In Jia She's Courtyard, Jia Mu and others retreated to the outer living room after looking at Jia She.
Let everyone else retreat, leaving only the masters of the two mansions and a mandarin duck serving Jia Mu.
"Boss and wife, please tell me the beginning and end of what happened today."
Hearing Jia Mu's question, Mrs. Xing walked out uneasily and explained everything from the time she heard Qiu Tong's scream to the time she rushed outside and saw everything.
"I heard that you adopted Yang's son as your own?"
Mrs. Jia's words made Mrs. "Old lady, my wife really doesn't know that Mrs. Yang has evil intentions. If she knew, my wife would never agree to her..."
Hearing this, Jia Mu suddenly sneered and said, "Humph, you don't know?
I think you know too much!
As the eldest lady, you should have the final say on all matters in this courtyard, big and small, and you should know everything! But you are like a fool, you only know how to flatter the men, regardless of whether what they say or do is good or bad, and you don't even dare to give advice.
It's even better now. I was played in the palm of my hand by such a stupid and vicious woman, and I even allowed her to do such vicious things, which almost caused a catastrophe. You just said "don't you know" when you look back?
In my opinion, you, the old lady, should just stop doing it, lest you be tricked and killed by the people below, and you still don’t know why! "
Mrs. Xing's face turned pale after being scolded, but she did not dare to argue. She could only kneel on the ground and kept saying, "My wife knows she was wrong." For a moment, the eldest lady's dignity was completely lost.
Seeing her like this, Mother Jia became even more angry: "You still dare to complain, saying that I am partial and only love your brother and his wife.
If you can't even manage the dozens of people here, how about switching over there?
Your brother and his wife are in charge of hundreds of people. In theory, the situation in your hospital is much more complicated. Why doesn't something like this happen there? Look at it this way, if I ask you to come over and serve me, I am afraid that I will be poisoned by someone one day, and you will just say that you don't know! "
Upon hearing the last words, Mrs.
Jia's mother was full of dissatisfaction with Mrs. Xing, but she cared that Jia Zhen and his wife were still here, so she didn't say anything more. She raised her head and said to everyone: "Since Yang has such evil thoughts, he will die. But she can't be allowed to ruin the Jia family's reputation.
After you go back, restrain the people in the house and do not allow this matter to be spread outside...
By the way, is there anyone else in the Yang family? "
Mrs.
Jia Mu thought for a while, as if considering something, and finally said: "Send them to Zhuangzi in the north."
Jia Mu wanted to calm things down as much as possible and didn't want to make a big fuss, so she just sent the people away.
As for the revenge of orphans and widowed mothers, don't be ridiculous. He is just a slave. He can do a lot of work for his master. Once it is useless, it will be good to survive in this world.
Even if they were given ten lifetimes, they would not be able to turn over.
When Mrs. Xing responded, Jia Mu said again: "There is also Mr. Cong..."
When everyone heard the mention of Jia Cong, their expressions were a little complicated.
He was originally a bastard who received no attention, but now that her mother has committed such a crime, it is conceivable that his life in the house will be difficult in the future. In fact, Jia Lian may not be able to tolerate this concubine...
However, Jia Cong was of Jia She's bloodline no matter what, and everyone was embarrassed to answer.
Mrs. Xing doesn't want to find anyone to take care of her in the future. The Yang mother and son almost killed her, so after hearing this, she immediately said: "When I turn around, I will send Mr. Cong back immediately..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that Jia Cong had nothing to give away now. It seemed that this thing was in his own hands!
Sure enough, Jia Mu hummed: "Send it back to whom? His biological mother is dead, aren't you his mother?"
No wonder the people in the house are dissatisfied with you. Look at you, do you act like a big lady?
From now on, you will educate him. I saw that Cong was no longer young and had reached the age of going to school, so I asked him to study at home, hoping that he would understand some principles in the future. "
Mrs. Xing had no choice but to agree.
After saying these things, Jia's mother took the car back.
After Jia Zhen, Youshi and others returned to Ningguo Mansion, they held a small meeting about today's events. They just marveled and sighed. Finally, Jia Zhen said to Jia Rong: "I see that your second uncle Lian Coming back from the border this time, maybe he had experienced fighting on the battlefield, and he seemed to be a changed person. He was not as kind as before, but a little more ruthless.
Now he has made the palm seal of the Bingma Si Yamen. When you see him in the future, you should be more respectful and don't offend him!
