Wang Xifeng's Rebirth [Red Mansion]
Chapter 107
Plead guilty?
Following Wang Xifeng's words, the entire side hall fell into silence.Even the youngest Qiaojie looked at Wang Xifeng who was kneeling on the ground foolishly at this moment, not daring to say a word.As for the maids who were serving at the side, they all knelt down neatly.
Mother Jia took a deep look at Wang Xifeng, and said after a while, "Brother Feng, you should get up first, and speak slowly if you have something to say."
Wang Xifeng didn't dare to get up right now, Mother Jia saw her and simply called her name: "Second girl, fourth girl, help your sister-in-law up."
Yingchun and Xichun were originally sitting under Mrs. Xing's hands, with their heads bowed and silent.It was only when I got Jia Mu's words that I breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped forward quickly, supporting Wang Xifeng one by one.This time, Wang Xifeng couldn't resist, but her face was still full of guilt, and said in a low voice: "The grandson's daughter-in-law has won the trust of the ancestors, but she didn't manage the affairs of the family well. She really owes a lot of love."
As soon as these words came out, everyone changed their faces.
In fact, when Wang Xifeng left just now, everyone noticed it.But the problem was, Wang Xifeng left in a hurry, and they were all seated again, even if the maids waiting outside found out a little bit about it, they couldn't come in and tell them without leaving a trace.
"Brother Feng, you are still young, even if you don't do something thoughtfully, you can change it later." Jia Mu smiled, and then suddenly looked at Mrs. Xing, who was under her hand, "Daughter-in-law pardon, what do you say?" Right?"
Mrs. Xing was so lucky that she was not scared to death.
Speaking of which, Wang Xifeng is not alone in the butler.At the beginning, after Mother Jia took the position of Mrs. Wang as the head wife, she handed it over to Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Xing.Even if everyone knew that Mrs. Xing was just following along to join in the fun, if something happened, she would not be able to escape.
"Old lady, I..."
"If we go back to our ancestors, I'm the one who entrusted the elders, and only let the eldest wife take care of the East and West Courtyards. I'm in charge of all other matters in the house." Wang Xifeng spoke to save the day.
Jia Mu's eyes fell on Wang Xifeng's face again, but she just shook her head and sighed: "Go back and sit down first, and then speak slowly after sitting down, there is no rush."
Several people sat down one after another. Wang Xifeng ignored Qiaojie, who had been staring at her, and explained to Jia Mu with all her strength and fear: "Old ancestor, it's all my fault. If I had known about the troubles... By the way, look at what I said, but I forgot the most important person. That person is already waiting outside, old ancestor, you..."
"Who is it? Yuanyang, you go and bring it in, I'll take a look."
People were quickly brought in, Yu Chuan, Jin Chuan's younger sister, but among the people present, not many knew her.
Jia Mu glanced at Yu Chuan, smiled a little, and said clearly: "Okay, I will take it as a big deal. Yuanyang, you take her to the ear room first, and give her some refreshments." When I turn around, I'll have some free time, so I'll talk slowly." Turning to Wang Xifeng, he smiled and said, "How big of a deal is it worth your panic? Let's start the banquet quickly, this is the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."
Is this a way of fooling things?
Not to mention the bystanders present, even Wang Xifeng was a little dazed at the moment.Although Wang Xifeng never thought that Jia's mother would fall out with Mrs. Wang on the spot, she was taken away without even asking, but she never expected it.Or did Mother Jia have other plans?
No matter what, since Jiamu's words are in front, this Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet must continue.All kinds of delicacies came up soon, as well as several festive mooncakes, pastries, and liqueur made from fruits.It can be said that the table is rich, but unfortunately, no one has the appetite to eat and drink.
...Probably except Miss Qiao.Although she was taken aback just now, Miss Qiao quickly returned to normal. She should eat and drink, and even waved her little hand to ask the nanny to pack a plate of glutinous rice rolls. Give it to grandpa.
"Okay, Qiaojie is a good child. Yuanyang, then you go and take this plate of snacks to the front. Remember, you must mention that this is Qiaojie's filial piety." Jia's mother is probably besides Qiaojie , the most indifferent person.The difference is that Sister Qiao is real and heartless, while Mother Jia is fake and calm.The dim sum was finally delivered, and when Yuanyang came back, she handed Sister Qiao a giant mooncake that was bigger than her face.
Wang Xifeng wanted to cover her face and howl, and wanted to stop it, but it was definitely harder than going to heaven to take something from Sister Qiao.When she was helpless, Wang Xifeng heard Xichun whisper: "Brother Qiao, let's eat what is on the table first, hide this big pancake, and eat it slowly as a supper later." Yingchun also instigated: "Hide it. , and eat with the old man."
Come on, there are two unaffected ones here.
But compared to the few brats, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang's complexions are extremely ugly.A good Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet finally ended hastily after two quarters of an hour.
Jia Mu said: "It's getting late, let's go away. Wang Shi, you stay."
<<
Outside Rongqing Hall, Mrs. Xing held Wang Xifeng's hand, her complexion was pale: "Brother Feng, what happened? Is it important? Oh, I said that I shouldn't get involved in the housekeeper's affairs. How could I know?" Woolen cloth!"
"Eldest lady, you should take the two younger sisters home first. Uh, sister Qiao, too, she doesn't seem to want to go with me at all." Wang Xifeng glanced at sister Qiao, and saw that Mrs. Xing was really panicked , just sighed, "Eldest lady, you really don't need to worry. Even if something happens to the east courtyard, the old lady won't blame you. Over the years, can you see that the old lady has been in charge of the east courtyard?"
"What about the west courtyard? Is the third girl okay?"
"It's okay, it's really okay. Don't worry, Madam, if something really happens, can I still keep it from you?"
After a lot of coaxing, she finally fooled Mrs. Xing away, Wang Xifeng just felt very tired.Asked Feng Er to ask again, the man in the front hall was drinking happily, he thought it would take a while, and it would not end, so he simply took Feng Er and others and left the Rongqing Hall.Feng'er was still a little worried about Zijuan who was still in Rongxi Hall, but Wang Xifeng said that Zijuan would be back soon.Sure enough, Zijuan returned to the courtyard only a moment later than Wang Xifeng and others, and reported that someone else had taken over the Rongxi Hall.
Wang Xifeng silently looked at the high hanging full moon, and thought to herself, it was over on her side, but on the other side, it might just be the beginning.
Under the same night sky, the atmosphere before and after Rongqing Hall is completely different.Up front, the men had no idea what was going on behind them. Although Jia She and Jia Zheng had many conflicts on a daily basis, they still saved each other's face during the family banquet.As for Jia Lian and Baoyu, there was never much conflict in the first place. In addition, Jia Lan, who is a junior, is not as numerous as the latter, but the atmosphere is very lively.
Unfortunately, in the partition of the inner room where Jiamu lived, Jiamu sat on a high place, beside a mandarin duck who bent over to offer tea, and below were two people standing and kneeling.
Mrs. Wang is standing, and Yuchuan is kneeling.
"Ms. Wang, you go ahead," said Jia's mother.
The expression on Mrs. Wang's face was very intriguing. At first glance, she had a usual solemn expression, but the problem was that her expression was too serious, so serious that she completely lost her usual indifference.If you look closely, you can see the panic in her eyes, and even a trace of resentment.
After a while, Mrs. Wang also knelt down in front of Jia Mu, buried her head low, and said in an almost inaudible voice: "My daughter-in-law knows my mistake, and my daughter-in-law is willing to admit her mistake."
I know my mistakes, and I am willing to admit them, but I don't explain what the mistakes are.
Whether it is ignorance, or pretending to be ignorance, is unknown.
Mother Jia glanced lightly at Mrs. Wang, who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile, "Yuanyang, hurry up and help the wife up. I am not such a harsh mother-in-law. If I kneel for a long time, my legs will be ruined." Yes, but I can't afford it."
