ter-in-law spoke succinctly, her tone laced with a hint of pride.People from her familiar village hurried to ask."What's going on Where are you guys going You wouldn't actually climb the mountain your...Old Madam Wang nodded, understanding the whole story thoroughly. However, she was even more worried now.

Investigating the assassination of Marquis Xinting is personally overseen by the Emperor.

Now, suddenly bringing their whole family into this... the Emperor must know about it by now, yet he has done nothing to stop it.

Then, thinking back to the Imperial Court's decree...

Could it be that the Emperor is using this incident to reprimand the Wang family, and by extension, all the aristocratic families of Jiangnan!

The old man Wang frowned deeper and deeper, a cold sweat coating his back.

"Let's go back home!"

The Wang family's carriage sped away quickly, leaving the petty official with a silver coin in his hand. He spat out a mouthful of dirt and muttered angrily, "Scared like that, even abandoning his own son! Sure enough, there's nothing good about the Wang family!"

In the government office, Wang E and Wang Zhong were beaten to a pulp, thrown into prison, and awaited their dispatch to the southwest for hard labor.

Li Zhensheng and Li Lao'er once again thanked the magistrate and the local people, then got into Wang Fu's carriage that had arrived.

In the carriage, Li Ge'er and Mao Ge'er held each other tightly. They hadn't seen their mother being beaten, but they instinctively knew that something was wrong...their mother wouldn't have a good outcome...

Although Dad is right, mistakes should be punished, but it's their mother after all, and it's inevitable to feel heartbroken.

Li Zhensheng got on the car and immediately hugged the two children, "Don't be afraid, it's all over now. Dad will take you to see Grandma."

The two children remained silent, which made Li Laoer feel sorry for them. He gently touched their hair and chuckled, chatting with them casually, "Li Ge'er, Mao Ge'er, I'm your second uncle. Let's go back to grandma's house together. You know, grandma's house has a hot spring resort, it's especially beautiful and lively. There's also an orchard on the mountain where you can climb trees and pick fruit, and melon fields where you can sit in the field and eat cold melons and fragrant melons…"

"It's a shame the melon fields are closed for now, but next year Uncle will plant even more. You can have your fill! You can go to the melon fields with your brothers, fish in the river together, and even go into the mountains with your fourth uncle to hunt wild rabbits and quail. They caught quite a few wild pigeons the other day."

The little cat was playful and eager to listen, his eyes shining brightly.

Little Li Ge'er, being well-behaved, asked in a low voice: "Uncle Two, will my father get better if I am by Grandma's side"

"Yes," Li Lao Er nodded, reaching out to hug Li Ge in his arms. Looking into his eyes, he solemnly promised: "Uncle promises you, I will definitely cure your father. You are my Li family's people. Your father has suffered a lot, and we traveled thousands of miles to find you here. So your father will be fine, and our whole family will live together happily ever after."

You will study in the new schoolhouse built in the village, learn martial arts and strengthen your body with your fourth uncle, play with your brothers and sisters, eat delicious food made by your fourth aunt, and be loved by your grandmother and the whole family!

Perhaps sensing the determination in Ershu's words, Liguer's eyes turned red.

If Second Uncle said all these things would be there, then not having a mother wouldn't seem so unbearable...

Autumn weather is a rare refreshing time in the year.

The sky was cloudless, a piercing blue. The autumn wind brought a hint of coolness, blowing gently everywhere.

Finally, the farmers who had been busy harvesting for autumn, now have time to appreciate the scenery.

Either walking with hands behind one's back in the fields or lying in the grass gazing at the sky, both bring immense comfort to the mind.

Similarly, the number of guests at Hot Spring Valley has been unusually high these days.

Soaking in the hot springs, sipping tea, chatting idly, and occasionally leaning against a large rock to look at the sky. There's really nothing more pleasant than this.

In the new village, wood and stone are already being transported to prepare for the construction of a school.

After finishing the autumn harvest, the villagers didn't rest for a day and immediately busied themselves with this matter.

Working hard is naturally tiring, but not a single villager complained of being tired.

