Because Jia Zhen was interrogating Lai Sheng's content, she didn't let others in the house.However, his confidantes also guarded outside the door - Jia Zhen was always in poor health, and You Shi had already told him that he could not leave anyone by his side.
These people only heard the indistinct voices of the uncle and Lai Sheng talking in the room, and who knew that they heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.After not hearing anything from the old man for a long time, Wang Zhu'er approached the door cautiously, and called out, "Master?"
Still no movement.
The boys looked at each other, and then called out, "Boss Lai?"
This time the voice came, but it was Mr. Lai who sounded like someone stepped on a cat's tail: "Master, what's wrong with you, Mister?"
The boys didn't care whether the master spoke or not, they just rushed into the house.Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the room, he saw that Lai Sheng hugged the uncle in his arms, but the uncle's body was standing on the ground, and his head was still bleeding.
"Boss Lai, my uncle is just asking you a few words. If you have done it, you have done it. If you haven't done it, you haven't done it. If you are selfish, you dare to murder the uncle!" on the head.
Some of the other servants followed Wang Zhu'er's words, some rushed to find Jia Rong, some reported to Youshi, and some asked someone to call for the imperial physician quickly.Wang Zhu'er and another man named Lai Fu kept their eyes on Lai Sheng - whether they can get rid of the crime of protecting their master against him or not now depends on this man.
Lai Sheng wanted to show his majesty as a housekeeper, and told the two servants to quickly carry the uncle to the bed.Wang Zhu'er pouted and said, "Okay, my chief manager, now is not the time to lift up my uncle. Uncle Xiaorong has to come to see it, or grandma has come to see the truth before I can move him."
Lai Sheng is more anxious than the two of them now, he wants Jia Zhen to wake up so that he can prove that he did not murder his master.So it was necessary to push Jia Zhen: "Master, wake up, wake up."
It was good not to push, but when he started to push, Jia Zhen spit out white foam from her mouth.Wang Zhu'er slapped Lai Sheng's hand away: "Boss Lai is too impatient. It's because I haven't...he still wants to be cruel in front of us. Brothers, get rid of this murderer of the master!" Tied up, waiting for Uncle Xiao Rong to deal with it."
The honor and disgrace of the servants are tied to Jia Zhen, and now they see that Lai Sheng has almost ruined their jobs, and they feel resentful in their hearts.They didn't care about accumulating prestige or not, and they didn't care about face or face, they swarmed up and pushed Lai Sheng to the ground.
In a hurry, Jia Rong had already come over first, and saw her father lying on the ground unconsciously, with blood still gushing from his head, and cursed: "Hurry up and stop the bleeding for father." His voice was trembling, and the person also Shake into a ball.
It was at this time that Lai Sheng could be regarded as mournful and proud: "Master Xiao Rong, you have been wronged by this slave."
Jia Rong didn't care about him, kicked him and the boy who blocked the way away, and went to see Jia Zhen in person.At this time, Jia Zhen's complexion was pale and her breath was weak.Jia Rong pulled the sweat towel over the bed and covered Jia Zhen's head.
Two more strong people came up, and together they lifted Jia Zhen to the bed.Youshi, who got the news at this time, came crying.When I entered the room and saw this situation, I didn't care whether I avoided it or not, and asked Jia Rong repeatedly: "How is your father?"
Jia Rong was still covering Jia Zhen's head with a sweat towel in her hand, and said to Youshi, "Mother, quickly call some people to tie up Lai Sheng who murdered father."
Youshi looked up, but found that Lai Sheng was no longer in the room.Jia Rong became more convinced that this dog slave was afraid of crime and fled. While letting Youshi take care of Jia Zhen, she wanted to personally bring someone back to capture this slave.
It happened that Qin Keqing and Xichun came over, but Keqing didn't expect the matter to unfold like this, and thought that Lai Sheng might be just like Lai Da of Rongguo Mansion, a greedy one.He reminded Jia Rong: "Master, you should bring more people. That dog servant also has a house and servants at home, so don't suffer any more, sir."
