Chapter 1192: The crucial moment has finally arrived!

nd sound, our family doesn't have any other wishes."Jia Yin listened with a smile, occasionally picking up a piece of pastry and munching on it, nodding happily from time to time. She was truly as wel...The sun rises and the moon sets, the waves are calm.

This morning's court session was, as usual, a flurry of petty squabbles. Civil and military officials alike scrambled to make a good impression on the Crown Prince.

In the Earl's mansion, Li Lao Tai was agitated and restless. She forced herself to do some needlework but ended up pricking her finger.

Jia Yin, seeing this, suggested, "Grandma, it's been a long time since we last visited Suijin Beach. Shall we go to the old house for a walk"

Li Lao Tai hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Will it be alright to leave the city at this time"

"What's so bad about it! Our legs are on our bodies, we can go wherever we want!" Jiayin laughed and supported her grandma's arm. "Besides, the grapes in my greenhouse should be ready to pick now. Let's pick some back."

"Alright then, let's take a stroll!" The old woman changed her clothes hurriedly and the two generations set off.

All the carriages and guards in the mansion were made up of retired wounded soldiers. Shui Ling and Shui Yun served them along the way, that was about it.

But considering the refugees outside the city, four more veteran soldiers were added to escort them on horseback.

Li Laoer brought his family's belongings and was busy arranging for the relief agency, only instructing them a few words before letting them go.

The carriage drove out of the city gate, and what met their eyes was a makeshift camp of refugees. It was so filthy and chaotic that it was unbearable to look at.

Compared with the clean and tidy state a few days ago, it's worlds apart.

It's not that the newly appointed Minister of Personnel isn't doing his best, it's just that there aren't enough people, and the supplies of food and provisions are inadequate. Even a skilled cook can't make a meal without rice!

The displaced people complained all day long and didn't dare to make trouble, but they could still cause a little bit of chaos with things like urinating or defecating.

And so, the once pristine campsite became this filthy mess.

Li Lao looked on with a sigh. After all, this was the place where her son and the villagers had worked hard together. It was a pity.

But Jia Yin didn't feel any better, people are always responsible for their own actions.

These refugees, sheltered and cared for by the Li family, yet secretly hoped that during her rain-calling ceremony, she would meet with an unfortunate end. Today's outcome is a consequence of their ill intentions.

Soon, the carriage arrived at Shating Beach.

Because all the men in Ercun are fighting at Jiangbei, even a small part who didn't go to war are at the dock military camp.

Therefore, Ercun's side is not on the list for southward retreat, and besides Xiao Cuier who is absolutely reliable, the rest of them do not know Li Jia's plans.

But the Li family would not abandon them. After entrusting Suijin Beach to the third princess, she would protect each household and ensure their continued peace and tranquility.

When the women of Ercun saw their masters returning from afar, they hurried forward to greet them and exchange a few pleasantries.

The carriage would soon reach the new village, and the old men weaving baskets at the entrance were overjoyed.

Li Laotai got out of the car and didn't go back to her old house. She sat with them and started talking.

Jia Yin greeted everyone and had Shui Yun bring up a box of snacks. Then, she took Shui Ling to the Princess's residence.

The grapes in the greenhouse were finally ripe, eight parts sweet and two parts sour, just right to eat.

Jia Yin went to fetch some water from the well and collected two baskets of it. She then went to the pharmacy and herb garden.

The prescription for the medicine has been put into the box given to the prince. Although the medicine produced here is not as effective as the one with spatial effects, it would definitely be among the best on the market.

After this, the yearly sale of medicinal herbs was estimated to bring in around four thousand taels of silver. This sum would be used to care for the wounded soldiers from this northern campaign, ensuring they lived comfortably for the rest of their lives.

Of course, the court would certainly have arrangements made.

But without the support and oversight of the Marquis, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War still don't know how to cut corners.

Even the final rations handed to soldiers might not be enough to fill their stomachs...

Since the Li family is leaving, and even taking the Marquis with them for good.

