Chapter 867: Sun and Moon Shine Together

e was even more of a noble air, brought out by the eight treasure necklace adorning her chest. 。Even though people might have never seen each other before, today they secretly sized each other up with..."Why are you saying that, Lord Are you sending the elderly and children away because something is going to happen"

Li Zhensheng was the first to speak, asking two questions before frowning and saying: “I've arranged a courtyard and property in Quanzhou to house my family, so that's not a problem. But traveling thousands of miles, it wouldn't be easy for the elderly and children to make the journey.”

Li Lao'er also said: "Logically speaking, with the Wu family fallen, the Wang family should be like a turtle hiding its head and dare not show itself again."

"And those six investigated officials were warned, no one should dare to touch our family again…"

The Lord waved his hand, signaling them not to think too much about it.

He raised his hand and took a sip of honey water before saying, "Earlier, Jiarren and Funiuer entrusted me to investigate Guli. Before my men could find anything, they were warned."

"When you leave this place today, forget about this ever happening. Pretend nothing took place."

Just know that Guli is like a little manager in our house. He won't do us any harm, and we don't need to take extra care of him.

Googly

Besides Li Lao Er, the rest of the people were unfamiliar with the name, and couldn't help but look confused.

Li Lao'er whispered an explanation to them, "Gu Li was originally Mr. Jiang's student at the schoolhouse, and now he is the head manager of Baiyun."

Jia Yin blinked her big eyes, very curious about Gu Li's identity.

But only Uncle Emperor could warn my stepfather and stop him from investigating...

A possibility flashed through her mind, and her heart leapt with anticipation.

She hurriedly said, "Guli has been taking care of Baiyun Guan for me for a long time. He is very reliable and diligent, not very talkative."

"There's a return for every investment, so I haven't treated him poorly financially."

The lord glanced at Jia Yin, a flash of pride crossing his eyes.

This girl is just smart, other people listen to words, but she figures things out before anyone even opens their mouth.

He still couldn't help but remind her, "Funiu'er, remember to tell your big brother."

"Don't worry, Father. I know what to do." Jiayin quickly nodded in agreement.

Although Li Zhensheng and the others were full of questions, seeing the Lord's solemn expression, they didn't ask further.

The marquis won't harm his own family. Since he said they don't need to worry, let's just pretend we don't know.

Even though Guli had a strange background, his family never mistreated him and had taken him in for so many years. He might not be grateful, but he shouldn't have turned against them, right

Mr. Wen was thoughtful, and after a long silence, he spoke in a low voice: "Lord Hou, is sending the women away also related to this matter"

The Marquis nodded and pointed to the sky, "It's not just that! With the sun and moon vying for brilliance, the new capital will inevitably descend into chaos. "

And, judging by the current situation, it's probably about to begin...

"Our family is close to the Emperor, and we've eliminated many of his enemies. He's undoubtedly hated us for it. Who knows, maybe next time he'll make a move himself."

That one has been quiet these past two years, but don't underestimate them. We might not be able to stop them in the court or the army, but if you want trouble with the women, they're easy to turn to.

"The best course of action is to send the womenfolk to safety. When next year's northern campaign ends and the empire is unified, even if she still resents it, she will be powerless to oppose the Emperor!"

Everyone listened with bated breath, their expressions grave.

Previously, we only pursued the Wu family and let the Wang family go, precisely because we didn't want to directly confront that person.

But just like the lord said, this matter is unavoidable, there will be a "battle" sooner or later.

Li Laoer sighed, "If it's about sending the elderly and children away, giving Jia Yi a chance to see his wife is indeed a good excuse."

Li Laosi also chimed in, "Mother's getting older, and Xingxing and Yuan yuan are still young. We should always be prepared."

"So, let's spread the word first. In about ten days or half a month, Big Brother will lead the fleet south. We'll add one more passenger ship, take everything we need, and travel slowly. It should be fine."

Li Zhensheng nodded, "You don't have to worry about these things. Just persuade our mother, I'll be on the road with you."

When it comes to the phrase "old mother," everyone feels a little apprehensive and instinctively looks to Jia Yin, hoping she will act as a mediator.

Jia Yin had been silent for quite a while, and she had already made up her mind.

At this moment, she waved her hand and said, "Uncle, you don't look at me, I won't go to Quanzhou, I want to stay home."

"Impossible!"

Everyone's faces changed, and they unanimously opposed it.

"Anyone who doesn't leave, you must still leave." Lao Si Li pulled his daughter and, rarely, scolded her a few times. "That person in the palace wants to cause trouble for our family, they'll probably target you first, you must go to Quanzhou!"

Li Zhensheng also said, "Yes, Fu Niu'er is obedient and will go to Quanzhou with her uncle."

"Your uncle will take you out to sea fishing, watch the sunrise, and even go crabbing! You can pick up crabs and shrimps whenever you want!"

Even Lao San spoke up, "Fu Niuer, be obedient. There's Uncle Three to take care of family matters. You're just a child, don't worry yourself."

"Go south for a year and don't forget to bring back some good things for your uncle."

The three brothers were both tough and soft, refusing to let Jia Yin stay no matter what.

Still, the Marquis looked at Jia Yin silently and then said: "Funiu'er, tell me why you want to stay."

Jia Yin immediately laughed, her back straightening. "First, my stepfather and father have fought countless times in blood and fire for the northern expedition and to reclaim our lost territory. Next year will be the most critical year."

"If I stay, I can make more healing salves and can visit the palace at any time. This way, Your Majesty won't forget my father or the Northern Expeditionary Army, and I can prevent villains from sowing discord and hindering the Northern Expeditionary Army."

"Second, I am Princess Kangle. Suijin Beach is my fiefdom, and I cannot leave at will!"

Li Laosi started listening, ready to argue, but by the end he just gave up.

The Heavenly Martial Laws do indeed state that those who have been granted titles are not allowed to leave their fiefdoms without cause, and must at least submit a memorial to the Emperor for approval.

Li Lao Er also smiled wryly, "I forgot about that."

Jia Yin pressed her advantage, throwing out one last heavy-hitting reason.

"Previously, I set fire to two granaries belonging to the Wu family and obtained a large amount of grain. I secretly stashed it away. This is the backup plan for my father and uncle, the most reliable one."

"Should the Imperial Court ever find itself in a predicament where it lacks strength, the Northern Expeditionary Army will not be left to fend for itself. At the very least, I shall stand by its side!"

This statement was somewhat arrogant, but when everyone recalled Jia Yin's miraculous abilities, they all knew this girl wasn't lying.

The marquis listened to the little girl's every word, all for him, for the Northern Expeditionary Army. His heart was filled with a complex mix of emotions.

He reached out and rubbed her soft hair, sighing, "Fu Niuer has really grown up."

"Of course!" Jia Yin smiled sweetly and, seizing the opportunity, hugged her godfather's arm, begging, "Godfather, just let me stay. "

"I have a way to protect myself. Even if I am in a desperate situation, I will not be in danger of losing my life, nor will I suffer!"

"It's my grandmother and mother who have to go to Quanzhou. If they stay, I wouldn't be able to protect them if anything happens."

The tone of this statement was quite strong, causing everyone to feel both helpless and amused.

Thus, they discussed for a long time.

Finally, everyone came to an agreement.ried, and she might have to spend the rest of her life with her son and daughter-in-law. 。Though she came from a family of warriors, Wen Yu wasn't fierce or domineering. She was gentle and quiet, alw...
