When Jia Lian walked out of the main door again, the courtyard was full of people and the lights were brightly lit.
Jia Lian sat down on the nanmu chair in front of the main corridor, looked at the people kneeling under the steps, and said calmly: "Tell me, why do you hurt people?"
Of course the Zhao brothers knew why they were beaten. They were already sitting on two chairs and didn't want to give Zhaoer a chance to speak, so they started shouting first.
"Brother Lian, you must make the decision for us. We are so miserable. Ouch..."
"That's right, but just after we had a few quarrels with Zhao'er, he held a grudge and instigated these people to beat us up like this. We grew up on the same milk, you can't just watch your brothers... It’s like being ruined by someone.”
The Zhao brothers were beaten, so naturally they couldn't swallow it. They just wanted to rely on their relationship with Jia Lian to let Jia Lian help them relieve their hatred. It would be best to inflict the pain they suffered on Zhao'er and others ten times a hundred times. repay.
But they vaguely knew that Jia Lian was more reasonable than humane, and they were afraid that Jia Lian would favor Zhaoer and others after knowing the reason why they were beaten.
The two brothers kept arguing with each other, as if they wanted to make Jia Lian deal with Zhao'er and others in a confused way.
Jia Lian's patience ran out and he signaled to the guards standing neatly below the steps with indifferent eyes.
Zhao Sheng, who was at the front of the bodyguard, first clasped his fists and saluted Jia Lian, then stepped out in two steps and came to the chattering Zhao brothers. He slapped him with a big slap in the face, and then said coldly: "Be quiet!"
Zhao Tiandong was stunned after being beaten, and even his brother Zhao Tianliang was the same. They couldn't understand why Zhao Sheng dared to commit murder in front of so many people.
Speaking of which, they are still related to Zhao Sheng!
In less than two seconds, Zhao Tiandong came to his senses and looked up at Aunt Zhao sitting next to Sister Feng with his big, tearful eyes.
"Mother~~!"
For a grown man in his twenties, this motherly cry was as sad and desolate as a child who had been greatly wronged.
Aunt Zhao was so angry that her orifices were filled with smoke and her mouth was trembling as early as the first time Zhao Tiandong was beaten.
"It's contrary, it's really contrary, it's so lawless! Second Master and Second Grandma, you have seen it. They are still like this in front of you two. They really don't take Master and Grandma seriously. They don't care about the government. Take the rules here seriously.
If such a person stays in the house, he will become a disaster sooner or later..."
Aunt Zhao grabbed Sister Feng's arm and knelt on the ground, sobbing and wiping her tears.
Sister Feng comforted her and glanced at Jia Lian. Even though she knew that Zhao Sheng and others were influenced by Jia Lian, she was still shocked.
Are all his men so cruel? Seeing that the two brothers were injured like this, they still dealt with such heavy blows...
Being pestered by Aunt Zhao was also a little annoying, so Sister Feng could only say: "Oh, these are his people, and I can't say anything or make the decision. If you always have something to say, just tell it to your good son. ."
Aunt Zhao knelt down in front of Jia Lian.
Jia Lian helped her up, but when he saw that she couldn't stand up, he sighed quietly: "Mother Zhao, if you don't educate your children, you will ruin your family and destroy your family."
One sentence made the crying Aunt Zhao stunned on the spot.
Nanny Zhao, who was so angry that she didn't notice Jia Lian's face until this moment, broke into a cold sweat on her back.
He knew that Jia Lian was not an innocent person. When she heard such serious words as "losing the family and destroying the family" from Jia Lian, she realized that the matter of her son's beating might not be as simple as she knew.
At least, it won't be a battle of spirits as the sons said.
Moreover, she also realized that she had been too impatient before, which seemed to have caused Jia Lian's dissatisfaction. Otherwise, Jia Lian usually called her "Mom" in person in the past, and would not deliberately call her "Mother Zhao".
Taking advantage of the time when Aunt Zhao was lost in thought, Jia Lianfu said to Zhaoer and others: "Continue talking."
"yes."
