rrogant on a daily basis, a warning example won't hurt.”The attendant dared not reply, bowing silently and retreating to the corner.At this moment, a group of officers rode in on horseback bringing a...Mr. Wen and his wife also remembered, they went home to send the baby mooncakes and changed into plain clothes before coming over again to have a look.

Everyone asked the couple to sit down.

Li Zhensheng was the first to speak, "Well, second brother, did you find out anything"

Li Lao Er opened his mouth wide, but felt a dryness in his throat. He snatched the tea bowl from his older brother's hand and gulped it down clean before looking at his niece.

A girl in her teens, is at the most innocent and beautiful age of her life.

The mere thought of someone trying to... would send him into a rage!

"Old Second, why don't you say something" Li Zhensheng urged his younger brother when he saw him silent.

Li Laotai also said, "Yes, what's going on Tell us quickly!"

"Isn't that maid refusing to confess Can even Dr. Zhang not do anything about it" Tao Hongying was also anxious, instinctively reaching out with one hand to shield her daughter behind her.

Li Lao Er thought for a moment and said, "That maidservant spoke up and revealed some information."

She and the woman who poisoned in the kitchen were both assassins. Their master was the Wu family of Jiangning Houfu. This time they acted, it was under the orders of the eldest son of Jiangning Houfu.

“Before, we also guessed that the Jiangning Hou Mansion would do harm to Fu Nuer. Now that it's confirmed, we can deal with it.” Li Zhensheng frowned and asked, "Why is the Wu family trying to harm our family, or why are they trying to harm Fu Nuer"

Li La Er took a deep breath, "The death squad's orders were to capture Fu Niuer and deliver her to the Wu family. If they couldn't capture her alive, they were to... send back a bowl of their own blood to the Wu family."

It is said that the Empress must drink Fu Niuer's heart blood in order to conceive and give birth!

Heart palpitations!

Pregnancy!

Everyone was stunned for a long moment, all suspecting they had misheard.

This is utterly cruel and absurd!

“Those damned beasts! They’re going to kill my sister!” Maoge, who had been sitting at the door with his brothers, was the first one to jump up, his eyes bloodshot as he rushed toward the exit.

Jia Ren and Li Ge'er pulled him back. Jia Ren, with red eyes, scolded, "Don't run around, listen to what the family arranges!"

Li Zhensheng grabbed the teacup in his hand and smashed it to pieces. He suddenly stood up and shouted angrily: "They are so audacious! The Wu family has eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's gall, daring to plot against our Li family's children!"

"This time, if I cannot bring ruin to the Wu family and make the Empress pay the price, then I, Li Zhensheng, will headbutt myself to death at the palace gates!"

"No, if I'm going, I'll go myself!" Li Laotai stood up supporting the square table, her face ashen, her lips trembling with anger.

"I'm going to the palace, I must ask the Emperor! For all these years, our Li family has done so much for Tianwu. Shouldn't that be enough to keep Fu Niu safe and sound"

"Just now her father and brothers are all struggling out there! Our Li family doesn't ask for great riches or to run amok. We just want to keep one little girl safe, why is this so difficult!"

"If the Emperor doesn't care, we leave! We go into the mountains, we live in caves. There are wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountains, but these people in Xin Du are all wolves in human skin!"

"Our Li family is done with this! The mountains won't do, so we'll go to a foreign land and find An Ge'er and Xi Ge'er!"

Lao Li was truly heartless.

The Li family wouldn't say they made any huge contributions to Tianwu, but at least they were loyal and dedicated.

As a result, the Queen and the Wu family were so arrogant and brazen, openly demanding to gouge out the "heart" of the Li family!

Tao Hongying wanted to speak, but as soon as she opened her mouth, tears came pouring down. She held her daughter tightly, and after a long while, she choked out a few words.

"Funiu'er, mother was wrong!"

Yes, she was wrong.

She was just a peasant woman, and being diligent and outspoken enough was already quite competent.

