After all, she is just a little girl, and her attraction to Jia Lian is limited.
After simply teaching her two moves, Jia Lian came out of Ning Xuantang.
As soon as he arrived at the compound, he saw the housekeeper coming looking for him, saying that Jia Zheng and others were looking for him.
It's because of Youshi.
Youshi acted very quickly. After getting the assurance from Jia Lian, he immediately spread the news that she was pregnant.
At this critical moment, this news even suppressed the fact that Jia Rong committed suicide in prison out of fear of crime.
Jia Jing was originally planning to discuss with Jia Zheng and others about which clan to choose as his heir to support the lintel of Ningguo Mansion.
Jia Jing was very surprised when he heard the news.
No one wants to have no descendants, not even Jia Jing, who is dedicated to seeking enlightenment.
If you can have biological descendants to inherit the family business, who would want to find one from a side branch?
Although You may not be pregnant with a son this time, it is finally possible, right?
Even for him, when he thought of handing over his ancestor's inheritance to the children of the partial lineage, he still felt very uncomfortable. He felt that he was an unworthy descendant, unworthy of his father and unworthy of his grandfather!
Therefore, if the daughter-in-law can give birth to a son this time, it is natural that her own grandson should inherit the family business.
With this thought in his mind, Jia Jing no longer had the idea of adopting a child from his clan.
Jia Zheng also saw what Jia Jing was thinking. He said, "In that case, please let me stay at home to support the family for the time being. After my daughter-in-law gives birth, we won't worry about this anymore."
When Jia Jing heard this, he felt a little embarrassed.
Youshi has only been pregnant for a month, and there is still more than half a year left before giving birth. However, thinking that Jia Zheng's statement was reasonable and for the sake of Ning Guofu, he could only nod reluctantly: "That's all."
Seeing that the most intense thing that was supposed to be discussed suddenly ended like this, one couldn't help but become suspicious.
"It stands to reason that my sister-in-law has been married to Brother Zhen for so many years and has nothing to do. Why did she get pregnant at this time?"
One person started, and several people immediately joined in.
They all come by smell.
The Ningguo Mansion has cut off its inheritance. If they can send their son or grandson in, it will be a chance for them to make a comeback!
They had long planned to fight for it, so why were they willing to lose the opportunity like this?
So one by one they began to make malicious speculations. If they weren't worried about Jia Jing sitting on it, they would probably have said many more unpleasant things.
Everyone present was not stupid. Although it seemed that they were just complaining, everyone soon understood that they were doubting the purity of the blood in Youshi's belly!
Jia Jing's face suddenly turned ugly.
If these people were just making completely unfounded speculations, he could naturally rebuke them angrily.
However, upon reflection, he felt that everyone's suspicion was not completely unreasonable.
Come to think of it, my son and grandson are always messing around at home. Under such circumstances, it is not impossible for my daughter-in-law...
"snort!"
While everyone was talking about it, Jia Lian walked in from the door.
With a cold face, he walked to the front, looked around at everyone, and sneered: "Nowadays, there are quite a few people in our two houses who are gossiping behind our backs, and the only ones left behind are members of our own family!
Don't think that I don't know what some of you have in mind.
Your eyes are all red when you see Brother Zhen and Rong'er going there one after another. In order to win a share of the family fortune that doesn't belong to you, you actually dare to slander even the mother of the clan at will?
I leave my words here today. If any of you have evidence to prove that what Sister-in-law Zhen is carrying in her belly is not from the blood of my Jia family, or any proof that Sister-in-law Zhen is not chaste, it is best to get it now. come out.
If you can't get it out, then don't blame me, I will punish you for framing the clan mother and trying to extinguish Changfang's bloodline! "
Jia Zhen is the clan leader, and You is naturally the mother of the Jia family.
Originally, her status should have been very noble, but it was only because Jia Zhen had always been willful and arbitrary and did not give You the dignity she deserved that the family did not respect You enough.
In addition, the You family is indeed in decline, so these people dare to make remarks that can cause death.
But Jia Lian is different.
Nowadays, the number of people in the two mansions is declining, and the only ones who can represent the family are Jia Jing, Jia Zheng, and Jia Lian.
