Qi Guan's name is Jiang Yuhan, and she is from Prince Zhongshun's palace. She is charming, with a flexible mind, and is very much loved by Prince Zhongshun.

But the people in the Jia family didn't know. After hearing what Jia Baoyu said, they thought that Qi Guan was just an actor and looked down on him in their hearts.

But at this time, as long as he can solve their urgent needs, no matter what his identity is, he is just a second-rate actor after all, and even if he makes a fuss, he won't cause any trouble.

Mrs. Wang told Jia Baoyu about their plan. When Jia Baoyu heard it, he stood up and said, "How can this be possible? If you do this, you will put me in an unkind and unjust situation. I don't agree with it."

Mrs. Wang was anxious and said, "You kid, he is just a lowly actor. We gave him this opportunity to rise to the top. He should be grateful. But you are a fool. Do you really think he is a noble man?"

Jia Baoyu still had the handkerchief given to him by Qi Guan tied around his waist. He disagreed with Mrs. Wang's words, "Qi Guan is not that kind of person. He is both talented and handsome, loyal and righteous, and very polite to others. If he was born in a family like ours, he might not be worse than me now."

The way he looks now, he really looks like he has been cheated.

"Silly child, he comes from all walks of life and we don't know what kind of people he knows. He has a very smart mind. Don't be fooled by him." In Mrs. Wang's heart, Jia Baoyu is a good child with a pure mind. She is always worried that he will be deceived by those people outside.

Jia Baoyu stubbornly believed that Qi Guan was not the kind of person who was vain and wanted to curry favor with the powerful, so he was unwilling to let him go to another country on his behalf.

Grandmother Jia was in a great trouble for a moment, and said angrily: "If he doesn't go, you will have to go. Then you will be alone in Qianxiang Country. Can you bear to change from a young master of a rich family to a vassal of a woman, and have to please others everywhere?"

"I..." Jia Baoyu obviously couldn't do it, but he didn't want to be the one who betrayed his friends. He was very conflicted for a moment, and his mind was in a mess.

Madam Wang took advantage of the victory and continued, "I heard that there are already several men in the Prince's mansion of Qianxiang Country. If you go there, you will have to serve them together. If you are not careful, you will be harmed by them."

Jia Baoyu was afraid and unwilling. He was a sentimental person and only wanted all the women in the world to be around him. After hearing what Mrs. Wang said, he thought that he would only be able to be around one woman in the future, and he would have to share the same woman with other men...

It's even more painful than killing him.

"Well, what if Qi Guan doesn't want to?" Jia Baoyu felt a little guilty and thought that this was really disloyal.

But he really didn't want to go to Qianxiang Country, so he had to let Qi Guan suffer.

Just as his mother said, maybe Qi Guan was willing to do so in his heart. After all, this was better than being an actor.

After Jia Baoyu comforted himself in this way, the guilt in his heart dissipated a little.

Mrs. Wang thought to herself, he is just a lowly actor. If she gave him a ladder to climb up, there is no reason for him not to go. But she said, "We are not those unreasonable families. We are just mentioning it to him. It is up to him whether he wants to go or not."

Jia Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

In this way, the guilt in his heart would not be so heavy. After all, they did not force Qi Guan, but only gave him a chance to climb up. Whether he wanted to seize this opportunity or not was entirely up to him.

At that time, even if he doesn't live a good life, he can't blame the Jia family. It's his own decision.

But Jia Baoyu had an unspeakable thought in his heart. He actually hoped that Qi Guan would be favored by Shen Li, so that he would not have to go to marry.

Seeing him give in, Jia Mu and the others all breathed a sigh of relief. Mrs. Wang said, "Baoyu is too kind-hearted. He will suffer if he goes out like this."

In the past, after hearing such words, Jia Baoyu would definitely smile awkwardly or make some jokes, but at this moment he really didn't have the mood to do so.

The complicated emotions were like a tangled mess, occupying his mind and making him a little irritated.

Grandmother Jia said to Wang Xifeng, "Let Lian'er go find that Qiguan and talk to him about this matter."

Wang Xifeng quickly agreed.

Jia Baoyu lowered his head, no one knew what he was thinking, and it seemed as if he didn't want to face all this and just wanted to hide himself.

This made Mrs. Wang very distressed, and she began to blame Grandmother Jia in her heart. Baoyu had said that day that he didn't want to enter the palace, but she still forced him into the palace. Now she had caused trouble.

But she forgot that when she heard that the emperor wanted Jia Baoyu to enter the palace that day, she was the first one to jump out and persuade Jia Baoyu.

Mrs. Wang subconsciously wanted to put all the blame on others, but was very tolerant of herself.

Now, she just hoped that Officer Qi would be more sensible and not be ungrateful.

A hint of cruelty flashed through Mrs. Wang's mind. If he was really an ignorant person, she wouldn't mind using some tricks to make him "willingly do it."

In the evening, after Jia Lian came back exhausted, Wang Xifeng told him about this. He was silent for a moment, then said, "What if Qi Guan doesn't want to?"

If it were the Jia Lian of the past, he would not have asked this question. If someone was unwilling, he would naturally have ways to deal with it. But things are different now.

After being taught by Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, Jia Lian and his wife also wanted to accumulate some good karma for their daughter. However, whenever there was something going on, Grandmother Jia and Mrs. Wang would let them charge into battle, while she would hide behind and act like a bodhisattva.

If it were any other matter, Wang Xifeng would have pushed it away herself, but this matter involved Jia Baoyu and it was also Lady Jia's instruction, so they were a little embarrassed for a moment.

Jia Lian took off his outer robe in boredom and lay on the bed. "Baoyu has grown up so much. I run around outside every day for his affairs, but he just stays in the house like a turtle, not caring about anything. It makes me angry just thinking about it."

Wang Xifeng felt sorry for him and knew that he had been very tired these days, but she could do nothing about it. "With the old lady in charge, anyone who dares to do anything wrong to Baoyu would be going against the old lady. Even the first and second masters wouldn't dare to do that. What can we do?"

If it was for the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian would have no complaints even if he broke his legs.

But now, Jia Baoyu doesn't care about anything and just waits to reap the benefits. Jia Lian thinks he is a very responsible brother, but Jia Baoyu doesn't contribute at all, which really makes people feel unfair.

"I will go find Qi Guan tomorrow. If he doesn't want to, there's nothing I can do. I can't put a knife to his neck and force him to go." Jia Lian really wanted to throw this mess away and learn from Jia Baoyu to be a hands-off boss.
