MTL - Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.-Chapter 1173 Taboo of the Li family!

Chapter 1173 The Taboo of the Li Family!

Seeing nightfall, dinner was ready in the Earl's Mansion.

 But no one came back after waiting around, and the gate was quiet.

Old Mrs. Li was a little anxious. She sat under the eaves, shaking her cattail leaf fan, and couldn't help but sigh.

When people get old, they like to have children and grandchildren around their knees and a lively house.

 But now that we are getting richer and richer, why is it so deserted everywhere?

Jiayin had just cooked two dishes with her own hands. She felt that she was smelling of oil smoke, so she went to take a shower and change into fresh clothes.

As soon as I returned to the main courtyard, I saw my grandma's face looking lonely. She hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Oh, my grandma is lonely? There are no children around to cause trouble for you, but you are not used to it?"

Mrs. Li smiled and scolded her granddaughter, and responded, "Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? I was watching this time, why haven't your second uncle and your fifth brother come back for dinner?"

Jiayin hugged grandma's arm and acted coquettishly, "Grandma said she loves me the most, but she actually favors sons over daughters. Without her second uncle and brothers by her side, grandma is so worried that she can't eat!"

 Old Mrs. Li slapped her granddaughter angrily, dumbfounded.

 “Don’t be rude to me, our family values ​​girls over boys, and no one in Tianwu knows that!”

　　That's what I said, but the old lady's mood did feel much better after her granddaughter started messing around.

Jiayin took the opportunity to persuade grandma, "Grandma, in one month, my adoptive father and my father will come back, and our whole family will go to Quanzhou to settle. Here in Xindu, others can make as much noise as they want, and our family will not interfere. And.

“Speaking of which, you all took a big boat to go to the sea to play, and I was the only one left. Let alone the sea, I didn’t even see any big ships. How pitiful!”

“Okay, okay!” Old Mrs. Li touched her granddaughter’s hair and said with a smile, “Let your third brother take you out to sea when the time comes. He has many soldiers. He kills pirates and Japanese pirates and runs around, which is very majestic!”

As he was talking, Li Laoer finally came back.

 Old Mrs. Li smiled even more happily and hurried to eat in Luo.

　　In the past, there were only three people sitting around the table, the old and the young, alone. It was really hard to watch.

 But Li Laoer and Jiayin tried their best to coax the old lady, telling some new things or joking, and the meal was quite lively.

 But Mrs. Li has been a parent all her life, so she is not that easy to fool.

After the dinner table was cleared, Li Laoer made an excuse and said to Jiayin, "Fu Niu'er, there are a lot of people donating outside the city today, and the accounts are a bit messy. Will you go to the study to help my second uncle take a look?"

He understood the good news and immediately responded, "Okay, second uncle, I'll be there in a minute!"

Mrs. Li didn't want to but waved her hand and said, "Don't be careless, you two. If you have something to say, just say it in front of me. Now we are the only people in the family, and we have to hide it from each other. It's boring."

Li Laoer laughed dryly, feeling very guilty.

“Mom, that... is indeed a bit of a trivial matter. I thought I would tell you after the investigation is complete! I didn’t expect you to see it first...”

Mrs. Li snorted coldly and responded, "You were born in my belly. You have been by my side for so many years. Can I not see that there is something on your mind? Tell me quickly and don't let me worry about you."

Jiayin is also curious about what the second uncle has to say.

She quickly cut two peaches, and before putting them in her mouth, she heard Li Laoer say, "The court said that we will pray for rain today, but there are no specific regulations. As a result, in the evening, rumors began to spread among the refugees outside the city that we must pray for rain." Only if a virgin who is born with good fortune can pray for rain will he be able to pray for it successfully.”

 “Bang!” The sour plum soup bowl in Mrs. Li’s hand had already hit the ground.

 Happiness girl, these two words are definitely taboo in the Li family.

 Previously, because of this, even the Queen’s natal family was pulled down by the Li family. Unexpectedly, after such a long time, the queen's body has rotted, and there are still people who dare to use these two words to make trouble.

Li Laoer was afraid that my mother would be angry, so he quickly added a few words.

“Mom, don’t worry! This is just a folk legend, and it hasn’t become a big deal yet. Besides, our family knew it so early, so we have a plan to deal with it, and we are not afraid of who is causing trouble behind our backs, right?

“To take a step back, Jiangninghou’s family didn’t succeed in plotting against Fu Niuer, let alone others!”

Mrs. Li took a few hard breaths and cursed, "Have we always been too talkative and done too many good things, but people think our family is easy to bully! Why do we come here to plot against Fu Niuer again and again? When all our family members are dead?”

Jiayin quickly caressed the old lady's chest and persuaded with a smile, "Grandma, my second uncle said it, there is just a sign for the moment, I don't know the details yet. Why don't you wait until the investigation is clear and the whole story is known? You won't be angry anymore." Too late!”

"Yes, mother, don't worry, I have asked someone to investigate. I believe there will be results soon!" Li Laoer said with confidence, but in fact he was a little unsure in his heart.

Notwithstanding the changes in the court situation, the emperor's attitude toward the Li family and the Marquis is also unclear.

There is really someone behind the scenes, and it may not be easy to find out.

Jiayin remembered something and said, "Second uncle, if you want someone to investigate, try your best to lean on Marquis Dingbei. The crown prince's concubine is the daughter of Marquis Dingbei, and the emperor has asked Dingbei Marquis to come to the palace to visit.

"Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with this. After all, after that incident, the emperor may have felt that his time was running out, and he was very good to his children. But today I met Mr. Yi, and he also mentioned this matter to me. I'm afraid, it must be It’s not that simple for the Northern Marquis to enter the palace.”

Li Laoer squinted his eyes at that time and thought about it carefully. His family had always been kind to others in Xindu, but there were also several families who were hostile, and Dingbeihou was the worst among them.

It is not impossible to say that Ding Beihou was doing something behind his back.

 But did Dingbeihou attack the Li family after meeting the emperor?

His face became ugly little by little...

 Obviously, Mrs. Li has also figured this out.

 For a moment, the feeling in her heart was really indescribable.

Has the approachable emperor who likes to eat noodle soup changed after all?

 In other words, he was originally so selfish and ruthless, and it was all disguise and appearance before...

The evening breeze blew slowly through the yard, and I was startled by the three silent people, who quickly slipped away against the wall.

 The night is getting darker and darker, and the entire Xindu has returned to tranquility.

 But under the tranquility, something is fermenting, and no one knows.

 Early on the next morning, the old lady originally wanted to visit the city and then return to the village to stay for a day.

 But she was thinking about what happened last night and had no thoughts. She stayed at home and did some sewing to pass the time. Unfortunately, she pricked her hand several times in a row.

Jiayin has taken care of some chores at home. Seeing grandma like this, she needs to persuade her to go out for a walk.

 Unfortunately, the old lady was not fooled at all.

“It’s hot outside, the shop at home is closed, and the refugees outside the city are also in chaos, so let’s just stay at home.”

I can't help but let the little girl and the boys play shuttlecock in the yard and coax grandma to watch the fun.

 But at this moment, Mrs. Liu suddenly came to the door.
