The journey had already been delayed for a day, so the master and his servant had no choice but to ride at top speed. Even so, it was already late into the night by the time they arrived at the mansion.

Seeing the young lady's carriage, the guard at the door perked up, "The young lady is back. I will go inform her immediately!"

"There's no need to linger. I'll pay my respects to my father tomorrow." She wanted to see how the mansion had been tormented by that bastard uncle's family.

The three of them snuck into the Bamboo Hallow Courtyard. Brother had been living in the barracks all year round, and most of the time only his sister-in-law lived here. When they stepped into the courtyard, the fallen leaves on the ground had already piled up to the floor.

The front of the house was empty and lonely. There was not a single cleaning wife, and only the sound of coughing could be heard from inside.

"Young Madam, please drink some water. This servant will go ask in the kitchen." This was the beautiful voice of the servant girl.

"Cough cough!" Forget it, don't make things difficult for them. They are only following orders. " Her voice was hoarse and weak.

"Those dog slaves that bully others will get retribution sooner or later. When the general returns, we'll definitely take care of them!" Fang Qing said bitterly.

Madame Li laid on her bed. Her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with despair. She had just married into the Li family, but she already suffered such a treatment.

"I need to take care of my body, or else, the Mansion of Prefectural Governor will underestimate me even more!" Madame Li unwillingly wiped away her tears and said angrily.

"Who dares to belittle my good sister-in-law?" Opening the curtain, Soong Jinyu was already mentally prepared, but she was still shocked by the Li Clan's vicissitudes of life.

No matter what, Lady Li was still a daughter of a famous family in Spirit State. Her looks could be described as devastatingly beautiful. Right now, her cheeks were shrivelled up and her hair was disheveled on her shoulders. She looked very haggard.

"The young miss is back!" Fang Li was pleasantly surprised. The Young Miss had a good relationship with her elder brother, she would definitely help them.

Smelling it carefully, the room had a faint musty smell.

Soong Jinyu scoffed, "Eldest sister-in-law, I have wronged you these past few days."

He walked forward to cover her with the quilt and placed one hand on Madame Li's wrist. His brows were knit tighter and tighter. As she had expected, both her vital energy and blood suffered losses and he even suffered from a cold.

"I will help you recuperate for a bit while my sister-in-law can rest at ease. I will definitely not let those evil people off the hook!"

A mere branch bastard dared to bully the head of the main branch!

Very good, you're courting death!

Narrowing her eyes, Soong Jinyu gave the order: "Suixiu, you and Fang Li will go to the kitchen to prepare medicine for sister-in-law. You don't have to disturb the other people in the residence."

"Yes, Miss!" Their bitter days had finally come to an end!

"Cheng Soong, keep an eye on Second Master's courtyard. If anything happens, report it to me immediately!" Cheng Soong ordered for them to be hidden in the darkness.

There was only the two of them left in the room. Lady Li raised her spirits and moved a few seats inside, indicating her to sit down: "Jinyu, why are you back so early this year? Isn't it close to the Mid-Autumn Festival in the past years? "

Madame Li was very close to this sister-in-law. Although they didn't spend much time together, she knew that she was a very good person.

"Heh, I'm afraid if I don't come back soon, this Mansion of Prefectural Governor will change hands!"

In the days that she was gone, Second Aunt asked all the servants in the house to address her as Young Miss Soong Wangqiu, her cousin.

Over time, many people outside now think that Soong Wangqiu is the direct descendant of Soong Mansion.

The two of them conversed for a long time. Soong Jinyu had a rough understanding of the current situation of Soong Mansion.

As soon as he stepped into the room, the aroma of food, mixed with a faint medicine box, filled the room.

"Sister-in-law should rest soon after eating. It's already late, sister should go back now."

Just as she got up, Lady Li held her hand and said, "Good little sister, if you don't mind, let's rest at sister-in-law's place today."

Seeing her hesitating, Soong Jinyu was suspicious.

Fang Li kneeled down. "Miss, that courtyard of yours is now a place where Miss Tang lives …"

Even her residence was taken over?

"Is that so …" Soong Jinyu was furious, it seemed that he had to settle the debt with them.

These two days, he had been working hard on his boat so he might as well take a good rest. Soong Jinyu could clearly feel that after tomorrow, there would be a tough battle to fight!

"Seems like I'll have to trouble sister-in-law today." Soong Jinyu looked around, in this house, it was not easy to find a place to sleep.

Lady Li's face was slightly embarrassed as she hastily sent Fang Li to clean up the side hall.

The next morning, when the sky was slightly bright, he was woken up by his wife's loud scream.

"I was wondering what kind of hour it is and you're still sleeping? When the Lady and the Young Miss wake up and see that the chaos in the courtyard has affected their moods, can you bear the burden? "

The one who shouted was Old Lady Li. Originally, she worked in Second Madam's room, but was transferred to Zhu Xuan Yuan and became a housekeeper.

Yesterday, before Young Madam had a chance to rest, she had already slept like a dead pig.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she moved to kick the door open. "What is Senior Servant Li doing?

Usually, this girl was the most submissive. What kind of medicine did she eat wrong today? How dare she talk back to her!

He raised his hand and gave her a slap. Old Mrs. Li put her hands on her waist and scolded, "Pah! Young Madam! She's been lying here eating and drinking for free everyday. Hurry and get her to come out and work for me!"
