C512 Reward

Li Qingling did not expect Mr. Luo to be so fast. Four hours after he entered the palace, the imperial edict arrived at the Liu Family.

Even if Li Qingling knew that he was going to the palace to seek rewards for her, he was still a little confused when he heard the imperial edict from his father-in-law.

County lord?

The Emperor bestowed her with the title of County Lord?

This … Wouldn't this reward be a little too big?

After the eunuch left, Zhang Yuner was sincerely happy for Li Qingling. With the title of County Lord, who would dare to bully a girl like Li Qingling in the countryside?

"I never thought that our family would have another County Lord. Congratulations to Xiao Ling." Jiang Yingying's face carried a smile, and looked at Li Qingling: I already said that Xiao Ling is a capable man, look, to follow He Mo in taking over, and even did so many things for the people, I truly admire you.

He wondered if she was the one who did all that.

How could a country girl like her understand so much?

Believe it or not, she didn't believe it.

Li Qingling pretended not to hear the hidden meaning in Jiang Yingying's words. With a fitting smile, he thanked Aunt for his praise.

"..."

Jiang Yingying's smile disappeared, she glanced at Li Qingling, waved her sleeves, and said that she was not being polite.

With that, he led the maidservants away.

Li Qingling laughed again, not putting her attitude to heart.

"Congratulations to Xiao Ling for being promoted to County Lord." Zhong Qing also had a smile on her face, as if she was truly happy for Li Qingling, "Xiao Ling, are you guys planning to move out?"

Why did the Emperor bestow a mansion upon Li Qingling after bestowing him the title of County Lord?

Furthermore, she felt that it was very strange, why did the emperor suddenly bestow Li Qingling the title of County Lord?

If she didn't seal it earlier or later, she would inevitably think a bit more about it when she had to seal it at this time.

"I don't know. I'll listen to my husband."

In the Liu Family, she loved whoever she was most wary of.

They only kept their pride hidden. In private, they were very clear that the Second and Fourth Branch were not on the same side.

If Old Man Liu had not been in charge, they would not have been able to maintain their dignity.

When Old Man Liu removed the position of Patriarch, he wondered what would happen to the Liu Family.

However, it was certain that the relationship between the second and fourth houses would be even worse.

It wasn't strange for him to lose face.

Old Man Liu watched his father-in-law walk off into the distance, then turned to look at Li Qingling and told her to follow him to the study room.

Li Qingling nodded, and obediently followed Old Man Liu.

The two of them sat in the study in silence.

Raising the teacup, he slowly took two sips of the tea. Li Qingling raised his eyes and looked at Old Man Liu, smiling as he asked what he wanted.

Old Man Liu let out a heavy sigh and asked Li Qingling, was the decree requested by Luo Laotou?

Other than Luo Laotou, he didn't think so.

Li Qingling nodded his head, "I was worried that the children would get into trouble again, so I strongly advised us to move out. I was worried that if we moved out for no reason, it would affect the Liu Family. It was supposed to be like this, and there was nothing much to hide. "Grandfather, don't blame Master. He was just thinking for our sake."

Although the two old men quarreled when they saw each other, their faces had never turned red. She did not wish for this matter to cause any unhappiness for the two old men.

Furthermore, he had wholeheartedly planned for them.

Old Man Liu let out another heavy sigh, saying that he wouldn't blame Luo Laotou.

Luo Laotou was thinking for the children, how could he blame him?

As a great-grandfather, he didn't protect them well. Just a little bit more than Steamed Bun …

Thinking about the pain that Steamed Bun had suffered, Old Man Liu felt even more guilt.

"If you want to move out, then move out!" What would happen if he stayed at home?

Since that was the case, he might as well let them live outside.

Li Qingling raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Old Man Liu in disbelief, "Grandfather, you really agree to let us go live outside?" She thought Old Man Liu would object, but …

After laughing bitterly, Old Man Liu said, he was also afraid that his children would get into trouble again.

Good luck once or twice, no one could say for sure the third time.

He didn't dare to bet the children!

Li Qingling was a little touched in his heart. He smiled as he thanked Old Man Liu for his understanding.

"Just treat me as your grandfather, don't be so formal."

"Yes, grandfather."

Seeing Li Qingling's mischievous side, Old Man Liu could not help but laugh. He asked them when they were planning to move.

Li Qingling shook his head and said. There was still not enough time, they would go and look at the old mansion in two days.

Old Man Liu acknowledged his words, exhorted his for a while before letting her go.

Not long after he returned to his room, Liu Ye came in to report that Zhong Furen had arrived.

Zhong Furen?

"Hurry up and invite him in..."

Zhong Furen smiled as she entered, bringing along many things for the children to play with.

Li Qingling waved his hand slightly, asking her to come over and thank him.

Xiaoxiao curiously looked at Zhong Furen, and said in a childish voice, "Thank you."

Seeing such an exquisite and cute little thing, Zhong Furen was extremely happy in her heart. She reached out to hug Xiaoxiao and asked whether she liked it or not.

"I like it..."

