"Good, very good!" Jia Xie was so angry that her whole body trembled. "So they're digging a hole for my Lian Ge 'er! They, they've gone too far! "
She plopped down on her knees in front of Shuijing and wailed, "Master, you must uphold justice for me! I've been bullied to this extent by them, but they still won't let it go. They actually want me to die without a son! They're too damn vicious. " Jia Xie was so angry that she even cursed, "It's fine if they put a sword on my neck, but I didn't even blink. But now they want to harm Lian Ge 'er! Master, I dare to swear to the heavens that it was definitely the second branch who ordered Lian Ge 'er to do this. Lian Ge' er might not even know! Why do you think they're so vicious?! It's not enough that they harmed Xianfang and Hu Ge 'er, but they also want to kill my other son. Master, if you don't help me, I can only go to their house and hang myself. See if I can scare these black-hearted bastards to death. "
Jia Xie cried with tears and snot running down her face. She looked very embarrassed.
Shuijing felt a headache coming on. "Alright, get up and stop crying. I'll uphold justice for you. With me here, no one can hurt a Jia Lian. "
Jia She abruptly stopped crying and let out a loud burp. "Master, is what you said true?"
"It's true, it's true. When have I ever lied to you? Get up quickly. "
Of course, he had lied to him, and more than once. But those were all to prank him. Generally, he was quite reliable when it came to serious matters.
Jia Xie muttered in her heart. After standing up, she reminded him worriedly, "Master, you must remember. Don't ever forget."
Why didn't he realize that Jia Xie was like this before?? Shut up.
Shuijing rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore.
Lin Ruhai was completely confused. He didn't understand why Jia Xie was more like a victim than him. He finally came back to his senses and couldn't help but say angrily, "Jia Xie, what do you mean!? So I'm framing you and your father? "
Jia Xie sniffed hard and looked at Lin Ruhai from the corner of her eyes. She sneered, "The old lady was the one who harmed you and Minmei. It's written in black and white. Don't try to pin the blame on me. Humph! 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. The Old Madam didn't mean anything to Minmei and Mo Ge. She never wanted to hurt them. My family's Hu Ge 'er is the one with eight lifetimes of bad luck to have such a grandmother who can't wait for him to die. "
"You, you mean …" Lin Ruhai's eyes widened. His mouth was agape, but he couldn't say a word.
As the saying goes, don't wash your dirty linen in public. Other people's pickles? They couldn't wait to cover it up, for fear that outsiders would know about it. Jia Xie didn't feel ashamed at all. She couldn't wait to tell the whole world about the pickles in her family. This matter.
"Who in the capital doesn't know that my family's Brother Lian lives with the second branch and does 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 Xie sneered, "The old lady 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 the old lady 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 clearly can't 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. The old lady'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 lived in ignorance all these years, but they didn't expect him to know better than anyone else.
"Do you want to know why those escorts only took over the land 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 these silver went into the pockets of the second branch. " 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 make him a scapegoat for the sake of 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 mama 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.
Gates generally represented a 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 came. 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.
