A journey to the heavens starting from the Red Mansion

Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall.

Jia Mu looked at Jia She in the hall with an unkind expression, frowned and asked:

"I heard a rumor some time ago. There were so many people present yesterday, and Min'er had just come back, so I didn't point it out in public.

Now I just want to ask you, is it true that half of Dongfu’s family property has gone into your pocket? Don’t you know that a weak heart will eventually cost your life? "

At this time, in the Rongqing Hall, because they were discussing matters related to the reputation of the Jia family, apart from Jia Mu and Jia She, there was only one maid serving.

This woman is wearing a thin cotton-padded jacket made of elastic ink silk, with only a blue satin vest outside. She is exactly the mandarin duck.

Yuanyang's status is unmatched by other maids. She is the eldest girl next to the old lady and her true confidant.

Jia's mother's daily life, clothing, gold and silver, almost everything is controlled by Yuanyang and is taken care of in an orderly manner.

Therefore, Jia She was not surprised to see Yuanyang here. Instead, he glanced at her from time to time, feeling a little uncomfortable looking at Yuanyang.

However, after hearing what Jia Mu said, Jia She came back to his senses and couldn't think about anything else. As if he had been slandered, his face turned red and he shouted loudly:

"What kind of evil creature likes to gossip? She really should be caught and beaten to death. This is getting more and more excessive. As the eldest son of Duke Rongguo, do I need to touch my brother's family property?"

Hearing this, Jia Mu could hear the sarcasm hidden in his words. If she meant something, her face changed slightly. She did not follow his words and her tone was not as aggressive as before. She backed down slightly:

"There is no airtight wall in the world. Not only do you know whether you put your hand in, but there are people watching. As long as you do it, it will leave traces."

Seeing Jia She's nonchalant look, Jia Mu's eyes darkened and she said seriously:

"Are you still the kind of naive person at your age? I just don't want to make the matter bigger and make the family ugly. Brother Zhen just died, and Rong'er was lying there with her life and death unknown, but you did something like this matter.

It was the same back then. Your father had high hopes for you and asked you to go to Jiubian to experience for a few years.

I didn't expect that you would come back in less than half a year. The gods in the capital would laugh at our Jia family as a tiger father and son, and your father would be so angry that he wanted to beat you to death on the spot.

The title you have now was originally given to your brother, but I'm worried that the two brothers will become enemies over this, and the brothers will fight against each other.

I didn't take away your title as your father said angrily before.

But what you are doing now is that you think I am biased. Are you doing these tricks to piss me off to death? "

When she said the last sentence, Mother Jia narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Jia She, with unknown meaning deep in her eyes.

"Mother's words are serious, it's nothing."

Feeling that the topic was getting more and more dangerous, and realizing that Jia Mu was really angry, Jia She's heart trembled, and he hurriedly apologized, his expression slightly restrained, and not as wanton as before.

Seeing Jia She quickly plead guilty, Jia Mu looked at him intently for a while, her expression softened a little, she waved her hands and said:

"I don't pray that you can do anything big now, but now that the affairs of the eldest girl in the palace have come to light, you should take care of your hands and feet.

If this thing goes wrong, both will be prosperous and both will suffer, and I'm afraid you won't have a good time either.

This matter is related to the future glory and wealth of your Jia family. I don’t want Duke Rong’s glory to be ruined.

I'm getting old too. From now on, it's up to you to make your own choices. Go back and think about it. "

Jia She nodded repeatedly, saying that he had not embezzled Dongfu's family property, and everything was purely a rumor.

Mother Jia saw that the eldest son was still dealing with her, and she was not interested in talking to him anymore. The most important thing now was the eldest girl's affairs, and everything else had to be compromised for this, so she stopped there and didn't go into details.

Jia She walked out of Rongqing Hall step by step, turned his head and glanced at Rongqing Hall behind him, shook his head and sneered.

Even if the Jia Mansion could produce a concubine and become emperor, she would naturally be rich and wealthy, but to be honest, it would not matter much to me, the nominal eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion.

