Chapter 346 Discovery

Chu Feng looked at the boxes and cages piled in the courtyard. “Are you moving back to the city?”

“That’s right! The weather is about to turn cold, and the hours in the day are short. I want to return to the city to save Lord Zhou the trouble of rushing to the city early in the morning.”

“You should. You should. Those corns are almost ripe, aren’t they?”

“They would be completely ripe in early October. I’ll pick some later for you to try the tender corn. The tender corn tastes better than when it’s ripe.”

“Alright, I won’t stand on ceremony,” Chu Feng said with a smile.

Li Yu smiled and turned to Gu Yu. “Go to the front yard and Shui Sheng to pick a basket of corn.” Gu Yu agreed and left.

After Gu Yu left, Chu Feng glanced at Xing Hua and a few old women standing in the courtyard packing their luggage. He lowered his voice and said to Li Yu, “Madam, don’t worry. They might have already set off. We’re also cleaning up the city.”

Li Yu couldn’t wait for them to capture all the spies in Yunzhou City and resolve the crisis as soon as possible.

She smiled and suggested to Chu Feng, “Shopkeeper Chu, I think you should focus on cleaning up the big carriage shop and those coachmen. It’s very easy for them to send news. There are also those places where people from all walks of life stay. For example, the big tea shop opposite the government office and the news about the Drunken Immortals Restaurant should be sorted out by someone.”

Chu Feng looked at Li Yu in surprise. “I didn’t expect Madam Li to study these things.”

Li Yu smiled faintly. “I like to read miscellaneous books when I’m free. I’ve embarrassed myself in front of an expert.”

“What you’re saying makes sense. We’re also sorting out the news about the restaurant and started investigating the carriage dealership, but we forgot to check the big tea shop.” Chu Feng stood up. “I’ll go back and get someone to investigate.”

Li Yu smiled and said, “There’s no hurry. Gu Yu brought people to break the corn. She should be back soon.”

Chu Feng smiled and cupped his hands at Li Yu. “I’m not waiting anymore. Just bring some back to the city!”

“Business is more important!” Li Yu agreed with a smile and sent Chu Feng away.

After noon, Li Yu left Ah Wei to manage the farmstead and the construction work beside it. Under everyone’s reluctant gazes, she brought Yangyang back to the city.

After arriving home for a while, Uncle Liu came to report that Gu Yu’s uncle had brought the villagers back to return the rice. When Gu Yu heard this, she looked up at Li Yu happily. Seeing her anxious expression, Li Yu smiled. “Go! Tell your uncle about you and Ji Xiang.”

“Aye!” Gu Yu agreed and ran a few steps. She ran back and looked at Li Yu. She asked in a low voice, “Madam, I want to give my monthly money to Uncle and ask him to buy something for Grandpa and Grandma.”

“Make your own arrangements.” Li Yu smiled.

Two of the 20 to 30 people were holding the hands of the only two cows in the village. The others were all leaning on wooden sticks and carrying sacks. They were sweating profusely as they stood at the entrance of the backyard of the government office, attracting passersby to stop and watch.

Someone asked a villager, “Brother, are you tenants of the magistrate’s family?”

The villager chuckled. “We’re not tenants ot the magistrate’s family. We’re here to return the food to him.”

“Return food?” The passerby looked at him in confusion.

“It’s like this…” The villager smiled and told him the reason. “Oh! I see!” Everyone discussed softly.

When Uncle Gu saw Ruyi come out, he went forward and bowed with a smile.

“Steward Zhou, these grains are for Madam. Thank you, Madam.”

Ruyi looked at these villagers leaning on wooden sticks and smiled as he cupped his hands. “Alright, let’s go in and eat something to fill your stomachs first.”

“Thank you, thank you.” Uncle Gu led everyone in with Ruyi.

“Uncle.” Gu Yu came out and called out to Uncle Gu, whose hair was tanned and red. Uncle Gu looked at Gu Yu and chuckled. “Gu Yu! Kowtow to Madam for everyone and thank her. The villagers will be able to eat white rice this year.” “That’s right! Yu girl, thank Madam for us.”

Uncle Gu took off the wicker basket on the cow’s back and handed it to Ruyi. “Steward Zhou, please accept these mountain goods and thank Madam for everyone’s help.”

“You’re too polite.” Ruyi took the wicker basket and saw that it was filled with delicious mushrooms and two bowl-sized purple lingzhi.

Ruyi thought to himself that these two Lingzhi were worth more than ten taels of silver. Yet these villagers were actually willing to send them to Madam. It was touching.

After everyone put the food away, Old Madam Liu also cooked the noodles. Gu Yu brought them to the dining room.

Ruyi carried the wicker basket to the backyard and handed the lingzhi to Li Yu. After seeing it, Li Yu said to Ruyi, “Go buy some meat and brown sugar and some cold and cough pills from the pharmacy. Buy some Golden Injury Medicine and medication for snake and insect bites for them to take away. Tell them not to sell their food.”

“Yes.” Ruyi retreated.

Li Yu thought about how Li Qing would set off for the capital to take the exam if he became a High Scholar. Worried about the safety of Li Mei’s family after the war between the two countries broke out, she turned around and went to the study to write a letter to Li Mei in Tongzhou. After writing the letter, Li Yu sat in front of the desk and looked at it, feeling that something was wrong. Li Yu stood up and stood there for a long time, but she couldn’t remember what the problem was. Li Yu thought to herself that perhaps she didn’t rest well and was too nervous. She shook her head and walked out with the letter.

When Ruyi returned after buying medicine and food, Uncle Gu and the others were already preparing to set off for home. Ruyi smiled at Uncle Gu and said, “Uncle Gu, Madam instructed me to buy these things for everyone. Take them back and share them with everyone. Also, Madam suggests that you don’t sell the food.”

“Alright, we’ll listen to Madam.” Uncle Gu turned to look at Gu Yu and bowed to Ruyi. “Manager Zhou, please tell Madam that Little Brother Ji Xiang is a good young man. My Yu girl is blessed. I’ll have to trouble Madam to decide their marriage.”

Ruyi smiled and replied, “Okay, I’ll tell Madam.”

Gu Yu sent Uncle Gu and the others to the door and stuffed her monthly money into Uncle Gu’s hand. She turned around and ran back. Uncle Gu looked at the pouch in his hand and pinched it to know that there was money inside. He put it in his pocket with red eyes and turned to leave with everyone.

Li Yu waited for Ruyi to return and asked him to send the letter and corn to the Four Seas Bank. She asked Gu Yu to send some corn to Madam Gao and Madam

He.

After dark, teams of soldiers quickly went up the mountain from a hidden place and rushed towards the location marked on the map.

After dinner, she carried the sleeping Yangyang to the bed. Li Yu lay on the bed and thought about the strange feeling she had in the study. She fell asleep in a daze. She suddenly remembered that the dolls Zhou Jia had placed on the desk were placed in the wrong direction.. Who had entered the study? What did he want to check?
