seThough they tried to refuse, they had no choice but to accept.They've been working their fingers to the bone these days, afraid they wouldn't be worth the pay!But the only regret is that although th...Outsiders initially thought that the Li family would at most not open the door. Who would have thought that when they opened it, a ferocious dog greeted them instead.

The maids and female servants screamed in terror, and they didn't care about the difference between master and servant anymore. They all crowded into the carriage, trembling with fear.

The coachmen all clambered onto the carriage shafts and jumped up and down.

Luckily, the horse was frightened and started to run away, finally carrying everyone out of the street where Li's house was located.

As soon as the servant knocked on the rice bowl, the big dogs obediently retreated.

A few idle passersby who happened to witness the commotion on the street, wished they could disappear into a crack in the wall for fear that they too might become the target of the vicious dog.

Thus, within half a day, news spread again of the Li family's brutality and lack of manners, releasing vicious dogs to injure people.

Of course, there must be a reason why a dog bites someone.

When word got out that someone was eyeing the happiness of County Princess Kangle, intending to use marriage to climb the Li family ladder for safety, everyone finally understood.

It's no wonder the Li family is like this. Who wouldn't be angry if their daughter was so much in demand

Moreover, Consort Kang Le is the treasure of the Li family, the apple of their eye and the darling of their heart!

It's only a light matter when Li Family's dogs bite people!

Someone whispered, "Just wait and see, the Li family definitely wouldn't just send dogs to bite people!"

But some people didn't care, saying, "They were just looking for a match, and if it doesn't work out, so what What can the Li family do about it"

In the midst of much speculation, everyone is watching with bated breath.

At this very moment, in Zhi Lan Palace, the third princess felt indignant that her younger sister had been wronged. She was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves!

"Who ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall, dares to be my sister's husband! Tie him up, let me beat him a hundred boards first! I'm truly tired of living, what kind of demons and ghosts are jumping out!"

Jia Yin wasn't angry at all, even though she hadn't expected this. After thinking about it carefully, it made sense.

Now, Xin Du is like a large ship. When a storm comes, those who want to stay on board will do everything they can to avoid being thrown overboard.

The Li family, sitting in the middle of the boat, a low-key and steady presence, naturally became the target of many.

And she was the adopted daughter of Marquis Xinting, a close friend of the Third Princess. She could even address the Emperor as "Uncle". Whoever married into her family would essentially be given a golden amulet!

"Alright, don't get too upset. In a few days, the fuss will die down, and there won't be any more of this ridiculousness."

She pulled the Third Princess down and consoled her, "Besides, this is a good thing. It shows that this young lady is peerless in beauty, everyone wants to have her."

The third princess sized her up and down several times, wanting to launch into a mocking tirade but feeling guilty about it.

It has to be said, girls really do change a lot after they turn eighteen.

Jia Yin was a chubby little kid when she was young, adorable and round.

But now she has grown into a beautiful girl, with graceful eyebrows and eyes, and an inner richness that shines through. She is charming in every way.

Most importantly, there was a peculiar feeling of peace and tranquility around her.

If one were to marry such a good woman, I'm afraid any man would dream of it and wake up smiling...

"Fine, fine, I give up! You're so smart, I won't waste my time with you. Just in case I get wrinkles, then you won't be as pretty!"

Having said that, she hurriedly called Caicun to bring her a mirror, and then looked at herself repeatedly without getting tired…

The second day was a morning court session. As soon as the Emperor had settled onto his dragon throne, an imperial censor stepped forward and delivered a scathing accusation.

The accused included several people, including the Minister of Personnel.

The charges against him were numerous and varied, ranging from oppressing the populace to seizing farmland, even to preying on men and women. In short, there was no crime he hadn't committed, and each accusation was backed by irrefutable evidence.

Although these crimes wouldn't result in death penalty, they were serious enough to ruin these people's careers and lives.

The emperor was very clear that these people were not on the list to be purged.

But the prey that came to his doorstep still deserved its fate, and he would naturally not let it go.

After the punishment, the vacant positions could be filled with reliable personnel.

Thus, no matter how Chen Shilang and the others cried out their innocence, they were all eventually taken away.

Chen Shilang glared fiercely at Wen Yushi, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

Wen Yu sighed helplessly.

