ting aggressively, said, "Boy, put down the knife! You can't hurt our general!""Yes, yes, put the knife down! Be careful, General!"It's a pity, though they said so, none of them stepped forward.Jia Yi...After a quick wash, Jia Yin hurried to the front yard.

In the main hall, Tao Hongying changed into a burgundy silk jacket embroidered with gold and silver, her raven hair styled in a single bun held by a silver comb inlaid with carvings. A beeswax pendant adorned with piled floral designs was slanted behind her ear.

Her complexion, which had been rather pale, was brightened considerably by a layer of powder.

Her eyebrows were carefully drawn, adding two points of ink black, coupled with a bright red lipstick, she was truly stunningly beautiful.

Just sitting in a chair, simply glancing through a book, feels more dignified and elegant than usual.

Grandma He stood quietly beside him, her eyes lowered, occasionally muttering a few words in a low voice.

Jia Yin came rushing over. Seeing her mother like this, she was also stunned for a moment, then rushed forward and hugged her mother's arm with a smile.

"Mother, you are truly beautiful today. This is the perfect outfit for you! I prepared so many dresses and jewelry for you before, and you kept them all hidden away. Now, they finally get to shine!"

Tao Hongying was actually quite nervous inside. She had gotten up an hour early to make herself look like this.

Bolstered by her daughter's praise, she straightened her spine even further.

She lovingly tidied up her daughter's messy hair and smiled, "From now on, mother will listen to you. Whatever you think looks good, that's what you'll wear!"

"Today's menu, Mother has already decided and given to Shuicun. You stay home with Grandmother, I'm going into the city. I need to check the shop's accounts and visit your Aunt Liu."

"And last night's bird's nest soup, Mother forgot to make for you. I'll make it up to you tonight."

Jiayin guessed her mother's thoughts to a certain extent, her heart was both sour and warm. So she kept nodding, obediently agreeing, so that her mother wouldn't have to worry about her even when she was outside.

Soon, everyone in the family came over for dinner.

Li Zhensheng and Li Lao'er had already gone out with Mr. Wen from next door, leaving only Li Lao Tai and Zhao Yuru at the table, along with the three Jia Ren brothers.

Seeing Tao Hongying's drastic change, everyone was astonished, but they didn't say anything, fearing she might feel uncomfortable.

After dinner, Tao Hongying arranged the house and took Grandma He to the city by car.

Jia Yin was worried that someone might cause trouble on the road and wanted Shui Ling to go with her, but Tao Hongying refused.

Jia Yin stood at the doorstep, blowing in the biting autumn wind. She remained silent for a long time.

Li Laotai held Xingxing forward and advised, "Don't feel sorry for your mother. Everyone has things they don't want to do but have to do in life."

And, your mother isn't only because of you, but also because of An Ge'er and your father.

"Angela will need a wife someday, and your father needs a virtuous woman at his side, not just someone to cook."

"Actually, it's not just your mother. Even me and your third uncle's wife will be going out more often in the future..."

Seeing that Grandma’s arms ached, JiaYin took XingXing into her arms and took the pearl necklace off her wrist to give him to play with.

She tried to cheer up and changed the subject, smiling and saying, "Grandma, I want to eat sugar oil cakes. Can you fry a plate at noon"

Before the old woman could respond, Xingxing was already excitedly clapping her little hands. "Xingxing wants to eat too, sugar cakes, eat sugar cakes!"

Li Laotai couldn't help but laugh, poking the little boy's nose. "You're just like your aunt when she was young, a glutton."

Just as Mrs. Wen brought Yueya over, she said, "Auntie, please give Yueya a piece of sugar cake at noon too. I'm going back to the estate today."

"The autumn harvest is so busy, I haven't been back home yet."

Of course, Old Mrs. Li readily agreed. Thus, the line for eating sugar cakes grew by another fair and chubby little girl.

