Li Laosan had obviously been holding back all the way, and now he complained angrily, "Mother, what's wrong with this world? Have people's hearts all rotted away?"

"Whenever Jiaren's classmates ate in the cafeteria, we would always give them extra food, hoping they would get along well with him. Now, instead of being grateful, these people are even scheming against Jiaren!"

Confused, Old Lady Li quickly pulled her son down to sit, fanning him with a large palm-leaf fan to calm his temper, and asked, "Tell me slowly, what is this nonsense? Did you find out that the pageboy's master and Jiaren are in the same school?"

"Yes." Li Laosan was a little discouraged. "It's about the two students from Jiaren Academy. I don't know how to tell Jiaren... These kids usually get along well with their classmates. Suddenly this happened, and I don't know how heartbroken they are."

Jiayin asked Lige a few questions yesterday, and her guess was pretty much the same as this result.

Because the family had no enemies with anyone at the academy, the teachers even felt a bit closer to the Li family and were hoping that they would send some fine flowers to the academy.

Students eat all three meals a day in the cafeteria, where the food is delicious, inexpensive, and offers fresh drinks and other fresh options.

Naturally, no one wanted to be enemies with the Li family or find them displeasing.

Therefore, there are only two possibilities.

One of them came from Jiaren's side, and he may have offended his classmates without realizing it, which made him the target of jealousy.

Another enemy of the Li family was someone who had infiltrated the academy and bribed students to sabotage it.

But whichever one it is, it's full of malice!

Grandma Li sighed, "Let's ask your eldest and second brothers to come over and discuss what to do. We'll definitely have to talk to Jiaren about it too. Let's do it after school at the academy."

"Alright, Mother, I'll go make the arrangements." Li Laosan got up, preparing to go into the city to deliver the message.

At this moment, Ye Shan came out and said, "Third Master, leave this matter to me. You still have to take care of the work in the canteen. I happen to have nothing to do."

"Furthermore, I'd like to ask the names of the students who caused this trouble, and while I'm at it, investigate their backgrounds. Perhaps that will reveal why they framed the young master..."

Li Laosan and Li Laotai were naturally delighted and immediately agreed.

Ye Shan and his wife were the people that the Marquis left for Jia Yin. They usually kept a low profile and didn't make a fuss.

Even the head steward of the Marquis's mansion was very polite to the couple and dared not be negligent in the slightest.

When the Marquis first met the Li family, he was seriously ill and away from home, and only this couple took care of him.

This is the most trusted confidant of all!

On the surface, the head steward is in charge of managing the Hou Mansion, but in reality, many of the manpower and tasks are handled by Ye Shan and his wife.

This time, investigating the students' backgrounds might take some effort from the Li family, but for Ye Shan, it's as easy as eating and drinking.

Soon, Ye Shan set off into the city, and Li Laosan returned to the canteen.

Grandma Li breathed a sigh of relief, though her mind was a little agitated. But she patiently continued to do needlework for her grandchildren.

Firstly, keeping her busy will prevent her from overthinking.

Secondly, we need to get the shorts and vests out before tonight so the grandchildren can sleep more comfortably...

Jiayin couldn't stay still. She led the three dogs to play in the yard for a while, and then went to the empty room to help Sister Wenjuan make ice.

I remember when I was a child, those peddlers who went from village to village on bicycles, carrying foam bags to sell popsicles and ice blocks.

She suddenly felt a craving, so she rolled up her sleeves and joined in, wanting to try freezing a few popsicles.

As a result, Wenjuan was afraid of hurting her precious sister-in-law, so she hugged her, coaxed her gently, and sent her directly back to her grandmother's side.

Jia Yin was helpless; the spark of innovative passion that had just ignited was extinguished.

Sigh, she should just go home and cause trouble. In her godfather's yard, even if the house is blown up, no one will care!

At noon, everyone had a simple meal of cold noodles and some green pepper and shredded pork sauce. After a few bites, Niu Heng and Lin Er arrived and helped Xiao Yue put the ice bucket on the wheelbarrow, which they then pushed to the academy.

Wenjuan breathed a sigh of relief, tidied herself up, and then helped her grandmother with needlework.

Grandma Li liked her diligence, but was also afraid that she would overwork herself, so she sent her away to play with Jiayin instead.

Jiayin found an old sheepskin ball that her brothers had discarded, and then she, her sister-in-law, and the little fox started kicking it together.

So in the small courtyard, a young married woman, a chubby girl, and a little fox chased after a ball, shouting and laughing loudly.

Granny He accompanied Old Lady Li, while Shui Ling and Shui Yun, eager to try, soon joined in as well.

These two girls were skilled in martial arts and were very agile. One helped Wenjuan, and the other helped Jiayin, which made the little fox very anxious. It squeaked angrily, hugged the sheepskin ball tightly, and refused to let go, looking like it was going to be a stubborn fool.

Now, both Old Lady Li and Granny He laughed.

When Li Laoda, Li Laoer, and Mr. Wen rushed over, they heard the commotion in the courtyard and thought they had come to the wrong place.

Hearing the knock, Shui Ling ran to open the door and quickly welcomed them inside.

Wenjuan wiped the sweat from her forehead, feeling very embarrassed. She hurriedly bowed and quickly went to change her clothes.

Jiayin, on the other hand, greeted them with a smile and was led by two uncles directly to the eaves.

"What did you play? You're so hot! Are you going to take a bath with your sweat?!" Li Zhensheng pulled up his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his little niece's face. Seeing her cheeks as red as apples, he felt happy.

This child has been able to eat and sleep well since he was little, and he's grown up round and chubby, looking adorable no matter how you look at him.

They were extremely anxious on the way, because despite their best efforts, they almost let someone take advantage of them and ruin their children's future.

For so long, he and his second brother never talked about it, but they both had a knot in their hearts.

The second brother wanted to study but had no opportunity, so he pinned all his hopes on Jiaren. However, his promising future was ruined by the Wang family, and Lige became the continuation of his dream...

If something were to happen to these two children and they were unable to continue their studies and take the imperial examinations, he and his younger brother would feel worse than death!

Fortunately, once again thanks to my niece, she discovered the suspicious matter early on and exposed it.

The more he thought about it, the more his heart felt full, filled with relief and gratitude.

"Fu Niu'er, thank you so much. Without your protection, your brothers probably wouldn't have been able to escape this scheme."

Jiayin stood, embraced by her squatting uncle, and could see the worry and gratitude in his eyes.

She reached out her little hand and gently patted her uncle's shoulder, coaxing him like a little adult, "Uncle, don't worry, bad people are stupid and can't hurt my brother!"

Li Lao Er squatted down, ruffled his little niece's hair, and said with a smile, "Fu Niu'er, if you want anything, just tell your second uncle. Even if it's the stars and the moon, your second uncle will bring them back for you!"

"Fu Niu'er wants her brothers to pass the imperial examinations and become high-ranking officials! Brother Li said that after he becomes an official, he will find an embroiderer to make clothes for Fu Niu'er, so she won't have to learn needlework anymore!" Jia Yin smiled, her big eyes curving into crescents, and her words made everyone laugh.

Li Zhensheng quickly nodded, "Okay, your uncle will remember this for you. If your brother forgets in the future, your uncle will chase after him with his cane and beat him until he fulfills his promise."

Li Lao Er also laughed and said, "Your second uncle will remember this for you too!"

Wenjuan changed her clothes and came out, quickly bringing Shuiyun and Shuiling tea and snacks.

Perhaps worried that the elders were too hot, she also made several cups of honey passion fruit drinks by herself. The sweet and refreshing juice was praised by Li Zhensheng and the others.