Jia Rong nodded, and Duoduo gathered his hands, and was about to go out, but saw that Jiao Da ran over quickly while yelling, "It's terrible, the dog slave has turned against the heavens, and dared to murder the master."
Before Jia Rong could ask him, he had already panted and said: "Brother Rong'er, I've heard about it, and I know the mansion and outer house of that bastard. .”
Jiao Da came in a hurry, Qin Keqing and Xichun didn't even have time to avoid it.However, in the original book, this person wanted to cry for the grandfather all the time, which shows that his sense of belonging to Ningguo Mansion is not low.Qin Keqing put Xichun behind her.He was also afraid that Jiao Da would say something like in the original book, so if he dared to speak up, he would follow Wang Xifeng's method in the original book.
Just as he was thinking about it, Jiao Da really saluted Qin Keqing: "Don't worry, grandma, if there are slaves following Brother Rong, the slave who spread rumors will definitely not be able to escape. Grandma's innocence will also be repaid by then."
If she still doesn't admit that she has the halo of the protagonist, Qin Keqing herself will feel guilty.It's just that after hearing Jiao Da's words, her face was still pale, and she shook her body twice, as if she was stimulated by something.
Jiao Da slapped his own mouth: "It's the slave who can't speak, what kind of person is the master, how can grandma not be innocent! Wait for the slave to bring that dog, and scratch him alive to plead guilty to grandma."
Wait, did I hear something secret?Who is Jiao Da's master? Shouldn't it be the old Ning Guogong who was rescued from the dead by his life?How to listen to the meaning in his words is still someone else.Could it be that he cursed so unwillingly in the original book because he hated iron for being weak?
Now is not the time to pursue this.Jia Rong has already looked at Qin Keqing: "You stay here with aunt. If there is something to do with mother, you should help me. Don't worry about those people messing around. Mother and I will trust father and you. When the villain catches you , the truth will be revealed."
Qin Keqing nodded feebly, already being stimulated by such an unconventional god, she didn't know how to deal with it.When she came back to her senses, Jia Rong, Jiao Da and others had disappeared, only Xichun looked at her with concern.
Qin Keqing smiled weakly: "Auntie is frightened, it's okay, my father-in-law is a good man, he must be okay." It was her task to kill Jia Zhen, why Lai Sheng snatched it, then this task is not a big deal. She did it.
Being robbed of the task, I really want to cry.
There was a little girl who was already crying beside her, so Qin Keqing had no choice but to comfort her: "Please come with me to the side hall? The imperial doctor will be here soon."
Xichun followed Keqing to the side hall helplessly, and asked fidgetingly: "Is brother going to be okay? How dare this slave, who ordered him, right? What did Jiao Da mean by what Rong'er said just now?" Mean? You know, right, what are you hiding from me?"
After a series of questions, Qin Keqing didn't know which one to answer, so she could only perfunctorily say to Xichun, "The imperial physician will be here in a while. After the imperial physician has seen it, your father-in-law should be fine."
After hearing her answer, Xichun seemed to be grasping at straws: "Yes, it will be fine when the imperial doctor comes, and everything will be fine once it comes."
It's just that the imperial doctor came too late, and no one stopped Jia Zhen's bleeding in time, so he died before Jia Rong caught Lai Sheng back.
Unlike Xichun who cried bitterly when she got the news, Qin Keqing was stunned for a while: This is the end, Jia Zhen died so easily?So did she complete the task?And the backhands she prepared have not been used at all.
The yard is completely out of order.As soon as Jia Zhen left, You Shi had already passed out, Jia Rong hadn't come back yet, Xi Chun was also crying endlessly, and none of the masters stepped forward to take charge.The servants were also shocked by the sudden news, not knowing what to do, they still waited for the master's order.
