As the mastermind behind the scenes, Zhu Jingyuan has been paying attention to the situation. When Deng An left Dong'anmen and went to Jia's house, he also received news from Chengming Palace.
"Old Thirteen was so angry that he was persuaded to come down?" Zhu Jingyuan thought he heard wrongly.
In his expectation, Zhu Jinghong would be furious when he learned about the situation, and he would naturally go to Jia's house to provoke a fight.
Chen Zhi on the side couldn't help but said: "It's that girl from the Xue family again!"
"Old Thirteen is really loyal. The Xue family saved his life, as if the favor was not enough!"
"The girl from the Xue family persuaded him to come down with just a few words!"
Listening to Chen Zhi's words, Zhu Jingyuan felt very uncomfortable and was so angry that he wanted to smash things again.
"Miscalculation, miscalculation this time!" Zhu Jingyuan was annoyed.
Just listen to Chen Zhi say: "The matter has come to this, how to remedy it?"
Zhu Jingyuan said helplessly: "The key to getting things done this time is to take advantage of Lao Shisan's impulsive character. Now that he has been persuaded...that's what happened!"
It was impossible for him to find another gang of gangsters to embarrass the Qin family in the name of the Jia family. Doing so would be too deliberate and would arouse Zhu Jinghong's suspicion.
Chen Zhi asked: "Qin Ye has sued the county government, do we want to add fuel to the fire?"
Zhu Jingyuan shook his head and said: "Forget it...it's just a casual move, let's not get in too deep!"
"Now...I think the fourth child also knows the situation, but I don't know how he will react!" Chen Zhi said thoughtfully.
Sitting next to Chen Zhi, Zhu Jingyuan took a sip of hot tea and said, "Donggong has no contact with the Jia family. I'm afraid he doesn't know yet..."
"Just a few days ago, the old man sent him more than a dozen boxes of memorials and comments, asking him to sort out the context and analyze the situation. The fourth child was so absorbed in it that he probably didn't have the time to pay attention to other things!"
"What kind of memorials are these? Could it be that the Holy Emperor gave him an important task?" Chen Zhi was alerted.
Lao Liu had really paid attention to this matter. I only heard him reply: "They are all memorials of local officials. There are all kinds of messy things. I can't see what the old man has any deep meaning!"
"When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. I don't think it's that simple!" Chen Zhi frowned.
"Don't worry about the fourth child. As for the thirteenth... I have found a way to control him."
"any solution?"
"Since ancient times, heroes have loved beauties. Now that Thirteen has grown up, it is right to like beautiful women!"
"I've seen that girl from the Xue family. She really has the beauty of a country and a city. I think Old Thirteen likes her, so I obey her words!"
Chen Zhi did not deny this speculation. She asked with confusion on her face: "But... what does this have to do with pinching Lao Shisan?"
"Why don't we just find a woman with good model and good character to be his princess? We have discussed this matter before!"
Chen Zhi had no expression on her face and said extremely calmly: "Don't bother, my mother has already decided on this matter!"
"You mean Ting Yatou?"
Seeing Chen Zhi nodding, Zhu Jingyuan smiled and said: "In the end, it is Lao Shisan who will choose. If he doesn't like Ting Yatou, the Queen Mother may not be able to do anything to her!"
…………
Not to mention how Zhu Jingyuan and his wife discussed it, the Ningguo Mansion was already in chaos.
Under the persuasion of Jia She and his son, Jia Zhen brought gifts early in the morning and went to Qin's house to agree to break off the engagement.
However, when she arrived outside the Qin family's house, Jia Zhen didn't even go in, and was scolded by the Qin family's father and son.
No matter how Jia Zhen explained it, Qin Ye couldn't listen to a word and decided that what happened last night was his fault.
In desperation, Jia Zhen had to go back to her hometown to discuss countermeasures.
Qin Ye's injuries couldn't be faked. If the other party really wanted to make trouble at all costs, Jia Zhen would have to shed her skin even if she didn't die.
"I will report this to Master Thirteen. How will you end it when I see it?"
Thinking of Qin Ye's last words, Jia Zhen in the sedan became more and more frightened as she thought about it, with beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.
When he returned to Ningguo Mansion, several principals of the Jia family were still there, and they were all chatting and laughing in a relaxed atmosphere.
But when they saw Jia Zhen appearing outside the living room with sloppy steps and a pale face, everyone in the room was stunned.
"Brother Zhen, this is..."
