King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 206 Miss Xue's Face
As the mastermind behind the scenes, Zhu Jingyuan has been paying attention to the situation. When Deng An left Dong'anmen to go to Jia's house, he also received news from Chengming Palace.

"The old thirteen was so angry that he was persuaded to come down?" Zhu Jingyuan thought he heard it wrong.

As he expected, Zhu Jinghong would be furious when he learned of the situation, and he would go to Jia's house to provoke.

Chen Zhi on the side couldn't help but said, "It's that girl from the Xue family again!"

"The old thirteen is really loyal, the Xue family saved his life, it seems that the favor is not over!"

"A few words from Xue's girl actually persuaded him to come down!"

Hearing Chen Zhi's words, Zhu Jingyuan felt very uncomfortable, and he was so angry that he wanted to smash things again.

"Miscalculation, miscalculation this time!" Zhu Jingyuan was annoyed.

I only heard Chen Zhi say: "The matter has come to this, how to remedy it?"

Zhu Jingyuan said helplessly: "The key to success this time is to make use of the impulsive character of the old thirteen. Now he has been persuaded... That's the way it is!"

It is impossible for him to find another gang of ruffians to embarrass the Qin family in the name of the Jia family. It would be too deliberate to do so, and it would arouse Zhu Jinghong's suspicion.

Chen Zhi asked: "Qin Ye has sued the officials at the county government, should we add fire?"

Zhu Jingyuan shook his head and said, "Forget it...it's just a casual move, let's not get too deep!"

"Now... I think the fourth child already knows the situation, but I don't know how he will react!" Chen Zhiruo was thoughtful.

Sitting beside Chen Zhi, Zhu Jingyuan took a sip of hot tea and said, "The East Palace has never had any contact with the Jia family, I'm afraid he doesn't know yet..."

"Just a few days ago, the old man sent him more than a dozen boxes of memoirs and answers, asking him to sort out the context and analyze the situation. The fourth son was so focused on it, I'm afraid he didn't have the time to pay attention to other things!"

"What memorials are they? Could it be that His Majesty gave him a heavy responsibility?" Chen Zhi instinctively became alert.

Lao Liu really paid attention to this matter, and only heard him reply: "It's all local officials' reports, there are all kinds of messy things, I can't see what the old man has any deep meaning!"

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. I don't think it's that simple!" Chen Zhi frowned.

"Don't worry about the fourth child, as for the thirteenth child... I found a way to deal with him"

"any solution?"

"Since ancient times, heroes have loved beauties, and now that the old thirteen has grown up, it is also right to like beautiful women!"

"I've met the girl from the Xue family. She really has the beauty of a country and a city. I think the old thirteen likes her, so I listen to her words!"

Chen Zhi did not deny this conjecture, but she asked with doubts on her face, "But what... does it have anything to do with picking the old thirteen?"

"Find a woman with a good appearance and good character, and make him a princess. We have discussed this matter before!"

Chen Zhi was expressionless, and said very calmly: "Don't worry about it, the empress mother has already made a claim on this matter!"

"You mean girl Ting?"

Seeing Chen Zhi nodding, Zhu Jingyuan smiled and said: "In the end, the old thirteen will choose. If he doesn't like Ting girl wholeheartedly, the queen mother may have nothing to do with her!"

…………

Not to mention how Zhu Jingyuan and his wife negotiated, at this moment the Ningguo Mansion is in chaos.

Under the persuasion of Jia She and his son, Jia Zhen brought a gift early in the morning and went to the Qin family to agree to divorce.

However, when she arrived outside the Qin family's house, Jia Zhen didn't even enter the door, and was scolded bloody by the Qin family's father and son.

No matter how Jia Zhen explained, Qin Ye couldn't listen to a word, and decided that what happened last night was done by him.

In desperation, Jia Zhen had to go back to the house to discuss countermeasures.

The injuries on Qin Ye's body could not be faked, if the other party really wanted to make trouble desperately, Jia Zhen would have to peel off his skin if he didn't die.

"I will report this to the Thirteenth Lord, and what will happen to you when I see it!"

Thinking of Qin Ye's last words, Jia Zhen in the sedan chair became more and more frightened, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

When he returned to Ningguo Mansion, several principals of Jia's family were still there, talking and laughing happily, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

But when they saw Jia Zhen appearing outside the living room with a faltering footsteps and a pale face, everyone in the room was stunned.

