Chapter 38: Relegated to limbo
After the looting, Jiang Lili returned to the room where everyone had gathered.
Based on Yuan's confession, Xin Cheng and Zhao Pinghou had already captured the other three accomplices in the village.
Most of the villagers in Langyan Village were coerced. Now that the culprit has been punished, everyone can finally sleep well. After all, they felt guilty for cooperating with them in this business.
Liao Ji had already brought his mother out from the woodshed. Yin Zhen hugged his eldest son and burst into tears: "Oh my God, baby, how can you be so smart? I am so scared!"
The situation was too critical just now. Chen couldn't help but exclaimed: "Sister Yin, your child is so brave and smart. Is this really a one and a half year old child? What did he eat to grow up? "
Xin Yan curiously peeked from behind Chen at this little brother who was a head shorter than him, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration.
Marquis Zhaoping stroked his beard and said, "This boy is extremely intelligent. He is truly a talented general!"
When Jiang Lili came back, she saw that Master Liao had lost himself amid the calls of "child prodigy".
Damn it, he used the identity of a child to attack me from a lower dimension, and I got fooled by him!
"My child wasn't that good before. He could only babble and play in the mud."
Seeing Jiang Lili coming, Yin Zhen expressed her gratitude: "Dabao took Miss Jiang's medicine, and his cold got better tonight, so he became smarter!"
Yin Zhen excitedly bowed to Jiang Lili and said, "Miss Jiang, you are truly a miracle doctor!"
Even Chen and Xin Cheng looked at Jiang Lili with new eyes: "Sister-in-law, why didn't you tell me earlier that you have this ability!"
Jiang Lili received the astonishment in everyone's eyes. Oh no, everyone didn't think she was amazing, did they? !
This is a huge misunderstanding!!!
It was getting late, and the people gathered in the house gradually dispersed.
Jiang Lili instructed Master Liao: "Dabao, you have heard the most comprehensive information. Tell Li Sicong about the specific situation of Langyan Village and ask him to go to the school in the city to bring the children back from the village!"
She was going to count all her money again in bed!
Liao Ji shook his head. His small body was carrying too much.

Xin Che sent his father and mother back to their room. When he was about to leave, Yang grabbed his hand and said, "Che'er, is there any news about your aunt?"
Marquis Zhaoping also looked at Xin Che eagerly.
Xin Che couldn't bear to lie to his parents any more, so he told them everything about his aunt.
His aunt Xin Yingshu was childhood sweethearts of Emperor Qingning. After she was brought into the palace at the age of 15, she was favored and rose to the position of imperial concubine step by step.
Marquis Zhaoping worked hard for Emperor Qingning, just hoping that his sister could live happily and carefree in the palace. Who could have imagined that the situation would be like this now.
That day, Cheng Jiayu, Guan Yue and Jiang Lili went out to the street, and at night they finally got in touch with the accomplice they had been looking for for days.
The news we received was that Concubine Ying was not in danger of her life in the palace, she had just temporarily fallen out of favor.
When Marquis Zhaoping and his wife heard the news, they felt relieved for the time being.
Xin Che lowered his eyes. Apart from this, many other unexpected events had occurred in the capital. However, it was pointless to talk about these with his parents, as it would only add to their troubles.

The next day, the palace.
Emperor Qingning was sitting on the dragon throne, holding a beautiful woman in his arms. This beautiful woman was the new favorite in the harem, Concubine Rou, who was now one month pregnant.
Emperor Qingning coldly asked the chief eunuch Zhou Jushan: "Can Concubine Ying admit her fault?"
Zhou Jushan said: "I haven't received any news from Yixia Palace yet."
Zhou Jushan is the deputy monitor of Class 447.
He was a sea king in his previous life, and he had cheated on countless girls. No one knew if it was because he had done too many sins in his previous life that he was able to travel through time and space and enter the palace without any trouble.
Emperor Qingning snorted coldly: "Now that we have discovered that the Yang family's embezzlement of disaster relief funds is related to the Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion, her brother and nephew are really capable!"
Zhou Jushan remained silent. As a psychology major, he knew well that silence is golden.
