time, it's my own shop, so I can do whatever I want!"She then called her mother over and asked with a smile, "Mother, I'll take care of the stall, you provide the recipe, and we'll split the profits...Finally at ease, Jia's second wife asked, "Speaking of the Chen family, isn't that the Chen miss who lost a poetry competition to the county princess at the last summer palace banquet and was slapped"

"That's right," Wan'er nodded, "that's why the matter is quite complicated. The Chen family came to probe, they must also be thinking that if our family agrees, they might have a chance to avenge their precious daughter in the future."

"Dreaming!" Jia Erfu curled her lips, "The county princess is such a good girl, she can't marry a wastrel no matter who she marries."

The nephew and the niece chatted for a while, had lunch, and finally waited for the madam and Jia Xu to return.

The mistress's eyes were red and swollen, clearly showing that she had broken with her family.

After all, compared to a married daughter, the Feng family is more willing to protect two granddaughters-in-law.

It's not that the Feng family doesn't feel sorry for their daughter, it's just that their daughter is like water spilled, while their granddaughter-in-law has given the Feng family a branch and leaves...

Perhaps unwilling to face her family or truly heartbroken, the Madam fell ill upon returning to the courtyard.

Jia Xutong told the crowd the outcome, “The Feng family only punished the two daughters-in-law by making them reflect in their rooms. If they were pushed too far, then Mr. Feng would start accusing our family of making a big deal out of nothing. That’s all we could do!”

Grandma Jia was furious and angrily said, "From now on, this marriage is off! No one from the Feng family is allowed to visit again."

Mr. Jia also nodded, "It's better not to move around, so as not to burden the family."

Wan'er couldn't sit any longer; since they had the result, she needed to go home.

The Jia family had already prepared a generous gift.

Wan'er refused, but the Jia family insisted on giving it.

In the end, Second Madam Jia still whispered to her niece, “These things were all given by Madam Grand to the Feng family. Don't refuse them. Just take them, otherwise she'll probably feel even more burdened.”

Then, Wan'er took her leave and bid farewell to the Jia family before returning to the Earl's Mansion.

The two places weren't too far apart, and after just a quarter of an hour, the carriage arrived at their doorstep.

As soon as Wan'er got off the car, she heard a dog barking and thought she had taken the wrong way.

Li Laer and Mr. Wen both stood in the front courtyard, grinning as they watched several servants feed the dogs.

At some point, our house gained four big dogs. One dog was guarding a bowl and happily gnawing on a bone, its tail wagging so hard it was almost like a fan.

Each big dog was half a person tall, weighing seventy to eighty pounds. They were pure black with bright eyes and looked very imposing, though they were somewhat thin.

"Father, Mr. Wen, where did these dogs come from" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Wan'er was a little afraid, leaning against the wall and cautiously walking past.

"Mu Xu just came back. He heard that someone proposed to Fu Niuer, so he went out and got these dogs, saying they would be raised in the front yard. If any bad guys come again, he'll let the dogs bite them." Li Lao Er smiled and shook his head, clearly thinking this method was naive, but he felt comforted inside.

Mu Xu this kid is very attentive to Jia Yin, he doesn't allow anyone else to covet her in the slightest.

Wan'er also chuckled softly, "He's afraid someone will steal his wife away."

Mr. Wen stepped forward and personally gave a large dog a meat bone. The dog sniffed his hand and continued to eat happily.

Mr. Wen smiled and said, "These dogs are very clever, they recognize their own family members through smell. I wonder where Mu Xu found them"

He didn't have time to say much and went out with Zheng He on official business, only saying that the previous owners of these dogs couldn't afford them anymore, so they were sent to their place as a home for them. Otherwise, they would starve to death.

Li Laoer replied, "Let's raise them in our mansion for a while first, and then send two back to the village. Zhao Shu and the others patrol at night; they could be a great help."

"If my little sister were home, she'd be so happy. These cats and dogs all love her too! I wouldn't say much, but three of them are almost spoiled to the point of being demons!" Wan'er missed her younger sister a bit and said a few words with a smile before the big dogs pestered her.

