Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

After Lin Daiyu's interference, Jia Min finally made up her mind and declined Jia Wang's invitation, saying only: "The old lady has experienced many hardships and is the wisest.

"My two brothers have been in officialdom for a long time, and their knowledge is much broader than that of a woman like me who lives in a secluded house.

"I went there once, left, and came back again. I had to leave again in the evening. If someone had a ulterior motive, it would be bad.

"From the beginning to the end, it was all the three of us together, and Lady Liangdi never had any private conversations with anyone.

"Second sister-in-law can just discuss countermeasures with her family behind closed doors. It doesn't matter if I go or not.

"If there is anything you need me to know, please ask mother to send someone to see me again."

As he spoke, he called the maid who was with him, carried the sick Lin Daiyu to the carriage, and then he got in and sat down, lifted the curtain and said goodbye to Jia Wangshi:

"My sister is not feeling well. I think she caught a cold after walking all the way. I will go back to the mansion and ask the doctor to take a look. Second sister-in-law should go back earlier as well."

Lower the curtain and leave.

Jia Wangshi was so stunned by what she said that she couldn't even get a chance to speak. She glared at the carriage with hatred on her face, turned around and got on it to go back to Rongguo Mansion.

After returning home, she took Jia Baoyu directly to Grandmother Jia's main room without changing her clothes.

"How is it?!" As soon as Lady Jia saw her, she asked for the answer without caring whether she bowed or not.

Jia Wangshi gave a bitter smile and ordered, "Take Baoyu to change his clothes, wash his hands, and take a nap."

After her son's figure disappeared behind the curtain of the inner room, she leaned forward and whispered to Grandmother Jia what had happened, adding, "I can't figure out what Feng girl meant by that.

"But unfortunately today, the eldest and second masters are out having New Year's Eve dinner... Old lady, do you think we should send someone to call them back?"

Grandmother Jia frowned tightly, and after a while, she nodded gently: "Okay. However, I already know what Wang Liangdi hinted at."

He paused and raised an eyebrow, "Why didn't Min'er come back with you?"

"The aunt said that she had come once before and everyone saw her when she left. If she came again, she was afraid that someone would speculate. The daughter-in-law thought that what she said made sense, so she didn't force her to come."

After Jia Wangshi finished explaining, she asked tentatively, "Does the old lady know what Feng girl meant?"

Grandmother Jia hummed, and remained silent for a long time before she frowned and whispered, "I guess your Majesty has already had the heart to abdicate after this illness."

Jia Wang was horrified: "Oh my God!!!"

Grandmother Jia took a deep breath and said, "Come here, please ask the young Marquis to come over to the mansion immediately for a chat!

“Please ask your eldest and second masters to return home.

“Next, go to the East Palace and call Zhen’er over.

"Hurry up."

Wang family.

After listening to Mrs. Xue Wang's story, Wang Ziteng twirled his beard and pondered for a moment, then suddenly his face changed and he stood up: "Your Majesty wants to abdicate the throne!"

Mrs. Xue was startled: "Ah?! Your Majesty is not very strong..."

Before he could finish his words, he was speechless when he recalled what Wang Ziteng had said about Emperor Shengping fainting in public at the New Year's Eve banquet and that he was still recuperating.

"That won't do!" Wang Ziteng was so anxious that he paced back and forth. "Feng girl's knot has not been resolved yet, and we and the prince are not really a family yet! If Your Majesty lets go of it now, there's no guarantee that the prince won't provoke trouble..."

"Second brother!" Mrs. Xue Wang was so frightened that her voice changed. She shouted at him, "If you continue to be so rude, I will move out!"

Wang Ziteng then gritted his teeth, thought about it, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, forced a smile, and comforted Mrs. Xue Wang: "My foolish brother was just in a hurry.

"Forget it, you must be tired after this trip, go back and rest.

"The princess chose Miss Lin but not our Baojie. I think she must be feeling uncomfortable. As a mother, go back and comfort her.

"I'll think about it and see what to do next."

Xue Wangshi then relaxed her shoulders, stood up, thought for a moment before leaving, and advised Wang Ziteng a few more words: "Second brother, don't worry too much. Liang Di knows that you can't write two Wang characters with one stroke.

"Otherwise, why would she have to take the risk and call us into the palace to tell us such a big thing?

"Yuanchun of the Jia family is no longer useful. I'm afraid my sister is still unwilling to accept this. Second brother, please try to persuade her.

"Our sister is now a concubine. When she enters the Daming Palace, she will at least have the title of concubine. Isn't it good to support our own daughter? Why do we have to get involved with others?"

Wang Ziteng pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "What my little sister said makes sense.

“It’s just that before…she was still a little awkward with our second room.

"Now I can only ask my younger sister to mediate - if Feng girl is willing to reconcile, as your uncle, I will do anything!"

"I'm glad that Second Brother can think it through. Leave everything to my little sister. I will make sure that Concubine Liang will treat this place as her mother's home again!" Mrs. Xue Wang was satisfied and left with a smile on her face.

Wang Ziteng looked at her back with a complicated expression.

He really couldn't understand how his little sister, a girl with such a soft heart and a simple ear, could have caught the eye of Feng Jieer?

Is it because she is gullible?

Wang Ziteng frowned and sat down.

He suddenly thought of another possibility - was Wang Xifeng deceiving his two stupid sisters?

but……

Not right either.

Also present at the time was Jia Min, Lin Ruhai's wife. And Lin Ruhai had obviously become the prince's right-hand man.

If this matter was false, then when Jia Min returned home and had a chat with Lin Ruhai, she would have known that the evil creature was pretending and lying to deceive people - this was not a trap, but an open enemy!

"She just got the title of Liang Di and adopted a princess. She would never do such a self-destructive thing!" Wang Ziteng slowly gritted his teeth, "This is true!"

He couldn't sit still any longer and strode out of the study: "Come on, prepare the horses, I want to go out!"

The servant came up and reminded carefully: "People are still listening to opera in the front yard, the banquet has not ended. The Duke of Zhenguo and other distinguished guests have not left yet..."

Wang Ziteng stamped his feet anxiously. Suddenly he remembered something and asked the servant, "Have the two princes of Xining and Nan'an left? And the chief officials of the East and North Prefectures?"

"The two princes haven't left yet, and the chief historian of the Northern Palace is still here!"

"Great! Go out now and quietly invite the three of them over!" Wang Ziteng was overjoyed. After thinking for a moment, he said, "The second master of the Jia family is still here, right?"

"Here I am."

"Please come together!" Wang Ziteng was a little more excited, his eyes full of calculation.

The news sent by Wang Xifeng quietly caused an uproar in the capital.

But she didn't care about it.

What she cared about was that after dinner, the prince brought He Ke and Tao Ge'er back from the Daming Palace. The prince and Tao Ge'er went back to bed early. He Ke even simply greeted her, introduced the female guards, and said that he was tired and went back to his room to sleep.

This is not right.

Normally at this time, He Ke would have rushed in and excitedly hugged him and gossiped about everything, and wanted to show off the extraordinary martial arts skills of the female guard he had recruited.

But today, he went back to sleep listlessly? !

The more Wang Xifeng thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She ordered, "Please ask Madam Ji to come."
