"Master!" Mrs. Wang clutched her chest and looked at Jia Zheng in disbelief, "Baoyu is your own son! How can you say that about him? Baoyu is still young, so he loves to play and doesn't like to study. When you grow up and become more sensible, you will naturally know how to make progress. Whose child didn't come here like this, why is the master so impatient? Besides, he said that scandals are not scandals, but Baoyu was simply coaxed by that cheap screwdriver. Is it as unbearable as the master said? It’s just that you are young and ignorant.”
"He's young? How old is Lan'er? Lan'er knows how to study hard and make progress. He's already 12 years old, but he's not even as good as his little nephew! It's nothing more than a distaste for reading, but he's full of nonsense, and he's simply stubborn. The spirit is extremely absurd! Furthermore, as the saying goes, when one sees an old man at the age of three, he is not willing to be served by an ordinary-looking girl and woman when he is young. As long as the pretty girl with a beautiful appearance has not yet run If you want to eat the rouge on the lips of the girls, you can see that you are a vile child in your bones!"
The more Jia Zheng talked, the angrier he became, recalling all the words and deeds of this son from childhood to this age, he couldn't help showing disgust on his face.
A gentleman is dignified and gentle like jade.
This is the son he was looking forward to in his heart.
But what about Jia Baoyu?There is only a skin that can coax people, but in reality it is gold and jade, and its appearance is ruined.
Even if he is not good at reading, at least he has a good conduct, at most he will be a little disappointed and regretful, and he will not be so disgusted, but...
The deep disgust on Jia Zheng's face made Mrs. Wang feel terrified, and a panic spread in her heart, "Master... Baoyu is still a child, just teach him well..."
Before the words fell, a noise came from outside the house.
Jia Zheng frowned and shouted angrily, "Who is presumptuous!"
Jin Chuan'er outside replied: "It's Qingwen who is in front of Baoyu, who said something happened..."
When Mrs. Wang heard that something had happened to her lifeblood, she was immediately startled, she hurriedly called someone in, and asked, "What happened to Baoyu?"
"It's not Baoyu's accident, it's Xiren..." Qingwen pursed her lips, lowered her head to hide her expression, and said, "Just now Baoyu heard that Mr. Qin had gone, so she clamored to see him, Xiren Persuading him to go tomorrow when it was too late, Baoyu refused and pushed Xiren, who bumped into the table immediately, and then... blood flowed from his body..."
Jia Zheng didn't realize it for a while, but Mrs. Wang was a woman, but he immediately thought of it, and his face turned dark immediately, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Are you sure?"
Qingwen nodded, "Xiren said it himself. He cried and begged Baoyu to call the doctor. Baoyu seemed to be frightened and was dumbfounded."
Jia Zheng was also thinking about it now, with a look of shock and astonishment on his face, he pointed at Mrs. Wang with a trembling finger, "Is this what you said you were still a child? At the age of 12, you made the belly of the girl next to you big...absurd! It's ridiculous! Don't mention the Lin family anymore, I'm ashamed!" After saying that, he walked away.
Mrs. Wang was speechless, she hated Xiren even more deeply, and she took a few wives to Jia Baoyu's yard.
Xiren had already been lifted onto the bed by a few little girls, his young face turned pale from the severe pain, his hands were clutching his stomach and howling, he looked very miserable and horrifying very.
Jia Baoyu didn't know if he was scared stupid, so he stood quietly by the side, his eyes were blank, showing a bit of helplessness and fear.
"Where is the doctor? Has the doctor come yet?" Xi Ren asked anxiously, holding back the pain and panic.
After the words fell, a cold voice came from the door, "What kind of doctor do you want? Are you worthy?"
As soon as Mrs. Wang stepped into the house, a strong smell of blood came to her nostrils, and she frowned in disgust, "What a loyal and treacherous bastard! I have lived half my life, and it was a little girl like you The film has been fooled, you are really capable!"
Those eyes were cold and cold, as if looking at a dead person.
