thousands of taels of silver, easier than robbing someone. Yet, they were taught this way."Jia smiled and nodded, "What's said in the house is always right."The little fat boy quickly gathered all the...Li Sao cried so hard she almost fainted, her legs softened and she knelt on the ground, clutching Li Laotai's leg and sobbing, "Aunt, our mistress died so unjustly! She was murdered by her own brother and sister-in-law. Even in death, she kept staring at Miss Li and wouldn't close her eyes!"

Lao Li's heart ached, and she wiped away tears as well.

How could such a good person as Mrs. Sun end up in such a situation!

Tao Hongying cried even harder. After all, she was a mother too, and Nannan and Funiu were the same age.

I wonder, if she died immediately, what she would be most worried about It must be her child!

Li Zhensheng frowned, instinctively feeling that this matter was not simple. However, the Sun family had done them a favor, and his mother also meant to help. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Mother, when our fleet returned, Li's wife brought the children and some merchants on board. After disembarking, they parted ways.

"I don't know about that. I wasn't aware that Mrs. Li and our family had such a history. If I had known, I would have taken better care of her on the way."

Li Saozi quickly said, "Don't blame the old master. It's been four or five years since we last saw each other. When I was on board, I only thought that Jia Yi looked familiar and his name sounded like someone I knew, but I didn't dare to recognize him."

“I originally planned to take Miss to join Mr. Sun in Xindu City, my Miss’s first cousin once removed. But after getting off the boat and staying at an inn for a few days, I heard people talking about new grain, how the Li family was doing, and after careful inquiries, I learned it was the aunt's family. I was so happy, I immediately went to find them.”

Having said that, she was afraid that the Li family would find it difficult for her, so she quickly added: "Auntie, I definitely want to take the young lady to seek refuge with Mr. Sun."

"But I'm unfamiliar with this place. Could I perhaps stay here at my aunt's for a while Inns have all sorts of people, and I'm afraid someone might cause trouble. I can't even close my eyes to sleep at night..."

Li Laotai quickly gave her a reassurance pill, “Don’t worry, when you come here, it's like coming home. Settle down for a while and recuperate. As for what's going on with Uncle Sun, I'll have someone look into it first. You guys can go over there later.”

Li Sao was overjoyed and wanted to kneel down in greeting, but the old lady helped her up. "Don't do that," she said. "Back when our family was struggling, Mrs. Sun helped us a lot. Now that you're doing well, we can't just ignore you."

Li Zhensheng thought more deeply, instructing Li's wife, "About what happened earlier with Mrs. Sun being poisoned, don't tell anyone else about it. After all, there is no evidence, and the child is still young. If outsiders knew, they might bring trouble to you and your child."

Li Sao quickly nodded, “I know, I definitely won’t say.”

Elder Li was racking her brain, pondering where to accommodate her daughter-in-law and the children in their house. She was starting to feel a bit worried as it seemed like there wasn't any more room left.

After all, Huiniang is here to recuperate after childbirth. Li Zhensheng, Li Laosi, and Jiayi, who were all outside, have also returned.

Tao Hongying said, "Mother, let Li's wife and the children live in Cui's courtyard. Tomorrow, whoever goes into the city can tell Cui's wife."

The old woman nodded. "Alright, Jinerou isn't someone who says much, but we should still say hello."

Tao Hongying hurriedly led Li's wife and Nannan to the next door. Nannan, perhaps happy about the meal, held two snacks tightly in her hand.

The old woman took the box of snacks and handed it to Li's wife. Tao Hongying also went to her closet and found a set of her own dress and a set for Fu Niuer, holding them in her arms, she led Li's wife and Nanny to Cui's courtyard.

Li Zhensheng went to wash and change his clothes, leaving Old Lady Li alone on the kang. She was still a bit unsettled.

At first, Mrs. Sun was like a Guanyin Bodhisattva to the Li family, saving them from all their troubles and hardships.

Now Guanyin has suddenly disappeared, and it's the Li family who have to save people from suffering.

It has to be said that fortunes ebb and flow, and the world is ever-changing...

