The Jia Xie spoke very quickly, especially the words that described Lady Wang.
She didn't even take a breath in between. In fact, over the years, the Jia Xie would greet Lady Wang's ancestors in her heart almost every day. She didn't greet Jia Zheng because they shared the same ancestor. However, she could only greet them in her heart and couldn't say it out loud. It was really frustrating. Now, she finally had a chance to vent.
The Jia Xie felt much better.
The Jia Lian was stunned again.
Although he knew that his father didn't like Second Uncle and Second Aunt, he always thought that it was because they lived in Glory Hall. However, it was the Old Madam's idea for Second Uncle and Second Aunt to live in Glory Hall. Even if his father was angry, he couldn't blame the Old Madam. He could only vent his anger on Second Uncle and Second Aunt. However, judging from his father's words just now, it didn't seem to be the case. Compared to Second Uncle Jia Zheng, his father seemed to hate Lady Wang more.
The Jia Lian recalled Lady Wang's actions over the years.
Even though Madam Wang wasn't as kind and generous as others thought, she wasn't as bad as his father described her to be.
Could there be a misunderstanding? Maybe someone wanted to sow discord between the first and second branches?
The Jia Lian felt that there was a conspiracy.
It was a big conspiracy.
Therefore, his face became serious.
He asked solemnly, "Master, what are you doing?"
Did someone say something nonsense in front of you? Please tell me the truth. "
The Jia Xie was still immersed in the pleasure of mocking Lady Wang. When the Jia Lian asked,
He didn't react for a moment.
"Tell me honestly? And who said something nonsense in front of me? What nonsense did they say? "
The Jia Lian saw that his eyes didn't flicker.
He didn't look guilty. He was also a little confused and asked, "Master, why did you say those things? Second Aunt … Isn't she good? She also takes good care of her son. "
Jia Xie finally understood what it meant to be a Jia Lian. Her silly son still favored the second branch of the family!
Jia Xie felt that he should give the Jia Lian a heavy blow. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future for a benevolent father and a filial son. It was only right to lead his son onto the bright path first. After all, if one took too many small paths, it was easy to fall into the gutter.
Thinking of this, he clicked his tongue twice, shook his head, and said disappointedly, "Your mother and I are quite smart, how did we give birth to such a stupid son like you? You usually look quite smart, but when you meet those scheming people, you even help them count the money after being betrayed. "
The Jia Lian looked unconvinced and whispered, "How is my son stupid?"
Jia Xie said, "Didn't you come to Yangzhou to wait for your uncle to die? Then you can take all of the Lin family's property back to the capital? If you can take all of this money and keep it for yourself, Father won't say anything. But you only took a small portion of the money, and the rest was taken away by others. You've worked so hard and racked your brains to do so many things, but in the end, you're only working for others. If you're not stupid, then what are you? "
"Master, what nonsense are you talking about!" Jia Xie said too bluntly, and the Jia Lian felt very embarrassed. He defended himself, "There is something that you may not know. Uncle has already discussed it with the old lady. Sister Lin will marry Baoyu in the future. Uncle also said that everything of the Lin family will be left to Sister Lin as her dowry. Your son is just bringing Sister Lin's dowry back to our mansion in advance. "
"According to what you said, all of the dowry will be returned to Lin girl in the future?"
The Jia Lian opened his mouth. He wanted to resolutely say "yes", but when he saw the mocking smile on Jia Xie's face, he swallowed his words. The Lin family's money was to make up for the deficit in Rongguo Province. When Sister Lin grew up, who knew how much would be left! His father was also a hooligan. If he said too much now, he would have to eat in the future. Therefore, he compromised and vaguely said, "In the future, Sister Lin will always be a person of our Rongguo Province." The hidden meaning was that her dowry would still be in Rongguo Province. It didn't matter if it was given or not.
"Do you think that good second aunt of yours will let Lin girl marry into the family? Don't forget, the first day Lin girl went to Rongguo Province, she showed her power. At that time, Lin girl was only six years old. After that, your wife must have told you about her attitude towards Lin girl. "
The Jia Lian always thought that Jia Xie didn't care about anything except women's antiques. He didn't expect that he would notice this. He was surprised and said disapprovingly, "Everything can be done by the old madam! As long as the old madam agrees, second aunt will have to accept it even if she doesn't want to. "
"The Wang Clan is not easy to accept. Why don't I tell you what she will do? "Jia Xie smiled mockingly and said," Isn't it easy to prevent Lin girl from marrying Baoyu? As long as she is dead, the marriage naturally won't happen. "
"Master, be careful with your words!" The Jia Lian said in surprise, "Master, you are getting more and more ridiculous. If these words are spread, our Rongguo Province will be finished!"