Then Jia Yin strived to do her utmost, to be perfect in every way, so that none of those who had devoted their hearts to the Li family and the marquis would be left destitute...

After walking around for a while, Jiayin returned to the old house and found that her grandmother had already arranged for dinner. A group of elders were ready to eat and drink.

The village head and Zhao Shu, among others, were also there, and they spoke louder than anyone else in a hushed voice.

Especially those who were preparing to stay in the village, they gathered around and eagerly listened and watched.

Thus, they felt a little more at ease.

The old woman didn't speak much. Seeing her granddaughter come back, she said, "These days, because of the household matters, the county princess has been exhausted. You don't have to worry, we will continue living our lives as before. Things will only get better, not worse!"

Hearing the master's vague hints about their future arrangements, everyone laughed with even more confidence.

After the meal, people slowly dispersed. The old woman and Jia Yin were about to return to the city.

Jiayin gave the village head a basket of grapes and instructed, “Village Head Grandpa, I've caused you a lot of trouble lately. If there are any sudden situations, prioritize the safety of everyone. Everything else is just material possessions.”

"Rest assured, my lady. I have everything under control!" The village head nodded, but before he could say more, dust billowed up at the crossroads as a warhorse galloped towards them.

The knight coming on horseback was clearly in a sorry state, covered in dust and grime, but his back was still straight!

Jia Yin subconsciously turned her head, the light in her eyes was frightening!

Mu Xu pulled at the reins with all his might, bringing the carriage to a halt. He almost stumbled as he leaped out and turned aside.

But that didn't stop him from leaning against his saddle, smirking, "Lady, do you want to roam the world with me"

Jia Yin's heart pounded like a drum, she didn't even dare to speak, afraid her heart would jump right out of her chest.

After years of preparation, the moment she had been looking forward to finally arrived!

All that remains is to see who comes out on top!

The old woman and the village head both realized something, and they came over.

Jia Yin took a deep breath and quickly pulled out two boxes and a letter from her handbag, handing them directly to Shui Ling.

"Go into the city to find Master Uncle, after reading the letter, he will know how to arrange things."

Shuiling immediately responded and without waiting to leave, Jiayin pushed Shuicun again.

"Let's go together to tether the horses. You return to Zhengjiazhuang and tell everyone to hurry to the dock before it gets dark. We must meet before midnight, or we'll leave without you."

"Yes, My Lady," Shuiyun quickly went with Shuiling to the old house to fetch their horses, and then both of them ran off without a trace.

Jia Yin then turned to the old woman, "Grandma, you stay here. After dark, we'll all go to the dock together."

Having said that, she instructed the village head again, "Village Head Grandpa, I'm leaving this place in your care."

"Rest assured, My Lady, even if I die, I won't make a mistake at such a crucial time!" The village head was so agitated his hands trembled as he turned and busied himself.

The entire Jin Tan must be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, allowing no entry or exit, until nightfall...

Jia Yin held her grandmother's hand. She wanted to say something, but the old woman was already crying and hugged her granddaughter tightly.

"Little Fu, Grandma knows...Grandma knows what you're going to do! Grandma is afraid, Grandma doesn't want you to be in danger, but Grandma knows you will go, there's no stopping you!"

"Grandma doesn't ask for anything else, only that you must be safe and sound. You are Grandma's life, if something happens to you, Grandma absolutely won't be able to live!"

"Remember Grandma's words, no matter what. It's for Grandma, you have to come back safe and sound, okay"

Jia Yin's nose felt sour, and she gently patted the old woman's back, comforting her, "Grandma, even if others don't know, you don't even know your granddaughter's abilities"

"My granddaughter will always be safe and sound, no one can harm her. If there's any bad news out there, don't worry, just wait for me to come back."

"Even I will bring back my stepfather and my father, our whole family together, safe and sound reunited!"

Today's updates are here~~hether it's a boy or a girl. Our Li family is prosperous, and all the children born will be boys!"Wan'er blushed, holding the chubby little boy who was kicking his legs excitedly. She was at a loss fo...