I heard from people in the palace that the emperor took a fancy to him, so he kept giving him official posts. From now on, I am afraid that even I will have to give him a little more face. You all should be more careful. If you offend me easily, be careful with your skin. "
Jia Zhen said this to Jia Rong and the housekeepers.
Jia Rong and others had long been shocked by today's incident. Seeing Jia Zhen saying this, they dared to have any objections and nodded repeatedly.
Only Youshi, who was sitting above, had strange emotions in his eyes... Probably, this was what he said, at least to make Jia Zhen fear him. Unexpectedly, he did it so quickly.
Thinking of the scene today where Jia Lian looked down upon all the family elders, while Jia Mu and others were clearly dissatisfied but had nothing to do with him, You couldn't help but feel a little wet. She seemed eager to know what would happen next time she and Jia Lian met alone. What's up.
…
Jia Lian finished handling the matters in Dongkua Courtyard, and it was almost dusk.
He went in and reported the results to Mrs. Xing. Mrs. Xing had no objection at all and was extremely polite to him.
During this period, Jia She also woke up once, but no one dared to tell him what happened in the afternoon, so Jia She did not show any abnormality. He just treated Jia Lian with eyes that were not eyes and nose that was not nose.
Jia Lian naturally didn't care about this. He symbolically arranged things in his house and brought Ping'er and Aqi to the main courtyard.
Wang Xifeng was worried about Ping'er and stayed here to take care of him.
"Second Master, please come over, old lady..."
The housekeeper Lin Zhixiao rushed over and saluted Jia Lian respectfully before speaking.
Jia Lian took Ping'er to Jia Mu's side.
Lin Zhixiao also followed, preparing to escort Jia Lian to the second gate, but found that Jia Lian looked back at him twice in a row.
Lin Zhixiao muttered in his heart, but couldn't ask questions. Finally, he noticed that Jia Lian stopped and turned around. He immediately stopped and stood aside.
"I heard someone say that you have a daughter named Xiaohong?"
"Xiaohong?" Lin Zhixiao didn't react for a moment, and then nodded immediately: "Back to the second master, I do have a daughter named Hong...Xiaohong, what do you want the second master to do with her?"
In fact, his daughter's name is Lin Hongyu, and the couple usually calls them "Hongyu" and "Xiaoyu". I don't know where Jia Lian heard the name "Xiaohong" from. But the second master is the master. If he wants to call him Xiaohong, then he will be Xiaohong. valley
"How old is she?"
"Back to the second master, he is exactly thirteen years old this year."
Lin Zhixiao was already a little suspicious. Could it be that Second Master Lian had fallen in love with his daughter? He suddenly felt a little excited in his heart.
They have only one daughter, and they love her like a treasure. Otherwise, they wouldn't have named her "Jade".
However, although he is the second housekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion, he is still just a slave. No matter how much he loves his daughter, she is destined to be a slave Yangzi. Even with their status as a couple, they would have to send their daughter to the house to be a maid in two years at most.
The couple originally thought that Mr. Bao had a good personality and was kind to his maids, so they planned to send their daughter to serve Jia Baoyu. It's just that I haven't found a suitable opportunity, and my daughter is still young, so I want to stay with him for two more years as much as possible.
Now that Jia Lian actually asked about his daughter, he suddenly had another thought.
Speaking of which, if it had been the first two years, he would have hesitated in his heart. After all, no one knows how powerful Wang Xifeng is better than them!
It's just that today's Second Master Lian is different from the past. Not only is the official becoming more and more powerful, but even Second Mistress Lian seems to be convinced.
In this case, it is obvious that the return from investing in Mr. Lian is much greater than investing in Mr. Bao...
Jia Lian didn't expect that her two casual questions would make Lin Zhixiao think about so much. She just suddenly remembered that in the original work, there was a girl named Xiaohong in Yihongyuan. She was very smart and spoke and acted quickly. Even Wang Xifeng praised her. .
He thought that since Wang Xifeng couldn't change her meddling problem, in order to prevent her from exhausting herself, it would be better to find more capable subordinates for her, which would also relieve her need for employment.
After all, this girl is still treating him well now, she is quite obedient, and she is so busy that she is willing to leave Ping'er to his use.
Therefore, in order to reciprocate love, you should also return some favor to her.
So he said to Lin Zhixiao: "At the age of thirteen, it's almost time to enter the mansion. It just so happens that your second grandma still lacks a few capable people, so why don't you give up your daughter and send her to your second grandma to wait for her? handle?"
"I'm willing to give up, why can't I give up? I will take my place for my daughter Hong...My daughter Xiaohong is very grateful to the second master and the second grandma for their cultivation. After returning, I will immediately send her to the second master and the second grandma to wait for their orders..."
