Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Based on Jia Zhen's confession, Emperor Chongzhao ordered Chen Duo to surround the Rongguo Mansion that morning, arrest Jia She and Jia Lian, and send documents to Lianghuai to suspend Jia Zheng's school assignment, detain him on the spot, and deport him to Beijing.

Everyone in the Rongguo Mansion burst into tears within a few moments.

Madam Xing threw herself into Madam Wang's arms, crying, cursing, and begging, "If you hadn't schemed to offend your niece back then, would your family have been criticized like this?

"Your brother and niece are the favorites of the Emperor, can't you put aside your stupid and stinky face, admit your mistake, and beg them?

"Do you really want to watch the Jia family fall apart and your sons and daughters be sold off? Please, please, go find your brother and your niece!"

Mrs. Wang was already in a state of panic, and being scolded in such a way, she was so angry that she couldn't help crying and trying to get away with it:

"If sacrificing my life can bring safety to your whole family, then that's fine.

“But now it’s obvious that it’s because of what Zhen-ge’er said that they arrested the master and Lian-er.

"Even if I am cut into pieces, what good will it do?

"The eldest lady is bullying and scolding me, so I might as well think of some way to excuse the eldest master and his men!

"Our Second Master was not in the capital at all. He knew nothing about these things, but he was dragged into it.

"Madam, I haven't made any noise yet, just be quiet!"

Lady Jia had been worried and distressed lately, and had not been feeling well. Just now, Imperial Physician You had written a prescription for relieving liver depression, but before the medicine was ready, the imperial guards surrounded the two mansions.

Everyone had a conspiracy at first, but they also felt that the emperor could not have any real evidence, and that by then there would be old friends and acquaintances who would plead for them. So they felt quite fearless, thinking that Jia Zhen and his son were only called in for questioning and would be released the next day anyway.

Unexpectedly, before dawn and before people opened their eyes, the imperial guards entered the mansion directly and without saying a word, delivered the imperial decree to arrest Jia She and Jia Lian, father and son.

This is not just the "please go and ask" that Chen Duo said the day before, this is an imperial edict!

Grandmother Jia’s eyes went dark and she passed out immediately!

Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang were arguing when they heard Yuanyang cry out in grief, "Old lady!"

The two of them were so frightened that they stopped and rushed over together.

But out of habit, they could only cry out for "doctor please" heartbreakingly, without being able to help at all.

Yuanyang forced herself to calm down and immediately ordered Amber, "Madam and Sister Lin have been ill for many years, I'm afraid she has emergency medicine!

"Go quickly and invite the aunt over!"

Amber was crying with her mouth tightly covered. She nodded and stumbled out.

"This mansion is in such a mess, can't Madam Gu hear it?!

"If she can go find Lin Ruhai, or even better, Sister Lin! Sister Lin is in the palace!"

There was a gleam of light in Mrs. Wang's eyes!

Madam Xing only heard the first sentence and then she retorted, "She and your daughter live deep in the mansion. She didn't come, and your daughter didn't come either.

"Don't talk about your daughter. Your son is still lying in bed in his yard!?"

Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and lowered her head.

Soon, Jia Min, Jia Yuanchun and Jia Baoyu all ran in in panic.

As expected, Jia Min brought a heart-protecting pill from her early years and asked Yuanyang to dissolve it in warm water and feed it to Lady Jia.

Half an hour later, Jia's mother woke up slowly, her vision blurry. When she saw her daughter, she was surprised and happy, but then she was heartbroken again. She grabbed Jia Min's hand and said:

"Min'er! Go and beg your daughter and your husband to save us!"

Jia Min smiled sadly: "Ru Hai divorced me and even tried every means to prevent my daughter from seeing me again, just to prevent today.

"Mother, they are both in the palace. But the Rong Mansion has been surrounded. I can't even get out, let alone enter the palace!"

Jia Baoyu was crying loudly beside him. When he heard this, he suddenly stopped crying and said, "Sister Lin will know about this, right?

"She will definitely get the news and come to rescue us!"

After saying this, she wiped her tears and stopped crying. She even stood up and told the maids in the room: "Boil water when it's time to boil water, cook when it's time to cook. We have to survive."

Everyone looked at him blankly.

A child with red eyes and tears on his face, but an innocent smile.

Grandmother Jia covered her chest and fell back onto the pillow. She trembled and whispered slowly, "Well, let's just leave it to fate..."

Indeed, the news reached Yinyu Palace.

He Ke and Princess Zhai were shocked.

Then Lin Daiyu began to sob.

He Ke stood up and wanted to go find Wang Xifeng, Empress Mo, and Emperor Chongzhao, but was stopped by Lin Daiyu, who sobbed and cried:

“Don’t go.

"If they violated the law, it would be useless for anyone to go.

“If they have extenuating circumstances, the Emperor will consider how to deal with them.

"My mother...my mother..."

Lin Daiyu suddenly burst into tears, "My father wanted to divorce me, but my mother went back to the Jia Mansion without saying a word.

"She just doesn't want to implicate me!"

Princess Zhai held her in her arms and sighed softly.

Although the crying in the side hall was not loud, Wang Xifeng could hear it clearly.

The Jia family is finished.

If the Jia family were finished, it would only take a moment for the four families to fall apart and collapse.

As for Wang Ziteng...

Wang Xifeng sat by the window, looking at two little tits rubbing against each other in the tree outside, slightly absent-minded.

I don’t know whether Wang Ziteng will try every means to save his “old relatives” after hearing all this, or whether he will once again express his loyalty to the new emperor and quickly betray everything he knows.

However, the private contact between Jia Jing, Prince Beijing, Concubine Zhen and Prince Xiaoyao took place after Wang Ziteng left the capital.

As long as these people don't bite him out, he might be able to escape the disaster...

Wang Xifeng was somewhat unwilling.

Although none of the four surnames are good people, Wang Ziteng's career and ambition are the most direct reasons why these people have been so busy over the years.

Otherwise, a century-old family with three generations of dukes and marquises could enjoy honor and glory for another thirty to fifty years as long as they lived a quiet life and waited for death.

"Your Majesty, Chen Duo requests to see you." Jing Li walked in quietly, and seeing that she was in a trance, he did not dare to speak loudly.

Wang Xifeng turned around and raised her eyebrows: "Shouldn't he be trying the Jia family's case in the inner temple now?

"Why, did the Emperor ask him to come and get me?"

Jing Li hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said, "He brought Han Lue with him, just the two of them."

"In other words, at least they are here to question me." Wang Xifeng's expression was indifferent, but she raised her chin slightly and held her head high.

After a pause, she softly ordered, "You all stay outside. Especially keep an eye on He Ke, don't let her in."

Jing Li couldn't help showing sympathy in his eyes, but then he felt annoyed and lowered his head before clasping his fists and bowing to Wang Xifeng:

"Yes, ma'am."

Seeing his still respectful manner, Wang Xifeng laughed: "You now look almost like Jingquan and Jingshun."