Mrs. Wang's complexion changed drastically, but she had to stand up with Yuanyang's support.But even when she stood up, Mrs. Wang still lowered her head, she almost buried her head in her chest, making it impossible to see the expression on her face.
But Jia Mu said again: "Tell me who you are first."
Yu Chuan shuddered all over, and felt an ominous premonition in his heart, faintly aware that he seemed to have come here by mistake, or was being used by someone.But now, it's not her who has the final say. Now that Mother Jia has asked, even if she doesn't want to, she will.
"Back to the old lady, to the wife, I am Yu Chuan, and I am Jin Chuan's sister." Yu Chuan pursed her lips. She is only ten years old now. She is the youngest daughter in the family, her parents dote on her sister and love her, and the whole family is from Mrs. Wang's house, so she was somewhat decent in the past, and her life was not difficult.But who would have thought, overnight, my sister suddenly threw herself into a well, and the master didn't have a clear statement, and their family's work was wiped out, even if they didn't starve to death for a while, but if it took a long time, I'm afraid that sooner or later they will tie their necks together.
Yu Chuan quickly raised his head and glanced at Jia Mu, but he didn't want to. His gaze happened to meet Jia Mu, and he shuddered suddenly. All the words he had prepared were blocked in his throat, and he couldn't say them for a long time. Just a whole sentence.
For a moment, the atmosphere froze on the spot.
It was the mandarin ducks who understood Jia Mu's meaning, took the initiative to step forward, walked up to Yu Chuan, and asked softly: "Sister Yu Chuan, right? Tell me first, what does the family do, and where were they in the past?" Errand."
"I was born in a family. My mother, my sister, and I used to work in the Rongxi Hall. When my mother got old, she asked her to leave the backyard. My father used to be the manager of the shop outside. Housekeeper Rui Zhou worked under his staff. But since last year, my sister Jin Chuan had an accident, and all the errands of our family have been wiped out. This year, we have only lived on our savings, and we have to look at other people cold-eyed gossip. I..."
"Tell me again, since you have been dismissed from your job, how could you come into the mansion again?"
Yu Chuan was agitated again, and instantly understood that the master might not want to listen to her complaints.Immediately, Yu Chuan took advantage of the situation to change the subject and said: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. My mother took care of Zhou Rui's family and sent me to the mansion. I wanted to say hello to my wife. I didn't expect that I just arrived at Rongxi Tang, and was stopped by Lian's Second Grandma."
To be precise, it was not Wang Xifeng's person, but because Wang Xifeng was the head grandma of Rongguo Mansion at this time.Although Yu Chuan used to work in Rong Xi Tang, since he has lost his name, there is no reason for him to come back.Of course, if the master summons it, it's another matter.But under the circumstances at that time, it was obviously not the person summoned by Mrs. Wang.That being the case, it was perfectly normal for the people below to report the abnormal situation to Wang Xifeng instead.
Naturally, Yu Chuan misunderstood, but Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang did not misunderstand.In fact, since Jia Lan's disfigurement last year, most places in Rongxi Hall have been replaced by members of Jia Mu's family.It's just that Jia's mother really doesn't like to take care of those trivial matters, but she is confident that Wang Xifeng will never dare to hide her.
"Keep asking." Mother Jia closed her eyes wearily.
Yuanyang nodded to Jiamu, and then said to Yuchuan: "Since it took all this effort to enter the mansion, what are you doing for it? You can't just do it to greet the former master?"
Although what Yu Chuan just said was that her mother begged Zhou Rui's family to help her into the mansion, but she also knew that if there were no full benefits, why would Zhou Rui's family find a way for her?This is not when Grandma Liu entered the mansion. After all, Grandma Liu is a relative of Mrs. Wang, no matter how far the relationship is, the master's relatives and servants born in the family are completely different.
When Yuchuan enters the mansion, he will definitely ask for something.
"I, I want to ask my wife to give me an errand for the sake of my past relationship." Yu Chuan became more and more afraid as she spoke, but she couldn't help answering Yuanyang's words.Just as she was talking, she couldn't help but burst into tears, knowing in her heart that she might not be able to get what she wanted this time, and she might offend Mrs. Wang.Now, the family is truly at a dead end.
"It's just like that?" Yuanyang looked straight at Yu Chuan, seeing that Yu Chuan was terribly frightened, she couldn't help but feel soft at the moment, and sighed, "Don't be afraid, I'm not that man-eating tiger. You can't do it? Back then, I also grew up with Jin Chuan, so I have some kind of friendship. You are Jin Chuan's younger sister, so I can't bully you no matter what. "
"Sister..." Yu Chuan couldn't help crying at last, and remembering what her parents told her before she came, she hastily swallowed back her crying.After a while, he said tremblingly, "I said, I said everything."
After all, Yuchuan was young and had little experience. Since last year, she has been a little frightened.Before entering the mansion today, he was instructed by his parents thousands of times, but when he arrived at the Rongxi Hall, he was stopped by someone, and then Wang Xifeng personally took him to the Rongqing Hall.Now, she was taken directly to Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang, and her heart was already in a mess.Yuanyang's words completely defeated her last line of psychological defense.
According to Yu Chuan, her elder sister, Jin Chuan, is an excellent person, filial to her parents, friendly to her younger sister, and even more loyal to her master.Therefore, after hearing the news of Jin Chuan's death, Yu Chuan's family was not worried about Jin Chuan, but for fear that something would happen to Mrs. Wang. After all, Jin Chuan was the first-class maidservant in front of Mrs. Wang.But later, the matter gradually cooled down, and no one came to explain the cause and effect to them. Even Jin Chuan's death became a taboo topic in the Rongguo Mansion. Only then did their family realize the abnormality.But after that, all the errands of the family were wiped out. Yu Chuan said frankly that the whole family never hated the master, but only hoped to be favored by the master again day and night, but a year later, they seemed to be completely forgotten generally.
Neither Jia Mu nor Mrs. Wang took these words to heart, but Yu Chuan's next words made them all change their faces.
"...Outsiders only know that my sister threw herself into the well suddenly, but they don't know that my sister said something to me before she threw herself into the well." An unremarkable second-class maid, although the two lived together in Rongxi Hall, they rarely saw each other.But no matter how few times they met, if Jin Chuan wanted to, he could still find Yu Chuan and say a few words.
"What did Jin Chuan say?" After a long time, Jia Mu finally opened her eyes slowly and asked Yu Chuan.
Yu Chuan kowtowed heavily to Mother Jia several times, and then said: "My sister said that the reason why Lan Ge'er had an accident must be a traitor among the other four maids. She also said that she had already guessed it, but unfortunately it has not been confirmed yet." My sister also told me to find a way to sue the fake house first, and then enter the mansion after this end has settled down.” Unfortunately, Jin Chuan threw herself into the well as soon as she left. "My sister must not have committed suicide by throwing herself into a well. She couldn't have done that! It must be that person who killed Brother Lang first and then my sister. That person is one of Caiyun, Caixia, Xiuluan, and Xiufeng!"
Caiyun, Caixia, Xiuluan, and Xiufeng were originally the maidservants beside Mrs. Wang, second only to Jin Chuan'er, but their status was higher than Yu Chuan's.
The house fell into silence again, but Yu Chuan didn't know that as early as last year, when Mrs. Wang fell ill, Jia's mother cleaned the Rongxi Hall as quickly as possible.After that time, all the maids and wives in Rongxi Hall changed places, most of them were moved to some inconspicuous places, and a small number of them, such as the four maids, just disappeared.Wang Xifeng was once suspicious, but soon quit. She even planned to make decisions for Daiyu at the beginning, but instead quietly sent some things to appease her.
No one wants to fight against Mother Jia, and so does Mrs. Wang.
Yuchuan waited and waited, but even the kindest mandarin duck in her eyes did not say a word at this time.How else?Said that the four maids have long since disappeared?Or to put it simply, did Jia Mu kill everyone who might harm Jia Lan in a fit of anger after many days of unsuccessful inquiries?
