[Red Chamber] Daiyu's Rebirth Without Regrets

51,

Jia Mu looked at Mrs. Wang, glanced at the account book and said sharply, "You are getting better and better!"

Mrs. Wang heard this, looked up at Jiamu, not understanding why Jiamu was in such a state, and said immediately: "I don't know what my lord mother means?"

Mother Jia slapped on the table, pointed at Mrs. Wang with a cold face, and said, "It's so courageous, it's getting worse, and you actually sued your own people."

Although Mrs. Wang wanted to replace Jia's mother wholeheartedly, she had been plotting slowly. After hearing this, she immediately said: "My daughter-in-law doesn't know, please tell me clearly."

Jia Mu smiled wryly, "You are still acting with me here, and you still don't go and settle the case for me."

Mrs. Wang knelt down when she heard the nonsensical words, and cried, "Mother, although I don't know a few words, I am also a person who knows the etiquette. I have never heard of these things you said."

Mother Jia looked at Mrs. Wang, at this second daughter-in-law who had been her for decades. In Yuanchun Baoyu's face, how could Jia's mother praise her so much.

Seeing that Jia's mother's face was getting worse and worse sitting on it, Mrs. Wang became anxious immediately, and she cried and said, "Mother, I am from the Jia family and Baoyu's mother. No matter what, how could I hurt Baoyu? Empress!"

When Jia Mu heard it, it was the truth, but the person who reported the case was the housekeeper of the Wang family, so she asked: "Lai Da was arrested, is it really not your fault?"

When Madam Wang heard this, her expression changed, and she immediately argued: "Is this Lai Da really caught?"

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Jia's mother calmed down and said, "Just now when Jia Lian went to the yamen to ask, they all said that it was your housekeeper's complaint, and Lian'er was beaten up for it. It's red and swollen, and my legs are sprained." Mother Jia sighed as she spoke.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang thought that she hadn't returned to her natal home for a while, so she said, "Daughter-in-law is afraid that someone is playing tricks on this matter. Although Zhou Rui was greedy for money, she scolded her severely and forced her Let her pay back the money owed early. The daughter-in-law will never make trouble with our family's reputation. "

After hearing this, Jia's mother thought that Zhou Rui had really exchanged the thousands of taels of silver he owed.Today, for some reason, as soon as this incident happened, nothing went well. Mother Jia also felt tired, so she immediately handed over the matter to Mrs. Wang.

Seeing that Mother Jia's complexion was not good, Mrs. Wang had no choice but to back off. Zhou Rui's family followed Mrs. Wang, originally thinking that the whole family had pooled up the money to make up the money, and that they would be able to look good again, but they didn't want to be surprised. Not being noticed by Mother Jia, she also followed Mrs. Wang silently.

That night, except for Jia Lian who was lying in the gentle village, no one else slept well. Wang Xifeng had nightmares all night. Jia Mu didn't fall asleep easily, and she only slept for half an hour. Mrs. Wang thought about things for most of the night, so early in the morning So they prepared a carriage and went to the palace.

Wang Ziteng was promoted to inspector of the nine provinces, and now he is still in office, only Mrs. Wang Ziteng is still at home.This early in the morning, I saw people from Jia's mansion, and I was a little strange when I saw Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang didn't sleep well, and there was a lot of powder on her face. Seeing her energetic sister-in-law, she immediately said: "I was reprimanded by my old lady yesterday." She pretended to wipe away tears .

Mrs. Wang Ziteng was surprised at the moment, why did it happen so early in the morning, but she had to pretend to be concerned and asked: "But what happened?"

Mrs. Wang said: "The chief steward of Jia's house, Lai Da, was taken away by the dental officer. Lian'er went to inquire and was beaten up. She is still lying on the bed and can't get up. I heard that the magistrate said that Gao Lai Da belonged to our Wang family. housekeeper."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang Ziteng immediately said, "Don't be joking!"

Mrs. Wang said with a straight face: "I hope it's a joke, but it's true. My old lady and sister-in-law also know that she is the most merciful person on weekdays, but yesterday in front of so many people, my face is really It's all gone."

Mrs. Wang Ziteng looked at her elder sister-in-law, and immediately said: "You know our family, the population is small and simple." Mrs. Wang Ziteng said to the mother-in-law outside: "Go and find the housekeeper."

After hearing this, the woman walked towards the front yard.

Mrs. Wang Ziteng saw that Mrs. Wang's face was not good, so she asked the girl to serve the porridge that she had just cooked in the morning, and then served two plates of peanuts, plus a bowl of fried meat pie.

Mrs. Wang Ziteng pulled Mrs. Wang to sit down, and said, "Come and have a bite with me. Now that I am old, I must drink some stewed porridge every morning."

Jia's food has always been fried and greasy, Madam Wang is used to this kind of food, now she is eating this bland porridge, she put down her chopsticks after a few mouthfuls.

Mrs. Wang Ziteng saw it and didn't care.

Not long after, I saw Steward Wang coming.Mrs. Wang naturally knew Steward Wang, so she immediately stared at him.

As soon as Steward Wang entered the room and saw Mrs. Wang, he felt uncomfortable, and heard his wife ask: "Have you ever gone to the Yamen to sue Steward Lai?"

