The atmosphere in the Hall of Rongxi was a bit unspeakable. Jia Baoyu was brought up with the mentality of a child, and his anger and grievances came and went quickly.
Jia Cong learned from Jia Cong that the sisters were cleaning up the flower pots and other things that he had smashed. He blushed and shook the old lady's arm, saying that he was going to apologize to the sisters, and disappeared in a flash.
Jia Cong, on the other hand, looked at Xi Ren who was biting his lip and dared not speak with an inquiring gaze, and said slowly: "Xiren, you are such a good maid to Brother Bao!"
Jia Cong's tone was very cold, and Jia Mu, Wang Xifeng, and Yuanyang in the cold hall could all hear his anger.
Originally, Jia's mother thought that Jia Cong was angry because he was injured because of the attack. She was about to say something, but she heard Jia Cong continue: "Knowing that Brother Bao almost caused trouble today, not only did he not dissuade him, but he also encouraged Bao. Second brother came to Rongxi Hall to complain, is he planning to alienate the friendship between me and second brother Bao?"
"I don't dare!"
Xiren was shaking like a sieve, and immediately knelt down and begged the old lady for mercy.
"Ancestor, I don't have any slaves..."
Unfortunately, the old lady was planning to find a way to get off the stairs. Although what Jia Cong said was a bit far-fetched, it was exactly what she wanted.
She placed Xiren next to Jia Baoyu, originally intending to let Xiren, a seemingly decent person, take care of her good grandson, and it was her duty to persuade Baoyu.
But as Jia Cong said, today's incident could have been avoided. Not only did Xiren fail to persuade him, but he even came to embarrass himself with his lies...
"Brother Cong is right. It's normal for brothers to have a little temper. It's better for you to add fuel and jealousy to the old lady and disturb the peace of the whole family. Damn it!"
Wang Xifeng was very shrewd. When he saw that the old lady's attitude had wavered, he immediately spoke up to help Jia Cong.
Sure enough, Jia Mu borrowed the donkey from the slope and snorted coldly and said: "How presumptuous are you to interfere in the affairs between masters? You even caused brother Cong to be injured. He was not allowed to be spared. He was dragged down and beaten twenty times. , send her back to my mother-in-law, and she is not allowed to step into Rongguo Mansion again!"
When Xiren heard that he was going to be beaten twenty times and had to rush home, he was paralyzed with fear and wanted to seek shelter from Jia Baoyu, but the second master Bao was nowhere to be seen.
I saw Xiren's tears falling freely, and he was trembling all over and was so frightened that he couldn't even stand up straight. Seeing that two strong old ladies were about to come up and drag her down, they repeatedly kowtowed to the old lady and begged for mercy: "I don't dare to do it anymore. Please forgive me, ancestor!"
The sound is desolate, and those who hear it cannot bear it.
Jia Cong is not a hard-hearted person, and he has no intention of driving Xi Ren out of the house just like that. Second Brother Bao's first time was broken by her... Hehehehe!
"Oh, if it weren't for the fact that you usually serve Brother Bao with all your heart, I would have kicked you out of the house today!"
Jia Cong warned the attacker, then bowed to the old lady and said, "This Xiren is the maidservant next to Brother Bao after all. Brother Bao is already used to having her waiting around. If he drives Xiren out, Bao Why is the second brother causing a quarrel? The old lady should calm down and stick to the second brother Bao first, then demote her to a third-class maid and keep her for the time being."
Wang Xifeng glanced at Jia Cong in surprise, as if she didn't understand why Jia Cong suddenly changed his temper and begged for Xiren's mercy.
However, it was definitely right to follow Jia Cong's words, so she said: "Brother Cong is right, Xiren takes good care of Baoyu, I'm afraid Baoyu won't get used to being away from her for a while, strike two Ten board, downgrade, keep him, and fine him some monthly salary."
