Chapter 708: A Good Move to Lure the Tiger Away From the Mou
low your Lordship to Jiangbei to reclaim our lost territory.""I see that Master Huo is so forthright and chivalrous, he'd be perfect for making a name for himself in the military. I wonder if you're i..."Cough! Cough!" Jiayin was caught off guard by the arranged marriage, nearly choking on the orange peel in her mouth. She coughed uncontrollably.
"That's right, Baozhu, I'm not afraid of not getting married. Don't worry about marriage, we can take our time!"
Jia Yin quickly changed the subject and asked, "Who said bad things about me Tell me their names, so that if I meet them in the future, I can take care of them too."
"Good!"
As expected, the pearl immediately changed her mind and glared with wide eyes, focusing on accusing…
After having lunch at the Li household, Jia Erfuren and her daughter brought home a box of freshly made glutinous rice cakes. They fried them in hot oil until they floated to the surface, ready for Jia Laofu to enjoy some warm fried dough cakes.
Of course, we can't forget to bring a few baskets of fruit.
The two of them could be said to have returned laden with spoils, going back happily to report their success.
Mrs. Li, the head of the household, had the deer leg frozen, and the fresh lotus root put aside. However, the live fish was sent to Ercun Village, where Xiao Cui stewed it for everyone to eat.
When Chen's family came to cause trouble before, the men, women, and children of Ercun bravely charged to the front.
Now, there are still a few nursing their wounds.
Thankfully, the injured didn't need to be on a special diet. These live fish and tofu with bok choy stewed together were enough to fill both villages, young and old.
Shui Ling was lively and took over the errand runner's job, carrying a fish bucket to find Xiao Cui.
Xiao Cui was talking with Hui-niang at the Kong's house right now.
Kong's mother-in-law was deeply wounded, but it was extremely disgraceful.
Last night, Kong Qinghe returned to the military camp with the Marquis and learned that his wife had something happen.
Of course Kong's wife couldn't admit she was wrong, her mouth was full of everyone bullying her.
Kong Qinghe had some doubts in his heart and planned to ask for clarification today.
This daughter-in-law was chosen by the family for him. He didn't know much about her. Over the past few years, she occasionally went home a few times, coming and going in a hurry. By luck, she became pregnant and gave birth to a boy.
Previously, the rest of his brothers settled in Ercun.
He went home and saw that his wife and children were having a hard time at home. So, despite angering his parents, he brought his wife and children to live with him.
His son is now studying at school and his daughter-in-law works in a workshop. He can often return home to be with his family. In every way, it's a perfect situation.
Even recently, he was still planning to have his daughter-in-law give birth to another child. If it were a little girl, they would have a complete family with both a son and a daughter.
He was the lord's bodyguard, and he would have to go back to the battlefield next year.
Even if things go badly, at least there's bloodline left behind, someone to carry on the family name.
To his surprise, he had business in the morning and rushed out. After a busy day, he just returned from the city in the afternoon when Xiaocui and Huiniang showed up at his door.
Xiaocui's husband, Erniu, is the deputy commander of the personal guard. He is strong and honest, and almost everyone in the guard has been helped by him. He is very popular.
Hui Niang's husband, Li Yong, needless to say.
The three people the Marquis trusted most in the Northern Expeditionary Army, besides Li Lao Si and Jiang Cheng, were Li Yong.
Li Yong was originally a scholar and the son of a prominent family. To break free from family constraints, he resolutely severed ties, married and had children, and joined the army.
Such an experience is a legend even in the army.
And Hui Niang and Xiao Cui were both able to write and calculate, they handled affairs thoroughly and fairly, having managed the two villages for so long without making a mistake, they were very respected.
Kong Qinghe welcomed them into the house to sit for a while. Seeing his daughter-in-law shrinking her neck and pretending to be dead, he felt a pang of guilt in his heart.
Indeed, Huiniang and Xiaocui didn't waste any time and directly stated their purpose.
Xiaocui spoke quickly, glaring fiercely at Kong Caizi, and said to Kong Qinghe, "Kong Big Brother, your wife can't stay in Ercun. I hope you can find a way to send her away as soon as possible."
When I first moved to Er Cun, I took her and the other sisters-in-law to visit Old Madam Li. Old Madam gave us some fabric and snacks.
