"Hehe,
It's just too clear,
That's why I dare to say that. "Jia Xie smiled mockingly,
"Isn't it because the Old Madam and the Wang Clan asked you to do this? Don't cover up for them. Don't I know what kind of people they are? The son doesn't speak of the mother's mistakes, so I won't talk about the Old Madam. Let's talk about your good Second Aunt. She looks kind on the surface, but her heart is blacker than ink,
Her personality is worse than the filth in the latrine pit. She's sinister, cunning, greedy, and vicious. With such a large sum of money in front of her, how could she not do everything possible to get it into her private savings? If she didn't get a single copper coin,
She would vomit and not be able to sleep at night. "
Jia Xie spoke very quickly,
Especially when she described Lady Wang. She didn't even take a breath in between. In fact, all these years,
Jia Xie would greet Lady Wang's ancestors in her heart almost every day. She didn't greet Jia Zheng because they were the same ancestors. However, she could only greet them in her heart and not say it out loud. It was really frustrating. Now, she finally had a chance to vent,
Jia Xie felt much better.
The Jia Lian was stunned again.
Although he had long known that his father didn't like Second Uncle and Second Aunt,
He had always thought that it was because they lived in Glory Hall. However, it was the Old Madam's idea that Second Uncle and his wife lived in Glory Hall,
Even if his father was angry, he couldn't resent the Old Madam,
He could only vent his anger on Second Uncle and Second Aunt. However, 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 even more.
The Jia Lian recalled Lady Wang's actions over the years. Although Lady Wang wasn't as kind as outsiders thought, she wasn't as bad as his father said. Could there be a misunderstanding? Perhaps someone wanted to sow discord between the first branch and the second branch?
The Jia Lian had an intuition that there was a conspiracy, a big conspiracy, so his face became serious and he asked seriously, "Master, did someone talk nonsense in front of you? Please tell me the truth. "
Jia Xie was still immersed in the pleasure of mocking Lady Wang. When the Jia Lian asked this question, he didn't respond immediately. "Honestly what? And who's talking nonsense in front of me? What nonsense are you spouting? "
The Jia Lian saw that his eyes didn't flicker and he didn't look guilty. He was a little confused and asked, "Master, why did you say those words? Wasn't Second Aunt … doing well? 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 the right thing to lead his son to the bright road first. After all, it was easy to fall into the gutter if one took too many shortcuts.
Thinking of this, he clicked his tongue twice, shook his head, and said disappointedly, "Your mother and I are very smart. How could we give birth to such a silly son like you? You usually look very smart, but when you meet those scheming people, you help them count the money even when you're being sold. "
The Jia Lian looked unconvinced and whispered, "How is my son silly?"
Jia Xie said, "Didn't you come to Yangzhou to wait for your uncle to die? Then you can take all the property of the Lin family back to the capital? If you can take all the money and keep it for yourself, Father won't say anything. But you only take a small amount of the money, and the rest is taken by others. You've worked so hard and racked your brains to do so many things, but in the end, you're making a wedding dress for others. If you're not silly, what are you? "
"Master, what nonsense are you talking about!" Jia Xie said too bluntly. The Jia Lian's face was very embarrassed, and he defended himself, "There's something you might 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 fu in advance. "
"According to what you said, all the dowry will be returned to Lin girl in the future?"
The Jia Lian opened his mouth and wanted to say "yes" decisively, but when he saw the mocking smile on Jia Xie's face, he swallowed back his words. The money of the Lin family will be used to make up for the deficit in Rongguo Province. When Sister Lin grows up, who knows how much will be left! His father was also a scoundrel. If he said too much now, he would have a hard time in the future. Therefore, he compromised and vaguely said, "In the future, Sister Lin will be a citizen of Rongguo Province." The hidden meaning was that her dowry will still be in Rongguo Province, and it didn't matter if it was given or not.
"Do you think your good Second Aunt will let Lin girl marry into the family? Don't forget, the first day Lin girl went to Rongguo Province, she gave her a show of strength. At that time, Lin girl was only six years old. Your wife must have told you about her attitude towards Lin girl after that. "
The Jia Lian always thought that Jia Xie didn't care about anything other than women's antiques. He didn't expect him to notice this. He was surprised and said disapprovingly, "Everything will be left to the old lady! As long as the old lady agrees, Second Aunt will have to accept it even if she doesn't want to. "
"The Wang Clan isn't easily reconciled. 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 the official's legitimate daughter and embezzlement of property, they will look for you. How can Rongguo Province be finished? Once the old lady cries, your good Second Uncle and Second Aunt will put righteousness before family and say that they didn't know anything about what you did, and they will be able to wash their hands clean. After all, you did everything, and they didn't have anything to do with it. In the end, you are the only one who is sacrificed. Tell me, aren't you being sold off and counting money for them? But other people are selling their bodies, but you are selling your life! "
The Jia Lian only 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, and 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 that flashed in her eyes when she mentioned Sister Lin. As for the old lady … she had always been partial to the second branch. She wouldn't let anything happen to Lady Wang, even if it was for Baoyu.
