Jia Baoyu spent the whole night in panic. He was in a coma and screamed wildly from time to time, so that Xiren Qingwen, who took care of him, could not rest in peace.
As morning approached, Jia Baoyu gradually became quiet, but the situation became more serious because he already had a high fever.
So all the girls had to report to Mrs. Wang and called the boys out to ask the doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
Facing the emperor's wrath, not to mention an older child like Jia Baoyu, but also a cabinet minister who had been in high and low officialdom for decades, were still trembling with fear and fear.
Everyone in Baoyu Courtyard was busy working non-stop, while Jia Zheng and his wife on the other side were looking sad and in a trance.
After a debate last night, even though Jia's mother tried her best to protect them, they could not retain their power as housekeepers. Now Jia She has the final say in everything in Jia's house.
After some deliberation, both Jia Zheng brothers went to the table to apologize and first made a gesture of admitting their mistakes.
At this time, Jia Zheng was sitting behind the writing desk, writing and thinking deeply about how to write the memorial.
"Baoyu's high fever persists, what should we do?"
Mrs. Wang hurried into the study, interrupting Jia Zheng's thinking.
"Just ask a good doctor for diagnosis and treatment!" Jia Zheng said angrily.
His anger came from Mrs. Wang, not Jia Baoyu.
"Master, don't you go and take a look?"
Jia Zheng replied: "The confession form must be handed in before noon, but it has not been finalized yet!"
Mrs. Wang asked with a cold face: "Isn't it important for my son to have a memorial?"
Slapping the pen on the table, Jia Zheng stood up angrily: "If the Holy Spirit is angry, let alone the precious jade, our family will not be able to save it!"
He didn't understand why his wife couldn't understand such an obvious truth.
Logically speaking, it was unreasonable, but she lost her housekeeping rights again. Mrs. Wang was so angry that she ran away from the study with tears in her eyes.
Looking at his old wife's leaving back, Jia Zheng couldn't help but sigh, and then sat back down again.
Besides, after Mrs. Wang left, she led people to Baoyu's residence. At this moment, the doctor was already treating her.
Before Mrs. Wang could ask any questions, Mrs. Xing rushed over with someone.
"Madam, the eldest lady is here!"
Upon hearing the report, Mrs. Wang turned around and saw Mrs. Xing already entering the room.
"Sister, what's going on? It's so easy to settle down, why do these troubles happen again?"
In the past, Mrs. Xing would never have been so arrogant, let alone talked about Baoyu in front of Mrs. Wang.
Nowadays, the situation has really changed... This is the voice of the maids and women present.
When the family is in turmoil, it stands to reason that there should be no quarrels and internal strife, and that the right thing to do is to work together in the same boat.
But it has to be said that now is a good time to raise an army to investigate the crime, so as to bring Mrs. Wang's face to a maximum extent, and at the same time let everyone in the mansion see clearly that things have changed in Rongguo Mansion.
In the final analysis, Mrs. Xing's pattern was not enough. She just did what she should do within the scope of her knowledge.
Walking up to Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing sighed and said, "Sister, you know that there are a lot of things going on at home now, and troubles are happening one after another. Don't blame me for speaking out!"
"Since my ancestors asked me to take care of the house, I can no longer be the same as before. I have to pick up some rules!"
"What exactly do you want to say?" Mrs. Wang couldn't help it, her tone was impatient.
Even though he no longer cares about the family, he is still the legitimate daughter of the Wang family, but he still looks down upon Mrs. Xing, a step-brother from a small family.
Seeing Mrs. Wang's arrogant look, Mrs. Xing was furious. She had suffered from this anger for many years.
"This one, all the girls in Baoyu's room have to be replaced. It's only because of these people's carelessness that Baoyu was also ruined!"
Mrs. Xing's move was so cruel that she evacuated everyone from Baoyu's room. How could it be better if her people replaced her?
But her words made Xi Ren and others feel uneasy, fearing that they would be driven out of the inner house, which would be like falling from the clouds to the mortal world.
"No!" Mrs. Wang stared at Mrs. Xing coldly.
