Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Yu choked up and called the court doctor to bandage Wang Ziteng's wounds.

After everyone calmed down, Wang Ziteng taught them to "go back to their own rooms, read and reflect, and don't walk around."

Wang Yi and Wang Li had already moved into the front yard. Since their father was fine at the moment, it was not appropriate for them to stay in the inner house for too long. They accompanied him to Yu's room, watched Wang Ziteng lie down, and then said goodbye and left.

Wang Jialuan stayed beside Yu without saying a word.

With no one else around, Yu taught Wang Jialuan a lesson in front of Wang Ziteng: "Since your sister told you something so important in the ancestral temple, why didn't you come back and tell the adults?

“Also, why did you go to see the prince secretly?

"Your sister didn't even go, what identity do you have to go there?!

“Since you are eight years old, only five years older than the Crown Prince’s eldest daughter, there is nothing wrong with going to see the Crown Prince—then you should go openly and honorably!

"How can a girl from a big family like us do such a thing as peeking?!

"It's a good thing that the prince mistook the person who was peeping for your elder sister, so he personally spoke up to cover up the matter. Otherwise, if it got out, I, your mother, would have no chance of living as a human being!"

Wang Ziteng listened to her talking for a long time but still couldn't get to the point. He frowned and finally suppressed the urge to teach his wife a lesson in front of their daughter.

Wang Jialuan lowered her head and didn't dare to say anything back, but she was unhappy. She rubbed the ground with her feet under her skirt without saying a word.

Wang Ziteng saw that she was not convinced.

If you don't take care of a girl when she grows up and she becomes a bad person, her life will be ruined.

I had no choice but to speak up myself:

“Don’t look at what is indecent, don’t listen to what is indecent.

"You've been studying for two years. You must have finished reading the Analects, right? You should understand these two sentences, right?"

Wang Jialuan bit her lip and lowered her head, her fingers of both hands clenched together helplessly.

Wang Ziteng continued in a gentle voice: "Sister Luan, your elder sister was chosen by His Majesty, and she must enter the palace.

"Your Majesty has also issued an order that the sisters of the concubines' mothers do not have to participate in the selection.

"It's hard to live in the palace, and your knowledge and scheming, as well as your good looks, are far inferior to your elder sister.

"Your mother and I don't intend to let you enter the palace again.

"From now on, you don't have to be curious about the palace and the royal family anymore."

Wang Jialuan looked up in surprise, eyes full of disbelief.

Wang Ziteng nodded slightly and said, "Did you meet my cousin Yuanchun from my aunt's family when I went to the Jia Mansion last time?"

Wang Jialuan nodded: "Yes."

"She started to learn various skills at the age of four from an old maid who had retired from the palace. She was originally prepared by the Jia family for marriage with the royal family.

“Although there is only one position for a female historian now, her ambition must not be here.

"Think about it, if she and you meet in the palace, and the emperor or the prince only has one golden hairpin in his hand, will he give it to you or her?"

Wang Ziteng patiently persuaded Wang Jialuan and went straight to the heart of her concern.

No matter how confident and proud Wang Jialuan was, she had to admit that Jia Yuanchun was the dignified, virtuous, and skilled person. She immediately felt wronged, sobbing and admitting honestly: "It must be my cousin Yuanchun."

"Then if you and your sister Feng were together, who do you think the prince would give the golden hairpin to?"

Speaking of Wang Xifeng, Wang Jialuan was a little unconvinced: "In another seven or eight years, I can be as eloquent and impressive as her!"

Wang Ziteng sighed softly: "Okay. Even if you are better than her, the golden hairpin was awarded to you. Do you think your sister Feng is the kind of person who will sit and wait for death? Will she let you take it away without trying to take it back?"

Before he finished speaking, someone suddenly came in awkwardly and knelt in the corner of the room, reporting: "The eldest girl brought some people to break into the second girl's room, saying that there were a few things that were the eldest lady's dowry. The second girl said she wanted to borrow them to display, but it has been five years and it is time to return them.

"She said she was leaving home soon, and had no money except the old lady's dowry shop. She was so poor that she had to take back all the things she had lent."

Wang Ziteng was stunned and asked Yu and Wang Jialuan, "How many things did you take from the eldest girl? A dozen or more? More than twenty?!"

Being confronted by her father, Wang Jialuan felt ashamed and angry, and she yelled at Yu: "My aunt's shop is full of new Western things, which are expensive and good!

"Why do you only have some worthless cloth in your shop, and you have to sell it to our servants to make clothes in order to survive!?

"——Why am I not my aunt's daughter?!"

After yelling, he ran away crying.

The servant felt that he had caused trouble, so he slipped away quietly!

Facing Wang Ziteng's contemptuous and disgusted gaze, Yu's face turned pale and she slid down the wall to the ground!

"A son will never despise his mother's ugliness, and a dog will never despise his family's poverty. My eight-year-old daughter has been taught by you, a bitch, to be so greedy, vain, and shameless!

"I should have chosen a wife from among my four relatives to be the head of the family, and I wouldn't have let an incompetent fool like you make my family restless and my children stubborn!"

After humiliating his wife in a low voice while gritting his teeth, Wang Ziteng ignored the fact that Yu was shaking and wailing silently. He just took a deep breath and shouted:

"Alright! Since it's the dowry of the wife of the eldest house, it's Fengjie's private property! If you take someone's things, you have to return them!

"Let Feng take the list and check the things with Luanjie'er's wet nurse, and take away everything that belongs to her!"

Having said that, Wang Ziteng's gaze suddenly fixed on the boxes and cabinets behind Yu.

There was a piece of white gauze with Western patterns draped over the lid of the box. It was obvious at first glance that it was not owned by Dayong.

Wang Ziteng's eyes turned cold, he raised his hand and pointed at the gauze and said:

"It's the same not only in Luanjie's room, but also here, Madam.

"Return what belongs to them to them!"

The servant stood at the door, listened to everything, bowed and replied "yes", but did not leave, as if he was hesitant to speak.

Wang Ziteng frowned: "What are you still dawdling about?"

"Then, the old lady's room... the eldest lady's dowry, the old lady's room, should be the most..." The servant almost retracted his head into his chest before he could stop!

Wang Ziteng closed his eyes.

His hands outside the quilt were clenched into fists and his eyelids kept trembling.

He just felt angry!

"The East Sea lacks a white jade bed, so the Dragon King comes to ask for the King of Jiangnan."

He is from the Wang family, very wealthy!

Even if the eldest wife is very good at business, has a good eye for picking things, and has a dowry of many carts and boats, the people of the Wang family have seen and eaten before, so why would they covet her little things? !

It's really, so embarrassing!

"How dare you!" Wang Ziteng frowned, "Sister Feng gave her gifts, and the old lady loved to play with new things, so the items in the two rooms are in a mess!

"I'll give you a few people, take them to find Aunt Chun who is in front of the old lady.

"Take advantage of this opportunity, no one should be lazy, sort out everything that belongs to Feng girl and return it to her!"

Although I was scolded, there is a solution after all.

The servant left happily.

Half an hour later, the sound of porcelain and jade being smashed came from the main courtyard.

A moment later, someone rushed out and shouted:

"The old lady is vomiting blood! Report it to the Second Master! We need to call the imperial physician! Call the imperial physician!"