Wiping the tears that didn't exist, Qin Keqing rubbed her eyes vigorously a few times, so that it would look as red and swollen as someone else's just cried.At this moment, Qin Keqing didn't care about being too young to meet others, so she yelled at the servants in the yard: "What are you doing in a daze, where is the second housekeeper? Come and see me."
The second steward of the mansion has already stepped forward. Qin Keqing is completely unfamiliar with him. He only knows that some people have the same surname as her, and they are the sons of the chief steward before Lai was promoted to the chief steward: "Steward Qin, from now on you will be the master of the mansion." The big housekeeper. I will explain to grandma when she wakes up."
Butler Qin knelt down on the ground, kowtowed his head and said: "The servant obeys grandma's orders."
Qin Keqing nodded her head: "Call together all the slaves in the mansion now, whether they are on leave or sick, I have to carry them. Those who are working now, you send someone to count them all."
Qin Butler responded, and said again: "Grandma, do you have to talk about Uncle Luo first?"
Qin Keqing shook her head self-consciously: "I messed up the rules, thank you for reminding me. I'm afraid that someone will take advantage of the grief of the master and make trouble, and forget the most important thing about the uncle. But you can find two trustworthy people People, guard the gate of the mansion, and you are not allowed to enter the mansion, and those who want to report their own funerals must take the right card from me before they are allowed to go." First detain people in the mansion, even if there are other nails, It's good that the news gets out later.
Butler Qin immediately picked up people, with a natural attitude and familiar faces, which shows that the original old butler didn't leave any contacts for his son.It's just that he has been suppressed by Lai Sheng for so many years. It is not known whether Lai Sheng is better at handling things, or the Rongguo Mansion is behind the scenes.
Qin Keqing then ordered Qin Butler to quickly send people out of the mansion to order the coffin, order the priesthood, and report the funeral to relatives and friends everywhere.The gate of the mansion has to be whitewashed, and auspicious decorations have been removed everywhere, so that Jia Zhen can be dressed quickly...
She gave the same order, but steward Qin called out several people to take the same errand, and gave the same order and another person came out to take the same errand, but Qin Keqing couldn't figure out how many people this person had under his command.
When she felt that she had thought of everything she could think of, Qin Butler waited for a while, and then asked carefully: "Back to grandma, do you have to send someone to the temple as soon as possible to inform the master?"
Qin Keqing shook her head again, she completely forgot that Jia Zhen's father was still practicing in the Taoist temple, okay?But just now I lost my temper in front of Butler Qin, so I had no choice but to say: "Don't rush this moment, it's better for the uncle to report to the master in person."
Hearing what she said, Qin Butler also felt that the matter was too important, and it was indeed inappropriate for the slave to report the letter.So I asked Qin Keqing, and I personally watched people go to the mourning hall.
When Jia Rong came back from Lai Sheng's outer house, he saw that white banners had been hung up at the gate of the mansion, the couplets had been blurred, and even the stone lions had been covered with white cloth.Seeing him coming back, the servant guarding the gate had already knelt and wept loudly to report the news that Jia Zhen had gone.
It took only an hour to go back and forth, and my father was gone?Jia Rong couldn't believe this fact, but the servants didn't have the guts to joke with him about it.With a wow, Jia Rong burst into tears.
The coffin hadn't been bought yet, but Jia Zhen had already wrapped it up, moved the bed, and put it on a door panel on the ground.The blood on the face has been wiped off, but a bloody hole in the temple looks miserable, so at least a hat was used to cover it up.
Jia Rong howled loudly for a while, and someone pulled Lai Sheng to Jia Zhen, and insisted on beating this slave to death immediately for his father to pay for his life.
Qin Keqing stopped him and said: "Everyone knows the grief in my uncle's heart. It's just that my father-in-law is not white after all, and he has to get a report when he goes to the old man. When the official family asks about the cause of father-in-law's death, he must have an explanation to the Ministry of Rites."
"Tell me what!" An old voice came in from the outside, and it turned out that it was Jiamu who arrived with the two wives of King Xing and the girls.Before Qin Keqing and others could see the ceremony, Mother Jia had already said sharply: "Slave who murdered his master like this should be killed in front of Zhen'er. If there were still servants at that time, then it would be a witness!" She said very indignantly.
