After traveling through time, Zhu Jinghong was rarely this angry.
Just because he had everything going smoothly from beginning to end, at least on the surface, no one dared to disobey him, but they didn't want to be slapped in the face by Jia Zhen.
The news was just passed yesterday. In the evening of the same day, Jia Zhen found someone and went to Qin's house to smash and threaten him. He didn't take Zhu Jinghong seriously.
Is Jia Zhen already obsessed with marrying Qin Keqing?
Thinking of the bad things this guy had done, Zhu Jinghong also felt that it was possible that this guy was a crazy person.
"Brother Thirteen, what's wrong?" Zhu Yunsheng was the only one who dared to ask.
Baochai on the side, when he heard the word Jia Zhen, could easily think of Brother Zhen from Ningguo Mansion.
After looking at Baochai, Zhu Jinghong said: "Yesterday, Qin Ye, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry, came to me and said that Ning Guofu's family tradition was not upright and he wanted to break off the engagement..."
"I have always been aware of the situation in Ningguo Mansion, so I accepted the matter and asked the guards to tell the Jia family..."
Seeing that it was indeed the Jia family, Xue Baochai became very energetic. She memorized everything Zhu Jinghong said.
"I just reported it yesterday. Yesterday afternoon... Jia Zhen found some gangsters and went to Qin's house to beat people and threaten them. Just now Qin Ye sued to Chengmingyuan!"
"Jia Zhen, this bastard, I think he is tired of living!"
A powerful general of the third rank, a first-class baron granted by the imperial court, could be crushed to death at will by Zhu Jinghong...
Although this was expected, hearing Zhu Jinghong say it so lightly still shocked Baochai.
In this Ming Dynasty, no matter the dignitaries or dignitaries, they are just slaves of the Zhu family... Baochai couldn't help but sigh.
"Thirteenth Master, this matter... I'm afraid..." In Zhu Jinghong's rage, Baochai had to carefully consider his words.
Putting aside his anger, Zhu Jinghong said in a calm tone: "Miss Xue, speak directly if you have anything to say, we are not so divided!"
Baochai, Thirteenth Master doesn’t know how to eat people, you can do it, don’t be afraid...
Cheering himself up in his heart, Xue Baochai plucked up the courage and said, "Thirteenth Master, I stayed at Jia's house for a few days, and I know a little bit about them!"
"Although the Jia family has its shortcomings, they are extremely respectful to the royal family and will never dare to be disrespectful in the slightest!"
After a pause, Baochai boldly looked at Zhu Jinghong and said with a lot of compliments: "Besides, the Thirteenth Master is so prestigious. Even if Ningguo Mansion has taken the courage of a leopard, it will not dare to confront you!"
It must be said that Baochai's words were reasonable and well-founded, which aroused Zhu Jinghong's thinking.
Seeing that he was listening attentively, Baochai couldn't help but feel more confident and said, "So I thought that there might be some hidden reason behind this matter!"
From the perspective of the Xue family, who are both ministers and common people, Jia Zhen could only be crazy and commit such "disobedient" behavior.
Jia Zhen suddenly went crazy? Xue Baochai thought it was impossible, so she thought there must be a hidden secret.
"What's the secret?"
This was hard for Baochai to answer because she had already said too much.
But since Zhu Jinghong asked, Baochai had to answer even if he was in trouble.
"As far as... my daughter knows, the Jia family in the capital has offended many people overtly or covertly. Could it be..."
This is indeed a more reasonable explanation, and it is difficult for a boudoir woman like her to think of this.
At this moment, Zhu Jinghong also calmed down. If he thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case. Jia Zhen would not dare to do this unless he was crazy.
Even if he is crazy, as long as the two brothers Jia She are still conscious, they will never allow him to be a fool.
After traveling smoothly, he developed an arrogant and domineering character. He actually neglected to think calmly. It was indeed easy to make mistakes... Zhu Jinghong began to reflect.
Following the ideas proposed by Baochai, Zhu Jinghong had already thought of some possibility.