"Old lady, I..." Suddenly, Yu Chuan seemed to think of something, and looked back and forth between Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang's faces in disbelief.After a while, Yu Chuan collapsed on the ground in a decadent state, and said in a voice almost choked up, "I have one more thing to say."
After all, Yuanyang couldn't bear it, and looked at Jia Mu, and saw that although Jia Mu was silent, there was no expression of anger on her face, so she said softly to Yu Chuan: "Sister Yu Chuan, what else do you have to say?" What? Even if you say something wrong, the old lady will not blame you. "
"Okay, let me say. The little aunt Zhou in the second master's room is the tourmaline in the old master Zhu's room!"
As soon as these words came out, even Jia's mother, who had always been calm, couldn't help but change her face.Besides, she had met that little Aunt Zhou, so she thought about it quickly, and compared it with the pretty big maid in her memory, her complexion became even uglier.
At this time, Mrs. Wang seemed to come back to life. She subconsciously took a few steps back to stabilize her figure, and asked in disbelief: "Tourmaline? You said that you were in the old lady's room, The tourmaline assigned to serve in Pearl's room?"
Jia Zhu has a wife and a son, namely Li Wan and Jia Lan; there are three aunts, one is from Jia's mother's house, the other is the daughter of Jia Zheng's family, and the third is a gift from Mrs. Wang; Tongfang, but it only occupies the name of Tongfang, and has no real relationship.
The tourmaline that Yuchuan just mentioned was one of Jia Mu's former eight maids.
It's also quite interesting to say.Jia Mu's maids always use those names, mandarin duck, parrot, amber, pearl, jadeite, glass, tourmaline, agate. If someone leaves, someone will fill it up soon.It's really a man of flowing water, with a name of iron.The reason here is naturally that Mother Jia is too lazy to remember the maid's name, so she just calls it like this.Now, I'm afraid even Jia's mother can't remember how many people have changed in front of her.
And Tourmaline was also one of the Eight Great Maids.But it is different from others, like Xiren was originally called Pearl, but after Baoyu was given to him, he changed his name to Xiren.There is also Brother Parrot, who was renamed Zicuckoo after being begged by Wang Xifeng.No matter how you say it, if you change people, you will definitely change your name.But Jia Zhu is a special case. After she became an aunt, she was called by her surname, and it didn't matter if she changed her name or not. Therefore, Tourmaline was still called by her original name by those close to her.
Bixi's maiden name is Zhou, and she is a direct sister to Aunt Zhou who is now in Jia Zheng's house.This is true.
"Nonsense! Why didn't I know about this? Mrs. Wang, tell me." Mother Jia glared at Mrs. Wang, as if all the mistakes were her fault.Of course, Mrs. Wang has no other choice but to recognize her by pinching her nose.
"Returning to the old lady, the daughter-in-law doesn't know about it. And... Aunt Zhou was given by the old lady. It is said that she is very safe in life, and the master always takes it very seriously."
"You mean, it's all my fault?" Mother Jia said coldly.
Mrs. Wang's heart and eyes are full of pain and aggrieved. In her heart, why doesn't she think so?Last year, Mother Jia suddenly gave maids to all the adult men in the family.Wang Xifeng personally came to ask for Jia Lian's end, and Jia Amnesty accepted the other end without saying a word, but when they arrived at their second room, something happened.First, Baoyu inexplicably fell in love with the maid named Xiaoman who was given to her earlier, and wanted to beg for it with all her heart, but in the end she got beaten up.Who would have thought that the maid named Xiaoman would eventually belong to Baoyu, but Jia Amnesty took the initiative to hand over the maid he got to Jia Zheng...
and many more!
"Old lady, listen to me. There may be other reasons for this!" If possible, Mrs. Wang is not willing to take this matter off at all, and besides, this matter was not her fault in the first place .At least, she never begged Jia Mu for a maid like Wang Xifeng. The little Aunt Zhou and the two house maids were all forced by Jia Mu.As for what Jia Mu's idea was, Mrs. Wang knew it well.
Therefore, she should not be responsible for this crime.
"Tell me, what's the reason here?" Mother Jia sneered.
"Old lady, do you ever remember that what you originally gave to the master was supposed to be another servant girl, but later Bao... was rewarded by the master to Baoyu." Mrs. Wang was about to say that Baoyu had snatched it away, and she almost blurted out, She wished she could slap herself.This son snatched Lao Tzu's housemaid, let alone spread it, even if he only leaked his words in front of Jia Mu, she couldn't bear it anymore and walked away.In a panic, Mrs. Wang said, "The little aunt Zhou in the master's room was sent by the master. By the way, I remember that she still has some relatives with everyone Lai."
Lai Da!
Jia Mu's complexion became more and more ugly. According to this statement, Jia Zhu's Tongfang Tourmaline was originally Jia Mu's maid.Now Aunt Zhou in Jia Zheng's room was given by Jia's mother and passed through Jia's amnesty.
All these things, one by one, are all related to Jia Mupan.Can it be said that even Jia Lan was killed by Jia Mu? !
Yuanyang was the first person to notice that Jia Mu was different, so she hurriedly left the jade bracelet and ran to Jia Mu in two steps at a time, just in time to support Jia Mu who fell down.
Come on, don't say anything!
"Old lady! Are you alright, old lady? Wake up quickly, old lady! If someone is coming, go to the front hall and call the first and second masters. Also, send someone to invite the doctor immediately, and call Lian Er Grandma is calling. Go!"
The Rongqing Hall was in chaos for a moment, but fortunately because of the mandarin ducks there, although it looked chaotic, it was actually orderly.
The first ones to rush over were of course Jia She, Jia Zheng and others who were still drinking in the front hall.
After all, Yuanyang was just a maidservant, although she believed that Mrs. Wang and Yu Chuan had nothing to do with Jia Mu's fainting, but no one dared to question if Yu Chuan died.The question is, isn't there another Mrs. Wang's mother?Therefore, after Jia She, Jia Zheng and others arrived, Yuanyang gritted his teeth and said to Jia She: "Returning to the old man, the old lady was arguing with... the second wife. I dare not question others, but I hope the old lady wakes up earlier and makes her own decision."
The implication is that although I know who the culprit is, I am unable to testify, so I have to wait for Mother Jia to wake up and let Mother Jia teach the culprit herself.
Jia Amnesty's eyes fell straight on Mrs. Wang's face with a "whoosh".
Ordinarily, the elder brother must avoid the younger brother and the daughter-in-law, especially when the age gap between the two is not too big.But although Jia She is famous, the problem is that his eyes reveal a serious killing intent at this moment, even the most pedantic moralist can never accuse Jia She of misbehavior.
Naturally, neither could Jia Zheng.
"You bastard, what did you do to your mother?!" Jia Zheng was even more angry than Jia She, at least, Jia She was just stalking coldly, but Jia Zheng strode forward and raised his hand A slap directly on Mrs. Wang's face.The clear and crisp applause echoed in the room, not only Mrs. Wang couldn't believe it, but also Jia Lian and others who came in a step behind were also dumbfounded.
But he heard Jia Zheng sternly said: "Go and kneel outside for me immediately. You are not allowed to get up for a day until my mother wakes up. Also, you are not allowed to eat or drink for her, and you are not allowed to sleep!"
Mrs. Wang stared at Jia Zheng with red eyes, the hatred in her heart was almost gushing out.But until the end, she just walked outside and knelt down as promised.
When Jia She saw this, he didn't say anything, he just looked at the jade bracelet kneeling in front of him, and asked: "Who is this? But he is also angry with mother?"
Yuanyang hurriedly said: "This is the second wife and Jin Chuan's younger sister. It was the old lady who came to ask questions. As for... Let's talk about it when the old lady wakes up. She is a family with children."
"Then go out and kneel, and I'll be with your wife." Jia She said coolly.