"Sister, I am also doing this for Baoyu's good. Look at what this good man has become after being instigated by them."
"A few days ago, there was an imperial censor who impeached our family, saying that the family tradition was unhealthy... You have forgotten everything, right?"...
With the power of the housekeeper in her hands, Mrs.
"you……"
Seeing that Mrs. Wang was so angry, Mrs. Xing felt so happy, so she said with a smile: "If my sister feels that my arrangement is not appropriate, you can tell your ancestors and take away my power as a housekeeper!"
Now that the power of the housekeeper has been transferred, it is impossible to take it back casually. After all, Jia Mu still wants to face it.
"Secondly, sisters have fixed rules for their monthly payments, so there should be such rules in Baoyu's room. In the past, even if there was more money, you have to receive it according to the amount in the future!"
Mrs. Xing acted very generously, but what she said did not anger Mrs. Wang to death.
"Have you finished speaking? When you're finished speaking, get out of here quickly!" Mrs. Wang scolded her harshly, not even caring about her face at this moment.
The two sisters-in-law had a dispute, and soon Jia's mother was alerted to come over to check. The final result was that both of them were reprimanded.
Of course, Mother Jia agreed to all the requests made by Mrs. Xing.
However, when replacing the maid, Baoyu suddenly woke up from a coma and wanted to keep Xiren and others alive.
After Baoyu cried and cried, Jia Mu's love for her was overflowing, and Xiren Qingwen and others were left behind.
This process confirmed that Mrs. Wang had not lost favor in Jia Mu's heart, which would be an important basis for her to regain the power of the housekeeper.
Under Jia Mu's suppression, the storm passed like this.
Through this farce, the girls and women in the Rongguo Mansion truly realized that the government had changed, and they would have to go to the East Crossing Courtyard more often in the future.
Mrs. Xing's goal was achieved, but she still felt unhappy. When she returned to the courtyard, she ordered the housekeepers' wives to come over and lecture her.
Everyone came, but Wang Xifeng, who was actually in charge of the housekeeper's affairs, was ignored by Mrs. Xing.
"Second Grandma, over at Dongkua Courtyard... do you want to go there?" In the courtyard, Ping'er was worried.
Wang Xifeng shook his head: "Since the eldest lady didn't invite me, wouldn't I be asking for trouble if I went there?"
"But if you don't go, and if the eldest lady asks, I'm afraid grandma will end up in trouble again!"
Wang Xifeng's face was gloomy: "Sooner or later there will be an attack, I would rather she come earlier!"
Of course, she was not afraid of this at all, just because she had been relying on the housekeeper for many years.
There are people in each house in the house, as well as the mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who are in charge of various affairs. It is not easy to sort out these small groups without their own.
In Wang Xifeng's view, Mrs. Xing's ability would definitely be too much. The house would be in a mess, and she would not be asked to take care of it.
Of course, the reason why Wang Xifeng did not go to Dongkuoyuan was because she did not want to offend Mrs. Wang.
In Wang Xifeng's view, the Wang family of the four major families is now in great power, and Mrs. Wang will have a chance to take power sooner or later.
"Second Master Lian is back!"
Seeing Jia Lian coming back from outside, Wang Xifeng stood up and went out to greet him: "You are back, but the whole family is in turmoil!"
"What do you say, Mr. Jing?"
Although Jia Jing has become a monk, he must still be told about such a big thing happening in the Jia family.
Jia Lian replied: "Oh... Master Jing said that we should be very careful about this matter. It is not enough to just plead guilty. Let me resign directly and plead guilty!"
"What? Resign? What did the master say?" Wang Xifeng was extremely shocked.
After taking the tea from Ping'er, Jia Lian sat on the chair and said slowly: "Master Jing has already said it, and my father also said so. Brother Zhen has no objection, so what else can I do!"
At this moment, Wang Xifeng's thoughts changed.
If Jia Zheng resigns, it is not impossible that their lineage will completely decline.
The eldest lady is discussing something at the moment. Do you want to go there and support her?