"It's good that you like it. I'll bring some for you to play with next time, okay?"

Xiaoxiao shook her head, refusing in all seriousness. "No need, just play with me, I can't let you waste the silver." There were so many things that she couldn't play with them. It was a waste.

"Oh my, how could I save money for Aunt Yi?" Zhong Furen gently pinched her small cheeks as he grew even more fond of Xiaoxiao in his heart, "These little things came from Aunt Yi's shop. They don't need to spend silver, you can buy as much as you want."

She didn't have children of her own, but Li Qingling's three children were very close to her.

After the full moon wine returned home, he would still occasionally think of them. This was because today, Baba had come to visit.

She looked a little troubled as Li Qingling smiled at her, but did not say a word and allowed her to make her own decision.

She scratched her cheeks and thanked Mrs. Zhang.

In his heart, he decided to return to his room later and choose something that he liked to give Zhong Furen.

It's good to have something to come and go, but you can't just take other people's things for free.

"There's no need to be so courteous to Aunt Yi." Zhong Furen gave her a kiss and then placed her on the ground, "Go and play, Aunt Yi is going to talk to your mother."

Xiaoxiao nodded her head and ran out like a wisp of smoke.

"Zhong Furen, drink this tea." Li Qingling pushed a cup of tea to bring it to her, "Try out this Jadeite Spring tea, see how it tastes?"

Zhong Furen picked up his teacup, tasted it, and nodded her head, "Mrs Liu, don't call me Zhong Furen, too. My name is An Yi, call me Ah Yi!" She felt that being on good terms with Li Qingling at first sight made her like her.

Li Qingling did not refuse, "Alright, then I will call you Ah Yi, you can call me Xiao Ling." With such a intimate way of addressing each other, the two of them were planning on interacting more deeply.

Seeing Li Qingling nod his head openly, Zhong Furen became even happier, "Today's shop has gained a new batch of stuff, I think it's not bad, it's suitable for children to play, so I wanted to gift some to Third Sister-in-Law. I didn't expect to coincidentally meet with such good news, congratulations, County Lord." She really wanted to interact with Li Qingling, not get involved with all that mess.

She looked up and rolled her eyes at Zhong Furen. Li Qingling told her not to laugh at him, but she was also a little confused.

If others revealed an expression like Li Qingling's, Zhong Furen would think that they were lying. If it was Li Qingling's face, she believed that she really did not know.

Although she hadn't known Li Qingling for long, she knew that Li Qingling was a emotional person and not a hypocritical villain. Otherwise, she wouldn't have treated him as an old friend at first sight.

She patted on the back of Li Qingling's hand lightly, "The things you did for the citizens in Ninghua County, have long been spread throughout the capital. The Emperor bestowed you the title of County Lord, you deserve it. If it was someone else who had been conferred the title of the county governor, they would have long been overjoyed. However, it was impossible for them to be as worried as the person before them.

It was as if her identity as the county lord did not bring her glory, but rather a shackle.

It was obvious that she didn't want to be bound.

"Now, this is the only way." If she had known Mr. Luo's plan from the beginning, she would have never agreed to it.

Zhong Furen smiled and comforted her a little more, then changed the topic and asked her, "Where are the dumplings and buns?"

Li Qingling knew that she was here for the dumplings, hence he smiled and said that he was still sleeping.

As soon as she finished, Liu Ye came over and said, "Young masters are done."

Hearing that, Li Qingling stood up and quickly walked into the room.

When she saw Steamed Bun who was about to cry, she quickly hugged him, "Mother is here, she's here." This little Weeper was so pampered that she would cry if she didn't see her.

She sat down to feed the bun.

Zhong Furen also followed them in. Seeing Li Qingling's actions, she was surprised and asked how she was going to feed him. Didn't you invite a wet nurse?

Touching Steamed Bun's cheek, Li Qingling raised his head and looked at her. He smiled bitterly and said, "I invited two, why didn't you invite …" Saying that, he sighed, "A wet nurse let Steamed Bun drink milk containing rice flower in order to make Steamed Bun depend on her … … "After what happened, I was afraid. I might as well feed it to myself. If there's not enough milk, I'll feed it to the sheep."

"How preposterous! Such a person's death is not worthy of regret." Zhong Furen's face was filled with anger, "Girl, you can't be soft-hearted towards people like this, do what you can, and don't let Steamed Bun Bai suffer."

How venomous is the heart of a man who has done something to a child.

Li Qingling patted her hands, telling her not to be angry, they had already settled the matter.

Zhong Furen did not ask anymore, this kind of matter was related to the house, it was not suitable for her to ask.

When Li Qingling finished feeding the bun, she reached out and hugged him, "Look at our bun, it's thinner, a bit thinner …" She caressed Steamed Bun's face, pained, "Such a pitiful sight to behold. I really should have let those black-hearted people live in the eighteen levels of hell."

Li Qingling carried the dumpling in one hand and fed him the goat's milk in the other. Seeing Zhong Furen's angry look, she couldn't help but laugh.

If he had a child, he would pamper the child to the heavens.
