Chapter 788: The Li Family is a Good Home!

ery festive. 。Everyone was originally standing at the village entrance to see him off, with a touch of reluctance and sadness. Seeing this, they couldn't help but smile. 。"How come they look like two..."Earl's Residence!"

Li Laoer opened his mouth and shouted, which drew everyone's attention to him.

He hastily said, "The full moon banquet for YuanYuan is just around the corner. Since the village's defenses are strict and outsiders can't get in, the other party is most likely to make their move in the city, at the Earl's Mansion."

People suddenly understood.

Li Zhensheng nodded and said, "Indeed, this possibility is very high."

That day, there would certainly be a constant stream of people. Guests would arrive with maidservants and even coachmen and stable boys – too many unfamiliar faces. It's entirely possible they could be the other party's operatives.

Jia Yin was a little worried that she would upset her young nephew's joyous occasion, so she said, "Uncle, Second Uncle, perhaps we should relax our restrictions here in the village and allow those people to come in. Give them a chance."

"We'll be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, we won't hurt anyone. But at a full moon feast, with outsiders present, what if something happens It would implicate innocent people."

"No way!" Li Laer shook his head in opposition. "The village is just too large, and there are so many elderly people and children. If we can't take care of them properly, it would be a grave regret. The Earl's Mansion, on the other hand, has a smaller courtyard, which is easier to manage."

Li Zhensheng thought about it for a moment, and agreed with his younger brother's statement.

"I also think the Earl's Mansion is more suitable. If I were the other party, wanting to harm Fu Niuer, taking advantage of the chaos would be best. To make the scene chaotic, it could simply involve things like flooding or poisoning."

It's autumn now, the weather is dry, and we are in Xindu. The other party dares not start a fire.

"Thus, poisoning seems the most likely culprit. At that time, arranging reliable personnel at the Earl's kitchen might allow us to capture the perpetrator and force them to reveal their motives."

The village head was a bit anxious and quickly said, “We must definitely take me and Lao Zhao with us that day. We may not be able to do much else, but we can still take down one or two of them at a critical moment.”

Li Zhensheng smiled, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he refused, "No way, Uncle. You and Zhao Shu and the others are really going to stay in the village This is our Li family's den!"

"If we're at the Earl's mansion and our lair is compromised, we'll be caught between a rock and a hard place.

" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Outsiders can't be trusted, only with Uncle and Zhao Shu sitting here, we feel at ease."

The village head beamed with joy, and indeed, that was the very reason. “Alright then, go to the city at ease and don’t worry about home. As long as I have breath left in me, I won’t allow anyone to disturb our village!”

Matters were settled, and several people discussed how to proceed before dispersing.

Over the next few days, there were small incidents happening both inside and outside the village from time to time.

He wasn't a visitor from the Hot Spring Valley who came up the mountain to admire the scenery, he got lost and almost walked all the way to the county princess's residence.

It was when villagers went into the city that they found a comatose old woman on the road and saved her.

As a result, the lost guest was driven away, and the unconscious old woman was thrown to the doctor's clinic in town. A few silver needles were inserted, and she woke up...

In a nutshell, the entire Suijin Beach is tightly guarded. It's harder to infiltrate than reaching the heavens, let alone attempting any mischief!

As it was only two days before Roundy's full moon party, Xin Cun began to bustle with activity.

The villagers were busy preparing a flowing banquet, and relatives from all villages came to drink and have fun. Naturally, the village head and others greeted them.

The Li family, young and old, and the Wen family had already gone to Earl's Mansion in town two days in advance.

The village outside finally quieted down, and no outsiders tried to enter the village on any pretext.

Thus, the village head remained vigilant.

He brought three people from the scenic area to set up a table under a big tree at the entrance of the village. Everyone who came had to pass by their eyes.

Let no one try to shirk responsibility, let no one try to cause trouble...

In the New Capital, dozens of invitations from the Earl's mansion had already been sent out.

Although the Li family was of humble origins, they enjoyed the emperor's favor and trust. With the support of Marquis Xinting and close relationships with the Liu and Wen families, they stood firm in their position.

