Chapter 724 Father, Something Big Has Happened!
lly went in and out of the village every day to see Zhang Shenyi for treatment. It wouldn't be possible for an outsider to move around so freely without Li Jia vouching for him or showing favoritism.J...Bao Lei's recent injuries are almost everywhere, mostly her face and chest.
She was the third princess, and her sleeve had been splashed with something, making her scream and rant angrily.
Winter Plum and the two wet nurses heard the commotion outside. They didn't bother with etiquette, and rushed in through the door.
Winter Plum directly hugged Jia Yin, anxiously asking: "Princess, how are you"
Jia Yin, "weakly" put her hands on his neck and said, "I don't know, maybe I ate too many snacks. The smell of smoke makes me feel a little uncomfortable."
Dong Mei quickly said, "I'll take you home right away!"
With that said, she was about to carry Jia Yin away.
Upon seeing this, Bao Lei was somewhat flustered and quickly stepped forward to intercept her. "No way, you can't take the princess away!"
Winter Plum's face turned cold, her eyes like daggers as she questioned, "What's this Is the Chang Princess' Mansion a dragon's lair, that our young mistress can't even return home if she's uncomfortable"
"Must I send a message to the Marquis, asking him to bring troops to rescue the Lady"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Bao Lei gritted her teeth, thought for a moment, and finally let go. She chuckled awkwardly: “I didn’t mean that, I was just afraid the county princess would be uncomfortable, and the journey home would delay your recovery.”
We have a physician in our household, why not have him attend to you here...
"No need, I wouldn't dare to trouble you!" Dongmei let out a cold snort and walked away with Jiayin.
Bao Lei still wanted to chase after and persuade her, but on the other side, the third princess was already cursing, demanding that Grandma quickly change her clothes!
By the time there was a moment's hesitation, Dongmei had already left with Jiayin.
Grandma He was never at ease, so she brought Baozhu out of the warm room and wandered around at the garden gate.
As a result, they saw Dong Mei and Jia Yin walking out from afar and gathered around them.
It just so happened that Shui Ling also returned at this time.
Everyone gathered together, not even having time to speak a word before they rushed out of the princess's mansion at the fastest speed possible.
By the time Princess Chang received the news, all traces of the Li family's carriage had vanished.
Jia Yin got into the carriage and took out a small bottle from her purse. She drank a few sips hard, and her complexion recovered considerably.
She hurriedly ordered, "Old Hei, drive the carriage and send Grandma He and Baozhu back. Uncle Da Shan and Aunt Mei, take me and Shui Ling and avoid the crowd to find my godfather. Hurry!"
The mountains outside and Lao Hei immediately agreed.
Seeing the precious pearl, Jiayin's eyes widened in surprise. She leaned into her ear and whispered a few words.
Baozhu nodded vigorously, her chicken-pecking motions as quick as a hummingbird's wings.
Soon, they found a small alleyway and Dashi and Dongmei escorted Jiayin out of the car. Shui Ling also jumped down nimbly and darted into the alley.
The carriage sped forward, arriving directly at the entrance of Jia's mansion. After delivering Baoyu, Old Black and He Grandma discussed and felt that they couldn't just go home like this.
Then, the carriage turned around and went to the relief office again.
The Marquis had been in the camp for half a month and only returned yesterday. He originally planned to go to Suijin Beach tonight.
But hearing that the Crown Princess's mansion was hosting a flower viewing banquet and Jiayin had been invited as well, he decided to wait. After lunchtime, he picked up the chubby little maid and went home together.
As a result, before he could even set off, he heard that the chubby girl had come to find him herself.
He opened the study door and laughed, "How did Fu Niuer know I was home Wasn't the flower viewing party fun Why come back so early"
Jiayin tugged at her adoptive father's hand and whispered, "Father, something big has happened. Let's go in and talk."
Suiling followed directly, while Yeshan and Dongmei immediately guarded the door.