Xiren couldn't help but flinched, panicked, and subconsciously glanced at Jia Baoyu.
This glance added fuel to the fire.
"Come here!" Mrs. Wang said with a cold face like a demon, "Prepare a dose of medicine for this bitch, and then throw her out of the house!"
Immediately, the women who brought him with him stepped forward and dragged the attacker off the bed, and they were brutal and merciless.
The attacker turned pale with fright, and cried, "Madam, please forgive me! Madam... Baoyu! Baoyu save me!"
Jia Baoyu seemed to wake up from a dream. Seeing Xiren's miserable appearance, he couldn't help showing pity, his lips parted slightly, but when he met Mrs. Wang's cold expression, he was instantly dumb.
"Baoyu, I know you've always been the most soft-hearted, but not this time." Mrs. Wang looked softer when she looked at Jia Baoyu, but the words she uttered were still cold and ruthless, "This girl is a traitor in her heart. It's the most honest thing to do, but now... She knew she was pregnant a long time ago, but why did she keep it a secret and refused to reveal a word? But she just wanted to wait for her belly to get bigger, and wait until the fetus was formed. , when the time comes, we can't help but soften our hearts, so that she will be as expensive as a mother and a child."
"That's not the case... Ma'am, you misunderstood..."
Xiren still wanted to argue, but Mrs. Wang was impatient to pester her any longer, she only signaled to her mother-in-law, "Drag on!"
"Baoyu! Baoyu save me! Baoyu!"
But even though she cried and yelled and broke her throat, she still couldn't wait for Jia Baoyu to say a word.
Seeing this situation, Qingwen on the side suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Although she didn't like Xiren's superficial behavior, but Xiren had served Baoyu for so long. In such a situation, he refused to even say a word... She knew that he was not that cruel person, but he was too cowardly and weak, too irresponsible, after all, he was someone who had been intimate with him.
After dealing with the attacker, Mrs. Wang beat all the maids around Jia Baoyu severely before leaving.
Jia Baoyu hid in the room and cried into tears, but did not do anything else.
After learning about Mrs. Wang's handling, Mother Jia didn't say much, she just nodded to show that she understood. Under the dim candlelight, her face flickered.
The Lin family wasn't very happy with this marriage at all, if they ask Mr. Xiren to have another child, then don't worry about it. Other high-ranking families, as long as they love the girl, they will never be happy. Baoyu's marriage was even more difficult, so Xiren's child must not be kept.
The heart was sober and indifferent, but there was a look of pity on the face, "That girl is also pitiful... Forget it, you give her 20 taels of silver, and ask two people to send her back home."
Yuanyang wiped the corners of her eyes, "Thank you, old lady, for your kindness."
After this incident, Jia Baoyu was very listless for a few days, listless all day long, and often sat there in a daze, looking out of his mind.
Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang saw it in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts. On the one hand, they were gnashing their teeth with hatred for the attackers, and on the other hand, they were afraid that their precious phoenix egg would be overthinking and suffocate in their hearts.
"Old lady, it's really not good for Baoyu to behave like this. Why don't you ask the girl from the Lin family to sit in the mansion... Baoyu always treats the second girl of the Lin family very differently. Maybe seeing her will make you feel better?"
Jia's mother also thought it was a good idea, so she immediately asked Wang Xifeng to invite someone in person.
Wang Xifeng also responded with a full mouth, but when he arrived at the Lin family, he didn't hide anything, and told the whole story of the matter completely.
Lin Mohan laughed angrily after hearing this, "Jia Baoyu felt uncomfortable and unhappy, so he wanted to ask Yu'er to relieve him? What do they think of my Yu'er? Is it Jia Baoyu's thing? It's too deceptive!"
Lin Daiyu's eyes were reddened and she was silent.
Wang Xifeng sighed: "It's usually fine, but whenever something about Baoyu happens, the old lady will be confused. I really feel ashamed to come here today, but the old lady has made up her mind but will not give up easily. , even if I find an excuse to refuse, she will call others to come, instead of asking you to come to the door for no reason, it is better for me to come this time, so that you will know what to expect."
