Chapter 827 Disguise Successful!

many."Jia Yin nodded vigorously, with a wave of her hand twenty clean eggs appeared on the platform. Lao Tai Li quickly covered them and put them in the furthest corner, blocking them with a grain bag..."Hmph, you're one I raised! As soon as you wag your tail, I know you're about to drop a few droppings!"

Grandma Li nearly had her bun undone by her granddaughter's bouncing. She quickly smoothed it down with one hand and pinched her granddaughter's cheek lightly with the other, saying, "No, that's just no! Don't pester me, I absolutely won't let you into the city!"

Jia Yin's voice had died down, her mouth pouted in a pitiful pout, her head hung low. Even the golden butterfly hairpin on top of her hair seemed to lack its usual vibrancy.

"Well, if not, then not. I know Grandma's doing this for my own good, but..."

"Staying home all day feels like being trapped in a cage like a bird, without freedom. It's truly pitiful!"

She was speaking, her voice choked with emotion, "If there are always bad people out there who want to hurt me, am I supposed to stay hidden at home forever"

"A year, two years, five years or ten years, when will it ever end It's better not to live at all..."

Old Mrs. Li couldn't stand this, she felt heartbroken at the time.

The granddaughter was pampered from birth, getting everything she wanted: stars if she asked for them, the moon if she desired it. When had she ever been so wronged!

She couldn't even bother with her hair bun anymore, she reached over and hugged her granddaughter, comforting her.

"My dear Funi, don't cry, don't cry. It's Grandma who's not good! Grandma can't speak well and made you sad!

"Grandma, she's doing this for your own good. She's worried that if you go out, bad people might take advantage of you. If even a single scratch happens to you, not even a bruise or a lost hair, Grandma wouldn't bear it!"

Jia Yin nestled in Grandma's arms, becoming even more choked with sobs.

"I know Grandma did this for my own good, but I've been stuck at home for over a month and haven't stepped outside.

"

"I'm not going out to have fun, I just want to take a look at two new shops. In the future, I'll be in charge of repairs and management. I definitely won't go there again. Isn't that okay"

"Could I disguise myself as a maid or servant and follow my brothers discreetly Would that be alright"

"Or, I could hide under the carriage and sneak into the city..."

Initially, Old Lady Li felt sympathy, but as her granddaughter's story became more and more outlandish, she came to her senses.

As expected, she pulled her granddaughter out of her arms. The little girl's face showed no tears, just a blank stare as if struck by lightning but with no rain.

Li Laotai was so angry that she couldn't help but laugh and cry. She scolded: "You little wretch, you only know how to play tricks on this old woman!"

"Hehehe," Jiayin's secret was out. She quickly switched back to her coquettish act, giggling and clinging to her grandmother. "Grandma, please agree! I promise I won't get into trouble!"

"I'm about the same size as Zheng Qi, so I'll disguise myself as him and be back in two hours!"

Brother Cat often bickers with his little sister, but he truly pampers her.

He also came forward and helped plead, "Grandma, just let Funi go out for a bit."

"My brothers and I followed him, letting her pretend to be a maidservant. With a group of over ten people, no one would suspect anything. We'll all go back together, and nothing will happen."

"Funiu'er has always been in charge of everything since she was little, and it's a habit for her to run outside every day. Keeping her locked up at home like this, what if she gets sick from being cooped up Then you'll be the one worrying about her!"

To be honest, the last two sentences really scared Old Lady Li.

Previously, her granddaughter pretended to be sick. Although she knew it was fake, every time she looked at her, she would feel sad and couldn't eat.

It's unimaginable to think what she would do if her granddaughter were truly sick.

Seeing that her grandmother hesitated, Jia Yin immediately jumped up. "Grandma, wait a moment, I'll dress up as Zheng Qi for you."

Saying that, she ran back to the bedroom and into the space, quickly getting dressed.

The time difference between inside and outside allowed her to be very composed, taking care of everything from head to toe...

Old Lady Li didn't take her granddaughter's little tricks seriously at first. As a result, when the door creaked open and she turned around, she was stunned.

A boy, about half grown, came in. He wore gray clothes, was thin and had dark skin. As he walked, his body leaned slightly forward, giving him an air of deference.

At first glance, no one would suspect that this was Zheng Qi, the little servant of Cat Brother!

Just be a little more careful, and no one will discover that you're dressed as a man.

"My goodness, you really do look alike!" Old Mrs. Li was incredibly curious, peering at her granddaughter from front to back, and kept asking, "Why are your neck and hands so dark Did you smear them with soot"

Jia Yin chuckled with glee, spinning around triumphantly. Taking the opportunity to tempt the old woman, she said, "Grandma, when you're free, I'll dress you up as a man too. Then you'll know."

She's learned a lot of different skills in the past few years.

Just a simple change of clothes and makeup, pretending to be a boy is child's play.

She seized the moment and said, “Grandma, Seven Brother and I will accompany you back to the old house right now. If anyone discovers our disguise on the way, I won't enter the city.”

"But if no one discovers it, then the disguise is a success, undetectable. You'll allow me to go out for two hours, won't you"

Li Lao Tai was worn down, and feeling sorry for her granddaughter, she said, "Alright, let's go home now."

The three generations, after a simple tidy-up, left the County Princess's Mansion.

Ma Ge er supported Grandma as she walked ahead, while Chang Mama trailed behind one step.

Jia Yin carried a basket, filled with two bunches of small white cabbages and seven or eight pears.

She bent slightly at the waist as she walked at the back.

At this time, the villagers were just about to have lunch. The women in each household were either carrying firewood or going down into the cellar to fetch potatoes and cabbages.

Sometimes when she saw Old Lady Li and her entourage passing by, a woman would stop her work and greet them with a smile, "Old Madam, are you going to the county magistrate's residence"

"Indeed!" Old Li chuckled in response, "With nothing to do, I came out for a stroll. Spending all day on the kang doing needlework, my bones are aching."

While talking, Li Laotai called Jia Yin again, "Zheng Qi, bring two pears for Wang's wife."

Jia Yin quickly stepped forward and handed over two pears.

The woman was very happy, and a little embarrassed. She took the pear and ran back into the house to bring Li Lao Tai a small bowl of mustard greens.

"Grandma, I heard our house didn't pickle mustard greens this year. If you don't mind, please try some from my house!"

"Well then," Old Lady Li said, letting Chang Mama take it. She smiled and said, "Lately, I've been craving shredded radish mixed with chili oil after my porridge in the morning. You just happened to bring this over! What a coincidence."

The woman was overjoyed and exclaimed, "I have pickled a whole jar! When the old madam is finished, feel free to come and take some!"

After chatting for a while, Li Laotai and her group continued on their way home.

I ran into a mischievous boy again. The mischievous boy brought out a big bowl of mushroom chicken stew.

Upon seeing Madam Li, he immediately bowed. Before she could inquire, he said, “Madam, I killed a chicken at home and my mother asked me to bring a bowl of soup to Master Zhao.”

"Oh, my dear children, that's right! Back when we were fleeing on the road, you little ones were all looked after by your Grandpa Zhao and the others. They went through a lot of hardship for you."

"Now that you are all grown up and know how to be filial, that's a good thing!"

Grandma Li smiled and patted the mischievous boy's back, then shouted, "Zheng Qi, give Niuwa two pears!"ring who he was, and then frowned coldly, "Minister of Revenue Guan If this Marquis remembers correctly, your thirty-year-old son took a farm girl as a concubine last month."The old father of the farm...
