Chapter 259: Heaven's Will Is Clear, Retribution Is Unf

here might be a hidden strategy!"Li Laosì felt his burdens lift and his limbs grow weak.Mostly hunting in the mountains, at most encountering wild boars or black bears.This is the first time I've ever..."It's like we're strangers when we say things like that. We're all family."

"Yes, here we have people helping your elder brother, so you can rest assured. Also, after you go back, take good care of that injured noble. If the Wang clan gets involved in the end, we'll need that noble's help."

After discussing for a few moments, everyone went downstairs and dispersed.

Li Laoer found a stationery store and bought some paper, ink, and everyday necessities at random. He then hired a carriage to take him home.

Every mother in the world, when she gives birth to a child, is like having an extra heart and lung, always hanging outside her body. If there's even a slight change, she knows it immediately and worries about it endlessly.

After the second son went into town early, Old Lady Li would often go to the doorway and glance out, hoping he'd come back soon.

In Ye's courtyard, a large rug was laid under the eaves. The rug was covered with bedding, and there was a small table with some snacks, fruit, and hot tea.

Four large screens blocked the slightly chilly autumn wind, leaving only the warmth of autumn on the eaves.

Ye Gongzi lay on her side, leaning against a thick cushion. She was flipping through a book in her hand and occasionally patted the plump little girl in front of her, afraid she would get cold.

Jia Yin kicked her little feet, flipping through a book in her hand.

Each page of the book is a beautiful illustration, with a few simple sentences underneath, much like a comic strip from a past life.

She giggled as she flipped through the pages, forgetting all about the fruit in her hand.

Li Laotai heard the commotion and walked in. Seeing her granddaughter so at ease, she said to Ye Gongzi, "This girl seems to truly understand... The village is about to build a schoolhouse, and in two years we'll send her to study."

Upon hearing this, Jia Yin couldn't help but feel despair. The thought of sitting with a group of young children, nodding their heads and reciting meaningless phrases, was simply too much to bear.

Could it be that even if I were to live my life again, I would still be unable to escape studying, and perhaps it would even be more tedious and boring!

Luckily, Young Master Ye might have sensed her desperation and smiled reassuringly, "Auntie, don't worry. Fu Niu is smarter than other children. Keeping her confined in the academy might backfire. When she matures, just ask her what she wants to learn, and I'll find a master for her."

Jia Yin immediately brightened her eyes, turned around, hugged Ye Gongzi's arm and shook it non-stop, like a little dog holding onto a meat bone, "Uncle is the best! Fu Niu loves Uncle the most!"

Li Lao Tai couldn't help but laugh and cry, she patted her granddaughter's little butt, "You chubby little thing, you have so many tricks up your sleeve. Are you just too lazy to go to school"

Jia Yin quickly ran over to hug her grandmother's neck, "Fu Niu is not lazy, Fu Niu helps Grandma with chores at home!"

“Hmph, sleeping until the sun shines on your backside every day and saying you’re going to work Who are you trying to fool!” Li LaoTai scolded, but a smile bloomed on her face. Finally, she turned her head and started frowning again, “This girl is both gluttonous and lazy. How can she possibly get married when she grows up I'm afraid she won’t even find a husband…”

Although there wasn't a formal bowing and tea-serving ceremony to acknowledge the kinship, Master Ye had already joined the ranks of doting fathers long before.

He actually took this question seriously and replied earnestly, "Then we'll find some orphan boys. They can either marry into the family or get married elsewhere; Fu Niu doesn't have to move too far away."

Li Laotai was taken aback, a little amused and a little perplexed. "I was just casually talking, you actually took it seriously. From now on, Fu Niu will be even more difficult to manage, she'll have one more person spoiling her!"

Young Master Ye wasn't joking. He said seriously, “It would be best for Fu Niu to find a husband who moves into her family when she grows up. Otherwise, with men having three wives and four concubines, wouldn't Fu Niu be wronged”

Li Laotai blinked twice, thinking about her beloved granddaughter being neglected in the future, and washed her face with tears, she was also a little anxious, "Yes, yes, this matter does need to be considered early."

