Chapter 528: Fleeing in Disarray

sh this newfound family affection even more. She wanted to protect everyone like a mother hen protecting her chicks, ensuring they were safe from any danger and wouldn't experience any hardship.Unfort...Li La Er sent the children away and also felt lighthearted. He thought for a moment and said, "Good, Uncle. I'll have someone ask Mr. Wen first. Tomorrow is not a grand court meeting. If there's nothing major going on at the Emperor's place, we'll go offer our melons!"

The village head: "Coincidentally, I just finished making a new set of clothes the other day. Tomorrow I'll wear it and show the Emperor. Our village lives well today, all thanks to the Emperor's blessings!"

Li Laoer immediately called Zheng Feng, giving him a few detailed instructions before Zheng Feng entered the city.

Jia Yin thought of the Marquis and her father who were away on a campaign. They had been gone for two or three months now, and she wondered if the Emperor would forget about them, or if some courtiers were secretly complaining about Xiao Hei behind their backs.

She just wanted to enter the palace, do something for her adoptive father, and find a sense of existence.

Then she hugged her second uncle's arm and shook it, "Second Uncle, I want to go too! I want to send melons to Imperial Uncle!"

Tao Hongying thought her daughter was just playing around, fearing she would cause trouble if she entered the palace. The marquis was away, and if something happened, no one would be able to help.

She advised, “Funiu’er, don’t go. The weather is hot, and who knows how long you’ll have to wait outside the palace gate.”

"If you want to go out and play, Mama will take you to a restaurant, okay"

Jia Yin refused, arguing desperately, "Mother, Shui Jin Tan is my fiefdom. There are watermelons growing there, and it would be perfect if I sent some to the Imperial Uncle. He is a kind person, and I wouldn't make him angry."

Li Laotai felt sorry for her granddaughter and thought the words made sense, so she advised her daughter-in-law, "Just listen to Funiu'er. She is growing up slowly, and she will have to go to the palace in the future."

"This time it's offering melons again, a proper occasion indeed. Fragrant Gold Beach was bestowed by the Emperor to Fu Niang, and now that it bears fruit, Fu Niang should personally present some to the Emperor for him to taste."

Li La Er and the village chief also nodded. The village chief smiled and said, "It's good for Fu Niuer to go together too. Just in case the Emperor summons us, we'll feel more at ease. Otherwise, with the Emperor's majesty, I would tremble even when speaking."

Tao Hongying looked at her giggling daughter, still worried she would cause trouble. But since her mother-in-law, village head, and second uncle had all said so, she couldn't stop her anymore. She could only say: "If you want to go, go ahead, but remember to be careful. Your stepfather is not here, if you cause trouble in the palace or get bullied, no one will come to save you…"

"Understood, Mother, don't worry. Funiu is smart and wouldn't be taken advantage of!" Jiayin quickly hugged her mother and acted cutely.

Li Laoer was going to the melon field with the village head, and Jia Yin skipped behind them, quickly escaping her mother's "clutches".

Tao Hongying couldn't help but laugh and cry as she saw her daughter roll out of the hospital, round and healthy.

Zhao Yuru immediately pulled her to find clothes and jewelry for Jia Yin to wear tomorrow. Li Laotai remembered and joined in as well.

Jia Yin wore a big straw hat, shading her small face tightly, for fear of getting sunburnt again. If she did, she would be ashamed and the whole new city would know!

Shui Ling, fearing the little master would trip, scooped them up and rushed into the melon-eating shed.

Just so happened that Ye Shan was helping pull weeds nearby, Jia Yin called him over to chat.

"Uncle Da Shan, Uncle San Jiang doesn't talk much. He seems quite scary. Last night, Big Brother took him to see Mr. Zhang for a pulse check, and Mr. Zhang said he was fine too. That's really strange," Jia Yin asked, sitting on the wooden bed in the shack, kicking her little legs.

Shuiling also nodded and whispered, "Yeah, Uncle Sanjiang has always been cold. I've been afraid of him since I was little."