Even because Jia Lian has a title inherited from the family, he is also the person with the highest official position in the family. In the hearts of many people, he even represents the family better than Jia Jing and Jia Zheng.
After all, Jia Jing doesn't care about anything at first glance, and Jia Zheng is not much different.
But Jia Lian is in his prime, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that in the future, Jia Lian will definitely be in charge of most things in the two houses of the Jia family.
To put it bluntly, in the Jia family, only the Ningrong and Ningrong houses are truly noble, and the other branches live off the glory of the two houses.
At this time, who dares to offend Jia Lian?
Therefore, when Jia Lian stood up and criticized those people with evil intentions, no one dared to say anything.
Jia Lian did not hold them back, and seeing that he had calmed them down, he turned around and cupped hands with Jia Jing and said: "Uncle Mingjian, although Brother Zhen did do some wrong things in the past, people are not saints, how can anyone be without fault?
If anyone thinks that based on this, they can slander my Jia family and Ningguo Mansion at will, thereby achieving their own ulterior motives, then they have made a wrong calculation. "
Jia Jing, who was originally in a bad mood due to everyone's doubts, suddenly looked at Jia Lian gratefully.
It's rare that this nephew can actually speak for their elder brother at this juncture.
Just as he was about to say something, he heard Jia Lian continue: "Sister-in-law Zhen's character has been noticed by so many people in our two houses for so many years.
Even the old lady always praises her, saying that Sister-in-law Zhen is a virtuous and sensible person.
Now that Changfang is in trouble, so many of us have gathered together to help Changfang overcome this difficulty, not to add insult to injury.
Besides, children’s bloodline is determined by destiny.
Since ancient times, it has always been a common thing to have a son. Is it rare?
What's more, Brother Zhen is only just over forty after the New Year. How can you use this as a basis to say that Brother Zhen can no longer have children?
Furthermore, Uncle Jing’s knees were originally weak in blood, but now Brother Zhen and Rong’er both passed away within just two days.
Maybe God is taking pity on him and can't bear to see a highly respected and enlightened person like Uncle Jing lose his bloodline, so it is not necessary to send a grandson to Uncle Jing at this time.
How dare you question God's blessings? Aren't you afraid of being punished by God? "
After saying these words, Jia Lian still felt a little uncomfortable.
But there is no way, who is called Shiren, just do this? If it doesn't make sense to reason, just talk about the cycle of nature and karma, which is absolutely correct in this era. Besides, no one else can explain the truth to him.
Therefore, in the face of Jia Lian's indignation, everyone in the hall not only did not dare to speak, but also did not even dare to show a strange expression to Jia Lian, for fear of being dragged out and criticized by Jia Lian as a heretic.
Jia Jing was even more moved by Jia Lian's words of focusing on Ningguo Mansion and family justice.
He stood up with his cane, looked at Jia Lian and said: "Okay, okay, it is a blessing for our entire Jia family to have a person like Brother Lian who understands justice and understands things well.
With you here, even if I return to Xuanzhen Temple in the future, I won’t have to worry too much about my family’s affairs! "
Jia Jing gave Jia Lian a few complimentary looks, then he used his cane, looked at the rest of the family, and hummed: "Did you all hear what Brother Lian said just now? Although I, Jia Jing, have no way to teach my son and grandson. , But this is not the reason for you to bully me, Ningguo Mansion.
If I hear you slandering my Ningguo Mansion for no reason again, don't blame me for being unkind. "
After all, Jia Jing is the eldest son of the third generation of the family. He was once a high school Jinshi. He also needs to be dignified and respectable.
Regarding Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, he had apologized before for embarrassing the family.
So when Jia Lian mentioned it, he immediately realized that the people in other houses were indeed going too far and wanted to plot against his Ningguo Mansion's foundation. Naturally, he had to take advantage of the situation and fight back.
It's just that for this reason, other matters must not be discussed for the time being.
Therefore, Jia Jing only nodded slightly to the two or three elders in the hall and Jia Lian, and then went into the back hall with his crutch.
He wants to make his attitude clear. Later, Jia Zheng and others will send someone to say good things to him and express their apology.
He tweaked it a little more, and then everyone could continue to sit together and still be a family that loves each other.