Jia Rong was eager to avenge her father, and when she heard Jia's mother's words hit her heart, she ordered someone to fetch a stick.Seeing that something was wrong, Qin Keqing hurriedly said: "Master, you can't. This slave will not spread those rumors for no reason. If there is someone behind him to instigate it, if it is not good for the Ningguo Mansion, he will have nowhere to ask after he dies."
Mrs. Wang said calmly: "Daughter-in-law Rong, people say that there are no waves without wind, and that there is no wind without holes. Those words are not very pleasant. If you ask the officials to ask, I'm afraid it will damage your reputation." It’s also in the way. It’s better to follow the old lady’s advice and beat this slave to death.”
"Second wife." Qin Keqing and Lai Sheng's voices rang out at the same time.Qin Keqing glanced at Lai Sheng who seemed to be in disbelief, but her words were filled with chills: "It took only half a day for our mansion to check the rumors, and we didn't ask Rongguo Mansion for help during that period, how could the second wife know about it? So the rumors are a hindrance to my reputation?"
Mrs. Wang was speechless all of a sudden.Mother Jia came up and said: "Your second wife has never been able to speak, and you all know it. She just saw that your mother-in-law is too sad to take care of things. The internal and external affairs are decided by you young couple. If there is a mishandling, Outsiders will only say that you young couple are not good at handling things, and your reputation is not good."
Qin Keqing gave Jia Mu a cold look: "Second Wife means this best. If there are other things, the government has its own judgment."
Mother Jia sighed, "Your child is still too young. Your father-in-law left in a hurry, and it is inevitable for you to feel sad. It's just that the family ugliness must not be exposed. If outsiders know that your father-in-law was murdered by a servant, you Originally, the servant was scared twice, but how can people think of your mother-in-law as the head of the house?"
Very good, this is really worthy of the saying that ginger is old and spicy.As soon as these words were said, Qin Keqing and Jia Zhen were actually brought together, making people have to think about why Qin Keqing made the slave sick from fright.Even if Youshi knew that Qin Keqing made the slaves sick twice and had nothing to do with Jia Zhen, he would not be willing to bear the reputation of not being strict with the family.
If Qin Keqing had remained soft-tempered before, it would naturally silence Jia's mother's words.It's just that Jia's mother didn't know that Qin Keqing had changed her core inside, and she was still a core who knew her methods very well.Seeing her salute slightly to Jiamu, she said:
"The old lady said all the truth. It's just that although the law of this family is big, it is not as big as the law of the country. My father-in-law is still a third-class general, so he can't dismiss the people in the Ministry of Rites with a sudden death. Besides, my mother-in-law is just In charge of the inner courtyard and how the big steward of the outer courtyard behaves, my mother-in-law always pays attention to the three obediences and four virtues. My mother-in-law will believe whoever the father-in-law says. I will use whoever he says to use. As for why the master of our family had to let Lai Sheng do it that day I became the chief steward of the mansion, so that my father-in-law didn't dare to change people, so today's disaster happened, and when our master comes back, he will have his own explanation."
You Shi also woke up at this time, struggled to get out of the room, listened to Qin Keqing's words, and nodded naturally: "Daughter-in-law is right. Even if you want to kill this slave, you must know who is behind him. Otherwise, he What's wrong with being a servant in this mansion as the chief steward?!"
Jia's mother knew that she was not happy when she dragged Youshi's housekeeper to be lax just now, but she couldn't really let them interrogate Lai Sheng just like this. She knew why Lai Sheng suddenly said that.It's just that this slave is also stupid, and he was discovered after only half a day's transmission.Incompetent bungler!
It's also because she didn't know, this matter is simply a dark history in Jia Zhen's heart, no matter who mentions it, it touches his back.If the master doesn't care about everything, it's easy to check it out, but Jia Zhen, the head of the Ningguo Mansion's family, has to investigate, who would dare to neglect it?Lai Sheng was dragged out very quickly.