This is all for the children's education, for the future of the new village. No matter how hard or tiring it is, they feel sweet in their hearts!

The old woman felt a bit unsettled these days, for no apparent reason.

He wandered around the yard aimlessly in the morning, picking up a watering can and putting it down again, chopping a head of cabbage but not knowing what to do with it. He seemed as restless as a fly without purpose, bumping into things everywhere.

She finally let out a sigh and sat under the eaves, frowning and sighing, “I'm really getting old. I can’t do anything right anymore.”

Jia Yin ran back from the neighboring yard and saw that grandma wasn't happy. She quickly rushed into grandma's arms and extended her small hand to rub grandma's brow, "Grandma, be happy! Here's some silver for you!"

As she said this, her small hand flipped over, and a silver ingot appeared in her palm, which she then slipped into the old woman's hands.

The old woman was startled and quickly looked around. Seeing that there were no outsiders, she let out a sigh of relief.

She patted her granddaughter's hand and scolded in a low voice, "I've told you so many times, don't just take things outside, be careful of being mistaken for a fairy and taken away!"

Then, she stuffed the silver into her granddaughter's hand, "Keep it, grandma doesn't need silver."

Jia Yin wasn't afraid at all. She took the silver with a smile and picked up a watermelon, "Mama, come eat watermelon with Fu Niu, it's sweet!"

The old woman didn't refuse this time. She carefully cut open the watermelon, saved the seeds, and then sat under the eaves with her granddaughter, eating and chatting.

"Funiu, Grandma's heart is really pounding with worry. I don't know if something bad is going to happen. But everything at home is fine, maybe I'm overthinking things."

"Well," Jia Yin said, a stray watermelon seed perched on her nose as she nodded emphatically. "You're overthinking it."

Grandma Li was amused and started laughing. She quickly picked up some melon seeds and wiped her granddaughter's little nose clean, saying, “Little glutton, you're getting more sensible every day. You even know how to comfort Grandma.”

Just as they were talking, Li Lao Si came in from outside. Seeing his mother's smiling face, he secretly let out a sigh of relief.

When Second Brother left earlier, he carefully gave him a few instructions. Only then did he realize that Second Brother and the others were plotting something big, wanting to bring Big Brother home.

But can the Wang family let people go It feels very difficult no matter how you think about it.

He didn't know how things were on the other side of the city at this moment. Suddenly panicked, he decided to return and guard his mother. "Mother, how is Young Master Ye"

"Not bad, Dongmei's taking care of things here. I was thinking of going for a walk in the valley," Li Lao Tai said, breaking off another piece of the half watermelon she held and shoving it into her son's hand.

Li Lao Si jumped in fright and quickly stopped her, saying, "Mother, I just saw Dong Mei leave. Perhaps Young Master Ye has something to say. These days, Mother should pay more attention to Young Master Ye, and don't go to the valley anymore. Just take care of Young Master Ye and Fu Niu."

"Winter Plum left without saying a word to me" The old woman wondered, but still replied, "Well, rest assured. Young Master Ye is able to walk around now, so there isn't too much work to do."

As she spoke, she took Funiu to the next courtyard.

Li Laosi let out a sigh of relief and took a bite of watermelon.

The watermelon, which used to be so sweet it felt like it would rot your teeth, now tasted bland. He couldn't help but look towards the direction of Xindu, his heart pounding with anticipation...

Young Master Ye was strolling leisurely in the courtyard. Seeing the old woman approaching, he smiled and said, "Aunt, why haven't you rested Maybe there will be a big happy event at home soon. When that time comes, you'll be so busy that you won't even have time to sleep."

The old woman heard this and asked in confusion, "Good news My eyelids have been twitching non-stop today, and I was worried something bad would happen. So it's good news"

Young Master Ye smiled but said nothing, while Jia Yin seemed to have guessed something and laughed like a little fox.

The old woman was even more confused, "What's going on Even Funiu knows"

Before she could ask further, there was a commotion outside. She turned and left.ders and said, "Spring will be here soon, so we won't need to ride in a carriage anymore."There were some horses in the military camp that got injured on the battlefield. I had people take care of the...
