Chapter 239 Returning to Youzhou City



Tingyu jumped in front of Li Lanzhen, raised her little face, and smiled brightly.

"Grandma, did you save Brother Stone and Brother Yanming?"

Li Lanzhen gently patted her head.

"Yes, you could say the stone saved me."

That day, when I came out of a dog hole in the city wall of Youzhou, I encountered a stone.

They helped me get out of Youzhou City quickly.

The rest of the story will be told to you when you meet Brother Stone.

Tingyu turned around happily and took her father's hand.

"Father, Father, let's go with Grandma and go find Brother Stone!"

Grandma saved Brother Stone, Brother Yanming, and Sister Douhua, so she must be a good person.

We can trust her, right?

Li Lanzhen smiled awkwardly.

This silly child, how could he tell everyone what was on his mind to the person in question?

Lu Boyan smiled awkwardly and said.

"Let's wait until Father has asked this grandmother before we talk about it."

At this moment, Han Mingxiang noticed that Lu Boyan seemed a bit troubled and hesitant.

He stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and gave Lu Boyan a student salute.

"This humble one, Han Mingxiang, greets Brother Lu."

Lu Boyan looked up and glanced at Han Mingxiang.

"You've also received an education and participated in scientific expeditions?"

Han Mingxiang smiled and said.

"Yes, I participated in the imperial examination. I had already obtained the qualification of a student a year ago, and then I came out with my mother to escape the famine."

Lu Boyan nodded upon hearing this, then turned to look at Li Lanzhen and asked.

"Auntie, may our family of four come with you?"

Li Lanzhen said, "Great! We welcome you if you'd like to come with us."

I just want to tell you that the place we live in is called Peach Blossom Spring, and it's deep in the mountains.

It's far from Youzhou City; it takes a day and a night to get here.

Far from the city, there is only the quiet rural life in the mountains.

"And it's a very harsh place there. We've just found such a good place where we can grow our own food and vegetables, produce our own food, and feed ourselves."

Han Mingxiang quickly said, "Oh, we also have a school there, and Master Xu teaches a group of children there."

Upon hearing this, Tingyu immediately tugged at Lu Boyan's clothes, signaling him to bend down.

Lu Boyan bent down and put his ear to Tingyu's mouth.

Tingyu whispered, "Father, let's go there. Tell Grandma that you're already a scholar and can be a teacher too."

Li Lanzhen and the others were trying not to laugh. How could this be considered a whisper? The voices were so loud that everyone could hear them.

Lu Boyan smiled, straightened up, and bowed to Li Lanzhen again.

“Auntie, I, Lu Boyan, have already passed the imperial examination and become a scholar. If you are willing, my family of four will go with you to Peach Blossom Spring.”

Li Lanzhen laughed heartily as she spoke.

"We'd love to! Of course we'd love to! We welcome a learned person like you to our Peach Blossom Spring!"

At this moment, Tingyu spoke again, "Alas, Father, it's such a pity that you can't take so many books with you to Peach Blossom Spring!!"

Father, aren't you going to take the imperial examination to become a scholar? You don't have any books left, how are you going to take it?

It's all that wicked woman's fault!

"Father, and my dear grandmother too! Father, your mother left you so much dowry, and that wicked woman has seized it all!"

Seeing Tingyu's frustrated and regretful expression, Li Lanzhen suddenly had an idea.

"Tingyu, how about you go back to Youzhou City with Grandma, and we'll take back all of your grandmother's things? How about that?"

Tingyu was overjoyed to hear this and waved her little hand, saying, "Okay, okay, Grandma, I'll lead the way for you."

I know a way that wicked woman doesn't know about; we can sneak in through there.

Lu Boyan said seriously, "Tingyu, don't talk nonsense. We're already out. How could you let Grandma go on an adventure with us!"

If we encounter them, they will hurt Grandma!

Tingyu stuck out her little tongue, shrank her neck, and grinned at Li Lanzhen.

"I'm sorry, Grandma, I forgot you're an old woman, you can't beat that wicked old woman!"

That wicked woman! All she does is eat good food all day long; she's as fat as a pig!

"Listen to the rain!"

Lu Boyan stopped her from speaking again.