Jia's mother was thinking about how to persuade Ningguo Mansion to deal with Lai Sheng only in her own home, but it was already reported that people from Shuntian Mansion had arrived.Mother Jia's eyes dimmed, and she looked back at Mrs. Wang as if her eyes had been poisoned. It's not good for this prodigal girl to find someone to help her. She has to let Lai Sheng do it herself. It's a pity that her ten years of hard work were ruined. up.
Qin Keqing was paying special attention to the people in the Rongguo Mansion, and saw Jiamu's eyes and Mrs. Wang's dodge.Pulling over Jia Rong said in a low voice: "Master should also tell the people in Shuntian Mansion well, don't be afraid of [-], just in case, if that servant dies in Shuntian Mansion for no apparent reason, father-in-law's revenge can't be avenged. "
Jia Rong nodded and gestured to Jia Qiang who had come earlier with her eyes, and then Jia Qiang left with the people from Shuntian Mansion.He had no other brothers, so he had to send his confidants to the Taoist temple to invite Jia Jing.
At this time, Jia's mother has no intention of paying homage to Jia Zhen, but some people have already arrived, and the two prefectures are often called one, so it's not easy to go back immediately.He wanted to ask Jia Lian to come and walk in Shuntian Mansion, but it was hard to say that in Ningguo Mansion, so he could only watch Lai Sheng being taken away.
How did things get out of your control?Mother Jia still had a sad expression on her face, and she was already thinking about how to shut up Lai Sheng who had already entered Shuntian Mansion as soon as possible.
In a hurry, the coffin was brought in, and the coffin was opened to lay the bedding. Jia Zhen was asked to move into the coffin and carry it into the mourning hall that had been set up long ago.The servants also put on filial piety clothes early, Jia Rong put on filial piety, Jia Lian and others accompanied them to raise mourning.
Relatives and friends who received letters from all over the place also visited the mansion one after another to offer sacrifices. For a while, the Ningguo Mansion was crying loudly.Youshi was so sad that he couldn't bear it anymore and passed out. He had already been sent back to the house to recuperate. You Xichun watched over her and wept with her.Qin Keqing couldn't be lazy, and under the guidance of Butler Qin, she stumbled and started to make arrangements.
Mother Jia also mentioned that there are few masters in Ningguo Mansion, so it is better to let Wang Xifeng come over to help her.Qin Keqing sneered inwardly: I just sent Lai Sheng to Shuntian Mansion, and welcomed Feng Lazi again.Whether people are greedy for money or not, it's not easy to talk about it, but the people she brought didn't cover their words. People come and go in this house, so it's hard to guarantee that the words won't get out of order.
Qin Keqing used this as an excuse, saying that You Shi is still the head of the family, and it is not easy for her to be the daughter-in-law, so she should wait until the evening when the family is gone before asking her mother-in-law for advice.Mother Jia had no choice but to stay in Ningguo Mansion for two hours. Seeing that everything was in order, the more difficult it was to intervene, she brought the female family members of Ningguo Mansion back to the mansion.
It was Daiyu who told Jia's mother in person that Xichun was young at first, and now that she has undergone such a big change, she has to take care of her sister-in-law. She is afraid that she will not be able to bear it alone, so she wants to stay with her for two days.
This was said to Mother Jia in front of everyone, even if she didn't want to, she had to praise Daiyu for her love, and then handed her over to Zuo Keqing herself.As for when Daiyu and Xichun became so close, Mother Jia felt that when she returned to Rongguo Mansion, she would have to ask her.
Before Jia's mother could get into the sedan chair, the servant came over to report to Butler Qin that the classic car from Taoist priests was approaching, to see if he could notify the master to meet him.
Yes, of course I have to.No matter how this master ignores the world, he is also the highest generation figure in Ningguo Mansion.Even Jia Mu and others couldn't leave right away. They had to meet Jia Jing first.
