The Jia Zhen sent him to Rongguo Province.
When they saw the sickly Jia Zheng,
Mrs. Jia and the people from the second branch quickly surrounded him.
Instead, he neglected Jia Zhen who was at the side. The Jia Zhen watched as these people asked about Jia Zheng.
He pursed his lips.
"Zheng'er, thank you.
Thank you. You've worked hard today.
Go back and rest. "The Jia Xie walked over.
She looked at the Jia Zhen apologetically.
"Don't worry about it. We're family. I'll come over early tomorrow.
I'll let Uncle Zheng prepare in advance. "The Jia Zhen was afraid of Mrs. Jia. He didn't have the time to watch the scene of her asking about Jia Zheng's health. If he saw such a scene, he might as well bully those little brats while he was away.
They would probably pester their sister-in-law again.
After saying that, the Jia Zhen left Rongguo Province and went back.
The Jia Zhen had just arrived at the entrance of Sakura Temple.
A servant girl told him that Mrs. Qin was talking to Madam in the room. The Jia Zhen stopped in his tracks and said, "Since Madam is not convenient,
I'll go to the study first.
After she leaves,
Tell Madam that I'll have dinner with her tonight. "
"Yes." Zi He bowed to the Jia Zhen. She thought to herself, "Master and Madam are really loving."
Although Zi He and Zi Teng were still second-class servants, they were already preparing to be first-class servants. When Bi Yun and Bi Yue got married, they would become the four head servants of Sakura Temple along with Zi Jing and Zi Yuan.
The Jia Zhen went to his study. The head servant in the study had also changed. She was named Ziwei according to the ranking of the Sakura Temple servants. When Xia Lu heard Ziwei, he was stunned for a long time. After all, in Grandma QY's novel, Ziwei was famous. She was a princess. Now, she was a servant in the Jia Zhen's study. Xia Lu admitted that his imagination was a little too wild.
"Why are you here today?" Ziwei was a little surprised when she saw the Jia Zhen come over. After all, the Jia Zhen rarely came to the study. If he wanted to study carefully, he would go to Xia Lu. Therefore, this study was basically a figurehead.
"I came over to take a look and pour some tea for me." Jia Zhen naturally wouldn't explain his whereabouts to a maidservant. Even if this maidservant was the head maidservant in his study, there was no special relationship between the two of them. She didn't grow up with Jia Zhen, nor did she have outstanding literary talent. It was only because she knew two words that she latched onto Little Silver's thigh in the end. Before Little Silver got married, he recommended her, and she became the head maidservant in the study.
If it was an ordinary family, being the head servant in the study of the master of the house would be a very honorable thing. Scholars were most particular about Hong Xiu Tian Xiang. The head servant in the study was usually not offended by the head servant in the house, and would be extremely polite. However, the Jia Zhen was different. The Jia Zhen was very attached to Xia Lu, and the study was basically a figurehead. The status of the head servant could not be compared with the head servant in other houses.
"Yes." Ziwei hurriedly left, but she looked very puzzled. She thought that the master had quarreled with the madam. As for the cause of the quarrel, it was naturally the couple and the child in the Rain-listening Villa. It was said that the little girl was very likely the master's illegitimate daughter because she looked 30 to 40 percent similar to the master. How could the madam tolerate it? Previously, the madam did not say anything, probably because she wanted to save face. Now that the limelight was over, her true colors would be revealed.
The Jia Zhen picked a book to read in the study. Even if he did not come to the study for a long time, the study was still tidy and spotless. The main reason was that the Jia Zhen had severely cleaned up the house before. Nearly half of the servants were replaced as an example to others. In a short time, the atmosphere in the house changed greatly. Therefore, even if he did not come to the study, these servants did not dare to take advantage of the opportunity to not clean the study.
The Jia Zhen slowly flipped through the book. When he encountered something he did not understand, he would ask the Jia Zhen. Every three days, the Jia Zhen would take time out to teach the Jia Zhen alone. Jia Jing had previously thought of finding a provincial official to teach the Jia Zhen. However, he found that many provincial officials were good at studying but were not very good at teaching students. Moreover, during the process of interacting with the Jia Zhen, he would also feel satisfied. Therefore, he did not find someone else to teach the Jia Zhen. Instead, he taught the Jia Zhen slowly.
In the Sakura Temple, Xia Lu had a headache because this Mrs. Qin was really too annoying. Although he understood that this matter was serious, there was no use in worrying blindly. Moreover, wasn't it their choice to come to Ningguo Province? Since they had made their choice, they should have the courage to bear the consequences. What was the use of being afraid now?
"Don't worry, the Retired Emperor is coming back from the Imperial Mausoleum. There will be a result soon, so don't worry too much," Xia Lu comforted gently.
"But … but … but will the Retired Emperor let the Young Princess go?" Xiao Zhi asked.
Xia Lu was silent for a moment and decided to tell the truth. "I can't guarantee this, but there is an 80% chance that he will let the Young Princess go. Moreover, he will find someone of noble status to raise the Young Princess." Xia Lu thought to himself, "Qin Keqing is the Crown Prince's flesh and blood after all. No matter what, she is still a member of the royal family. Even if the Emperor decides to punish her, it will not be easy."