Lin Daiyu thanked her softly.
Wang Xifeng patted her hand and said: "We don't have to be so far away from each other. I can guess what the old lady and the second lady are thinking. Just hide." Baoyu is not a bad person, but he is definitely not a good person either.
Lin Daiyu was a little sleepy, and not in the mood to chat, so Lin Mohan simply asked her to go back to the room to rest.
"Sister, what do you want to tell me?"
Lin Mohan just laughed, and told all the maids in the room to retreat, and then said: "Since sister-in-law has kindness towards us sisters, I will return a gift to sister-in-law today... If sister-in-law believes in me, then Listen to my advice, don’t let the usury go.”
Wang Xifeng was startled, "How did my sister know that I was lending loan sharks outside?" Even the people next to her pillow didn't know about it.
"It's not important. The important thing is that my sister-in-law knows the pros and cons."
"Sister has something to say and speak it straight." Wang Xifeng frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.
Lin Mohan's face became a little colder, and he said: "Usury money, one repayment three; interest rate, annual repayment; one year borrowing, ten years repayment; several lifetimes, it can't be finished! It can be seen that anyone who is touched by this thing , that is, I have been stuck in the quagmire for the rest of my life, and I can't escape the end of the family! Doesn't my sister-in-law feel hot when holding such money in her hands? Maybe my sister-in-law doesn't believe in retribution from the underworld, but isn't she afraid of losing her head? Is it? Giving usury is a capital offense.”
Wang Xifeng didn't take it seriously at first, but when she heard the word "capital crime", she immediately turned pale with shock, "Your sister is cheating on me? It's only natural to pay the debt, so why is it a capital crime?"
"Sister-in-law, if you don't believe me, you can go back and ask Cousin Lian." Lin Mohan couldn't help shaking her head and sighing softly. The Wang family has always upheld the principle of "a woman without talent is virtue" to raise girls, but they raised girls so that they don't even have the most basic laws. Understand, it really makes people not know what to say, but if you have read a little book and gained some knowledge, you will not be so reckless and reckless, without even a little reverence in your heart.
"After all, paper can't contain fire. My sister-in-law should stop as soon as possible. I'd rather give up some benefits than cause another life. Don't lose too much because of a small loss, and regret it later when things happen in the future."
Wang Xifeng left in a daze, returned home and found an excuse to prevaricate the old lady, and then went back to her own room. After thinking twice, she called Jia Lian to test it carefully, but in the end it made her completely flustered. up.
Jia Lian was still wondering why she suddenly wanted to ask us loan sharks, but when he saw her face suddenly changed, and Ping'er next to him was also pale and looked like he was about to faint, his heart skipped a beat, "You stupid woman Could it be that the loan sharks have gone there?"
Wang Xifeng remained silent, Jia Lian's face turned pale, and he was furious.
"Idiot! You idiot! Is your family short of your food or your clothes? You have to go to get that terrible money! The laws of the Qing Dynasty clearly prohibit it, how dare you know how to break the law? You are ordered to get that money, But I’m not afraid of dead flowers!”
Wang Xifeng lowered his eyes, and argued: "I didn't know that I committed a capital crime..."
"I don't know? You're stupid!" Jia Lian paced back and forth in the room like an ant on a hot pot in a hurry, frowned, and said through gritted teeth, "That's all for the outside account. Wipe your butt clean quickly." That's what matters."
"A lot of money has been borrowed from outside."
Jia Lian really laughed angrily, "Do you want money or life? You know the money. If you really don't want to part with it, you can go with you. When something happens in the future, I will marry a beautiful girl again. Wouldn't it be beautiful?" Very much?"
"Jia Lian!"
"Grandma just listen to the second master. If you give up the money, give it up. Your life is at stake!" Ping'er also urged anxiously.
