BXBX NOVEL Chapter 263 - 263: Going Home
Li Yu knew that he had no choice but to do this. She sighed and said, “You only think about yourself, but as the owner of the inn, you should at least warn your customers if someone wants to harm your customers. What did you do? Have you ever thought that if the person who came today was an unarmed woman, you will haved pushed her into eternal damnation and harmed her family with your actions?”
The shopkeeper looked at Li Yu in a daze, shame flashing across his eyes.
“Madam, you’re right. I’m not human. I’m helping the wicked.”
“Forget it, get up! Think about it in the future.” Li Yu turned around and got into the cart. Ji Xiang drove the carriage towards Yunzhou Prefecture.
The person from the shop opposite ran to the inn and helped the innkeeper up from the ground. He asked, “Shopkeeper Luo, what did the people in the cart say to you? Who are they? They even captured Zhong Bao!”
Shopkeeper Luo wiped his cold sweat and explained what had happened. He said in shame, “Shopkeeper Wang, I didn’t do my job well. Fortunately, they didn’t pursue the matter.”
After hearing this, Manager Wang and the others smiled and said, “This is great. It’s almost dawn in Xingfu Town. Hurry up and inform Exploiter Wu so he won’t find trouble with you later.”
“That’s right, that’s right. I’ll go inform Exploiter Wu now.” Manager Luo ran towards Wu Zhencheng’s house. Before he reached Wu Zhencheng’s house, he met Dachui and the others who had come to help. Manager Luo walked forward and said to Hammer, “Brother Dachui, that lady asked me to tell Lord Wu that she brought Young Master Zhong and the others to the government office.”
“Taken to the government office?” The hooligans were dumbfounded. Dachui waved his hand and shouted, “Brothers, they just left. Let’s go and snatch our boss back.”
The dozen or so hooligans felt that something was wrong and stood there without moving. The hooligan standing beside Dachui cupped his fists and said, “Dachui, I still have something on, so I’ll go back first.”
Dachui reached out to stop him. “Old Black, didn’t you say that you wanted to join the Five Tigers Gang? If we snatch Brother Bao back, we’ll let you join the Five Tigers Gang.”
“I really have something on. Let’s talk about it later!” With that, he left without looking back. The other hooligans saw that the situation was bad and found an excuse to slip away. Dachui cursed angrily, ‘What are you all doing? When Brother Bao comes back, you’ll suffer!”
When Manager Luo arrived at Mayor Wu’s house, he fearfully told him about Zhong Bao being taken away. Mayor Wu’s face was dark as he asked about what had happened. He frowned and thought to himself that Zhong Bao was a reckless thing that didn’t know his place and only knew how to cause trouble. Who exactly came to Xingfu? Why didn’t anyone inform me?
After saying that, Manager Luo stood there uneasily, afraid that Mayor Wu would vent his anger on him.
Wu Zhencheng raised his head and saw that Manager Luo was still standing there. He waved his hand impatiently and said, “Alright, I understand. You can go back!” Manager Luo bowed and quickly left.
Li Yu and the other two rushed to Yunzhou before the city gate closed. After entering the city, she asked Ji Xiang to send Zhong Bao and the other three to the government office while they walked back with Gu Yu. When Uncle Liu saw Li Yu return, he happily went forward and greeted, “Madam, Young Master has come to see you a few times today.”
“Okay!” Li Yu walked quickly toward the main courtyard. Zhou Jia carried Yangyang, who was crying and looking for Li Yu, and walked around the courtyard. He turned around and saw Li Yu walking over quickly. Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu and smiled. He patted Yangyang’s head and said gently, “Yang’er, look, your mother is back.”
Li Yu shouted softly, “Yangyang, Mom is back.” Yangyang turned around and saw Li Yu. He immediately pouted aggrievedly. “Mom, Yangyang was looking for you everywhere.”
Li Yu hugged Yangyang and comforted her. “Baby, I went out for a few days. I rushed back immediately after I was done.”
Yangyang hugged her neck and cried pitifully, “Yangyang couldn’t find Mom.”
Zhou Jia went forward and patted his little butt. He hugged the mother and son and said with a smile, “Alright, stop crying. If you cry anymore, I’ll laugh at you. Let your mother wash up. Yang’er and Dad will get Grandma Liu to make something for Mom, okay?”
Yangyang looked at Li Yu and reluctantly let go of Li Yu’s neck. “Mom, hurry up.” Li Yu smiled at her. “Mom will be fine in a while.”
Li Yu took a shower and ate a bowl of minced pork noodles. Then she carried
Yangyang back to the room and placed him on the small bed in the outer room. Zhou Jia came back from the study and carried her back to the room. He held her into his arms and lowered his head to ask, “How is the mountain? Is there a way to improve it?”
Li Yu nodded and told her about what happened in the mountains. She smiled and said, “They’re all good at farming. As soon as I said that, they understood. When I go to Shopkeeper Chu to buy rice and straw for them, things will be better next year. It’s just that I ran into a group of hooligans in Xingfu Town.
I’ve already caught them and sent them to the government office.”
“Wu Tingxian and Mayor Wu, I wonder what their relationship is? Let’s go back to the government office to investigate tomorrow. Yu’er, let’s rest!” Zhou Jia turned around and pressed Li Yu down, kissing her pink lips.
When Li Yu woke up the next day, she found Yangyang playing alone on the bed with the doll. When he saw Li Yu wake up, he called out “Mother” and pounced on Li Yu. He kissed her face twice and smiled.
Li Yu touched his face. “Yang’er, have you eaten?”
“I ate with Daddy. Daddy asked Yangyang not to disturb Mom’s sleep.”
Li Yu kissed him affectionately and got up to put on her dress. After washing up, she tied her hair into a simple bun and led him out.
When Aunt Zhang saw that Li Yu was up, she quickly set up the dishes. After Li Yu ate, Xiaoyu walked in with an invitation and said to Li Yu, “Madam, Mrs. Wu sent an invitation. She said that her family’s Eighteen Scholars flowers are blooming tomorrow and invited you to her house to admire the flowers. Are you going?
Eighteen Scholars? Li Yu thought for a moment and realised it was just camellia! However, she thought it was good to go take a look. She nodded and smiled. “Alright!”
Zhou Jia looked up Xingfu Town in the government office and found that Wu Yueze was born and raised in Xingfu Town. He was a scholar. Mayor Wu had nothing to do with Wu Tingxian, but he used his surname to get close to Wu Tingxian. Zhong Bao’s real name was Zhong Bao, and he was Wu Yueze’s brother-in-law.
After Zhou Jia checked it clearly, he showed the file to Mr. Qian and said to him, “Sir, take Zhao Cai to Xingfu Town and secretly check if Wu Yueze has done anything illegal in Xingfu Town.”
Mr. Qian nodded and said, “Sir, it’s best if you tell Lord Wu the reason why
Madam captured Zhong Bao to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings.” Zhou Jia thought for a moment and said, “Alright, go back and bring Zhao Cai!”
Mr. Qian retreated. Zhou Jia walked out of the room and went to Wu Tingxian next door. He saw a middle-aged man with a square face and a gloomy expression standing at the door and waiting for Wu Tingxian to summon him..