"80%?" Xiao Zhi was worried. There was an 80% chance that the Young Princess would die. However, the Young Princess was saved by the concubine consort who risked her life. When the concubine consort handed the Young Princess to her, she should have been prepared to die. Xiao Zhi could not let the Young Princess take the risk.
"Nothing is absolute. This bet was made by the Ningguo Province and the Young Princess. You should believe that they are confident," Xia Lu said.
"Thank you, madam." Xiao Zhi stood up and said, "Sorry to disturb you, madam. This servant will take her leave first."
"Okay." Xia Lu nodded and sighed in relief. She hated dealing with people with this kind of character the most. They were inflexible and did not know how to adapt. However, this kind of person had a good point. They were very loyal and devoted to the deceased Concubine He. However, it was really difficult for an ordinary person like her to interact with people with this kind of character.
After Xiao Zhi left, Zi He reported the Jia Zhen's words to Xia Lu.
When the Jia Zhen came in the evening, she found that Xia Lu had prepared a table full of dishes.
"Why is there so much food today?" the Jia Zhen asked in surprise.
"This is to comfort you. I know that you have suffered a lot recently," Xia Lu said with a smile.
"You know me well. Xi Province is really too unruly. If it weren't for the guests in the house, I would have thrown a tantrum long ago. They are really shameless." The Jia Zhen pursed her lips.
"Alright, don't suffer anymore. Here's a toast to you." Xia Lu listened to the Jia Zhen's complaints and raised her teacup to the Jia Zhen.
"Is this how you deal with me?" The Jia Zhen smiled faintly and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Don't worry about these details. Haven't I been breastfeeding An An recently? I can't drink. When An An stops drinking milk, I will drink with you again. We won't go home until we are drunk. "Xia Lu was very forthright. In modern times, as a 21st century career woman, drinking was a piece of cake. After she transmigrated to this world, she was born in the northwestern frontier fortress. The people there were tough. They drank big bowls of wine and ate big bowls of meat. The women there could also drink a lot. Naturally, Xia Lu was no exception.
"Haha, why do you have to wait until that little brat stops drinking milk?" The Jia Zhen was not convinced.
"You speak as if you have never drunk milk before. Since you are so unconvinced, I will find an imperial physician tomorrow to prescribe medicine for me to stop drinking milk. What do you think?" Xia Lu raised her eyebrows. She thought about how when she and the Jia Zhen were having sex recently, this man had been lingering in her bosom like a child. She did not believe that the Jia Zhen would stop drinking milk.
The Jia Zhen did not say anything. He was secretly sulking.
"Alright, you still have to suffer. When the matter with the guests in the residence is settled, the two of us will go to Zhuangzi and stay for two days. Just the two of us. We won't bring those little brats. How about that?" Xia Lu asked.
"You said it." The Jia Zhen's mood instantly became better.
"I said it." Xia Lu thought to herself. In order to maintain the novelty of the marriage, it was time to have some excitement. To be honest, the Jia Zhen was not sick of it. She was a little sick of it.
The atmosphere between Xia Lu and the Jia Zhen instantly became very good. Meanwhile, Xiao Zhi returned to the Rain-listening Villa with a worried heart.
"What's wrong?" Qin Ye looked at Xiao Zhi's worried face and was very worried.
"I just went to ask Madam when the matter with the young commandery princess will be settled. Madam only gave a very vague answer. After the Retired Emperor returns to the capital, she also told me that there is only an 80% chance that the young commandery princess will survive safely. In other words, there is a 20% chance that the young commandery princess will die." Xiao Zhi was a little panicked. If the young commandery princess could not be saved, how could she face the vice consort in the underworld?
"How could this be? If the young commandery princess can't be saved, won't Ningguo Province be in trouble? "Qin Ye was a little scared.
"What's wrong with Ningguo Province reporting it in a timely manner? Ningguo Province and the young commandery princess are in the same boat. If something happens to the young commandery princess, Ningguo Province will also be in trouble. However, from another perspective, Ningguo Province can completely push the blame to us. Because we found Ningguo Province, they did not dare to delay and quickly reported it. In this way, even if the Emperor and the Retired Emperor know about it, they will only give a small punishment. The real mistake is us. "Xiao Zhi shuddered. Some people would think more when they were in a panic, and Xiao Zhi was like that.
"Then what should we do now?" Qin Ye was also at a loss. In the past few days, the rich life that he suddenly obtained suddenly became a candy wrapped with poison.
"We have to go. We can't stay here. If we stay here, we will really be finished." After Xiao Zhi finished speaking, she was about to pack her things. When they came here, they did not have anything with them, not even a change of clothes. Now that they were about to leave, they could still pack their luggage. It could be seen how much Xia Lu took care of the Qin family. Of course, the reason why he took care of them was also because of Qin Keqing.
"This mansion is not like the outside. Where can we escape to?" Qin Ye asked in fear.