Wang Xifeng's face collapsed, and she felt very wronged in her heart, "You all think that I am trying to get out of money, but you don't think about who I am for? The family's situation is getting worse every year. If I don't use This method earned a lot of money and came back to subsidize it. How can you masters and slaves live so happily? Now, one or two have accused me, but you are really wolf-hearted!"
It was only when she took over the power from her aunt that she realized how embarrassing the seemingly beautiful Rongfu was. But she has a strong temper, and she is afraid that others will think that she is not capable enough, let alone the housekeeper she has acquired. The power was released again, so I just racked my brains and tried my best to maintain the scenery of the mansion. Most of the money I got back was subsidized into the mansion, and I really didn't have much money in my pocket.
After hearing her words, Jia Lian fell silent. After a long while, she sneered and said, "You feel wronged when I call you stupid? The second wife is a good housekeeper, why is she suddenly willing to give this right to you? You Do you really think she is a bodhisattva with a pure heart and asceticism, or do you really think that she treats your niece wholeheartedly?"
"What do you mean?" Wang Xifeng turned her head to look at him, her face was ugly, obviously she already had an answer in her heart.
But Jia Lian didn't intend to feel sorry for her at all, and sneered: "You are the one who is still counting the money after being sold! Your good aunt is not willing to do this thankless job, so she arrested you and went to work as a slave." It's better for you to pay for your efforts, you didn't notice it at all, and you still don't know how to thank your good aunt in your heart."
Wang Xifeng pursed her red lips tightly, her eyes flickered, "She was the one who instructed me about the loan sharks."
Jia Lian was really shocked this time, "That's amazing, you good aunt, you really are the most poisonous woman's heart after a wasp's tail!"
She usually acts like a bodhisattva, but she doesn't expect that even her own niece can be pushed into the fire pit. With such a vicious heart, she is exactly the same as the hag in his family. She is indeed a daughter of the royal family.
Wang Xifeng glanced coldly, and suddenly laughed foolishly, "You just laugh at me and call me stupid, where do you really think you are smart? Do you think she plots against me just to ask me to make money to support my family? I am the eldest My daughter-in-law, once I break the law and am convicted, will Dafang not be implicated? At least you won’t be able to avoid it. After all, I am your bedside person. How can I hide what I did from you? I'm just an illiterate housewife, how could I have the guts to do such a terrible thing? Are you right, Lian Er?"
Jia Lian was dumbfounded, her heart beating wildly.
Could it be that the second wife really didn't mean to drink, but she came here for him?
Thinking about it carefully, what Wang Xifeng said is really not scaremongering, and the saying that husband and wife are one is really not just casually, if one fails, he will really fall into it!Da Fang only had him as his son, if something happened to him, wouldn't the Rong Mansion fall into the hands of Er Fang in the future?
Thinking of this, Jia Lian became more and more frightened, and immediately jumped three feet high, "What a poisonous woman! What a vicious mind!"
Ping'er had a look of disbelief, "How could the second wife do that?"
"Why not? Wang's daughter is really..." Seeing Wang Xifeng's cold eyes, Jia Lian said, "I am afraid of your Wang's daughter." This girl is more vicious than the other, and the Wang family is really good at it.
Unexpectedly, Wang Xifeng seemed extraordinarily calm, as if she hadn't taken the matter of being plotted against her at all, but Jia Lian and Ping'er, who knew her temperament well, knew that this person had always been the one who would take revenge. The more abnormal it is, the scarier it is. Maybe there is some kind of trick in my heart.
"It would be great if the second room could be separated. The second wife is such an insidious person. I'm afraid that one day I'll die for no apparent reason if I live with her in the same mansion." Jia Lian was really worried. Don't dare to underestimate women.
Wang Xifeng said lightly, "Don't dream, Baoyu is the lifeblood of the old lady, and whoever dares to raise the family separation, she will fight for her life."
Jia Lian sighed heavily again, suddenly thought of something, and suddenly jumped up again, "Baoyu is also 12 years old, and he will be an adult in two years, you say... Baoyu has grown up, right? Is it time for you to step aside?"
