When Dongmei found this place, the boys were already playing games.
She stepped forward and picked up Jiayin, pulled off the handkerchief and wiped her face, "Girl, the old lady is cooking. She is thinking about you and asked me to take you back."
"Okay," Jiayin nodded and nodded. Yawning, she nestled in Dongmei's arms and waved to her brothers.
Jia An Jia Xi also rarely had free time to play with her friends, so she waved her hand and did not follow him back.
Seeing that there was no one around, Jiayin had a rare opportunity, so he leaned into Dongmei's ear and said a few words.
Dongmei looked weird, but she still responded.
When the two returned to Li's yard, the old lady was picking vegetables. Seeing that her granddaughter was eating like a kitten, she rushed to give her a bath.
There is a hot spring in the house, so taking a bath is the easiest thing.
Soon, Jiayin had a good bath, changed her clothes and sat in Dongmei's arms, waiting for her to talk about returning to the city.
Dongmei hesitated for a moment and then said, "Old madam, I'm afraid the Marquis will return from the expedition on the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he has to go to Xindu to enter the palace to attend the palace banquet first. But there are not many people in the Marquis's residence, can you please join us? Let's go over together and clean the Marquis's mansion..."
This is really not a good excuse. Why is there a shortage of cleaning servants in such a big Marquis' mansion.
But Mrs. Li had no doubt at all, and was even happy to do some work for Mr. Hou.
She agreed immediately, and Jiayin immediately hugged grandma's neck and shouted happily, "Grandma, take Fu Niu with you!"
Mrs. Li kissed her granddaughter, doting and scolding, "You clingy spirit, who did grandma leave behind? " , I can't forget you."
Dongmei breathed a sigh of relief, and when she was about to speak, Li Laoer brought Liu Yang and Jiayi with a sullen face, and a strange man came in.
Dongmei stood up as soon as she saw the man, "Butler, why are you here?"
Butler? The butler of the Hou Mansion?
Mrs. Li was confused when she heard this. She dropped the vegetable basket and stood up.
The man was indeed the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, but he was bowing to the old lady very respectfully. He obviously knew how differently the Marquis treated the Li family and did not dare to show any slightness.
As soon as everyone was seated, before tea was served, the village chief, Li Laosi, and Liu Biaotou all arrived.
The chief steward was in a hurry to go back and didn't make any detours. After a brief exchange of greetings, he talked about Hua Ruyue and others, and then continued.
"In Xindu, rumors are flying all over the sky about our Marquis. They say that the girls from the Feitian Song and Dance Troupe were recruited by the Marquis, and Xindu is disturbed. I see that the momentum is not good, and I am afraid that someone will take advantage of this to bring trouble to the Marquis. I'm throwing dirty water, but I can't contact Mr. Hou for a while, so I can only come over and ask, do you know the date of Mr. Hou's return?"
Everyone frowned. They didn't expect that the matter would become such a big deal, and Hua Ruyue and others were so friendly. Shameless.
Jiayi and Liu Yang were even more guilty and regretful. If they had not been tricked by those people from the song and dance troupe, they would not have been tricked and would have harmed the Marquis again.
The Marquis went to war and was bloody on the battlefield, but no one praised him. Now because of such a bad thing, he has to be laughed at and insulted by others.
Dongmei whispered to the housekeeper that Mr. Hou would definitely come back during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there were only four or five days left.
The butler felt relieved, said goodbye and went back quickly.
It's a shame to leave everyone sitting together.
Li Laosi was the first to reflect, "It's all my fault for causing all this trouble." However,
Jiayi and Liu Yang stepped forward and knelt down, admitting their mistakes with red eyes.
"It's not the fault of Fourth Uncle, it's us. We didn't keep our mouth shut and told those women all the details of our family."
Liu Biaotou didn't know the details of the whole story. When he heard what his son said, he stared.
"How many times have I told you that you can't tell the truth to anyone when you go out? Why don't you remember it!"
Jiayi and Liu Yang both shed tears of regret. Jiayi even took the initiative to get his father's ruler. He presented it to Liu Biaotou.
Bouncer Liu was really angry and slapped the two boys' mouths several times.
Even if he retained his strength, the mouths of the two boys were beaten like sausages, red and swollen.
For three to five days, let alone talking, I'm afraid even eating will cause severe pain.
Everyone watched the master teach his apprentice, and even if they felt distressed, they could only endure it, hoping that the two boys would have long memories.
Jiayin lay behind her grandma, feeling sorry for her brother and not daring to say a word.
It wasn't until they were taken down by Li Laosi to apply medicine that she sneaked into the house and secretly stuffed a candy ball into each of her brothers.
You have to open your mouth to eat sweets. Jiayi and Liu Yang gasped in pain, but they accepted their sister's kindness.
At this time, for them, they were really frustrated and regretful, and a little bit of sweetness gave them great comfort and encouragement.
Jiayin hugged her brothers and ran out to listen to the excitement.
Sure enough, with the village chief's clear sense and the old lady's determination, this matter cannot be ignored.
Even though we are just ordinary people and can't help much, everyone has a mouth, right?
It is really not possible to go to teahouses and restaurants to tell the truth of the day and clear the name of the Marquis.
There is no way that the Marquis should be slandered like this because of a few shameless women!
In the end, if these are of no use, then you can only go to court.
If anyone dares to accuse the Marquis of this matter, they will go to the emperor and make it clear.
The emperor is the cousin of the Marquis, how could he trust the Marquis?
The matter is settled like this, if you go to the city, you must go to the city!
Sister-in-law Liu is now very skilled in managing the valley's accounts, and Li Laoer doesn't have to stay in the valley all the time.
Moreover, there were too many things involved this time, and he was afraid that his family would suffer a loss, so he had to go along.
Li Laosi is born with supernatural powers. At any time, whether he is protecting himself or encountering trouble, having him around makes people feel at ease, so he must go.
The two boys Jiayi and Liu Yang must be taken with them so that they can watch from beginning to end, and the lessons will be more profound...
In this way, with the addition of Dongmei and Yeshan, the old lady and Jiayin, there is another full story. Mule cart man.
No one dared to delay, they simply packed up and set off quickly.
Unexpectedly, we bumped into Mr. Wen's carriage on the way.
In the new capital, he also heard rumors that were unfavorable to the Marquis, but was afraid that rashly interfering would make the situation worse, so he could only find Suijintan to discuss a solution.
I heard that everyone is going to the Hou Mansion. Ask them about the situation in detail and then think of ways to help.
Mr. Wen said, "Then I'll go to Liu's house and sit down. If you have news here, please send me news at any time. I'm the censor. It's not good for me to get too close to a general like the Marquis. At least I can't let anyone know. Too many people know."
Everyone understood and agreed one after another.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of the new capital, the two parties separated.
With the guidance of Ye Shan and Dong Mei, the mule cart quickly arrived in front of the Hou Mansion.
The old lady hugged Jiayin, got out of the car and took a look, and was shocked by the majestic house in front of her.
Compared with this house, the small courtyard of Suijintan is simply too simple and narrow.
It's hard for the Marquis to stay at Suijintan for a few days every time he comes back...
Ye Shan was about to go in to find the butler. By chance, the butler took a Chang Sui out and bumped into them.
The chief steward happily arrested Ye Shan and shouted, "I was about to send someone to deliver a message to you. The matter has been solved! Everyone doesn't have to worry anymore!"
