had been exposed. Although he didn't know where he'd gone wrong, the most important thing was to escape for his life.Hearing the women being so fierce, he was truly scared. Gritting his teeth and end...Meow Meow winked at his brothers and quickly followed after them.

After leaving Mr. Tang's courtyard, Jiayin went straight to the dining hall.

After several years of renovations, the dining hall is much more spacious than it used to be.

The original tea stall was also renovated into three quiet rooms, one for operating and storing ingredients, and two with tables and chairs, providing a place for students to drink and chat.

There is a flowerbed outside the window, and the room inside is bright and clean, decorated in a simple and elegant way, which is very popular with students.

Xiaoyue did not follow her master to Quanzhou, staying behind to manage the milk tea shop business and take care of the small courtyard.

Seeing Gaian coming, she was overjoyed and ran to greet her from afar. She invited Gaian into the house for juice.

Meowge ordered a drink without hesitation, but Mu Xu licked his dry lips and didn't dare to speak.

Treat even good words as if you had not heard them.

She knew it wasn't Mu Xu's fault, but she couldn't help but vent her anger.

Originally, her stepfather had arranged for Mu Xu to be by her side with the intention of making him her husband.

During this time, she had also become much closer to Mu Xu. She liked his unworldliness and his carefree nature.

And then, out of nowhere, a "Third Uncle" appeared. He seemed like the kind of person who thinks they can control everything and is really annoying.

Needless to say, all relationships that seemed promising and were developing smoothly now need to be reconsidered in light of this change.

All of Jia Yin's thoughts are now on the Northern Campaign. After all, this war involves too many relatives and acquaintances, and it has a huge impact on their family.

At this point, she hated all the unexpected changes, everything that fell outside her predictions.

Just like a well-worn teacup with a few cracks, she would still try to patch it up. At this point, she thought she might as well smash it to pieces; out of sight, out of mind!

Xiaoyue, having managed her business for several years, had learned to read people. She noticed something was off about the masters and racked her brain trying to find a way to ease the tension.

Fortunately, Li Laosan heard the news and came in.

People chatted together, talking about the daily trivialities of the dining hall.

Li Laosan was very happy and kept his niece and nephew for a meal, and also inquired about Mr. Tang's birthday banquet.

Jia Yin only likes to be with a small number of people. It's pleasant to come over and have dinner with Third Uncle.

Li Laosan wasn't the honest and simple farmer he used to be. He sensed something was amiss, but didn't ask any questions.

After everyone finished their meal, Jia Yin greeted the villagers who were working in the dining hall before leaving the academy.

Brother Cat coaxed his little sister happily, and went to the end of the street to buy glutinous rice cakes.

Mu Xu got the opportunity and quickly stepped forward to say to Jia Yin, "Miss, today's events were an accident…"

Jia Yin waved her hand, unwilling to say more. "I know, it's a happy occasion for you to reunite with your kin. Congratulations. As for the rest, let's wait until my foster father returns and discuss everything then," she said.

Mu Xu had been at the Li family for so long, he understood Jia Yin's temperament best.

In her teens, she would still be that little girl who only focused on clothes and jewelry in other families' homes.

But in the Li family, Jia Yin was the undisputed authority. In both Suijin Beach and Earl's Mansion, she could make her own decisions, and no one in the Li family would dare to stop her.

This is because she possesses intelligence and fortitude that surpass ordinary girls. Similarly, this also makes her often more self-reliant, unwilling to rely on anyone, and disinclined to listen to any explanations or advice.

Just now, her uncle's unintentional attitude made her unhappy, and she decisively withdrew some thoughts...

Mu Xu couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness in his heart. Gaining the affection of a girl was like trying to fill the sea with pebbles—incredibly difficult. But getting a girl to change her mind was as easy as a landslide...

This made him deeply regret it. If he had known this would happen, he absolutely should not have come here today!

What three grandfathers He doesn't care at all!

Don't say that he is a selfish person who has been away from home for many years and has not helped his family or himself at all. Even if his grandfather were to come back to life, he wouldn't be able to interfere with his life or tell him what to do!

