Qin Keqing ignored the system's reminder that she had completed Bai Yueguang's mission, nor did she draw her own prize now, nor did she appear in front of the masters of Ningguo Mansion.Whether it's Youshi, Xichun or Jia Rong, they all let her close maid Baozhu stand in the way, saying that the master is in a bad mood and will confess to everyone tomorrow if something happens.

Hearing her mentioning tomorrow, everyone thought that Qin Keqing just couldn't think about it for a while, so let her calm down first, and then persuade her tomorrow.

But no one knew how Qin Keqing escaped the triple gatekeepers of Ningguo Mansion, and how he hung himself on the gate of Rongguo Mansion.When I saw Qin Keqing again, she was wearing a red dress that was blowing in the wind, and there were two words "wronged" written on the red dress.I don't know how her hijab is fixed, even if the wind blows people around, the hijab always covers her delicate face.

Everyone said that even though she was dead, Qin Keqing still obeyed the rules and never showed her face to outsiders.

And because there are people with great injustices among the people, if they hang themselves in red clothes, they intend to turn into ghosts in order to avenge themselves after seven days.If there was no grievance or enmity, she would never have to hang herself on the gate of Rongguo Mansion. The eaves are still so high, just thinking about it makes her get goosebumps—how could she hang on it without the help of ghosts and gods?How can I guarantee that my hijab will not fall off?

Careful people think of the rumors from the previous day, and believe that Qin Keqing must be innocent, but have nowhere to sue, so they have to make such a bad move in order to return their innocence!

The Rongguo Mansion is missing a great virtue!

There was no need for the Ningguo Mansion to come forward for a while—they didn’t have time to do so, they were too busy putting Qin Keqing down to see if she could be saved—someone went to the Shuntian Mansion to report to the officials, saying that yesterday’s trial of Aunt Zhao’s case was a serious abuse, The clan wife of Ningguo Mansion has been forced to death.

Shuntian Fu Yin was above the early court, and just now he was scolded bloody by today, and now he heard that it was the Jia family's business again, and his scalp became even more tense.At this time, regardless of whether Rong Guochu was decent or not, he gathered all the servants in Shuntian Mansion and came to Rong Guo Mansion in open flames to bring Jia Zheng to trial.

Over there, Ningguo Mansion was crying loudly, and here Rongguo Mansion was not too panic-stricken. Mother Jia wanted to use the money of her wife's wife to deal with Shuntian Mansion, but they reminded her: "I heard that the Empress yesterday Your Majesty once issued a decree to warn the old matriarch that women in the back house are not allowed to meddle in political affairs?"

Mother Jia was completely defeated.

Mrs. Wang mentioned her elder brother, but it was a pity that Wang Ziteng had already gone to check on the border. Even if he was still in Beijing, he and Shuntian Fu Yin had different ways of civil and military affairs, so they ignored him at all.When she remembered that she had a daughter who was a female official in the Queen's Palace, the Fu Yin kindly reminded her: "Madam, please be careful. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, even the Queen's mother is no exception. What's more, it's just a little girl. female history."

Mrs. Wang wants to say that her daughter has surrendered to the present, and that the present will soon make her daughter a concubine.But no matter how impatient she was, she knew that she couldn't bring it up, otherwise her daughter would be dead before she could become an imperial concubine.He only hoped that his daughter would be granted the seal as soon as possible, and that she could save her father from being imprisoned sooner.

Mrs. Wang, who held more hope than Jia Mu, lost!

Jia Amnesty only talked to Shuntian Fu Yin about favors, such as asking people to take care of Jia Zheng in prison, and ignored everything else.Jia Lian handed over red envelopes and said good things again, hoping to find out from the Fu Yin whether Jia Zheng was arrested by his superiors or whether Aunt Zhao was trying to bite him.

But Fu Yin didn't answer his words, and only asked: "Which two are the children of Aunt Zhao, take them away together."

There was a lot of crying and howling, but the determined Fu Yin didn't care whether others cried or laughed, as long as he didn't cry himself.

The governor, who brought Jia Zheng, father and son, came to the Ningguo Mansion very politely, saying that he came to worship the chaste woman.He also said that it was because of his negligence in handling the case that the words above the court spread to the people, so he will definitely find out the real culprit who killed the chaste woman, and then apologize to the chaste woman.