Lin Zhixiao knelt down neatly on the ground and kowtowed to Jia Lian, as if he had received such great grace.
When Jia Lian saw this, he realized that Lin Zhixiao might have misunderstood something.
She doesn’t really care. If her daughter is really good-looking and capable of accomplishing things, it’s not impossible for her to accomplish them in the future...
But I definitely can't show any of this intention now, otherwise Wang Xifeng will definitely not accept his favor!
After discussing this matter, Lin Zhixiao left with a smile, obviously going back to talk to his wife and daughter about this matter.
Ping'er watched the "transfer of benefits" in front of him, frowning and thinking about it, wanting to say it but not saying it.
Jia Lian quickly noticed her expression, reached out and pinched her cheek, explaining his thoughts to her.
"Did the second master really mean what he said?"
Ping'er was completely surprised.
She also thought that Jia Lian had met Lin Zhixiao's daughter by chance, or had heard about it and had an idea in mind, so she came over.
Who knew that he was so loyal and thinking about his second mistress?
Ping'er didn't doubt that Jia Lian was lying. After all, no one knew better than her how nosy Wang Xifeng was!
Even if her father-in-law Jia She was so ill, she would rather run back and forth several times a day than be left behind on errands in the house. This shows!
If it is true, as Jia Lian said, that he is looking for help for the second mistress, that would be great... The key is not a little girl, but the second master's thoughts about the second mistress. The two of them finally come to the point where they can help each other. It’s great that you consider the other person’s interests.
…
After Jia Mu came back from Dongkuoyuan, she felt uneasy no matter what she thought.
They called Jia Zheng and his wife alone and discussed for a long time, but they didn't come up with a serious idea.
Whether they wanted to believe it or not, Jia Lian was almost out of their control.
In fact, for Jia Mu, she doesn't care at all who is in charge of the family. After all, they are all her descendants, and whoever is in charge will worship her.
She just doesn't want to see that the huge Duke's Mansion, which has been stable under her for decades, will fall apart in the future, and even the horrific incident of kinship killings like today will happen again!
Therefore, she wanted to ask Jia Lian to come over and test Jia Lian's inner thoughts in person.
Not long after, Jia Mu came out of Nuan Pavilion when she heard Jia Lian coming.
As soon as they came out, they saw Yingchun, Daiyu and others surrounding Jia Lian, and Jia Lian also changed from his stern look in the afternoon. His handsome face was filled with a warm smile, as if he was explaining something to his sisters...
Jia's mother thought to herself that seeing how harmonious Jia Lian was to his brothers and sisters, he must not be a cruel person. The reason why he was so cruel today was because he was poisoned, so he was frightened and angry.
Thinking of this, Jia Mu breathed a sigh of relief, came to the front, and sat down slowly.
Jia Lian and others also stopped talking and came forward to greet her.
"Have everything been settled over there?" Jia Mu asked.
Jia Lian nodded and briefly explained his handling method.
According to the seriousness of the circumstances and the level of knowledge of the people involved, those who should be punished should be punished, and those who should be punished should be punished. It is in line with the rules. Jia Mu nodded and said softly: "It will be difficult for you today." ...Sit down..."
Jia Mu originally wanted to comfort Jia Lian with a few words, but because Yingchun and others were present, she could not tell them such shocking things.
So far, Daiyu and others only know that something big happened in Dongkua Courtyard, and it was about Jia Lian. No one dared to tell them in detail what it was like. Of course, how much they can guess depends on them.
"Wife-in-law Zhu'er, take Baoyu and the others to the teahouse and sit down. I'll have a few words with him alone."
As soon as Li Wan heard what Jia Mu said, he knew that what he was going to say next was not suitable for them to listen to, so he agreed and asked Jia Baoyu and others to leave.
Yingchun and others were a little worried, after all, they rarely saw Jia Mu act so solemnly.
Daiyu even shed tears secretly when she first heard about Jia Lian's accident. She felt slightly better just now when she saw that Jia Lian was indeed well.
"Go ahead, you're really worried about me. You'll be a guest in my house soon." Jia Lian smiled and raised his hand to them.
In fact, he had just met Daiyu for the first time, and seeing that there were obvious signs of crying on her face and that she showed great concern for him, he had already felt greatly comforted. It feels wonderful and unique to be cared for, especially by a fairy like Lin Daiyu.
Of course, there are also my sisters to welcome the spring, and my cousins to visit and appreciate the spring. They are not bad, they are all good children...