The two women were also shocked by his words, but after thinking about it, they didn't seem to be scaring themselves. Looking at it now, it is obvious that Mrs. Wang has coveted this Rongfu, maybe even The old lady didn't have any thoughts in her heart, otherwise why did she keep asking the second room to dominate the Rongxi Hall?
Anyway, Jia Lian is also his own grandson, the old lady will not harm him, but Mrs. Wang will not be soft-hearted, she is not afraid of [-], just in case.
"No, we must find a way to separate the second room!" Jia Lian gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, making up his mind.
The husband and wife dealt with the usury issue in secret, while they were planning how to separate the family, but who knew that man was not as good as God, and before they could figure out a way, a huge happy event suddenly fell from the sky, Completely disrupted all rhythms.
Jia Yuanchun, who had been in the palace for many years but failed to make his mark, was suddenly granted the favor of the emperor, and transformed from a court lady into a virtuous concubine in one leap!
When the imperial decree came to Rongfu, everyone was surprised and delighted, as if in a dream.
The old lady and Mrs. Wang burst into tears of joy on the spot, and generously rewarded all the servants in the entire mansion, and immediately ordered Wang Xifeng to prepare to go, saying that they would hold a seven-day flowing water banquet to celebrate.
Wang Xifeng said he deserved it happily, but in his heart he was troubled.
How much money would it cost to hold a seven-day running water feast?She no longer dares to do that terrible business, where can she get money?Is it possible to use your own dowry to subsidize it?No... Wang Xifeng stopped abruptly.
Jia Yuanchun is the girl of the second room, why should she, the big wife, work hard and bring subsidies?According to her good aunt's calculations, the second room has such a lady, and it may do more harm than good to their first room, so why does she bother to please?
After figuring this out, Wang Xifeng "fell ill" immediately, and anyone who asked would say that she was too weak to get out of bed.
Mrs. Wang couldn't help feeling suspicious when she saw this situation, "Why is it so coincidental? Didn't you feel fine yesterday, and you're too sick to get out of bed after just one night?"
But Wang Xifeng insisted that she was seriously ill, so what could she do?In the end, he had no choice but to take over and organize the flowing water banquet by himself, and took out a large sum of money from his small treasury with great pain. He hated Wang Xifeng to death.
"Go to Xue's mansion, please come and talk to Mrs. Xue when you have time." She has to find money from other places to make up for the money spent. Her sister is the mother's real aunt, so such a big happy event shouldn't be Express?
After thinking about it, she ordered: "Ask someone to invite the girl from the Lin family to play again." She used to look down on her Baoyu, but now she doesn't believe that the Lin family dares to refuse. Her Baoyu is now the uncle of the country, what else does the Lin family have? Qualification rampant?
It's because she kept this idea in her heart and didn't say it out loud. If outsiders heard it, it would be just another joke. He's just the younger brother of a concubine, how dare he call him an uncle?Even the brothers of the first few empresses did not dare to call themselves national uncles. In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, only the Tong family dared, but it was not because of Empress Xiaoyi, but because of Empress Xiaokangzhang.
Madam Wang confidently waited for the sisters from the Lin family to come over at home, but who would have thought that Zhou Rui's family would come back with a bitter face.
"The second girl of the Lin family is ill, so she dared not come to the door because she was afraid of getting sick... But the eldest girl of the Lin family was passed on by the concubine Defei in the palace."
"He's young? How old is Lan'er? Lan'er knows how to study hard and make progress. He's already 12 years old, but he's not even as good as his little nephew! It's nothing more than a distaste for reading, but he's full of nonsense, and he's simply stubborn. The spirit is extremely absurd! Furthermore, as the saying goes, when one sees an old man at the age of three, he is not willing to be served by an ordinary-looking girl and woman when he is young. As long as the pretty girl with a beautiful appearance has not yet run If you want to eat the rouge on the lips of the girls, you can see that you are a vile child in your bones!"