"So what if Lin girl is dead? You brought her back, and you brought the Lin family's money back. Even if someone wants to investigate the murder of an official's daughter and embezzlement of property, they will look for you. How can Rongguo Province be finished? When the old madam cries, your good second uncle and second aunt will put justice before family and say that they didn't know anything about what you did. Then they will be able to get away with it. After all, you did everything, and they didn't have anything to do with it. In the end, only you will be sacrificed. Don't you think you are being sold and counting money for others? But other people are selling their bodies, but you are selling your life! "
The Jia Lian felt cold all over and his mind went blank … He wanted to yell at Jia Xie and say that she was wrong, but there was a voice in his heart that said, "Your father is right, you are a complete fool who was used by others."
Because he clearly remembered the greed in Lady Wang's eyes when she talked about the Lin family's wealth, and the disgust in her eyes when she talked about Sister Lin. As for the old madam … she had always been partial to the second branch. For the sake of Baoyu, she would not let anything happen to Lady Wang.
The Jia Lian licked his lips and said with difficulty, "What benefits can they get by sacrificing me? Aren't they afraid that others will say that they are heartless? The old madam can't even bear to punish the servants … "
"Benefits? Great benefits. The title of nobility in the imperial court will only be passed down to the direct descendants, not the concubines. If you and I are dead, Rongguo Province and the title of nobility will rightfully belong to the second branch. "
"How can that be?" The Jia Lian was paralyzed and his face was ashen. He said in a trembling voice, "I am their nephew and grandson!"
"Otherwise, how do you think your mother and brother died?"
The Jia Lian was stunned for a moment and suddenly raised his head. The blood in his body froze, as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss.
"Master is wise. You guessed right." Wen Dongyan's face was full of joy. He stroked his beard and said with a smile, "The scabby-headed monk did go to the Xue family, and it was for the Xue family's daughter."
Shuijing wanted to be modest, but he did not expect Wen Dongyan to use the word "guessed." He had clearly gone through a round of deliberation. Shuijing did not even bother to roll his eyes. Was it so difficult to admire him?
Shuijing pursed his lips. "Did he also ask the Xue family to abandon this girl?"
"Not this one." Wen Dongyan waved his fan and said, "Miss Xue is the same as Miss Lin. She also has a congenital deficiency. It seems that her illness is phlegm disease. Xue family invited countless doctors and took a lot of medicine for her illness, but there was no effect. Then that scabby-headed monk appeared and said that Miss Xue was a heat poison from the womb. Ordinary medicine was useless, and she had to take the Sea Immortal Pill. He also gave her a packet of powder as a primer and made it into pills with other ingredients. He said that she would be fine after taking one pill every time her illness flared up. That's strange. Miss Xue's illness really was suppressed. "
Shuijing muttered to himself, "Is there a prescription?"
"The spy made a copy." Wen Dongyan's lips curled up. "This medicine has a good name. It's called Cold Fragrance Pill."
Jia Lian suddenly stopped crying and burped loudly. "Master, is what you said true?"
"It's true, it's true. When have I ever lied to you? Hurry and get up. "
Of course he had, and more than once. But that was just to prank him. He was usually quite reliable when it came to serious matters.
Jia Lian muttered in her heart. After she stood up, she reminded him worriedly, "Master, you must remember. Don't ever forget."
Why didn't he realize that Jia Lian was like this before?? Shut up.
Shui Jing rolled his eyes and couldn't be bothered with him anymore.
Lin Ruhai was completely dumbfounded. He didn't understand why Jia Lian was more like a victim than him. He finally came to his senses and couldn't help but say angrily, "Jia Lian, what do you mean!? Are you saying that I'm falsely accusing you and your father? "
Jia Lian sniffed hard and looked at Lin Ruhai from the corner of her eyes. She sneered, "It was Old Madam who harmed you and Minmei. It's written in black and white. Don't blame me for it. Hmph! So what if Minmei is the daughter of the Jia family? So what if Brother Mo is the grandson of the Jia family? My Hu Ge 'er is the eldest grandson of the Jia family. Old Madam also watched him get killed. Old Madam didn't mean anything to Minmei and Brother Mo. She never wanted to harm them. My Hu Ge 'er is the unlucky one of eight lifetimes to have such a grandmother who can't wait for him to die. "
"You, you mean …" Lin Ruhai widened his eyes and opened his mouth. He was almost speechless.
As the saying goes, don't wash your dirty linen in public. Someone else's dirty linen? They couldn't wait to cover it up, for fear that outsiders would find out. Jia Lian didn't feel ashamed at all. She couldn't wait to tell the whole world about her dirty linen. This matter.