Zhao'er knelt on the ground with a sad and angry look on his face: "Replying to the Second Master, the reason why I beat them is because these two boys took advantage of the servant's absence to bully my family. They even wanted to use force on my family's family. If it hadn't been for the slave, I would have I was prepared and hired someone to take care of me in advance. I was afraid that my family would be bullied by these two idiots in vain.
The slave was furious for a moment, so he wanted to deal with them. This matter was entirely the slave's idea. Brother Feng and the others were just helping the slave to vent his anger, so if the second master blamed him, he would just punish the slave. "
It turns out that Zhaoer knew that Jiang Yun was too beautiful, and that once he was not at home, he would not be remembered.
Therefore, before leaving Beijing, I spent money to ask neighbors to help take care of me. That evening, Jiang Yun returned home from the mansion as usual. He was teased and pulled by the Zhao brothers who had ulterior motives. After being seen by neighbors, he immediately reported to Zhao'er's house.
Zhao'er's grandfather quickly led people over and rescued the person.
After hearing Zhao'er's words, everyone in the courtyard was surprised at first, and then relieved.
After all, among the many young wives in the slave world of the two mansions, no two could compare to the beauty of Zhao'er's new daughter-in-law.
It is said that Zhaoer was born as an oiran in the south of the Yangtze River. When Zhaoer followed Master Lian to the south of the Yangtze River to handle the case, Master Lian rescued him from a wealthy businessman and rewarded Zhaoer casually.
In this regard, the men in the two houses are naturally only envious and jealous.
But there is nothing that can be done. Who told Zhaoer to please Master Lian so much? Zhao'er's parents died young and he was raised by his grandparents. When he got his wife, he boldly invited Master Lian to sit in the high hall.
The key is that Mr. Lian agreed! No one has this kind of grace.
Therefore, some servant women who came to watch the play gloated about the misfortune. The Zhao brothers were originally a bit careless, especially in recent years, relying on their relationship with Jia Lian, they have become even more arrogant and domineering, and do not pay attention to other servants in the house.
Now he has been destroyed by the confidants and bodyguards of Mr. Lian, which can be regarded as evil retribution.
On the main corridor, Sister Feng's eyes narrowed. She knew Jia Lian's temperament. When Jia Lian rewarded Jiang Yun to Zhao'er, she had teased Jia Lian. Why didn't she keep it for herself?
Now seeing that the Zhao brothers were abolished by Jia Lian because of Jiang Yun, this had to make her suspicious. Could there be something else about her man that she didn't know about, a special hobby?
Aunt Zhao's face was also a little pale. She knew her son somewhat, so she naturally believed that his son could do such a thing. After all, even she didn't take Zhao'er seriously, let alone her two arrogant sons.
Perhaps in their view, even if Zhaoer knew that they had bullied his wife, Zhaoer might not dare to do anything to them. When the time comes, just make amends and apologize.
In a wealthy family, even the master may not be clean, let alone minions like them.
Without fear, you can do anything naturally.
Who knew Zhao'er was so ruthless and dared to do something so cruel.
Public opinion was one-sided, except for the Zhao brothers who also tried to quibble, saying that they just met by chance and were joking.
Aunt Zhao did not echo her son's words at this time. Seeing the obvious anger on Jia Lian's face, she knew that forcing excuses would only make the situation worse, so she looked at Jia Lian sadly: "Even if your two nanny brothers were wrong, they didn't cause any bad consequences. They shouldn't Being beaten like this.
Second Master, my good master, just for the sake of my milking you, you should make the decision for me. I only have two sons, but now they are like this, how can I live in the future..."
Jia Lian couldn't bear to see Nanny Zhao crying so sadly. In fact, if it weren't for her sake, the two Zhao brothers would not be worth the trouble.
Since you have done something wrong, it will be useless if it is abolished. How can you waste time here and pretend to be interrogated by three courts?
Many times Jia Lian wonders, why do loving mothers often lose their sons? Just like Aunt Xue and Aunt Zhao in front of me, they can be said to be intelligent women.
But educating his son was a huge failure. And they always lose their rational thinking when dealing with their sons.
Jia Lian didn't like to see them like this, so he stood up indifferently, looked down at Aunt Zhao and said, "Didn't Mother Zhao always want my two brothers to follow me and do things around me?
