Chapter 1071: Your Honey, My Arsenic!

ter all, the babies were too young; perhaps a bug brought back from a tree branch could make them cry.While Zhao Shu was being carried by Jia Yi, he followed Li Lao Si and Liu Biaotou, along with Liu...A group of bigwigs on the "Eleventh Road" naturally felt curious when they saw two horse-drawn carriages clattering past.

Thus, someone who was familiar with Feng Gonggong, whispered, "Feng Gonggong, are you here on an errand from the Emperor"

Mr. Feng held the highest position in the Imperial Study Room, second only to Yi, the chief steward.

He got to where he is today, and what he lacked the most was a smart mind.

Although he wasn't around last night, he could still guess why Jia Yin had left the palace.

For this, he also secretly sighed a few breaths.

If she had been able to leave with a good reputation, and eventually become the Crown Princess, the mistress of this palace, life for all these servants would surely be much better. Perhaps even when they grew old, they could have a good ending.

Unfortunately, everyone has their own aspirations.

And, after so many years together, facing a kind girl who had never looked down on him because of his physical disability, he couldn't bear to see her trapped in this cruel palace.

You see, women here have only two endings. They either wither away slowly or become a man-eating flower...

At this moment, he suppressed the tumult in his heart, jumped down, and walked alongside the courtiers while smiling, "Indeed, I received a task."

The county princess misses home a little, and said last night she wanted to go back for a while. The Emperor is not at ease, so he ordered this old slave to escort her there.

Princess

The officer who was being questioned didn't react immediately. Instead, his companions beside him couldn't help but look towards the carriage, their expressions full of complexity and confusion.

It's true, there has never been a shortage of smart people in the world.

Last night, who knows how many families' study rooms were filled with curses against the Li family's treachery, and speculations about County Princess Kangle's ambition to secure the position of Crown Princess.

They were still thinking about whether to unite and block the Li family, trying to seize the position of the Crown Princess for themselves.

As a result, the other party took the initiative to leave the palace!

This is…

What's going on

The Li family, realizing they couldn't compete, proactively withdrew from the competition

Or, perhaps they misjudged things; the Li family simply doesn't bother with vying for power

For a moment, no one spoke, unsure what to say.

Then Mr. Feng bowed his hands and, smiling, hopped onto the carriage shaft. The carriage immediately sped off toward the front.

After leaving the palace gates, Jiayin rolled down the car window and thanked Feng Gonggong, slipping a plump purse into his hand before parting ways smoothly.

Today, Lao Er Li didn't come to court. Liu Zhizhen was busy with business, and only Mr. Wen was left in the crowd.

At this moment, he couldn't approach directly and just waved to Jia Yin.

Upon hearing the words, Jia Yin immediately rolled up her car window and returned to Earl's Mansion.

Wan'er didn't receive any news, yet her younger sister-in-law suddenly returned. She was overjoyed.

Upon hearing that her younger sister-in-law would no longer reside in the palace frequently, she repeatedly urged the maidservants and female attendants to prepare for her departure.

Jia Yin did not stop her sister-in-law from being busy. She just said, "Sister-in-law, after tidying up the courtyard, put it aside first. I'm going back to live in Suijin Tan for a while, and occasionally come into the city for a visit."

Uncle Two and the older brothers are all in town. We can't just leave Broken Gold Beach like this; it might cause people to lose heart.

"Good," Wan'er readily agreed with a smile, "Suijintan is your territory, and as the county princess, you should return there. Living in the city or village is all the same; they are both our lands. It's more comfortable than the palace."

After the aunt and sister-in-law had talked for a while, Li Laoer, Mr. Wen, and even Jiahuan came rushing back.

Everyone was delighted when Jia Yin left the palace.

To be honest, having Jia Yin in the palace makes it much more convenient and efficient to get news back home.

But compared to these, they are more concerned about Jia Yin's safety.

"Just come back, and try to stay out of the palace from now on. Even though the eldest prince has returned, things are still very chaotic. One wrong move could easily bring trouble." Li Lao'er felt sorry for his niece and advised, "Go back to the village and live there for a while, it's best to keep a low profile."

