The grass in the factory should be plucked

Jiang Li bit her lip and suddenly shouted, "Dad!"

Liao Wuyong was startled: "What did you call me?"

Jiang Li knelt down in front of him and said earnestly, "Father, since you don't want this adopted son anymore, why don't I be your daughter?"

"The emperor has always known my identity. Now the queen mother has forgiven me. Father, can't you forgive us?"

"I had no choice but to join the East Factory..."

Jiang Li recounted the whole story, how she was framed by Concubine Zhou, who wanted to use her as a bait to cast a curse on the old emperor, how she destroyed her own appearance to escape, and how she exposed Concubine Zhou to Xie Changan, which led to the Cuixiang Pavilion case.

When Liao Wuyong heard that she had saved the late emperor and the empress dowager many times, he was deeply moved.

Jiang Li said with tears in her eyes: "Father, if I hadn't fought back, I would have died in the cold palace..."

Her voice was tender, her eyes were filled with tears, and her words were sincere. She kept calling him "Dad" left and right, and Liao Wuyong couldn't help but soften his heart.

He sighed, "You're a good girl, I don't blame you, get up."

Jiang Li's eyes were filled with tears: "Brother Chang'an has helped me a lot. I was the one who liked him first. Father, can you please not blame him?"

Liao Wuyong glared at Xie Changan and snorted coldly.

The emperor and the empress dowager do not blame them. It is not the business of outsiders to interfere in the affairs of their royal family. It would make them seem like they are meddling too much.

Seeing that his attitude had softened, Jiang Li quickly picked up the teacup on the table and respectfully handed it to Liao Wuyong.

"Father, after drinking this cup of tea, I will become your daughter. I will take care of you and let you live out your life in peace."

Liao Wuyong took the teacup with a stern face and took a sip.

Jiang Li was overjoyed, jumped up, and patted his shoulders attentively, "A big banquet is always held to recognize relatives, but during the national mourning period, everything should be kept simple. Let's just have a simple family dinner."

"Father, what do you like to eat? I'll ask the chief chefs of Longmen Restaurant and Longmen Boat Banquet to come over and cook it right after your order!"

Liao Wuyong finally smiled: "Girls are more considerate than brats!"

He glared at Xie Changan, "Get up, even the emperor and the queen mother don't blame you, why should an old man like me meddle in other people's business!"

Xie Changan kowtowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, foster father! In the future, my little raccoon and I will be filial to you and will not let you down."

Jiang Li stuck out her tongue at him. They finally passed this level without any danger.

Jiang Li really hired a factory guard, took her token, and went to Longmen Restaurant to summon the chief chef.

She had just recovered from a serious injury, and Xie Changan didn't allow her to eat cold fish sashimi, so Jiang Li had no choice but to prevent the chef of Longmen Boat Banquet from coming.

"Dad, when I get better, I'll treat you to a good boat dinner! Our chef knows how to cook puffer fish, and it tastes delicious!"

Liao Wuyong asked in horror: "But what about the poisonous fish?"

"Yes, the toxins of puffer fish are usually in the internal organs and blood. There will be no problem if handled properly, but it is very troublesome to clean up." Jiang Li said with a smile.

Xie Changan also laughed and said, "Now the reservations for pufferfish at the Longmen Boat Banquet have been booked until the year after next. One ounce of gold per pufferfish, and before eating it, one has to go to the government to sign a life and death contract, but the supply is still in short supply."

Liao Wuyong couldn't help but smile and said, "Thanks to my daughter, I can also taste this delicacy."

He suddenly remembered that Yu Guiren's father seemed to be an important official in the court, so he asked, "Who is your father..."

Jiang Li sneered and said, "It's the Minister of Works who has eaten up all the people in the family, Lord Jiang Xiuyuan."

Liao Wuyong had naturally heard about the "farce" of Yu's request for the marriage of her nephew from her mother's family to the Longmen Dong family, and he could not help but angrily said, "It turned out to be him? His family harmed your mother, and they want to repeat the same trick and harm you again?"

"This kind of villain who uses marriage to make money and kill people is worse than a beast!"

"They have harmed me, not just this time?"

Jiang Li told the story of how Yu murdered her mother, sent her to the countryside when she was just born, and brought her back to the palace after she reached the age of 15, all in order to seize her dowry and the Fang family's property.

"If I die in the cold palace, wouldn't that be what they want?" Jiang Li said angrily.

Liao Wuyong was so angry that his hair stood on end. He slammed the table and said, "How can there be such a vicious woman in the world!"

He looked at Jiang Li with great pity, "Don't worry, my daughter. Dad will seek justice for you!"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "My daughter thanks you first, father. After His Majesty ascends the throne, I will settle this account with them!"

On the way back to the Princess's Mansion, Xie Changan was extremely resentful: "Even my adoptive father was taken away by you, little Li Nu, how are you going to compensate me?"

"Hahahaha..." Jiang Li laughed so hard that he fell backwards. "If I give myself to you as compensation, then you will have everything, right?"

Xie Changan hugged her, his eyes deep: "No, unless you promise to give me a few children."

Jiang Li's ears turned red with shame: "How many more babies are you going to give birth to? Do you think I'm a sow?"

Xie Changan chuckled and said, "Then let's have two, one son and one daughter is best."

Jiang Li glared at him: "What if I can't give birth to a son? Are you going to take a concubine?"

Xie Changan smiled and said, "Actually, I want a little girl who looks like Xiao Li Nu. If she has an elder brother, he can protect her in the future."

When he thought of the little cat slave calling him "Daddy" in a baby voice, his heart melted.

Seeing Jiang Li still glaring at him angrily, Xie Changan sighed softly: "The fortune teller said that I was destined to be a star of misfortune. Now that I have little Li Nu, it is a great blessing from heaven!"

"It would be great if we have a son and a daughter. If you are not destined to have a son, I will just take care of my little slave."

"If I have any second thoughts, aren't you afraid that your pledge of unity will destroy me?" he said with a smile.

"God will strike me and I will die!" Jiang Li snorted.

"My dear lady, please spare my life. I will never dare to do it again!" Xie Changan hugged her and said with a smile.

Jiang Li burst out laughing, blushed, and hit him with her fist.

Xie Changan smiled and grabbed her little fist, then bent down and kissed her, feeling infinite joy in his heart.

He and his little slave, the fox, finally saw the moon through the clouds!

The deceased emperor's body would remain in the Qianqing Palace for seven days before being moved to the Shouhuang Palace. It would not be buried in the imperial mausoleum until 49 days had passed.

During these seven days, princes, nobles, civil and military officials, and ladies of honor had to go to the palace to mourn every day.

Jiang Li had no choice but to go to the palace on time. Whenever she had a break, she was either called away by Empress Dowager Zhang or kept by Zhang Wanwan. Cui Jin always wanted to talk to her but couldn't find her.

That day, Jiang Li came out of the Queen Mother's Palace and saw a tall and slender figure coming out from behind a bunch of crape myrtle flowers. She said quietly, "Master Jiang is really a very busy man."

Jiang Li looked carefully and found it was Cui Jin. She bowed quickly and said, "Your Highness."

Cui Jin looked at her carefully. The face under the mask was as beautiful as a peony. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly. No wonder the emperor was so obsessed with her. Even she was moved when she saw her.

She looked at Jiang Li with resentment: "Master Jiang is really popular. Even the Queen Mother and the Crown Princess look favorably upon you."
