While the couple was chatting, Yin Le and Si Niang came back with their shopping.

"Mother! We bought a big crucian carp. We'll ask father to kill it for us tonight!"

Liu Ji, who was talking excitedly, stopped and turned to look outside the Moon Gate.

Si Niang rushed in with two beautiful braids. Seeing that her father was still there, her eyes lit up with surprise and she immediately opened her hands: "Father, make crucian carp tofu tonight!"

Liu Ji reached out to catch his filial daughter and scratched her messy bangs. "Where did you go to buy groceries? Why did you take so long to come back?"

Yin Le then came in with a basket full of vegetables. "I went to the market in the East Market. They had everything, fresh fish and shrimp, all freshly caught from the dock. They were cheaper than in the county."

Si Niang didn't get a reply from her father, so she reached out and plucked her father's hair, "Make crucian carp and tofu soup!"

Liu Ji hissed in pain and raised his hand as if to hit her, but he couldn't bear to do it. He gently pinched his daughter's face and said, "Go on, go on, go on. Your hand is too strong. It hurts your father to death."

Si Niang chuckled, and seeing that her father was in real pain, she stepped forward and blew on him a few times apologetically, "It will stop hurting if you blow, right?"

What else could Liu Ji say? His heart had melted. He let go of the girl and told her to go over and eat the loquats while he looked at the fish he had bought.

Two crucian carps weighing more than one pound were placed in a vegetable basket and wrapped in a large banana leaf. They were almost dead. Liu Ji clicked his tongue and shook his head, then quickly put the two fish into the water tank.

Si Niang grabbed a loquat and ate until her cheeks were bulging as she went to the water tank to look. She saw the two fish floating on the water with their bellies up as if they were dead. Suddenly, they turned over and came back to life, letting out an excited "Woo!"

This way, you can keep them until night time and then kill them so they will be freshest!
"Mother, my brothers and the others have gone to school. When can I go to school?" Si Niang climbed onto a high stool and handed the peeled loquat to Qin Yao's mouth.

The child's hands were clumsy, and the skin was peeled with bumps and holes. Seeing her daughter working hard to crack the loquat for a long time, Qin Yao took it and stuffed it into the mouth of Liu Ji who was passing by.

"My wife!" Liu Ji was so excited that he was a little flattered!

Qin Yao: "Eat it if I give it to you."

Si Niang watched as her father jumped up and down when he walked and tilted her head. Her father liked to eat loquats.

Then she peeled another one for her father to eat.

It’s just strange that this time, when her father handed over the loquat, he liked it, but he didn’t seem as happy as before.

The little girl was very confused. She didn't understand it, so she stopped thinking about it and peeled it for herself to eat.

He continued to ask his mother when he would go to school.

"In two days." Qin Yao replied.

With the correct answer, Si Niang was satisfied, "I'll go see what Uncle Awang is doing."

Qin Yao smiled and nodded: "Go."

After watching the child go to the backyard, Qin Yao waved to Liu Ji, who was running around, and said, "What are you doing walking around? Do you understand the enrollment rules of the Women's Academy?"

Liu Ji's mind was obviously not at home. He stretched his neck to look out even when he was sitting down. He seemed to hear the sound of the carriage moving, and stood up. "It seems that Censor Qi is back!"

Qin Yao understood instantly that this was just waiting to see what was happening.

But perhaps Censor Qi is not a good target for gossip.

Qin Yao pulled him back and glanced at him coldly. Liu Ji barely suppressed his fluttering heart and replied, "I'm just asking around."

As he said this, he glanced at her and said, "My lady, I'm not saying anything, but you haven't been out for a walk since you came to Kyoto. Why don't you go and ask about this?"

"Then what do you want me to do?" Qin Yao asked unhappily.

Liu Ji felt a little uneasy, but he had a reason this time, so he pointed outside and said, "Imperial Censor Qi is really back. I heard his housekeeper cursing. Madam, don't you want to know what happened to Wusheng?"

Although he couldn't enter the court, he had already imagined the lively scene in the hall this morning, which was comparable to a vegetable market. Qin Yao's heart moved, "You go out and take a look."

"What about the girls' academy?" Liu Ji smiled awkwardly and looked at her expectantly.

Seeing her nod, he turned and ran towards the door.

"Everyone is here! What's going on? What are you talking about?"

As soon as he arrived at the door, Liu Ji found that the neighbors were gathered at the door of Qi's house and whispering together, so he joined in skillfully.

As expected, they were talking about Wusheng's affairs, but Censor Qi was tight-lipped than a turtle, and no important information could be pried out.

This won’t do. If he can’t get the first-hand taste of the melon, how will Liu Saner survive in the village in the future?

While everyone was complaining and not paying attention, Liu Ji squeezed out from the crowd, rolled his eyes, and went straight to Jingzhao Yin.

Where can I find this melon?
Then we must mention his sworn brother Lu Xiaofeng!

The prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture is named Lu, so that guy must know the inside story.

Qin Yao watched Liu Ji walk out the door and then he disappeared.

In the evening, Awang picked up Dalang and his two brothers from the private school. They were preparing to cook dinner, but they had not returned yet.

Si Niang looked at the two crucian carps jumping around in the water tank and stamped her feet in anger. Her father had promised to make crucian carp and tofu soup for her in the evening, but he had disappeared.

In the end, Qin Yao killed the fish herself and finally appeased her daughter.

However, seeing Qin Yao's aura when killing the fish, the four brothers and sisters silently worried for their father.

While killing the fish, Qin Yao thought to herself, Liu Ji had better be able to bring the first-hand news, otherwise she would make him suffer tonight!
Otherwise, it is said that Liu Ji is a good person at getting stuck.

The food was ready and served on the table, and the person who had disappeared for the afternoon came back.

As soon as he entered the house, Liu Ji noticed that the atmosphere at home was not right.

but!

He is not panicking!
Not only was he not panicked, he was even a little proud. He washed his hands and went straight to the table to pick up the bowl.

Everyone in the family looked at each other and thought, oh my, so arrogant~
It’s no wonder that Liu Ji is so arrogant. He can guarantee that no one in this entire market knows more than him.

"Awang's cooking skills are improving. This crucian carp soup is so delicious!" Liu Ji praised.

"."

In response, he was stared at in silence by the family of seven.

Liu Ji was not in a hurry. He ate two more mouthfuls of food to fill his almost starving stomach, then put down his chopsticks and started his performance.

"Ahem!" He cleared his throat, stood up, and was about to take action.

Qin Yao shouted, "If you keep teasing me, I'll chop you up and feed you to the fish!"

Liu Ji sat back down and spoke very quickly but clearly, "Two memorials, one slap, and King Feng is finished. Let me tell you the details."

He took a bite of the carp's tail, savoring it with gusto. "These two memorials, one is the impeachment of the Crown Prince by Censor Qi, and the other is the confession of a martial artist copied by the Jingzhao Yin government office. As soon as His Majesty came to court this morning, the two memorials were thrown at the Crown Prince's feet."

When the contents of the letter were revealed, everyone in the court was shocked.

The Imperial Master, who had just come out of retreat to pray for the country, could no longer hold back and wrote a letter to accuse him, kneeling down to show respect. (End of this chapter)
