Red House Shoufu

Chapter 51
Reciting poems, composing fus and exchanging current literature on Lanyue Tower is peaceful.

In the Ningguo Mansion, there was a lot of murder everywhere, and the servants knelt down, not even daring to breathe louder.

Jia Jing, who had been cultivating Taoism in Xuanzhen Temple outside the city for many years, returned to Ningguo Mansion at dawn. The first thing he did was to ask Jiao Da to gather his own soldiers and seal off the mansion.

The group of veterans who lived in the alley behind Ningguo Mansion heard the old Patriarch's call, put on worn but polished bright armor one by one, picked up their swords and came to Ningguo Mansion.

Jia Jing, dressed in Taoist robes, sat at the entrance of the main hall, looking coldly at the crowd of servants kneeling in front of him.

"Jiao Da, someone copied the Lai family! Remember, no one is allowed to let go of the Lai family!"

Lai Er, who was kneeling at the bottom, struggled to say something, a soldier went down with a knife handle, and lay on the ground directly unable to move.

Jiao Da hesitated for a moment: "Master, Nanny Lai is the old lady's housemate, and his grandson Lai Shangrong has been slaved since he was born. He did not know how to release the state officials two years ago... ..."

"The old lady is really confused... Go and tell Jia Lian, let him go to the official department, find an excuse to let the official department strip off the official clothes of the treacherous slave, and if you need money, go directly to the account to withdraw it!"

Jia Jing didn't expect that in the few years since he was away from home, a small servant would become an official of the court.

At this time, Jia Zhen, who spent the night in the brothel, was taken home drunk, and as soon as she entered the main courtyard, she saw a lot of people kneeling on the ground.

"What are you doing so early in the morning? Where's Lai Er? Lai Er..."

Seeing him like this, Jia Jing couldn't suppress his anger: "Niety! Don't get out!"

"Father?"

Jia Zhen also woke up from the drink, her thighs trembled and she couldn't move.He was dragged to Jia Jing by two soldiers, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"The son doesn't know that his father is returning home..."

"I'm afraid you don't want me to come back!"

Jia Jing's icy voice made Jia Zhen break out in cold sweat, kowtowed repeatedly: "Son doesn't dare, son doesn't dare..."

"Jiao Da, take this group of people down and interrogate them carefully. Anyone who commits crimes will be sent to the Shuntian Mansion for justice!"

Jia Jing ignored Jia Zhen who was kneeling and kowtowing, and directed Jiao Da to deal with the Diao Nu, and there were chaotic begging for mercy in the courtyard.

When the group of people were escorted away by their own soldiers, Jia Jing got up and kicked Jia Zhen: "Come with me!"

……

In Rongxi Hall, Jia Shishi had just finished his breakfast.

Just when Yuanyang was telling her about the affairs of the mansion, Nanny Lai burst in crying suddenly: "Old lady, this old slave can't live anymore..."

……

In the main hall of Ningguo Mansion, the gate was closed tightly, and the soldiers guarded the gate of the courtyard to prevent others from approaching.

Jia Jing picked up a rattan stick and whipped it countless times. Jia Zhen almost passed out from the pain, but she didn't even dare to hide.

When Jia Jing was tired from the beating, Jia Zhen hugged his leg and cried, "Father, why did you beat your son?"

"You still have the guts to ask? When I left home, I explained it clearly to you. It's good for you. It's only been a few years, and the Jia family's face has been completely humiliated by you!"

Jia Jing slapped again, and Jia Zhen covered her face: "Didn't you ask your son to do this?"

"But I didn't let you pick up ashes! You want to court death so much, you dare to touch Brother Rong's daughter-in-law!"

Hearing Jia Jing mention Qin Keqing, Jia Zhen's eyes revealed a hint of obscenity.How could he let go of such a beautiful woman?
He thought in his heart: "Isn't it just a woman? The big deal is to marry another one for Brother Rong. The old man really is so angry about this matter."

Seeing his indifference, Jia Jing knew that this son might be useless.At that time, I had no choice but to leave home to practice Taoism. I originally wanted to make my son absurd, so as not to be treated as a threat by the emperor.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, Jia Zhen has become extravagant and lustful.

Ugh!
He sighed: "The Qin family is the illegitimate daughter of the former crown prince. You picked ashes and crawled on the royal daughter. Think about it yourself, will the palace let you live?"

"Impossible, then the Qin family is just the adopted daughter of the Qin family..." Jia Zhen had a look of disbelief, her whole body trembling with fear.

Jia Jing said coldly: "The adopted daughter of the Ministry of Construction and Repairs of the Ministry of Industry, can she also be the future wife of my Jia family?"

Hearing this, Jia Zhen finally believed Jia Jing's words, and sat down on the ground in cold sweat.

"Let me ask you, did you have an affair with the Qin family?"

Jia Jing really regrets his original decision now, because of a moment of greed, he agreed to the request of those people, which made Jia Zhen get into this catastrophe.

Now I can only see how things have developed, but there are still ways to recover.

Jia Zhen originally wanted to argue, but seeing her father's cold eyes, she had no choice but to reply truthfully: "My son originally wanted...to make her willing, but he didn't expect her to force her with her life. Heavy, dragged it until today!"

Fortunately, it was not succeeded!

Jia Jing was a little grateful for that "serious illness", although now he wished to hack Jia Wang to death with a knife.

"From today onwards, you will hand over the position of patriarch to Jia Lian, and make another note, please resign from the title, let Rong Rong take over the title!"

Jia Zhen raised her head sharply, and shouted unwillingly: "Father, what about the son? The head of the Jia family has always been inherited by the Ningguo Mansion!"

Jia Jing took the ritual knife from the wall, threw it at Jia Zhen's feet, and snorted coldly: "Either you listen to what I say, or you kill yourself. How many heads do you have enough to chop off the royal blood?"

"Yes, but she is only the former prince's illegitimate daughter, we can get rid of her quietly, and it can be regarded as eliminating future troubles for the one in the palace!"

Jia Zhen turned her head quickly, trying to figure out a way out for herself.

Jia Jing said quietly: "Who said that His Majesty can't tolerate the Qin family? Will the embroidery guards not be able to find out your identity as the Qin family?"

Jia Zhen looked at Yidao in front of her, and finally kowtowed unwillingly and said, "The son listens to his father, so what will the son do in the future?"

"Follow me to Xuanzhen Temple, when will the capital calm down, and when will you come back!"

……

Jia Jing pressed Jia Zhen to write a memorial, the ink was still wet when there was a commotion outside the door.

"I don't know how many times I have come to Ningguo Mansion, and I have never been stopped by anyone! Where is Jia Jing? Let him come out to see me!"

Jia Shishi's voice came into the room, Jia Jing frowned.

"Father, why did the ancestors get so angry?" Jia Zhen didn't know that before she came back, her father had completely copied the Lai family.

Jia Jing glared at him, then went to open the door and replied calmly: "It's just copying Lai's house."

Jia Zhen stared dumbfounded at Jia Jing's opening the door, and bowed to Jia Shishi: "Auntie, what's the reason? You don't enjoy the blessings in the house in the cold weather, and you run outside to blow the cold wind?"

Hearing Jia Jing's cold words, Jia Shishi regained a little bit of reason.

Anyway, Jia Jing was also the former patriarch of the Jia clan, and he had a very high reputation in the clan, which was not comparable to that trash like Jia Zhen.

"Jing'er, Auntie asked you, why did they steal Lai's house? Where did they provoke you, and they want to be so cruel?"
