Jia He followed Xia Lu to the Sakura Temple. When they walked into the main hall of the Sakura Temple, they heard a woman's voice. The whole inner chamber was very lively. Jia He frowned.
"Young Master, this pastry is really novel and delicious. I'm afraid that after this time, I won't be able to eat it again." Hong Xiu finished the last piece of cake in her hand and said sweetly.
"It's nothing. When you want to eat it, let Xia Clan make it again." Jia Zhen said indifferently.
"I'm afraid that's not good. Grandma is the master. How can she cook for us?" Hong Xiu said.
"If you ask her to do it, she has to do it. You are her husband. How can she disobey you?" Jia Zhen looked proud. He had already thought about how to deal with Xia Clan. She knew how to make pastry, right? Then she would make it for him every day. If she didn't, he would tell Master and Madam that Xia Clan was not willing to cook for him. When Master and Madam were angry, they would definitely allow him to divorce her. Jia Zhen took it for granted and thought that his idea was very good.
Jia He, who was standing outside, was so angry that her whole body was trembling.
"What's wrong, Madam?" Xia Lu, who was standing beside Jia He, originally had grievances and humiliation on her face. However, when she saw Jia He trembling with anger, she hurriedly asked with concern. She hoped that her mother-in-law wouldn't be so angry that something bad would happen. She had just married into the family and had already fallen out with Jia Zhen last night. It was the time when she needed her mother-in-law to support her. If something bad happened at the beginning, how could she live in the future? As for what Jia Zhen said to the little vixens in the room, Xia Lu really didn't take it seriously. After all, in her heart, Jia Zhen was someone who could commit adultery with her daughter-in-law. This was completely a trivial matter.
"Master, you are so awesome. If I want to eat this kind of pastry in the future, I will tell you."
Hong Xiu was proud in her heart. Even if she married the young master, she was not favored by the young master. The young master only treated her as a cook. As long as she seized the opportunity, this new grandma would not be able to take away the stewardship of the young master's courtyard.
"Okay." Jia Zhen smiled and boasted shamelessly.
"Bastard." Jia Zhen finally couldn't hold back and directly pushed the door of Jia Zhen and Xia Lu's bedroom door. She was trembling with anger.
Jia Zhen was shocked when he suddenly saw Jia He. Jia. Didn't Madam go to Xi Province? Why did she come here? As for the other three concubines, they were so frightened that they immediately knelt down. If the conversation between them and the young master had only been heard by the new grandmother, she wouldn't have been able to punish them as soon as she entered the manor with the young master in his arms. However, the person who had heard the conversation was actually Madam. This made the three of them terrified.
"Madam, why are you here?" Jia Zhen asked in surprise.
"Why am I here? If I didn't come, I don't know how much you would have wronged your daughter-in-law. You are really good. You actually asked the mistress to make food for the concubines. How dare you say that? Who are you humiliating? And you lowly maids. You instigated the young master to ask Grandma to make food for you. Aren't you afraid that your throat will rot after eating it? "Jia He was so angry that she looked at the concubines who were kneeling. She originally wanted to stay for a while, but now it seemed that she couldn't stay for even a day. If they could instigate the young master now, she didn't know what they could do in the future.
Jia Zhen opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything. He could only stay silent.
"You can't stay. Mama Gui, take them away. Pack their luggage and send them to Zhuangzi." Jia He ordered with a cold face.
"Yes." Mama Gui's eyes were also very cold. They were all idiots. Their hearts were higher than the sky and their lives were thinner than paper.
The three concubines were frightened. Dian Deng was brought here by the Qian Clan. Perhaps he didn't know, but Hong Xiu and Tian Xiang were the children of the Jia family. Naturally, they understood what it meant to send them to Zhuangzi. It meant that Ningguo Province was no longer fated with them. If they were lucky, they would be sent to a rich Zhuangzi and could find a steward's family. If they were unlucky, they would be sent to a poor Zhuangzi. Even if they married a steward, they would still be poor. Moreover, they would be like this for the rest of their lives. The children they gave birth to would still be the children of the family. How could it be like now? They were lucky enough to give birth to the young master's son, and their son would be the young master.
Hong Xiu knelt down and walked a few steps on her knees. She knelt in front of Madam Jia, tears streaming down her face. "Madam, this servant was blinded by lard. It's all this servant's fault. This servant should not have instigated Young Master. I beg Madam to have mercy on this servant. For the sake of serving Young Master diligently in the past, please forgive this servant this time. Don't send this servant to the farm."
Tian Xiang also knelt in front of Jia He and begged for Jia He's forgiveness. However, she was very regretful in her heart. She made a mistake. She shouldn't have come with Hong Xiu. If she didn't come with Hong Xiu, she was not wrong in this matter. She had already prepared to rely on her grandmother. She didn't expect that she would be implicated like this because of a moment of carelessness.