He said that he was a chaste woman, obviously to wipe out the rumors outside, at least it made everyone in Ningguo Mansion feel better, so he didn't make things difficult for him, just ask him to pay back justice as soon as possible.

Waiting for the governor to leave, Baozhu, the eldest girl in Qin Keqing's room, wept and told the masters that her master had nothing to do, and she was willing to mourn for her.Jia Rong didn't care that she was just a servant, so she applauded loudly.Even Jia Jing and Youshi nodded their heads in praise.

Xichun stood aside with tears and said, "If I hadn't been a generation older than her, I should have done this."

Youshi was afraid that Jia Jing would scold her, so he hurriedly criticized her nonsense first, and finally persuaded Xichun.It's just that since then, Xichun doesn't care that her brother is still there, and just makes offerings to Qin Keqing to burn paper every day.Jia Jing didn't care about her, and assigned Jia Rong to work with his aunt, and Jia Zhen was supported by Jia Qiang who had returned from Shuntian Mansion.

During this period, Jia Lian came to Ningguo Mansion once, thinking that Ningguo Mansion would come forward and withdraw the murder accusation against Rongguo Mansion.Jia Jing looked at him and asked coldly: "Does your father know that you come to my house?"

Seeing that Jia Lian couldn't answer, Jia Jing couldn't help but spit at him: "Hey, it's a trick to admit a thief as your father. Your father's things will be robbed by others, so maybe they will return them to you? Don't you say why?" Your father was in the early stage, but he helped the enemy to add to your father's troubles, and he only ran errands with him to earn a couple of pennies. But he didn't want to think that the thing was originally yours! Bah, useless things, it's not as bloody as Rong'er. Leave soon I’m here, be careful I’ll let someone drive you out with a big stick. Your father doesn’t want to part with it, but I don’t. My Zhener also left me a grandson, who has some hopes, what else does your father hope for!”

What he said made Jia Lian's face pale and uncertain, and he didn't dare to say another word, so he went back to Rongguo Mansion to report the letter in desperation.At this time, Rongguo Mansion was in chaos. Not long after Shuntian Mansion Yin left, officials from the Ministry of Rites to supervise the reform of Rongguo Mansion had arrived.When they came, they had people take off the plaque of Rongguo Mansion and replace it with the plaque of General Mansion.

Mother Jia was at a loss for what to do about this, so she asked Jia Lian to write a letter to Lin Ruhai, hoping to use his current confidant's strength to save Jia Zheng's official position.Unexpectedly, before the letter was sent away, someone came from the palace to deliver the Queen's order to take Lin Ruhai's daughter into the palace to be educated.He even stated that he didn't need to bring anything, but only the one piece that the girl brought with her from Yangzhou for her own use.

At this point, Mother Jia couldn't hold it any longer, she yelled "It's over", and passed out completely.

Accompanied by Jia She again, Jia Lian, who watched how the mansion was restructured, once again received the task of inviting the imperial physician, and couldn't help feeling resentful: It's always been like this, there are fun and rewards, and everyone is called Bao Er Lord.When there are embarrassing things to deal with, and errands to support, everyone calls the second master Lian.Could it be that he was really just an errand runner in this mansion as Uncle Jing said?

But it was his grandmother lying down, no matter how resentful he was, he had no choice but to go out to ask the imperial physician under the meaningful gaze of his father.When people came, they found that the hall outside the Ningguo Mansion opposite the door was bustling with people in purple clothes, and it was even bigger than when Jia Zhen's incident happened two days ago.

Regardless of watching other people's bustle, the two mansions are now in dire straits.After he took the imperial physician to diagnose and treat Jiamu, he carefully sent the person out.Just after I came back, I was stopped by my daughter-in-law: "My wife said, I want you to go to Shuntian Mansion, at least take care of it, and don't let the master suffer in it. If there is a chance, I will spend any amount of money." He was rather complacent, as if he was certain that Jia Lian would go this time just to take some advantage of it.

