“He had never beaten her up.” The old woman sighed. “Ever since Madam had a miscarriage, Master has treated her better. The two of them lived indifferently for more than two months. Master went out to find a private school to be a teacher. In June two years ago, Master didn’t go home much and didn’t bring money back to family expenses. Madam and I relied on needlework and the silver Madam’s family brought to survive.”

Ji Xiang frowned and asked, “Young Master Li isn’t going home. Where is he staying?

The old woman looked angry. “Madam didn’t ask him or look for him. Every time Master came back, he came to get his clothes. On the day of autumn last year, Master came back and moved all his clothes and luggage away. Before he left, he even said that he wanted a divorce.”

“Madam asked him to make himself clear. He said that marrying her was the most unlucky thing in his life. He said that he had never liked Madam and even said that he was willing to divorce her. If not for Master Zhou, he would have written a divorce letter to Madam long ago.”

Ji Xiang thought to himself that Miss Cousin-in-law’s judgment was really not good. To think such a straightforward person was married to Li Fengqi, a heartless person. Why was Li Fengqi willing to get a divorce? Could it be that he had found a better family?

“What did your Madam say?”

“Madam didn’t agree and argued with him. Master threw the divorce letter to Madam and left. When Madam got too angry and went to the private school to look for him, the teacher said that Master had long quit his job and left.”

Ji Xiang did not expect things to have reached this point. He asked the coachman to move the things out of the cart and handed them to the old woman. ‘Grandma, take the things in first. I’ll go back and report to Madam.”

The old woman nodded. She thought for a moment and instructed Ji Xiang, “In-law, tell Madam not to say that I told you. If Madam says anything, I’ll have to sell myself.”

“Alright, I know what to do.” After Ji Xiang agreed, he got the coachman to drive the cart back to the residence and told Li Yu what the old woman from

Laidi’s tamily had said.

“Let’s go and take a look. After checking in with Laidi, go to the government office and find out where Li Fengqi went.”

When she arrived at Laidi’s house, Li Yu walked into the courtyard and saw Laidi sitting under the eaves of the porch with a needle and thread. Her expression was calm and not too bad.

When she saw Li Yu, she stood up in surprise. “Cousin, you just sent something over. Why are you here personally again?

“Ji Xiang heard from someone in the hall that Li Fengqi had moved out of his house. I’m here to ask what’s going on. What are you thinking?”

When Laidi heard this, she lowered her head and said in a low voice, “I plan to live like this. As long as I don’t agree to the divorce, he can’t do anything to me.”

Li Yu looked at her, not understanding what was in her mind. “Isn’t he afraid you’ll tell us about him asking you to steal the child?”

Laidi looked at Li Yu in surprise. “You knew?”

Li Yu nodded. “If it weren’t for you, do you think he would have been able to live peacefully these days? He would have long been stripped of his scholarly title and gone to jail.”

Laidi looked at Li Yu apologetically. “Cousin, I’ve let you and my parents down. I was blind and mistook fish eyes for pearls.”

Li Yu looked at her and said earnestly, “Laidi, let me tell you clearly today. For your desire, you wanted to marry this man. It was your wishful thinking that broke your parents’ hearts.

“I don’t know if you’ve let go of your dream of wealth and glory. I just want to tell you that you’re still young and have a long way to go. If you can learn a lesson from this and get out, you’ll be able to find the life you really want.”

Laidi got up and went into the house to get the divorce letter written by Li Fengqi for Li Yu. She saw that Laidi’s signature was already on it. Li Yu didn’t expect her to have already thought it through. She looked up at Laidi. “It’s good that you’ve thought it through. Live your life well in the future.”

“He came back that day and threw a divorce letter to me. He even said that he had never liked me. In a fit of anger, I said that he would never be able to get rid of me. He threw down the divorce letter and disappeared. I’ve thought it through these days. I want to wait for him to try to find him that day and give him the divorce letter. I want to cut ties with him.”

“Wait at home. I’ll get someone to find Li Fengqi. Give him the divorce letter personally. After giving it to him, what are your plans?”

Laidi looked at Li Yu and hesitated for a moment. “Cousin, can I go to the countryside to collect vegetables and make the pickled vegetables you made in the past to sell?”

Li Yu nodded. “Sure, if you want to do it!”

Laidi bowed deeply to Li Yu. “Thank you, Cousin. I’ll definitely live a good life in the future and stop thinking about unrealistic things.”

Seeing that she really had the intention to repent, Li Yu said, “It’s good for people to have dreams, but they have to consider their actual abilities to set realistic goals. They have to take one step at a time and slowly improve themselves before they can go further. Impractical dreams are just dreams.”

When Laidi heard Li Yu’s words, she smiled bitterly and said, “Cousin, I was dreaming in the past. I even had nightmares.”

“Alright, if you’re fine, I’ll go back. Write to Aunt about you and Li Fengqi so they won’t worry.”

“Got it.” After agreeing, Laidi sent Li Yu out.

Li Yu went out and got into the car. She said to Ji Xiang, “Go to the government office and find someone to investigate Li Fengqi. Where does he live after moving out of here?”

“Yes, Madam.” Ji Xiang turned his horse around and went to the capital government office to find someone to investigate Li Fengqi’s whereabouts.

The coachman drove the cart back. The cart slowly moved forward. Li Yu leaned against the pillow in the cart and fell asleep.

Suddenly, she felt that it was quiet outside. It was not as noisy as the route back to the East City. Li Yu gently lifted the curtain and realized that the carriage had arrived at a quiet street.

Li Yu took out a dagger from her space and planned to see who instructed the driver to divert her route.

The carriage moved forward slowly. Li Yu looked out through the gap in the curtain and saw the north city gate in front.

Li Yu thought to herself that it seemed that he was going to drive her out of the city. She had to tell Xiao Xi so that he wouldn’t worry.

Li Yu took out paper and a charcoal pencil from her space. Time was tight, so she only had time to write: Zhou Jia, I’m fine, Li Yu.

Wrapping a piece of silver barley in the paper, she threw it through the curtain.

When a city guard saw a paper ball thrown out of the car, he hurriedly picked it up and pinched a hard piece inside. He opened it and saw the silver barley inside. He happily held the silver barley and smiled at his companion. “Brother, let’s drink two cups later.”

His companion pointed at the paper in his hand. “Hey! Look at what it says. It seems to say that she’s safe. Do you think she eloped?”

“It might be! Put it in your pocket first. Someone will be looking for it and we can show it to him.”

Li Yu realized that not long after the car left the city, two people jumped onto the carriage. One sat in the front car, and the other sat in the back of the carriage.

Only then did Li Yu say, “Old Lin, why did you pull me out of the city?”
