Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

After coming out of the study in the front yard, Wang Xifeng did not go back directly, but strolled in the garden very leisurely.

"Our garden is so beautiful! I've visited many houses, but I've never seen a family with more fruit trees than ours!" Wang Xifeng reached out and picked a pomegranate, then broke it open and ate it.

Ping Erh had no time to stop him, so she could only lament, "Miss, I just painted your nails last night..."

"What's the big deal? I must wash it before entering the palace." Wang Xifeng evaded the question casually, looked around, and said to Ping'er seriously, "I have an important task to entrust to a confidant."

Ping Er immediately crossed her arms and bowed her head: "I will obey your orders, young lady. If you have any questions, I will not refuse even if I die!"

Wang Xifeng stared at her for a moment, then beckoned her, "Come closer and listen."

Ping'er lowered her head and listened to everything. She raised her head with tears in her eyes and said, "Miss! They dare not do this! Didn't you say that you have already made an agreement with the old lady of the Jia Mansion?"

Wang Xifeng laughed softly: "Do you think that without Grandmother's approval, Auntie would dare to plot against me like that in her husband's family?

"Why did my grandfather leave my grandmother in the old house when he came to Beijing to serve as an official? The so-called serving the elders was just an excuse.

"My grandmother is short-sighted, has a quick temper, and has a chronic illness. Whenever she encounters something, if she insists on making a fuss, then everyone has to give in to her.

"Although I have passed the test of the old lady of the Jia family and my second uncle, as long as my grandmother is still angry, I don't know what traps I will face."

Ping Erh began to sob, "When you were young, the old lady loved you. But in the past five years, you have been taken care of by heaven.

"When she told others about it, they all said that she didn't let you go back to the south because she loved you. It would be fine if she didn't care, but she even schemed against you. Doesn't she feel guilty?"

Wang Xifeng chuckled, "If she felt guilty, she should go back to her old house and let her eldest son take care of her instead of staying in Beijing to do housework. To put it bluntly, she just can't bear to give up her wealth and glory."

Ping'er didn't dare to respond.

Wang Xifeng patted her head and smiled: "The only two people you can trust and entrust your life and property to are you and An'er.

“But An’er isn’t as clever as you, and she can’t open her mouth when something important happens.

"What you said yesterday when you scolded Jia Lian at the Jia family was brilliant. I thought at that time that you were the most suitable person for this matter!"

Ping'er's face showed determination: "Don't worry, young lady, even if you risk your life, I will do this for you!"

The master and servant went back to the courtyard hand in hand to rest and not mention anything else.

The next day, Wang Ziteng had a sincere talk with his mother. In the afternoon, old lady Wang fell ill. The court doctor was helpless, so Wang Ziteng went to ask the imperial physician in frustration.

Not only that, he also wrote a letter to Jinling, asking Mrs. Xue Wang to bring the two children to Beijing. At the same time, he also sent a message to Mrs. Jia Wang.

Wang Xifeng and Wang Jialuan were not allowed to visit until the next morning, and Wang Xifeng was even left behind to take care of him.

Aunt Meng was extremely dissatisfied, but because of the word "filial piety", she couldn't say anything. She just handed the letter that she needed to report to the palace to Wang Ziteng personally.

He said, "There have been a lot of things going on in your mansion recently. Lord Wang, you must first stabilize the internal situation before fighting against foreign enemies. You should take some time to tidy up the inner house.

"The day when Cheng Hui enters the palace is getting closer, but she hasn't memorized all the rules of the Eastern Palace yet."

Wang Ziteng sighed and said, "This is a troubled time. My wife is ill and Sister Luan is still young, so I have no choice but to let Feng Chenghui take the blame.

"It's just that what my aunt said is very true. Feng Chenghui's homework is still important."

That same day, he handed over the household affairs to his second son's biological mother and an aunt.

Old Madam Wang was lying on her hospital bed, raging with rage.

When Jia Wang came to visit, she was also very dissatisfied: "The huge Jingying Jiedushi Mansion is actually called by a concubine. If this gets out, people will laugh at her to death!"

Wang Ziteng looked at her coldly: "Is it more ridiculous than an aunt plotting against her niece but failing, and encouraging her mother to pretend to be sick to control her brother?"

Jia Wangshi blushed, stiffened her neck and cried to Old Lady Wang: "Mother, look at Erlang! I tried so hard to get him a job, and I was wrong!"

Old Lady Wang scolded Wang Ziteng for being ungrateful.

Wang Ziteng sneered: "That's easy, I will resign tomorrow and go back to my hometown to look after my brother's grave!

"Sister, you are so resourceful, why not use them on your own children and grandchildren? You don't need to worry about our family affairs!"

Jia Wangshi ran away crying.

Old Lady Wang then started pounding the bed and pillow and crying, saying that Wang Ziteng was unfilial and that she would rather die.

Wang Ziteng finally got annoyed and stood up and said angrily, "Okay, I just want my family to be safe and I don't want the emperor to laugh at me. It turns out I was wrong.

"If mother insists on making a fuss, I'll let you do it.

"But if Sister Feng comes back at you, you'll have to find a way to back off. Don't expect me to come to your rescue!"

After saying that, he left angrily.

Hearing the emperor's opinion, Old Lady Wang shrank back and hesitated for a moment, but when she looked up and saw the celadon tea set on the coffee table that she had smashed to the point that only a pot and a cup were left, her anger rose again.

He immediately ordered his maid, "Go tell Feng girl that I am sick and I miss her grandfather.

"Ask her to go to Da Ci'en Temple and burn incense for me."

Wang Xifeng refused to go, and the next day she pretended to be sick, lying in bed and listening to Aunt Meng's lecture. On the other hand, she ordered someone to quietly tell Wang Jialuan about this.

Wang Jialuan couldn't wait to lift the house arrest, so when she got the news, she immediately knocked on the door and shouted that she was willing to go and burn incense for her grandmother.

Aunt Meng praised Wang Jialuan for her filial piety.

Yier turned around and reported this to Yu.

Yu, who was in desperate need of an excuse to turn the situation around, knew that this was a plan by her mother-in-law to plot against Wang Xifeng, but now that it had been taken seriously by the aunts in the palace, she did not dare to gamble with her daughter's future and join her mother-in-law in making trouble.

In three minutes, his "condition improved" and Wang Jialuan was released. The mother and daughter went to the Da Ci'en Temple devoutly, burned incense, and kowtowed several times.

When Old Lady Wang heard about this, she was so angry that she beat her chest and cried on the bed: "Who am I doing this for? You come to ruin my show! What an unfilial bunch of descendants!"

He got angry over and over again and actually fell ill.

Wang Ziteng felt extremely regretful and went to his mother's bedside to surrender.

Madam Wang was pleased and immediately ordered him, “Your father told me in a dream that all these things at home happened because he was unhappy.

"Only when his blood relatives go back and burn paper for him in person, will he be at peace.

"Of course you can't leave, your two brothers already have proper jobs in the military camp, and Luanjie is still young.

"Let Feng go back to Jinling before she enters the palace."

This is just telling lies with open eyes.

How far is Jinling? If Wang Xifeng went back and came back, a month or two would have passed. How could she enter the palace?

Wang Ziteng had no choice but to tactfully advise: "How about going to the family temple in Beijing to fast for three days?"

Old Lady Wang was about to continue making a fuss, but after thinking it over carefully, she realized that if she just said she was going back south, she would not be able to explain to Aunt Meng, so she nodded in agreement.

Anyway, these three days are enough for her to use her tricks.
