Chapter 1129 Two Unremarkable Chests

added, "Most of the gold, silver, and jewelry in my dowry were brought to the Cui family by my mother, all with marks on them. My lord should not try to hide them; otherwise, if anyone sees one later...Li Laotai saw that her granddaughter's forehead was all red, so she quickly picked up her granddaughter and patted her gently to comfort her.

“Your mother can be quick-tempered, but what she says makes sense. You seem like a smart child, but you tend to get stuck on things. Whoever you let into your heart, you want to protect them fiercely. If something goes wrong, you feel it’s your fault!

"You shouldn't think that way, you're still a child. You have others to take care of you, there's no need for you to work hard."

"Even if it requires you to work hard, it's over from now on. Your mother and I are back! We can't handle it ourselves, and what about your uncle and brothers!"

"Tell them to fight, to kill, to figure it out! The men of the Li family aren't useless! If they can't protect you and keep you safe, what good are they They just eat our rice for nothing!"

Li Lao Tai was speaking, and she wished she could pull all her grandchildren out to give them a good beating.

Who let them neglect her, causing their granddaughter to suffer!

"Yes, just stay home and mind your own business from now on!"

Tao Hongying chimed in, after some thought, she said to her mother-in-law, “Mother, it’s still not a good idea. If that young ruffian from the Lu family loses face and spreads this around, our Fu Niuer’s reputation will be ruined, it would be too much of a loss. Why don't we let Fu Niuer go with the fleet to Quanzhou…”

Upon hearing this, Jia Yin immediately became anxious. "Mother, the situation is dire right now, it's a crucial time, I can't leave!"

Tao Hongying glared and snapped, "You're just a little girl. What use are you here Just listen to me and go live in Quanzhou for a while. Wait until your father and the Marquis finish their northern campaign, then come back."

Jia Yin didn't know how to explain to her mother. Just as she was getting anxious, a white shadow suddenly darted in from outside the window, startling Tao Hongying who pulled the old woman and her daughter behind her!

"Mother, don't worry! There are three!" Jia Yin quickly said.

Three

Li Lao Tai and Tao Hongying took a closer look. Squatting on the table, wagging its bushy tail, wasn't it just the little fox they kept at home

Tao Hongying couldn't help but step forward, patted the little fox's hand, and said reproachfully, "Where did you go to be naughty You came back in the middle of the night and scared someone to death!"

Li Lao Tai beckoned with a smile, calling to the little fox, "Come here, three. The boat convoy brought back dried fish for you again! You'll be able to eat your fill tomorrow when they deliver it at the dock."

The little fox immediately scurried into the old woman's arms, chirping and coquettishly begging for attention, its big tail rubbing against the old woman's chin, causing her to laugh.

Tao Hongying also pulled out a coarse linen cloth and wiped the little fox's paws. At last, she casually asked, "It seems like Sanqiao has gained a lot of weight Who has been taking care of it recently Has someone been feeding it too much meat"

Jia Yin was taken aback, and suddenly realized something was amiss.

When she first left the palace, she entrusted three of them to the third princess to keep her company and relieve her boredom.

But the third princess is married, so who has been taking care of the little fox these days

It doesn't look like it's been sleeping poorly or suffering at all!

The little fox's eyes darted around, then it quickly jumped out of the old woman's arms and squatted down in front of Jiayin, chirping and waving its two front paws.

Jia Yin listened for a while, then whispered, "You mean the black box from Kunning Palace was moved"

"Chirp!" The little fox nodded, becoming even more cheerful in its cries.

Jia Yin frowned and asked a few more questions, the little fox responded with waving hands and dancing feet.

Li Laotai and Tao Hongying were both so astonished by the exchange between the fox and the man that they didn't dare to make a sound.

Although she had known for a long time that her daughter had some magical abilities, and the little fox wasn't ordinary either, but...

Jia Yin stroked the little fox's soft fur and gave it two fish cakes. Then she said, "If you're not tired, go back early. There are many people in the palace these days, so be careful."

The little fox hugged the fish-shaped cracker and happily nibbled on it.

