After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

Li Jin was not used to this kind of interaction between him and me, and moved to the side a little awkwardly.

He listened carefully to every word I said. His ears seemed to understand, but his head was like a layer of paste and was in a mess.

Li Jin thought for a moment and said, "Who in the court is a pure and kind person? I have been an official for more than 20 years, and I believe I have done a good job before the world and have no regrets in my heart."

I looked at Li Jin, who looked very righteous, and silently gave him a thumbs up, saying, "The Oscars really owe you a little golden man."

"What Oscar? What golden man?" Li Jin looked at me in confusion.

I looked at Li Jin's funny expression and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The bad mood that had just been frightened half to death by Zheng Xian was also dissipated a lot by this laugh.

Li Jin was puzzled by my laughter and looked at me in bewilderment.

Yiping looked at me, then at Li Jin, and couldn't help rolling her eyes. She must have thought I was crazy.

The yard where Li Jin's mother lived was not far from the pavilion. After turning around the small pond, they arrived at the gate of the yard.

Li Jin's official residence is not big. It is even smaller than the general's mansion, and it cannot be compared with Gongsun's mansion.

Li Jin's mother's courtyard occupies one third of the entire Li Mansion. It seems that Li Jin is really filial to his mother!

Considering the relationship between Li Jin and Zheng Xian, his house shouldn't be so shabby, but he is willing to live in such a small house. This makes me re-examine Li Jin as a person.

Li Jin's mother had sent someone to wait at the gate of the courtyard early in the morning. When she saw us coming, she hurried over, bowed to us, and led us into the house.

Li Jin's mother was already sitting at the large round table in the living room.

The old lady looked very thin, with a dry face and deep-set eyes that looked particularly large. Her silver hair was piled on her head, looking particularly heavy, as if it could break her slender neck at any time!

Next to her stood a woman who was about thirty years old. She was dressed very casually in a long cotton skirt with no extra patterns, which made her look very plain. She also had a jade hairpin on her head, which made her look elegant and generous.

I know who this woman is, she is Li Jin’s wife, Lu Yin!

Unexpectedly, Li Jin is so low-key, and his wife is even more low-key. She dresses so simply that people who don’t know her would think she is a maidservant of the old lady.

There was no one else in the room except the old lady and Madam Li Jin, not even a servant to serve them. However, the round table was filled with food and filled with fragrant aromas. I couldn't help but swallow my saliva.

When the old lady saw me, she waved her hand happily and said, "Come on, two little girls, come and sit down."

I looked at the old lady in surprise. How could she recognize me as a woman right after meeting me? How could her eyesight be so good even though she looked old and dim?

Lu Yin came over with a smile, stretched out her hand and pulled me to the old lady's side, gently pressed me onto the stool, and said, "Miss Zhao, please take a seat."

Yiping pulled my sleeve tightly, a little at a loss.

Lu Yin gently took Yi Ping's hand and said, "Miss Zhao San, please sit with me so that I can serve you the food."

Yiping held my sleeve tightly and refused to let go.

Although Yiping was used to seeing all kinds of people in the market, she was not used to someone as gentle and enthusiastic as Lu Yin.

I turned my head and said to Lu Yin, "It's okay, just let her sit next to me. The child is still young and shy!"

Only then did Lu Yin let go of Yi Ping's hand and said with a smile, "Okay, then I'll sit next to Miss Zhao and serve her the food."

Yiping felt even more uncomfortable. From childhood to adulthood, she would always snatch food from her elder brother every time she ate, fearing that if she ate slowly, her elder brother would eat it all, not to mention that someone would serve her food.

Yiping waved her hands quickly and said, "No, no need for you to serve me food. I am an adult, not a child. I can eat by myself."

Lu Yin and the old lady laughed when they heard this. The old lady said, "The little girl is shy. Yin, just let her eat by herself and don't scare her."

Lü Yin smiled and nodded, saying, "I didn't think it through."

Lu Yin placed the bowl and chopsticks in front of Yiping and said, "Then I won't serve Miss Zhao San. Please feel free to do as you please."

Yiping gave a dry laugh, looked at me, then looked at Lu Yin, feeling a little at a loss.

I said, "Just take whatever you want to eat. Don't be shy."

Yiping then slowly picked up the chopsticks and quickly picked up a piece of fish in front of her. She then secretly glanced at Li Jin and the others. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she lowered her head, stuffed the fish into her mouth, and swallowed it in big mouthfuls.

It looks like the child is starving.

I picked up a chicken leg and put it in her bowl. She looked up at me, grinned, picked up the chicken leg with one hand, quickly swallowed the fish meat in her mouth, and took a big bite of chicken.

I patted her head and said, "Eat slowly. No one will snatch it from you."

Li Jin looked at him and laughed, saying, "Mr. Zhao must be hungry too. Come on, pick up your chopsticks."

Lu Yin also put a big chicken drumstick into my bowl, smiled gently and said, "Eat it quickly."

I picked up the chicken leg and took a bite. Ancient food is so good, pure natural, unpolluted, and sweet in the mouth. I couldn't help but take another bite. The more I chewed, the more delicious it became.

After chewing for a while and swallowing it, I glanced at Li Jin who was silently serving food to the old lady and said, "Master Li has known for a long time that I am a woman, why does he keep calling me Master Zhao?"

After Li Jin put the fish into the old lady's bowl, he looked up and said to me, "Although I already know your identity, His Majesty specifically instructed that you should be called Young Master Zhao when you are wearing men's clothes. Only when you are willing to put on women's clothes can you be called Miss Zhao."

How many things did Zheng Xian do behind my back that I didn't know about? He even arranged my identity so carefully.

Except for the time when he tricked me into helping him rescue someone, he and I had never met before and had no connection at all. What was there about me that was worthy of him protecting me so much?

Could it be that Zhao Shengping had saved Zheng Xian before?

I was puzzled and deep in thought, biting my chopsticks, when Lu Yin put a piece of braised beef into my bowl and said with a smile, "Ms. Zhao, please eat quickly, the food is getting cold."

Li Jin also laughed and said, "Yes, the food is getting cold. Eat quickly, eat quickly."

After Li Jin finished speaking, he picked up another large piece of fish and put it in the old lady's bowl. When I saw it, I quickly said, "People with heat poison in their bodies should not eat fish."

The old lady had already put the fish in her mouth. After hearing what I said, she swallowed the fish and said indifferently, "How did the little girl tell at a glance that I have heat poison in my body?"

I put down my chopsticks, looked at the old lady's face carefully, and said, "The old lady's face is red with green, there are red spots on her hands and arms, and her tongue is thick and white. It is obvious that she has been suffering from heat poison for a long time, and the poison has penetrated her internal organs and spread to her bone marrow. At this point, I am afraid that all doctors in the world are powerless to help her."
