Chapter 558 Father-in-law, Get Your Revenge!

toes, and grains are not suitable at all.All in all, to survive, everyone must work hard to clear the mountains! We have to plant our crops before farming season begins.Jia Yin stretched her neck and...Today in the court, the Ministry of Revenue was loudly complaining about having no silver. The Emperor was troubled, and most of the officials were just watching the commotion. It truly made him feel disheartened.

But similarly, there are people like Fatty in Tianwu.

Their sacrifice was not met with indifference by everyone, nor was it considered a matter of course!

He gently raised his hand and rubbed the little girl's hair, saying softly: "Funiu, you know, your godfather has always felt that you are a little fairy who came down from heaven!"

Jiayin was startled, then immediately covered her mouth. Her eyes darted back and forth as she cautiously approached her stepfather, lowering her voice to a whisper, "Stepfather, how did you know! This is a secret, you can't tell anyone!"

“Ho ho ho!” The Marquis burst into laughter, pinching the little girl’s armpit and twirling her around the courtyard. “Our Funiu is a fairy! There is no kinder or more intelligent child in the world than Funiu, everyone should know it!”

Next door, Tao Hongying had just come out of the kitchen. She was about to ask her daughter where she was going when she heard laughter from the Ye family's side. She didn't need to guess to know who it was.

"The Lord is back, and with someone backing up Funiu, she's going to be even lazier and more mischievous!" Tao Hongying was a bit deflated, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Although she is her own daughter, every time she tries to discipline her, a crowd of people jumps in to stop her.

Fortunately, my daughter has a lot of minor flaws but no major ones, otherwise I would have raised a spoiled brat.

Grandma He washed her hands and said, "Fourth Madam, the young lady is close to the Marquis. It's been a long time since the Marquis has returned; it's fine to play with him for a while."

"The old servant noticed, Miss, you seem to have lost weight recently. I wonder if it's because studying and learning your skills is too tiring."

"Have you lost weight I didn't notice!" Tao Hongying's newly established maternal authority was instantly shattered.

"Didn't you notice she was getting thinner and more tired every day I didn't even realize it!" She hurried to call Shuǐyún, "Quickly help me kill another chicken. I'll make a chicken soup and cook chicken noodle soup for Fúniúr at night. Then I'll boil some salted long beans in water, later fry some minced meat, Fúniúr loves this with noodles."

Having said that, she busied herself again, making Grandma He laugh non-stop.

The entire family, there was only this one contradictory complex figure, the fourth madam.

I'm constantly stuck between disciplining my daughter and feeling sorry for her. Every time I make a decision, it gets easily overturned...

Jia Yin bounced back from next door, sniffing the scent of chicken soup in the courtyard. She ran to her mother's arms and exclaimed, "Mommy is the best! How did you know Fu Niuer was craving chicken noodle soup"

Tao Hongying tapped her daughter's forehead and said reproachfully, "You came out of my belly, what can you hide from me I know you want to poop just by looking at your little tail!"

Jia Yin's eyes curved into crescents as she giggled, bringing her little butt to her mother's side. "Mama, look! How many poop eggs can I pull out"

Tao Hongying was both angry and amused. She slapped him on the head and started chasing him away, "Don't mess around here, get to writing your characters! Today the house is lively, and you're lazy again!"

Jia Yin smiled ingratiatingly, trying to snuggle closer into her mother's arms and whispered, "Mother, tomorrow I will go into the city with my stepfather."

Tao Hongying's eyes widened. Before she could say anything, her daughter’s chubby hand covered her mouth. She quickly added, “My godfather asked me to help with the accounts. He wants to give silver to the soldiers who died in battle. Apparently, some high officials in court don’t want to give the money, and my godfather is furious!”

Tao Hongying immediately grasped her daughter's little hand, angrily saying: "What are you talking about What do you mean the court doesn't give silver Those people died protecting the court and Tianwu. They don't even give them a condolence payment!"

Jia Yin sighed in her heart and gently patted her mother's arm, comforting her: "Mother, don't worry, everything will be fine with my godfather."

"My godfather originally said that all the silver earned from those shops in Hou Mansion would be given to me. Now my godfather wants to take them out to make a pension and asks me to help calculate the accounts. I guess my godfather is thinking of returning it to me later..."

"Funiuer, we absolutely can't do that! Mother knows you like silver, but mother has plenty here. Your godfather can just take what he needs from his share, you understand" Tao Hongying was afraid her daughter wouldn't be sensible and even went to hold her daughter and take her money box from the room.

Jia Yin immediately hugged her mother's leg, "Mother, I know, I wouldn't want my stepfather's money. I know my stepfather is doing good things!"

Tao Hongying let out a sigh of relief, "This is much better, this is what a good daughter should be like."

She patted her best friend's back and said, "Come on, I'll pack your things. Just in case we get busy late, you can stay at the Hou Mansion tonight and come back tomorrow. Don't worry, helping your stepfather is a big deal!"

"Good!" Jia Yin giggled and followed her mother into the house.

In the next courtyard, Dongmei and Yechan knelt before the Marquis, carefully recounting the incident of the County Princess entering the palace.

Although they weren't with the county princess at the time, the Marquis's Mansion had some people in the palace. This wasn't a closely guarded secret, so it was naturally easy to find out.

After that, both Ye Shan and Dong Mei bowed their heads in apology. Ye Shan said, “My lord, please forgive us. We did not look after the young mistress well…”

The Marquis frowned and raised his hand to signal them to stand. "This isn't your fault. It's all because this Marquis previously didn't bother to compete with certain people, allowing their ambitions to grow unchecked!"

"The first time they dared to think such thoughts, they should have had their limbs severed! Only by instilling fear in them would they dare not treat my daughter with disrespect, trembling even at the mention of the Hou Mansion..."

Yejia and Dongmei lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

The Marquis's long fingers tapped on the table, one after another, before he finally gave two orders.

Ye Shan and Dong Mei immediately responded, hurriedly going out to make arrangements...

The second day was a fine day with bright sunshine.

Yesterday, the village head and Li Lao'er along with others found a suitable location and decided to build the young people's homes near the archway.

Today, the villagers took advantage of the fact that there was no work in the fields or orchards and began to move stones and timber.

The women in the village helped deliver cool tea and did whatever little chores they could.

And Li Laoer and the village head moved their position again, going to inspect the new road.

They are going to build a small road, four or five li long, connecting Xiaowang Zhuang to the hot springs valley.

This way, we bypassed the new village, ensuring its safety.

Jia Yin changed into a pretty new dress, brought some fruits, and happily walked into the city hand-in-hand with her adoptive father.

The steward was so eager he felt his neck stretching. He had the kitchen staff prepare a variety of snacks and treats for early morning.

Finally, seeing the Lord and Lady arrive at the gate of the mansion, a smile lit up his face.

All the servants in the mansion also stepped forward to pay their respects, as if welcoming them along the way.

The Lord instructed the steward with a few words, then patted Jia Yin's shoulder and said: "You check the accounts here. If anyone doesn't obey orders, just beat them up. Your godfather is going to the palace, so go out there and make him proud!"

Jia Yin smiled and nodded, waving her small hand confidently, "We'll split up and meet for lunch!"

The Lord smiled and, patting the little girl's hair, turned and walked away.

Here are three more chapters for you.orward a few steps, his face grim, and interrupted the flirtation between Hua Ru Yue and the male guests in the mountain valley.He said loudly, "Our valley doesn't just have male guests, but also fema...
