Chapter 741: Everyone Fears Death!

ere!"She stomped the dirt with her foot a few times, then went back into the courtyard.Under the eaves, an old mattress was laid out. Jia Yin sat on it, nibbling on fruit and watching the commotion, w..."What a jerk! Who on earth brought this harmful thing here"

"That's right, beheading, it must be done!"

Needless to say, the onlookers were having a field day watching the drama unfold, both with delight and indignation. Let's just say that Jiayin arrived at Liu's house in a carriage.

Mrs. Liu personally greeted her at the second gate after receiving the good news. She took her hand and walked inside, showering her with affectionate words along the way.

"Auntie, is my Uncle Liu busy at the government office" Jia Yin asked.

"No," Mrs. Liu replied, "The market was so lively today, how could I have missed it"

"Your Uncle Liu specially brought Zhimin and Xiujie to see the destruction of the Fusheng Paste."

"These two boys are getting bolder and bolder. Your Uncle Liu also wants to take this opportunity to discipline them a bit."

Jia Yin nodded and smiled, replying, "Brother Zhi Min is becoming more and more mature. Brother Xiu Jie is just as mischievous as my fourth and fifth older brothers."

Mrs. Liu also laughed, "Thanks to your elder brother, who has taken good care of them at the academy on a daily basis."

"I was hoping your older brother could teach them a bit more, but since he's going to study abroad, I'm worried now."

Jia Yin waved her hand, giving Liu Fu a comforting pill. "Don't worry, Aunt, Brother Zhìmín and Brother Xiùjié are both very clever. I heard Master often praises them."

"My elder brother won't go to the academy often from now on, but my sixth and seventh brothers will still hang out with them, so they definitely won't be bullied. We don't have to worry about them at home."

"As for the future, without my older brother leading the way, they might learn to be more steady and independent."

Mrs. Liu was very pleased to hear this. Seeing Jia Yin, so young yet with a round face and plump body, shaking her head and swaying back and forth, made the golden butterfly on her braid seem alive. She was truly adorable.

But the little girl spoke with such reason and clarity, like a little adult. The more she spoke, the more he loved her.

So, she called over her personal maid and brought out a set of jewelry she had purchased at the silver shop the other day. “I went for a stroll at the silver shop the day before yesterday and saw this ivory jewelry set. It’s particularly suitable for a princess of the county's age, so I bought it,”

Mrs. Liu opened the box and urged Jia Yin, "Miss, take a look quickly, do you like it"

Jia Yin peeked her head in and couldn't help but smile, her eyes crinkling at the corners.

Ivory, with its naturally fine and smooth texture, makes for exquisite jewelry when carved.

Hairpins, chopsticks, bracelets, rings, and pendants, they had everything imaginable, each piece exquisitely crafted.

The most surprising thing is that most of the jewelry was carved with nine-tailed foxes, both cute and spirited.

Jiayin happily picked up a card and twirled it in her hands, feeling a surge of emotion.

This is also in Tianwu, if it were modern times, this box would be enough to send her and Mrs. Liu out for some "peanuts".

"Thank you, elder sister. I really like it, so I won't be polite and accept it. When I get back, I will definitely show San Qiao and let her work hard to cultivate, hoping she can grow nine tails as soon as possible!"

Jia Yin's joke caused Madam Liu and her maidservant to burst into laughter.

They all knew that Jiayin had a three-tailed white fox, which was personally brought back by the Marquis after surrounding the mountain. It was even famous in front of the Emperor.

Sometimes people joked that this little fox had become a spirit, but no one took it seriously.

After all, those are just jokes!

Jia Yin received the ivory jewelry and then called Shui Ling forward, placing the basket in her hands on the table. She said, "Auntie, about what you mentioned last time at home, it's already taken care of."

Please ask your wife to send someone to those few houses and let them know that we are safe and sound.

Additionally, these medicine pouches are already labeled with names and dosage instructions. Please deliver them to each household as well. Once the medicinal soup is finished, they will recover.

