“Bear with it for a while and avoid a hundred days of worry. I’ve been

persuading myself like this all these years when I was doing business outside, but that’s the daughter I raised. I had to stab myself with a needle to resist the urge to fight to the death with He Yuqing.”

“I calmed down and found the previous shopkeeper’s house. Only then did I find out that less than a year after I left, He Yuqing told the shopkeeper that my Lian’er had suffered from hypochondria and that he had sent her to the capital for treatment. From then on, he never saw my daughter and granddaughter again. Not long after, the shopkeeper was fired. Later, he found out that He Yuqing had hooked up with a noblewoman in the capital.”

“I came back and continued to ask around, but I still couldn’t find them. I was so anxious and angry that I fell sick again. I lay in the previous small courtyard for half a month. I thought that if I couldn’t find Lian’er and her daughter, I

would fight him.”

Steamed Bun Liu pulled out a sharp knife from his pants and placed it on the table. “The heavens have blessed me to meet Sir and Lord who helped me find Lian’er and Ling’er. I still have to live well and protect them.”

As Steamed Bun Liu spoke, he wiped his tears and knelt on the ground again with a thud. He kowtowed to Mr. Wen, Zhou Jia, and the others to thank them. “Sir, Lord, and this little brother, Liu Dazhong’s family will repay your kindness in our next life.”

Zhao Cai helped him up. Mr. Wen patted him and comforted him. “Old Liu, we’re old acquaintances. It’s nothing. There’s no need to be so polite. Tell me your future plans!”

Steamed Bun Liu said sadly, “Sir, sir, I’m only left with a small courtyard to settle down in. Fortunately, I found Lian’er and Ling’er.”

Zhou Jia looked at Steamed Bun Liu. “You wrote the restaurant into your daughter’s dowry. Did you go to the government office to file it? Did you hand over the deed to the restaurant to your daughter?”

“Sir, I’ve always been on guard against He Yuqing. Before I left, I wrote the restaurant into Lian’er’s dowry, but I also went to the government office to prepare a case. I hid the restaurant’s deed and the family’s deed in a safe place. I also went to check that the deed is still there, but when I went to the government office to get someone to investigate, I realized that the restaurant and my daughter’s dowry residence, as well as the two shops in town and Linjing County, were under He Yuqing’s name.”

When Zhou Jia heard this, he understood that Country Lord Ning had instructed someone to tamper with the Liu family’s assets. The exact reason would probably only be understood when Liu Yulian woke up.

“When your daughter wakes up, you have to ask her about her attitude towards He Yuqing. If you want to complain, I’ll help you write a complaint and testify for you.”

Steamed Bun Liu looked at Zhou Jia. He did not expect Zhou Jia to be willing to stand up for his family even though he knew that the person behind He Yuqing was Country Lord Ning. However, he could not put his savior in danger for the Liu family.

“Lord Zhou, you’re a good person. I can’t harm you. When my daughter wakes up and recuperates, I’ll bring them back to our hometown.”

Zhou Jia looked at Steamed Bun Liu. “Shopkeeper Liu, the facts of your case are clear. I’m not afraid even if I face that Country Lord Ning, because behind me is the current emperor. Don’t worry, the current emperor is a wise emperor and won’t side with the royal family.”

Zhou Jia’s tone emitted a sincere tone, stoking Steamed Bun Liu.

“Sir, I want to sue. I want to sue He Yuqing for murdering his first wife and child. No matter what Lian’er thinks, I won’t let her return to the wolf’s den.”

Mr. Wen patted Zhou Jia in relief and turned to look at Baozi Liu. “Old Liu, let’s go see your daughter. Bring porridge and give her some.”

Steamed Bun Liu brought a bowl of porridge and Mr. Wen to the room. Liu Yulian woke up. After Mr. Wen took her pulse, he looked satisfied. “Her pulse feels stronger than before. Fortunately, they’re all superficial wounds. They heal quickly. You have to be fine. You still have your old father and young daughter to take care of.”

“Thank you.” Liu Yulian looked at Ling’er, who was sleeping soundly beside her, and then at Steamed Bun Liu, who was looking at her eagerly. Yes, she still had her father and daughter. Such a thing was not worth being sad about. Liu Yulian revealed a strong smile. “Father, don’t worry. I understand. I’ll get better.”

Steamed Bun Liu looked at the daughter he had doted on. Her tone and gaze were like that of an old woman in her seventies or eighties. He understood this sentence. She had exchanged it with blood and tears.

Seeing the vitality in his daughter’s eyes, he wiped the tears from his eyes and picked up the porridge on the table. “Sigh! Drink the porridge. I have something to talk to you about.”

Mr. Wen turned around and went out to fry the medicine, leaving the father and daughter to talk.

Steamed Bun Liu looked at his daughter. “Child? Can you speak? The lord who saved you and Ling’er is willing to help us seek justice. What do you think?”

Liu Yulian looked at her thin father and blamed herself. “Father, I was blind and was bewitched by his handsome appearance. I didn’t listen to you and insisted on marrying him. I hate myself for implicating you.”

Steamed Bun Liu looked at his daughter’s gray hair and blamed himself. He was extremely jealous. “Lian’er, it’s not your fault. It’s my fault for not guarding you well and causing you to suffer.”

Both father and daughter took responsibility.

“Father, listen to me.” Liu Yulian glanced at Ling’er and said slowly, “After you left, he said that he wanted to go to the capital to study and look for a famous teacher to take the imperial examination. I took out some money and gave it to him. He packed his clothes and went for more than two months. Then, he ran to the capital every other day. Later, there was news that you were in trouble…”

“Father was lucky and avoided a calamity. He only suffered some superficial injuries,” Steamed Bun Liu hurriedly said.

Liu Yulian looked at her father and smiled. “I also felt that you were fine, Father, so I wanted to get someone to go back to the countryside to ask you for information. But I didn’t find a suitable person yet. One day, the aunt next door came back from the capital and whispered to me to watch over my man or the assets my father left behind. She said that, no matter what, I have to watch over them so that I don’t have to come up empty-handed. I thought there was a hidden meaning in Auntie’s words, so I planned to go to the capital to take a look.”

“He came back from the capital that day and said that he would bring me and Ling’er to the capital to play. Ling’er and I happily followed him to the capital. He brought me to a house and asked me for silver, a house deed, and a title deed. He said that he wanted to do business with someone. I refused, so he hit me and locked Linger up for me to see. I could only give him all the silver in my hand. ”

“I really didn’t have the title deeds to the shop and manor, so he brought me back and locked me in the cellar to interrogate me. He humiliated me and refused to let me see Ling’er. He even said that you had suffered retribution and were buried underground by mountain rocks and would never reincarnate. I didn’t believe him. I knew that Father would be fine and would come to save me and find Ling’er.”

Steamed Bun Liu nodded. “Yes, Father will be fine.”

Liu Yulian looked at Steamed Bun Liu. “Father, only then did I know that although our family treated him well, he thinks that you’re hypocritical and self-righteous. He said that he lived like a dog in our family and had to put up with our attitudes…

“You clearly knew that he was a scholar, but you were humiliating him by letting him do what those lowly talents do. You even forced him to be my husband, making him unable to raise his head in front of others for the rest of his life and losing his dignity as a human..”