Yu Chuan didn't dare to argue for herself, so she walked outside obediently and knelt down beside Mrs. Wang half a step behind.After a while, Wang Xifeng arrived in a hurry. Hearing that the housekeeper had asked the doctor to call, his complexion slightly improved.At that moment, he ordered someone to take peppermint oil and spread it on Jia's mother. After a while, Jia's mother woke up faintly.
"Where's Mrs. Wang? Where's the damn Mrs. Wang?!" Mother Jia yelled angrily as soon as she woke up, before she fully opened her eyes.
Wang Xifeng had already walked up to Mother Jia to wait on her. Hearing this, she hurriedly said, "Old Ancestor, what's the matter with you? At least calm down first, because of those trivial matters, you've actually ruined your own body. If it's true Why don't you talk to me about things that are bothering you, and I'll ask Second Master Lian to vent your anger later on!"
"Brother Feng..." Mother Jia slowed down her tone a little, and then said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, so don't say good things for Mrs. Wang."
"Okay, I don't say good things. After all, why should I say good things? Even if I want to say good things, it is to say to the ancestors. You, the ancestors, love the younger generation very much. Just now when my Qiao girl left , and still looked reluctant, if I hadn't greeted her a few times, she would still be arguing to stay. Old ancestor, do you think you are extraordinarily pleasing to the younger generation?" Wang Xifeng smiled beautifully , directly changed the topic, did not mention the matter of talent at all, let alone mention Mrs. Wang and Yu Chuan who were still kneeling outside when she came in just now.
You can teach Mrs. Wang any time, and you won't let Jia's mother collapse for a moment of pleasure.If this is the case, how can she continue singing in the next scene?
"You are a good person, but Mrs. Wang..." It's not that Mother Jia is obsessed with Mrs. Wang, but that at this moment, she has seen clearly the people around her.
The sons Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng were there, as were the grandsons Jia Lian and Baoyu, as well as the great-grandson Jia Lan and Wang Xifeng.Mrs. Xing, Yingchun, and Xichun from the big house never came over, but those three were just decorations. Mother Jia didn't care at all, and she knew it well, and it was impossible for Yuanyang to send someone to call them.As for Li Wan, her leg injury has not yet healed, and even the previous Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, she just came to greet her in advance, and then went back to her room to rest, I am afraid that no one will remember them.
And Mrs. Wang...
"Zheng'er, Zheng'er, come here." Mother Jia called Jia Zheng repeatedly, and Wang Xifeng hurriedly stepped aside, giving Jia Zheng the seat in front of Mother Jia.Seeing this, the people around didn't react much, except Jia She curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
Unexpectedly, after Jia's mother took Jia Zheng's hand, she was not in a hurry to express her maternal love, but cried to Jia Zheng in tears: "Zheng'er, your daughter-in-law is really deceiving! You know what she said What? She said, Zhu'er was killed by me, and Lan'er's disfigurement was also caused by me. She also said that I would kill you too, and put people with ulterior motives in your room...Zheng'er, I feel so sorry for my mother! Bitter!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Jia Zheng, but everyone present, including Yuanyang, were dumbfounded.
However, these other people did not know the situation just now, but Yuanyang was an insider.But so what?As the most embarrassing maid in front of Jiamu, Yuanyang is the least likely to betray Jiamu.Even if Mother Jia pointed at the moon and insisted that it was the sun, she would smile and say, old lady, what you said is true.No matter how much suspicion there is in her heart, Yuanyang will only choose to follow Jiamu's words in the end.Or there is no need for her to speak at all, she just needs to look at Jiamu with a sad face, as if empathizing with her.
Leaving aside the mandarin ducks, the others in the room were really frightened.
But Jia Mu's words were not finished: "Zheng'er, tell me, which one do you believe in? My Zheng'er, if you believe in that Wang family, I will have no point in living. You ask your elder brother to send me back to Jinling , I can't stay in this house anymore. Go back to Jinling... go back!"
"Mother!" Jia Zheng cried out in pain, knelt down on his knees, and slammed his forehead on the edge of Jia's mother's bed, "Mother, what you said is ruining my son, ruining my son! How can my son not believe you? Mother , what you say is what you say, my son listens to you!"
Seeing this, Jia Amnesty didn't want to say anything, so he took a step forward and knelt down next to Jia Zheng: "Mother, my son is not filial, and let my mother suffer so much in the mansion. Mother, tell me, apart from Wang's Besides, has Mrs. Xing ever done anything against you? If so, I'll go and divorce her when I turn around!"
Wang Xifeng turned his face silently, these words are so thought-provoking.Before she could think any more, someone pulled her arm, and when she looked up, it was Jia Lian.But seeing Jia Lian also knelt behind Jia She, Wang Xifeng had no choice but to kneel next to him.As a result, Baoyu and Jialan were not spared either.
For a moment, the room fell to its knees.
Mother Jia's crying had stopped, but the brothers Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng showed their filial piety like a competition.Especially Jia She, who spoke so full of words, as if if Mrs. Xing showed any disrespect to Jia Mu, he would immediately kick her out of the house.Of course, maybe this is not a big talk. Jia Amnesty has no feelings for Mrs. Xing at all, and he is a person who does not care about face at all. If Jia's mother and Mrs. Xing meet, even if he kills Mrs. Xing, it will be extremely serious. possible.
As for Jia Zheng, since Jia's mother was accusing Mrs. Wang all the time, it was much more difficult for him to speak.It is necessary to express filial piety, but can't really make a real guarantee, after all, he never thought of divorcing his wife.But Jia Amnesty was still messing around, Jia Zheng was so angry that his face was flushed, and he had to grit his teeth to swallow his anger.
Wang Xifeng looked at this scene with cold eyes, and thought, it's a good thing Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang are not in the house at the moment, otherwise they would all be pissed off after hearing what these two people said.At that moment, Wang Xifeng squinted at Jia Lian, Jia Lian shuddered suddenly, and immediately smiled at Wang Xifeng in a flattering manner, which looked very much like sister Qiao's guilty conscience after doing something bad.
...Go back and deal with you!
……I did not do anything!
The couple unilaterally pinched each other with their eyes, but immediately became spectators patiently.Don't look at the usual days, no matter inside or outside the mansion, it is Jia Zheng who suppresses Jia Amnesty, but who made Jia Zheng have such a slow-moving daughter-in-law?By the way, there is an even more cheating son.Just because of these two, how much did Jia Zheng suffer?Apart from other things, Jia Zheng will definitely shed a layer of skin just because of this matter.
No one would have thought that when the house was in a mess, Zijuan hurried over, holding the door frame eagerly and looking at Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng's heart tightened, instinctively knowing that something must have happened again.Then he thought again, before he came, he had already made arrangements for Brother Rong, while Sister Qiao went to the East Courtyard, no one must have informed the East Courtyard, and took another look at Jia Lian, who was only half a step away from him.Well, the closest relatives are fine, and the others are not so important.At that moment, Wang Xifeng moved back a little bit, and while everyone's eyes were on Jiamu, she quietly waved to Zijuan.
Zijuan hurriedly shrank and rubbed against Wang Xifeng, leaned down and said to Wang Xifeng: "Grandma, something happened to Rongxi Hall again..."
After a few breaths, Wang Xifeng pushed away Jia Lian who was standing in front of her, and pushed Jia Lian staggeringly, almost falling to the ground.Before Jia Lian could open her mouth to question, Wang Xifeng hurriedly said, "Old lady! There's news from the Rongxi Hall that Aunt Zhou just lost her child."
Every heir of Rongguo Mansion is precious, even if it is just a concubine.Regardless of the cause of this incident, at least the current Rongguo Mansion is still managed by Wang Xifeng.Focusing on this alone, Wang Xifeng will be in trouble.Therefore, she can't hide this matter, and she doesn't dare to hide it, especially at this crucial stall.
The author has something to say:
The goddess fooled me into locking [-] today, although I agreed, but quietly changed it to [-].Thumbs up for the stupid author's wit, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come out today.
