umped up and saw two shadowy figures under the tree. He immediately roared, grabbed his stick, and charged toward them.The rest of the Li family were also awakened. They grabbed whatever weapons they..."That's it, he's just a few months younger than Jiahuan. Look at Jiahuan, the child is already three years old, and him His wife doesn't even know where she is!" Li Laotai gritted her teeth in anger.

Li Lao San felt sorry for his nephew and chuckled, consoling her, "Mother, Yi Xu is probably still young and hasn't figured things out yet. There's no need to worry. Maybe one day fate will bring him a match, and he'll be married with children soon."

"That makes sense." Old Mrs. Li thought of her grandson, Jiahuan. Although he had caused a small mishap earlier, after marrying Wenjuan, he got pregnant and gave birth soon after, which was quite pleasant.

Li Lao'er also laughed and said, "The people I sent out today have returned with news. In two or three days, the Hailan army will arrive with a fleet of captured ships.

When Tang the General helps, Jia Yi will easily be able to get out.

"He's probably ruined his reputation; this boy won't be able to find a wife in New City."

Li Zhensheng waved his hand dismissively, "Then let Jiayi find a wife in Quanzhou! It's far from the capital, and even if people knew about his trouble, few would mind."

Since so few new people had come to the capital, the Emperor hadn't even mentioned them, let alone the Empress's younger brother.

Compared to worrying about these things, the people of Quanzhou care more about when the Japanese pirates will be wiped out and when fishermen can go out to sea without fear!

Everyone nodded in agreement, indeed this is the truth.

Li Laotai still wanted to ask her youngest son how many days he could stay at home, but she found him already snoring in a chair.

Her eyes welled up with tears at the sight, and she quickly called out to Li Zhensheng's several siblings, "Quickly help the fourth brother back to the house and let him have a good rest."

"This child must be exhausted. Don't wake him, let him sleep until he's fully rested."

Li Zhensheng and Li Laosan staggered back to the backyard, one supporting Li Laosi.

Soon, Tao Hongying was also driven back by Li Laotai.

At this time, who cares about household chores Taking good care of the husband who has returned home is the priority!

Jia Yin had eaten too much and remembered that her godfather had drunk quite a bit, so she called Shui Ling over and brought a pitcher of honey water to his room next door.

The lord changed into a dark blue satin robe, the cuffs and collar embroidered with silver cloud patterns.

It seemed simple enough, yet it perfectly accentuated his air of coldness and innate nobility.

He had just taken a shower, his black hair still damp and draped behind him, adding a touch of laziness and nonchalance to his expression.

Jiayin burst into the room with an exaggerated "Wow!" before slumping down dejectedly across from her stepfather.

The Lord looked puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong Is something amiss Or have you encountered some difficulty"

Jia Yin sighed, her delicate face creased with worry as she shook her head and replied, "Oh, I'm just thinking that in the future, I definitely won't have a stepmother anymore."

"My stepfather is such an outstanding man, there's probably no woman in the world worthy of him! It's a pity for my stepfather, he's both brilliant and skilled in martial arts, yet he has to remain single!"

The lord was amused and laughed heartily, reaching out to ruffle the little girl's hair. "I thought the sky was falling, it turns out it was such a trivial matter."

"My godfather said that if Jiang Bei doesn't come back, he won't consider getting married. Besides, with you taking care of my godfather until his death, there's no need to get married anyway!"

Having said that, he dropped the subject and asked, "These past six months must have been hard on you. Tell your godfather, how does he plan to help you vent"

Jia Yin chuckled as she poured honey water for her adoptive father, "No need for you to worry, Father. Although the Wu family schemed against me, they are all now in prison, and Young Master Wu was killed by my third brother. It can be considered that they have received their retribution."

"If we keep holding onto the Wu family, not only would it be difficult to explain things to Emperor Uncle, but I fear everyone in the world would say that we are being ruthless and merciless!"

