Chapter 508: Have all human hearts turned rotten?

illage and we had to sleep under a big tree at the village entrance. At that time, I was holding Funiu in my arms, and I just thought that even if there was a broken straw hut, it would be nice for us...Li Lao San had obviously been holding it in all the way, and now he complained angrily: “Mother, what’s wrong with this world Have people’s hearts all rotted”

"Those classmates of Jia Ren from that study hall, whenever they came to the dining hall for meals, we always made sure to look after them a little extra, hoping that Jia Ren, among his classmates, could get along well with everyone. Now, these people are not grateful, but how dare they scheme against Jia Ren!"

Old Li listened, bewildered. She quickly pulled her son down and fanned him with a large bamboo fan to cool his temper. "Tell me slowly," she said, "This makes no sense at all. Did you find out that the page boy's master and Jia Ren are both from the same school"

“Yes,” Li Laosan said, sounding a bit deflated. “It’s the two students from Jiaren’s school. I don’t know how to tell Jiaren… This child gets along well with his classmates usually, and suddenly something like this happens. I wonder how heartbroken he must be.”

Jia Yin asked Ligouer a few questions yesterday, and her private guess is also close to this result.

Since there was no feud between the Li family and the people in the academy, the gentlemen even had a few more friendly feelings towards the Li family, hoping that the Li family would send their daughter to the academy.

Students eat all three meals a day at the cafeteria. The food is tasty and affordable, and there are also fresh drinks and fruits available.

Of course, no one wants to be enemies with the Li family. Let's see how they make things difficult for themselves.

Therefore, there are only two possibilities.

One was living near He Ren, perhaps he offended his classmates unknowingly and was envied by them.

Another is Li's enemy, who reached into the academy and bribed students to trip him up.

But no matter which one, it is full of malice!

Grandmother Li also sighed, “It’s best to have your elder brother and second brother come over and discuss this. Jiaren would definitely need to be informed as well. Let's just choose after school at the academy.”

"Alright, Mother, I'll make the arrangements." Li Lao San got up and prepared to go into town to send a message.

At this time, Ye Shan stepped forward and said, "Third Master, leave this to me. You still have to attend to the kitchen work. I'm free anyway."

"Besides, I also want to ask the names of those mischievous students behind this and look into their backgrounds. Perhaps then we can understand why they framed the young master…"

Li Laosan and Li Lao Tai were, of course, delighted and immediately agreed.

The Ye Shan couple were people that the Marquis had left behind to look after Jiayin. They usually kept a low profile and didn't draw attention to themselves.

But the head steward of Hou Mansion was very polite to them, not daring to be even slightly disrespectful.

It was when the Marquis first encountered the Li family that he was seriously ill and had only this husband and wife attending to him.

This is the core of my confidantes!

While the surface operations of the Marquis' Mansion are handled by the steward, many of the behind-the-scenes personnel and tasks fall under the responsibility of Ye Shan and his wife.

This time, Li Jiaxu wanted to find out the details of the students. It would take a lot of effort, but here in Yemountain, it was as easy as eating and drinking.

Soon, Yeshan set off into the city, and Lao San Li returned to the dining hall.

Li Laotai let out a breath, her heart was a bit flustered, but she still patiently continued to sew for her grandchildren.

Firstly, when she's busy, she won't overthink things.

Moreover, rushing to get the shorts and tank tops out before tonight, so the grandchildren can sleep more comfortably...

Jia Yin, restless as always, took the three pups out to play in the courtyard for a while. Then she went to the empty guest room and helped Wen Juan's wife make ice.

Remembering when I was little, those traveling peddlers would ride their bikes, carrying buckets filled with ice pops and ice bricks along the lanes.

She suddenly felt a craving and rolled up her sleeves to join in, wanting to try making some ice pops.

As a result, Wenjuan was afraid of hurting her beloved younger sister-in-law, so she hugged her and coaxed her softly, sending her back to her grandmother's side.

Jiayin was helpless. The spark of innovation she had just ignited was extinguished.

Well, she might as well go back home and make a mess there. Even if her stepfather's house gets blown to pieces, nobody would care!

