ld finally rest for a while, they gathered around the bonfire, roasting their feet and chatting idly.Even on a spring night, the chill remained. As I spoke, a faint wisp of white breath lingered in th...It was Lao Li who, seeing her granddaughter holding a palm-sized note, had a bad look on her face and vaguely guessed, "Funiu'er, is something the matter"

Jia Yin stood up and said, "Grandma, come inside. It's not a good place to talk here."

Li Lao immediately stepped forward, took her granddaughter's hand, and entered the main hall.

Li Lao San, Zhao Yu Ru, Tao Hong Ying, and Wen Juan also followed.

Grandma He, Shui Ling, and Shui Yun were serving inside the house, while Ye Shan and Dong Mei guarded the door.

Xiaoyue finished washing the dishes and came out of the kitchen. She was about to go into the house when Dongmei pulled her away with an excuse.

Jia Yin took another wooden plaque and handed it to San Bo.

Li Laosan opened it in a few swipes, and sure enough, another piece of paper slipped out.

Now everyone felt something was wrong.

Jia Yin took two small pieces of paper and said, "Grandma, if these brothers bring these cards into the exam room, and the examiners find that there are notes or even an article hidden inside the cards, they will be considered cheating and kicked out of the exam."

Everyone's faces grew even worse. Zhao Yuru still held onto a sliver of hope and asked, "Funiu'er, did you see clearly Could it be that it was talisman paper..."

Li Laotai waved her hand and took a deep breath, saying: "Back then, when your eldest brother took the exam, I specially inquired about the rules.

"Once any writing is found on a student, it's considered cheating and they will be thrown out of the exam hall! After this... after this, they can never take another exam, they can never advance their studies, they can never become officials!"

Li Laosan immediately flew into a rage, standing up abruptly, "Mother, could this be someone trying to frame Jaren and Li Ge'er!"

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru were also panicked. Zhao Yuru said, "What should we do Should we ask our elder brother and second brother to come over"

Zhao Yuru slapped herself directly, regretting it deeply, "It's all my fault for being restless and buying these things for the child! What was I thinking"

Jia Yin felt sorry for San Bo's wife, so she quickly pulled her and her mother to sit down.

She whispered, "Auntie, please don't do this. Evil people will find many ways to harm your brother even without this amulet. There will be other things."

Seeing that her granddaughter showed no signs of panic, Old Li felt a glimmer of hope. She picked the girl up and held her close, asking, “Funiu, you discovered this, so tell me, what should we do”

Jia Yin waved at the door, and the little fox, playing by biting its own tail, ran over and jumped onto her lap.

Jia Yin said, "Grandma, it's the three dogs who are making a fuss and wanting to bite that peddler, but they are usually very well-behaved and never bite people! I was thinking maybe something about that peddler made the three dogs want to bite him, so I turned back to look at him more closely..."

“As a result, the peddler packed up his stall after selling all our goods. I asked Shui Ling to follow him. When Shui Ling returned, she said that the peddler had whispered something to a young boy outside the town before packing his belongings and moving out...”

"Moved out"

Li Laotai was surprised, Jia Yin nodded, "Yes, with luggage, hired a carriage and moved away."

"He must have done something wrong and ran away!" Li Lao San got up in a hurry, about to chase after him.

"Old Li stopped her son, “It's too late to chase after them now!”

After saying this, she called Shui Ling in and asked, “Shui Ling, if you see that young boy again, can you still recognize him”

"I can!" Shuiling patted her chest and assured, "Grandmother, let me go for a walk around the academy. I'm sure I can recognize that book boy. He has a black mole on his ear, it's big, I saw it clearly."

"That's good then." Lao Li nodded, reaching out to take out her pipe and smoke a couple puffs to calm her nerves and think about this matter. Who knew her hand came up empty, only to realize she had left her pipe at home.

Over the past six months, life at home has gotten better, and she hasn't had much to worry about, so she put down that smoking pipe.

Unexpectedly, I felt like smoking two puffs today. But when I couldn't find one, I became a little agitated...

Everyone thought she was capable of anything, and her family relied on her for everything, always asking her advice.

But only she herself knows that, many times, her heart is hanging in the balance, afraid that she might do something wrong and burden her children and grandchildren.

When you're in a family, the pressure is immense, feeling like you're walking on thin ice every day.

Just like this time, casually buying an amulet for the grandson almost got the grandchildren into trouble.

How venomous is the person who framed me from behind!

This is going to cut off the third generation of the Lee family's lineage!

Seeing Grandma's agitation, Jia Yin directly took Grandma's arm and comforted the old woman, "Grandma, my brothers are so lucky to have me, their clever sister. If I hadn't found that the wooden sign was problematic, my brothers would be in trouble!"

After finishing her words, she proudly raised her head and chest, saying smugly: “When my brothers pass the civil service exam, I'll have them buy two jin of niangao as a thank you gift!”

This remark was quite blunt, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Li Lao Tai even hugged her granddaughter and gave her forehead a big kiss, "Aiyo, our little Fu Niu er, you are the treasure of our old Li family! Your brothers must have burned high incense in their past lives to be blessed with a sister like you this lifetime!"

Li Laosan and the others were also scared afterward, nodding their heads one after another.

Zhao Yuru added, "Fu Niuer also saved San Bo's mother. Otherwise, San Bo's mother wouldn't have been able to live. When San Bo's mother is busy for these few days, I will make a new dress for you!"

Tao Hongying was also proud of her daughter being so smart and fortunate, but she was afraid the little girl would get cocky, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "Mother, will Shui Ling go to the academy to find someone tomorrow"

Li Laotai nodded and gently patted her granddaughter, saying: “Shuiling must go, but be careful not to be discovered. This time it was Funiu who was clever and found that the mark was strange. If we don't find the bad people behind it and let Jiarren and the others be on guard, I'm afraid there will be a second and third time!”

Everyone nodded, and Old Li said again, "Tomorrow morning, Jade Ru should still give this token to Jia Ren and Brother Li, and let them wear it. There are still four or five days before the exam, no one will expose it at this time."

"Let them fool the people behind them first. As long as they think our family hasn't noticed, we can handle this situation better!"

"Alright, we'll listen to mother." Li Laosan quickly agreed, he also felt sorry for his old mother, "When this matter has some progress, I'll invite my elder brother and them over to discuss it. Mother, just rest assured and don't worry about this. We've all started families and established ourselves, we're not children anymore. Jiaren is also a capable person, mother, don't worry."

Li Lao Tai listened with satisfaction and nodded in agreement.

Actually, how could she not worry, but her son is filial, and she is happy.

Because of this, everyone slept restlessly that night.

Jia Yin was delighted because she had foiled a plot against her brother. She hugged Xiao Hu, and they both slept soundly, drenched in sweat.

It's really hot for a little fox to have all that fur, especially in the summer! It must be too warm standing around her.

The next morning, Jia Yin had just woken up and was sitting under the eaves eating breakfast when Li Laosan and Shui Ling came back.

Shui Ling was brimming with excitement, while Li Lao San's expression held seven parts anger and three parts confusion.

Li Lao Tai put down her needlework and called them forward to speak.

Shuiling said directly, “Old Madam, Miss, I found the young servant! He came to the dining hall this morning for breakfast and I saw him. I followed him all the way to the schoolhouse.”

Here are three more chapters for you~don't let me go to war!"The Countess was so heartbroken that she almost fainted, but she gritted her teeth and comforted her son, “Don't be afraid, if it really doesn't work, I'll ask your father to p...
