Chapter 402: Heaven Martial's Final Line of Defense!
Marquis and Li Yong in the military camp, but she didn't want to call them back because of such a trivial matter.Then, Li Lao Si said: "I will go tomorrow to get Da Yong back and bring some food to t...>
Just like fledglings returning to their nest, the children rushed towards their mothers or elders.
But Fu Niuer was different. She ran straight to Madam Liu's legs and said with a smile, "Aunt, your garden is so big! You can plant so many melons!"
Not just Mrs. Liu, but all the women present couldn't help but laugh.
A four or five-year-old little girl, she is at the age of being greedy for food and play, no matter how you look at her, she is adorable and innocent.
Those two women just went blind! Blaming anyone but themselves, they actually said this little girl was the one bullying people. How is that even possible!
Mrs. Liu hugged Jiayin and used her handkerchief to wipe away her sweat, asking, "Just now a little girl ran back to say that you bullied her. Auntie believes that Funiu is a good child. Tell Auntie, what happened"
Jia Yin scratched her head and blinked, replying, "That Lan Lan sister wanted Fu Niu er to fall down, she wanted Fu Niu er's head to hit the stone table…"
Before she could finish her words, both Tao Hongying and Lao Tai Li became anxious.
They quickly rushed over and held Jiayin, carefully checking the back of her head.
Even the usually taciturn Mrs. Trevelyan changed color, and rushed forward to take Miss Ainsworth's hand.
Everyone was dumbfounded, unable to understand why the Li family was so nervous.
Zhi Min said a few more words, clarifying things for everyone.
"When Fu Niu Er was little, she got injured on the back of her head and still has a scar. One more bump and she'll be knocked silly! Lan Lan took advantage of Fu Niu Er squatting down to pick something up and actually stepped on her skirt hem, trying to make her fall!"
The other children, especially the little girls, also started chattering away.
"Lala could get hurt, we just got here and she's already trying to push Funiu down!"
Yes, let's play, she's not joining either, and she even wants to harm Fu Niao!
"It was she who bullied others, and yet she ran away crying!"
One child may tell a lie, but the probability of a group of children lying is lower.
By this time, everyone was already leaning towards Jia Yin's side. Hearing their own child complain like this, how could they not be angry
"The little girl is not very tall, but her heart is so vicious"
"Yeah, she was crying so pitifully just now. If you didn't know better, you'd think someone had bullied her."
"At such a young age, you're so scheming."
People talked a mile a minute, all with expressions of disgust.
At this moment, Li Laotai and Tao Hongying, as well as Cui's wife, had also confirmed that the children were unharmed. They all breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Lao tightly held her granddaughter, not even believing her daughter-in-law. Only when she was held in her arms did she feel at ease.
Perhaps afraid that everyone would think the Li family was making a fuss, she sighed and said a few words.
As you all know, our family came from the northern regions as refugees. The county princess was born on the road to escape famine. She suffered a lot. Just as we were about to reach Jinshajiang Wharf, she was ambushed by barbarians.
In the commotion, this child fell and hit their head, falling unconscious for a long time before waking up. So, our whole family can't help but love this child a little more, I hope you won't laugh at us.
"No, no, Madam Li is too kind." A woman hurriedly shook her head, comforting Old Madam Li, "Every family has children. Which parent wouldn't rather suffer themselves than see their child hurt"
The other women also said, "Yes, the child is so young, yet he has suffered so much."
"Now things have turned for the better, and from now on, the county princess will be very fortunate."
"Of course, the county princess was personally appointed by the Emperor and has the emperor's blessing."
Li Laotai smiled and nodded, thanking the crowd, "I appreciate your kind words. As long as our child is safe and sound, our family doesn't have any other wishes."
Jia Yin listened with a smile, occasionally picking up a piece of pastry and munching on it, nodding happily from time to time. She was truly as well-behaved as one could be, and as adorable as could be.
This also made the women present watch with greater fondness, wanting to give birth to such a plump and chubby daughter at home after.
Actually, Jia Yin had already turned it over in her mind countless times.
I thought I was going to have another showdown with Little Green Tea, but before she could even arrive on the battlefield, the "war" ended.
It is evident that Little Green Tea has been quickly tidied up by grandma and mother!
She was incredibly curious about how it happened, but now wasn't the time to pry. Be a good girl and don't let your mother and grandmother down! That's the most important thing right now!
Soon, the banquet was ready.
Unbeknownst to the crowd in the front yard, a small commotion had just taken place in the back. It was almost time for the feast to begin.
I didn't want to, but at this moment, the lord arrived unexpectedly and brought a generous gift.
Actually, he didn't bring gifts. Just his presence at the event already surprised and envied everyone.
This is Xinting Marquis, a renowned military marquis. The people and the court both recognize him as Tianwu's last line of defense!
The Golden Sand River cannot stop the barbarian's iron hooves, but Lord Xīn Tíng can!
It was he who, at the crucial moment, led his troops out on campaign, fearless in the face of death, bravely fighting the enemy, driving back the barbarians approaching the Jinsha River time and again for hundreds of miles, defending against the enemy outside!
Even the most unscrupulous officials in court would not dare utter a single bad word about Marquis Xinting.
This is the last of Tenwu's remaining backbone!
He's definitely not like the soft Dingbei Marquis! He's a real blade and shield of Heaven's Martial prowess, someone you can truly rely on and trust.
And Marquis Xinting rarely attended palace banquets, most disliking attending such social occasions.
To my surprise, he actually came to the Liu family in person!
Some people have deep thoughts and think a lot.
Elder Master Liu just returned to the court, Liu Ziheng was also appointed as a fourth-rank official, and the Marquis is the emperor's cousin, the most staunch supporter of the emperor. Does this mean that the Liu family is also on the emperor's side...
Not to mention the lively front yard, people in the back yard also began to eat.
The Liu family is a hundred-year-old family with deep roots, so their chefs naturally have some outstanding signature dishes.
Everyone ate it very sweetly and praised it endlessly. Then again, the special dishes eaten elsewhere were also very harmonious.
At this time, when someone mentioned Xian Kelei, they were all curious about the spicy and savory dishes of Xian Kelei.
Tao Hongying said that seasonings were also brought over from overseas, just like potatoes and corn, two excellent varieties. The crowd became even more excited, saying they would all try them later.
Jia Yin looked at her mother talking about the ingredients and dishes, her face lit up. She became even more eager to prepare her mother's signature dishes as soon as possible.
After the meal, the women and children rested for most of the afternoon before the banquet in the front yard finally dispersed.
One by one, people said goodbye and went home. Li's family, including his wife and mother-in-law, and Mrs. Cui also walked outside.
Mrs. Liu was very apologetic, supporting Old Madam Li, "Aunt, I'm so sorry to have caused you trouble today. I will visit your home another day to make amends."
"Family shouldn't speak like outsiders!" Li lao tai patted Liu fu ren's arm, her expression showing not a hint of resentment.
"Who doesn't have a few troublesome relatives Besides, it's a happy day today, and people come to celebrate even if they shouldn't. You can't drive them away on such an occasion! Don't take this little thing to heart. After all, our child hasn't lost out!"
Mrs. Liu laughed and grew even closer to Old Lady Li, "Good, sister-in-law, in a few days Jinrou will go back to the estate, and I'll go with her for a few days too. Although things are good at home, somehow I always feel more at ease at our estate."I'll definitely go back tonight.""Don't forget to buy some pickled plums from Chengnan Jiaji for your second aunt. She's been loving them lately." Jiayin reminded with a smile.This made Jiahuan blush,...