Unfortunately, she got it wrong this time.

In the Zhi Lan Palace, Jia Yin was tapping on Xiao Hu's forehead with a frown.

You said it was great that I raised a parrot back then, at least it could talk when something happened. How come you raised this foodie instead!

"You see, you went to inquire about something for me, what did you find out"

Cucumber went to see Old Sweet Potato, Old Sweet Potato wants to kill eggplant!

"Luckily, I'm still smart enough to remember the colors they were wearing when we introduced you. Otherwise, I would have thought it was a fight between fruits and vegetables! Now, learn to write immediately!"

Three shriveled necks were pulled back, their tiny eyes red and swollen.

Spying is really not a good job!

Life as a fox is difficult!

It's at the top of the food chain even among foxes, ruling wherever it goes.

Now I'm actually being scorned by a little girl!

Thanks to it running around every day, wasting so much time sleeping and eating fruit, helping to gather information, and still being criticized like this!

I'm so wronged, deeply wronged!

It fell head over heels, with its butt facing the master, refusing to show its face!

Jia Yin had never seen the little fox throw a tantrum before. She blinked a few times, feeling a little nervous.

Aren't we being too harsh on our furry friends...

"That, uh, cough, three little treasures! I just couldn't figure out what you meant before, and I was a bit flustered so I spoke too harshly."

Jia Yin quickly hugged the little fox and soothed it softly.

"Look, we've relied on each other for so many years. No one else understands my temper like you do. I love you the most and treat you the best.

"There are so many fruits in the space, no one else can even have a bite. You, on the other hand, just sit on the tree every day and eat whatever you want! Besides, all those jerky, fish jerky, and fish cakes, were they not made by my own hands"

"Are you really angry with me just because of a few words Isn't that a little childish That's not what a clever and sophisticated fox should do!"

The little fox, coaxed into submission, slowly raised its head and let out two proud chirps.

Jia Yin immediately urged, "I'm teaching you to write for your own good. Think about it, if you learn, you'll be the only fox in the world who can write! How proud and glorious that would be!"

The little fox's eyes were shining…

Shui Ling was sweating profusely after a run. She brought in some freshly baked pastries and saw the three cats patiently practicing calligraphy. They were each holding a paw dipped in ink, carefully tracing the characters in the writing guide... Ready to add color!

She was so startled that her legs went weak and she almost dropped the tray in her hand.

These days, competition is this fierce Even foxes are learning to write now

Then she'll have to step up her game, or she'll be left behind eventually!

Thinking of the mistress's side, there is no longer her place. The little girl's whole person is not good......

Jia Yin didn't notice Shui Ling secretly daydreaming and scaring herself. She was frowning and sighing.

The situation is becoming increasingly dire. If my stepfather were in Xindu, why would he need her to go through all this trouble

Uncle Huang cleaned up two people today, and tomorrow he will clean up three more. It seems like he is about to clean up the entire court.

The man was about to walk out from behind the curtain, and everyone's jaws would drop.

She couldn't predict whether this person in power would be good or bad for her family, but she felt uneasy inside...

Whether it was the Feng family's too low profile or the Chen family's fear of losing face, Mrs. Feng going to Earl's Mansion to propose marriage on behalf of the Chen family's young master never became public knowledge.

And those who also claimed to be smart thought of the Li family as a good "shield".

So, the next day, someone else came to propose.

But this time, the newcomer did not have Lady Feng's good fortune.

The little servant at the Earl's gate asked questions carefully. When he heard the word "engagement," the four giant black dogs who had just moved in yesterday were quickly on duty.

As soon as the side door opened, four big dogs shot out like four leopards, barking wildly and biting whoever they could catch!

Two updates today ~~."The lord stuffed the water pouch and dry rations into Mu Xu's hands, then his gaze remained deep as he looked at the valley.Perhaps because of this final battle, he was too nervous.Why did he always...