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 lady doesn't even have the heart to punish the servants … "
"Benefits? Great benefits. The title of nobility in the imperial court is passed down to the direct descendants, not to 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's body went limp, 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 froze for a moment and suddenly raised his head. The blood in his body froze, and he felt 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 smiled, saying, "The scabby-headed monk did go to the Xue family, and it was for the Xue family's daughter."
Shuijing originally wanted to be modest, but he didn't expect Wen Dongyan to use the word "guessed." He had clearly gone through a round of deliberation. Shuijing didn't even bother to roll his eyes. Was it so difficult to admire him?
Shuijing pursed his lips, "Did he also make the Xue family abandon this girl?"
"Not this one." Wen Dongyan waved his fan and said tirelessly, "Miss Xue is the same as Miss Lin. She has a congenital deficiency, and 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 at all. 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 medicine. He also gave her a packet of powder as a primer and made it into pills with other things. He said that she would be fine after taking one pill every time she had an attack. That's strange. Miss Xue's illness was really suppressed. "
Shuijing pondered for a moment, "Do you have the prescription?"
"The spy made a copy." Wen Dongyan's lips curled up. "This medicine has a pretty good name. It's called Cold Fragrance Pill."
However, this monotonous life was disrupted in recent days because a new fortune-teller came to the east side of the city. This fortune-teller broke their previous understanding of fortune-tellers.
Fortune-Tellers were usually old and thin with long beards. At first glance, they gave off the impression that this fortune-teller was very experienced and exuded an immortal aura. However, this new fortune-teller looked to be in his early thirties. His face was clean and fair, and his features were handsome. He had a noble aura. Those who didn't know him would think that he was a nobleman on an inspection tour.
Because of this person's good looks, all the people in the county, regardless of whether they were men or women, from old people in their eighties to children of four or five years old, loved to come to the east of the city to take a look at him when they had nothing better to do. It could also be considered as a way to increase the economy of the surrounding area.
Logically speaking, this fortune-teller's business should be very good with so many people coming and going. However, the strange thing was that there was not a single person in front of his fortune-telling stall. Compared to the bustling business going on around him, it was even more tragic. Some people who didn't know wanted to have their fortunes told. Regardless of whether it was accurate or not, it was a great blessing in life to be able to communicate with such a good-looking person in close proximity. However, when they saw the words on the fortune-telling banner beside him, they could only stop and leave regretfully.
This was also the difference between this fortune-teller and ordinary fortune-tellers. Ordinary fortune-tellers' banners had words like "Ask for Fortune", "Half Immortal X", "Divine Strategy and Wonderful Fortune" written on them. However, this fortune-telling banner had the words "Does ten taels of silver per divination count" written in large font.
However, most of the people in the county were poor farmers. Ten taels of silver was equivalent to a year of their family's expenses. Even if their families were slightly better off, they were unwilling to spend this money on fortune-telling. Thus, for a few days, no one knew the name of this fortune-teller or whether his fortune-telling skills were accurate or not.
On this day, as the sun was setting in the west, this fortune-teller was once again in the predicament of "not opening for business". At this time, a group of burly men with ferocious faces walked over from the street. Their small eyes faintly flashed with an ominous glint, and at their waists, they were all equipped with black sheathed steel sabers.
When the surrounding peddlers saw them, they all shrunk their bodies and lowered their heads, not daring to speak. The commoners who came out to buy things also lowered their heads and carefully walked in the opposite direction, afraid of encountering this group of ferocious fiends.
When the fortune-teller heard the commotion, he only lazily opened his eyes to take a look, then closed his eyes and went back to sleep.
This group of burly men fiercely looked around in a circle, pressuring the crowd to the point that they didn't dare to breathe loudly. Only then did they aggressively walk in front of the fortune-teller's stall. The person in the lead forcefully slammed his palm on the table and said in an evil voice, "Fortune-Teller, come and tell the fortunes of our brothers!"
The fierce-looking muscles on his face trembled a few times, and his thick arrogance almost reached the heavens.
The surrounding people all prayed in their hearts that this fortune-teller would be tactful and not offend this group of Kings of Hell. Otherwise, if they wanted to see such a handsome young man again, they didn't know how long they would have to wait.
The fortune-teller clearly didn't hear their inner thoughts. He only half opened his eyes and stared at the shaking table. When the table stopped shaking, he raised his eyes to look at the group of burly men. "Ten taels per divination. Pay first and then the fortune will be told." His voice was indifferent and clear, without fear or anger.