"Brother Zhen, this is..."

Before Jia Lian finished speaking, Jia Zhen, who was about to enter the door, fell to the ground, causing everyone in the room to scream.

"Get up quickly!" Jia She told the left and right.

Immediately a servant stepped forward and helped the extremely weak Jia Zhen up.

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Jia She immediately asked, "What's going on?"

"Master, something happened..."

Jia Zhen wanted to cry at this moment, but the prestige of beating Jia Rong yesterday was gone.

"what happened?"

"Yesterday evening, a group of thieves claimed to be instigated by me. They went to the Qin family to threaten them not to withdraw the marriage. They made the Qin family a mess, and Qin Ye himself was injured!"

"When I went this morning, the Qin family had already reported the case to the government. Qin Ye scolded me severely, and then went to the palace to see Lord Thirteen!"

"If Lord Thirteen knows about this, I'm afraid..."

I'm afraid Jia Zhen didn't say anything because he was afraid of facing the result.

At this moment, everyone in Jia's mansion looked solemn, and everyone felt a big stone in their hearts.

From half a year ago until now, the Jia family has never stopped, but now they have encountered such a disaster again.

"I said it yesterday. To be safe, we should make the trip on the same day. You went out yesterday and fooled around for a whole day. You wasted time and didn't say anything...but you caused such a disaster again!"

For a while, Jia She was in a state of desperation, wishing to beat Jia Zhen severely.

At this moment, accompanied by Aunt Xue, Mrs. Jia's wife, came out surrounded by a group of maids.

They drink tea in the inner hall, and only come out to take a look when they hear the movement.

"Zhen'er...is the matter settled?" Mother Jia asked with a smile.

Kneeling on the ground with a "plop", Jia Zhen burst into tears and said; "Ancestor... grandson... grandson is a fool, a useless person!"

Seeing his appearance, the three of Jia's mother were shocked for a moment, knowing that something bad must have happened.

"What's going on, hurry up and tell me!!"

There was no way, Jia Zhen could only tell the situation again, so Jia's mother and the others were also shocked.

"This... how could it be so? Who is going to kill us?" Panicked, Jia's mother continued to stick on her crutches, and there was a loud "dong dong" on the scene.

"Old ancestor...you have to save me, if the thirteenth master gets angry, my grandson may even die!" Jia Zhen knelt down in front of Jia's mother.

There is no way, here is Jia Mu with the highest rank and the elder, Jia Zhen can only use her as a life-saving straw.

Mother Jia also knew the seriousness of the matter, and she was very anxious at the moment, but she couldn't think of a countermeasure for a while.

At this moment, Mrs. Xing suddenly said: "Old Ancestor, can you ask the eldest girl for help!"

The eldest girl she mentioned was Yuan Chun, which made Mrs. Wang very dissatisfied.

"Yuan Chun is trembling in the East Palace, like walking on thin ice, how can he manage these things!"

What she said was to protect her daughter, and by the way, she added trouble to Mrs. Xing, which made Mrs. Wang, who had been suppressed recently, very happy.

Mrs. Xing was about to distinguish, but she heard an exclamation from outside: "Master and Madam, someone is coming from the palace!"

"It's the father-in-law!"

Hearing this, everyone in Jia's family couldn't sit still, so they all went out to welcome them.

As for Jia Mu and other female relatives, they all waited inside the house, and it was really inconvenient for them to go out.

This was Deng An's third visit to Rongguo Mansion. Jia She and his son had already recognized him, so they immediately greeted him with poignant smiles.

"Eunuch Deng, why are you here!"

Deng An didn't have a good face, he only heard him snort coldly, and said: "Why I came here, you know better than me!"

Looking around at all the men in Jia's family, Deng An said coldly, "Where is Jia Zhen? The Thirteenth Lord has something to tell him!"

Hearing the greeting, Jia Zhen rushed to the front and bowed to Deng An: "Mr. Jia Zhen, pay my respects to Lord Thirteen!"

"Jia Zhen, Lord Thirteen said, if it wasn't for Miss Xue's face..."

"Your head... has moved!"

Deng An's harsh tone made Jia Zhen tremble with fright. Few people could remain calm when their lives were at stake.

"Thank you...thank you Thirteenth Lord, minister..."

Before Jia Zhen finished speaking, Deng An continued: "The Thirteenth Master said, I only give you three days..."

"After three days, if you can't give an explanation, you will decide the consequences yourself!"
