Chapter 821 This is indeed not simple!

le eating. Seeing this, they all dropped their chopsticks and rushed out, looking panicked.They just ate a lot, wouldn't they have been poisonedSome people were clearing their throats, others had face...Jiarren thought for a moment, some hesitation.

Since the year they went south to Quanzhou, Lu Zonghe and Jia Xu had proactively gotten closer to their brothers.

When they have something to do, they truly go all out to help. They also never miss a beat when it comes to holiday gifts.

Their conduct and character were even more upright.

Just now, the little cat accidentally let slip a few words. If we don't tell them anything, it would seem like we're treating them like outsiders and keeping them at arm's length, which would surely hurt their feelings.

But this matter involves the Wu family and the Empress. Since we haven't obtained key evidence at home, it's not appropriate to say too much.

If this gets out, a charge of treason against the Empress could be brought down on the Li family, putting them at a complete disadvantage!

He couldn't say more, he could only dodge the question with a few light words.

"To be honest, I'm not hiding anything from you guys. We've been friends for so many years, and if there was something I could say, I would have said it already.

"

"But this matter is too big, and our family hasn't investigated it clearly either, so I'm not comfortable bringing it up."

"What's going on" Jia Xu was even more puzzled.

Lu Zong also changed his face, guessing: "Could it be that the county lord's illness has not yet recovered, or was she poisoned"

Jiārén was afraid they would go further and further astray, so he quickly waved his hand to stop them, "No, Junzhu is fine. Before it was because of rumors, she was forced to pretend to be sick."

But, some people are foolish, thinking that the county princess truly has great fortune, and want to take a bowl of blood from her heart to cure their illness...

"What!"

"My heart aches!"

Lu Zhonghe and Jia Xu stood up in surprise and anger, their movements so sudden that the table trembled.

"What kind of animal, did they eat dog feces for brains They believe such stupid things!" Lu Cong was so angry his face turned blue.

Jia Xu also gritted his teeth and said, “Have you confirmed the person behind this It’s too hateful! We must dismember him a thousand times!”

Although they didn't often see the County Princess in their daily lives, many things they received from the Li family were prepared by her.

Summer's ice cream and snacks, winter's fresh fruits and vegetables, and even some fresh and unique embroidery supplies.

Of course, the Jiaren brothers wore those sewn by the county princess herself, while they were given those sewn by the embroiderers from the Li family.

Every piece is well-designed, with interesting and novel embroidery patterns. It shows that a lot of thought has been put into it.

They came from wealthy families and had no shortage of material possessions, but what was rare was this sincerity.

Of course, they often look for things that little girls like and entrust them to Jia Ren to bring back as gifts.

The feeling between us, it deepens with every interaction we have.

Now just thinking about someone wanting to kill such a lively and beautiful young lady, the princess, they can't help but be furious!

Jiarren quickly urged them to sit down again, poured them tea, and whispered, "Don't worry, of course we have a plan for this."

"But this matter involves too much, it's really inconvenient to say too much..."

Lu Zong and Jia Xu both frowned, thinking carefully. This matter was indeed not simple.

The esteemed county princess, backed by the Li, Liu, and Wen families, not to mention even the newly appointed military commander of Xiting Hou, is certainly not someone that just any cat or dog would dare covet.

The person behind this... they dare to make a move… their identity must be extraordinary!

Lu Cong fell silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Jia Ren brother, is the Zhang Divine Doctor from your village still around "

Don't look at me now, I'm healthy. In fact, I was a premature baby born with a weakness. When I came to the capital, my father told me to find a good doctor and take care of myself.

I think your village's Divine Doctor is quite good. With my recent free time, could Dr. Jia be willing to take me in for a few days

"As for food and lodging, it doesn't really matter how much or little. The only thing I care about is having spacious accommodation, since I have fifty guards who will be living with me in the village."

Jiarren was taken aback for a moment, but then couldn't help but laugh.

Lu Cong sought medical treatment, adjusting his body was a pretense, the real intention was to bring his guards into the village to protect the Li family.

Although the Lord, Fourth Uncle, and Big Courageous Uncle are all away from home, there are no elite soldiers stationed in the village.

But the younger sister had Dong Mei and Ye Shan, a married couple, as well as Shui Ling and Shui Yun protecting her closely. Her brothers also each had servants from Zhengjiazhuang guarding them.

Even the wounded and veteran soldiers of Er Cun could protect the village.

So, all things considered, our household isn't actually short-handed for self-defense.

But when times are tough, having that extra support makes things a little safer for the family.

"Okay," Jiaren readily agreed, "but our place is too cramped. Let me talk to Grandma and see how we can arrange things."

"Estimated that in about ten days to half a month, your body will be almost adjusted."

"Haha, then it's settled. I'll visit tomorrow." Lu Cong had always envied the liveliness of the Li family. He was very happy about the upcoming "cohabitation" life.

Jia Xu liked to join in the fun. Seeing them like this, he also shouted to get involved.

The right exams have been postponed to next spring, so he doesn't need to go to the academy. His family also doesn't interfere with his actions. So, under the pretext of accompanying Lu Zong in his illness, he decided to stay in Xin Village for a few days...

The three friends chatted for a long time. By the time it was completely dark, they had prepared some congee and side dishes in the kitchen as a midnight snack.

Just then, Cat Brother and the others also woke up. Everyone gathered together again to drink some porridge and warm their stomachs.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the Cat Brothers woke up completely from their drunken stupor.

Meow Ge and Zhi Min Xiu Jie are being lively and mischievous again, asking for fruit, snacks, and small bites, then setting up a table to play poker.

Zhi Min and Xiu Jie were mischievous and loved to play, having already learned from Mao Ge'er. However, Guo Wen Hao was a novice.

Luckily, Li Ge'er, Gu Li, Jia Xu, and Lu Zong also opened a table.

Jiarren was left behind, so he acted as a military advisor for his junior brother, fighting against Mao Ge'er, Zhimín, and Xiujie.

As a result, an hour later, Cat Brother, Zhi Min, and Xiu Jie's faces were plastered with notes like door curtains.

Guo Wenhao only has a "white beard" on his chin!

It was a complete victory, crushing everyone!

The three cat brothers cried out in protest, all saying that Guo Wenhao must have secretly learned and was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger!

Guo Wenhao was pinned down on the kang and tickled by them, laughing so hard tears streamed from his eyes.

At another table, the competition was neck and neck. If one absolutely had to determine a winner, it was Brother Li who had the fewest slips of paper on his face!

Guli, Jiaxu and Luzong followed suit, overthrowing the most victorious Li Ge'er and employing the "scratching an itch" tactic!

Li Ge'er was being chased and crawled all over the kang.

In the dead of night, a group of “paper monsters” were shouting and making a ruckus, almost lifting the roof off…

Last night, a light snow fell. Early in the morning, in Li's courtyard, servants carried large brooms to sweep everywhere. Occasionally mischievous, they would gather snowballs and throw them at each other, filling the air with laughter.

They had been at the Li household for some time now. At first, they were timid and servile, but gradually they discovered that their masters were truly kindhearted and would never beat or scold them without reason.

They will be better taken care of, with warm clothes and full meals. At night, they can sleep on a warm kang (a traditional Chinese heated bed).

This finally put their minds at ease, and they occasionally dared to show a bit of childishness.

Li Laotai wore a brand new five blessings and longevity pattern silk jacket as she came out of the room. Her white hair was neatly combed, with a jade hairpin inserted at the back of her head. She looked very clean and tidy.mply let her nature take over, being lazy and content with taking care of her family's food, clothing, and shelter. She thought that as long as she planned out the menu when she had nothing else to do...
