Ruyi then felt that it was very likely. “Even I look down on him. He’s definitely not a good person. Go to the Gu family and check if it’s Li Fengqi. I’ll tell Master about Old Master looking for the Gu family to return the flowers.”

The two of them split up. When Ji Xiang arrived at the Gu family’s house, he walked around the house and sat in the teahouse opposite the Gu family until dusk. As expected, he saw Li Fengqi coming out of the house with a happy expression. Ji Xiang followed behind him and felt that something was wrong.

Thinking about the last time he saw him, he still looked bitter and resentful. There must be something wrong.

Ji Xiang followed Li Fengqi all the way. Seeing that he had returned home without interacting with anyone, he returned home and told Zhou Jia about this.

Zhou Jia thought for a moment. “Li Fengqi is a person with a strong desire for fame and fortune. He wants to get on the rankings. As long as one can help him with the imperial examination, one can bribe him. He knows very little about us. If he wants to get the news, he can only attack using Laidi. Think about what Laidi knows. It’s nothing more than Madam and our life experiences. If they can slander Madam for being jealous and unfilial outside, they will…”

“I’m indeed jealous. What can they do to me!” Li Yu walked into the study from outside. “Why should I be afraid of them talking? These gossipy women just want to ruin my reputation. Don’t worry, I’m not that weak. I’ve never done anything wrong. How can my reputation be ruined by a few gossipy women!”

“Why are you out? Just call us over to talk!” Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu disapprovingly and hurriedly pulled her to a chair.

“Aunt and Aunt came to deliver the full month gift this morning. I thought the two of them had something to tell me, but the two of them left after talking for a while. Aunt was even hesitating. I felt that the two of them were hiding something from me.”

Li Yu looked at the two of them and smiled. “I thought it was something big. How can you worry about these trivialities?”

Zhou Jia knew that Li Yu was open-minded by nature. The things she usually paid attention to were not the same as those women and she did not care about these rumors. However, the other party had already begun to spread rumors to target her. She would not stop unless she achieved her goal. This time, if she did not succeed, she would use other methods to attack Li Yu.

Seeing that Li Yu didn’t care about these rumors at all, Ji Xiang panicked. “Madam, you don’t know that those gossipy women are very vicious. They cause trouble all day long. Also, that Li Fengqi, we have no choice but to do it. Even Old Master went to the Gu family to cause trouble today. Old Master…”

Li Yu didn’t expect Old Master Zhou to stand up for her. Thinking about how Old Master Zhou pretended to be generous and gave the flowers away, she smiled with heartache. “According to Old Master’s request, I’ll return double the money for the flowers that Old Master gave away.”

“Yes, Madam,” Ji Xiang agreed.

Zhou Jia continued, “Madam, we can’t let them continue to smear your reputation. I think Country Lord Ning instructed someone to do these things. I’ve already asked Han San to gather information.”

Li Yu looked at the two of them. “What information did you ask Han San to find out? Is it about how many lovers Country Lord Ning has?”

“Yes, how dare such a slut slander you?” Zhou Jia looked disgusted. “Such a person is no different from a prostitute in Fireworks Alley.”

“How is it not different? Most of the women in Fireworks Alley are desperate or forced to take that path. She’s not even as good as them! She’s just reincarnated well and is wearing a magnificent skin.”

Li Yu recalled the way Country Lord Ning looked at Zhou Jia and felt disgusted.

Zhou Jia said in a low voice, “Then let’s peel off that skin for her and embarrass her in the future.”

Li Yu recalled Madam Gong’s gossip ability and said with a smile, “Let me tell you, it’s better to find the aunts than to ask Han San. These things spread the fastest among Madams.”

Zhou Jia felt that it made sense. “Alright, I’ll invite Aunt and the others over. Ask them.”

Ji Xiang looked at the two of them. “Master, Madam, do you still want to watch Li Fengqi?”

Zhou Jia nodded and said, “Go, get someone to keep an eye on him and find an opportunity to search his house.”

Just as they finished discussing, Granny Yang reported from outside, “Master and Madam, Uncle, Matriarch, Master-in-law, and Madam are all here.”

Zhou Jia smiled at Li Yu. “Looks like Uncle and the others know too. We don’t have to ask Aunt for information now.”

“That’s true.” Li Yu smiled and went to the main hall with Zhou Jia. When

Madam Gong saw Li Yu, she pulled her back to the house. “Go back and rest.

You can only come out after your confinement.”

Li Yu smiled and held Madam Gong’s hand. “Alright, Aunt. Wait for me to bow to Uncle before returning to the house.”

Uncle Lin waved his hand and said, “There’s no need to be so polite. Go back and lie down.”

Li Qing also chased Li Yu back to her room. Fan Mingfang went forward and held Li Yu and Madam Gong. “Aunt, Sister, let Uncle and Brother-in-law talk.

Let’s go back to the room to see the baby.”

Madam Gong thought so too. “Yes, let’s go see the baby.”

Seeing that the three of them had gone to Li Yu’s house, Uncle Lin smiled at Zhou Jia and said, “Jiahe, I’m very gratified that you protected Ah Yu like that. Uncle thanks you.”

Li Qing also bowed to Zhou Jia. “Thank you, Brother-in-law, for loving Sister. I also want to thank Old Master, for standing up for Sister. It’s all over the news. They’re all discussing how you went to the government office to warn Lord Liu and Lord Gu. Some are also discussing how Old Master Zhou caused a scene in the Gu family to avenge Sister.”

Zhou Jia looked at the two of them and said with a smile, “Ah Yu is my wife. It’s my responsibility to protect her. Uncle, Ah Qing, you’re too polite.”

While the men were discussing in the main hall, Madam Gong and Fan Mingfang were teasing the twins in the cradle. Yueyue opened his round eyes and looked at the rattle in Madam Gong’s hand, then at the silver bell in Fan Mingfang’s hand. He looked at it for a while and yawned. Then he pouted and cried.

Madam Gong picked him up and said to Li Yu with a smile, “Xingxing should be the elder. He’s a step slower because he’s languid.”

Fan Mingfang looked at Xingxing, who was sleeping in the cradle. “Yes! Sister, Xingxing took one look at the rattle and closed his eyes to sleep. This child doesn’t look like a month old child.’

Li Yu smiled. “That’s right! Even when he cries, he cries lazily a few times. When Yueyue disturbs him, he cries at most a few times. He’s lazy and doesn’t like to move. It’s the same when he comes out. I wonder who he takes after?”

Fan Mingfang sat beside Li Yu. “Sister, Brother-in-law is famous now. Even my mother came to my house today to ask what was going on. She said that Madam Feng has been mean since she was young. After she got married, she was closest to a few gossipy women from the Xu family. Madam Xu has Country Lord Ning behind her. My mother said that Madam Xu didn’t even care about her brother for the sake of her man’s official position.. She even asked if we had offended them?”