The Marquis nodded, the situation was indeed like this.

The little girl is very smart and sensible, she could think of these things which are not easy.

But it was precisely because of this that he felt even more sorry for the little girl.

"Don't worry about what happens in the court or what people outside say. Just focus on yourself. If you're unhappy, do whatever you want to them!"

Since they chose to deceive you, they must be responsible for their actions. Their miserable end is entirely self-inflicted!

"Okay, I understand, godfather," Jiayin said, swinging her legs and smiling happily.

She suddenly remembered something and asked, "Foster father, were those medicinal herbs I gave you before useful"

"I've saved quite a bit more, about a hundred or so jin. Does it need to be sent to the wharf camp"

The lord nodded, a glimmer of satisfaction in his eyes. "Your batch of medicinal herbs arrived just in time. At least two hundred wounded soldiers survived because of them."

"Now there are more than a thousand wounded soldiers, both light and serious, at the dockyard camp. I'm going there tomorrow. If you have any medicinal herbs here, it would be even better. The medicine prepared by the Ministry of War is really..."

The Marquis's words were left unfinished, clearly showing his dissatisfaction with the Ministry of War.

Jia Yin didn't want to anger her foster father, so she quickly said, "Foster Father, besides the medicine for injuries, I also boiled a lot of frostbite ointment, which is very effective."

"I just saw frostbite on my father's hands, ordinary soldiers must be freezing even worse. It would be better to bring the frostbite ointment tomorrow as well."

"Have the soldiers soak their hands and feet in hot water before bed each day, then apply ointment. They should be almost healed in three days."

The Marquis was delighted, "My daughter Fu Ni'er's medical skills are getting better and better. This ointment for frostbite is probably unique even in the Heavenly Martial world."

"Of course! Don't you know who my daughter is The number one genius in Tianwu!" Jia Yin proudly raised her chin, a smile revealing a set of white teeth.

The Lord couldn't help but laugh, and he gently rubbed her hair, feeling a mixture of emotions in his heart.

The chubby little girl has grown into a graceful young lady, but she is still kind and lovely, still shining bright like the sun...

At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Yamasaki opened the door, and to his surprise, it was Haru outside.

It was clear that Jiaren hadn't expected to see his sister here, but he still walked in.

Ye Shan poured the tea and then retired, leaving Jia Ren and Jia Yin siblings sitting across from the Marquis.

The Marquis asked, "Is there something the matter, Jia Ren"

Jia Ren nodded and said, "Lord Hou, you have just returned from your campaign. Logically speaking, I shouldn't disturb you at this time. You should rest well."

"But there is something, concerning my family, even the safety of the entire Suijin Beach, that I would like to ask Lord Hou for help investigating."

The Lord raised an eyebrow, but said nothing.

Jia Yin was surprised and asked, "Big brother, what's going on"

"Could it be that the Wu family or the Wang family are up to their old tricks again"

Jia Ren shook his head and said, "No, it's Mr. Chiang's bookboy Gu Li. I suspect there is something wrong with his identity."

"It's not that he did anything wrong to Suijin Beach or our family. It's just that he was a stray since he was young, and after meeting Mr. Jiang, he was brought to our Suijin Beach."

He served as a bookboy for Mr. Chiang, and for the past two years he has been in charge of managing the affairs at Baiyun Guan and looking after its business. These things appear to be fine at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there are many suspicious points.

Mr. Mo Mei's previous poetry gathering showcased a wealth of knowledge far exceeding my own. He skillfully concealed it, assuming the role of an organizer and occasionally displaying an air that set him apart from mere servants.

I've tried a few times, but he always stopped me without a trace.

“Zheng He several also helped me investigate his past, there were no suspicious traces……”

Jia Yin heard this and frowned.

Gully had always been taciturn and trustworthy. She had been managing her business for so long without making a single mistake.

Think about it carefully, a boy of seventeen or eighteen who has never made a mistake is the biggest mistake itself…