He had truly prepared a written plea, the same one he and Li Laoer and Liu Ziheng had finalized last night. The charges and evidence were complete.

But who knew, he didn't even need to take action, a group of "righteous people" had already launched an attack.

Not to mention Master Chen and the others, he was even more curious, who could have done this!

Outside the palace gate, Li's carriage was parked at the outermost edge. Li Lao Er and Liu Zhi Heng, these two who had called in sick leave, were hiding inside the carriage, sipping tea and waiting for Mr. Wen to come out.

During that time, news came out that Chen Shilang and others had been investigated and punished.

Liu Ziheng still praised with a smile, "Mr. Wen is really amazing, he made it as soon as he made a move."

Li La Er yawned and replied, “The people at home have been busy day and night, the evidence is solid, and the Emperor will definitely punish him fairly. Thankfully, we accumulated a lot of intelligence over the years, which has come in handy now.”

Liu Zhiheng gave a thumbs up, sincerely admiring.

"Many people often joke that your family has shallow roots, but if they knew your family was the most well-informed about all the news in Xin Du, they would probably be so surprised their teeth would fall out. Playing dumb to get ahead, quite clever!"

Li Laoer waved his hand, being very humble, "Our family is just trying to protect ourselves. After all, suddenly squeezing into your wealthy and powerful families, without a little bit of skill, one day we might be sold and even count the money for others!"

"That's true, one must always be wary of others," Liu Zhiheng sighed. "I find it boring as well. When Zhimin and Xiujie grow up, I'll build a house in your Suijin Beach and enjoy a peaceful retirement there."

"Great, when that time comes we can spend our days soaking in hot springs and sipping wine, wouldn't that be blissful"

When you have nothing to do, why not wear a straw hat and go take a look at the melon field.

The two chatted and laughed, and soon it was time for court to dismiss.

Mr. Wen followed the crowd out of the palace and as soon as he got into the carriage, he was warmly praised by Li La'er and Liu Zhiheng.

"Wen Yu Shi strikes with incredible success!"

"That's right, not even a mere junior minister, but even high-ranking officials like ministers and marquesses would be terrified upon hearing his name."

Mr. Wen quickly waved his hand and smiled bitterly, "Our plan didn't work out!"

"Oh, no way!" Liu Zhiheng pointed outside the carriage and whispered, "Didn't Chen Shilang's men all get sent to Dali Temple"

Mr. Wen's expression grew even more strange. "Someone beat me to it and had Chen, the Minister of Rites, arrested. It has nothing to do with me!"

Li Laoer and Liu Zhiheng remained silent for a long time.

In this day and age, are there still people who rush to seek revenge

"Could it be someone left by the Marquis" Liu Zhiheng speculated.

"Impossible," Li Lao Er immediately shook his head. "The Master's men are all under Mu Xu's management. Half of the evidence I have here was arranged by him. It's impossible for him to go to such lengths and find someone else to file a report."

"Let's go home first and talk." Mr. Wen couldn't figure it out either, so he hurriedly ordered Zheng He to drive back home. It was safer to speak at home than outside.

Needless to say how surprised the Li family was, in the Lu family's backyard, Lu Zong also frowned and asked, "Are you sure the person who submitted the letter wasn't from the Earl's Mansion"

"No, Young Master. Governor Wen didn't speak at all, and our people didn't make a move. It was definitely someone else." Lu Feng looked strange and cautiously asked, "Could it be that there are others... who couldn't bear to see the County Princess being bullied"

Lu Zhong couldn't guess what was going on and felt a little agitated. Just as he was about to speak, a young servant hurried in to report, "Young Master, the imperial physician from the palace has come again!"

Lu Zong's face turned pale, he cursed softly, his heart filled with regret.

How could I have been so foolish to come up with such a lame excuse to postpone the wedding

Now things have gone wrong, it's a predicament of one's own making. They are shooting themselves in the foot.

He lay down on the bed with a darkened face, gritting his teeth and uttering, "Come!"

Today's update is delayed due to an urgent matter, I apologize, my dears. Tomorrow, I will resume updating twice!y loved, she must be taken away no matter what."Li La Er didn't speak. Compared to the little fox itself, the task it bore was the key among keys!If successful, the entire Heavenly Martial world will...