Just in time, how about I take them two under my command now and be my personal guards? "
As soon as he said this, not only Nanny Zhao was stunned, but Sister Feng next to her was even more surprised. You despised these Zhao brothers when they were good, but now that they have been deposed, you want to recruit them into your personal guard?
Although Aunt Zhao heard from the doctor that her son was disabled, she believed that he could be cured in the future. She naturally knew that being a personal guard for Jia Lian had a better future than collecting rent for the government. She thought it might be Jia Lian's compensation for his two sons, so she nodded.
Jia Lian looked at the Zhao brothers below: "Are you all willing to be my personal soldiers?"
The Zhao brothers did not doubt that he was there, and they all expressed their willingness, and took the opportunity to propose that Jia Lian punish Zhaoer and others severely.
Jia Lian had already looked at Zhao Sheng and asked, "According to the rules of our army, what should happen to those who rape women?"
Zhao Sheng straightened his figure and spoke like thunder: "Behead!"
"In that case, drag him out and behead him."
"yes!"
Zhao Sheng was like a machine without emotions, he would step forward to take someone when given an order.
At this moment, countless pairs of eyes quietly shrank.
Sitting in the high gallery, Sister Feng's eyelids twitched, and she immediately looked at Jia Lian with red and phoenix eyes, showing a scared look.
Good guy, you still say that I am cruel, but I am far worse than you. Dare you agree to accept them as personal guards, just to have the Zhao brothers beheaded for a legitimate reason?
"No……"
Aunt Zhao watched her two sons crying and being forcibly dragged away with chairs, and her three souls trembled in fright.
She threw herself in front of Jia Lian, hugged Jia Lian's legs, pulled and begged desperately.
"Brother Lian, no, don't, they are your nannies, you can't be so cruel...
Yes, we are no longer your personal soldiers, okay?
Good Lord, just for my sake, please spare them this time, okay? I beg you..."
As soon as Jia Lian raised his hand, Zhao Sheng and others below threw the Zhao brothers to the ground.
"Oh, mom really wants me to let them go?"
Mother Zhao nodded repeatedly.
"Okay. For the sake of Mother Zhao, I can spare them this time, but if they dare to offend again next time, they will not be spared."
Jia Lian said, bent down to help Nanny Zhao up, and said with sincerity: "Today, my mother interceded for them, and they were saved from death. But mother, you must know that you, the old man, cannot protect them for the rest of their lives."
Aunt Zhao showed gratitude on her face and was about to say something when she heard Jia Lian continue: "Now that my two brothers are seriously injured, I'm afraid that I can't do any more errands in the house. Well, my mother has given me the ability to nurture her." Well, for my mother's sake, I decided to release the two brothers from the house, and they became free people from now on, no longer needing to be slaves."
"Furthermore, in view of the physical condition of the two brothers, in order to avoid difficulties in making a living in the future... Let's do this. From now on, in addition to the monthly money, my mother will get two extra monthly payments for the two brothers. livelihood.
This extra money doesn’t have to come out of the official account, it can just be deducted from my monthly salary. "
Jia Lian's last words were to Sister Feng.
Aunt Zhao's face was moved. From Jia Lian's arrangements, she seemed to understand that Jia Lian had completely given up on the Zhao family. At present, these arrangements are just to compensate for her kindness as a wet nurse.
But what could she say? At least in the eyes of outsiders, Jia Lian was extremely kind to the Zhao family. Not only did he let his two sons go, but he also considered their future livelihood and allowed her, an old mother, to receive two extra monthly payments!
This kind of honor and favor has not been obtained by many slaves since Jia's establishment.
Under such circumstances, who can say that Jia Lian is sorry for their Zhao family?
So, Aunt Zhao thanked her with tears in her eyes.
Jia Lian did not let Aunt Zhao kneel down anymore, but turned to Sister Feng and said, "Arrange a few appropriate people to send mother and the two nannies back."
While Sister Feng was arranging people, Aunt Zhao looked at Jia Lian with tears on her face: "Brother Lian..."
