Chapter 289: Jia Mu is Poisoned
Jia's grandmother's health was not as good as before, and Jia Zheng knew it. Seeing that she had closed her eyes and was ready to rest, he quickly and quietly retreated without daring to make a sound.
Only when he arrived outside Rong Xi Tang did he breathe a sigh of relief. No matter what, he had finally convinced the old lady.
He really did not let Mrs. Wang worry about inviting the Lin family. As Jia Min's second brother, he was very confident that he could invite her over, so he was not worried at all.
As for how the Lin family would react when they received the invitation, it was not within Mrs. Wang's consideration.
She knew Jia Zheng too well, and knew that as long as he promised something, he would definitely get it done.
What she had to do now was to plan the events of that day carefully, and try to make them foolproof, so that those people from the Lin family would regret coming here... and regret going against her.
She couldn't wait to see the pitiful appearance of the Lin family, who must be shocked, terrified and at a loss.
She wanted to see whether the Lin family could still act arrogant and look down on others in such a situation.
The gloom that had been accumulating in Mrs. Wang's heart for many days dissipated a lot.

Lin House.
When Jia Min received the invitation sent by Jia Zheng, she was teaching Lin Daiyu how to manage the household. She held the invitation in her hand, feeling very puzzled.
"What's the big deal?"
She opened the invitation and saw the contents. She was immediately furious. "This is outrageous."
Seeing her so angry, Lin Daiyu hurriedly asked, "Mother, what's wrong?"
"Take a look for yourself." Jia Min handed her the invitation. "I don't know what your second uncle is thinking. It's really outrageous."
Lin Daiyu took a closer look, and her expression gradually turned cold. "So what is mother going to do?"
Jia Min snorted, "Of course I won't go. Don't I know who Wang is? If she can reform herself, the sun will rise from the west."
That's why her confused second brother couldn't see it.
Wang must have other plans this time and is just waiting for them to take the bait. Jia Min must have nothing better to do so she is asking for trouble.
Lin Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief, almost imperceptibly. She was glad that her mother thought this way. She had been worried that her mother would take the few bonds of kinship into consideration and fall into Wang's trap.
As for how Jia Zheng would react after being rejected, Jia Min didn't care.
However, it would be better not to let Chengyu know about this. Even though it is not a big deal, it does affect my mood.
But this matter eventually reached Lin Chengyu's ears.
"Apologize?" He seemed to have heard a joke, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his beautiful eyes. "I think it should be the Hongmen Banquet."
Lin Chengyu stretched lazily. "I know Wang very well. She must have thought of something immoral this time that would harm others and herself. That's why she acted so abnormally. But my foolish uncle actually believed it."
Confused uncle...
Xuan Zheng laughed, "If you don't want to go, then don't go."
******
After Jia Zheng's first invitation was rejected, he listened to the servant's report and could not believe what he heard. For a moment he wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.
Jia Min actually rejected him. He was her biological brother. How could she do that?
At this moment, Jia Zheng's mind was full of doubts and dissatisfaction.
But this was obviously not the time to talk about this. He had already promised Wang to invite several people from the Lin family. Now that Jia Min was unwilling to come, things would become difficult.
A gentleman's word is as good as his bond, and Jia Zheng did not want to break his promise.
"Keep posting please!"
"Yes."
Jia Zheng thought, if inviting once doesn't work, then invite twice, and if inviting twice doesn't work, then invite three times... I'll be able to invite people over eventually.
However, the invitations sent out seemed to fall into the sea, with no response at all.
Jia Zheng told Mrs. Wang about this in frustration, "That's fine, when Sister Min calms down after a while, she will naturally be willing to come over."
"It's all my fault. I did all those wrong things. It's normal that Sister Min doesn't want to see me." Madam Wang wiped away her non-existent tears with a handkerchief, but hatred was hidden in her eyes. "Master is tired too, so you should rest early."
Jia Zheng once again felt that she had truly repented and reformed, otherwise why would she be so considerate? After saving his face, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You should also take a good rest."
After that, he left without looking back.
If Jia Zheng had been so impatient to leave in the past, Mrs. Wang would always have felt uncomfortable, but now, she could only put on a smile and respectfully see Jia Zheng off.
But it was impossible for her to let the Lin family go.
When Grandmother Jia heard that Jia Min was not coming, she was disappointed but also somewhat relieved. It was a good thing that she was not coming. If she had come, something might have happened, and it would have been a difficult situation.
Today's Jia family can no longer withstand any storm.
Just as he was thinking, Mrs. Wang came in with a warm smile on her face, "Is the old ancestor feeling better today? I heard that the old ancestor had no appetite, so I specially asked someone to prepare some easy-to-digest food. The old ancestor should at least eat some."
She smiled attentively, but Grandmother Jia always felt that something was wrong, always felt that something was very strange, so she was not polite to her. Even when Lady Wang brought food, she just said lightly: "Put it down."
Mrs. Wang was treated coldly, but she did not show any anger. She still looked respectful and polite, "Grandpa, please eat it while it's hot. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
Grandmother Jia didn't eat. Instead, she lectured her again. Her words were full of warnings, and her nagging was really annoying.
Mrs. Wang almost couldn't hold back the smile on her face.
Just a few days later, Jia Min received news from Rongguo Mansion:
Grandmother Jia was poisoned.
Jia Min was instantly panicked.
When she arrived at Rong Xi Tang, Jia's mother was lying on the bed, her face was pale and her lips were black. When Jia Min saw this, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Mother!"
It took everyone's persuasion to finally convince the man to stop.
The poison in Lady Jia's body is not difficult to cure, but she is an elderly person after all, and has suffered one blow after another during this period. Her health is no longer as good as before. It is not known whether she can survive this time.
Mrs. Wang's face was filled with sorrow. "Sister, I don't know if the old lady can survive this. Do you think we should ask our nephew and niece to come over..."
She paused and sighed sadly, "It's better to be safe than sorry. Send someone over earlier. If the old lady is fine, it's fine. But if she doesn't make it, we should also be prepared in advance."
