"Grandma, you're back. Please sit down. Have you eaten yet?"
Li Qinghe stepped forward to support Nanny Chen. Nanny Chen looked at her and sighed, "You've become like this, why are you still thinking about me?"
"Were you bullied in the Marquis' Mansion or outside?" After Nanny Chen sat down, she took the cup of water handed to her by Li Qinghe, took a sip, and then spoke again.
Li Qinghe told Nanny Chen what had happened before, but Nanny Chen said nothing after listening.
Li Maocai glanced at Nanny Chen, wondering what she was thinking.
Nanny Chen spoke up: "The Zhou family does have the capital to be arrogant. The Zhou family has a daughter in the palace who is quite favored and holds the position of concubine. She can indeed be called a royal relative."
"We can only swallow this loss. Not to mention that your grandmother is just a servant, even the Marquis' Mansion would not dare to touch the Zhou family."
Li Qinghe smiled, pulled her cheek, and grimaced in pain.
"Grandma, He'er never thought of asking you to stand up for He'er. It's all in the past. There's a saying that goes, 'A man who knows the times is a hero.'"
Nanny Chen smiled with relief: "It's great that you think this way."
Li Qinghe handed her a pair of chopsticks. Nanny Chen waved her hand and said, "You guys eat. I still have to go to the old lady's courtyard to wait for instructions."
"good."
The two siblings saw Nanny Chen off, had their meal, washed up, and went to bed to rest.
The next afternoon, Li Yunyan suddenly called Li Qinghe over and asked her to set off immediately without any delay.
Li Qinghe was very puzzled, but did not dare to say much.
Back in the courtyard, she handed the gold earrings she had bought this morning to Nanny Chen: "Grandma, tomorrow is the day my cousin will be a concubine. Please give these to my cousin on behalf of He'er."
"Okay, the Marquis came back today and threw a tantrum, so the Marquis's wife changed her mind."
Li Qinghe didn't ask, but just glanced at Nanny Chen and said, "Grandma, my brother and I are leaving Beijing this time, and I don't know when we'll be able to come see you again."
"If there is a chance, He'er will definitely let you and your grandfather leave the Marquis' Mansion and live with us in Qingquan Town."
"That's thoughtful. We have lived in the Li family for most of our lives, and then followed the lady to the Marquis' Mansion. Later, my grandmother was good at cooking, so she was arranged to serve in the old lady's room."
"But my grandmother is a servant of the Li family. How could the old lady use me? We have lived enough in this life and have become more open-minded."
Li Qinghe didn't say anything else. She packed up her things and went to the gate. There was a horse-drawn carriage parked in front of the gate.
Two men in black and tight-fitting clothes were standing there. Li Qinghe knew that they were the masters arranged by Madam Hou to accompany them to Qingquan Town.
"Let's go!" one of the men said coldly.
Li Qinghe said nothing and tried to push Li Maocai, but another man directly picked up Li Maocai and put him in the carriage.
"Thank you." Li Qinghe was shocked, but still said thank you.
Then he got on the carriage.
A few days later, Li Qinghe and his sister returned to Wen County.
One of the men went to the county government office and brought out the slovenly manager Li that same day.
Bai Lian was left in prison. When Manager Li saw his children, he couldn't help crying.
"He'er, Maocai, it's all because of Daddy's inability to help you. You even ran all the way to the capital to beg Madam to save me. I'm such a piece of shit."
"Bai Lian was the one who instigated this matter. Now that she is willing to admit it and let Dad out, our family can finally be reunited."
"Did you see your mother in the capital?"
Li Qinghe's expression was not very good, but she was also somewhat moved: "Mother didn't return to the capital."
"Then Dad, you won't care about Bai Lian anymore?" Li Qinghe asked again.
Shopkeeper Li said with a sullen face, "That bitch was ill and had a fever, and she admitted that the baby in her belly was not mine."
"She also bought the poison and found the man. I only gave her the money, and she asked me to give it to her. It has nothing to do with me."
Li Qinghe suddenly felt a little contempt for her father. When did he become so disgusting?
Li Maocai didn't say anything. The two men behind him were unhappy: "Let's go back first and arrange another car for Manager Li. He's all smelly."
Hearing the disgust in the man's tone, Shopkeeper Li didn't dare to retort.
After all, I was able to get out thanks to others.
In fact, he was also very curious about who these two people were and why he wanted to go back to Qingquan Town with them.
Then, thinking of his own accounts, Manager Li became visibly panicked.
One of the men looked at Shopkeeper Li in confusion. Shopkeeper Li felt his gaze and became even more panicked.
"What are you doing? Why are you shaking?"
"I seem to have caught a cold and feel a little chilly." Shopkeeper Li did have a fever, so there was no problem with that.
Li Qinghe looked at the two men and asked respectfully, "Sir, shall we go back to Qingquan Town now?"
"Don't call me sir. We are just the madam's secret guards and we don't hold any honors or important positions." The man in black called himself Xuanyi and the man in blue called himself Lanwu.
Li Qinghe nodded and called softly, "You are here to help our Li family. Even though you have no achievements, you cannot neglect us."
"Master Lan, Master Xuan, please follow us back to Qingquan Town."
Xuanyi glanced at Li Qinghe and was very satisfied: "Let's go."
A horse carriage and a mule cart drove towards Qingquan Town. Manager Li was not very happy, but he did not make a fuss.
Not to mention others, even he himself can't stand the smell on his body.
When it got dark, the group arrived outside Qiu Yinong's inn, where only a small light was on.