Emperor Qingning asked again: "Is Concubine Ying still refusing to eat or drink?"
Before Zhou Jushan could answer, Concubine Rou spoke first.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is on a hunger strike and refuses to eat. I heard that the food has gone bad."
Concubine Rou sighed softly: "I wonder how many disaster victims are still starving in the world."
When Zhou Jushan heard what Concubine Rou said, he complained in his heart eight hundred times. This sister is really a master of moral kidnapping. How could Concubine Ying endure the fact that her family was in exile and their lives were uncertain?
Besides, don’t you see what the imperial kitchen has prepared for the disgraced Concubine Ying!
The rotten food that the servants didn't want to eat turned into something rotten in her mouth.
Zhou Jushan has seen countless people, so he is very good at judging white lotus.
While Zhou Jushan was complaining, Concubine Rou continued to speak out: "My background is not as good as Concubine Ying's, but I also know the principle of saving food. These days, everyone in Yanxi Palace has been tightening their belts and praying for the little prince in her belly and the people of the dawn."
Zhou Jushan even wanted to applaud Concubine Rou. Mentioning Concubine Ying's background in front of the Emperor, wasn't it just to seduce the Emperor and make him think of the Xin family's crime of treason?
Besides, Concubine Rou only wears the clothes of a maid and eats the food of a eunuch. Who dares to treat her badly when she is pregnant with the prince?
Just praying, burning incense and inviting the master cost no less than two thousand taels of silver.
This rhetoric really made her understand.
"No wonder my beloved concubine has lost weight."
Emperor Qingning played with Concubine Rou's hand, his eyes gradually turned cold: "Concubine Ying is still living too comfortably."
"Eunuch Zhou!"
When Zhou Jushan heard the voice of "Eunuch Zhou", he recalled the sad things. It had been ten days since he traveled here, but he still couldn't get used to this identity. He forced a smile and replied, "Hey, I'm here~"
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"Pass on my decree. From today on, Imperial Concubine Ying will be moved to the cold palace. No one is allowed to visit her!"
Although Zhou Jushan complained, he went down to announce the imperial edict obediently. Having achieved his goal, Concubine Rou also took her leave.
Concubine Rou had a conversation with Zhou Jushan at the palace gate.
She felt that Eunuch Zhou had become very likable recently and understood women's minds very well. Not only did he have a keen eye for selecting things for the concubines, but he also spoke very nicely.
"Eunuch Zhou, what do you think of my outfit today?"
Zhou Jushan shook his head: "Empress Rou's outfit today is a little strange."
Concubine Rou's expression changed instantly. This Eunuch Zhou always had good taste, but she had spent a lot of time dressing up to see the emperor today. "What's so strange about this?"
"It's so pretty."
Zhou Jushan said this without blushing or beating his heart, his eyes were sincere and filled with just the right amount of affection.
Concubine Rou was startled for a moment, then she couldn't stop laughing: "Eunuch Zhou is really a wonderful person. I even want to dig Eunuch Zhou away from the emperor."
Zhou Jushan didn't want to use all his cheesy love words wholesale. How could it be enough to follow Concubine Rou every day!
Moreover, as a eunuch serving the emperor, he could openly look at all kinds of beauties.
"Your Majesty, you are beautiful and have beautiful dreams. I have been trained to serve the prince since I was a child."
After Zhou Jushan finished speaking, he glanced at Concubine Rou's belly and gave her a look that showed he understood.
When Concubine Rou heard this, she touched her belly and laughed loudly. She waved her hand happily and asked the senior palace maid beside her to stuff a bag of gold leaves into Zhou Jushan's pocket.
Zhou Jushan thanked him and left.
Watching Zhou Jushan's receding figure, Concubine Rou complained in her heart. She really didn't know why, every time she saw Eunuch Zhou, she was always willing to spend large sums of money on him.
On the way to Concubine Ying's palace, Zhou Jushan quickly sent a message to Jiang Lili.
[@Deputy monitor: Li Li, I have some bad news for you. Xin Che's aunt has been banished to the cold palace.]