︿( ̄︶ ̄)︿
Following Wang Xifeng's words, the entire side hall fell into silence.Even the youngest Qiaojie looked at Wang Xifeng who was kneeling on the ground foolishly at this moment, not daring to say a word.As for the maids who were serving at the side, they all knelt down neatly.
Mother Jia took a deep look at Wang Xifeng, and said after a while, "Brother Feng, you should get up first, and speak slowly if you have something to say."
Wang Xifeng didn't dare to get up right now, Mother Jia saw her and simply called her name: "Second girl, fourth girl, help your sister-in-law up."
Yingchun and Xichun were originally sitting under Mrs. Xing's hands, with their heads bowed and silent.It was only when I got Jia Mu's words that I breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped forward quickly, supporting Wang Xifeng one by one.This time, Wang Xifeng couldn't resist, but her face was still full of guilt, and said in a low voice: "The grandson's daughter-in-law has won the trust of the ancestors, but she didn't manage the affairs of the family well. She really owes a lot of love."
As soon as these words came out, everyone changed their faces.
In fact, when Wang Xifeng left just now, everyone noticed it.But the problem was, Wang Xifeng left in a hurry, and they were all seated again, even if the maids waiting outside found out a little bit about it, they couldn't come in and tell them without leaving a trace.
"Brother Feng, you are still young, even if you don't do something thoughtfully, you can change it later." Jia Mu smiled, and then suddenly looked at Mrs. Xing, who was under her hand, "Daughter-in-law pardon, what do you say?" Right?"
Mrs. Xing was so lucky that she was not scared to death.
Speaking of which, Wang Xifeng is not alone in the butler.At the beginning, after Mother Jia took the position of Mrs. Wang as the head wife, she handed it over to Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Xing.Even if everyone knew that Mrs. Xing was just following along to join in the fun, if something happened, she would not be able to escape.
"Old lady, I..."
"If we go back to our ancestors, I'm the one who entrusted the elders, and only let the eldest wife take care of the East and West Courtyards. I'm in charge of all other matters in the house." Wang Xifeng spoke to save the day.
Jia Mu's eyes fell on Wang Xifeng's face again, but she just shook her head and sighed: "Go back and sit down first, and then speak slowly after sitting down, there is no rush."
Several people sat down one after another. Wang Xifeng ignored Qiaojie, who had been staring at her, and explained to Jia Mu with all her strength and fear: "Old ancestor, it's all my fault. If I had known about the troubles... By the way, look at what I said, but I forgot the most important person. That person is already waiting outside, old ancestor, you..."
"Who is it? Yuanyang, you go and bring it in, I'll take a look."
People were quickly brought in, Yu Chuan, Jin Chuan's younger sister, but among the people present, not many knew her.
Jia Mu glanced at Yu Chuan, smiled a little, and said clearly: "Okay, I will take it as a big deal. Yuanyang, you take her to the ear room first, and give her some refreshments." When I turn around, I'll have some free time, so I'll talk slowly." Turning to Wang Xifeng, he smiled and said, "How big of a deal is it worth your panic? Let's start the banquet quickly, this is the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."
Is this a way of fooling things?
Not to mention the bystanders present, even Wang Xifeng was a little dazed at the moment.Although Wang Xifeng never thought that Jia's mother would fall out with Mrs. Wang on the spot, she was taken away without even asking, but she never expected it.Or did Mother Jia have other plans?
No matter what, since Jiamu's words are in front, this Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet must continue.All kinds of delicacies came up soon, as well as several festive mooncakes, pastries, and liqueur made from fruits.It can be said that the table is rich, but unfortunately, no one has the appetite to eat and drink.
...Probably except Miss Qiao.Although she was taken aback just now, Miss Qiao quickly returned to normal. She should eat and drink, and even waved her little hand to ask the nanny to pack a plate of glutinous rice rolls. Give it to grandpa.
"Okay, Qiaojie is a good child. Yuanyang, then you go and take this plate of snacks to the front. Remember, you must mention that this is Qiaojie's filial piety." Jia's mother is probably besides Qiaojie , the most indifferent person.The difference is that Sister Qiao is real and heartless, while Mother Jia is fake and calm.The dim sum was finally delivered, and when Yuanyang came back, she handed Sister Qiao a giant mooncake that was bigger than her face.
Wang Xifeng wanted to cover her face and howl, and wanted to stop it, but it was definitely harder than going to heaven to take something from Sister Qiao.When she was helpless, Wang Xifeng heard Xichun whisper: "Brother Qiao, let's eat what is on the table first, hide this big pancake, and eat it slowly as a supper later." Yingchun also instigated: "Hide it. , and eat with the old man."
Come on, there are two unaffected ones here.
But compared to the few brats, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang's complexions are extremely ugly.A good Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet finally ended hastily after two quarters of an hour.
Jia Mu said: "It's getting late, let's go away. Wang Shi, you stay."
<<
Outside Rongqing Hall, Mrs. Xing held Wang Xifeng's hand, her complexion was pale: "Brother Feng, what happened? Is it important? Oh, I said that I shouldn't get involved in the housekeeper's affairs. How could I know?" Woolen cloth!"
"Eldest lady, you should take the two younger sisters home first. Uh, sister Qiao, too, she doesn't seem to want to go with me at all." Wang Xifeng glanced at sister Qiao, and saw that Mrs. Xing was really panicked , just sighed, "Eldest lady, you really don't need to worry. Even if something happens to the east courtyard, the old lady won't blame you. Over the years, can you see that the old lady has been in charge of the east courtyard?"
"What about the west courtyard? Is the third girl okay?"
"It's okay, it's really okay. Don't worry, Madam, if something really happens, can I still keep it from you?"
After a lot of coaxing, she finally fooled Mrs. Xing away, Wang Xifeng just felt very tired.Asked Feng Er to ask again, the man in the front hall was drinking happily, he thought it would take a while, and it would not end, so he simply took Feng Er and others and left the Rongqing Hall.Feng'er was still a little worried about Zijuan who was still in Rongxi Hall, but Wang Xifeng said that Zijuan would be back soon.Sure enough, Zijuan returned to the courtyard only a moment later than Wang Xifeng and others, and reported that someone else had taken over the Rongxi Hall.
Wang Xifeng silently looked at the high hanging full moon, and thought to herself, it was over on her side, but on the other side, it might just be the beginning.
Under the same night sky, the atmosphere before and after Rongqing Hall is completely different.Up front, the men had no idea what was going on behind them. Although Jia She and Jia Zheng had many conflicts on a daily basis, they still saved each other's face during the family banquet.As for Jia Lian and Baoyu, there was never much conflict in the first place. In addition, Jia Lan, who is a junior, is not as numerous as the latter, but the atmosphere is very lively.
Unfortunately, in the partition of the inner room where Jiamu lived, Jiamu sat on a high place, beside a mandarin duck who bent over to offer tea, and below were two people standing and kneeling.
Mrs. Wang is standing, and Yuchuan is kneeling.
"Ms. Wang, you go ahead," said Jia's mother.
The expression on Mrs. Wang's face was very intriguing. At first glance, she had a usual solemn expression, but the problem was that her expression was too serious, so serious that she completely lost her usual indifference.If you look closely, you can see the panic in her eyes, and even a trace of resentment.
After a while, Mrs. Wang also knelt down in front of Jia Mu, buried her head low, and said in an almost inaudible voice: "My daughter-in-law knows my mistake, and my daughter-in-law is willing to admit her mistake."
I know my mistakes, and I am willing to admit them, but I don't explain what the mistakes are.
Whether it is ignorance, or pretending to be ignorance, is unknown.
Mother Jia glanced lightly at Mrs. Wang, who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile, "Yuanyang, hurry up and help the wife up. I am not such a harsh mother-in-law. If I kneel for a long time, my legs will be ruined." Yes, but I can't afford it."
