Yuanyang is Jia Mu's eyeliner and tentacle in Rongguo Mansion, and is also her right-hand man in daily life.
All the maids in Jia Mu's house can be given to Jia Mu, except Yuanyang.
If Jia Mu can't keep the mandarin duck at this moment, then none of the maids around her can be trusted, and none of them can be fully trusted. When the time comes, she, a dying old man, can't stand alone, and she will be completely isolated and have no authority. .
Losing authority means losing everything.
Jia Mu must keep the mandarin duck, just like the West cannot lose Jerusalem.
Just like anyone who dares to challenge the imperial power, he will surely face a terrifying storm and suppression.
Seeing Jia Mu lose her temper, Mrs. Wang stood up quickly, but did not dare to say a word in reply to Jia Mu.
Aunt Xue was also angry because she saw Jia Mu, and even Mrs. Wang, the daughter-in-law who had nothing to do with the matter, scolded her. As an outsider, it was difficult for her to persuade her.
As soon as Li Wan heard what Yuanyang said, he took Jia Tanchun and others out.
When Jia Tanchun saw this scene, he planned to persuade Jia Mu, but he thought that Mrs. Wang, as the daughter-in-law, had been scolded. Although this matter had nothing to do with their family, and it had nothing to do with Mrs. Wang, Jia Mu, as a daughter-in-law, Once the eldest old man and the most senior elder in the whole family spoke, they did not dare to say anything.
In ancient times, the country was governed by loyalty and filial piety.
If a person is unfilial, then the entire society will surround the person and make the person socially dead and unable to move forward.
Especially for a powerful family such as Rong Guofu, if there is a reputation for being unfilial, everyone will be dismissed from their official positions, and it will even affect the current wealth, prosperity, and peaceful life.
Filial piety is a necessary conclusion drawn after weighing the pros and cons.
Therefore, Mrs. Wang did not dare to speak and could only compromise.
Aunt Xue didn't dare to argue because Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were biological sisters, and Jia Tanchun didn't dare to argue, just because Jia Tanchun was nominally Mrs. Wang's daughter. If her mother was scolded, she would have to go up. If someone is suspected of forcing a woman to have a baby, she will only be scolded more, but it will not alleviate the conflict.
Xue Baochai was also inconvenient to speak, just because Mrs. Wang was Xue Baochai's aunt, and with this relationship, she couldn't argue.
As for Li Wan, a widow with a child, it was impossible to participate in it. She had no authority and was a low-key person.
Baoyu and others did not dare to offend Jia Mu's brow.
Jia Yingchun's temperament is relatively docile and honest, and she does not dare to argue.
Jia Xichun is younger and has no right to speak.
For a time, no one in the room could speak or refute.
He didn't even dare to say anything back.
Therefore, Jia Mu's authority is most vividly demonstrated at this moment.
Xiang Ling, who was able to speak at this moment, remained silent and did not start speaking immediately.
The silence brought by authority also needs to be maintained.
It is important to speak at the right time. If the time is not right, then no matter how much you say, you are asking for trouble.
After Xiangling waited a little longer, she saw Jia Mu's expression gradually softening, and knew it was time to perform on her own.
The next moment, Xiangling stood up, walked to Jia Mu and smiled at her: "Old lady, don't be angry about this, it will be bad if you hurt yourself. As the ancients said, anger hurts the liver. If a person wants to live a long life, the best thing to do is to be calm.
If we really talk about it, this matter was caused by the elder. What does this matter have to do with the second wife?
The old lady, think about it carefully, the second wife is usually a filial person, how dare you anger the old lady here?
What's more, this is the person in the old lady's house that the elder wants to take.
As the saying goes, every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner.
Even if the old lady is really angry, she should go to the elder.
As for the second wife, she is just a woman. How could she know about this?
Even if they knew it, they would excuse themselves and say they didn't know it because of the unity in this family. "
After listening to Xiang Ling's words, Jia Mu reached a new level. She also praised Xiang Ling's intelligence in her heart. Seeing that her authority was established again, she did not continue to embarrass the people below her. She couldn't help but smile on her face and said with a smile. : "Xiang Ling, what you said is absolutely true, I am really an old fool!
Don't laugh at me.
But you don’t know what’s going on in our big family.
My second daughter-in-law is very filial to me, unlike my eldest daughter-in-law, who is always afraid of the eldest father. My mother-in-law only comes to talk to me.
Today I scolded her, but I wronged him. "
Mrs. Wang was also smart when she saw this, and only agreed: "It's not important for the old lady to scold me a few times."
Aunt Xue also participated. She smiled at Jia Mu and said, "The old lady is also biased. She loves her young son and daughter-in-law so much. Who in this family doesn't know about this? They don't dare to come over. It’s also a guilty conscience to be afraid of.”
Jia's mother said with emotion: "Every bowl of water here is served equally, without favoritism!"
Then, Jia's mother looked at Jia Baoyu and said, "Baoyu, I just wrongly blamed your mother. Why didn't you remind me? You just stood there and watched your mother suffer this inexplicable injustice?"
When Baoyu saw that he was involved here, he also smiled and said: "How dare I favor my mother and say that my uncle and auntie are wrong?
We are all a family. If someone has someone else, isn’t it the fault of all of us?
Today, by coincidence, my mother is here. If my mother denies this matter, who will she blame it on?
My ancestors always wanted to scold me, but I wanted to accept them all, acknowledge them, and say it was my fault. The old lady would not dare to agree or believe it. "
Jia Mu smiled and said: "What you said makes sense. It seems that you have not been studying in vain these days, and you have made some progress. Kneel down quickly and kneel down for your mother. Don't be wronged, madam. The old lady is getting old. The old fool can only look at Baoyu."
After listening to Jia Mu's instructions, Baoyu hurriedly walked over and knelt down to say something.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wang hurriedly walked over. She couldn't bear to let Baoyu do this. She smiled and pulled him up and said, "My son, get up quickly, get up quickly, this matter is absolutely impossible. Is it possible that you can still help the old lady?" Can’t I make amends?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone knew that Mrs. Wang still had opinions on what had just happened. After Baoyu heard this, he quickly stood up and stopped talking.
Jia Mu smiled and said, "Isn't this strange Baochai? Tanchun and you girls didn't remind me? You are all capable people, so why don't you know the importance?"
Seeing Jia's mother shirk responsibility, Tanchun, Baochai and others could only nod helplessly and said with a smile: "It's our fault."
