After He Yuqing entered the house, he held the bronze mirror and looked at the scars on his face. He was so angry that his liver hurt. He thought of a way to win back Country Lord Ning’s heart.

Even if they broke off their relationship, he had to think of a way to ask her to back him up.

Sitting there, he racked his brains but could not think of a way. He heard a servant report, “Master, a constable and a bailiff are here. They want you to report to the government office.”

“What did you say?” He Yuqing sat up abruptly and pointed at the servant.

The servant said boldly and loudly, “A constable and a bailiff are here. They want you to go to the government office for questioning.”

With a bang, the bronze mirror fell to the ground. He Yuqing was drenched in a cold sweat. What should he do? Those people must have ruined his plans. If he had known…

The county magistrate of Linjing City was swift and decisive. In less than two days, he found out everything. After the Zhongyuan Festival, he immediately held a hearing. He Yuqing had lost his conscience in order to seize the Liu family’s assets. He had abused his wife and disobeyed and bribed a low-ranking official to tamper with the Liu family’s assets.

He Yuqing cried bitterly in the hall and confessed to Liu Yulian, saying that he had suffered from hysteria and that his heart had been blinded by greed. As long as they could forgive him, he promised to repay the Liu family. He even kowtowed to Liu Yulian and begged for mercy.

After the father and daughter berated him, Liu Yulian wanted to cut ties with He Yuqing.

At the magistrate’s hearing, He Yuqing was sentenced to exile and sent to the streets. When the villagers of Hengshan Town saw Liu Yulian, who had been tortured by He Yuqing until she was only skin and bones, they were furious.

They took rotten vegetable leaves and rotten vegetables and threw them at He Yuqing, who was being paraded in the streets.

Liu Yulian and her father carried the child and looked coldly at He Yuqing, who was being tortured on the streets and in a sorry state. Liu Yulian thought about the days when she was tied up in the cellar. Her regret bit at her heart all the time. Now, everything had finally turned out for the better. The evil person had received the just desserts he deserved.

Steamed Bun Liu went home and personally chopped up the meat filling to make the buns. He chopped up the fishballs, and a young male chicken, and placed the ingredients on ice. He drove the cart to the Zhou family’s manor in the Wang family and bowed to Mr. Wen and Li Yu. “Sir, Madam, I can’t thank you enough. These are the buns, fishballs, and roasted chicken that I personally made. They were all pulled over with ice. They’re still fresh. I’ll borrow your stove to make these things for you to try.”

Mr. Wen looked at Steamed Bun Liu and smiled in relief. “Alright, we went to eat fakes that day. Today, let’s try the authentic Steam Bun Liu’s buns, fishballs, and roasted chicken.”

Li Yu smiled and nodded. “Sorry to have troubled you.”

Steamed Bun Liu said happily, “Madam, what are you talking about? If you

think it suits your taste, send someone to me and I’ll personally teach her how to make it.”

Li Yu waved her hand and smiled. “There’s no need for that. If it’s delicious, I’ll go to your restaurant to eat. It’s not the same feeling eating them at home.”

Li Yu and Mr. Wen looked at the steamed buns that Steamed Bun Liu brought to the table. With a light bite, juice spilled out. Li Yu dipped the steamed buns in Steam Bun Liu’s unique sauce. Li Yu felt that they were even more delicious than the most famous bun she had eaten in her previous life.

There were also fish balls that were refreshing and smooth. They also retained the freshness of the fish. The roasted chicken was roasted from a baby rooster that had just started crowing. After tearing it open, the fragrance assaulted the nose. The meat felt fresh and juicy.

After Li Yu ate, she smiled and gave him a thumbs-up. “Steamed Bun Liu lives up to his reputation. It tastes really good.”

“Yes! I’ve eaten the same taste as before. Old Liu’s culinary skills are even better than before.” Mr. Wen smiled and praised.

Steamed Bun Liu bowed and smiled. “It’s good that Sir and Madam like it. I wanted to wait for Master and Young Master to come back before making it for them to try. I don’t have any other abilities, but my culinary skills are passable.”

Mr. Wen smiled and shook his head. “Old Liu, you don’t have to come to the manor to cook. When they come back, we’ll go to your restaurant to eat. When we go to the restaurant, it’ll taste like going to a restaurant.”

Steamed Bun Liu said, “Alright, I’ll definitely cook personally.”

After sending Steamed Bun Liu off, Mr. Wen sighed and said, “It’s really too difficult for ordinary people to survive in this world. The Liu family is quite lucky to have met you and Zhou Jia. Also, as a relative of the royal family, she didn’t abide by the rules and openly committed adultery with a married man. Why isn’t anyone controlling her?”

When Li Yu heard this, she recalled the way Country Lord Ning looked at Zhou Jia and couldn’t help but feel disgusted.

After mid-July, the villagers and tenants were busy with the autumn harvest. The village was filled with golden rice ears, and the rice fields were filled with busy villagers. The faces of the adults and children were filled with the joy of a bumper harvest.

After the autumn harvest, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival again. Li Yu and Mr. Wen also returned to the capital to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with the family and admire the moon.

To Li Yu’s surprise, she saw Old Master Zhou. After Li Yu went forward and bowed, the energetic Old Master Zhou took out a jade pendant and handed it to Li Yu. He looked at her in satisfaction and smiled. “Take it. It’s a greeting gift for you.”

“Thank you, Uncle.” Li Yu smiled and accepted it.

Everyone happily admired the moon and ate mooncakes. After resting, Zhou Jia pointed at the windowsill and said to Li Yu with a smile, “Now that he’s found something serious to do, he even got Zhao Cai to rent a shop for him in Flower and Bird City. Now, he’s focused on taking care of the flowers and plants at home. Zhao Cai said that the garden is filled with the flowers and plants he planted. This time, he bought a brush and ink for Yang’er. He even said to Zhao Cai that he realizes that the money he earned is still the easiest to use. I’m wondering how long he can last.”

Li Yu also felt that Old Master Zhou’s change was unexpected, but she was happy to see that.

“Then let Zhao Cai lead him down the right path. He’s so old and has seen all those romances. It’s possible that he really wants to live better on his own this time.”

“If that’s the case, he’ll have a better life.” Zhou Jia helped Li Yu massage her swollen leg and watched as Li Yu leaned against the pillow and touched her abdomen with a calm smile. Thinking about it, he still told Li Yu what Ji Xiang had found out.

“Ji Xiang said that Laidi is pregnant. I don’t think her relationship with Li

Fengqi is that harmonious. Little Jiu, who helped us gather information, said tnat ms Old woman doesn’t nave good tmngs to to say about Ll Fengql. sne doesn’t even need to ask around to know about Laidi’s family. Do you think we should interfere?”

“Ignore her. It’s fine as long as Li Fengqi doesn’t hit or abuse her.” Li Yu told Zhou Jia what Laidi had said to her that day. “Their motives for getting married were impure, to begin with. Back then, Laidi felt that Li Fengqi was good-looking and was her ideal husband. He had the ability to make his wife noble and also the ability to make to bring her glory.”

“Li Fengqi wanted to rely on her to get close to us. Aunt was worried that he would be ambitious. The higher he climbed, the heavier he would fall. He would implicate Laidi and us. Aunt took drastic measures. As a result, Li Fengqi did not rely on us, and Laidi didn’t get what she wanted. This couple did not get what they wanted. They would only become a resentful couple.”

Zhou Jia originally thought that Laidi was just a little infatuated. He didn’t expect her to be so ambitious. He felt that the decision made by Li Yu and her aunt was right. This couple was blinded by greed..
