Even though he was a confidant and old servant who knew the secrets of Jia's mansion like the back of his hand, Jiao Er didn't dare to answer casually, and just stood his hands in silence.Jia Jing didn't pay attention to it, instead of talking to Jiao Er, he was talking to himself overly excited.

Suddenly stopping in front of the Sanqing statue, he stared at the Taichang Laojun on the yellowed silk scroll, and laughed softly: "General Shenwei carefully took the child to hide in the villa and rarely went to Beijing. Your Majesty doesn't know Why, you didn’t touch him. If his old lady wasn’t sick this time, he wouldn’t have had such a great opportunity to eradicate the grass. However, His Majesty only sent the Liu family secretly, which is a bit intriguing.”

Hearing this, Jiao Er suddenly felt a little uneasy, and couldn't help reminding him: "My lord, since it is His Majesty's will, will you offend His Majesty by doing this?"

After staying in this area for several years, Jia Jing is well-informed.After receiving the news that Jia Qiang was in danger, he immediately dispatched Jiao Er.Shicai seemed to have only brought a coachman with him, and even asked soldiers to accompany him for protection when he returned, but in fact it was just an act, and there were masters following behind him secretly.

Jia Jing only said to ask him to find a young man who was with Jia Qiang, but he didn't say that it was Feng Ziying, let alone that he was so similar to Jia Qiang.He almost lost his composure when he saw it for the first time, but now he can't help but think about it.He also heard that Jia Jing said that today he wanted to get rid of Feng Ziying, and he couldn't help being very worried.

Jia Jing glared at him: "What do you know! Whether our Ning Mansion can restore the prominence of our ancestors in this world is all related to this!"

"Master, you..." Jiao Er hesitated.Compared with his reckless elder brother Jiao Da, he is extra cautious and shrewd, otherwise he would not be recognized by Jia Jing as his confidant.But after serving his master for decades, he thought he was absolutely sure of his mind, but now he suddenly couldn't understand Jia Jing's words.

Jia Jing didn't seem to have any intention of explaining, so he suddenly changed the subject and brought up Jia Qiang's family: "Back then, Wei'er married that woman in a hurry and gave birth to Qiang'er eight months later. It’s a good pretense. Because Wei’er has always been close to that person and acted like this, I was afraid that if I opened my mouth, I wouldn’t be able to explain it clearly, so I didn’t dare to hand over the woman and Qiang’er directly to His Majesty. I said it a year ago. After half a year of limelight, send them to Zhuangzi, and then find an excuse to get rid of their mother and son. Unexpectedly, the second uncle of Rongfu got the news from somewhere, and even told the second sister-in-law, and the couple killed together Ning Mansion, using this as a threat, saying that if I don’t get rid of the woman who caused harm to the whole family immediately, I will report me to His Majesty, and I will kill all the houses in Ning Mansion! Life. I don’t want Wei’er to be an infatuated person, and she also followed her!”

Having said that, Jia Jing's expression has become very sad: "Wei'er is like me in everything, but this is not the case. Isn't she just a woman, there are thousands of women in the world, and I will marry whoever he wants , Why bother! I kept the Ning Mansion, but I couldn’t pass it on to my beloved son, so what’s the use of it.”

Jiao Er knew that this was Jia Jing's greatest regret in his life. After the death of his eldest son Jia Wei, he was disheartened and passed the title to his second son Jia Zhen.

He was about to say a few words to comfort his master, but Jia Jing's tone suddenly became fanatical and joyful: "Fortunately, the sky never stops me, and Qiang'er is indeed Wei'er's child! Fortunately, even though I was sad at the beginning, I still obeyed." Wei'er's last wish before his death spared no effort to save Qiang'er, but he did not allow anyone to tell him the truth. Otherwise, how could my grandparents be reunited today!"

Hearing this, Jiao Er couldn't bear it any longer, and blurted out, "Master, back then the young master said that Brother Qiang was his own flesh and blood, but you never believed it, why today—"

"Did you forget Feng Ziying? General Shenwei went back to his hometown at that juncture. When he came back, he said that a concubine in his hometown had a child. He kept it secret because he was afraid that his wife would not allow it. The world may believe this statement. However, the emperor and several close confidantes among the Eight Dukes did not believe it. They always believed that the child—that is, Feng Ziying, was the root of the one who left behind."

"But the master doesn't think so?" Jiao Er had vaguely guessed something, but he still didn't dare to confirm it.

Jia Jing hesitantly: "I originally thought that with that method, if it was really his child, how could it be known all over the world? In addition, Wei'er took the initiative to marry that woman. I always thought that the Feng family It's just the cover that that person pulled up, that Qiang'er is a serious descendant of the royal family. I didn't confirm it until I saw the two grown-up children with my own eyes just now."

Jiao Er was puzzled: "This...Master, Brother Qiang and that Young Master Feng look like they were carved out of a mold, how can you confirm?"

"Because you have never seen the King of Runan." Jia Jing said slowly, "The boy's features are so heroic that anyone who has seen his father will never mistake him. Er once told me that Qiang'er's mother was originally a commoner woman. When the King of Runan was traveling, he was surprised that she looked like a princess. He thought it was novel and brought her back to the mansion to serve as a maid for the concubine. Wei'er often walked around the palace. I have been in love with her for a long time. Before the accident, I quietly helped her escape, and I fabricated my identity and pretended to be the daughter of a down-and-out official before marrying her. I thought that the king of Runan taught him these words, no I thought it was true... I thought it happened suddenly, and with the wisdom of King Runan, he didn't have time to come up with a perfect plan, so he hastily entrusted his son-in-law to his former valet, General Shenwei, and the matter leaked out. For some reason, today's After learning about it, I didn’t do anything, and it’s only now that I have the intention to kill again. This is exactly what I’m puzzled about..."