Meow-ge brought back some sticky rice cakes. Jia-yin ate four or five in one breath and then returned to the small courtyard.

Zhao Yuru went to Quanzhou, Wen Juan and the children were also not there. Lao San spent most of his time in the canteen. Even though Xiaoyue often came back to clean, the courtyard still showed a trace of decay and desolation.

Remembering the lively times spent here as children, Jia Yin and Mao Ge'er rolled up their sleeves and personally washed all the places, wiping them clean and dry.

When Jia Ren and Li Ge Er came, the two praised their younger siblings highly.

As she was about to get into the carriage at the gate, the door of the next courtyard suddenly opened. A girl around Jia Yin's age walked out, followed by a quick-witted little maid.

Perhaps not expecting anyone outside, the girl jumped in surprise. She was about to avoid it when she stopped and took the initiative to ask, "But... County Princess Kangle"

Jia Yin looked back and took a closer look.

The girl was not very tall and slightly chubby. She wasn't stunningly beautiful, but she had a delicate charm. Her skin was very fair, adding to her cuteness.

A hint of familiarity in her eyes and brows allowed her to recall a name from her memory.

"Nannan"

" giggled and bowed again, replying, "Thank you, County Princess, for remembering my name."

Jia Yin nodded, wanting to say something. After all, she had seen Nanny when she first arrived in this world, and the two families could be considered to have some fate.

Unfortunately, later a wet nurse ruined this bit of fate entirely.

It feels a bit awkward meeting like this, not knowing what to say.

"Little girl understands these things as well. She speaks again, “Back then, I thank your household for returning the silver and supporting my upbringing. Little girl is grateful.”

"Also, three years ago the wet nurse passed away on the estate. Last month I also got engaged, and next year I will get married."

Few words, but a lot of information.

Jia Yin thought for a moment, then said, "I hope you are happy, with a harmonious family and a beautiful life."

"Thank you, Princess," Nanny bowed her head and then slowly retreated back to the courtyard, closing the door.

Jia Yin also got into the carriage, Mu Xu was about to jump onto the carriage shaft, but Jia Ren called him to share the ride.

Zheng Yi gave him a look that said "good luck," then took the reins.

Two carriages rushed all the way to Xindu and returned directly to the Earl's Mansion.

When getting off the car, Jia Yin glanced at Mu Xu. Seeing that he was listless, she didn't say anything and went straight back to the backyard.

Wǎn'ér took it, thinking her younger sister was tired and told her to rest well. She also had the kitchen send a bowl of bird's nest porridge to nourish her younger sister.

After saying a few words to Wan'er, Jiarren called his two younger brothers into the study.

Almost as soon as he entered, Mao Ge'er cried out, "The Marquis is too much! How could you just casually promise your sister away!"

"Brother Li, he also frowned and replied, "Sister, you haven't reached the age of 15 yet. Thinking about marriage at this time is indeed a bit early."

Jia Ren poured tea for his younger brothers and said fairly, "I guess the Duke is afraid that if it's delayed, someone will take advantage of my sister's marriage to plot against our family."

"Our younger sister, we know her best. While Fuku looks obedient and well-behaved, what she thinks inside is different from all other girls.

"

If she were truly to be matched with a son of a noble family, those rules alone would drive her to utter disgust.

Mu Xu is an orphan with no family ties. He has a rebellious and free spirit, and he is also skilled in martial arts for self-defense. If he truly loves his younger sister deeply, showering her with love and affection, he would indeed be a good match for her.

"However, no one expected that Mr. Tang would actually be an elder of the Mu family!"

Li Ge'er and Mao Ge'er were persuaded, both sighing.

Máo Gēr, agitated, took a gulp of tea and asked, "What are we to do now Doesn't Mr. Tang intend to interfere with Mù Xǔ and his sister"

Today's update is here!o come over for two days to celebrate. The lord found a wet nurse for Funiu, Yishan went to help pick her up, and Dongmei took this opportunity to dry the quilts and wash the clothes.""Our Fu Niao is...