The more Jia Zheng talked, the angrier he became, recalling all the words and deeds of this son from childhood to this age, he couldn't help showing disgust on his face.
A gentleman is dignified and gentle like jade.
This is the son he was looking forward to in his heart.
But what about Jia Baoyu?There is only a skin that can coax people, but in reality it is gold and jade, and its appearance is ruined.
Even if he is not good at reading, at least he has a good conduct, at most he will be a little disappointed and regretful, and he will not be so disgusted, but...
The deep disgust on Jia Zheng's face made Mrs. Wang feel terrified, and a panic spread in her heart, "Master... Baoyu is still a child, just teach him well..."
Before the words fell, a noise came from outside the house.
Jia Zheng frowned and shouted angrily, "Who is presumptuous!"
Jin Chuan'er outside replied: "It's Qingwen who is in front of Baoyu, who said something happened..."
When Mrs. Wang heard that something had happened to her lifeblood, she was immediately startled, she hurriedly called someone in, and asked, "What happened to Baoyu?"
"It's not Baoyu's accident, it's Xiren..." Qingwen pursed her lips, lowered her head to hide her expression, and said, "Just now Baoyu heard that Mr. Qin had gone, so she clamored to see him, Xiren Persuading him to go tomorrow when it was too late, Baoyu refused and pushed Xiren, who bumped into the table immediately, and then... blood flowed from his body..."

Jia Baoyu seemed to wake up from a dream. Seeing Xiren's miserable appearance, he couldn't help showing pity, his lips parted slightly, but when he met Mrs. Wang's cold expression, he was instantly dumb.
"Baoyu, I know you've always been the most soft-hearted, but not this time." Mrs. Wang looked softer when she looked at Jia Baoyu, but the words she uttered were still cold and ruthless, "This girl is a traitor in her heart. It's the most honest thing to do, but now...

"That's not the case... Ma'am, you misunderstood..."
Xiren still wanted to argue, but Mrs. Wang was impatient to pester her any longer, she only signaled to her mother-in-law, "Drag on!"
"Baoyu! Baoyu save me! Baoyu!"
But even though she cried and yelled and broke her throat, she still couldn't wait for Jia Baoyu to say a word.
Seeing this situation, Qingwen on the side suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Although she didn't like Xiren's superficial behavior, but Xiren had served Baoyu for so long. In such a situation, he refused to even say a word... She knew that he was not that cruel person, but he was too cowardly and weak, too irresponsible, after all, he was someone who had been intimate with him.

The Wang family has always upheld the principle of "a woman without talent is virtue" to raise girls, but they raised girls so that they don't even have the most basic laws. Understand, it really makes people not know what to say, but if you have read a little book and gained some knowledge, you will not be so reckless and reckless, without even a little reverence in your heart.
"After all, paper can't contain fire. My sister-in-law should stop as soon as possible. I'd rather give up some benefits than cause another life. Don't lose too much because of a small loss, and regret it later when things happen in the future."
Wang Xifeng left in a daze, returned home and found an excuse to prevaricate the old lady, and then went back to her own room. After thinking twice, she called Jia Lian to test it carefully, but in the end it made her completely flustered. up.
Jia Lian was still wondering why she suddenly wanted to ask us loan sharks, but when he saw her face suddenly changed, and Ping'er next to him was also pale and looked like he was about to faint, his heart skipped a beat, "You stupid woman Could it be that the loan sharks have gone there?"
Wang Xifeng remained silent, Jia Lian's face turned pale, and he was furious.
"Idiot! You idiot! Is your family short of your food or your clothes? You have to go to get that terrible money! The laws of the Qing Dynasty clearly prohibit it, how dare you know how to break the law? You are ordered to get that money, But I’m not afraid of dead flowers!”
Wang Xifeng lowered his eyes, and argued: "I didn't know that I committed a capital crime..."
"I don't know? You're stupid!" Jia Lian paced back and forth in the room like an ant on a hot pot in a hurry, frowned, and said through gritted teeth, "That's all for the outside account. Wipe your butt clean quickly." That's what matters."
