Chapter 269: Vengeful Personality

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yunjin. Li Yu thought of how Mother Li was also called Lin Yunjin! No wonder Madam Lin looked like she had seen a ghost that day. If her twin sister had really gotten lost in an accident, shouldn’t they have asked excitedly when they saw someone who looked like her? However, she looked absent-minded and terrified. Li Yu was sure that Mother Li was Madam Lin’s lost twin sister, Lin Yunjin, and that Madam Lin must have deliberately harmed her.

It seemed that she had to write a letter to ask her aunt where Father Li had saved Mother Li and if Mother Li had mentioned any relatives or where she was from. After thinking about it, Li Yu picked up her pen and started to write. After writing, she asked Ji Xiang to send it to the Four Seas Bank and asked Shopkeeper Chu to help bring it to Tongzhou.

In the Wang family, Ah Yue was still locked in the room by Old Madam Wang. As she wrote, she looked at the door. She wrote for a long time, but not a single page was filled. When she heard the young maidservant greet Qing Zhu, she walked towards the door. A few seconds later, Qing Zhu walked in. After bowing, she reported, “Miss, the servants and old women of the magistrate’s office are very cautious. As long as we mention the magistrate’s family matters, they will avoid talking about it. If you continue, they will ignore you.

Ah Yue twirled the brush in her hand and thought, “They don’t discuss the main family with outsiders and don’t reveal the main family’s matters. Looks like that b*tch has a way of managing the inner residence!” Ah Yue was so angry that she frowned at the text she had just copied and sneered. “Do you think I can’t do anything to you just because I can’t bribe the servants?”

Ah Yue looked at Qing Zhu viciously and instructed, “Qing Zhu, get Wang Zhong to guard outside the government office from today onwards and keep an eye on that slut. As long as she’s alone, kidnap her and throw her into the mountains to feed the wolves.”

Qing Zhu looked at Ah Yue and understood that with her vengeful personality, she would not listen to her advice. However, as a maidservant, she would not be able to escape responsibility if she did not dissuade her mistress from doing something bad.

“Miss, think about it again! She’s Madam Protector of the First-grade. If something happens, you and the Wang family will be implicated.”

After Ah Yue finished speaking, she looked at Qing Zhu coldly. “I’m warning you. Don’t think of telling my mother and grandmother. You have to know that you’re my girl.”

Seeing that it was useless to dissuade her, Qing Zhu felt that she had done her duty. She bowed and said, “Yes, Miss.”

Qing Zhu went to the outer courtyard and found Wang Zhong in the guard room. Wang Zhong looked to be in his twenties. He was not tall and looked extremely strong. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, looking honest.

Qing Zhu told Wang Zhong what Ah Yue had instructed and instructed him, “Brother Wang, you have to be careful. Don’t attack unless you’re 100% sure. If you expose yourself, we won’t be able to escape responsibility.”

Wang Zhong looked at Qing Zhu’s cautious appearance and nodded solemnly. “Thank you, Miss Qing Zhu. I’ll be careful.”

Qing Zhu took out a money bag and handed it to Wang Zhong. “Brother Wang, Miss asked me to give this to you. She told you not to come back for the next few days and to rent a house to avoid being discovered.”

“Alright, I’ll pack up and leave.” Wang Zhong took the money bag, turned around, entered the house, changed his clothes, and left.

Ruyi and Chu Feng went to the Four Seas Bank. After settling the handing-over procedures, Chu Feng arranged for someone to accompany him to West City.

After riding for an hour, they arrived at the large wasteland at the foot of the mountain outside the west city and a shallow mountain filled with peach trees.

After taking a cursory look, he returned to the government office to redo the title deed. Then, he returned to the back office and handed the title deed to Li Yu. He reported, “Madam, that person pawned 500 taels of silver. Including the interest money and the contract tax, he spent a total of 750 taels. The wasteland is very large, and there are two small hills. The hills are filled with peach trees. The person who accompanied me to see the land said that the peaches formed by the peach trees are all sour peaches and not delicious.”

The peach trees on the mountain were all sour peaches but she wasn’t afraid. As long as she found a good breed, she could graft them! She would go take a look later.

Li Yu opened the title deed and saw that there were more than 900 acres of wasteland and more than 1,000 acres of barren mountains. She sighed and said, “We’ve taken a huge advantage. We only spent so little money on such a large piece of land.”

Ruyi smiled and said, “I also said that to Shopkeeper Chu, but the shopkeeper said that the bank has taken a lot of advantage in working with you. This land is only sold to others for a few hundred taels of silver, so they earned more working with you!”

Li Yu smiled and said, “Don’t take his polite words seriously! We’ve already bought the land and it’s going to be March soon. If we hurry up, we can still grow some rice and corn for a season. Hurry up and go out of the city to take a look. Hire more people at the city gate and bring them to the wasteland to work.”

Ruyi smiled and said, “Madam, after hiring people, we still have to build a

manor. Madam, you have to see how to build it.”

“Okay. When Ji Xiang comes back, tell him to hire the craftsman who built the house.”

Ruyi bowed and left, walking out of the city. Wang Zhong came out of the teahouse diagonally opposite the government office and quietly followed Ruyi out of the city. He hid at the side and waited for Ruyi to hire workers before quietly following him. He followed him to the foot of the mountain outside the west city and watched for a while before turning around and returning to the city.

Li Yu put the title deed into the space and went to the front yard. She said to Old Madam Xu and Old Madam Yun, “Pack up. Later, go to the foot of the mountain outside the west city with Ji Xiang and cook for those wasteland reclaimers. ”

“Yes, Madam,” they replied and went to pack.

Li Yu returned to the backyard and asked Old Madam Liu to get the grain shop to send a few bags of rice back before going to Xiaoyu’s courtyard.

“Madam, you’re here!” Xiaoyu smiled and pointed into the room. She whispered, “The two of them danced for a long time and followed Gu Yu back.

After taking a shower, they dried their hair and fell asleep.”

Li Yu went into the house to take a look at Yangyang, who was lying with Seven Pounds. She came out and told Xiaoyu about buying the wasteland. She smiled and said, “Ah Wei and Sir have been gone for a few days. I don’t know if they have found a suitable wasteland. Since we bought a suitable wasteland at home and the spring sowing is coming soon, we should hurry up and plant some rice.

We can even plant rice for a season.”

Xiaoyu calculated for a moment. “That’s right! More than half of February has passed. We have to hurry up with work. Otherwise, we won’t be able to plant the seeds in time.” Xiaoyu suddenly remembered that the grain seeds had been given to Qingchuan’s Four Seas Bank. “Madam, do we still have grain seeds at home?”

Li Yu had many grains, wheat, wild rice, and corn seeds in her space, but she couldn’t tell her!

“You don’t have to worry about the seeds. Shopkeeper Chu and the others are also transporting the seeds over. I’ve already decided.”

The two of them chatted for a while longer before Old Madam Liu came to report that the grain shop had already sent the rice over. Li Yu asked Ma Qiang to drive the carriage to send the grain and the two old women out of the city.

Ji Xiang sent the letter over and said to Li Yu, “Madam, Ruyi has already hired more than short-term workers to the western wastelands. He has hired more than 40 short-term workers. I’ll go buy pots and pans and hire some craftsmen.”

Li Yu smiled and said, “Alright, I don’t have to tell you since you’ve already thought of it. Then buy some fatty meat, pig intestines, cabbage, and radishes.

I’ll drive over to take a look first.”

Li Yu arranged to go back and eat something before going to the front yard to drive the mule cart out..