Over the past few years, life in Xindu has been prosperous. There's a grandmother at home making decisions, an elder brother holding a government position, a husband serving as a general, and even a daughter who is a county princess. There's also a marquis backing them up.

She simply 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, everything would be fine.

But she hadn't expected that someone would, for such a ridiculous reason, want to gouge out her daughter's heart!

Jia Yin's mind was buzzing like thunder.

After all, who wouldn't be enraged to hear that someone wants to drink their heart's blood

What did she do to deserve this She's coming at me with murderous intent!

In a flash, Jia Yin's mind conjured up ten thousand ways to seek revenge, wishing she could immediately crush the Wu family, old and young, and the empress into dust!

But soon she came to herself.

Because her mother held her too tightly, she was having trouble breathing...

"Mother, don't be afraid, I'm fine, at least I'm still kicking! And besides, we know who's behind this, so it'll be easy to handle!"

She quickly patted her mother and grabbed her grandmother's cold hand, continuing to comfort her.

"Grandma, don't worry. I have a way to protect myself, even get revenge, for this matter, without relying on our family..."

Unfortunately, before she could finish her sentence, the old woman guessed what she meant.

The old woman cut her off directly, “Absolutely not! With so many people in the family, when would we ever need your ideas Just stay home obediently!”

The old woman was too afraid that her granddaughter would be angry and lose control, so she didn't show off those magical abilities in front of others.

Even if I get revenge, in the end, I'll still be seen as a monster and won't have a good ending!

"The old lady is right!" Liu Biaotou also stood up and said, "There are so many fellow villagers in the village, so many people, if we can't protect the County Princess, then everyone would be ashamed to live."

The village head and Mr. Zhao, along with several others, were also excitedly moved to their feet.

The village head, his face dark with anger, shouted, “We’ve lived through all sorts of dangers and hardships. We’ve seen it all.”

"There's no reason why life should be better today, with plenty of money and people, yet we have to watch others bully our children!"

Zhao Yuru and Wan'er, Wenjuan didn't know what to say. The three of them walked up to Jiayin with their legs weak, surrounding her tightly in the middle.

Zhao Yuru was still unwilling, and asked: "Big brother, second brother, can't we report this matter to the Emperor"

Li Zhensheng and Li Laoer both shook their heads.

Li Lao'er said, "We are all just guessing now. Besides the testimony of a young maid, there is no solid evidence."

Even if we took the maid to lodge a complaint, the Wu family and the Empress would say that we were making false accusations. After all, the Empress is the Mother of the Nation; a charge of disrespect would be enough to ruin our family's reputation.

Besides, there are still many details about this matter that remain unclear. I suspect the Empress and the Wu family were used as pawns, and there may be others who are actually working against our family.

"Our family just brought down the Wu family and the Empress, but the people behind them remain unharmed and will still target our family..."

Just then, Zheng He rushed back and diligently reported.

"Master, the news is in. The rumors spread about the Miss were indeed orchestrated by the Wang family. "

"Besides, Lord Chu Heng, Zhang Jian (an official of the fourth rank), merchant Liu Jia, and several distant relatives of the Wang family all joined in, fanning the flames."

Shao Qing Chu Heng

Zhang Jian, the official of the rank of Member of the Imperial Council

Liu's Merchant Family

Everyone was confused and puzzled. They didn't understand where these people came from or why they were siding with the Wang family against the Li family.

Li Lao Er frowned, opening his mouth to explain things to everyone.

When I was first bestowed the title of Lord, this Chu Heng and Zhang Jian once invited me to drink flower wine.

And, the two of them are lapdogs of the Wang family, taking orders from Old Third Wang!

Jiaren also chimed in: "That merchant, the Liu family, should be the home of Liu Kui, my former classmate."

"That time he and Wang Sheng cheated in Mahjong, trying to sabotage my college entrance exam. In the end, they were expelled from the academy and have harbored resentment ever since..."ch other, unsure of how to speak.It's not that they disliked the Li family or Princess Kangle. It was just that they didn't know how to evaluate them.To say that the Li family is domineering and lacks...
