! We don't have that many baskets at home"Li Laotai also had a headache, tapping her empty pipe bowl twice, she instructed."Then go borrow it and put it outside the courtyard, and bring it in at midni...The crowd suddenly realized and all scoffed.

"This is for anyone who lays a hand on our family, kick 'em twice!"

"That's right! Looks harmless on a regular day, but shows its teeth when it matters!"

"This is forcing us, from now on whenever something happens, we must eradicate it completely and show no mercy!"

Li Zhensheng waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, then asked Zheng He.

Have you found out where Wang Lao Er is hiding

Zheng He replied, "We focused on the Wang family's servants before, but we didn't get any results from surveillance. "

"These days, I've occasionally seen farmers bringing vegetables to the small courtyard behind Wang's house very diligently. So I investigated."

Once the farmer left Wang Family's backyard, he would go to a big junkyard in North City. That place was a gathering spot for hoodlums!

"We suspect that the Wang family likely has an underground passage or something similar leading to a small courtyard behind their house. Wang Lao Er is probably hiding in that courtyard, which allows him to avoid being seen and the thugs spreading rumors at the behest of others."

But there were guards lurking in the shadows of the courtyard. We were afraid of alerting them, so we could only watch from afar without going in to investigate.

Having said that, he glanced at Mr. Wen, his voice lowered slightly, and said: "Apart from those few families, people from the Wen family... also added fuel to the fire."

Mr. Wen's face changed immediately, and though he wanted to say something angry, he didn't.

Needless to say, it was because of his marriage that the Li family was implicated and hated. When something happened to the Li family, the Wen family would jump on the bandwagon and add insult to injury!

Madam Wen was also very angry and looked at the Li family with deep shame.

They originally wanted to find a way to present a united front with the Li family, helping them fight back against the Wu family and the Empress.

Unexpectedly, the Wen family actually went to help the tyrant!

"Aunt!"

Mrs. Wen was about to speak, her voice trembling, when Old Mrs. Li waved her hand, comforting her: "It's not easy for you two to be together. We all see how much you care for each other."

I wouldn't blame you for the fools in your family. That's just being traitorous!

"Don't overthink it, we'll just keep doing things the way we always have!"

Mrs. Wen's eyes turned red upon hearing this, and Mr. Wen felt even more guilty and angry.

He steadied his mind and said to the crowd, "Things have come to this. Although some details are still unclear, such as how the Wang family made the Wu family and the Empress believe that Fu Niuer's heart blood could help the Empress conceive and give birth."

But the Wang family's manipulation of the Wu family and the Empress behind the scenes against the Li family has already been confirmed.

On the surface, this matter seems to be aiming for Niuer's demise, but in reality, it's a scheme with far-reaching implications!

"Funiu'er is our darling child, if she were to be murdered, we would spare no effort to avenge Funiu'er.

"

"And as the Marquis is Funiu'er's godfather, he certainly won't let the Empress and the Wu family off! "

But even if the Empress makes a grave mistake, she is still the mother of the country and a member of the imperial family. As such, the Emperor must defend her both publicly and privately to some extent. That’s why our family and the Marquis are so angry and resentful…

"The emperor's heart is unfathomable. Will he suspect that the Marquis is no longer loyal and take back his military power because of this"

If the military power is taken back, there isn't anyone suitable to take over in Tianwu for the time being. Without the Marquis, the Emperor would also lose his left and right arms, and his power would be weakened.

"Thus, whoever benefits in the end, is the ultimate beneficiary, and they are the deepest hidden hand behind this matter!"

This remark caused Li Zhensheng and Li Lao Er to frown in deep thought. Jia Ren and his brothers could barely understand what was said.

The village head and Zhao Shu, along with several other men, as well as elderly women like Li... were completely baffled.

Could it be that the Empress, the Wu family, and the Wang family are not the ones who truly want to harm the Li family

Could it be that someone is taking advantage of this situation to plot against the Marquis and the Emperor!

Instead, Jia Yin kept nodding in agreement.

She had also carefully gone over it these past few days, arriving at the same conclusion as Mr. Same Temperature.