Jia Yin looked up to see surprise on her mother and grandmother's faces, so she carefully explained a few things.

"Grandma, mother, little fox is clever by nature. After spending some time with me, it will be able to communicate a few simple words. Before I stayed in the palace, I relied on it to find out quite a bit of information."

"Now that the third princess is married and the crown prince has returned to the palace, I shouldn't stay here any longer. But someone in the palace is afraid their time is running out. They are ruthless and eccentric. I worry they will harm my foster father and the northern army. The little fox keeps watch on the palace for me, and will return with news if anything happens."

"Therefore, I can't leave Xindu for now. At the very least, I have to wait until my foster father and biological father return safely."

Li Laotai and Tao Hongying looked at each other, both sighing.

Jia Yin didn't dare to stay any longer, fearing that her mother and grandmother would insist on sending her away. She quickly said, "After the third princess returns home tomorrow night, the palace will announce the Empress's death. At that time, my grandmother and I will have to go to the palace every day to mourn."

"Mother doesn't need to worry, but the household, Earl's Mansion, and the village all need to be taken care of. Be careful not to offend anyone or give others a handle on us."

"Let me go back to my room and get some things. It's easy to get heatstroke in this weather."

After saying that, she hugged the little fox and went back to her room, then quickly hid in the space.

The little fox was delighted and immediately ran to eat fruit and patrol its territory.

Jia Yin found an ice cream and ate it in a few bites, which finally calmed her down.

Actually, it's not really an excuse to say I'm preparing things.

When a queen dies, she must be in mourning for at least seven days. All officials of rank three and above, as well as those with imperial honors, must also mourn for seven days.

At her age, it's tough.

Moreover, especially for the elderly, it's likely they wouldn't be able to last even a day.

Jiayin didn't want to cause trouble for her grandmother just after she returned home.

But the Li family was also in a difficult position and couldn't take leave.

If you have to, just try your best to protect yourself.

The water bag with a straw that Uncle Two and the others used when they last sealed off the Crown Prince was quite good.

Products from Zhengjiazhuang are always of the highest quality.

She still has five or six of them here, enough to use.

There are also pills for invigorating the mind and clearing away heat, knee pads for protection during prolonged kneeling, and convenient food for hunger relief...

Jia An was delighted to be back home. He was led by Mao Ge'er, Zhi Min, Xiu Jie, and Guo Wenhao to stay in the guest room on Ye's family large kang (heated bed).

The Lord had been away from home for a long time, and in his absence only Dongmei looked after the courtyard. It was truly deserted.

Now, she was delighted that several young boys came to stay with her.

Not only did they prepare cooling tea, but they also had fruit platters, snacks, and melon seeds and peanuts.

The young boys had secretly sipped some wine a while ago. Now, slightly tipsy, they were in high spirits. After thanking Auntie Mei, they gathered together, eating and chatting, their laughter echoing far and wide.

Outside the courtyard, the occasional village patrolmen and veterans who heard it felt a deep sense of security.

It wasn't until late at night that the courtyard, both inside and outside, and the village, both inside and outside, finally fell silent...

The next morning, because there was no court meeting, Li La Er, Mr. Wen, and Liu Zhi Heng all stayed behind to have breakfast together.

After the meal, Mao Ge'er and his companions reluctantly brought several baskets of chilled lychees with Li Lao San back to Luo An.

Li Laosan was reluctant to leave, but his mother had returned to live permanently. The academy would be on holiday in half a month anyway, so there was no need to dwell on this brief reunion.

And several of the boys are lively and can't just be left to make their own way.

Most importantly, during times of crisis, if someone plots against him, he can also look after things on his side.

Jia Huan remembered the wine shop and went back to the city.

Since he lived nearby, he could still come back in the evening to have dinner and chat with his grandmother.

At this time, Zheng Wu personally led people back with four carriages.

Housekeeper Jia An gave Jia Yin a wink. Jia Yin understood and got up to go to the door with her brother.

Two unassuming wooden chests, hidden among a pile of sea cargo, were carried to the County Princess's mansion.