The voice is weeping and the emotion is inexplicable.
Jia Lian smiled slightly: "Mom, don't worry. If anything happens at home in the future, just come to the house to see me or Girl Feng."
Jia Lian inherited all the memories of his predecessor, so he knew that Aunt Zhao's love and care for her predecessor since she was a child could not be described as meticulous.
Otherwise, if his mother died so early and Jia She was so unreliable, even if he was not alone, he would not be living a good life. Therefore, Aunt Zhao is partly responsible for his ability to grow into such a beautiful and healthy body.
When she heard Jia Lian say that she could still come in to find him, Grandma Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. After bending down and bowing, he stumbled down and took the sons away with several other servants arranged by Sister Feng.
In the meantime, her two sons still asked her if they were beaten by Zhao'er's men and asked her if she could just forget about it. Aunt Zhao didn't answer either.
A good show came to an end, and the people who came to watch the show dispersed one after another.
But the song is not over yet. As you can imagine, what happened tonight was deeply impressive to everyone who witnessed it.
In particular, because the Zhao brothers forced Zhao's daughter-in-law, not only were the two brothers seriously injured and they came in to complain, but they were also almost executed by Master Lian in accordance with military law. This incident will definitely cause huge repercussions in both governments.
Many wives who can't control the men at home have already thought about it. They must take this matter up when they go back and educate their men well, not to flirt with other people inside and outside the house. Because if it falls into the hands of Second Master Lian, his head may be lost!
When the time comes, there will be no second mother Zhao to intercede.
In front of the main corridor, Jia Lian's increasingly stern eyes made all the kneeling Zhao'er, Feng Fei, Zhao Sheng and other personal guards feel anxious.
Although they collaborated to abolish the Zhao brothers out of overall considerations, they went against Jia Lian's wishes after all.
"Except for a few of them, everyone else should step back."
Without saying anything else, Jia Lian turned around and entered the house with Sister Feng.
Inside the house, Sister Feng asked Jia Lian with a smile: "What are you going to do with Zhao'er and the others?"
"How to deal with what?"
Yes, Sister Feng knew as soon as she heard the tone that the Zhao brothers would only be beaten in vain.
So he asked curiously: "You don't want to see the Zhao brothers so much that you want to kick them out? They are your brothers after all. They are natural arms wherever you put them."
There are many slaves and servants in the world. For most people, being able to escape slavery is a blessing. But this definitely does not include the servants of Jia's family.
Especially slaves with "roots" like the Zhao brothers, in the eyes of outsiders, they are full-fledged slaves, and most people do not dare to offend them.
Therefore, there are only two possibilities for a family-born child to be released.
One is indeed the master's extreme favor, freeing them from slavery so that they can have a better future.
For example, Lai’s grandson Lai Shangrong.
The second type is naturally like the Zhao brothers, who were extremely disliked by their master and were difficult to deal with due to their feelings, so they were kicked out directly.
After losing the status of a slave in Rongguo Mansion, naturally one can no longer consider oneself as a member of Rongguo Mansion.
In other words, anything they do in the future will have nothing to do with Rongguo Mansion.
Facing Sister Feng's question, Jia Lian said nonchalantly: "I have given them opportunities over the years. Since the mud can't hold up the wall, it's better to let them go, so as not to stay in the house and cause trouble based on their status."
Sister Feng showed a noncommittal expression.
Seeing his lovely wife's lively and playful appearance, Jia Lian felt happy, so he took her hand and asked her to sit in his arms.
Sister Feng half-heartedly gave a precautionary warning: "Don't mess around, I have to go to the old lady's house."
"Why are you going so late?"
"The old lady has been in a bad mood these past two days. Shouldn't I go check on you sooner or later? Do you think our women's family is as cool and unrestrained as your men's family and dares to ignore their elders?"
Jia Lian didn't care about his beloved wife's habitual complaints, he just held her arms and rubbed her hair together.
Sister Feng felt embarrassed and uncomfortable, so she tried her best to stop Jia Lian's movements and changed the subject with a blushing face: "I'd like to thank you for your troubles about my aunt's family."
