Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

"Open the door! Open the door quickly, I want to see the old lady!" A maid with ragged clothes and disheveled hair was banging on the door of the Yu family.

The servant inside opened the side door and stuck his head out and said impatiently, "Do you think you can see the old lady whenever you want? If you have nothing to do, just stay away."

After he said that, he threw out two white flour buns. Before the maid could react, the beggars outside the door rushed over and snatched the buns away.

The maid had no choice but to go forward and knock on the door again.

"Open the door, I am Cui'er, the second young lady's personal maid, and I have something important to report to the old lady!"

He shouted until his voice became hoarse, and then the side door opened again. The servant walked out again, followed by the butler.

Seeing this, the maid hurried forward.

"Butler, I'm Cui'er, don't you remember me?"

The housekeeper stared at the maid carefully again and again, and it took him a long time to recognize her.

"Cui'er, didn't you go to Cangwu County with the second young lady as a dowry? Why are you back?"

Knowing that the situation was urgent, the steward didn't say much and quickly brought the maid in.

Before closing the door, he rolled his eyes at the servant, secretly cursing him for being blind.

"The second young lady was in trouble, and she asked me to come back and ask to see the old lady. I used my own money to call two carriages to go to Nanzhou Prefecture. Who knew that the coachman had evil intentions on the way, and he almost killed me for money. I happened to meet a convoy of the escort agency passing by, and I was lucky enough to survive."

"I heard that the second young lady is having a hard time. It's really hard for her."

The two talked as they walked, and soon arrived at the old lady's yard.

The old lady was watching the wet nurse feeding her only grandson and asked the housekeeper to take the person to the side hall.

In the side hall, the maid waited for a long time before the old lady came slowly, supporting the servants.

The maid knelt on the ground and told her the truth of the matter. At the end, the maid fell to the ground and begged the old lady in tears.

"Please, old lady, save the second young lady!"

The old lady raised her eyelids, glanced lightly over her, and looked into the void.

"No fly will bite an egg that has no cracks. If your second daughter behaves properly, there is no way she would be caught by others. Since she is pregnant with the heir of the Zhe family, she should take good care of the baby and give birth to the eldest grandson."

"Madam, the second young lady did nothing. She was wrongly accused!"

The maid crawled forward two steps on her knees and crawled to the old lady's feet.

The old lady was disgusted by her stench and covered her mouth with a handkerchief. She said in a bad tone, "She has tarnished the reputation of the Yu family with her own indecent behavior. She should die as a token of apology! How dare she ask you to come back?"

The maid was stunned. The words the old lady said to coax the second young lady into getting married were so sweet, but now that something happened, the words she said were so vicious.

She couldn't imagine that the old lady would take advantage of the second young lady who married for the benefit of the Yu family.

When the maid was at a loss as to what to do, a beautiful woman rushed in despite the servants at the door trying to stop her.

The woman was Yu Xunli's biological mother, He, who was lying at the old lady's feet.

"Madam, I heard that Li'er was in trouble in Cangwu County. Please have mercy and save her!"

A trace of disgust flashed across the old lady's face. She remembered very well that when they were young, the head of the Yu family loved the concubine He in front of him the most. Even though she was not pregnant and only gave birth to a daughter, she was still favored and honored.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She stood up, kicked He to the ground, and cursed at her.

"It is because of a mother like you that you raise such a shameless daughter who has brought disgrace upon the Yu family. You should die with her!"

Now that the old man is dead, there is no one who can protect this vixen anymore. The old lady feels extremely happy and strides out of the side hall holding the nanny's hand.

"Hurry up! I'm afraid my dear grandson is not full. I have to go and coax him to sleep."

The old lady's words made He, who was kneeling on the ground, so angry that she gritted her teeth and her face was distorted.

"Aunt He, why don't we go and ask the eldest lady for help!"

He gritted her teeth and went to Yu Xunmei's room with her maid in a dejected manner.

After hearing this, Yu Xunmei did not make things difficult for the poor mother. She summoned the people left for her by Yu Shida and ordered them to go to the Zou family in Cangwu County.

"Bring the Second Miss back no matter what!"

"Yes, I will obey your orders!"

He saw hope in her eyes, "Thank you, Miss!"

"Aunt He, there's no need to be so polite. Just go back and wait. I believe they will bring my second sister back soon." Yu Xunmei comforted.

She felt vaguely uneasy. Why didn't the Zou family inform the Yu family in advance when such a big thing happened? Instead, Yu Xunli's maid escaped back to report the news. This was very unreasonable.

Although her brother and father are dead, the Yu family is still the same Yu family.

Could it be that someone is behind this?

Yu Xunmei couldn't figure it out.

In just half a day, the people sent to Cangwu County returned, bringing back the news that Yu Xunli had been drowned in a pond.

After hearing this, Aunt He in the backyard couldn't bear the blow and went completely crazy.

After hearing this, Old Madam Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled sinisterly.

"Dead? Good thing he died!"

All her sons were gone, and she had nothing to care about in the Yu family except the son and daughter left by Yu Shicheng.

"Li'er, where are you? Auntie is here to take you home!"

Yu Qiutao was passing by holding her child and was startled by the sudden appearance of He. The child in her arms grabbed her clothes tightly.

"Auntie, I'm scared!"

He smiled at Yu Qiutao and her daughter, her ten fingers as dirty as dried chicken feet.

"Li'er, be good, don't be afraid! Auntie is here!"

Seeing that He was about to snatch the child from her arms, Yu Qiutao hurriedly moved away, "What are you standing there for? Pull her away!"

The maid and wet nurse who followed her stepped forward, pulled He away, and threw her to the ground.

Yu Qiutou hurriedly took the child and left. Ever since the old lady had a grandson, she had been much nicer to her and her daughter. Every day she would take the child to her yard to play with the young master.

He, who was thrown to the ground, was not angry. She grinned and clapped her hands and laughed.

"He is running around like a madman in the backyard every day, and the old lady and the eldest lady don't do anything about it?" the maid couldn't help but complain.

Yu Qiutao rolled her eyes at her and said, "Don't be nosy, just leave now."

Looking at the backs of the group of people leaving, a dark light flashed across He's eyes, and her mouth was still calling out stupidly, with a few silly giggles from time to time.

"Li'er, my dear, where are you?"

"Auntie, the meal is ready, let's go back and eat!"

Cui'er hurried out from the hanging flower archway, and before helping He leave, she glanced towards the main courtyard.

"Father, please stop talking. I won't agree!"

After dealing with the drought in various parts of Cangwu County, the old head of the Su family in Cangwu County wanted to call back the children who were developing in Longtan.

"The Su family is now well-known. Looking across the entire Cangwu County, who doesn't know the Su family?"

"If you do this, won't we become ungrateful villains?"

Su Kunliang sat on the chair, feeling dizzy with anger.