Before Jia Lian finished speaking, Jia Zhen fell to the ground just as she was about to enter, causing everyone in the room to exclaim.
"Hurry up!" Jia She ordered everyone around.
Immediately, a boy came forward and helped the extremely weak Jia Zhen up.
Seeing that his expression was wrong, Jia She immediately asked: "What's going on?"
"Master, something happened..."
Jia Zhen was about to cry but had no tears at the moment. The majesty she felt when she beat up Jia Rong yesterday was gone.
"what happened?"
"Yesterday evening, a group of thieves claimed to be instigated by me and went to the Qin family to threaten them not to break off the engagement. They made the Qin family a mess and Qin Ye himself was injured!"
"When I went this morning, the Qin family had already reported the case to the government. Qin Ye scolded me and then went into the palace to see the Thirteenth Master!"
"If Master Thirteen knew about this, I'm afraid..."
It's just that Jia Zhen didn't say anything because he was afraid of facing the result.
At this moment, everyone in the Jia Mansion looked solemn, and everyone felt a big stone in their hearts.
From half a year ago to now, the Jia family has been in trouble, but now they are in trouble like this again.
"I said yesterday that to ensure safety, we should make the trip on the same day. You went out and fooled around all day yesterday, wasting time in vain... and yet you caused such trouble!"
For a moment, Jia She was so anxious that he wanted to beat Jia Zhen up.
At this moment, Aunt Xue, Mrs. Jia Mu Wang, accompanied by Aunt Xue, walked out surrounded by a group of girls.
They were drinking tea in the inner hall and came out to take a look when they heard the noise.
"Zhen'er...has everything been done?" Jia Mu asked with a smile.
Jia Zhen knelt down on the ground with a "plop" and said with tears streaming down her face; "My ancestor... my grandson... my grandson is just a fool and a useless person!"
Seeing his appearance, Jia Mu and the others were shocked for a moment, knowing that something bad must have happened.
"What's going on? Tell me quickly!!"
There was no way, Jia Zhen could only tell the situation again, so Jia's mother and others were also shocked.
"How...how could this happen? Who wants to harm us?" In anger, Jia Mu kept hammering her cane, making a loud "dong dong" sound at the scene.
"Old ancestor...you have to save me. If the Thirteenth Master gets angry, my grandson may even lose his life!" Jia Zhen knelt down in front of Jia Mu.
There is no way, Jia's mother has the highest rank here and is the elder, Jia Zhen can only use her as a life-saving straw.
Jia Mu also knew the seriousness of the matter and was extremely anxious at the moment, but she couldn't think of a countermeasure for a while.
At this time, Mrs. Xing suddenly said: "Ancestor, see if you can ask the elder girl for help!"
The eldest girl she mentioned was Yuanchun, which made Mrs. Wang on the side very dissatisfied.
"Yuan Chun is so scared in the East Palace, walking on thin ice, how can he care about these things!"
She was defending her daughter by saying this, and also added trouble to Mrs. Xing, which made Mrs. Wang, who had been suppressed recently, feel very happy.
Mrs. Xing was about to tell the difference when she heard an exclamation from outside: "Master and Madam, someone is coming from the palace!"
"It's the father-in-laws!"
After hearing this, everyone in the Jia family couldn't sit still, so they all went out to greet him.
As for Jia Mu and other female relatives, they are all waiting inside the house. It is not convenient for them to go out.
This was Deng An's third visit to Rongguo Mansion. Jia She and his son had already recognized him, so they immediately greeted him with smiles on their faces.
"Eunuch Deng, why are you here!"
Deng An didn't look good. He snorted coldly and said, "Why I'm here, you know better than me!"
Looking around at the men of the Jia family, Deng An said coldly: "Where is Jia Zhen? The Thirteenth Master has something to tell him!"
Upon hearing the greeting, Jia Zhen quickly squeezed to the front and paid homage to Deng An: "Your Majesty, Jia Zhen, pay homage to the Thirteenth Master!"
"Jia Zhen, the Thirteenth Master said that if it weren't for Miss Xue's face..."
"Your head...has moved!"
Deng An's harsh tone made Jia Zhen tremble with fear. Few people can remain calm when their lives are at stake.
"Thank you...Thank you, Thirteenth Master, sir..."
Before Jia Zhen could finish her words, Deng An continued: "The Thirteenth Master said that he will only give you three days..."
"After three days, if you can't give me an explanation, you will have to weigh the consequences yourself!"