Would a girl who was born into a second wife pay more attention to her uncle? In the end, not all Baoyu will benefit, Dafang will only get a mouthful of soup.

It's better to take advantage of the opportunity to make a big profit now. Brother Zhen is dead, and Rong'er doesn't look like he will live long. Instead of Dongfu's wealth falling into the hands of outsiders, it's better to hand it over to him. I'm sure Brother Jing won't mind either. of. Furthermore, yesterday he was insinuating things with his little sister, and he understood that her eldest son would not put his hands on Dongfu's wealth, which also meant that he had no competitors.

Under such circumstances, if you want him to spit out the thing that fell into his mouth, don't even think about it, even if the King of Heaven comes, it will be useless.

……

Ningguo Mansion, at the gate.

A group of elite guards divided into two lines, walked forward quickly, spread out in a figure of eight, and occupied a favorable position in the area outside the gate.

Lin Yao rode a white horse and came here slowly.

Pulling the reins slightly, the horse stopped. Lin Yao looked up at the gate. Some time ago, he had to sneak in quietly, but now he can enter the Duke's Mansion openly.

The feeling of taking advantage of others is really good. No wonder those bullies in ancient times liked to do this kind of thing.

With a sigh, Lin Yao naturally has no so-called sympathy, and he has no psychological burden for Jia Zhen's handling.

As for Jia Rong, he and his father Jia Zhen gathered together many times to quarrel with each other. It was really an animal behavior. Not to mention Qin Keqing, the second sister You and the third sister later made it clear at the wedding after Jia Jing's death.

It can be said that the decline of the Jia Mansion did not happen overnight. It collapsed all because of the silent help of these great smarts.

Even if Yuanchun's life was burned and Daiyu's property was embezzled, there was nothing he could do to save the situation, which only added a bit of sadness.

"Uncle Lin is here."

Lai Sheng, the chief steward of the Ning Mansion, led all the stewards of the Ning Guo Mansion and greeted him at the door with his hands lowered and his forehead slightly lowered to show his obedience.

But while they were talking, some people couldn't help but raise their heads slightly out of curiosity, glancing at the elite men holding sharp blades.

When their eyes met accidentally, my heart trembled, and I quickly lowered my head.

He couldn't pronounce the word "Jia" in one sentence, and Ning Rong's second residence was just across the street. If there was any trouble, both parties would know about it soon.

Lin Yao showed his prowess in Rongguo Mansion, and even Jia Mu had to retreat a bit, which was very difficult for servants like them.

Not to mention that it was his first time to come to Ningguo Mansion and he brought so many elite people with him. It was obvious that the people who came here were evil, so Lai Sheng did not pretend to be a "grandfather" because of his relationship with Jia Min.

Lin Yao looked around, nodded slightly, got off his horse, whispered a few words to a guard next to him, and walked in without talking too much to Lai Sheng and others.

When Lin Yao walked in, these guards did not follow him in. Instead, they controlled various intersections and stared at the housekeepers such as Lai Sheng so that they did not dare to move.

Lai Sheng and others looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed. They looked like young men, but with such armed strength, it didn't look like they were simply here to establish their authority.

They are able to have a transcendent status in Dongfu and even the entire Jia family, allowing the direct descendants of the Jia family to call them uncles and grandfathers, all because Jia Mu, who has the highest status in the Jia family, has a close relationship with their father and mother, and they can pretend to be powerful.

Brothers Lai Da and Lai Sheng were able to become the stewards of the east and west palaces respectively because their mother, Aunt Lai, was the dowry maid brought by Jia Mu from the Shi family.

But if Lin Yao is not Jia Zhen or Jia Rong, how could he let these people ride on his head?

If Lai Sheng and the others still wanted to treat Lin Yao the same way they treated the children of the Jia family, they would die miserably.

These people also gradually realized that the days of rebelling against Tiangang in Ningguo Mansion may be gone forever, and terrible things may even happen... (End of Chapter)