Wen Yu Shi was even more enraged by the sarcastic remarks he heard. After serving in court for so many years, he had never felt this tired before.

He enthusiastically agreed, saying, "The position of Crown Princess is like a piece of fat, with countless wolves and tigers eyeing it. Our family doesn't fancy it, so we might as well stay far away to avoid getting caught in unnecessary trouble."

Jia Hu's personality was honest and simple. Fearing that his younger sister would feel reluctant to leave the splendor of the palace, he coaxed her, "Funi'er, although the palace is good, the rules are strict and people's hearts are too complicated. You were spoiled since you were young, raised too innocent and kind, it's not suitable for that place. If you find Suijin Beach boring, why not stay in Lu'an for a few days"

Jia Yin, upon hearing this, smiled and replied, "Second Brother, I'm not going anywhere. I'll head back to Suijin Beach. There's a lot of work in the fields and at the pharmacy that needs tending to. If I'm free, I'll go to the County Princess' Mansion with my sisters for tea and idle chatter. We'll definitely have a good time."

"Besides, Big Brother and Sixth Brother have been away on their assignments for a long time. I haven't had a chance to prepare something good for them. Now that I've made up my mind, I have to get the family's carriage team busy."

Otherwise, Old Hei and his buddies would probably be rusted to the bone!

Everyone laughed.

Li Laoer nodded in agreement, “That’s right. The other day I went back to Suijintan, and Lao Hei stopped me and chatted with me for ages. If they saw you going back, they’d be over the moon.”

Soon, Wan'er prepared lunch. The whole family ate together without separating into different tables, lively and noisy. It was considered a small gathering.

After lunch, Lao Er Li and the others went about their business. Jia Yin also had to set off back to Suijin Beach.

As a result, Mrs. Jia Er, Mrs. Liu, and even Madam Xing all came visiting in person.

At first sight, they couldn't help but approach Jiayin and shower her with compliments.

"Still, the county princess is the smartest."

"Yes, that's a place of right and wrong. It's best to stay away from it at this time."

"It's a good thing those people had their eyes red, like we stole their precious treasures." Wan’er and Jia Yin were curious and, after letting the elders sit down to rest and have some tea and snacks, they inquired carefully.

As it turned out, a number of people had come to visit their house that morning, and their conversations were all about finding out information.

I just want to know if the Li family intends to marry Jiayin into the royal family, and if they intend to vie for the position of crown princess!

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Jia Er were still alright; they were both eloquent and knew how to protect themselves.

They sent the person off in just a few words, and even managed to retort a few times along the way.

But Madam Xing had been bedridden for many years and rarely went out, she was truly unable to withstand these attacks.

They originally still wanted to send a message to the Earl's Mansion, inquire about the situation, and then help with the response in the future.

As a result, the servants just stepped out and heard that the county princess had left the palace.

Then, they tidied up and hurried over.

Jia Yin felt very guilty because of what had happened, causing so much trouble and worry for her elders.

Especially Mrs. Xing, although she had been cared for for a long time, her body was still much weaker than that of an ordinary person.

"Thank you, aunts, for thinking of me. I didn't think too much about it; I just felt that with the prince returning to the palace, I shouldn't stay any longer and should avoid suspicion. Who would have thought that people outside had such complicated minds."

“From now on, I'll live at Suijin Beach permanently. When I have free time, I'll plant some fruits and vegetables to take good care of my aunt and stepmother.”

"Well, that's right!" Mrs. Liu smoothed Jia Yin's messy hair with a loving gaze. "You are still young. When the time comes to find a husband, you have to carefully choose your family well. There's no need to rush now. You shouldn't even think about getting involved in such a mess."

Jia Er Fu ren recalled the past events and didn't try to hide them. She directly said, "Jun zhu, regarding those inappropriate things from the Feng family that caused trouble before, your aunt wanted to accompany you in taking the blame. I hope you can rest assured!"

"That family, we'll never go near them again. They're completely clueless. My sister-in-law is so angry that she's still in bed!"will dare to bully our family." 。Even if the Marquis died in battle, our family could still enjoy three generations of wealth and glory. 。“As the eldest son of the Li family, he failed to fulfill his...
