After a while, Princess Huo and others all came to Jia Mu's place.
Suddenly, the whole room became lively.
Jia Mu glanced at the people in front of her and was a little surprised. She looked angry and said, "What? You guys have agreed to come together to force me, right?"
In Jia Mu's view, these people no longer take her seriously.
If we can't use the majesty of the old lady to suppress these people, I'm afraid something will happen.
At this moment, it was already evening, and Jia Zheng came back from get off work in a sedan chair from the imperial office.
Just as he parked the sedan in front of the Rongguo Mansion, he saw someone running over to inform Jia Zheng, saying, "Master, something big happened at home."
Jia Zheng looked calm and calm. He glanced at the people in front of him and asked, "What happened?"
The servant hurriedly responded: "Master, today the second grandmother Bao and a group of people ransacked the Lai family. Now all the people in the Lai family are complaining to the old lady. Moreover, the grandmothers in Yun Mansion also They all came over, and the whole house was in chaos. There was a lot of movement."
After hearing these words, Jia Zheng quickly ran to Jia Mu's house, intending to see how the matter could be properly handled.
But at this moment, in Jia Mu's house, Princess Huo sneered and said, "Old lady, do you know what the Lai family did? When they built the Grand View Garden before, they put some royal supplies in their own house. The decorations have been put inside the house. Do you know the seriousness of this matter? If word spreads, our family will be in great trouble!"
The Lai family's corruption can make Jia Mu tolerate it and turn a blind eye to it.
However, the matter that Princess Huo brought up was an inversion and something that should not be touched.
Once this matter spreads, I am afraid that the entire Rongguo Mansion will be in trouble.
At least Jia Zheng and others were spared reprimands and punishments.
But Jia Mu is not a really confused old lady.
She didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of such a big deal, especially in front of a major matter related to the life and death of the entire Rongguo Mansion.
What the Lai family committed was not a big deal.
Royal supplies, used by domestic slaves.
Scared!
Even Lai Da and others kept their mouths shut and did not dare to quibble.
I saw Grandma Lai kneeling on the ground, crying and begging for mercy: "Old lady, please look at the fact that our family has been fighting for the Rongguo Mansion for so many years, please forgive us this time!".qgν.
Jia Mu also has some ambitions but lacks strength.
The matter of royal supplies was very involved, and it was not something she could cover up.
Now everyone knows about this, has seen those things, and put them on the table.
Mother Jia couldn't help but feel a headache. She waved her hand, glanced at Princess Huo, and asked, "Then what do you plan to do with these people?"
Princess Huo also hesitated and didn't know how to deal with it.
Princess Huo had planned to deal with these people secretly before, but now she had no choice.
When Jia Mu asked a question, they had to come up with a solution and answer.
Xue Baochai stood nearby and suggested: "Old lady, it's better to drive the Lai family members to the farm. Since I have made contributions to their family before, let's let them go this time instead of killing them. However, They can be exempted from death, but they cannot escape from living punishment. Let them go to farm on Zhuangzi."
For a moment, everyone else's eyes moved slightly, feeling that this matter could not be arranged more appropriately.
Not killing Lai Da and others is not only to fulfill the face of the old lady Jia Mu, but also to comply with Jia Mu's wishes. It is also for the good of Rongguo Mansion. Killing people is not a decent thing for them, so it is better not to kill them. If not killed, who would let them all be women.
Women's nature is to be soft-spoken, and few men are as decisive and bold as to kill at will.
After hearing Xue Baochai's remarks, Jia Mu quickly turned her sorrow into joy and smiled.
He smiled and said, "That's fine, let them live on Zhuangzi! It will be good for everyone if we spare them this time."
Grandma Lai was about to say something, but she felt that this matter was inappropriate.
How hard it must be to do farm work on Zhuangzi!
She has been serving Jia Mu and others in Rongguo Mansion all her life, and she has lived a peaceful life with no worries about food and clothing.
Once you go to farm in Zhuangzi, the life will be too difficult, and Grandma Lai won't be able to bear it.
Just when Aunt Lai was about to get up and continue talking and ask for mercy from Jia Mu, Lai Da grabbed her mother and spoke to Jia Mu first, saying: "Old lady, we are willing to farm on Zhuangzi. All we ask is The old lady can let my son go and not let my son be implicated in this matter."
Lai Da no longer cares about his own life or death.
Anyway, he has no hope in this life.
However, his son Lai Shangrong has now donated his official position and is serving as a county magistrate in other places relying on his connections with the Rongguo Mansion. .qgν.
Although this county magistrate is just an official the size of a sesame seed, he is still an official!
The ancestral slaves of several generations finally changed their destiny and became an official.
I have to say, this is an extremely inspiring story.
It can even be said that the Lai family is a smaller version of the Wang family.
In the past, the Wang family relied on the marriage between the Rongguo Mansion and the Xue family to achieve overtaking in a corner. Now it can be on top of the Rongguo Mansion, or it can be said that it is on an equal footing.
Of the four major families back then, the Wang family was the last and the least powerful.
Later, the Wang family relied on means to rise to power, and this was how they became as prosperous and wealthy as they are today.
Laida's original sin lay in their status as domestic slaves.
If he hadn't come from such a background, he would have been able to stand out and fight his way out.
However, this is the way the world is.
fair? There is never any fairness.
Lai Da's words made Jia Mu think about it for a moment before she nodded and said, "As for Lai Shangrong, forget it!"
After listening to Jia Mu's words, everyone disagreed and sneered in their hearts: This old lady is really old. If Lai Shangrong is really allowed to live, won't she bring trouble and bad luck to our family in the future?
Raising tigers is a big mistake.
At this time, Jia Zheng walked in from outside, looked at the people in the room, and hurriedly greeted Jia Mu: "I have seen my mother."
When everyone saw Jia Zheng coming back, they also smiled and said, "You are back, but you missed a good show."
Jia Mu waved her hand and said, "This matter is settled today. You all can go down. I'm tired."
Jia Mu really felt tired.
As people get older, their bodies age, and their spirits begin to become greedy for life and fear death. They are far less glorious than they were when they were young.