Jia Lian had already told her about Xue Pan's matter before going to Xue's house, so Wang Xifeng knew that Xue Pan's matter was no longer serious.
And from her point of view, Jia Lian's dedication to helping the Xue family was indeed out of her kindness, so it was reasonable for her to thank Jia Lian.
But when Jia Lian heard this, he was slightly startled, and he couldn't help but release his hands from Sister Feng's breasts.
Sister Feng cleverly noticed this subtle change, and looked up at Jia Lian, her eyes becoming slightly dangerous: "Speaking of which, you are so dedicated to helping my aunt rescue Uncle Xue, do you have some other plans?"
"You think too much."
In order to prevent Sister Feng from turning into Sherlock Holmes-Xifeng, Jia Lian interrupted: "I'm going out of town tomorrow. You can come with me."
"Huh? Why did you call me?"
Even though Jia Lian was in Beijing, it was common for him to go out of the city, but he never said to call her. Therefore, Sister Feng was naturally very surprised when she heard this.
"The eldest princess wants to see you."
Sister Feng's expression froze on her face, and she suddenly lowered her head: "Wasn't she unwilling to see me before? Why did she suddenly want to see me again..."
Naturally, Sister Feng would not take it lightly for this love rival whom she had never met but had been entangled with for a long time.
After she learned that the other party and Jia Lian were actually married, she mustered up the courage to make an appointment with him. Unfortunately, the other party seemed not ready to see her, so she refused.
If he suddenly wants to see her again at this time, he must be prepared.
Seeing Sister Feng's emotional changes, Jia Lian felt pity in his heart and couldn't bear to hide it from her. He hesitated and said: "She is pregnant."
As soon as the words came out, Jia Lian could clearly feel the delicate body leaning on his arms shaking. Jia Lian didn't have much to do to comfort her, so he could only use his arms to hold her in his arms.
Feeling Jia Lian's actions, Sister Feng took a deep breath and forced a smile: "So that's it. Congratulations to Mr. Hou."
For Sister Feng, the identity of the other princess is like a big mountain weighing on her head.
What's more, the other party is now pregnant...
Pregnancy has always been a hidden worry in her heart. Although she has a daughter, she has never given birth to a boy for Jia Lian. If the other party becomes pregnant with another boy, what will she have to fight with him?
In fact, there was nothing to fight about. If the other party really wanted to fight, she wouldn't be able to win even if she wasn't pregnant.
In fact, she had already lost two years ago, completely. Being able to maintain the glory of the past two years is already a luxury for her.
She had already thought of a way out.
Seeing the suppressed sadness in Sister Feng's eyes, Jia Lian felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't help but comfort him: "Don't worry, no matter what, I, Jia Lian, will not let you down..."
Sister Feng's expression became calmer after hearing this. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and then said with a chuckle: "What do you mean, I'm not worried, I don't think it's you who's worried.
You don't need to comfort me. I have expected this day since you told me frankly what happened between you and her.
Don't worry, I won't overestimate my capabilities and ask for trouble. Didn't you say that I, Wang Xifeng, am a very shrewd woman?
Haha, maybe this is a good thing. Anyway, I can't control you. When a public servant takes charge of you in the future, let's see if you still have the guts to mess around with women outside! "
Sister Feng always spoke at length, but at this time, when Jia Lian listened to her words, he didn't feel verbose at all. Instead, he found her very cute.
Moreover, he could tell from Sister Feng's tone that she was already mentally prepared to abdicate.
Although this was not what Jia Lian wanted, his reason told him that if this matter did not turn around, he would only be able to wrong Sister Feng in name only. After all, it is impossible for the royal family to wrong its own princess in name only.
As for why it was in name only, it was because he knew that Princess Zhaoyang would not enter the Rongguo Mansion.
Putting aside the fact that the current eldest princess's mansion is far superior to the Rongguo mansion in both specifications and size, there is no need for Princess Zhaoyang to enter the Rongguo mansion to fight for anything.
It is said that he and Princess Zhaoyang both have greater ambitions. Princess Zhaoyang sits in the eldest princess's mansion and establishes and consolidates her own strength, which is the only correct choice. (End of chapter)