It can be said that killing her was merely the match to a tinderbox.

The real struggle is still in the court, in the struggle for power!

Seeing that everyone still hadn't reacted, Jiayin couldn't help but add another sentence.

It is said that before I was born, the imperial court was controlled by the Empress Dowager and the country was weak.

If it weren't for the barbarian invasion, the imperial court would have relocated to the south of the Yangtze River. Seeing this, officials wouldn't have stood idly by and would have supported the Emperor in taking control. My adoptive father also gained military power, so perhaps Empress Dowager wouldn't have retreated to Shoukang Palace.

“If the emperor lost his godfather’s support, court politics might fall back into the Empress Dowager’s hands…”

Everyone suddenly understood.

In recent years, the term "Empress Dowager" has rarely been heard and is almost forgotten by everyone in Tianwu.

So, for a while they didn't remember that there was such a big figure lurking in the palace...

"What has the Empress Dowager done Can the Empress Dowager just find ways to kill my sister"

Just as everyone was silent, the young and energetic Cat-er stood up and waved his fists furiously.

I don't care who wants to plot what, or do what. As long as they touch my sister, it's over! If there's no evidence, find some. Even if you can't, fight back hard.

They can harm my sister for no reason, why can't we fight back!

"Yeah, Dad, Uncle Two, we need to fight back!" Li Ge also said with determination.

Jia Ren didn't speak, but stepped forward two paces and stood beside his younger brother, offering silent support.

They can give up their future, fame, and even their lives.

But no one can bully their sister!

“Alright, we Li men should have such guts!” Li Zhensheng praised his son and nephew, then turned to Li Lao Er and Mr. Wen and said, “People are bullying us right to our doorstep, we can continue to gather evidence, but we can't just wait forever.”

Even if we cannot cut off the true mastermind behind this, and cannot touch the Empress, we can still strike back hard at the Wang family, Wu family, and their lackeys!

Li Laoer nodded, “Good, give these few families a taste of their own medicine, force them into chaos, and maybe they’ll reveal more about themselves!”

Mr. Wen saw that Elder Li and the others looked uneasy, so he said, "Let's go to my study at home and let the people in the house rest early."

Old Li didn't stop them either, she just instructed: "Our family isn't afraid of anything, you can arrange everything as you see fit. Whether it's silver or manpower, it's not a problem."

Even if we can't wipe out these families, we must make them regret plotting against our children!

Li Zhensheng and Li Laoer both responded, then took Jiaren and his three brothers, following Mr. Wen into the night.

The village head and Zhao Shu and others knew they couldn't help, so they arranged for the villagers to strengthen patrols both inside and outside the village.

At this point, their brains weren't enough, so they had to put in more effort...

Jia Yin had sent Wen Fu Ren on her way, settled Grandmother down to rest, and then checked on the two sisters-in-law before finally arriving at Mother's door. She found all the lights in the room extinguished.

She thought her mother was too tired to sleep, so she went back to her own room.

Unbeknownst to anyone, in a pitch-black room, Tao Hongying sat listlessly on the kang, slapping herself hard twice. Her cheeks immediately swelled and reddened...

In the early morning of late autumn, white frost flowers quietly descended, adding a layer of pale-colored coldness to all things.

In the mountains, some trees stubbornly retained a touch of green, eagerly awaiting the sun to start its work and help them escape the cold. They clung to the tail end of autumn, hoping for one last glimpse of the world.

Hearing the movement inside, Shui Ling carried a basin of water and pushed open the door to the Li family's backyard.

Jia Yin rubbed her eyes and sat up, asking, “Shui Ling, what did you make for breakfast in the kitchen this morning”

Last night she tossed and turned in bed for a long time. Exhausted, she fell asleep without even eating. Right now, her stomach is growling like crazy!

Water Spirit’s expression was rather odd as she said, “That… Miss, you should go take a look. Fourth Madam is acting strange.”

Something's wrong!

Jia Yin's heart skipped a beat, she immediately woke up and quickly got off the kang.

Two updates today, four more tomorrow to make up for it. The monster in Huahua's house is addicted to playing on her phone and failed the midterm!