When Dian Xiang saw that Hong Xiu and Tian Xiang were so scared, she also understood that sending them to Zhuangzi was probably not a good thing. Naturally, she was also afraid. She quickly knelt in front of Jia He and begged for mercy. In fact, she was more afraid than Hong Xiu and Tian Xiang. She was not a child of the Jia family. She was a member of the Qian family. She came with the Qian Clan as a dowry. The contract of selling her body was still in the Qian family. However, in the Qian family's situation, even if she went to Zhuangzi of the Jia family, she would not be willing to go back to the Qian family.
The Jia Zhen looked at the three concubines, Hong Xiu, Tian Xiang, and Dian Deng, kneeling in front of his mother and begging bitterly. He felt very sad in his heart, and he was also a little awkward. Why did they only beg his wife, but no one begged him to help them? Was he so unreliable in their hearts?
Xia Lu's face was a little sad, standing aside. As the Jia Zhen's wife, seeing her husband and concubines like this, she should naturally be sad. In order to maintain her image of a little white flower in Jia He's heart, it was up to Jia He's operation next. However, Xia Lu could also expect that Jia He would not punish the Jia Zhen in the end, but in order to explain to her, she would severely punish these concubines. However, in the end, she would definitely plead for mercy for these concubines.
"Oh, I forgive you. Now you know to be afraid. Just now, you were shamelessly instigating the young master." Jia He directly found a chair and sat down, looking at the three concubines kneeling on the ground. Fortunately, she came with Xia Clan because she wanted to bring pastries for her sister-in-law. If Xia Clan came alone and heard these words, she did not know how sad she would be in her heart. She was originally a kind and easy-going person, and in the end, she was afraid that she would be driven crazy by these concubines.
Xia Lu, like a little daughter-in-law, followed behind Jia He, but in her heart, she did not have any sympathy for these three concubines. It was good to have ambition, but what matched ambition was strength. It was good to kill with a borrowed knife, but the borrowed knife was too blunt. Jia Zhen was not a good knife.
"I know I'm wrong. I won't dare to do it again." Hong Xiu kept sobbing. She really knew how to be afraid.
After waiting for a long time, Xia Lu opened her mouth and said, "Madam, let them go this time. They have been with Husband for so long. They must know him very well. Husband is lying in bed now. It's also good for them to accompany Husband to relieve his boredom." Xia Lu was almost moved by herself. She was so considerate and so saintly.
"Child, you are always so kind." Jia He sighed. Hong Xiu and Tian Xiang, the two maids, were given to Zheng 'er by her. Moreover, they were the children of the servants in the mansion. It was not good to send them away like this. She said that she sent them away just to explain to Xia Clan. Fortunately, Xia Clan was kind and accepted them.
Accept them? Xia Lu said that it did not exist. As a career-oriented woman in the 21st century, how could she be willing to share a cucumber with others? It was only because of the particularity of this era. Men had three wives and four concubines. She did not have the ability to resist the helpless compromise of the whole society. Why was she willing to keep these three women? With Jia Zhen's position in her mother-in-law's heart, after these three women left, she would definitely give them concubines.
These three women were not difficult to deal with, especially after they had made mistakes and had been blackmailed. At least in the future, they would not dare to be demons in front of her. The most important thing was that the image of them being demons had been deeply imprinted in her mother-in-law's mind. The next time something happened, the culprit, the first thing that would appear in her mother-in-law's mind would be their faces.
If a new concubine was given, the image in her mother-in-law's heart would not be destroyed. In addition, they were the children of the Jia Zhen. If they were smart, it would be difficult for her to deal with them. After all, she did not have a good relationship with the Jia Zhen. She could not whisper in the Jia Zhen's ear and let the Jia Zhen influence her mother-in-law. Therefore, the best ending was for these three women to stay and not a new concubine. Moreover, by pleading for mercy, she could make a good impression in her mother-in-law's heart.
"Since your grandmother has forgiven you, I will give you a chance. It just so happens that Zheng 'er's leg is injured. Go to the small Buddha Hall and kneel for 49 days. Then, copy the Diamond Sutra a hundred times and burn it to pray for Zheng' er," Jia He said.
"Yes." The three concubines finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was just copying scriptures and kneeling. It was much better than being sent to Zhuangzi.
The Jia Zhen, who was lying on the side, was very tired. For the first time, he was very impatient with these three concubines. He sneered in his heart. Women, ah, but that was all.
"All of you can leave." Jia He was too lazy to look at them. She felt that it hurt her eyes to look at them.
"Yes." The three concubines left sadly. Compared with before, when Jia He did not appear, it was really a sharp contrast. Therefore, it was better not to be too ostentatious. Otherwise, if you were not careful, you would be slapped in the face.
After the three concubines left, Jia He turned her gaze to her son. There was a strong sense of disappointment in her eyes.