"A lot of money has been borrowed from outside."
Jia Lian really laughed angrily, "Do you want money or life? You know the money. If you really don't want to part with it, you can go with you. When something happens in the future, I will marry a beautiful girl again. Wouldn't it be beautiful?" Very much?"
"Jia Lian!"
"Grandma just listen to the second master. If you give up the money, give it up. Your life is at stake!" Ping'er also urged anxiously.
Wang Xifeng's face collapsed, and she felt very wronged in her heart, "You all think that I am trying to get out of money, but you don't think about who I am for? The family's situation is getting worse every year. If I don't use This method earned a lot of money and came back to subsidize it. How can you masters and slaves live so happily? Now, one or two have accused me, but you are really wolf-hearted!"
It was only when she took over the power from her aunt that she realized how embarrassing the seemingly beautiful Rongfu was. But she has a strong temper, and she is afraid that others will think that she is not capable enough, let alone the housekeeper she has acquired. The power was released again, so I just racked my brains and tried my best to maintain the scenery of the mansion. Most of the money I got back was subsidized into the mansion, and I really didn't have much money in my pocket.
After hearing her words, Jia Lian fell silent. After a long while, she sneered and said, "You feel wronged when I call you stupid? The second wife is a good housekeeper, why is she suddenly willing to give this right to you? You Do you really think she is a bodhisattva with a pure heart and asceticism, or do you really think that she treats your niece wholeheartedly?"
"What do you mean?" Wang Xifeng turned her head to look at him, her face was ugly, obviously she already had an answer in her heart.
But Jia Lian didn't intend to feel sorry for her at all, and sneered: "You are the one who is still counting the money after being sold! Your good aunt is not willing to do this thankless job, so she arrested you and went to work as a slave." It's better for you to pay for your efforts, you didn't notice it at all, and you still don't know how to thank your good aunt in your heart."
Wang Xifeng pursed her red lips tightly, her eyes flickered, "She was the one who instructed me about the loan sharks."
Jia Lian was really shocked this time, "That's amazing, you good aunt, you really are the most poisonous woman's heart after a wasp's tail!"
She usually acts like a bodhisattva, but she doesn't expect that even her own niece can be pushed into the fire pit. With such a vicious heart, she is exactly the same as the hag in his family. She is indeed a daughter of the royal family.
Wang Xifeng glanced coldly, and suddenly laughed foolishly, "You just laugh at me and call me stupid, where do you really think you are smart? Do you think she plots against me just to ask me to make money to support my family? I am the eldest My daughter-in-law, once I break the law and am convicted, will Dafang not be implicated? At least you won’t be able to avoid it. After all, I am your bedside person. How can I hide what I did from you? I'm just an illiterate housewife, how could I have the guts to do such a terrible thing? Are you right, Lian Er?"
Jia Lian was dumbfounded, her heart beating wildly.
Could it be that the second wife really didn't mean to drink, but she came here for him?
Thinking about it carefully, what Wang Xifeng said is really not scaremongering, and the saying that husband and wife are one is really not just casually, if one fails, he will really fall into it!Da Fang only had him as his son, if something happened to him, wouldn't the Rong Mansion fall into the hands of Er Fang in the future?
Thinking of this, Jia Lian became more and more frightened, and immediately jumped three feet high, "What a poisonous woman! What a vicious mind!"
Ping'er had a look of disbelief, "How could the second wife do that?"
"Why not? Wang's daughter is really..." Seeing Wang Xifeng's cold eyes, Jia Lian said, "I am afraid of your Wang's daughter." This girl is more vicious than the other, and the Wang family is really good at it.
Unexpectedly, Wang Xifeng seemed extraordinarily calm, as if she hadn't taken the matter of being plotted against her at all, but Jia Lian and Ping'er, who knew her temperament well, knew that this person had always been the one who would take revenge. The more abnormal it is, the scarier it is. Maybe there is some kind of trick in my heart.