Over the past few years, Li Zhensheng's business has flourished, Li Lao Er's official reputation is excellent, and Li Lao Si has made great achievements in battle with the Northern Expeditionary Army.

It was Lao San Li who opened the canteen in the academy, taking care of the students' three meals a day with all his heart. When the students went home, they couldn't help but talk about it, and their families were also very grateful.

Therefore, the reputation of the Li family grew better and better each day.

Especially Tianwu, because of corn and potatoes, the people completely solved their food and clothing problems. The five words "Li Family of Suijin Tan" became well-known to everyone, and everyone felt grateful for them.

The Li family kept a low profile, especially the women. They rarely went out to social events unless it was necessary.

This made a number of women who had designs on the Li family frantic with worry.

There's no other reason, they have their sights set on Li Jia's son and want to marry their daughter off to him!

It's not that the Li family boys are particularly outstanding, it's just that the girls who marry into the Li family live a life of great comfort.

At first, it was the daughter of a scholar from the academy who entered the Li family. Most people weren't familiar with her, and she married the grandson of the cook in the Li family.

Therefore, no one paid much attention.

But two years ago, the daughter of the Xing family became the Countess of the Earl's Mansion.

That year, the Xing family's daughter hadn't gotten pregnant. In any other household, she would probably be pressured by her mother-in-law and forced to drink medicine to prepare for pregnancy.

But Xingjia's daughter didn't have this worry. She managed the Earl's Mansion with her husband, calling the shots and living a very happy life.

Grandmother Li, as the grandmother-in-law, and her two sisters-in-law had never uttered a harsh word. They even sent things to Earl's Mansion every few days, afraid that the young couple might be wronged in terms of clothing and food.

Sometimes, people with blind eyes would make sarcastic remarks to Xing family's daughter who was socializing outside.

Elder Madam Li would immediately go to the city, making a grand spectacle of it by taking her daughter-in-law to buy jewelry and fabrics, showering her with love and support to the very end.

Most importantly, the Li family absolutely had no intention of taking a concubine for their grandson!

This is the point that makes all the women in town envious!

However, Jia's second mistress, who was also the aunt of Xing family's daughter, was naturally fond of socializing.

My niece's life is so blissful, she brings my family so much peace of mind. I can hardly keep it to myself!

Thus, many families' eldest daughters remained at home for arranged marriages, and the favored second daughter hoped to marry into the Li family.

But Li's sons, all about the same age, one fought pirates in the southern navy, and the other two are unknown.

Even if you're going to propose, make sure to do your research first!

Thus, when the Li family held their full moon banquet this time, many people came with the intention of joining in the festivities and getting a glimpse of the little Li.

On the day of the full moon banquet, the sun was just half a man's height when several carriages had already stopped in front of the Earl's Mansion.

Tao Hongying, Zhao Yuru, and Mrs. Wen were not people who were good at socializing.

Thus, Jia's Second Madam was invited over early to help with the reception.

With her wide circle of acquaintances and her ability to chat and laugh easily, no one in the flower hall felt neglected.

People enjoyed snacks and fruits together, discussed clothes and jewelry, admired chrysanthemums, and had a lively time.

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Jia gathered together, listening to the lively gossip and sharing family matters.

The pearl had been kept at home by her mother for a long time. Today, she was finally taken out to play and was as happy as a puppy let loose.

Wherever Jia Yin goes, she follows.

Jia Yin made a very careful makeup this morning, fully displaying her "fragility" after recovering from a serious illness, which made Bao Zhu, that silly girl, almost treat her like porcelain.

One moment she's helping to peel fruit, the next she's bringing snacks, and then she's offering tea and water. Her care is very thoughtful.

Jiayin's words were really touching. All those fruits that the little glutton had eaten over the years finally paid off... of 140 taels after a 70% discount.Two courtyards were demolished and combined into one, enough to build a five-entry manor house.This scale isn't particularly impressive, but it gets the job done.Li...