Mrs. Wang's complexion changed drastically, but she had to stand up with Yuanyang's support.But even when she stood up, Mrs. Wang still lowered her head, she almost buried her head in her chest, making it impossible to see the expression on her face.
But Jia Mu said again: "Tell me who you are first."
Yu Chuan shuddered all over, and felt an ominous premonition in his heart, faintly aware that he seemed to have come here by mistake, or was being used by someone.But now, it's not her who has the final say. Now that Mother Jia has asked, even if she doesn't want to, she will.
"Back to the old lady, to the wife, I am Yu Chuan, and I am Jin Chuan's sister." Yu Chuan pursed her lips. She is only ten years old now. She is the youngest daughter in the family, her parents dote on her sister and love her, and the whole family is from Mrs. Wang's house, so she was somewhat decent in the past, and her life was not difficult.But who would have thought, overnight, my sister suddenly threw herself into a well, and the master didn't have a clear statement, and their family's work was wiped out, even if they didn't starve to death for a while, but if it took a long time, I'm afraid that sooner or later they will tie their necks together.
Yu Chuan quickly raised his head and glanced at Jia Mu, but he didn't want to. His gaze happened to meet Jia Mu, and he shuddered suddenly. All the words he had prepared were blocked in his throat, and he couldn't say them for a long time. Just a whole sentence.
For a moment, the atmosphere froze on the spot.
It was the mandarin ducks who understood Jia Mu's meaning, took the initiative to step forward, walked up to Yu Chuan, and asked softly: "Sister Yu Chuan, right? Tell me first, what does the family do, and where were they in the past?" Errand."
"I was born in a family. My mother, my sister, and I used to work in the Rongxi Hall. When my mother got old, she asked her to leave the backyard. My father used to be the manager of the shop outside. Housekeeper Rui Zhou worked under his staff. But since last year, my sister Jin Chuan had an accident, and all the errands of our family have been wiped out. This year, we have only lived on our savings, and we have to look at other people cold-eyed gossip. I..."
"Tell me again, since you have been dismissed from your job, how could you come into the mansion again?"
Yu Chuan was agitated again, and instantly understood that the master might not want to listen to her complaints.Immediately, Yu Chuan took advantage of the situation to change the subject and said: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. My mother took care of Zhou Rui's family and sent me to the mansion. I wanted to say hello to my wife. I didn't expect that I just arrived at Rongxi Tang, and was stopped by Lian's Second Grandma."
To be precise, it was not Wang Xifeng's person, but because Wang Xifeng was the head grandma of Rongguo Mansion at this time.Although Yu Chuan used to work in Rong Xi Tang, since he has lost his name, there is no reason for him to come back.Of course, if the master summons it, it's another matter.But under the circumstances at that time, it was obviously not the person summoned by Mrs. Wang.That being the case, it was perfectly normal for the people below to report the abnormal situation to Wang Xifeng instead.
Naturally, Yu Chuan misunderstood, but Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang did not misunderstand.In fact, since Jia Lan's disfigurement last year, most places in Rongxi Hall have been replaced by members of Jia Mu's family.It's just that Jia's mother really doesn't like to take care of those trivial matters, but she is confident that Wang Xifeng will never dare to hide her.
"Keep asking." Mother Jia closed her eyes wearily.
Yuanyang nodded to Jiamu, and then said to Yuchuan: "Since it took all this effort to enter the mansion, what are you doing for it? You can't just do it to greet the former master?"
Although what Yu Chuan just said was that her mother begged Zhou Rui's family to help her into the mansion, but she also knew that if there were no full benefits, why would Zhou Rui's family find a way for her?This is not when Grandma Liu entered the mansion. After all, Grandma Liu is a relative of Mrs. Wang, no matter how far the relationship is, the master's relatives and servants born in the family are completely different.
When Yuchuan enters the mansion, he will definitely ask for something.
"I, I want to ask my wife to give me an errand for the sake of my past relationship." Yu Chuan became more and more afraid as she spoke, but she couldn't help answering Yuanyang's words.Just as she was talking, she couldn't help but burst into tears, knowing in her heart that she might not be able to get what she wanted this time, and she might offend Mrs. Wang.Now, the family is truly at a dead end.
"It's just like that?" Yuanyang looked straight at Yu Chuan, seeing that Yu Chuan was terribly frightened, she couldn't help but feel soft at the moment, and sighed, "Don't be afraid, I'm not that man-eating tiger. You can't do it? Back then, I also grew up with Jin Chuan, so I have some kind of friendship. You are Jin Chuan's younger sister, so I can't bully you no matter what. "
"Sister..." Yu Chuan couldn't help crying at last, and remembering what her parents told her before she came, she hastily swallowed back her crying.After a while, he said tremblingly, "I said, I said everything."
After all, Yuchuan was young and had little experience. Since last year, she has been a little frightened.Before entering the mansion today, he was instructed by his parents thousands of times, but when he arrived at the Rongxi Hall, he was stopped by someone, and then Wang Xifeng personally took him to the Rongqing Hall.Now, she was taken directly to Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang, and her heart was already in a mess.Yuanyang's words completely defeated her last line of psychological defense.
According to Yu Chuan, her elder sister, Jin Chuan, is an excellent person, filial to her parents, friendly to her younger sister, and even more loyal to her master.Therefore, after hearing the news of Jin Chuan's death, Yu Chuan's family was not worried about Jin Chuan, but for fear that something would happen to Mrs. Wang. After all, Jin Chuan was the first-class maidservant in front of Mrs. Wang.But later, the matter gradually cooled down, and no one came to explain the cause and effect to them. Even Jin Chuan's death became a taboo topic in the Rongguo Mansion. Only then did their family realize the abnormality.But after that, all the errands of the family were wiped out. Yu Chuan said frankly that the whole family never hated the master, but only hoped to be favored by the master again day and night, but a year later, they seemed to be completely forgotten generally.
Neither Jia Mu nor Mrs. Wang took these words to heart, but Yu Chuan's next words made them all change their faces.
"...Outsiders only know that my sister threw herself into the well suddenly, but they don't know that my sister said something to me before she threw herself into the well." An unremarkable second-class maid, although the two lived together in Rongxi Hall, they rarely saw each other.But no matter how few times they met, if Jin Chuan wanted to, he could still find Yu Chuan and say a few words.
"What did Jin Chuan say?" After a long time, Jia Mu finally opened her eyes slowly and asked Yu Chuan.
Yu Chuan kowtowed heavily to Mother Jia several times, and then said: "My sister said that the reason why Lan Ge'er had an accident must be a traitor among the other four maids. She also said that she had already guessed it, but unfortunately it has not been confirmed yet." My sister also told me to find a way to sue the fake house first, and then enter the mansion after this end has settled down.” Unfortunately, Jin Chuan threw herself into the well as soon as she left. "My sister must not have committed suicide by throwing herself into a well. She couldn't have done that! It must be that person who killed Brother Lang first and then my sister. That person is one of Caiyun, Caixia, Xiuluan, and Xiufeng!"
Caiyun, Caixia, Xiuluan, and Xiufeng were originally the maidservants beside Mrs. Wang, second only to Jin Chuan'er, but their status was higher than Yu Chuan's.
The house fell into silence again, but Yu Chuan didn't know that as early as last year, when Mrs. Wang fell ill, Jia's mother cleaned the Rongxi Hall as quickly as possible.After that time, all the maids and wives in Rongxi Hall changed places, most of them were moved to some inconspicuous places, and a small number of them, such as the four maids, just disappeared.Wang Xifeng was once suspicious, but soon quit. She even planned to make decisions for Daiyu at the beginning, but instead quietly sent some things to appease her.
No one wants to fight against Mother Jia, and so does Mrs. Wang.
Yuchuan waited and waited, but even the kindest mandarin duck in her eyes did not say a word at this time.How else?Said that the four maids have long since disappeared?Or to put it simply, did Jia Mu kill everyone who might harm Jia Lan in a fit of anger after many days of unsuccessful inquiries?