Li Lanzhen raised her hand to signal him to stop talking.

“I’ve made up my mind. I’m going to take Tingyu back with me and get back everything your mother left you.”

Don't worry, I'm capable of protecting myself. Don't be afraid, I will protect Tingyu.

"Don't let him speak anymore," Li Lanzhen said, turning to Xue Bao.

"Xue Bao, everything here is safe in your hands. Protect everyone!"

Then he took out a water bag from his basket, which contained spiritual spring water from his spatial storage, and a pill, and handed it to Lu Boyan.

"Here's some medicine that can save your wife's life. Give it to her."

Lu Boyan bowed gratefully and accepted the water pouch and pills with both hands.

He turned around, knelt down beside his wife, and lifted her head.

Tingyu and the little boy immediately went over to help.

Lu Boyan fed his wife the medicine and then gave her three sips of water.

He looked at Tingyu and said, "Yu'er, you must be extra careful when you take Grandma back. Once you get to the manor, you are not allowed to run around. You must stay with Grandma. If they catch you, your father will not be able to save you. Do you understand?"

Tingyu nodded, puffing out her little chest as she assured him.

"Don't worry, Father, I'm very clever!"

I'll stay close to Grandma and just help her retrieve the things your real grandma left you. I won't beat up that fat guy, and I won't throw my poop on that wicked woman's bed.

After saying that, he quickly covered his mouth.

Seeing her obvious attempt to cover up her misdeeds, everyone around her burst into laughter.

Lu Boyan shook his head helplessly.

Li Lanzhen found another bag, picked it up, and handed it to Lu Boyan.

"Here are a few sets of clothes for you to wear. It gets very cold in the mountains at night."

He pulled out a set of blue cotton-padded clothes and said to Tingyu.

"Tingyu, you should change too. Once you're dressed warmly, go back to Youzhou City with Grandma to settle accounts with your step-grandmother and get back the things your biological grandmother gave to your father."

Tingyu hugged the clothes with both hands, spun around, and asked Lu Boyan.

"Father, where should I go to change my clothes?"

Li Lanzhen took her hand and said, "Come on, we can change behind the bushes over there."

After arriving behind the bushes, Li Lanzhen suddenly realized that if she returned to Youzhou City during the day and Lu Boyan's family discovered Tingyu, it would be very troublesome. It would be better to disguise herself.

So he took out another tiger-head hat from his spatial storage, the kind that boys in Youzhou City liked to wear.

"Tingyu, dress up as a boy. That way, when we go back, even if we run into your family, they won't recognize you."

Tingyu rolled her eyes and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes! Yes, yes, good, Grandma is so smart!"

Having received a smart card, Li Lanzhen helped Tingyu change her clothes and led her out.

The person in front of Lu Boyan looked exactly like a boy, wearing a blue cotton-padded jacket and trousers, and a tiger-head hat on his head. The straps on both sides of the tiger-head hat hung down on his shoulders and swayed as he walked.

"Daddy, do I look like a boy?"

Lu Boyan smiled gently, then grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and rubbed it between his hands.

"Yu'er, come here."

Lu Boyan smeared the dust from his hands onto his daughter's face, nose, and forehead.

He looked at it for a moment and nodded.

"Yeah, this makes him look more like a mischievous kid."

Li Lianzhen filled her basket with more than 100 wild vegetable cakes and three water bags.

"Put it on the ground," he said to Xue Bao.

"Xue Bao, find a place for everyone to eat something. Put Lu Xiucai's wife in the carriage."

Don't worry, we'll be back to find you later.

Xue Bao knew he couldn't stop Li Lanzhen, so he said...

"Aunt Lanzhen, we're right where the carriages are kept. Don't get lost on your way back. Be careful in everything you do."

Han Minghai and the others were worried and told Li Lanzhen to be careful and come back soon.

They all knew that once Li Lanzhen had made a decision, it could not be changed.

On the other hand, the plight of Lu Boyan's family is also infuriating.

Li Lanzhen waved her hand and said she understood.

Changfu walked over and said, "Master, I'll go with you."

Li Lanzhen shook her head and said, "No, I'll take Tingyu with me. You stay with Xue Bao and the others."
