i Laosi saw his daughter's eyes sparkling, even happier, he shoved the dagger into her hands, "This is a war trophy I snatched from the barbarians, it's your birthday present, alright""Good, good! Tha..."Is that so" Old Lady Li hastily put down the sapphire satin and went to inspect the rest of the fabrics.

Jia Yin brought in a plate of jerky, smiling as she put a piece in both Grandma and Mrs. Wen's mouths.

"Grandma, auntie, how does it taste"

"My mother and my third aunt are still making it, there are already five or six catties. Tomorrow we'll have second uncle and the others bring it into town and send it to Brother Jiaying."

"This butcher shop is so crowded, with so many good brothers inside eating. It's inconvenient to eat properly, just chew on a couple of pieces and you can hold yourself over for a while."

Old Mrs. Li let out a cold snort, "He's doing us a favor by going to jail, after all. We even have to prepare extra food for him."

That being said, she added, “Make more of it spicy, for Yi’s sake.”

Mrs. Wen and Jia Yin couldn't help but laugh when they heard it.

Just then, Zhao Yuru came in from outside and said with a smile: “Mother, don’t worry, most of them are spicy, only half of them are sweet.”

Such a big event happened at home, of course I had to send a message to Loanna.

Li Laosan and Zhao Yuru returned last night.

Li Laosan took over the household and village affairs, allowing his two older brothers to work in peace in the city.

Zhao Yuru stayed at home to take care of the elderly and children, helping Tao Hongying.

Li Laotai pulled Zhao Yuru to sit down, and then called Jia Yin, "Go call your mother in here to rest for a while, she's been busy all morning."

Jia Yin responded and was about to leave when a young maid rushed in, "Mistress, the Second Village has sent word that a young lady has arrived with someone to visit the County Princess, but she refused to disclose her name, only saying that she is the third daughter."

Everyone was puzzled, but Jia Yin's mind was quick. She immediately guessed the visitor's identity and said, "Let Ercun let the person in. We must not neglect the etiquette!"

"Yes, My Lady," the maid scurried back.

Then Old Madam Li asked, "Funiu'er, who has come"

Jia Yin replied, “Grandma, it should be the Third Princess from the palace.”

Third Princess

Everyone was startled.

Zhao Yuru frowned and asked, "What's the Third Princess doing here at this time Is she here to accuse us"

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wen also looked displeased.

I can't imagine anything good coming from the Third Princess visiting.

Jia Yin smiled and comforted, "Grandma, don't worry.

"This is our home, no matter what her purpose is, she wouldn't dare to bully us here."

Li Laotai and the others nodded, slightly relaxing their brows.

Soon, the Third Princess brought in two grandmothers to Li's courtyard.

Perhaps she didn't want outsiders to know, but the third princess was dressed very plainly, even wearing a large cloak that covered her head and face.

The Li family, seeing her like this, treated her as an ordinary guest. They performed simple courtesies and served tea and refreshments.

The third princess didn't get angry, instead she smiled warmly.

This couldn't help but make Jiayin sigh softly.

It wasn't just her who grew up. The third princess also shed the arrogance and domineering attitude of her childhood, finally displaying a touch of sophistication.

Lady Li was the eldest, and as the highest-ranking member of the Li family, she accompanied the princess in polite conversation at this time.

What a cold winter day! So many people in Xindu are buying New Year's goods... What kind of sweets does the princess like The sweets made at home are so carefully crafted...

Princess Three patiently responded to a few sentences, but finally couldn't hold on any longer. She turned to Jia Yin and said, "Jia Yin sister, can we speak alone for a few words"

Jia Yin shuddered involuntarily at the intimacy in her voice, and said, "Very well, Princess. Come sit with me in my room for a while!"

Having said that, she was about to lead the Third Princess to the backyard.

Li Laotai and Zhao Yuru and others were worried and stood up, wanting to stop her, but seeing Jia Yin wave her hand, they could only stay.

Perhaps to express that she meant no harm, the Third Princess also left the two maids in the front yard.

Jia Yin led the Third Princess all the way to the backyard and into her own quarters.

For the past few days, Jiayin has been staying here to accompany her grandmother.

Therefore, on the kang where she usually lived, there were still travelogues she often read, boxes filled with snacks, and even a plate of golden-red oranges.

Two pots of tea blossoms were in full bloom on the shelf above the window, releasing a faint fragrance.

The kang was burning hot, covered with a brand new mat.

Two thick cotton cushions were placed beside the kang table, embroidered with chubby and amusing polar bears. Two plush cats leaned against each other nearby...

The third princess looked around carefully, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.

Her sleeping quarters were much larger and more opulent than this room, but they lacked the warmth and comfort of this place.

Jia Yin gestured for her to sit down and peeled an orange for her, but she didn't say a word.

The third princess took the orange, hesitated for a long time, and still said with a stiff face: "Sister Jia Yin, I came today... hoping you could do me a favor."

Jia Yin feigned ignorance, "Your Highness is jesting. I'm just a simple country girl."

"You are the beloved daughter of heaven, a princess of noble birth. I am but a humble nobody, afraid I cannot be of any assistance to you."

The third princess was in a hurry, and quickly said: "No, you must be able to help. Father loves you more than me. If you go to plead for me, Father will definitely let me off..."

She was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly met Jia Yin's icy gaze and couldn't bring herself to continue.

"Jia Yin put down her teacup and asked, "Why is the princess silent Is it because even the princess knows how difficult a favor this is for me to grant"

The third princess pursed her lips and said through gritted teeth, "I know my mother and her family have upset yours, but they were only acting impulsively."

And, you... you weren't hurt. Can't you be magnanimous and forgive them

"Hmph!" Jia Yin sneered angrily, nearly throwing her teacup. She retorted, "Princess, since you say so, you must know what your mother and the Wu family have done, right"

"After reading for so many years, wouldn't a princess understand the meaning of 'two'

"

"Put yourself in their shoes, would you forgive them if they did that to you"

The Third Princess, for her mother's sake, rarely lowered her head. Being pressed at this moment, she flared up and said in a loud voice, "Why shouldn't he forgive"

"My mother and the Wu family were just trying to scare you! You're still alive, aren't you Your family has already killed my cousin, why do you need to go all out and kill us all"

"Just let you go before my father and say a few words, it's over. Is that so hard! "

"I promise that from now on, my mother, father and my grandparents' family will no longer bully you or cause trouble for your family. Is that alright"

"No way!" Jiayin was also annoyed and slammed her fist on the table, "They want to kill me, why should I plead for them "

They deserve whatever they get. They brought this upon themselves by doing bad things. This is what happens when you do evil!

And I thought that as a princess, she would have grown up and become more intelligent, but it seems she's still just as foolish.

"Are you really the Emperor's daughter How come you haven't inherited even a bit of your father's wisdom"

"You!" The Third Princess was scolded, her face turned ashen. She stood up, ready to retort.

At this moment, the door was suddenly kicked open, and Li Laotai led Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru into the room.

Upon seeing what Old Madam Li held in her hands, Jia Yin gasped, while the Third Princess fainted right on the spot.rting her sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, we are family, no need to be so polite. This is a big business for you and your third brother, we all come to help. In the future, if my husband and I want to...