Mrs. Liu was delighted, her eyes sparkling, "This is wonderful! I'll have someone go out and notify them right away. This prescription was written by the divine physician Zhang, wasn't it"

Jia Yin nodded, pinched a piece of pastry and said, "Yes, Aunt, Grandpa Zhang has tested it with people, guaranteed to work.

"

He has been obsessed with researching new drugs lately. Yesterday, he was even complaining that he didn't have enough medicinal herbs!

Mrs. Liu understood, and nodded quickly, "Oh my, that's truly remarkable! These maids are considered fortunate in misfortune. I thank him on their behalf!"

Having said that, she asked again, “Have you arranged for your aunt and the Jia family”

"My aunt had me sent into the city this morning. I came to my mother's place first, and then I will go to the Jia family in a while to spend some time with Baozhu."

Jia Yin finished the snacks and clapped her hands, boldly speaking up, "Auntie, these snacks at your place are so delicious. Please give your niece a box to take back and share with Bao Zhu, alright"

"Good, good!" Mrs. Liu was delighted.

She only had two sons and treated Jia Yin like her own daughter, doting on her.

Seeing Jia Yin being close to her again made her feel even more at ease.

So, in the end, when Jia Yin left the Liu family, she took four boxes of snacks.

In the Jia family courtyard, Baozhu was making a scene, acting like a spoiled child.

"Mother, you don't love me anymore. Why are my brothers allowed to go see the commotion but I'm not"

"Because they are young and fearless, not afraid to show their faces," Jia's second wife tapped her daughter's forehead, showing no sign of giving in.

"Why are you, a little girl, going to watch a beheading Aren't you afraid of having nightmares when you return home"

Just then, the midwife came to report that Princess Kangle had arrived.

Before Second Madam Jia could answer, Baozhu had already darted out like a rabbit.

She soon came in hand-in-hand with Jiayin, giggling.

Jia Er's wife laughed uncontrollably, and hurriedly poured tea and added charcoal to the brazier.

Jia Yin was afraid of delaying the delivery of medicine, so she quickly finished her business.

Jia Erfu's laughter blossomed like a flower, and she immediately instructed Xinzhen's wife and maidservant to go out.

Baozhu accompanied Jiayin to visit Madam Jia, the eldest matriarch. The two spent a good while chatting with Madam Jia, making the old lady smile brightly before returning to Baozhu's room together. They enjoyed each other's company, indulging in gossip and snacks.

At this moment, the streets were crowded with people. The vegetable market was particularly chaotic, with cries of grief echoing throughout the air.

All the noble ladies were weeping bitterly.

It's not that their heartthrobs are in the chopping line, but... they're afraid of death too!

The Emperor had already stated in court that anyone found to have used the Hibiscus Cream would be beheaded.

After waiting anxiously for several days, no official came to the door.

But today is the day of beheading, who knows, perhaps at any moment, they will be dragged out like dead dogs and have their heads chopped off...

To the south of the city lies a grand courtyard, renowned as a scholarly family in Tianwu. The head of the household bears the surname Gu.

Two brothers in the same family, both born to their parents, live happily together under their parents' care.

Although the family was usually cheerful and lively, today the mansion's doors were firmly shut, with an unnerving silence pervading every corner.

In the main courtyard, Old Master Gu and Old Madam Gu, Master Gu Da and his wife, Master Gu Er and his wife, along with his widowed sister—now the headmistress of the women's school, Gu—were all gathered in the hall...

The eldest daughter of Lord Gu, Gu Qingqing, was twenty-eight years old. She was at the prime of her beauty.

But right now, her face was pale, her eyes were swollen and red, tears streaming down her cheeks that she couldn't wipe away, as if she had been ravaged by a storm.

"Mother, oh mother, I don't want to die, I'm afraid!" Gu Qingqing hugged her mother and cried pitifully.my marquis!""The barbarians who were killed were just wetting themselves and crying their father's name, this is the one!"“Oh, so it's Marquis Xinting!” The man exclaimed in surprise and regret. “I sh...