"You are the one who calls for punishment, and you are the one who pleads for mercy. I am the only evil person who co-authored it!"
Mother Jia looked at Jia Cong and Wang Xifeng with a displeased look on her face, and then at Xiren who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to beg for mercy. She pursed her lips and was slightly angry.
However, thinking that his good grandson would definitely look for the attacker when he came back soon, he gave up the idea of severely punishing the attacker: "Okay, it's giving me a headache. Little Feng, you can figure it out!"
As Jia Mu said these words, Xiren completely lost his strength, collapsed on the ground and started to cry: "Thank you, ancestor, for your mercy, thank you, ancestor for your mercy..."
…
Wang Xifeng's eyes were opened today. She watched the entire drama.
With her shrewdness, she naturally saw that Jia Cong was controlling the development of the whole thing step by step, including using words to arouse the emotions of the old lady and Baoyu.
It turns out that her brother-in-law is so powerful, it seems like she has to learn from him!
"Where is the second brother today? I asked him for help with something."
Jia Cong ran to Wang Xifeng and tugged on her sleeve. Wang Xifeng looked at the round face and pinched it with her hand.
At a time when etiquette is prevalent, this kind of intimacy is actually somewhat inappropriate, but Wang Xifeng felt itchy and wanted to squeeze it.
"Your second brother went to deliver the post early in the morning. You have received divine grace. Our family has to invite relatives and friends to come to the house to have fun. The old lady even sent the post to Beijing Prince's Palace and Nan'an Prince's Palace, but she didn't know Will people come here as a favor..."
Speaking of this, the expression on Wang Xifeng's face couldn't help but darken. She had known Jia Lian since she was a child, and she often came to Rongguo Mansion to play when she was a child.
I just remember that Jia Daishan was still there at that time, and the Rongguo Mansion was so prestigious. Among the four princes, eight princes and twelve princes, who dared not to give Rongguo Mansion face. Unfortunately, great things must come true. With the death of Jia Daishan and the incident of the first prince, the status of Rongguofu has plummeted, and now he has become a marginal figure in the martial arts circle.
Wang Xifeng sighed secretly, gathered her emotions and asked with a smile: "What are you looking for for your second brother?"
"I want my second brother to take me to Dongshi..."
…
The carriage creaked and creaked forward. Jia Lian had just returned home and before he could take a drink of water and rest, he was dragged into the carriage by Jia Cong.
He asked doubtfully: "What exactly are you trying to do by calling me out?"
"Second brother, don't worry, you will know when we get to the place."
Jia Cong looked mysterious and whispered in Jia Lian's ear: "Do you know the second brother of Yihonglou?"
"Ah! Ouch..."
Jia Lian screamed and stood up, his head immediately hit the roof of the car, covering his head and his eyes widened.
"What are you doing in a place like that? How old are you? Do you want your father to beat you or me?"
"Don't panic, don't panic..."
Jia Cong crawled forward and whispered in Jia Lian's ear for a long time. Jia Lian's expression turned from surprised at first to extremely solemn, and he asked hesitantly: "Is this true? Is this feasible?"
"You have to do it even if you don't. This is the task entrusted to me by His Majesty. When Brother Zhen offends someone who shouldn't be offended, he must let the noble person vent his anger!"
Jia Cong was also helpless. There were too many bad things in the Ningguo Mansion, so he had better deal with the fatal matter that the emperor said first.
Jia Lian seemed to still be digesting what Jia Cong told him. Even when the carriage drove to the gate of Dongshi, he still kept a solemn look and could not recover.
Jia Cong pulled Jia Lian's arm and persuaded: "Second brother, there is no room for negotiation on this matter. Father has already gone to see Uncle Jing. Before the day after tomorrow, we must settle the matter regarding Brother Zhen, otherwise If the Dongchuang Incident happens in the future, no one in our Jia family will be able to escape, so why should Brother Zhen be the patriarch of the Jia family?"
