placed the basket on the bamboo rack to reveal the few purple lingzhi mushrooms inside. Then, she looked at the two of them with a smile. “They’re good things, right?”

Old Master Zhou nodded. ‘Yes! It’s good stuff!”

Mr. Wen nodded repeatedly. “Ah Yu’s luck is really good. Other than the deep mountains and forests, it’s really rare to encounter such a good lingzhi here.”

“Look at whose wife she is.” Old Master Zhou smiled proudly.

Mr. Wen nodded and said, “Jiahe has better taste than his father.”

In Yang Village, the Yang brothers walked until dawn before returning home.

The Yang family lived at the end of the Yang family village and did not split up. The entire family lived in a large brick courtyard. It seemed that their family background was alright.

Father Yang looked at the brothers and asked curiously, “Didn’t you say that you would stay on the mountain for a few days before coming back? Why are you back so quickly?”

Yang Lin put down his prey and bow and pulled Father Lin. He said softly,

“Father, let’s go to your room. I have something to tell you.”

Seeing that his usually steady eldest son was flustered, Father Yang hurriedly returned to his room with him.

After the father and son entered the house and sat down, Father Yang quickly asked, “What happened?”

Yang Lin looked at him and said, “Father, do you still remember what I told you when T went hunting with Second Brother and Third Brother three wears ago?”

“Three years ago?” Father Yang thought for a moment. “Third Brother said that he chased a white fox into a cave and realized that the cave was open. Did he see anyone on the other side of the cave?

“Yes! We met a woman in the mountains at dusk yesterday. She said…” Yang Lin looked at Father Yang after saying that.” Father, do you think we should tell her? ” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I heard about what happened in Liang Village. Your mother also told me about Ying Tao and the others.”

Father Yang looked at his son. “Sigh! What a sin! That woman is probably Madam Li, who saved Yingtao and the others. Xiang Xiu’s mother said that her man is quite high-ranking and she treats them well.”

Yang Lin said anxiously, “Then what do you think we should do? Are we going to say it or not? If they find us and attack us…”

Yang Lin did not dare to continue. The Yang family village was much larger than the Liang family village. At that time, the three of them would become sinners.

Father Yang shook his head and said, “It’s been three years, but those people haven’t come looking for us. It proves that they didn’t discover Third Brother back then. Otherwise, we would have been silenced long ago.”

“I’m afraid that Madam has already sensed it. Sigh! Let’s quietly go to Liang Village and tell her the ins and outs of the matter. When the officials come looking for us, we’ll really be in trouble!”

Yang Lin nodded. “Father, we’ll do whatever you say.”

Father Yang stood up and looked at him. “Go! Call Third Brother over. Let’s go to Liang Village now.”

“Yes!” Yang Lin followed Father Yang out of the door, called Yang Mu, and drove the ox cart to Liang Village.

Li Yu slept until the afternoon before waking up. She went out and saw Granny Chen and Auntie He drying mushrooms and bamboo shoots in the courtyard. The others were not in the courtyard.

When Auntie He saw Li Yu, she smiled and said, “Madam, you’re up! I’ll cook a bowl of chicken noodles for you.”

Li Yu smiled and nodded. “Alright, where did the children go?”

Granny Chen smiled and said, “The two young masters followed Old Master, Mr. Wen, and Little Loach to the bamboo forest to see those craftsmen build houses.”

“Oh!” After Li Yu washed up, she went to the dining room beside the kitchen to eat.

When she came out after dinner, she saw Auntie He packing up the wild animals.

Auntie He pointed at the pheasant and said, “Madam, Young Master said that he wants to eat beggar’s chicken. I looked around. There’s no lotus pond here. I cant wrap the chicken with lotus leaf. I can’t make it!”

Li Yu smiled. “Tell them that there’s no lotus pond here. It’s the same if you apply seasoning and roast it for them.”

Auntie He smiled and nodded. “That’s the only way. I’ll prepare the seasoning. Go and rest for a while.”

Li Yu nodded. “Is Ruyi back from the capital?”

“He arrived last night. He went to town early this morning.”

Li Yu thought about how she had encountered the Yang brothers yesterday and wondered if she should go back and ask the government office or go to the Yang Family Village personally.

Before she could decide, Aunt Zhang came in from outside and reported, “Madam, three villagers with the surname Yang outside said that they want to talk to you.”

It seemed that the Yang Lin family was here. Li Yu thought to herself that they came quite quickly. It seemed that she had not guessed wrongly.

“Invite them in.”

Aunt Zhang turned to the courtyard door and brought the Yang father and sons into the courtyard.

Father Yang went forward and bowed to Li Yu. “Madam Li, I took the liberty to visit you because I have something to tell you.”

Li Yu smiled and raised her hand. “Old man, there’s no need to stand on ceremony. Please come in and sit down.”

Father Yang cupped his hands and said, “Thank you, Madam Li.”

The few of them entered the central room. Aunt Zhang sent tea over, and Father Yang and his sons sat on chairs cautiously.

Li Yu saw that the Yang brothers’ eyes were red and guessed that they had also returned to the Yang family village overnight. They might have discussed it with their father at home and rushed over.

She looked at them and smiled. “You haven’t eaten, have you? Aunt Zhang, cook a bowl of noodles for them.”

Father Yang hurriedly stood up and rubbed his hands nervously. “Don’t trouble this sister-in-law. You’re too polite.”

“You’re welcome. It’s just a meal.” Li Yu smiled.

Aunt Zhang agreed and went to cook the noodles..