"It would be great if the second room could be separated. The second wife is such an insidious person. I'm afraid that one day I'll die for no apparent reason if I live with her in the same mansion." Jia Lian was really worried. Don't dare to underestimate women.
Wang Xifeng said lightly, "Don't dream, Baoyu is the lifeblood of the old lady, and whoever dares to raise the family separation, she will fight for her life."
Jia Lian sighed heavily again, suddenly thought of something, and suddenly jumped up again, "Baoyu is also 12 years old, and he will be an adult in two years, you say... Baoyu has grown up, right? Is it time for you to step aside?"
The two women were also shocked by his words, but after thinking about it, they didn't seem to be scaring themselves. Looking at it now, it is obvious that Mrs. Wang has coveted this Rongfu, maybe even The old lady didn't have any thoughts in her heart, otherwise why did she keep asking the second room to dominate the Rongxi Hall?
Anyway, Jia Lian is also his own grandson, the old lady will not harm him, but Mrs. Wang will not be soft-hearted, she is not afraid of [-], just in case.
"No, we must find a way to separate the second room!" Jia Lian gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, making up his mind.
The husband and wife dealt with the usury issue in secret, while they were planning how to separate the family, but who knew that man was not as good as God, and before they could figure out a way, a huge happy event suddenly fell from the sky, Completely disrupted all rhythms.
Jia Yuanchun, who had been in the palace for many years but failed to make his mark, was suddenly granted the favor of the emperor, and transformed from a court lady into a virtuous concubine in one leap!
When the imperial decree came to Rongfu, everyone was surprised and delighted, as if in a dream.
The old lady and Mrs. Wang burst into tears of joy on the spot, and generously rewarded all the servants in the entire mansion, and immediately ordered Wang Xifeng to prepare to go, saying that they would hold a seven-day flowing water banquet to celebrate.
Wang Xifeng said he deserved it happily, but in his heart he was troubled.
How much money would it cost to hold a seven-day running water feast?She no longer dares to do that terrible business, where can she get money?Is it possible to use your own dowry to subsidize it?No... Wang Xifeng stopped abruptly.
Jia Yuanchun is the girl of the second room, why should she, the big wife, work hard and bring subsidies?According to her good aunt's calculations, the second room has such a lady, and it may do more harm than good to their first room, so why does she bother to please?
After figuring this out, Wang Xifeng "fell ill" immediately, and anyone who asked would say that she was too weak to get out of bed.
Mrs. Wang couldn't help feeling suspicious when she saw this situation, "Why is it so coincidental? Didn't you feel fine yesterday, and you're too sick to get out of bed after just one night?"
But Wang Xifeng insisted that she was seriously ill, so what could she do?In the end, he had no choice but to take over and organize the flowing water banquet by himself, and took out a large sum of money from his small treasury with great pain. He hated Wang Xifeng to death.
"Go to Xue's mansion, please come and talk to Mrs. Xue when you have time." She has to find money from other places to make up for the money spent. Her sister is the mother's real aunt, so such a big happy event shouldn't be Express?
After thinking about it, she ordered: "Ask someone to invite the girl from the Lin family to play again." She used to look down on her Baoyu, but now she doesn't believe that the Lin family dares to refuse. Her Baoyu is now the uncle of the country, what else does the Lin family have? Qualification rampant?
It's because she kept this idea in her heart and didn't say it out loud. If outsiders heard it, it would be just another joke. He's just the younger brother of a concubine, how dare he call him an uncle?Even the brothers of the first few empresses did not dare to call themselves national uncles. In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, only the Tong family dared, but it was not because of Empress Xiaoyi, but because of Empress Xiaokangzhang.
Madam Wang confidently waited for the sisters from the Lin family to come over at home, but who would have thought that Zhou Rui's family would come back with a bitter face.
"The second girl of the Lin family is ill, so she dared not come to the door because she was afraid of getting sick... But the eldest girl of the Lin family was passed on by the concubine Defei in the palace."