That Jia Jing looked at the white flags inside and outside Ningguo Mansion, and heard the crying, and his face was also a little sad.When he saw Li Jiamu who was still in the mourning hall, his eyes burst into flames: "Old lady, this is the good person you recommended to me, this is the person you said can advise Zhen'er for me! Isn't it More than ten years ago, you already knew that this day would come! Old lady, you will give me Zhener's life back!"
These people only heard the indistinct voices of the uncle and Lai Sheng talking in the room, and who knew that they heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.After not hearing anything from the old man for a long time, Wang Zhu'er approached the door cautiously, and called out, "Master?"
Still no movement.
The boys looked at each other, and then called out, "Boss Lai?"
This time the voice came, but it was Mr. Lai who sounded like someone stepped on a cat's tail: "Master, what's wrong with you, Mister?"

Butler Qin immediately picked up people, with a natural attitude and familiar faces, which shows that the original old butler didn't leave any contacts for his son.It's just that he has been suppressed by Lai Sheng for so many years. It is not known whether Lai Sheng is better at handling things, or the Rongguo Mansion is behind the scenes.
Qin Keqing then ordered Qin Butler to quickly send people out of the mansion to order the coffin, order the priesthood, and report the funeral to relatives and friends everywhere.The gate of the mansion has to be whitewashed, and auspicious decorations have been removed everywhere, so that Jia Zhen can be dressed quickly...
She gave the same order, but steward Qin called out several people to take the same errand, and gave the same order and another person came out to take the same errand, but Qin Keqing couldn't figure out how many people this person had under his command.
When she felt that she had thought of everything she could think of, Qin Butler waited for a while, and then asked carefully: "Back to grandma, do you have to send someone to the temple as soon as possible to inform the master?"
Qin Keqing shook her head again, she completely forgot that Jia Zhen's father was still practicing in the Taoist temple, okay?But just now I lost my temper in front of Butler Qin, so I had no choice but to say: "Don't rush this moment, it's better for the uncle to report to the master in person."
Hearing what she said, Qin Butler also felt that the matter was too important, and it was indeed inappropriate for the slave to report the letter.So I asked Qin Keqing, and I personally watched people go to the mourning hall.
When Jia Rong came back from Lai Sheng's outer house, he saw that white banners had been hung up at the gate of the mansion, the couplets had been blurred, and even the stone lions had been covered with white cloth.Seeing him coming back, the servant guarding the gate had already knelt and wept loudly to report the news that Jia Zhen had gone.
It took only an hour to go back and forth, and my father was gone?Jia Rong couldn't believe this fact, but the servants didn't have the guts to joke with him about it.With a wow, Jia Rong burst into tears.
The coffin hadn't been bought yet, but Jia Zhen had already wrapped it up, moved the bed, and put it on a door panel on the ground.The blood on the face has been wiped off, but a bloody hole in the temple looks miserable, so at least a hat was used to cover it up.
Jia Rong howled loudly for a while, and someone pulled Lai Sheng to Jia Zhen, and insisted on beating this slave to death immediately for his father to pay for his life.
Qin Keqing stopped him and said: "Everyone knows the grief in my uncle's heart. It's just that my father-in-law is not white after all, and he has to get a report when he goes to the old man. When the official family asks about the cause of father-in-law's death, he must have an explanation to the Ministry of Rites."
"Tell me what!" An old voice came in from the outside, and it turned out that it was Jiamu who arrived with the two wives of King Xing and the girls.Before Qin Keqing and others could see the ceremony, Mother Jia had already said sharply: "Slave who murdered his master like this should be killed in front of Zhen'er. If there were still servants at that time, then it would be a witness!" She said very indignantly.
Jia Rong was eager to avenge her father, and when she heard Jia's mother's words hit her heart, she ordered someone to fetch a stick.Seeing that something was wrong, Qin Keqing hurriedly said: "Master, you can't. This slave will not spread those rumors for no reason. If there is someone behind him to instigate it, if it is not good for the Ningguo Mansion, he will have nowhere to ask after he dies."
