The Return of Lord Qiang of the Red Mansion System

Mrs. Wang was sipping tea indoors, watching her confidants count the gifts Jia Zhu received when she went to the funeral.Ordinarily these things should go into the public house, but Mrs. Wang took advantage of the housekeeper to steal a lot of them by altering the gift list as before, and carried them into her small treasury.

Counting this batch of income, she couldn't help but think of Jia Qiang's side again, and asked Zhou Rui's family: "Has your son-in-law settled the matter?"

Zhou Rui's family put down the Pu'er tribute tea wrapped in gold leaf in their hands, and replied with a smile: "Madam, don't worry, I will get the things tomorrow at the latest. The servant has already ordered the son-in-law to push this matter to Nan'an County according to the wife's idea." On the head of the king. Even if Jia Qiang reported it to the old lady afterwards, the old lady would only scold him for being ignorant, and she would never dare to make a fuss about it."

Mrs. Wang nodded with satisfaction: "I went to trust my brother-in-law to inquire about the buyer. I got a reply yesterday, saying that he would go to Beijing with a friend. It happened that the man wanted to live in Beijing for a long time and was planning to buy such a house. Brother-in-law It is said that this person spends a lot of money, if this house is sold to him, he can get at least 3000 taels of silver."

Zhou Rui's family rejoiced and said: "In this way, I will have the money to send to the empress this time. At least my wife can take a break, and the money will not be as tight as before."

Speaking of the daughter in the palace, Mrs. Wang was proud but also upset: "When I sent her into the palace, I thought she would be rich and prosperous in no time. I didn't expect that after a few years, she only enjoyed a noble name, but it was nothing. It’s very beneficial. Instead, it taught me to fill in a lot of money for nothing.”

Seeing the master's displeasure, Zhou Rui's family hurriedly advised: "Ma'am, didn't the fortune teller tell you that the eldest girl must have a great future. What's the point of giving some money? Others fought over their heads and wanted to give it back. Woolen cloth!"

The master and servant were chattering endlessly, when they suddenly heard a strange commotion coming from the front yard, and hurriedly sent Jin Chuan'er to inquire.But after a while, he ran back numbly again, with an excited look on his face: "Madam, it's Brother Qiang, going to the old lady's room anxiously."

Hearing this, Mrs. Wang and the others thought that the trick had been accomplished, and they all looked happy.Zhou Rui's family said excitedly: "It must be done. This kid ran so fast that he got ahead of my son-in-law. Ma'am, my family will ask him for the deed. Just wait, and I will send it to you right away." !” After saying that, he hurried away.

Thinking of the tens of thousands of taels of snowflake silver that will be available soon, Mrs. Wang only felt her bones lighten a few taels.Also, since the Chinese New Year was about to come, I began to think about it: the dozen or so sets of good looks from the dowry in the past were all given to Yuanchun one after another, and now there are not many left.How to play two more sets with the convenience at hand, it is not in vain that I have worked so hard to plan this year.

With a firm mind, she immediately asked Jin Chuan'er to find a familiar craftsman.Unexpectedly, as soon as the front maid went out, Hu Po in front of the old lady came over on her back: "Greetings to the second wife, the old lady asked you to go."

Mrs. Wang was delighted with herself, she followed Hu Po to Rongxi Hall without thinking too much about it.Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the room, I called out to the old lady, and then I heard Jia's mother say sharply: "You did a good job!"

Mrs. Wang felt guilty after being yelled at, she cast a glance at Jia Qiang who was standing beside her with her head bowed, and said with a smile: "Why is the old lady so angry? My daughter-in-law has been busy with the New Year's affairs recently, I don't know what's wrong?"

"You still ask me why? Who colluded with the King of Nan'an, and ordered the companion to seize the belongings of the younger generation? Since you dare to do it, you should have the courage to admit it! How did the King of Nan'an gnaw at our family in the past? I’m afraid I’ve forgotten all about it! Once you have milk, you’re a mother, just pick up the tall branches and climb up, I’ve already called your master, and when he knows about it, let’s see if you can still fly up!”

