Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zhang Defa and Zhang Guisheng went forward to help Chen Zhaodi up. Zhang

Guisheng looked at Zhou Jia with grief and indignation and shouted miserably, “Mother, let’s go to the government office to sue them. They took revenge for no reason and sent someone to break my leg…”

Zhang Defa also shouted from the side, “Li Yu, come out. Your father betrothed you to Guisheng back then. How did we let you down? Why did you send someone to break Guisheng’s leg so that he can’t take the imperial examination anymore? You…”

“Beat them up!” Zhou Jia said coldly.

“You have a death wish!” Zhao Cai flew forward and slapped them a few times. The three Zhang family members covered their faces and looked at Zhou Jia hatefully.

“I thought you could use some amazing methods to slander me. After so many years, you still only know these dirty methods.”

A clear voice came from the house.

Zhang Guisheng covered his face and watched in a daze. The woman who walked over slowly opened her mouth but could not make a sound.

“Why are you out?” Zhou Jia took a step forward and smiled.

Li Yu looked at him and chuckled. “I’m here to take a look at these smelly bugs. What kind of tricks do you want to play?”

Zhou Jia smiled and hugged her. “They’re just a few clowns. Why should we care about them!”

Zhang Defa heard this and was so angry that his face turned red. He spat out a mouthful of blood and stared ruthlessly at Li Yu and her husband, who were standing on the steps and smiling at each other as if no one was around. He felt that the two of them and the vermilion door behind them were piercing his head and eyes.

Chen Zhaodi looked at Li Yu. She couldn’t associate this beautiful and noble woman in front of her with the emaciated Li Yu back then.

Zhang Defa touched his swollen face and pushed Chen Zhaodi. “Let’s go and reason with her.”

Chen Zhaodi covered her face and was a little afraid. “They’re going to hit me…”

“Zhang Defa, you ungrateful dog bastard, how dare you come to my sister’s

house to cause trouble!”

A carriage stopped behind the Zhang family. Li Qing jumped out of the carriage and punched and kicked Zhang Defa.

“What right do you have to hit me? I’m going to sue you at the government office!”

Zhang Defa resisted with his hands and was no match for Li Qing at all. He was knocked to the ground by Li Qing in a few moves.

Zhang Defa hugged his head and shouted, “Help! The officials of the Imperial Court killed someone…”

Zhang Defai was curled up on the ground after getting hit by Li Qing.

Li Qing looked at Zhang Guisheng, who was standing at the side and watching Zhang Defa get beaten up, in disdain. He walked towards him.

When Chen Zhaodi saw Li Qing walking towards Zhang Guisheng, she hurriedly shielded Zhang Guisheng behind her and shouted, “Don’t hit my Guisheng. Don’t hit my Guisheng.”

“You ruthless and sarcastic bitch. None of your Zhang family is good.” Li Qing slapped Chen Zhaodi away and pointed at Zhang Guisheng. “You’re just a beast in human skin. You hid behind your parents and specialized in doing heartless things.”

Pedestrians stood in the distance and watched. The nearby families stood behind the doors and looked around, but no one went forward to ask.

“Alright, Ah Qing, it’s embarrassing for you to argue with such a person!” Lin Zexu got out of the carriage and pulled Li Qing back.

Li Yu and Zhou Jia approached Lin Zexu and bowed. “Uncle, Ah Qing, why are you here?”

“Ah Qing and I came out of the Hanlin Academy together. We passed by you and saw them. So came down to take a look.”

After Lin Zexu finished speaking, he turned to look at the three Zhang family members disdainfully. “To think the descendants of the Lin family were actually abused by despicable and shameless people like you and almost lost their lives. Now, you still dare to run to the door and commit extortion! Men, send them to the government.”

Descendant of the Lin family! Zhang Defa looked up at Lin Zexu, who looked extraordinary, and then at Li Yu and her brother. He thought of the wife Li

Shan had picked up. So she was the daughter of the Lin family in Qingzhou. Li Yu and Ah Qing… Regret surged in his heart like a tide. Zhang Defa lost his last bit of energy.

“Father, Mother, is this karma?!” Zhang Guisheng looked at Zhang Defa and suddenly laughed crazily. “Hahaha…”

“Those who are blessed will fall into a land of blessings.” Two streams of muddy tears flowed down Chen Zhaodi’s face.

The servants of the Lin family went forward and restrained the Zhang family. The patrolling bailiffs also arrived. With Li Yu’s permission, the bailiffs took the Zhang family away. Zhao Cai also followed them to the government office.

Looking at the Zhang family members who were dragged away by the bailiffs, the grievances that had weighed on Li Qing’s heart for many years finally dissipated. He turned around and bowed to Li Yu and Zhou Jia. “Ah Qing thanks Sister! Thank Brother-in-law.”

Zhou Jia smiled and patted Li Qing. “Silly kid, why are you still talking about this with your sister and brother-in-law!”

Li Yu and Lin Zexu looked at the two of them and smiled. Lin Zexu smiled and went forward to hug the two of them. “You’re both good children.”

Zhou Jia, who was being hugged by Lin Zexu, felt a little embarrassed. “Uncle, come in and sit for a while. Want a cup of tea?”

Lin Zexu smiled and shook his head. “No, your aunt is still waiting at home!”

After sending Lin Zexu off, Li Qing said happily to the two of them, “Sister, Brother-in-law, Wanwan might be pregnant. I’ll bring her here later to ask Sir to take her pulse!”

When Li Yu heard this, she looked at Li Qing excitedly. “Ah Qing, go back and bring her over now. When Sir comes back to take her pulse, we’ll have dinner

togetner.”

“Alright, I’ll pick her up now.” Li Qing got into the car and went back.

Li Yu and Zhou Jia entered the courtyard. Yangyang ran out of the backyard. “Mother, Granny Chen said that bad people came to look for trouble. Did you chase them away?”

Zhou Jia stopped and looked at him. “We chased him away a long time ago.”

“Look at you. You’re sweating profusely from running.” Li Yu wiped the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief.

Yangyang held Li Yu’s hand and looked up at Zhou Jia. “Father, my classmate is celebrating his birthday tomorrow. He invited me to his house to celebrate his birthday. What do you think I should give him?”

Zhou Jia thought for a moment. “That depends on what your classmate likes.”

Yangyang looked at Li Yu. “Mother, it’s Lin Haoran, the one who fought with me last time. He likes to eat delicious food. Then I’ll buy some delicious food for him and send it to him. Mother, why haven’t I celebrated my birthday?”

Li Yu looked into his dark eyes and smiled. ‘Yes! I even cooked eggs for you on your birthday. It’s a habit left behind by your maternal grandfather’s hometown. He said that the people wanted to celebrate birthdays quietly and not let the gods know.”

“Why can’t I let the gods know that I’m living?” Yangyang looked at Li Yu curiously.

Li Yu thought for a moment and said, “It should be because the elders are protective of their children!”

Yangyang thought for a moment. “I understand. Just like how Father and Mother protected me!”

“Yes!” Li Yu nodded.

When they reached the small study, Yangyang turned to look at the two of them. “Father, Mother, I’m going to do my homework.”

The couple watched him skip into the small study. Zhou Jia turned to Li Yu and smiled. “Yu’er, no wonder you never mention your birthday..”