When the sun was high in the sky, a pair of handsome men and beautiful women sat side by side on the threshold of Li's kitchen.

Two little ones, equally fair and chubby, held their small bowls in hand. Their mouths were smeared with candy glaze, their little hands slick with oil.

Jia Yin sat on the chair in the doorway, holding a small bowl of sugar oil cake and sighing constantly. This attracted Hui Niang, who had come to deliver dried mushrooms, curious and she asked, "What's wrong with Fu Niu er Is the sugar oil cake not tasty Why are you sighing"

Jiayin put on a pitiful expression and replied, "Master, I've fallen out of favor!"

"The throne on the doorframe was mine, and now it's been snatched away! A single sugar cake can't mend my wounded heart."

Li Laotai happened to be holding some sugar oil cakes, wanting to bring a plate back for Huiniang. Hearing this, she directly tossed one into her granddaughter's bowl and said with a frown, "Then two!"

Jia Yin immediately changed her expression, saying in a exaggerated tone: "Oh my, what do you mean by losing favor I don't know anything about it"

Everyone couldn't hold back their laughter and burst out laughing.

Waner and Wenjuan were originally in the backyard, but with so many things happening at home, they were also a little flustered. So they brought Yuan Yuan to the front yard.

As soon as they crossed the threshold, they were met with such cheerful laughter. The two looked at each other in confusion, wondering what had happened, but their hearts felt instantly lighter...

The courtyard of Liu's family in Xindu.

Mrs. Liu herself went to the second gate to greet Tao Hongying, taking her hand and walking inside, smiling and saying: “Hongying, didn't you just finish bustling about Yuan Yuan's full moon wine yesterday How come you have time to visit me today”

Tao Hongying replied, "Yesterday I heard from the mamas around your sister-in-law that you weren't feeling well. I kept it in mind, and since I was coming to the city today, I brought two snacks for your sister-in-law."

"Besides, I also have something to ask my sister-in-law for help with."

When Mrs. Liu heard this, her face flushed slightly. She quickly said, "I don't have anything serious. I just had my period and wasn't feeling comfortable, so I stayed in bed all day."

Having said that, she quickly changed the subject, “Roundround’s full moon wine, how did you get it to be a full moon banquet I remember our family customarily held a hundred-day celebration”

"There's no way around it, you have to go with the local customs," Tao Hongying replied nonchalantly. "We in Beidi are used to holding a 100-day celebration, but since moving here two years ago, seeing everyone else do a full moon celebration, we've followed suit as well."

"Actually, it doesn't really matter, I just wanted to announce to everyone that our family has a big, fat baby boy! Come and send gifts quickly!"

Madam Liu was amused by her and giggled, then entered the flower hall. The maid brought tea and snacks, and also asked Mama He to go downstairs for a rest.

Then Madam Liu asked, "Hongying, if there's anything you need help with, just speak up. Just now, Master also came over and chatted with my grandfather and father for a long time. "

Finally, our master left with my uncle. I was curious for a moment and casually asked, "Is something wrong at home"

Tao Hongying's eyes darkened, and she grasped Liu's hand.

"Sister-in-law, I need your help..."

When the sun began to set, Jiayin still hadn't waited for her mother to return from the city. She was a little worried, so she went to the village entrance to have a look.

Just as Yezhan and Dongmei returned from outside, they saw their master and immediately stepped forward to report.

Yejian said, "Princess, all the tasks you assigned have been completed."

"So fast" Jia Yin was a little surprised.

She was furious last night, no matter how much she thought about it. Even though grandma didn't want her to get involved or seek revenge personally, she still planned to protect herself as best she could.

Give the enemy a taste of their own medicine, without revealing any secrets.

For example, they dug up the secrets of the Wu family and the Wang family!." Xiao Cui nodded resolutely.Tao Hongying inquired about the wages and year-end bonus from before the new year, seeing that there were no major oversights, she then took her daughter home.On the road...