Unexpectedly, these words matched what Jia Jing said, "I only earn two small money by running errands with others. I don't want to think that the thing is yours in the first place", which made Jia Lian's eyes red for a moment: "Master, master. Saint Jin Everyone in the hall has spoken, the man who should be in charge of the house is my father. He is greeting the people from the Ministry of Rites, what is the matter with Guan Shuntian Mansion?! You can ask for as much money as you want, first bring [-] silver, and then we can talk about it later. "

Wang Xifeng's eyes widened, and he said in a quiet voice: "Everything that happens on weekdays is not all done by the second master, so why do you just shirk this thing. Besides, if you use money, just go to the accountant to pay for it, what do you do? I have to take out 2 taels of silver first."

Jia Lian looked at Wang Xifeng like a fool: "Go to the counting room? Have you ever thought about it, if the master is really in charge of the house, then everything in the palace is ours, why should we give it to the second room? They have been envoys all these years. They have made enough money, so they should take some out. Besides, it’s their own business, so why should the public pay for it? Is Aunt Zhao my father’s concubine?”

Wang Xifeng was a little confused by Jia Lian's words: "But that's the master."

Jia Lian gave her a white look: "I've said it all, my father is the master of this house. You are in charge of my father's house, which is justified. Don't think it's a great grace for your aunt to hand over the housekeeping power to you. I don't know if she knows that she is in charge of this family, and her name is not right, so she uses you, a rich wife, as a shield."

Regardless of whether Wang Xifeng could think it through himself or not, Jia Lian just said: "It's not that the second master has no son, so let his son Zhang Luo go. My father can't leave me." He went to Jia She again to cultivate the relationship between father and son. .

Wang Xifeng stood blankly in the middle of the ground alone, not knowing what was going on in his mind.Seeing that she was not moving, Ping'er stepped forward and called out cautiously: "Grandma, how can you answer what your wife said?" She also heard what the second master said just now.

Looking at the big girl she trusted the most, Wang Xifeng asked a little confused: "Tell me, what is the truth of what the second master said?"

Ping'er bit her lower lip, and finally said: "In my opinion, what the second master said is absolutely true. After all, the elder master really went to the Golden Palace, and it is said that he once gave up his title in public. But it is The sage refused, so the Ministry of Rites came to restructure our mansion, and also lost the official position of the second master. How about the second wife can so easily say that she wants to move out of Rongxi Hall?"

Wang Xifeng supported Ping'er's hand, and nodded frequently following her words: "Looks like we need to be careful."

Seeing that she was walking back to her own yard, Ping'er thought she was lost in her thoughts, and reminded her: "Grandma, we still have to visit the old lady in Rongqing Hall."

Wang Xifeng smiled at her: "My son is so dizzy right now, I'll ask someone to go to the street and find a doctor to show me. There is no need to ask the imperial doctor. You can also go back to the second wife, and just say that the second master is there. You have to accompany the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and it’s not easy to move around, after all, sacred orders cannot be violated.”

Ping'er understood her thoughts at once, held her hand secretly and vigorously: "Grandma lean on me a little." He raised his voice again, and shouted in a fuss: "Grandma, grandma, what's wrong with you? Come on, come on." The voice behind was full of panic.

King Yizhong looked at the person in front of him and asked: "But if you look carefully, it is indeed the princess?"

The kneeling man bowed his head and said: "Last night before the fourth watch, the princess was quietly invited out of the Ningguo mansion by the hidden guards. It was also with the help of the dark guards that the princess ascended to heaven." He said, carefully Sweat was dripping from his forehead—even if he was an abandoned son, he was still a princess, with royal blood flowing through his body.Now the king of the county wants to take advantage of the death of the princess, but if he thinks of the goodness of the princess in the future, those of them who follow the order may still fail.

This man is getting more and more moody.

Sure enough, Prince Yizhong, who was still dark-faced just now, laughed twice at this moment: "Okay, okay, as expected of a person with the blood of the father and king, there is still some pride in his bones! Only she can think of hanging at the gate of Rongguo Mansion It turned out that this king underestimated her. I knew she was so smart, so I shouldn't have buried her in the Ningguo Mansion. It's just where did the Ningguo Mansion put things? Discovered? Is that thing really not in Ningguo Mansion?"