Wang Steward heard it, looked at Mrs. Wang, then at his wife, and said with a smile: "Where did you hear this, Madam, I know Lai Da, after all, he has a different relationship with our house. I also said a few polite words in front of him, this relationship is neither close nor distant, and there is no intersection, how could I go to the Yamen to sue him."

Mrs. Wang Ziteng looked at Mrs. Wang, and said to the housekeeper: "The housekeeper of Jia's house, Lai Da, was arrested, and he said it was because of your height."

Upon hearing this, Steward Wang hurriedly argued, "Ma'am, there's nothing wrong with that."

Mrs. Wang was a little anxious looking at it, and she didn't care to avoid suspicion at the moment, so she asked Steward Wang: "The magistrate said you sued, how can you explain it!"

Steward Wang became anxious when he heard Mrs. Wang's words, and said: "I have people testifying in the mansion every day, so the magistrate told me when I filed the complaint, and did he say anything?"

Mrs. Wang was in a hurry to go out, but now she was questioned by Steward Wang, and then she ran over without knowing these things, and immediately said: "Your uncle will not lie for nothing, this matter has to be resolved."

Mrs. Wang Ziteng heard that Wang Xifeng was also involved in this matter, so she immediately sent someone to call Wang Ren, saying that Wang Ren and Steward Wang should go to the Yamen together to ask questions.

Although Wang Ren is a member of the eldest family of the Wang family, but Wang Ziteng has no children under his knees, Wang Ren is treated as a son by Wang Ziteng's wife.

This Wang Ren is a demon king in the world, after hearing this, he dragged the housekeeper to the yamen without saying a word.When the magistrate met Wang Ren, he was very strict with him, but he didn't want Wang Ren to see that the prefect Luo didn't know him, butler Wang clamored that the prefect Luo had framed his family.

Steward Wang watched from the side, and only persuaded: "Young master, the magistrate was also deceived by others, so let's just say it."

But Wang Ren was not forgiving, and pulled the prefect Luo to argue. Although the prefect Luo was afraid that Wang Ziteng would be annoyed by Wang Ren, he immediately said: "This case has been reported for the record, and now I can't handle it. It's gone."

Wang Ren looked at him and said, "I don't believe what you say, but you are asking for money."

Steward Wang couldn't stop these words, so seeing Luo Zhifu pointing at Wang Ren with a cold face, he said: "I will remember this, don't regret it like me."

After speaking, Zhifu Luo entered the house and closed the door, leaving Wang Ren and others in place.

Steward Wang said with a dejected expression: "Young Master, just now, Zhifu Luo knew he was wrong, so you just went down the slope. How did you say those words?"

Wang Ren pulled his neck and said: "Isn't it just a fourth-rank magistrate, how old is an official." He walked out of the yamen without paying attention.

Butler Wang looked behind and shook his head and followed.

When the two returned to the palace, Wang Ren saw Mrs. Wang Ziteng and said, "The prefect Luo said that it was not the housekeeper who complained."

Mrs. Wang listened, and remained silent. Mrs. Wang Ziteng saw the housekeeper sighing and asked, "What happened just now?"

The steward hurriedly said: "Prefect Luo also believed in the wrong person. He saw the man holding the mansion's signboard, and saw that he was dressed decently, and he was still sitting in our mansion's carriage. He just thought it was me, so he opened the case. Now that the case has been handed over to the higher authorities, I am afraid it will not be easy to deal with."

Mrs. Wang Ziteng didn't take it seriously, she just said: "The officials above always want to sell our face, but who can have the brand of our mansion and still ride in the carriage of our mansion?"

Wang Ren said next to him: "If I catch this man, I will kill him."

Mrs. Wang Ziteng only said after hearing this: "It's not necessary to beat him to death, but to give him a good beating."

Mrs. Wang listened to this again, and after a while she said: "My good sister-in-law, this person who complained is trying to drive a wedge between our two families!"

Mrs. Wang Ziteng was not stupid, so she immediately said: "This person is so vicious. If we find out whoever is, we must punish him." Mrs. Wang Ziteng looked at Mrs. Wang and said, "Go back and explain to the old lady. , we must not let this matter ruin the relationship between our two families."

Mrs. Wang thanked her sister-in-law and immediately returned to Jia's mansion.

Mrs. Wang, who had returned to Jia's mansion, went directly to Jia's mother, and told Jia's mother about it.After hearing this, Jia's mother was skeptical, who would make such a big circle to do this.This sued Lai Da for embezzlement of the Jia family's money. Anyone who heard it would think that the Jia family sued. After all, it was the Jia family who benefited from the investigation.

Now I have to beg the magistrate to find out the person who sued, and Jia Lian has to do this.Mrs. Wang said next to her: "Wang Ren has already started looking for that person."

Jia Mu narrowed her eyes and said, "The Wang family is looking for Wang's family, and our family is looking for our family."

In addition, Daiyu came to Jiamu's side to say hello, thinking that Jiamu was going to bring up the dowry again, and she had already thought about her speech, but she didn't want Jiamu to be tired, so she asked Daiyu to go back after saying a few words.

On the way back, Daiyu heard that Jia Lian was beaten yesterday, and the gossiping woman said vividly that Jia Lian's legs were broken.