If it wasn't Jia Zhen's fault and he could arrange these things so quickly, the person behind the scenes must be very powerful and have an informant in Jia's family.
So who is this person? Who has the motive to stir up trouble?
The answer is self-evident. Except for the troublemaker Lao Liu, Zhu Jinghong really can't think of anyone else.
If it was Lao Liu who set up the trap, then the nature of this matter would have changed!
What is the purpose of Lao Liu? Of course, he used the Jia family to separate himself from the prince...
"As a reckless person, if I don't plunge into this trap, this character will not survive!" Zhu Jinghong sighed inwardly.
Compared with the quarrel with the prince, his "reckless and harmless" persona of Zhu Jinghong is undoubtedly more important.
Is there no way to get the best of both worlds? It can maintain the character without breaking with the prince.
Seeing Zhu Jinghong's uncertain expression, Xue Baochai couldn't help but worry about the Jia family. After all, the Xue family was related to them.
As for Yang Jingting and Zhen Qin, they were not touched at all. After all, they were just bystanders.
Emotionally speaking, being both women makes them prefer the Qin family, so they also hope that Zhu Jinghong can severely punish the Jia family.
After a few breaths, Zhu Jinghong said slowly: "What Miss Xue said does make some sense!"
What if it was Xue Baochai who tried to persuade him? It will not affect his personality, and at the same time it can cool things down... Zhu Jinghong thought to himself.
Since Lao Liu had set up a trap, among the dozens of eunuchs and maids around him, there was a high probability that his spies were among them.
These people all saw the situation that Baochai persuaded just now, and they will probably report it to Lao Liu!
Thinking of this, Zhu Jinghong already had an idea, so he continued: "So...Miss Xue has saved my life. For Miss Xue's sake, I will give that bastard Jia Zhen another chance!"
This was said to the surrounding "eyes", but it also moved Baochai very much. She did not expect that she still had such weight in Zhu Jinghong's heart.
After all, Zhu Jinghong has thanked him several times for the so-called "life-saving grace", and the favor has almost been repaid.
Ignoring Baochai's "imagination", Zhu Jinghong ordered: "Deng An... go to Jia's house in person and tell him that if it weren't for Miss Xue's face, I would want his head now!"
When Zhu Jinghong went to the Jia family to pick up the treasure hairpin, Zhu Jinghong was afraid that Zhaoming Palace had no "eyes" and planned to use the Jia family's "eyes" to spread the word.
After all, he was the one who sent him there. Lao Liu's spy in the Jia family would definitely pass on everything Deng An said to Lao Liu.
At this moment, Zhu Jinghong was talking with murderous intent, and he was no longer as amiable as before. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a different person.
This frightened Zhen and Yang into disgrace, and also allowed them to get to know Zhu Jinghong more comprehensively.
Baochai, on the other hand, was not surprised by Zhu Jinghong's appearance because of the foreshadowing of the events in Jinling.
"Tell him, I'll give him three days to give me an explanation!"
"Did you hear that clearly?" Zhu Jinghong asked coldly.
"Listen... listen clearly!" Deng An answered quickly, his expression full of panic.
After Deng An left, the atmosphere was still solemn.
At this moment, Zhu Yunsheng was heard saying: "Brother Thirteen, why should we go to war over such a trivial matter?"
With so many people present, she was the only one who dared to say these words.
"Is it possible that because of these things, the nature of today's play was ruined?" Zhu Yunsheng became more and more dissatisfied.
Zhu Jinghong forced a smile and said: "What Third Sister said is that you really shouldn't be angry with these people. Let's continue... continue the cruise!"
Of course, this is also for outsiders to see, in order to give Lao Liu a reasonable explanation.
So everyone walked out of Chengming Palace, got on the boat and went boating on the lake. The atmosphere was leisurely and comfortable, which was in sharp contrast to just now.
As Zhu Jinghong expected, one of the dozen or so young eunuchs left on the shore quietly left to report the news.