The people below didn't dare to answer, they just quietly listened to Prince Yizhong talking to himself.After a long while, I finally heard: "Let people spread the word, just say that the silver cellar that was hidden when the country was founded, and the treasure map is in the Rongguo Mansion. The Ningguo Mansion, forget it, always waits for the princess to have a few more money." Very respectful, you don’t have to pay attention to it in the future.”

The people on the ground asked cautiously: "Jia Jing once said in Jia Zhen's mourning hall that day that the Rongguo Mansion wanted to seize Jia's lineage, was it also for the purpose of hiding silver? Many people heard that day, and I am afraid it is rumored No one believes that things are in Rongguo Mansion."

"Idiot." Prince Yizhong scolded: "If Lai Sheng was not recommended by the Rongguo Mansion, it would not be easy for people to believe, but now Lai Sheng has killed Jia Zhen, isn't it just for this Tibetan silver?" His hand? He is a slave, he cannot leave the Ningguo Mansion, so he handed things over to the master behind him. Do you still need to teach you this?"

"Yes, yes," the people on the ground flattered: "My lord is wise, my lord is wise." Isn't it wise? A Tibetan silver that no one knows is true or false can be used to trip Rongguo Mansion. If someone betrays him again, what method will the old man come up with, perhaps all the emperors since the founding of the country have hidden some gold and silver?

It's just that the master has an order, who would dare to disobey?Within a day, there was a new version about why the Rongguo Mansion wanted to kill Jia Zhen, and the theme was the so-called hidden silver that Ping surnamed most wanted to believe.

It was not Jia Amnesty but Jia Jing who was called into the palace first.After hearing the sage asking him if he really had a map of Tibetan silver at home, Jia Jing was stunned: "The sage Mingjian, don't say that the whole world is not the king's land. Looking forward to the long existence of Guozuo and enjoying the sacrifice forever, how can the so-called Tibetan silver be left behind? Before saying victory, think about defeat. I think that I will never act like this because I am wise. Even if there is really a Tibetan Yin, there is also a clan mansion, isn't it more trustworthy than the ancestors of the minister?" Your family doesn't trust your own family, but trust an outsider?It doesn't make sense.

Looking at Jia Jing who is talking eloquently, I can only say one thing today, that he is indeed one of the few people from noble families who can win the Jinshi.Just relying on this vision and bearing, he is more convincing than an official from a civilian background.

"It's just that what you said to the old woman in the Rongguo Mansion that day that she covets the lineage, isn't it because of the Tibetan silver?" Today still asked with distrust.

Bitterness appeared on Jia Jing's face: "The sage doesn't know something. Although the ancestors of our Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion are brothers, they were also proclaimed Dukes at the same time, but Jia Daishan of Rongguo Mansion did not surrender because of meritorious service. When he took the title, but my late father only took the Marquis. From then on, the old lady of the Rongguo Mansion felt dissatisfied, thinking that according to the title, the Rongguo Mansion should be respected. It's just that the late father treated him with the rules and etiquette. Rejection, let the old lady rest."

Jia Jing, who was talking, knelt down slowly towards the present: "It was also because I acted carelessly. During my father's filial piety, I fell into the trap of that old woman. In order to keep the position of patriarch of the Ningguo Mansion, I had to I have resigned from office to become a noble, and become a monk to practice Taoism. Who knows that this woman is still unwilling to give up, unexpectedly, unexpectedly..." Depressed crying sounded in the hall.

The following things all make sense, why did Jia Jing agree to the person recommended by Jia's mother to be the chief steward of Ningguo Mansion, and why rumors about Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing suddenly spread in Rongguo Mansion.

Nowadays, there is no sympathy for Jia Jing who is kneeling. A big man is still in his own house, and an aunt in the next room is tricked. It can only be said that the men in Ningguo Mansion are really lustful and useless in the same vein.That's fine, with such a person standing there, no one can say that honor is being suppressed today.

"Forget it, get up." Jinjin greeted Jia Jing.After he thanked her, he said: "I think you have heard about your granddaughter-in-law who has gone, and her identity is a bit different. The royal family can't recognize her identity for the time being, it's just her funeral, you can't be careless."