What she thought to be a secret was suddenly revealed without warning, and Mrs. Wang's three souls were blasted away, her eyes stared straight in fright.After hearing it again, I couldn't help crying: "The old lady killed her daughter-in-law when she said this! Although the daughter-in-law is stupid, she also knows how to please the enemy of Nan'an County King? The old lady probably listened. Whose instigation wronged my daughter-in-law in a moment of anger."

Jia's mother sneered and said, "How dare I wrong you—the Nan'an King's finger is thicker than our Jia family's thigh. Since you are in love with his family, I dare not offend you. Qiang'er, repeat what I just said!"

Being pointed out by Jia Mu, Jia Qiang took a small step forward, without looking at Mrs. Wang, who was frightened and angry, and went on to tell what happened in the shop, and said: "Because those gangsters are chatting in the restaurant. I don't know, let's talk about the king of Nan'an first, and then bite the second wife. I was afraid that someone was deliberately trying to stir up trouble in our mansion, so I kept my mind on it and pretended to be angry and wanted to go back to the mansion to confront the second wife. I hid it quietly, and asked my shopkeeper to lead people to follow the gangsters. It turned out that they had indeed found Leng Zixing. The surname Leng whispered to them for a while, and then ran to the school of the royal school in the west of the city, and was arrested by me It's upright, and after a brief trial, it's all done, and now it's still kneeling outside the second door."

"Nonsense! Nonsense!!" Mrs. Wang trembled all over, half angry, half anxious.In her urgency, she didn't have the time to ponder why Jia Qiang's words were half true and half false, and she just defended herself with a swollen face: "I have nothing to do with Nan'an County King, and I have never had any contact in private! You little beast Hugh talking nonsense! This is because you bribed the killer surnamed Leng to sow discord! You have been talking nonsense for a long time, but is there any evidence?"

Jia Qiang sighed: "If there is no solid evidence, how dare I disturb the old lady? Besides, isn't Leng Zixing's confession evidence?"

When Mrs. Wang heard this, her heart suddenly became half gray.But still holding on to the hope of what might happen, he struggled to his death: "My natal family is so rich, and I am in charge of the huge Jia family, how could I have taken a fancy to your idea of ​​fly legs and grasshopper meat? Isn't it the one with a shop?" House, I have a lot of dowry! They are better than yours!"

Before she finished speaking, Mother Jia's eyes, which were a little shaken by Mrs. Wang's self-defense, became fierce again.Staring at this daughter-in-law who has been so uneasy these days, she almost wanted to greet her with a cane: "Second daughter-in-law, just now Qiang'er only said that the person was threatening to ask for the deed, but she didn't say which house it was. I The house that was newly given to Qiang’er was kept quiet for fear of people’s gossip. If it wasn’t for your good deeds, how would you know about it?”

Mrs. Wang never imagined that she would not make a fuss about this detail, her complexion changed a few times, and she babbled out a few words: "Daughter-in-law also heard about it by accident...Daughter-in-law..."

"I think you won't cry when you don't see the coffin!" Seeing her repeated denials, Jia's mother was disappointed, thinking that this daughter-in-law must have a deep collusion with the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion, so she didn't take herself seriously, which added a lot of trouble. Very disgusted: "You think I heard the wind is the rain? After Qiang'er told the whole story, I asked the people involved to interrogate me, so I called you here. If you are innocent, how can the maid who was driven away by me that day? Will it become the Tongfang of Nan'an County King's minions? If you don't know it, how could the pair of gold-plated filigree butterfly hairpins that I rewarded you back then fall into the hands of Tongfang? You are quite capable, even I You bribed all the old mothers around you! Behind my back, you secretly searched for beautiful maidservants, and sent them to my Jia family's enemies! My Jia family can't afford a daughter-in-law like you who eats everything else!"