Everyone else was very happy, but she found the gifts lacking and complained that the old lady didn't give her gold or silver jewelry. She also spoke ill of the Li family in private. I refrained from holding it against her because of your face.
After the workshop opened, everyone went to work, and she said she was not feeling well and couldn't do heavy labor. So I arranged for her to stay in the warming room and keep adding firewood.
As a result, she violated the bakery's rules by taking her wet shirts to the warming room several times to dry them along with the noodles.
I criticized her a few times, and she kept saying I was targeting her. We managers discussed it, and we decided not to let her work in the workshop anymore.
But she held a grudge and did another chillingly stupid thing!
A few days ago, the Chen family came to Suijin Beach with a coffin to cause trouble. She met them when she was entering the city and immediately ran back through a shortcut!
"Whoever it was, they should have alerted everyone at this time, so the master could be prepared, right"
Xiao Cui, upon reaching this point, became so enraged that her face turned crimson. She pointed at Kong's wife and began to scold her angrily.
As a result, this heartless wretch not only failed to report the situation but also claimed to be experiencing stomach pains and threatened a miscarriage. She forced the four guards at the gate to remove the door panels and carry her to find a divine physician for treatment, all while orchestrating a diversionary tactic!
As a result, when the Chen family arrived at the gate of Muzha, no one stopped them or even knew they were there. They simply walked right through the gate, carrying the coffin and nearly rushed into the new village.
If it hadn't been for Big Brother Hei and his men happen to see it, the coffin would have crashed into the Li family courtyard.
"You said she's a wretch, didn't you A hateful woman!"
Kong Qinghe's head was buzzing. Looking at his wife, who lay beside him in bed, he felt as if he were seeing a stranger.
He was the marquis's personal guard. Nothing else mattered, loyalty came first.
But he never expected that his daughter-in-law would actually become a traitor!
At a crucial moment, a traitor who makes way for the enemy by pulling their own people aside!
That explains why the brothers' eyes have held a mix of complexity and pity these past few days.
So, it turns out he has such a traitorous daughter-in-law!
He could no longer bear it, rushed to the bed, and slapped his wife two resounding slaps.
Kong Caizi's agonizing screams could no longer feign death.
So, she clung tightly to her husband's arm and cried out in anguish, protesting her innocence.
"Waaaah, master, I'm innocent! Waaah, I don't know what Chen family came to make trouble!"
"I just had a stomachache and bleeding, I thought I was really going to miscarry, so I asked the guards to take me to see a doctor!"
"Waaaah, I wish I could give you a daughter. I really didn't mean to!"
Little Cui's angry little jump, and she wanted to argue with her again. But Huiniang pulled her back and then spoke in a gentle voice.
"Brother Kong, we are also afraid of wrongly accusing Sister-in-law Kong, so these past few days, we have also done some investigation.
When the Chen family carried the coffin out of the city that day, Kong's wife stood by the roadside, and the villagers from Xiaowangzhuang saw it clearly.
"Kōng's wife took a shortcut to Ercu, Xiao Wangzhuang's villagers thought she was coming back to report news, so they didn't follow her. They went to find their leader and organized people to come help cheer them on. "
"Where is the convenience for the enemy that Lady Kong has provided If Lady Kong still wants to argue, she can bring the villagers of Xiaowangzhuang to confront us!"
Even when Zhang, the divine doctor, arrived at the village entrance to treat the injured villagers, he encountered Madam Kong lying on the roadside. He thought she had met with an accident and first felt her pulse.
She wasn't pregnant, and it wasn't even her menstrual period. It was impossible for her to have bleeding and stomach pain!
Kong's wife turned pale, her eyes darting around nervously as she tried to come up with excuses, but seeing the anger and disdain on her husband's face, she simply gave up pretending.
"Boo hoo, why are you looking at me like that, you coward! If you were capable, would I be bullied by others"
"It's because you can't do it, that I have to find a way to take revenge myself!
"
"I didn't do anything wrong! I just transferred people, so what "
Over a hundred people came to Chen's house, and there were only four guarding the gate. Even if they guarded at the bridgehead, it wouldn't be of any use!ntly Has someone been feeding it too much meat"Jia Yin was taken aback, and suddenly realized something was amiss.When she first left the palace, she entrusted three of them to the third princess to k...