After understanding the key point, Jiao Er's expression changed: "So, is it because the Rong Mansion forced you to kill the eldest grandma, so as to ruin the uncle's life?"

Jia Jing said calmly: "How could I forget this point. Back then I was discouraged and avoided living here, not caring about worldly affairs. Now that I know that Qiang'er was born by Wei'er, I naturally want to make a plan for his better life. The child is as ignorant of evil as his father. Although Feng Ziying was implicated, he only thought it was a robbery. Hmph, Feng Ziying must have listened to his good foster father and wanted to use Qiang'er as a shield. I really don't know what to do! Teach him the way of life!"

"Planning?" Jiao Er, who knew Jia Jing's temperament well, his heart skipped a beat, as if he had seen Rong Mansion's upturned end.And——the master seems to have an overtone, what he wants to do is not limited to this?

When he was hesitant to ask, he saw Jia Jing sitting back on the futon, meditating and closing his eyes, calm as before.The ups and downs just now seem to have never happened: "It's late at night, you go to rest, and bring them to my room tomorrow morning."

"Yes." Although Jiao Er had all kinds of concerns, he had no choice but to leave first.

The Taoist temple spans the courtyard, a quiet room used to entertain distinguished guests on weekdays.

Jia Qiang tossed and rolled on the bamboo couch for a while, finally got off the bed lightly, bypassed Feng Ziying, put on her clothes and shoes and walked quietly outside the door.

The stars in winter are so dim that people can’t really see them clearly—just like the silhouettes of two people projected on the window lattice in Jia Jing’s room tens of feet away. Can't hear what they're saying at all.

Such a long distance, even if the five senses are superior, it is useless.And there are masters around in the dark, so they can't get close.

Jia Qiang was distressed: "System, can you hear their conversation?"

"The information has been collected, but the energy consumption was too much when calculating the escape route just now, and the current energy is insufficient, so it cannot be interpreted."

Hearing this, Jia Qiang's eyes lit up immediately: "When can I watch it?"

"As long as you go back to the house, you can interpret it with the collected energy."

"Great." Jia Qiang went back to the house contentedly.

As soon as his mind was gone, he quickly fell asleep.But he dreamed of many messy scenes. The most bizarre scene was that Feng Ziying was the illegitimate son of his father who died young.The romantic and affectionate young man and the lonely general's wife communicated with each other secretly, and this is even more legendary than the ones sung on the stage.

Waking up in the morning, Jia Qiang, who only remembered this scene, was in a mixed mood.Deliberately distanced herself from Feng Ziying, even avoiding breakfast.

Sensing his indifference, Feng Ziying frowned, and before she could speak, Jiao Er had come to invite them in person, saying that Jia Jing would let them go.Jia Qiang couldn't wait to make a sound, and left.

In the main room, Jia Jing, who was already smiling, smiled even deeper when he saw Jia Qiang throwing Feng Ziying a few feet away like hiding from a creditor.

After Jia Qiang entered the room to say hello, and Jia Jing asked him a few words about daily life and diet, Jia Jing stroked Jia Qiang's head with a loving expression on his face: "Yesterday you were so frightened, today grandpa will send you back. Let's see who else dares to scare you."

Understanding the unmistakable care in Jia Jing's eyes, Jia Qiang felt a little strange in her heart.Because of last night's weirdness, he couldn't immediately feel close to Jia Jing, so he lowered his head slightly, pretending to be panicked: "How can I disturb my grandfather Qingxiu because of my grandson's unworthiness."

"Grandfather never really became a monk, unlike those monks who have to do their homework every day, so why bother?"

Jia Jing never imagined that Jia Qiang's young body was filled with the soul of two lifetimes. He only felt that this grandson was very sensible, not as lawless as his father was when he was a child.It must be because no one loves and cares about him, so he developed such a trouble-free character, and it hurt him even more: "Stop talking, let's set off now."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Feng Ziying: "Nephew also go back together?"

"So, sorry for the trouble, thank you, Master Jia." Feng Ziying took a deep look at Jia Qiang, with confusion still in her eyes.

Jia Qiang just can't see.After the carriage was harnessed, he didn't even look at Feng Ziying, and directly helped Jia Jing to sit in the first carriage. Along the way, he first curiously asked about Taoism, and then secretly asked Jia Jing why he abandoned the noble.Jia Jing, who has been shrewd all his life, didn't notice the strangeness of his grandson, but liked this sensible and considerate grandson even more.

The grandparents and grandchildren returned to Ningfu happily.The gatekeeper hadn't seen the master's carriage for many years, and he thought that some low-level official came to handle some errands, and just opened his mouth to ask for a post, when Jiao Er jumped out of the carriage and shouted, "Your servant, who has no law, doesn't even recognize the master?"

"Master?"

Everyone never expected that Jia Jing, who had been away from home for several years and had never returned to Beijing, would come back suddenly, causing a lot of trouble.The gatekeeper, whose feet were higher than his head, quickly jumped off the stool and opened the gate himself.

Jia Jing supported Jia Qiang's hand, and just after he entered, he suddenly thought that when he passed the Rong Mansion in Qianjie just now, he saw a servant with a white scarf wrapped around his head. Do you want to send someone over there to trouble you?"

Most of the servants of Rongning and Ningfu are related to each other, so they are the most well-informed.Immediately someone replied: "Master, it is the aunt of the Lin family who is gone."