Jia Yin hurried to pour herself a cup of tea, gulping it down before saying, “Father-in-law, something big has happened! The Chang Princess’s manor now has Fuhong Plaster, and they seem to be enticing noble ladies from various families to smoke it!”
"What!" The marquis was so startled that his eyes widened.
Given his current status, few things could faze him anymore, but this news was truly unexpected.
He was afraid of getting it wrong, and asked again, "Fu Niuer, are you saying that the Princess's Mansion and Yaochi are in the same stream, coming together and mingling They held a flower viewing banquet to lure noblewomen from various families to consume the Fuhong paste"
"Yes, Godfather," Jia Yin thought for a moment and said: "Bao Lei found me before the New Year and sent me an invitation to watch flowers. After the New Year, I forgot about it, but the Princess's Mansion suddenly sent another invitation to Baozhu of the Jia Family.
I sent someone to inquire, guessing that the Princess's Manor invited Baozhu to pressure me into attending the banquet as well.
Today, I went to the princess' mansion and deliberately bullied Bao Lei. She kept enduring it. Later, she called out a few noble ladies, all of whom were pampered eldest daughters from prominent families.
I just let Shui Ling follow up and take a look, as a result, the third princess came at that time.
Bao Lei took me and the Third Princess to a place, saying she was going to share something good with us. Then, she pulled out a cigarette holder and a jade box!
Luckily, I brought the foul powder that I accidentally concocted during my daily medication practice. Just one whiff would make anyone vomit. Auntie Mei rushed into the room, using the excuse of visiting a doctor to whisk me out of the Princess's Mansion.
Having said that, she asked Shui Ling again, "What have you found out Tell me quickly."
Shui Ling had been holding back, and now that it was her turn to speak, she just blurted everything out.
My Lord, Miss, those noblewomen were taken to a small courtyard. Two of them seemed familiar, as if they came often. They directly opened their boxes and took out several long smoking pipes.
Then, they started making brown pills. The other ladies asked what the pills were, and Bao girl said they were good things that could turn people into immortals.
"I wanted to get closer and take a good look, but there were many maidservants guarding both inside and outside the courtyard. I almost got caught, so I climbed over the wall."
Both the Lord and Jia Yin frowned. They originally thought that Princess Mansion had just started to seduce noblewomen, but unexpectedly, many noblewomen had already fallen for it, and new recruits were constantly joining…
Just as the Marquis was about to speak, Li Lao Er came over.
Li Lao'er was shrewd to begin with. After hearing a few words from He Mamá, he understood that his niece had discovered a big problem.
As expected, Jia Yin quickly recounted the events again, his face grim with displeasure.
The Lord said, "This matter cannot be delayed any longer. If we truly wait until the investigation is clear, perhaps the entire Kyoto's young generation will fall."
The second brother nodded and replied, "I'll take Fu Niuer home first. This matter is too big, our family shouldn't get involved."
The lord instructed: "The person behind Yaochi has not been found out yet. The family should be more on guard lately, and if anyone is needed, just send someone to say so."
"Laosi can also stay at home for another month. Just in case something happens, he can lend a hand too."
"Good, the same to you, Lord. If there's anything the family can help with, just ask." After Li Lao Er finished speaking, he took his plump niece and left.
Fortunately, when Jiayin arrived, the carriage stopped at the back door.
The Lord called for a carriage and went into the palace from the front gate.
If someone was keeping an eye on us, with the Marquis attracting attention, no one would notice the Li family sneaking out the back door.
The Li family's carriage rattled and rumbled, quickly turning onto Commercial Street to pick up Tao Hongying.
Li Laoer instructed Li Zhensheng and Jiatuan a few words, when he saw Jiatuan calling Zheng Er to Lu'an to send a letter, the carriage left the city.
Jia Yin quietly pushed open the car window and looked back at Xindu.
It won't be long before this place is stained red again...
Here are three more chapters!bute for her birthday celebration.Firstly, coming to the house with only one cake seems a bit too meager.Secondly, this was also one of the few times Li's family had a chance to showcase their wealth...
