Chapter 254: Protecting Together

Mrs. Li was startled and quickly helped the old man, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

The village chief raised his hand to point at the group of people leaving, but he was still in awe and could only take a few deep breaths to calm down.

He turned around again and looked at Li Laosi, Liu Biaotou, and several villagers, and he swallowed his words again.

“I just think...these people look quite fierce and I thought they were bad people.”

Li Laosi, Liu Biaotou and others all laughed, "The village chief is right, we thought they were bad guys just now. But these people were brought here by Ye Shan, saying they are Mr. Ye's brothers."

Mrs. Li also smiled and agreed, comforting the village chief, "Yes, this noble man is very easy-going. He even ate a bowl of chicken noodle soup and said that Hongying's cooking skills are better than the imperial chef."

The old lady was proud of her daughter-in-law, but the village chief felt weak after hearing this, and made a random excuse to chase away the villagers, "You go and continue patrolling, I will discuss something with Lao Si and Liu Biaotou."

The villagers didn’t take it seriously and left laughing and gossiping.

For a time, only Mrs. Li, Li Laosi and Liu Biaotou were left in front of the door. The village chief quickly pulled them together and whispered.

"You...you don't know who the noble man was just now!"

He raised his hand and pointed hard at the black sky above his head.

Mrs. Li and the other three blinked a few times and didn't understand for a long time.

The village chief stamped his feet anxiously, "It's the one from the palace!"

Old Mrs. Li took a breath of air and her legs were a little weak.

Li Laosi and Liu Biaotou's expressions changed even more. They had had a fight with someone just now.

“It turns out they didn’t use all their strength just now. I thought we won the battle.” Liu Biaotou said in a low voice.

The focus of warriors is always so strange.

He didn't care about the person's identity. Instead, he cared about winning or losing, and that he had just been played!

Li Laosi took a deep breath, thought carefully about what was disrespectful, and said, "I didn't dare to look carefully last time in the court. I really didn't recognize it just now. However, I guess the nobleman came here today and didn't want to make it public. Let's Just pretend you don’t know him.”

Old Mrs. Li held on to the door frame and said, "You continue to work. Mr. Ye is fine here. I'll go in and take a look."

After saying that, she walked crookedly back to the courtyard. As soon as she entered the house, she saw her granddaughter carrying the jade pendant and laughing loudly. An idea flashed in her mind, and she understood it at that time.

“Fu Niu’er, you **** girl! Do you know? You know that noble man…”

Mrs. Li stepped forward and hugged her granddaughter. She was a little scared because she was afraid that her granddaughter would **** the jade pendant. She was not angry, but she couldn't help being proud. She was proud that her granddaughter was really smart and discovered the identity of the noble man earlier than they all.

Jiayin didn’t want to admit that she recognized the “golden thigh”, so she shamelessly cheated on him with a jade pendant.

She hugged her grandma’s neck with a smile and tried her best to act cute and good, “Nay, Fu Niu is thirsty, Fu Niu wants to drink water!”

The old lady lowered her head and nudged her with her forehead, but still got up to pour the water.

Jiayin obediently took a bowl of water and drank water. Mr. Ye motioned to Dongmei to guard the door and then said. “Have you guessed the identity of the guest just now?”

Mrs. Li waved her hand, "It wasn't me, it was the village chief who heard the noise, came over to take a look, and recognized the noble man."

Mr. Ye nodded and said with a smile, "Don't worry, aunt. Although my cousin has a noble status, he has had many twists and turns since childhood. I am the only relative of his mother's family. Over the years, I have always tried my best to assist him, so he Treat me very kindly.

“Now that I am recuperating here, he will not be angry even if the family is slighted to him. What’s more, he just had a big bowl of chicken noodle soup, so he is obviously happy.”

“That’s true,” the old lady couldn’t help but laugh, “He also said that Hongying’s cooking skills are better than those of the imperial chef!”

Mr. Ye lay on Xuan Ruan's pillow and said, "Don't worry about the jade pendant in Fu Niu's hand. It's just an ordinary jade pendant without a carved dragon, so it doesn't count as a token. In addition, I have something to discuss with my aunt." ”

"What's the matter? Tell me." Mrs. Li pulled the thin quilt and covered him, carefully avoiding the injury on her back.

Mr. Ye held Fu Niu's chubby little feet and said, "Auntie, I was seriously ill before and accidentally came to your house. I almost died. It was Fu Niu who saved me. At that time, I knew there was something magical about this child. I helped her cover up several times after that..."

Old Mrs. Li immediately remembered the silver coins her granddaughter had taken out a few days ago, "Did she ask you for silver?"

"No, it's Fu Niu who has some good stuff. It's not convenient for us to sell it at home, so I entrusted Dongmei to sell it and got a lot of money." When Mr. Ye said this, he saw Jiayin blinking at him crazily.

She wished that her whole little body followed suit and she almost plunged into the tea bowl in front of her.

Mr. Ye couldn't help but laugh and said, "I can't say how much it sold specifically, but don't worry, Auntie, Fu Niu is smart and won't cause trouble for the family."

Mrs. Li picked up her granddaughter. She wanted to hit her but was reluctant, so she could only slap her on the little buttocks.

Jiayin twisted her little body like a silkworm baby, swaying back and forth in grandma's arms. Finally, she coaxed the old lady to smile, and then quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The old lady tied her granddaughter's pigtails again and couldn't help but sigh again.

"Mr. Ye, you also know that our family is just an ordinary farmer with no ability. To tell you the truth, I can't help but worry about it when I go to bed. Good luck and bad luck are intertwined, and I'm afraid. I'm afraid that if something happens to this child, she won't be able to do anything. The loss of a hair will make our whole family miserable. If you have cherished our friendship for so long, you will definitely help us protect Fu Niu more in the future."

"Aunt, this is what it should be. Counting this time, Fu Niu has saved me twice. No matter what, I have to protect her. Just now, the noble lady came over, and I mentioned that I would accept Fu Niu as my adopted daughter. I don’t know what you think?”

Seeing the old lady's expression change, Mr. Ye quickly said, "Auntie, don't worry too much. My status is both noble and dangerous. No one can guarantee that it will remain the same for the rest of my life. After all, being with you is like a companion..."

He didn't say the last word, but the old lady understood it.

She didn't understand how things changed in the court, but she had heard it said in the play that the most ruthless emperor's family was the one.

She became worried and quickly advised, "Master Ye, don't say that. You are still young. In a few years, you will find an opportunity to resign and come back and live a peaceful life in the village."

Mr. Ye shook his head, with an inexplicable light in his eyes, "Auntie, I don't plan to marry and have children for the time being, at least until I regain half of the rivers and mountains in the north of the Yangtze River. Therefore, I accept Fu Niu as my adopted daughter. I will live for one day. , can protect her for one day.

"If I'm unlucky and die in battle, that noble man will feel guilty about me and put all his blessings on Fu Niu. With this, even if Fu Niu... is a little different, it won't matter. Someone would dare to say this or harm her. "

Mrs. Li's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she waved her hands repeatedly, "Mr. Ye, you can't do this. Fu Niu'er is still protected by us, so you need to be well and nothing will happen to you."
