: The son wants to be raised, but the relatives don’t wait for him

Author: Soy Sauce Xuanzhu

"I don't know, I can't see his face."

The child was about four years old, the age when he seemed to understand everything. He waved his hands innocently, with a sincere look on his face.

Li Yewu intuitively felt that this was not a good thing, but under the current circumstances, she could only accept it.

Just as she was about to reach out, Zicui took the bamboo tube first.

"Princess, let me come."

Li Yewu couldn't help but laugh when she saw this. Look at Zi Cui's cautious face. Even TV dramas don't show such caution.

"Princess, you don't know. Many people put poison in their letterheads or put poisonous insects in bamboo tubes. It's very dangerous if you accidentally get infected."

When Zicui said this, Li Yewu unconsciously became serious: "No... it's not that big of a deal, right?"

I just said it doesn't look like a TV series, and now I'm going to tell you a scene from a TV series. It turns out that TV series are not all made up, right?

"Be careful with your ten-thousand-year-old ship. This Zi Cui has experience. Just leave it to me."

After saying this, Zicui put the bamboo tube on the ground, picked up a huge stone and smashed the bamboo tube with a bang.

After confirming that there were no suspicious insects emerging from the bamboo tube, he carefully used a tree branch to take out the letter, and then unfolded it with difficulty.

Those who didn’t know better thought Zi Cui was clearing mines.

Li Yewu thought it was ridiculous, but curiously stepped forward to look at it. She saw that the letter contained only nine words: "Be careful if someone wants to kill you."

???

Li Yewu looked confused. Someone wanted to kill her?

Zi Cui also looked frightened: "Wang...Princess...someone wants...want..."

"Well, I saw it." Li Yewu nodded and didn't let Zicui say anything.

After all, the child who delivered the message was still looking at them eagerly.

Obviously, he was stunned by the letter opening action of the second of the two just now.

Li Yewu smiled and touched the child's head: "Thank you, I received the letter. I'll buy you some candies here."

As he spoke, he took out two pennies from his waist and handed them to the child.

The child smiled happily at her and ran away happily taking her pocket money.

After the child ran away, Li Yewu took out the handkerchief, picked up the letter on the ground and wrapped it up.

She continued walking to the palace as if nothing had happened.

Zi Cui looked panicked: "Princess, aren't you scared?"

Li Yewu scratched his head. To be honest, he would be lying if he said he was not afraid, but if he said he was afraid, it seemed okay.

After all, she knew whoever wanted to kill her was nothing more than a bandit in a no-man's land.

But...who would be so kind as to write a letter to remind her?

Li Yewu couldn't figure it out for a while and planned to ask the old housekeeper for help.

It was only after the old housekeeper was rescued that Zi Cui secretly revealed the old housekeeper's identity to her.

Although the old housekeeper is amiable and naive, he and the father-in-law who manages your majesty's money, and the father-in-law who serves your majesty, are known as the three royal treasures. They are the emperor's most favored people and know a lot of skills.

The old housekeeper, also known as Neng Gonggong, used to train soldiers to die for His Majesty.

When Xiao Jiuxi came to Taihe Prefecture, the emperor was worried that he could not handle it alone, so he assigned Eunuch Neng to him.

For the sake of convenience, I changed my name to Old Butler.

Only those who came from the capital knew about this matter, others had no idea at all.

Zicui was also grateful to Li Yewu for saving the old housekeeper, so she secretly revealed the old housekeeper's identity to her.

Li Yewu never expected that the old housekeeper was so powerful.

With this kind of status, in the Ming Dynasty, he would be like the owner of Dongchang Factory, right?

However, although the old housekeeper was powerful, he was sincere to Xiao Jiuxi. At least in Li Yewu's eyes, he was indeed loyal to Prince Chang's Mansion.

Moreover, the attendants in the mansion had a very good relationship with him, which shows that the old housekeeper was completely different from the father-in-law of Dongxichang in the Ming Dynasty.

Li Yewu felt that this kind of riddle would not be difficult for him. Instead of guessing by himself, it would be better to ask the old housekeeper for help.

However, as soon as she entered the city, she met a boy who ran out of the government office.

This is Cui Fuyin's personal servant. He usually stays with Cui Fuyin and only leaves when he helps Cui Fuyin buy wine.

Li Yewu smiled and greeted him: "Hey, Xiaodao, Cui Fuyin wants to drink so early?"

It's only noon.

Unexpectedly, when the young man saw Li Yewu, he stopped in his tracks and ran to her excitedly: "I'm not buying wine, but I'm here to see the princess. It's great to meet the princess here. Our master has a lot of urgent needs."

Let’s discuss the matter with the princess, and ask the princess to move to the inner courtyard.”

"So anxious?"

Li Yewu followed the boy to the Yamen without thinking, but Zicui grabbed her.

"Princess, you can't save yourself now that the Ni Bodhisattva is crossing the river, so you should go back home first."

The princess has received a death threat letter. At this time, if she doesn't quickly return to the palace to seek help, but instead runs to take care of others, she will risk her life.

Li Yewu smiled and pointed to the plaque on the door on the left: "This is the Yamen. Is there any safer place in the world than the Yamen? It's okay, go and have a look."

As he said that, he walked into the yamen first, looking so unhurried that Zicui was really worried to death.

At that time, Cui Fuyin was packing things in the inner courtyard. His face was very bad, pale, tired and sad.

In Li Yewu's impression, Cui Fuyin is an old man whose edges have been smoothed by reality, who only wants to be a salted fish, who doesn't like to cause trouble and doesn't want to be in trouble, and who is waiting for retirement.

Although he is lazy, he is also optimistic, and although he is foolish, he is also wise. It is rare for him to show his emotions like this today.

"What happened to Cui Fuyin?"

When Cui Fuyin heard Li Yewu's voice, he immediately showed a loving smile like an elder: "You are here."

"Xiaodao said that you have urgent matters to come to me for."

"Well, I'm really anxious." Cui Fuyin's eyes dimmed: "I just received a letter from home. My mother drove to Hexi the day before yesterday. I have to go back to see her off for the last time and keep her filial piety. This time

I’m going to take my leave with the princess.”

Da Chu's ethical principles are similar to what Li Yewu knew in ancient times. For example, if one's parents pass away, direct blood relatives must observe filial piety for three years. During these three years, even the emperor cannot marry and have fun, let alone ministers.

No matter how old an official becomes, he must take leave to go home and observe mourning for three years. Otherwise, even if the villagers and elders do not tell him, the censor will impeach him immediately, and the court may even never hire him.

How dare Cui Fuyin not return?

Cui Fuyin sighed: "Even if the court doesn't force me to do so, I still have to go back. I owe my mother a lot these years. It's time to return home and stay with her."

Over the years, he was ostracized and looked down upon by everyone. He couldn't bear the hardship of his wife, children and mother, so he let them stay in his hometown.

I thought that it would be one year before I could retire and return to my hometown, and my family would be reunited by then. However, my mother suddenly passed away.

Cui Fuyin's eyes couldn't help but become misty when he thought that his mother had worked hard to pull him up and bring him up, but he couldn't die in front of her.
