"One more thing. What do you think about the pirates I mentioned in the letter?"

Before the pirates showed up, the government officials had already forced the fishermen on the island to leave their homes and villages for refuge.

My great uncle is still staying in the village at such an old age.

Xu Yiyi still remembers the scene that day when the government officials tried to arrest his great-uncle and convict him.

Lin Ke was confused after hearing this and had no idea what Xu Yiyi was talking about.

"What pirate?"

"You do not know?"

Xu Yiyi handed the letter to Qingshan. After arriving at the provincial capital, Qingshan watched the letter being delivered.

"I wrote a letter and it was delivered yesterday."

Lin Ke thought about the letters that the attendant brought in yesterday, and he really didn't remember the one from Xu Yiyi.

"Sir, I will check right away."

After Lin Ke's guards left, he signaled Xu Yiyi to continue.

Everything that happened on the island was told in detail.

After hearing this, Lin Ke laughed, but this smile was creepy no matter how you looked at it.

"I will have someone investigate this matter and will definitely give an explanation to the fishermen on the island."

If Lin Ke remembered correctly, at the martial arts competition at the beginning of last year, the prefect of the town government came up to him to express his loyalty.

But after a few months, he could come up with such a crooked idea.

Using the people as bait is truly outrageous.

Xu Yiyi was relieved after receiving the accurate reply. She didn't know about others, but Lin Ke was indeed a good official who cared about the people.

"Where do you live? I'll have someone take you back."

Lin Ke had thought about letting Xu Yiyi bring his younger brothers and sisters to live in his house, but he was still unmarried at such an old age, and Xu Yiyi was of marriageable age. If others knew about it, they would inevitably think too much.

If that happens, Xu Yiyi's reputation will be affected, and he won't be able to explain to Xu Yinli.

"It's not far, just near Zhechong Mansion, no need to bother."

Xu Yiyi wanted to take the children for a good stroll around the city, after all, they would be going back tomorrow.

"That's fine. There are constant patrols in the city. If you are in danger, go find them. Take the tortoise talisman I gave you."

Lin Ke was still thinking about what Xu Yiyi said about the pirates, so he didn't bother to keep them.

When he came out of Zhechou Mansion, he saw Zhong Xiang coming back with a few people. His face turned pale when he saw Xu Yiyi coming out of Zhechou Mansion.

"Yiyi, what are you doing? Zhechoufu is not like the government office in the town. You can come whenever you want. My Lord is busy on weekdays. What he said to you that day was just a courtesy. You can't take it seriously. You are bothering my Lord in his old age!"

The sudden sound of the bell frightened Wu Yuan in Xu Yiyi's arms so much that his whole body trembled.

As soon as he gets unhappy, he starts to whimper.

"If you encounter any problems, come to me. I am friends with your father."

Zhong Xiang glanced at Wu Yuan who was shouting at the top of his lungs, and frowned unconsciously.

I thought to myself, other people’s children are just so annoying, crying like crazy.

"Uncle Zhong, why do you say that? Lord Lin is not like you say, saying one thing to your face and another behind your back."

Ererte was not convinced and thought that Uncle Zhong was really annoying.

He clearly doesn't like their appearance, but he has to act very enthusiastic.

And he said that he was very good to his father, but he never came once after his father died.

Although Lord Lin did not come, he sent people over and delivered a lot of food to the family.

When he learned that Sanchuan was going to school, he took the initiative to introduce a teacher to Sanchuan.

Now I have to help Sihai find Master Wu.

Zhong Xiang felt a little embarrassed when he heard it. Er Er's words were too direct.

If Lin Ke heard about this, how could he continue to work under him?

"Yes, Uncle Zhong, my father was a good friend of Lord Lin when he was alive. Lord Lin has always taken good care of us after he passed away. It's not like you said he was just being polite."

Zhong Xiang was very flustered. Xu Yiyi didn't understand. Was it her coming to find Lin Ke that made Zhong Xiang so scared?

Her eyes turned slightly, thinking of the letter that Lin Ke had not received.

"Uncle Zhong, I wrote a letter to Lord Lin yesterday, and someone saw it and you took it. Why did you take it?"

Xu Yiyi had a look of surprise and confusion on her face.

When she heard the bell ring, her face turned pale instantly. She understood what was going on, but she had tried to trick him but she didn't expect that he would be able to trick her.

So the ridiculous things that happened in the government office were actually caused by the ringing of the bell?

Otherwise, I wouldn't be so panicked.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I... I didn't even know you had sent a letter to His Excellency. Perhaps the messenger accidentally dropped it."

Zhong Xiang was only stunned for a moment, but he immediately adjusted himself.

"Okay, I have things to do, so I won't tell you anymore."

Zhong Xiang's heart was beating fast, his steps were a little weak, and he was confused and angry. Now he was just pretending to be calm.

After returning home, he quickly recovered.

No one saw him when he took the letter, so even if someone investigated, they wouldn't be able to trace it to him.

"Big sister, it's a good thing that you and Brother Zhong broke off the engagement."

Er Er stuck out his tongue and couldn't help but say it out loud.

"Brother Zhong likes you, but his parents don't like you. He's the only son in the family and he listens to his parents so much. If you get scolded by his parents after you get married, Brother Zhong will definitely not help you."

My eldest sister is such a good person, she shouldn’t marry into a family like that.

"So this doesn't mean the engagement is cancelled?"

As Xu Yiyi spoke, Wu Yuan stared at her mouth, and his little hands curiously rubbed her mouth.

Her eyes are red and her skin is white.

Zhong Xiang actually despised such a cute child. He has really no taste.

The guard at the door pricked up his ears as he watched Xu Yiyi and Er'er chatting about the broken engagement as if no one was around.

I felt that what they said was too unorthodox, but I couldn't help but listen.

"Let's go! Walk around."

Xu Yiyi came out with enough money. Although she was still putting together the fragments of her big ship, she would not do anything to save money for the big ship.

The ready-made clothing shops in the capital city have very fashionable styles. Although Er'er didn't say it, Xu Yiyi could feel her little look.

The colorful fabrics sparkled in the sunlight.

Xu Yiyi walked into the shop with a few children. The air was filled with a faint fragrance, which was very soothing.

The embroiderers are busy in front of the exquisite embroidery frames, their slender fingers holding the embroidery needles, like nimble butterflies flying back and forth on the embroidery frames.

What emerges are brightly colored flowers, vying for beauty.

The shopkeeper was holding a scroll and introducing the most fashionable clothing patterns to them.

Er'er has a sweet appearance and is best suited to wearing a chest-length skirt. Xu Yiyi picked out several sets of clothes for her to try.

She wore a pink short jacket with narrow sleeves, which was embroidered with small flowers, a specialty of this clothing store. The skirt was paired with a wide and light skirt, which swayed gracefully as she walked.

This is something that is not available in town.

"Look, how beautiful it is! The young lady has a sharp eye. She picked out such a suitable dress at a glance. I can't do that."

The shopkeeper covered his mouth but laughed heartily. His words were obviously compliments to others, but they sounded natural.

Xu Yiyi smiled without saying anything, watching the little girl spin around happily.

You should like it very much.

"There are two more sets to try. If they are suitable, I will take them."

Xu Yiyi made the decision with a wave of her hand. The little girl had to get up early every day to go to the stall with her, and she had to buy a few sets of clothes as a reward.

"How's it going? Is there anything you want?"

While Er'er went in to try on clothes, Xu Yiyi glanced at Sanchuan and Sihai who were squatting on the ground, bored.

The two children shook their heads in unison.

This is still the age when people don’t care about what they wear.