"Everyone in the capital knows that my Brother Lian lives with the second branch and takes care of the housework for Jia Zheng. He doesn't look like the heir of Rongguo Province at all. He can't even order the servants in Rongguo Province. How can he order Minmei's concubine? " Jia Lian sneered, "Old Madam wants to give all the good things to the second branch. She even gave Brother Lian's place in the Imperial College to Jia Zhu. It's a pity that Jia Zhu doesn't have the fortune to enjoy it. He has received too many blessings that shouldn't be his. Didn't he die of exhaustion? Why do you think Old Madam is still involved in the fight for the throne at such an old age? Isn't it to pave the way for her precious phoenix egg that she gave birth to? "
"Rongguo Province is no longer the same as when you married Minmei. The masters don't do anything productive, but the masters and servants are rich, honorable, and pay attention to ostentation. The Wang Clan likes to be Pi Xiu. They cheated Rongguo Province out of most of the money, so they symbolically gave the right to manage the household to Brother Lian's wife. In fact, she is still the one managing the household. My wife is also stupid. She thought that the Wang Clan didn't trust her, so she fought for the limelight everywhere to show off. Rongguo Province is already unable to make ends meet, but she still desperately tried to hold on and secretly pawned her dowry to make up for the deficit in Rongguo Province. Old Madam's heart is like a mirror. How can these things be hidden from her? She just doesn't want to admit that Rongguo Province has already lost. "
Lin Ruhai became more and more alarmed as he listened. Jia Min often talked about Rongguo Province's grandeur and grandeur at home. Even the third-class servants ate and wore much better than the madams and young ladies of wealthy families. When he married Jia Min, he also went to Rongguo Province many times. He also agreed with Jia Min's words. He didn't expect that in just a short ten years, Rongguo Province would become so bleak. They even had to rely on their wives to pawn their dowry to maintain the family's daily expenses.
Shuijing and Wen Dongyan thought highly of Jia Xie. They thought that he had lived a muddle-headed life all these years, but they didn't expect that he understood it better than anyone else.
"Do you want to know why those escorts only took over the fields and finances? It's because these can be exchanged for shining silver. I don't know if Brother Lian knows about these things, but I'm sure that most of the money went into the second branch's pockets. " Jia Xie said bitterly, "In the future, if we investigate, the second branch won't be implicated. The crime will all be my Brother Lian's. Brother Lian's served them sincerely for so many years. They can really bear to let him be a scapegoat just for a lousy title. "
Lin Ruhai opened his mouth and said with difficulty, "Second Brother-in-law is modest and kind … are you … misunderstanding?"
"Modest and kind? Old Madam is kind and benevolent! "Jia Xie said sarcastically," Let's not talk about anything else. Let's talk about my niece, Daiyu. Ah, Brother-in-law, you were very affectionate to Minmei and Mo'er just now. How can you be so cruel to your only daughter? You only let her take a nanny and a maid to the capital. Aren't you afraid that she will be bullied to death? "
Lin Ruhai felt the blood in his body turn cold. His ears were buzzing, "What do you think happened to Daiyu? She didn't have a good life in Rongguo Province? "
"Do you know which gate Daiyu used to enter Rongguo Province?" Jia Xie laughed, "It was the corner gate. This is Daiyu's status in Rongguo Province. "
Lin Ruhai's blood rushed to the top of his head. His vision turned black.
Shuijing and Wen Dongyan also didn't expect that Rongguo Province would treat Lin Daiyu like this. Lin Daiyu was the daughter of a second-rank official and the granddaughter of Rongguo Province. Although she couldn't use the main gate, she could use the side gate.
Doors usually represented a very strong color of rank. The main gate was usually only opened for weddings, funerals, or when elders, high-ranking officials, or people of noble status arrived. If Jia Min brought Lin Daiyu back to Rongguo Province, they could also use the main gate. If they used the side gate, their status would naturally be lower than the host's. On the other hand, Jiaomen was mostly used by servants and people of low status to avoid bumping into people of high status.
Jia Xie probably felt that Lin Ruhai's lightning strike wasn't severe enough. She continued, "The servants in Rongguo Province are the most powerful. They are used to flattering people and trampling on people of low status. When Daiyu entered Rongguo Province in such a shabby manner, they all thought that Daiyu was a poor relative who came to ask for money! You don't believe me. Even if you let Daiyu hold a priceless book, those people can only smell the smell of poverty. If you let Daiyu hold a gold ingot, they will treat her like an ancestor. Moreover, those people are all talkative and love to gossip about their masters. Daiyu listens to these gossips all day long. Do you think she can live well? "
"It should be the same person. It seems that Miss Zhen was also three years old at that time. "
Shuijing was puzzled.
Why would a monk let two little girls who were born in a rich nest follow him? To be a monk or a nun? She had never heard of a monk and a nun hanging out together all day long. Even if the two little girls were destined to become monks, they should go to a nunnery to cultivate. Since ancient times, there were many young ladies from official families who went to a nunnery to cultivate. This had never had anything to do with monks. Wasn't this scabby-headed monk a bit like a dog trying to catch a mouse?