Ye Shan, naturally knowing everything about his master, replied: "I know a bit about this. Like Zheng Er and the others, San Jiang was also part of a small unit fifteen years ago. But when they went on a mission, San Jiang made a mistake that resulted in the entire unit being wiped out. Only he was saved by his comrades."

He probably had a guilty conscience all along, leaving him with lingering illness. Had the Marquis not ordered him to live, after avenging himself, he would have gone to join his brothers in the afterlife.

But now, even though he is alive, he does not start a family, speaks little, except for training the young men in the village, and eating and sleeping.

The master felt sorry for his younger brother and this time, he sent out the best of his sons again. He used the excuse of needing someone to take care of them, forcing him to come out too.

Jia Yin listened with a sigh, no wonder this person's eyes were filled with death.

Perhaps his heart was buried with his brothers long ago, and he lives like a walking corpse.

Water Spirit even covered her mouth, her eyes red, "Uncle Sānjiāng is so pitiful. When we were little, we even said he looked like a zombie..."

Jia Yin quickly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Our family is lively, maybe Uncle Sanjiang will feel better after staying here for a while."

She was just saying it casually, she really wasn't sure if she could save a "hopeless" person.

But Shui Ling took it seriously, her face lit up with excitement as she nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes! Our home is the best. With San Jiang living here for a while, there will definitely be more warmth and life. Maybe he'll even get married and have children! Hahahaha, then he won't want to die anymore."

Jia Yin heard this and couldn't help but smile. She really didn't want to crush the child's confidence...

Let time pass slowly, who knows what will happen in the future.

Even if Zheng Sanjiang doesn't turn out to be as devoted as Shui Ling hopes, as long as he does his best for the Li family, the Li family will absolutely never leave him destitute.

Li Laer and the village head walked around in the melon field, and carried back a cracked jade melon.

The weather is hot, and there isn't enough rain. Even if the villagers work hard to constantly draw water and irrigate their crops, this situation is unavoidable.

Fortunately, the garden was about to open. Having sold the silver and put it in his pocket, he felt at ease.

The village head, with a hearty laugh, retrieved the axe from behind the hut's door. He washed it in a bucket of water and was about to chop up the jade melon for everyone to taste.

As a result, the boys in the schoolhouse went home after class. Whether they were attracted by the sweet smell or simply wanted to join the fun, they all rushed over like a swarm of bees.

Jia Yin saw from afar and immediately jumped onto Shui Ling's back, shouting, "Shui Ling, hurry home! I haven't seen San Tiao for so long. Did it run away Let's go find it!"

"Oh, good!" Shui Ling didn't doubt it and replied as she walked, "I didn't see three today, maybe they went into the village to steal chickens"

Under the grapevine, three little ones were napping contentedly. Suddenly, one sneezed, waking itself up in fright.

It looked around, its small face full of confusion, but after a glance, there was only the little green snake in the cage, sticking out its snake head, it didn't seem like anything unusual happened!

Remembering the good dream that had just been interrupted, it got annoyed and jumped up, wagging its tail, spinning the cage like a top, then curled back up and went back to sleep.

The poor little green snake suddenly went on a rollercoaster ride, being flung about so that its tongue was stuck out of its mouth, unable to be retracted for a long time.

In a dizzying turn of events, it was truly beyond comprehension.

What did it do to provoke anyone!

It wants to go home, it wants to find Mommy!

Then, Li Lao Er and the village head couldn't figure out why Jia Yin ran away Both of them laughed so hard they could barely stand it.

The mischievous boys didn't know they were more frightening to Jia Yin than tigers.

A lone person had a piece of jade melon and sat outside their hut, savoring it with immense satisfaction...

The next morning, Jia Yin dressed neatly and rode in a carriage with her second uncle. Behind them was the village head driving a mule cart.

Having suffered much hardship, Big Qing is now fat and healthy. This time, he's pulling a cart loaded with baskets of emerald cucumbers and golden fruit. He struts proudly into town to offer his gifts!

Here are three more chapters ~~rdedness in his eyes.Though he still wanted to study it further, the boy turned his gaze away…The half-sized, gregarious boy came forward and greeted them, "My lords, my name is Zheng Yi. I was previo...