When Jia Jing heard this, he knelt down again: "I will do my best. It's just that my grandson's daughter-in-law left a letter before going, and she doesn't want to be too far away from the capital. She only wants to be buried near Jingxiao."

The sage sighed after hearing the words: "Oh, you don't know, that is also a poor child. Her mother's background is a bit unspeakable, so she was only buried in Jingxiao. I think she didn't want to be too far away from Beijing. In the future, she will pay her mother's attention. Nothing to rely on. Forget it, I will have my own will later, and I will tell you where she is buried."

Jia Jing didn't know whether she was referring to Qin Keqing or her unspeakable mother.He only knew that so far, all of Qin Keqing's plans had succeeded.

King Yizhong already knew that Ningguo Mansion had lost its use value, so he would no longer pay attention to Ningguo Mansion.The Rongguo Mansion at both ends of the Shoushu now has not only enmity with Jia Zhen, but also Qin Keqing's enmity with Ningguo Mansion.There is no other possibility for the two governments except to divide the clan.In this way, if anything happens in the Rongguo Mansion in the future, it will not be implicated in the Ningguo Mansion.

What's more, it would not be a bad thing to say that there will be a decree in person, I'm afraid it will directly favor Qin Keqing.That's right, she died so violently, even if the royal family recognized her identity, she would not lose face.

It's just a pity that such a smart granddaughter-in-law died just like that.Jia Jing couldn't hold back his old tears and shed tears again: If such a granddaughter-in-law supports her, even if Rong'er is no longer a weapon, the Ningguo Mansion can still be defended and passed on, right?He doesn't need to worry about the upbringing of his great-grandson in the future, right?

What a pity, what a pity.After receiving the imperial decree, Jia Jing felt even more regretful about losing a good granddaughter-in-law: the current imperial decree states that Qin Keqing is the daughter of Prince Xianyizhong, but because of strife in the backyard, she has to hide her name to avoid disaster.Unexpectedly, he was framed by villains and had to die to prove his innocence.His feelings are sympathetic, and his integrity is grateful to heaven.Therefore, he was specially chased as the county monarch to show his integrity.He also agreed to Qin Keqing's request before his death to set up the tomb of the county monarch in Beijing.All his dowry was added to his mother-in-law's aunt.

"My good wife!" Jia Rong cried bitterly.Because the imperial decree came so timely - even if Duke Yizhong didn't plan to pay any attention to Ningguo Mansion, he was still thinking about what he stuffed into Qin Keqing's dowry that day, so he sent someone to Ningguo Mansion to ask for it.

The person who came was none other than Jia Rong's nominal father-in-law, Qin Bangye who had not been pissed off by Qin Zhong until now.His reason is sufficient, that is, Qin Keqing has nothing to do with herself, and her natal family has the right to withdraw her dowry.It's just that his request is at odds with Qin Keqing's letter to Jia Rong. The two sides are at a stalemate. Once the imperial edict comes, it will solve the big problem of Ningguo Mansion.

After all, the forces in the dark are in the dark and cannot compete with the imperial power on the bright side.Facing the imperial decree, Qin Bangye, who is still a courtier today, has nothing to say.But before he left, Jia Jing asked Jia Rong to hand him a box: "This is what Rong's daughter-in-law ordered to give to her in-laws. She is always raised."

Yes, it was just a raise. From now on, Qin Keqing has nothing to do with the Qin family.After receiving the box, Qin Bangye seemed to cry and smiled: "I dare not bother you anymore. I just have a merciless request."

Jia Jing shook his head and refused to let him continue: "Don't worry. No matter what the imperial decree says, you have always been Rong'er's father-in-law. He will fulfill his duties as a son-in-law." What else can you say? , The chess pieces are already useless, so what's the use of keeping the person who contacted the chess pieces?

Qin Keqing's spirit only stayed for seven days, and the Ministry of Rites selected an auspicious place for her to be buried in peace.The white banner like a mountain of silver pressing down on the ground can't call back the far away figure, and the loud cry calls for the footsteps of leaving.No matter how much reluctance, no matter how much unwillingness, will be sent away with her coffin, and it will come to an end on this Ningrong Street. From now on, life has nothing to do with her! ?
