Mrs. Wang had already forgotten that Jia Lian had been running around these days, working hard all day long for Jia Baoyu's affairs without a moment's rest.

In her heart, Jia Baoyu is the treasure of Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Lian should do anything for him. Even though the first wife has inherited the title now, when Baoyu grows up and the empress has established a firm foothold in the palace, this huge Rongguo Mansion will be in the pocket of the second wife.

As a result, Mrs. Wang became more and more disdainful of Jia Lian.

"How dare I show off my power?" Jia Lian sneered, "The one who shows off his power is Jia Baoyu who is hiding behind you. He is not young anymore and spends all his time eating, drinking and having fun. This time he almost caused trouble and implicated the entire Rongguo Mansion."

Jia Baoyu had never been treated like this by Jia Lian before, and he was very scared. He hid behind Mrs. Wang and dared not say a word. He was like a little child who would just hide when encountering problems.

But Mrs. Wang was so distressed that she pointed at Jia Lian's nose and scolded him, "You bastard, Baoyu is still young. Even if he is a little ignorant, you, as his brother, should teach him well instead of speaking ill of him like you are doing now."

Jia Lian twitched his lips and said, "Madam, you have time to talk to me so much. Why don't you first ask what your good son has done?"

"Baoyu is just a child, what can he do?" Mrs. Wang leaned over and whispered to Jia Baoyu, "Good boy, don't be afraid. With your mother here, no one dares to bully you..."

"Humph."

Jia Lian found it really funny and snorted coldly without disguising himself, which frightened Jia Baoyu so much that he shivered and earned a vicious look from Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang patted Jia Baoyu's arm and said softly, "Don't pay attention to him. If you have any grievances, just tell me. Your mother will definitely take care of it for you. The old lady is here too, and she will definitely not let you suffer any grievances."

Grandmother Jia's face turned even darker.

Jia Baoyu's eyes wandered, and he said guiltily, "I have not been wronged, mother, please don't ask."

Mrs. Wang felt even more distressed. "My dear child, I am deeply distressed to see you trying to compromise like this. Don't be afraid. Just tell me. I will seek justice for you today and will not let those villains slander you."

But Jia Baoyu didn't dare to say anything. He hesitated for a long time and said nothing. When Wang Fu-ren questioned him again, not only did his eyes turn red with anxiety, but sweat also broke out on his forehead.

Mrs. Wang was convinced that Jia Baoyu had suffered a great injustice. When she turned her head to look at Jia Lian, her eyes were not friendly at all. She seemed to think that Jia Lian was a villain who had committed many evil deeds.

"Old lady, Baoyu has suffered such a great injustice today, you can't just stand by and watch." Mrs. Wang knew that Jia Lian respected Lady Jia the most, so she didn't say much to him and wanted to bring out Lady Jia to compete with Jia Lian.

She knew that Grandmother Jia favored Jia Baoyu, and she glanced at Jia Lian with a smug look, as if she had already predicted the outcome. "Baoyu grew up under your care, and you know him best. Although he is sometimes naughty, he is always cautious and careful when he is out. Lian'er must have wronged him this time. You can't just listen to one-sided words and let Baoyu suffer injustice."

After saying this, Mrs. Wang seemed to be feeling aggrieved. She stood with Jia Baoyu and opposite Jia Lian.

This scene looked like Jia Lian was bullying them and their mother.

Grandmother Jia slammed the table violently. From the sound alone, one could tell that she could no longer suppress her anger.

Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Lian with pride, waiting for him to be scolded by Lady Jia.

"It's really abominable to be so indiscriminate." Grandmother Jia cursed angrily, and Mrs. Wang nodded repeatedly as she listened.

But what surprised her was that Jia Lian did not show any fear at all when being reprimanded like this.

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but think in her heart, could it be that this bastard's character is so determined?

But gradually, she felt something was wrong.

Just now I heard that he was scolding Jia Lian, but now the more I listen, the more I feel that he is scolding her.

Mrs. Wang was full of doubts and hesitated to speak: "Old lady, you..."

As she spoke, her eyes turned to Lady Jia.

You won’t know until you see it, and it’s amazing.

The look that Lady Jia gave her was too scary.

How is this going?

Mrs. Wang was completely confused. She didn't even care about Jia Lian's gloating sneer. She was about to ask the question in her mind, but Grandmother Jia almost pointed at her nose and scolded her, "Stupid woman, shut up."

Being scolded by Lady Jia in front of the younger generation, Mrs. Wang felt as if her face was thrown to the ground and crushed. Her face turned blue and white, and she finally shut up.

The mother and son stood together "pitifully". If someone who didn't know the situation saw this scene, who knows how much gossip would be spread.

Amid Jia's scolding, Mrs. Wang knew the whole story and felt a little ashamed and annoyed. "If that's the case, Lian'er should have explained it to me earlier."

Jia Lian pulled a fake smile at the corner of his mouth, "I would like to say it, but Madam, you have to give me a chance to say it."

Mrs. Wang looked embarrassed and said to Jia's mother, "Old lady, as the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime. This time I was reckless. Please forgive me for my concern."

Grandmother Jia didn't want to argue with her at the moment. She looked at Jia Lian with some worry, "Lian'er, since Qi Guan's path doesn't work, we have to find someone else as soon as possible. I heard that the crown prince of Qianxiang will be going back soon, so we don't have much time left."

Jia Lian glanced at Jia Baoyu and saw that he was playing dumb again, waiting for others to help him. He immediately threw his sleeves in annoyance and said, "I will intensify my search in the next few days. It won't be a problem if there are others. The most difficult thing is to find someone who can satisfy the Crown Prince of Qianxiang. She has seen so many men that she will not be interested in ordinary people."

Jia Baoyu listened at the side, feeling as if a stone was hanging on his heart. At first he was not particularly anxious, as he thought that with Jia Lian's intervention, the matter would be resolved quickly.

I didn't expect it to be so troublesome.

If he can't find it, he will have to go to Qianxiang Country to marry.

Not only would he have to stay with one woman for his entire life, but he would also have to compete for favor with other men. When Jia Baoyu thought about it, he felt a dark cloud before his eyes.

Mrs. Wang saw that he looked uneasy, so she whispered a few words to comfort him, and then said, "Your second brother Lian is very capable, and he will definitely find someone to replace you. You just wait at home peacefully..."

Not to mention that Jia Lian felt uncomfortable after hearing this, even Grandmother Jia felt that she was being too rude. No matter what, she couldn't say these things in front of Jia Lian. Isn't this intentional to make people feel unhappy?

What a stupid woman.

Grandmother Jia didn't know why Lady Wang had become like this, but she could only comfort Jia Lian, "You've worked hard. When the matter is settled, I'll let Baoyu thank you properly."

If it were in the past, Jia Lian would definitely say that it was his duty, but now, he just felt tired.

On the other side of Grandmother Jia, Mrs. Wang persuaded Jia Baoyu to study at home, but Jia Baoyu said: "Qin Zhong invited me to drink, and Brother Xue is also here..."

Qin Zhong?!

Grandmother Jia and Mrs. Wang seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. They looked at each other and then looked at Jia Lian at the same time.
