Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Li Yu thought that other than the gardener, Old Madam Liu, Aunt Zhang, and the guards who stayed in the government office had all been brought over from Qingchuan. There shouldn’t be a problem with these people.

The rest were the people they had bought in Yunzhou. The old women had all gone to the manor, and only the gardener had stayed in the back office. Could it be that the gardener had entered the study?

Li Yu sat up and lit the oil lamp. She went to the dressing table and sat down. She looked at the makeup box on the dressing table and opened it one by one to check. She realized that the position of some things had also changed slightly. Someone had come to check in the room and study. It seemed that someone was watching the back office, What was this person trying to do?

The more Li Yu thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. She glanced at the sleeping Yangyang, put on her clothes, closed the door, and walked towards the backyard.

When she arrived at the entrance of the back garden, Li Yu saw that the moon cave door was already locked. She kicked the wall and flipped over like a ghost. She landed under the back window of the servant’s room where the gardener lived alone.

She stood there quietly and listened attentively. She did not find anyone in the house. Li Yu was about to turn to the front to open the door to check when she suddenly heard the door to the back garden open with a bang. Then, it was closed again. Someone walked over quickly. Listening to the heavy breathing and footsteps, she felt that he did not seem to be a professional spy. Then, she heard the sound of the door being pushed open, followed by the sound of someone taking off shoes and getting into bed. After 15 minutes, she heard snoring.

It turned out that they had long fought their way into the back office. Li Yu returned to her room and reflected on herself. She began to think about what the gardener wanted to do. Did he want to steal information or harm her family? Li Yu looked at Yangyang’s red face from sleep and became worried.

The next morning, Li Yu asked Gu Yu to call Ruyi over and tell him about her late discovery. When Ruyi heard this, his eyes widened. Seeing that Li Yu had already realized that something was wrong with the Jiang guy but didn’t arrest him, he knew that Li Yu had a plan. He whispered, “Madam, what are your

Li Yu raised her hand to stop Ruyi. “We don’t have enough manpower, and I can’t watch the gardener all the time. You have something to do too. How about this! I’ll stay at home and watch the children these days. I’ll go look for

Shopkeeper Chu and ask him to send someone to monitor the gardener.”

“Got it, Madam. I’ll be careful. He lives alone in the servants’ room at the back. We don’t usually pay much attention to him. I wonder what he’s done behind our backs?” Ruyi felt that he had been too careless.

“Don’t blame yourself. You can watch people, but you can’t see their hearts. We can’t let Yangyang and Seven Pounds get close to him.” Li Yu suddenly remembered that she had promised the two children to build a kennel in the back garden. She hurriedly instructed Ruyi, “Find some wood to make a kennel for the two of them in the corner of the eaves.”

“Got it.” Ruyi retreated.

Li Yu went out to the Four Seas Bank and told Chu Feng about the problem with her gardener. “Shopkeeper Chu, my family doesn’t have enough people. Find someone to follow me back and be a rough servant for a few days. Have this person watch the gardener and see what is up with him.”

Chu Feng thought to himself, “Only Lord Zhou and his wife are so open. They clearly know our identities, but they still asked me to send someone to stay at their house and follow their servants.”

Chu Feng thought for a while about the people in his hands and remembered a suitable one. “Madam Li, I have a subordinate called Yan Niang. She knows some work on the stove. Let her follow you back and help you do some work on the stove.”

Li Yu smiled and thanked Chu Feng. “Thank you, Shopkeeper Chu.”

Chu Feng instructed the servant outside the door. Soon, an extremely ordinary-looking woman in her thirties rushed to the main hall. The woman cupped her fists at Chu Feng and bowed. “Shopkeeper, I’m here.”

Chu Feng pointed at Li Yu and said to Yan Niang, “This is the magistrate’s wife.

Follow Madam Li back and listen to her instructions. You can’t disobey!”

Yan Niang bowed and replied, “I understand!” She turned around and bowed respectfully to Li Yu. “Greetings, Madam.”

Li Yu smiled politely and said, “Thank you.”

“You’re too kind, Madam.”

Now that she had found someone, Li Yu didn’t sit any longer. She smiled and stood up to bid farewell. “Shopkeeper Chu has many things to do at home, so

I’ll bring Yan Niang back.”

“Alright, Madam, take care.” Chu Feng smiled and sent Li Yu out the door.

In the carriage, Li Yu told Yan Niang about the situation at home and said to her, “When Gardener Jiang first came, we still observed him for a few days and didn’t find anything unusual. When we returned from the manor, I felt that something was wrong. We didn’t have enough people at home, so we could only ask Shopkeeper Chu for help and find someone to keep an eye on him.”

Hearing Li Yu’s gentle tone, Yan Niang had a good impression of her. She smiled and comforted Li Yu. “Madam, don’t worry. I’m not very skilled but I’m best at spying. I promise to keep a close eye on him.”

Li Yu brought Yan Niang back to the back office. She pointed at Yan Niang and said to Gu Yu and the others, “This is Yan Niang. She’s here to help take care of Yangyang and Seven Pounds. In the future, when you work together, everyone has to get along well.”

Gu Yu, Old Madam Liu, and the others replied loudly, “Yes, Madam.”

Yan Niang followed Li Yu around the back garden and saw the gardener. She noted his appearance and began to keep an eye on him.

Ruyi found a wooden board and made a kennel for the puppies of Yangyang and Seven Pounds according to Li Yu’s blueprint. He smiled and asked the two children who were playing with the puppies, “Young Master, you and Seven Pounds both have names. What names did you give the two puppies?”

When Yangyang and Seven Pounds heard this, they looked at the puppies and thought for a long time. Seven Pounds pointed at the white spots which looked like flowers on the puppy and said, “Father, I’ll name it Da Hua.”

“Da Hua.” Ruyi looked at the white spots on the puppy and nodded with a smile.

“Yes! That’s true. Da Hua is not bad. Young Master, haven’t you thought about

Yangyang looked at Ruyi and said with a smile, “Uncle Yi, I’ve thought about it.

I’ll call it Xiao Bai (Little White).”

“Xiao Bai?” The father and son looked at “Xiao Bail‘, who was chasing and biting Da Hua. Seven Pounds looked at Yangyang and smiled. “Young Master, it’s clearly Little Black!”

Yangyang ran over and picked up the little black dog. He pointed at the white spots above its eyes. “Look! It’s white here. Shouldn’t it be called Xiao Bai? Mother said that this is its other two eyes. She said that it has four eyes. Four eyes doesn’t sound good, but Xiao Bai sounds good.”

Seven Pounds raised his hand in agreement. “Yes! Xiao Bai sounds good, but

Four Eyes doesn’t.” Yangyang looked at Ruyi, who smiled and said, “Yes, Xiao Bai sounds good. I’ll call it Xiao Bai in the future.”

Yangyang looked at Ruyi. “Uncle Yi, Granny Liu made two straw mats for them.

When you finish building Da Hua and Xiao Bails small houses, Brother Seven

Pounds ana I will pad them. It won’t De cold at nignt. Father she said that they’re the young of hunting dogs and will watch the house to catch thieves.”

“Father Shi also said that they will also hunt when they grow up!” Seven Pounds pulled Yangyang and reminded him.

“Okay, when they grow up, we’ll take them hunting in the mountains.” Ruyi smiled. The two children held hands and jumped up happily..