Grandma He didn't know what Old Madam Li was thinking, but she glanced at the young mistress and couldn't help but speak up. "Old Madam, in the future, if this little girl from the Sun family comes over again, we should be more careful. This little girl is rather domineering. Although she doesn't like to talk, she likes to use her hands."

Like to get your hands dirty

Li Laotai didn't quite understand, so He Mama stepped forward and pulled out Jia Yin's right hand.

Jia Yin usually eats a lot, and she's also quite plump. Her little hands are as white and tender as pig trotters, with a few small dimples on her knuckles, which are incredibly cute.

But at this moment, two red marks appeared on the back of my hand. Although they weren't bleeding, they were broken and very noticeable!

Li Lao Tai's heart ached, she quickly picked up her granddaughter, "How did this happen Was it Nuan Nuan who scratched you"

Before Jia Yin could speak, He Mamā couldn't help but chide, "That little girl from the Sun family is so greedy. Even though Miss had given her some snacks, she wouldn't even share a bite with Miss."

"This old servant saw clearly, Miss reached out to take some snacks, but she snatched them over, her backhand turned red."

The old woman lowered her head and quickly blew air on her granddaughter's back, angry in her heart, but she couldn't chase after the little girl from the next-door Sun family. It was infuriating!

Instead, Jia Yin didn't feel any pain, and she didn't want to make her grandmother embarrassed. She sat in her grandmother's arms and said, "Grandma, I don't hurt."

"You silly girl, how could you not be in pain!" Li Laotai hugged her granddaughter tightly, regretting that she was too shocked and saddened when she heard about the passing of her daughter-in-law to notice that her granddaughter had been bullied.

Jiayin actually didn't mind much. She was born with a memory and still remembered when Sun's wife held her, gave her clothes, a gold necklace, and a substantial amount of silver to her family.

She couldn't possibly hold a grudge against a little girl, even if it was just for Sun Fuzi's sake.

Moreover, they were just two shallow scratches, they'll be fine in a while.

It's more important to soothe Grandma for now.

Jia Yin hugged her grandmother's face and kissed each cheek, "Grandma, don't be angry. Jia Yin doesn't have a mother anymore, but Fu Niu has Grandma and Mother!"

Li Laotai was taken aback, then she hugged her granddaughter and sighed with a smile, "My dear Funiu, you're truly a kind and good child! You know that Nuan Nuan is pitiful, so you don't blame her, do you Then from now on, let's stay away from her. Grandma won't let you play with her anymore, okay"

"Okay, Nannan, come here. Funiu can go play with her brother."

Jiayin coaxed the old lady into a smile, and Grandma He on the side was pleased.

Such a kind and well-behaved little master, as long as she serves well, she definitely won't have a hard time when she gets old...

At dinner time, Grandma He personally went to the Cui family to deliver a bowl of braised noodles, and Tao Hongying also steamed a bowl of egg custard for Nanny with her own hands.

After the Li family finished eating noodles together, the old woman started talking about the Sun family's affairs.

With the children present, the old woman glossed over the fact that Mrs. Sun had been poisoned, simply saying that the Sun family had fallen on hard times and come to seek refuge with relatives, staying at their house for a few days.

After saying this, she instructed her eldest son, "Zhen Sheng, you're familiar with the city. These few days, find someone to inquire about the elder uncle of the Sun family."

Li Zhensheng heard this with surprise. Earlier, his mother had clearly said to keep the Sun family's servants for a while longer and slowly inquire about the Sun family's affairs.

What's with all the urgency now

But he didn't ask any further, just nodded in agreement.

The next morning, Li Zhensheng went into the city again, but unexpectedly, Mr. Wen brought people to visit.

Li Lao'er, hearing the news from the Onsen Valley, rushed back.

Because Mr. Wen wasn't an outsider, Old Lady Li also brought Jia Yin over to join the excitement.

Mr. Wen still had business to attend to at his office. He didn't have time for much pleasantries this time and got straight to the point...y of her granddaughter in a few sentences.The purpose is to let the eldest son know that the Marquis's kindness towards his family is not without reason, and in the future, he can act with confidence...