Mrs. Wang said calmly: "Daughter-in-law Rong, people say that there are no waves without wind, and that there is no wind without holes. Those words are not very pleasant. If you ask the officials to ask, I'm afraid it will damage your reputation." It’s also in the way. It’s better to follow the old lady’s advice and beat this slave to death.”
"Second wife." Qin Keqing and Lai Sheng's voices rang out at the same time.Qin Keqing glanced at Lai Sheng who seemed to be in disbelief, but her words were filled with chills: "It took only half a day for our mansion to check the rumors, and we didn't ask Rongguo Mansion for help during that period, how could the second wife know about it? So the rumors are a hindrance to my reputation?"
Mrs. Wang was speechless all of a sudden.Mother Jia came up and said: "Your second wife has never been able to speak, and you all know it. She just saw that your mother-in-law is too sad to take care of things. The internal and external affairs are decided by you young couple. If there is a mishandling, Outsiders will only say that you young couple are not good at handling things, and your reputation is not good."
Qin Keqing gave Jia Mu a cold look: "Second Wife means this best. If there are other things, the government has its own judgment."
Mother Jia sighed, "Your child is still too young. Your father-in-law left in a hurry, and it is inevitable for you to feel sad. It's just that the family ugliness must not be exposed. If outsiders know that your father-in-law was murdered by a servant, you Originally, the servant was scared twice, but how can people think of your mother-in-law as the head of the house?"
Very good, this is really worthy of the saying that ginger is old and spicy.As soon as these words were said, Qin Keqing and Jia Zhen were actually brought together, making people have to think about why Qin Keqing made the slave sick from fright.Even if Youshi knew that Qin Keqing made the slaves sick twice and had nothing to do with Jia Zhen, he would not be willing to bear the reputation of not being strict with the family.
If Qin Keqing had remained soft-tempered before, it would naturally silence Jia's mother's words.It's just that Jia's mother didn't know that Qin Keqing had changed her core inside, and she was still a core who knew her methods very well.Seeing her salute slightly to Jiamu, she said:
"The old lady said all the truth. It's just that although the law of this family is big, it is not as big as the law of the country. My father-in-law is still a third-class general, so he can't dismiss the people in the Ministry of Rites with a sudden death. Besides, my mother-in-law is just In charge of the inner courtyard and how the big steward of the outer courtyard behaves, my mother-in-law always pays attention to the three obediences and four virtues. My mother-in-law will believe whoever the father-in-law says. I will use whoever he says to use. As for why the master of our family had to let Lai Sheng do it that day I became the chief steward of the mansion, so that my father-in-law didn't dare to change people, so today's disaster happened, and when our master comes back, he will have his own explanation."
You Shi also woke up at this time, struggled to get out of the room, listened to Qin Keqing's words, and nodded naturally: "Daughter-in-law is right. Even if you want to kill this slave, you must know who is behind him. Otherwise, he What's wrong with being a servant in this mansion as the chief steward?!"
Jia's mother knew that she was not happy when she dragged Youshi's housekeeper to be lax just now, but she couldn't really let them interrogate Lai Sheng just like this. She knew why Lai Sheng suddenly said that.It's just that this slave is also stupid, and he was discovered after only half a day's transmission.Incompetent bungler!
It's also because she didn't know, this matter is simply a dark history in Jia Zhen's heart, no matter who mentions it, it touches his back.If the master doesn't care about everything, it's easy to check it out, but Jia Zhen, the head of the Ningguo Mansion's family, has to investigate, who would dare to neglect it?Lai Sheng was dragged out very quickly.
Jia's mother was thinking about how to persuade Ningguo Mansion to deal with Lai Sheng only in her own home, but it was already reported that people from Shuntian Mansion had arrived.Mother Jia's eyes dimmed, and she looked back at Mrs. Wang as if her eyes had been poisoned. It's not good for this prodigal girl to find someone to help her. She has to let Lai Sheng do it herself. It's a pity that her ten years of hard work were ruined. up.
