Seeing that he had remembered it, Li Yu nodded in relief. “Alright, live well with Wanwan. Your brother-in-law is very busy in the Ministry of Revenue and can’t take care of the house. I’m also worried about Yue’er and Xing’er at home.

Seeing that you’re fine, I’m relieved. I’ll set off in two days.”

Li Qing looked at Li Yu reluctantly. “I knew it. You’ll leave in two days at most.”

Li Yu laughed when she heard that. “That’s right! I was worried about you when

I didn’t see you. When I don’t see your brother-in-law, Yang’er, and the others,

I get worried about them. I’m naturally a worrier.”

“Sister, I remember that you used to say that you liked to look around. When Yang’er and the others are older and Brother-in-law is not busy anymore, you can go out with him to take a look and play around.”

Li Yu couldn’t help but laugh. “Come on! Who knows how long we’ll have to wait until he’s not busy? I remember you mentioned last time that Aunt asked you to go back and move Father and Mother’s graves to Phoenix Village. It seems that you won’t have time to go in the next few years.”

“Yes! We can only go back and move Father and Mother’s graves when my term at Le County’s term is up.”

Fan Mingfang coaxed Dongdong to sleep and came over to say to Li Qing, “Ah Qing, you too. Sister is tired from the journey. If you have anything to say, say after she has had some rest.”

Li Qing smiled and nodded. “Alright, accompany me to rest!”

Chu Sihai led his men to eliminate all the bandits in the cave and even got someone to seal those caves, treating them as the burial grounds of those bandits.

The group led the two small leaders they had captured alive back and arrived at the foot of the Liang family village at dusk.

Yang Liu and San Qiao came out of the courtyard with a load of rice. When they saw the two small leaders pressed down by Chu Sihai’s soldiers, they shouted angrily, “Beast, I’ll beat you to death…”

The two of them threw down the wicker basket and raised their poles to hit them. Chu Sihai let them hit them a few times before getting someone to stop them.

Chu Sihai said to the two of them, “Sister-in-law, the bandits who walked out of Liang Village have all been killed. You can live in peace in the future.”

“Thank you, Master. Thank you, sirs.” Yang Liu and San Qiao bowed to Chu Sihai and the soldiers before turning around and running back. “Let’s go back and tell Second Sister-in-law and the others the good news.”

When Ah Lian and the women heard the news, they happily made food and sent it to the farm to thank Chu Sihai and the others.

When they returned home, they went to the grave where the dead in Liang

Village were buried. They paid his respects to them and asked them to rest in

peace.

Chu Sihai rested in Liang Village for the night and brought those people back to the capital the next morning.

The second day after Li Yu arrived in Le County, the people sent by the Imperial Court arrived.

There were more than 20 people in the group, and the leader was the Fu Commandery Prince.

Li Qing gave the list of people captured by Mr. Cheng’s family and Wenchang Pavilion to the Fu Commandery Prince.

After the Fu Commandery Prince saw this, he said to Li Qing, “Lord Li, why isn’t that master on the list?”

Li Qing looked at him with a worried expression and said in distress, “Lord, I searched their hiding place but couldn’t find that person. According to Mr. Cheng, he said that he left Le County with his guards a few days ago. Before he left, he didn’t tell him where he was going. I’m also very worried! What if he’s still in Le County? What should I do? Please bring your men to stay here for a few more days and investigate.”

When the Fu Commandery Prince heard this, he also understood Li Qing’s feelings. With such a person in his jurisdiction, it was troublesome whether he was dead or alive.

He was also unlucky to have accepted such an errand.

However, it was best if that master was not around. It was not good for anyone related to him to be brought back to the capital alive.

“Lord Li, I want to interrogate Mr. Cheng first and see if he can remember anything?”

Li Qing couldn’t wait to throw this hot potato to the Fu Commandery Prince.

“Alright, I’ll take you to the county office jail and hand them over to you.”

The Fu Commandery Prince interrogated Mr. Cheng for a long time and his conclusion was the same as what was written in Li Qing’s dossier.

The Fu Commandery Prince and the accompanying people heaved a sigh of relief.

The leaders discussed in low voices and felt that they had to look for a few living people who had ridden out.

Finally, the Fu Commandery Prince greeted Li Qing and brought his men to the surrounding county cities to quietly search.

Li Yu set off under the relunctant gaze of Li Qing’s family.

Ten days later, in the afternoon, the three of them finally appeared at their house.

After receiving the news, Zhou Jia brought his three sons to the second door.

The two little ones ran over happily and held Li Yu’s hand. “Mother, we missed you so much.”

“I miss you guys too.” Li Yu looked at the father and sons and smiled.

The father and sons escorted Li Yu into the house. Li Yu gave them the gifts Li Qing and his wife had prepared for the children. There were wooden toys, brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, as well as the clothes prepared by Fan Mingfang.

The family ate happily. Li Yu looked at Yangyang, who had not been very active since she returned. “Mother’s eldest son, is there something on your mind?”

Zhou Jia smiled and glanced at him. “The child is old. It’s normal for him to have his own worries.”

“No.” Yangyang looked at Li Yu. “Mother, Pan Sheng said that he’s going to participate in the county examination next year and asked me if I was going. Qi Dingbang also said that we’re in good graces and don’t have to take those exams. Mother, do you think I have to participate in the county examination?”

Li Yu thought for a moment and said gently, “Do whatever you think. If you want to validate what you’ve learned over the years, participating in the imperial examination is the best way to test it.”

Yangyang looked at Zhou Jia. “Father, do you think I should go?”

Zhou Jia looked at him and said without hesitation, “As a scholar, I feel that you should go. When you have experienced it, you will understand that good graces and your achievements are two completely different feelings.”

Yangyang looked at the two of them conflictedly. “But I don’t want to be a civil servant. I want to be a general.”

“Then take the written examination first before taking the martial arts examination.” Zhou Jia looked at him. “As a man, don’t be indecisive. Once you have thought about it, just do it.”

Li Yu looked at his frown and rubbed his head with a smile. “Son, there’s no conflict between the imperial examination and you being a general! Isn’t there a saying about Confucian generals!”

Yangyang lowered his head and thought for a moment. “Alright, I’ve decided to participate in the county examination next year.”

Zhou Jia glanced at him and decided to provoke him again. “I think you should think about it again tonight. Think about it carefully. Tell us tomorrow morning. ”

Yangyang looked at his parents and said loudly, “Father, you said just now that a man can’t be indecisive. I’ve been thinking about it for two days. This is my decision.”

Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia and nodded. Zhou Jia said, “Alright, we respect your decision. Your mother is tired too. Go to the garden and bring your brothers to wash up and rest.”

After Yangyang agreed, he went to the back garden to look for his brother. Li Yu and Zhou Jia returned to the house..
