Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

Chapter 657: Inside and outside the courtyard, people are in turmoil

"Master, the Shi family is there."

In a courtyard next to the stable in the Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Xing was saying something cautiously, while watching Jia She's expression.

"A clown."

Jia She snorted lightly. He had heard some news about the Shi family's secret dealings. Of course, this kind of thing was also happening in other families in the capital.

In fact, no one is willing to be buried with the court, and he doesn't want to either. But at the moment, the court is not without a chance of winning, and the chances are very high.

In his opinion, starting to make a living on your own at this time is too narrow-minded.

"Ridiculous!"

He didn't seem to want to say anything extra, but looking at Jia She's attitude, Mrs. Xing already understood a lot of things. Jia She would not allow her to do those little things in private.

"You better stop doing that and don't cause trouble for the master, or I'll be in trouble."

As if knowing his daughter-in-law's temperament, Jia She gave her another warning at the end.

When Mrs. Xing heard what Jia She said, she nodded angrily. After all, they were husband and wife, and Jia She was quite accurate in some things.

As early as when Mrs. Xing mentioned this matter, she had actually contacted someone privately. She has no children at the moment and is a lonely person. If she really plans to leave, she will not have so many ties. However, this person forgot that Jia She still inherits the title, and as Jia She's wife, she has an imperial edict.

If Feng Jieer left, the higher-ups would investigate and only give her a warning. But if she left, Jia She would probably be impeached by the censors, and his life or death would be in jeopardy.

Jia She knew everything here clearly. Although his wife behaved well on weekdays, he was afraid that his son would make trouble and he would be implicated, so he had to be careful.

On the other side, Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng were discussing matters concerning the historian family in their own courtyard.

The people in the capital were already in panic, and the major families in the capital added fuel to the fire, making the people even more confused.

"Master, I'm afraid the situation at the Shi family is not what the old lady said."

Obviously, Mrs. Wang also heard some news about the Shi family through her own channels. After all, truth will come out sooner or later, especially at this time, when all the major families in the capital are being watched by many parties.

As soon as I saw that something was wrong, I quickly withdrew.

It may sound ridiculous, but it is true.

Those big families, especially some decisive big families, actually have the same idea in their minds. They will not put all their eggs in one basket. The risk is too great. If they fail to bet on the right thing, the consequences will definitely not be what they want to see.

And at this time, the situation is also very delicate.

It's not that the imperial court had no power to resist at all, but the Prince of Dongping led his troops to attack the city, which was very sudden, and the capital's response was hasty, so it gave people a feeling that it was unable to take care of itself.

But in fact, the power of the palace is still very strong. The Five-Gate Military Governor's Office has always been in the capital and has not been transferred out. Only the garrison troops in the camp outside the capital and the elite forces of the Imperial Guards have been transferred away.

The remaining troops were enough to suppress any rebellion in the capital. Some people saw this clearly, some just had some guesses but could not be sure, and some were like headless flies, not knowing the actual situation at all. But the smart people were still a minority, and most people just had some guesses in their hearts. The court did not seem to be very sure about the Prince of Dongping, so they had to make preparations for both situations.

So most people chose to wait and see at this time.

Let’s see what’s happening in the palace, what’s happening in the court, and where their bottom line is.

These are the things they need to make sure of. Only by being well prepared can they deal with the current chaos.

After all, people in the capital have no idea what the outside world is like. In case the situation outside is more chaotic than inside the capital, they will have to bring more people, and they must all be good hands, otherwise it would be like throwing a piece of fat meat into a wolf's den.

There is one more thing. The palace has not made any statement yet. The benevolent and wise emperor is not as broad-minded as he seems. If he comes to settle the score later, they will be in big trouble.

Therefore, the little moves of the historian at this time would attract special attention. In other words, this was a real warrior who risked being killed by the palace to do something that everyone wanted to do but had not yet made up their mind to do.

"I've heard about it!"

Jia Zheng seemed to know about this matter as well. It is said that secrets are the key to success. From Jia Zheng's own point of view, the historian's matter had been widely spread and would never succeed.

Of course, he couldn't guess why the situation had turned out like this and who was behind it, but he was clear about one thing: the historian's affairs would definitely be heard by the saint.

Someone was planning to use Shi's head to test the emperor's bottom line. He heard about this from his own son.

Jia Zheng didn't react to Baoyu's opinion at first. It was only after Jia Baoyu explained it to him that Jia Zheng felt terrified. If it was really as Jia Baoyu said, the person who intended to test the emperor's bottom line must be someone close to the historian.

"Master, do we need to prepare as well?"

Mrs. Wang didn’t know the inside story yet. She just felt that the historian’s approach was worthy of recognition.

The prosperity of a family mainly depends on its people. As long as some outstanding descendants can leave behind, the family may be able to make a comeback in the future.

"You want Baoyu to leave?"

Jia Zheng stretched out his hand and pinched his goatee, then asked curiously.

He could feel that Jia Baoyu seemed like a different person after waking up from his coma. For the Jia family, he was definitely a promising talent, with excellent talents both in academic studies and in managing the household.

Therefore, Jia Zheng still felt very gratified about his child. The Duke's Mansion had a successor. If Jia Baoyu could really grow up, the Jia family would definitely have a bright future.

"No, Baoyu's identity is very sensitive. He is the mother's biological brother. I want to not give Huan'er the child."

Jia Zheng was slightly stunned when he heard this. How could he not know how Mrs. Wang treated Jia Huan on weekdays? To him, Jia Huan's nonchalant appearance was simply a waste of a precious place in the Jia family.