"Old lady, I..." Suddenly, Yu Chuan seemed to think of something, and looked back and forth between Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang's faces in disbelief.After a while, Yu Chuan collapsed on the ground in a decadent state, and said in a voice almost choked up, "I have one more thing to say."
After all, Yuanyang couldn't bear it, and looked at Jia Mu, and saw that although Jia Mu was silent, there was no expression of anger on her face, so she said softly to Yu Chuan: "Sister Yu Chuan, what else do you have to say?" What? Even if you say something wrong, the old lady will not blame you. "
"Okay, let me say. The little aunt Zhou in the second master's room is the tourmaline in the old master Zhu's room!"
As soon as these words came out, even Jia's mother, who had always been calm, couldn't help but change her face.Besides, she had met that little Aunt Zhou, so she thought about it quickly, and compared it with the pretty big maid in her memory, her complexion became even uglier.
At this time, Mrs. Wang seemed to come back to life. She subconsciously took a few steps back to stabilize her figure, and asked in disbelief: "Tourmaline? You said that you were in the old lady's room, The tourmaline assigned to serve in Pearl's room?"
Jia Zhu has a wife and a son, namely Li Wan and Jia Lan; there are three aunts, one is from Jia's mother's house, the other is the daughter of Jia Zheng's family, and the third is a gift from Mrs. Wang; Tongfang, but it only occupies the name of Tongfang, and has no real relationship.
The tourmaline that Yuchuan just mentioned was one of Jia Mu's former eight maids.
It's also quite interesting to say.Jia Mu's maids always use those names, mandarin duck, parrot, amber, pearl, jadeite, glass, tourmaline, agate. If someone leaves, someone will fill it up soon.It's really a man of flowing water, with a name of iron.The reason here is naturally that Mother Jia is too lazy to remember the maid's name, so she just calls it like this.Now, I'm afraid even Jia's mother can't remember how many people have changed in front of her.
And Tourmaline was also one of the Eight Great Maids.But it is different from others, like Xiren was originally called Pearl, but after Baoyu was given to him, he changed his name to Xiren.There is also Brother Parrot, who was renamed Zicuckoo after being begged by Wang Xifeng.No matter how you say it, if you change people, you will definitely change your name.But Jia Zhu is a special case. After she became an aunt, she was called by her surname, and it didn't matter if she changed her name or not. Therefore, Tourmaline was still called by her original name by those close to her.
Bixi's maiden name is Zhou, and she is a direct sister to Aunt Zhou who is now in Jia Zheng's house.This is true.
"Nonsense! Why didn't I know about this? Mrs. Wang, tell me." Mother Jia glared at Mrs. Wang, as if all the mistakes were her fault.Of course, Mrs. Wang has no other choice but to recognize her by pinching her nose.
"Returning to the old lady, the daughter-in-law doesn't know about it. And... Aunt Zhou was given by the old lady. It is said that she is very safe in life, and the master always takes it very seriously."
"You mean, it's all my fault?" Mother Jia said coldly.
Mrs. Wang's heart and eyes are full of pain and aggrieved. In her heart, why doesn't she think so?Last year, Mother Jia suddenly gave maids to all the adult men in the family.Wang Xifeng personally came to ask for Jia Lian's end, and Jia Amnesty accepted the other end without saying a word, but when they arrived at their second room, something happened.First, Baoyu inexplicably fell in love with the maid named Xiaoman who was given to her earlier, and wanted to beg for it with all her heart, but in the end she got beaten up.Who would have thought that the maid named Xiaoman would eventually belong to Baoyu, but Jia Amnesty took the initiative to hand over the maid he got to Jia Zheng...
and many more!
"Old lady, listen to me. There may be other reasons for this!" If possible, Mrs. Wang is not willing to take this matter off at all, and besides, this matter was not her fault in the first place .At least, she never begged Jia Mu for a maid like Wang Xifeng. The little Aunt Zhou and the two house maids were all forced by Jia Mu.As for what Jia Mu's idea was, Mrs. Wang knew it well.
Therefore, she should not be responsible for this crime.
"Tell me, what's the reason here?" Mother Jia sneered.
"Old lady, do you ever remember that what you originally gave to the master was supposed to be another servant girl, but later Bao... was rewarded by the master to Baoyu." Mrs. Wang was about to say that Baoyu had snatched it away, and she almost blurted out, She wished she could slap herself.This son snatched Lao Tzu's housemaid, let alone spread it, even if he only leaked his words in front of Jia Mu, she couldn't bear it anymore and walked away.In a panic, Mrs. Wang said, "The little aunt Zhou in the master's room was sent by the master. By the way, I remember that she still has some relatives with everyone Lai."
Lai Da!
Jia Mu's complexion became more and more ugly. According to this statement, Jia Zhu's Tongfang Tourmaline was originally Jia Mu's maid.Now Aunt Zhou in Jia Zheng's room was given by Jia's mother and passed through Jia's amnesty.
All these things, one by one, are all related to Jia Mupan.Can it be said that even Jia Lan was killed by Jia Mu? !
Yuanyang was the first person to notice that Jia Mu was different, so she hurriedly left the jade bracelet and ran to Jia Mu in two steps at a time, just in time to support Jia Mu who fell down.
Come on, don't say anything!
"Old lady! Are you alright, old lady? Wake up quickly, old lady! If someone is coming, go to the front hall and call the first and second masters. Also, send someone to invite the doctor immediately, and call Lian Er Grandma is calling. Go!"
The Rongqing Hall was in chaos for a moment, but fortunately because of the mandarin ducks there, although it looked chaotic, it was actually orderly.
The first ones to rush over were of course Jia She, Jia Zheng and others who were still drinking in the front hall.
After all, Yuanyang was just a maidservant, although she believed that Mrs. Wang and Yu Chuan had nothing to do with Jia Mu's fainting, but no one dared to question if Yu Chuan died.The question is, isn't there another Mrs. Wang's mother?Therefore, after Jia She, Jia Zheng and others arrived, Yuanyang gritted his teeth and said to Jia She: "Returning to the old man, the old lady was arguing with... the second wife. I dare not question others, but I hope the old lady wakes up earlier and makes her own decision."
The implication is that although I know who the culprit is, I am unable to testify, so I have to wait for Mother Jia to wake up and let Mother Jia teach the culprit herself.
Jia Amnesty's eyes fell straight on Mrs. Wang's face with a "whoosh".
Ordinarily, the elder brother must avoid the younger brother and the daughter-in-law, especially when the age gap between the two is not too big.But although Jia She is famous, the problem is that his eyes reveal a serious killing intent at this moment, even the most pedantic moralist can never accuse Jia She of misbehavior.
Naturally, neither could Jia Zheng.
"You bastard, what did you do to your mother?!" Jia Zheng was even more angry than Jia She, at least, Jia She was just stalking coldly, but Jia Zheng strode forward and raised his hand A slap directly on Mrs. Wang's face.The clear and crisp applause echoed in the room, not only Mrs. Wang couldn't believe it, but also Jia Lian and others who came in a step behind were also dumbfounded.
But he heard Jia Zheng sternly said: "Go and kneel outside for me immediately. You are not allowed to get up for a day until my mother wakes up. Also, you are not allowed to eat or drink for her, and you are not allowed to sleep!"
Mrs. Wang stared at Jia Zheng with red eyes, the hatred in her heart was almost gushing out.But until the end, she just walked outside and knelt down as promised.
When Jia She saw this, he didn't say anything, he just looked at the jade bracelet kneeling in front of him, and asked: "Who is this? But he is also angry with mother?"
Yuanyang hurriedly said: "This is the second wife and Jin Chuan's younger sister. It was the old lady who came to ask questions. As for... Let's talk about it when the old lady wakes up. She is a family with children."
"Then go out and kneel, and I'll be with your wife." Jia She said coolly.