Qin Keqing was paying special attention to the people in the Rongguo Mansion, and saw Jiamu's eyes and Mrs. Wang's dodge.Pulling over Jia Rong said in a low voice: "Master should also tell the people in Shuntian Mansion well, don't be afraid of [-], just in case, if that servant dies in Shuntian Mansion for no apparent reason, father-in-law's revenge can't be avenged. "
Jia Rong nodded and gestured to Jia Qiang who had come earlier with her eyes, and then Jia Qiang left with the people from Shuntian Mansion.He had no other brothers, so he had to send his confidants to the Taoist temple to invite Jia Jing.
At this time, Jia's mother has no intention of paying homage to Jia Zhen, but some people have already arrived, and the two prefectures are often called one, so it's not easy to go back immediately.He wanted to ask Jia Lian to come and walk in Shuntian Mansion, but it was hard to say that in Ningguo Mansion, so he could only watch Lai Sheng being taken away.
How did things get out of your control?Mother Jia still had a sad expression on her face, and she was already thinking about how to shut up Lai Sheng who had already entered Shuntian Mansion as soon as possible.
In a hurry, the coffin was brought in, and the coffin was opened to lay the bedding. Jia Zhen was asked to move into the coffin and carry it into the mourning hall that had been set up long ago.The servants also put on filial piety clothes early, Jia Rong put on filial piety, Jia Lian and others accompanied them to raise mourning.
Relatives and friends who received letters from all over the place also visited the mansion one after another to offer sacrifices. For a while, the Ningguo Mansion was crying loudly.Youshi was so sad that he couldn't bear it anymore and passed out. He had already been sent back to the house to recuperate. You Xichun watched over her and wept with her.Qin Keqing couldn't be lazy, and under the guidance of Butler Qin, she stumbled and started to make arrangements.
Mother Jia also mentioned that there are few masters in Ningguo Mansion, so it is better to let Wang Xifeng come over to help her.Qin Keqing sneered inwardly: I just sent Lai Sheng to Shuntian Mansion, and welcomed Feng Lazi again.Whether people are greedy for money or not, it's not easy to talk about it, but the people she brought didn't cover their words. People come and go in this house, so it's hard to guarantee that the words won't get out of order.
Qin Keqing used this as an excuse, saying that You Shi is still the head of the family, and it is not easy for her to be the daughter-in-law, so she should wait until the evening when the family is gone before asking her mother-in-law for advice.Mother Jia had no choice but to stay in Ningguo Mansion for two hours. Seeing that everything was in order, the more difficult it was to intervene, she brought the female family members of Ningguo Mansion back to the mansion.
It was Daiyu who told Jia's mother in person that Xichun was young at first, and now that she has undergone such a big change, she has to take care of her sister-in-law. She is afraid that she will not be able to bear it alone, so she wants to stay with her for two days.
This was said to Mother Jia in front of everyone, even if she didn't want to, she had to praise Daiyu for her love, and then handed her over to Zuo Keqing herself.As for when Daiyu and Xichun became so close, Mother Jia felt that when she returned to Rongguo Mansion, she would have to ask her.
Before Jia's mother could get into the sedan chair, the servant came over to report to Butler Qin that the classic car from Taoist priests was approaching, to see if he could notify the master to meet him.
Yes, of course I have to.No matter how this master ignores the world, he is also the highest generation figure in Ningguo Mansion.Even Jia Mu and others couldn't leave right away. They had to meet Jia Jing first.
That Jia Jing looked at the white flags inside and outside Ningguo Mansion, and heard the crying, and his face was also a little sad.When he saw Li Jiamu who was still in the mourning hall, his eyes burst into flames: "Old lady, this is the good person you recommended to me, this is the person you said can advise Zhen'er for me! Isn't it More than ten years ago, you already knew that this day would come! Old lady, you will give me Zhener's life back!"
