arbarians. 。That's their responsibility! As for whether these soldiers are suffering, it seems to have nothing to do with them. 。But now, to replace these soldiers with their children, the idea seems...The crowd whispered amongst themselves, all feeling a sense of relief.

Mr. Wen and others discussed that they would urge the Dali Temple to speed up their investigation tomorrow, putting more pressure on the Wu family and forcing them to make a move again.

Meanwhile, the people were discussing the Wu family, who were predictably causing quite a stir.

In the front courtyard of the Wu family, in the study, Old Master Wu was chasing his son with a ruler, waving it relentlessly.

"Damn you! I should just kill you! At a time like this, our family is facing disaster, and you're not even helpful. Instead, you're making trouble outside!"

"What on earth did I give birth to you for What sins have I committed!"

Uncle Wu Yan dared not dodge either, he covered his head and lay on the ground howling like a ghost, begging for mercy, "Father, I know I was wrong! "

"Mei Niang was adopted by me last year. I didn't expect our family to encounter such trouble back then!"

“Ouch, it hurts! Father, please stop hitting me, I won't do it again!”

Mr. Wu's cane kept striking, as he scolded: "It's not surprising that you play with several women, but why can't you hide your tracks!"

"They killed him at the beginning of the year, and now everyone knows about it! They're coming after us for punishment!"

"Now you're about to be betrothed to Cao's daughter, and you've got a pregnant mistress!

"

"Haven't you grown a brain yet I'll kill you, you idiot! What use are you to me Just die and leave me in peace!"

"Master, Master!" Madam Wu couldn't bear to see her son in such distress. She rushed forward desperately, embracing her son and pleading for his forgiveness.

"Master, Yan'er knows she was wrong, please don't hit her anymore! She is still young, how could she not make mistakes!"

"After all, that woman is carrying the blood of our family, so it's normal for Yan’er to be reluctant..."

Mr. Wu became increasingly enraged as he listened, and he whacked his wife's back with his ruler twice with all his might.

"You spendthrift woman, I haven't settled the score with you yet, and you dare to jump out!

"If it weren't for your pampering, would you raise such a disobedient child!"

He's keeping a mistress outside and having children with her. Don't pretend you don't know!

"You all knew you were deceiving me, and now look! You've caused trouble and jeopardized the family's important affairs before realizing your mistake and begging for forgiveness!"

Mrs. Wu's pained cries, however, ceased because she was guilty and dared not say another word.

She knew her son was causing a commotion outside.

But in her eyes, how many men weren't lustful.

Even if an outside woman has a child, she can find a farm to raise it in first. When the daughter-in-law moves in later, they can bring the child back then.

Then, who else would dare to make a fuss about a bastard son and demand a divorce They would have to keep it quiet. If that happens, then the matter will be over.

She never expected to be so unlucky, running into the Li family at Cao's house and having them carelessly expose her embarrassing secret!

She desperately protected her son, pleading softly: "Master, it's all over now. Even if you kill me and my son, it won't change anything."

"I will go to Cao's house tomorrow and have a good talk with Mrs. Cao. When the Cao family's daughter marries in, I will definitely treat her well!"

"And that mistress, gone to leave her child..."

Unfortunately, while she was here trying to make amends, her son proved uncooperative. Hearing that he intended to kill his beloved, he immediately cried out, "Mother, you can't kill Mei-niang! I promised her I would let her enter the mansion as a concubine!"

Mrs. Wu heard this and wished she could snatch the ruler away and beat her foolish son to death!

Fortunately, Master Wu had long since given up any illusions about his foolish son. He threw the ruler hard and called his trusted attendant Chang Sui in, ordering, "Take this incompetent thing down and lock him up in the room. One meal a day, no one is allowed to visit him without my order, and he is not allowed to come out!"

Quickly pull Wu Yan out.

Wu Yanzu naturally disagreed, wailing, "Mother, save me! Save me! Mei-niang is about to give birth and is still waiting for me to go back!"

Lady Wu feigned ignorance until her son was dragged away. Then, she cautiously asked, “Master, are we just going to accept this”

"If Your Majesty doesn't take the Empress Dowager's feelings into account, our family might really be stripped of our titles..."

Mr. Wu was agitated, sitting in his chair for a long time before coldly stating: "No, we can't admit defeat, our family won't lose!"

Both Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice have to consider the emperor's opinion and Empress Dowager's feelings, so they wouldn't reveal the results too quickly. This gives us at least two months of free time to utilize!

The only hope for our family is the Empress. If she can give birth to a son, a legitimate prince, he will be the heir apparent, the future emperor.

"The Emperor, for the sake of the Crown Prince, would even turn a blind eye to our family and wouldn't let the Crown Prince have an embarrassing in-law."

"Master said, there is still..." Madam Wu remembered Tao Hongying's warning during the day, and her heart beat slightly.

Mr. Wu didn't notice, and continued, "Once an arrow is loosed, there is no turning back. Since we have become enemies with the Li family, it will be a battle to the death."

"While Marquis Xin is not back, we must crush the Li family!"

Having said that, he finally looked up at his wife, whose face was etched with anxiety. His heart grew even more disgusted.

"You don't need to worry about these things, just take good care of your father."

"If the father passes away, the Empress has to observe filial piety for twenty-seven days. At that time, even if she drinks her heart's blood, she wouldn't be able to share a bed with the Emperor!"

"Yes, yes, I understand, Master." Mrs. Wu quickly agreed.

Thinking to himself, he decided to take out the best ginseng from the warehouse. As long as he could keep the old marquis alive for another two months, they would be fine.

Then, if the Empress were to become pregnant, and the old Marquis passed away, even if the Emperor was furious, he couldn't do anything to the Wu family...

The Li family had almost all their manpower focused on the Wu and Wang families, so they naturally discovered the unusual activity within the Wu family very early on.

When everyone received the news, they became tense and started taking strict precautions.

And Jia Yin, having nothing to do in her leisure, went out again at night.

This time, the people's guess about the "heroic thief" burned down another Wang family's large manor.

The food was still missing, but no harm had come to the peasants patrolling and guarding the fields.

Actually, after the Wu family fell into misfortune, the Wang family had already increased security at the farmland.

But Jia Yin had the space in hand, simply a divine tool for transporting supplies. In just a quarter of an hour, she finished everything, leaving the Wang family completely unprepared!

When the Wang family received the news, they were naturally furious. Then they were thankful that the other granary had not been poisoned.

If Jia Yin heard this, she would definitely roll her eyes.

It wasn't that she was showing mercy, it was just that the farm was too far away; one couldn't make the round trip in a night.

If she wasn't worried about waking up early and grandma not seeing her, she would definitely not miss it!

But even though she only received three granaries, her harvest was abundant.

Right now, in the small courtyard, all available space is filled with sacks of food. Soon there won't even be room to stand!

Jia Yin longed for her stepfather's return with all her heart.

With my godfather's abilities, he will definitely find a suitable place to store these grains.

At that time, she would set aside one-third for emergencies, and the rest would be given to the Northern Expeditionary Army as military rations!

Let's not talk about the Wu family dog being cornered and jumping over the wall, nor the Li family preparing for war. Let's just say that on the vast ocean off the coast of distant Quanzhou, two large ships are relentlessly chasing after the small boats of Japanese pirates, beating them mercilessly!

The Japanese pirates couldn't see their enemy, so they set their small boats on fire and rammed them headfirst into the larger ships, intending to destroy everything in a blaze of glory!