Yu Chuan didn't dare to argue for herself, so she walked outside obediently and knelt down beside Mrs. Wang half a step behind.After a while, Wang Xifeng arrived in a hurry. Hearing that the housekeeper had asked the doctor to call, his complexion slightly improved.At that moment, he ordered someone to take peppermint oil and spread it on Jia's mother. After a while, Jia's mother woke up faintly.
"Where's Mrs. Wang? Where's the damn Mrs. Wang?!" Mother Jia yelled angrily as soon as she woke up, before she fully opened her eyes.
Wang Xifeng had already walked up to Mother Jia to wait on her. Hearing this, she hurriedly said, "Old Ancestor, what's the matter with you? At least calm down first, because of those trivial matters, you've actually ruined your own body. If it's true Why don't you talk to me about things that are bothering you, and I'll ask Second Master Lian to vent your anger later on!"
"Brother Feng..." Mother Jia slowed down her tone a little, and then said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, so don't say good things for Mrs. Wang."
"Okay, I don't say good things. After all, why should I say good things? Even if I want to say good things, it is to say to the ancestors. You, the ancestors, love the younger generation very much. Just now when my Qiao girl left , and still looked reluctant, if I hadn't greeted her a few times, she would still be arguing to stay. Old ancestor, do you think you are extraordinarily pleasing to the younger generation?" Wang Xifeng smiled beautifully , directly changed the topic, did not mention the matter of talent at all, let alone mention Mrs. Wang and Yu Chuan who were still kneeling outside when she came in just now.
You can teach Mrs. Wang any time, and you won't let Jia's mother collapse for a moment of pleasure.If this is the case, how can she continue singing in the next scene?
"You are a good person, but Mrs. Wang..." It's not that Mother Jia is obsessed with Mrs. Wang, but that at this moment, she has seen clearly the people around her.
The sons Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng were there, as were the grandsons Jia Lian and Baoyu, as well as the great-grandson Jia Lan and Wang Xifeng.Mrs. Xing, Yingchun, and Xichun from the big house never came over, but those three were just decorations. Mother Jia didn't care at all, and she knew it well, and it was impossible for Yuanyang to send someone to call them.As for Li Wan, her leg injury has not yet healed, and even the previous Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, she just came to greet her in advance, and then went back to her room to rest, I am afraid that no one will remember them.
And Mrs. Wang...
"Zheng'er, Zheng'er, come here." Mother Jia called Jia Zheng repeatedly, and Wang Xifeng hurriedly stepped aside, giving Jia Zheng the seat in front of Mother Jia.Seeing this, the people around didn't react much, except Jia She curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
Unexpectedly, after Jia's mother took Jia Zheng's hand, she was not in a hurry to express her maternal love, but cried to Jia Zheng in tears: "Zheng'er, your daughter-in-law is really deceiving! You know what she said What? She said, Zhu'er was killed by me, and Lan'er's disfigurement was also caused by me. She also said that I would kill you too, and put people with ulterior motives in your room...Zheng'er, I feel so sorry for my mother! Bitter!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Jia Zheng, but everyone present, including Yuanyang, were dumbfounded.
However, these other people did not know the situation just now, but Yuanyang was an insider.But so what?As the most embarrassing maid in front of Jiamu, Yuanyang is the least likely to betray Jiamu.Even if Mother Jia pointed at the moon and insisted that it was the sun, she would smile and say, old lady, what you said is true.No matter how much suspicion there is in her heart, Yuanyang will only choose to follow Jiamu's words in the end.Or there is no need for her to speak at all, she just needs to look at Jiamu with a sad face, as if empathizing with her.
Leaving aside the mandarin ducks, the others in the room were really frightened.
But Jia Mu's words were not finished: "Zheng'er, tell me, which one do you believe in? My Zheng'er, if you believe in that Wang family, I will have no point in living. You ask your elder brother to send me back to Jinling , I can't stay in this house anymore. Go back to Jinling... go back!"
"Mother!" Jia Zheng cried out in pain, knelt down on his knees, and slammed his forehead on the edge of Jia's mother's bed, "Mother, what you said is ruining my son, ruining my son! How can my son not believe you? Mother , what you say is what you say, my son listens to you!"
Seeing this, Jia Amnesty didn't want to say anything, so he took a step forward and knelt down next to Jia Zheng: "Mother, my son is not filial, and let my mother suffer so much in the mansion. Mother, tell me, apart from Wang's Besides, has Mrs. Xing ever done anything against you? If so, I'll go and divorce her when I turn around!"
Wang Xifeng turned his face silently, these words are so thought-provoking.Before she could think any more, someone pulled her arm, and when she looked up, it was Jia Lian.But seeing Jia Lian also knelt behind Jia She, Wang Xifeng had no choice but to kneel next to him.As a result, Baoyu and Jialan were not spared either.
For a moment, the room fell to its knees.
Mother Jia's crying had stopped, but the brothers Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng showed their filial piety like a competition.Especially Jia She, who spoke so full of words, as if if Mrs. Xing showed any disrespect to Jia Mu, he would immediately kick her out of the house.Of course, maybe this is not a big talk. Jia Amnesty has no feelings for Mrs. Xing at all, and he is a person who does not care about face at all. If Jia's mother and Mrs. Xing meet, even if he kills Mrs. Xing, it will be extremely serious. possible.
As for Jia Zheng, since Jia's mother was accusing Mrs. Wang all the time, it was much more difficult for him to speak.It is necessary to express filial piety, but can't really make a real guarantee, after all, he never thought of divorcing his wife.But Jia Amnesty was still messing around, Jia Zheng was so angry that his face was flushed, and he had to grit his teeth to swallow his anger.
Wang Xifeng looked at this scene with cold eyes, and thought, it's a good thing Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang are not in the house at the moment, otherwise they would all be pissed off after hearing what these two people said.At that moment, Wang Xifeng squinted at Jia Lian, Jia Lian shuddered suddenly, and immediately smiled at Wang Xifeng in a flattering manner, which looked very much like sister Qiao's guilty conscience after doing something bad.
...Go back and deal with you!
……I did not do anything!
The couple unilaterally pinched each other with their eyes, but immediately became spectators patiently.Don't look at the usual days, no matter inside or outside the mansion, it is Jia Zheng who suppresses Jia Amnesty, but who made Jia Zheng have such a slow-moving daughter-in-law?By the way, there is an even more cheating son.Just because of these two, how much did Jia Zheng suffer?Apart from other things, Jia Zheng will definitely shed a layer of skin just because of this matter.
No one would have thought that when the house was in a mess, Zijuan hurried over, holding the door frame eagerly and looking at Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng's heart tightened, instinctively knowing that something must have happened again.Then he thought again, before he came, he had already made arrangements for Brother Rong, while Sister Qiao went to the East Courtyard, no one must have informed the East Courtyard, and took another look at Jia Lian, who was only half a step away from him.Well, the closest relatives are fine, and the others are not so important.At that moment, Wang Xifeng moved back a little bit, and while everyone's eyes were on Jiamu, she quietly waved to Zijuan.
Zijuan hurriedly shrank and rubbed against Wang Xifeng, leaned down and said to Wang Xifeng: "Grandma, something happened to Rongxi Hall again..."
After a few breaths, Wang Xifeng pushed away Jia Lian who was standing in front of her, and pushed Jia Lian staggeringly, almost falling to the ground.Before Jia Lian could open her mouth to question, Wang Xifeng hurriedly said, "Old lady! There's news from the Rongxi Hall that Aunt Zhou just lost her child."
Every heir of Rongguo Mansion is precious, even if it is just a concubine.Regardless of the cause of this incident, at least the current Rongguo Mansion is still managed by Wang Xifeng.Focusing on this alone, Wang Xifeng will be in trouble.Therefore, she can't hide this matter, and she doesn't dare to hide it, especially at this crucial stall.
The author has something to say:
The goddess fooled me into locking [-] today, although I agreed, but quietly changed it to [-].Thumbs up for the stupid author's wit, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come out today.