Jia Yin heard this and was speechless. She was only two years old! Wasn't it too early to be talking about marriage

"Mother, I'm back!" Li Lao Er arrived at the door and saw that his own yard was empty. He came over to the neighbor's place.

Jia Yin ran over barefoot, "Uncle Two, Uncle Two, Fu Niu misses you!"

Li Laoer laughed heartily, picked up his niece, and poked her nose, "Are you hoping that your uncle will buy you something nice"

Jiayin's smiling eyes were like crescent moons, and her small body wriggled with excitement. "I want yummy food, but even more, I want my Second Uncle!"

Li Laotai came up carrying her granddaughter's shoes, putting them on while she asked, “Is it lively in the city Did you see Mr. Wen”

"I saw him, Mr. Wen is well, and I bought the ink and writing brushes too." Li Laoer pointed at the basket outside the door to avoid his mother asking about his older brother, "Mother, I also bought a piece of meat, let's have dumplings for dinner tonight."

Jia Yin's happy clapping caused the old lady to glare at her, "You little glutton!"

Li Laer carried his niece inside, "Mother, I'll go talk to Young Master Ye for a bit. You should head home."

"Alright, I'll chop the vegetables first. When Hongying gets back, we can make the filling and have dumplings for dinner." Lao Tian Tai carried a basket and walked away with a smile.

Li Lao'er sat down on the felt blanket, putting his niece aside. He took out half a bag of sesame candy from his bosom and gave it to his niece, sweetening her mouth.

He then told him about the matter of Sihai Ju, and added: "Mr. Wen said that in another month or so, this matter will be almost settled."

Young Master Ye nodded, "Rest assured, when the Wang family's clan comes forward, I will naturally deal with them."

Afterward, he sighed again, "Your elder brother is truly remarkable. If he had continued his imperial examinations back then, there's no doubt he would have a place at court today. It's such a pity!"

Li Lao Er was also gnashing his teeth in hatred, "That's why I support Big Brother's revenge! Otherwise, we can only hope that Big Brother comes back safe and sound. Ordinary grudges can be let go, but the Wang family is too vicious and hateful!"

"Heaven's justice is clear, retribution is inevitable. The Wang family's retribution has finally come." Ye Gongzi comforted.

Lao Li took two pastries and just happened to hear the end of a sentence, so she asked, "What's going on"

Old Li quickly changed the subject, "It's nothing, Mother. I was just chatting with Young Master Ye. Funiu is eating candy, so don't give her any snacks for now."

As expected, Old Mrs. Li was successfully distracted and snatched the paper package from her granddaughter's hand.

"How come you're giving Fu Niu candy again, be careful she gets cavities!"

Having said that, Old Madam Li put down the snacks, took some sesame candy and left, leaving Jia Yin blinking with big eyes, her face full of grievance.

This shield of hers, it seems like anyone could use it with ease!

Li Laoer patted his nose and comforted his niece, "Second Uncle will buy it for you next time, and sneak it to you!"

Jiayin simply didn't believe it, sprawled on the bed with her feet in the air, causing Ye Gongzi to burst into laughter uncontrollably...

It's not necessary to mention how peaceful and harmonious the Li family is. Let's just say that in the courtyard of Wang Family in Southern City, the shopkeeper of Sihaiju was pacing anxiously.

Seeing Wang Fu carrying a medicine bowl out of the study, he hurriedly pulled Wang Fu aside and whispered, "How is the master He wasn't doing badly earlier, how come he suddenly got so sick"

Wang Fu shook his head, a pained expression on his face as he replied: "It wasn't sudden. The master has been ill for half a month now... It's just that the headache is a long-standing problem. The madam hired many doctors, but they all said it couldn't be cured. These past few days, the pain has been worse."

"Last night, I heard about the incident, so my landlord wanted to investigate, but he kept half-asleep and drowsy, which delayed things. Unexpectedly, that family was such a bunch of bad people, they started making a ruckus directly. My landlord panicked and..."

The shopkeeper's face turned bitter. He wanted to ask again, but just then there was a commotion at the door. Someone rushed in and shouted, "Where is the master There's been a terrible disaster!"