At noon, everyone had a simple bowl of water noodles and some stir-fried pork with green peppers. Everyone enjoyed it, young and old. Then, Niu Heng and Lin Er arrived and helped Xiaoyue put the ice bucket on the tricycle, then pushed it to the Academy.

Wenjuan let out a sigh of relief, tidied up, and helped her grandmother with needlework.

Old Mrs. Li liked her diligence and was afraid she would be overworked, so she drove her to play with Jia Yin.

Jiayin found an old sheepskin ball that her older brothers had discarded, and then she kicked it around with her sister-in-law and Xiao Huli.

Thus, in the small courtyard, a young little daughter-in-law, a chubby girl, and a little fox were chasing a ball, shouting and laughing, their laughter shaking the heavens.

Grandma He accompanied Old Lady Li. Shui Ling and Shui Yun were eager to try, and soon joined in as well.

The two girls practiced martial arts, their legs were agile. One helped Wenjuan and the other helped Jiayin, which really frustrated the little fox. It was so angry it chirped incessantly, hugging its wool ball tightly and refusing to let go, acting like a complete brat.

Now, Old Mrs. Li and Nanny He both smiled along with her.

By the time Lao Li, Lao Li Er, and Mr. Wen arrived in a rush, they heard so much commotion in the courtyard that they thought they had come to the wrong place.

Hearing the knock on the door, Shuiling ran to open it and quickly ushered them in.

Wen Juan wiped the sweat from her forehead, feeling quite embarrassed. She hurriedly bowed and quickly retreated to change her clothes.

Instead, Jia Yin smiled and greeted them happily. She was led by the two uncles directly to under the eaves of the corridor.

"What were you playing You're so hot, you'll need to take a sweat bath! " Li Zhensheng pulled his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his niece's forehead. Seeing her face as red as an apple, he felt happy again.

This child has been able to eat and sleep since he was young, raised plump and round. How can you not be happy looking at him

They were extremely anxious along the way, after all, despite their careful preparations, they almost allowed someone to take advantage of them, jeopardizing the children's future.

For so long, he and his second younger brother had never spoken. But in fact, they both harbored a knot of resentment in their hearts.

The second brother wanted to study but had no chance, pinning all his hopes on Jiren. His own path to success was cut short by the Wang family, and Li Ge'er became a continuation of his dream...

If these two children had an accident and could no longer study for the imperial examinations, he and his younger brother would be truly more miserable than death!

Fortunately, once again thanks to my niece's keen observation, the anomaly was discovered early on, exposing the truth.

The more he thought about it, the more his heart felt full. There was a mix of relief and gratitude.

"Funiu'er, Uncle thanks you. Without your protection, your brothers would have been caught in this scheme."

Jia Yin stood, held in her uncle's arms as he knelt before her. She could see the worry and gratitude in his eyes.

She reached out her small hand and gently patted her uncle's shoulder, like a little adult comforting him. "Uncle, don't worry, the bad guys are very stupid and won't hurt your brother!"

Li La Er also squatted down, rubbed his little niece's hair, and smiled: "Funiu wants what, tell Uncle Two, just stars and moon, Uncle Two will pick them back for you!"

"Funiu'er wants her brothers to become top scholars and officials! Li Gege said that after he becomes an official, he will find a skilled embroiderer to make clothes for Funiu'er so she won't have to learn needlework anymore!" Jiayin laughed, her big eyes curved into crescent moons. Her words made everyone laugh too.

Li Zhensheng immediately nodded, "Okay, Uncle will remember. If your brother forgets later, Uncle will chase him with his cane and make him keep his promise."

Li Lao'er also smiled and said, "Second Uncle will remember for you too!"

Wenjuan changed her clothes and quickly brought Shuiyun and Shuiling tea and snacks.

Perhaps worried that the elders were too hot, she personally made a few glasses of honey passion fruit drinks. The sweet and refreshing juice was praised by Li Zhensheng and others.o, he vaguely replied, "You've just returned to the palace and haven't yet established yourself in court. It's not wise to pressure the noble families too much for now. Just wait a little longer!"The...
