Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 520 Asking for help
Jia Mu then asked Yuanyang to move a chair and place it next to her.

"Princess, please sit down and talk."

Princess Gongshun took the opportunity to sit down. She was really tired along the way, so it would be good to sit down and rest.

As for the second prince, Mother Jia has no time to pay attention to him now, so the second prince can only stand beside his mother, holding the chair with one hand, which can be regarded as a support and can take a short rest.

"Princess, what's wrong with you? Are you in such a mess?"

Princess Gongshun sighed, then looked at Jia Mu and said: "Our family is in trouble, just like the Rongguo Mansion back then. We are afraid of being destroyed. Now we ask the Rongguo Mansion to save us out of the kindness of the past. The life of mother and son can be regarded as leaving a root for King Gongshun."

After hearing this, Jia Mu knew she was in trouble.

What kind of difficulties did their family encounter back then? They wanted to annihilate the family. Now that Prince Gongshun's palace is also experiencing the same situation, it means that there are big shots who want to destroy Prince Gongshun's family.

Today, the only person in the world who can take action against Wang Gongshun's family is Jia Rui from the Jia family.

But the Rongguo Mansion protected the person Jia Rui wanted to kill. Wasn't this against Jia Rui?

Even if Jia Rui treats Rong Guofu well and the two families still have some friendship, on such a big issue of right and wrong, Jia Rui will not be merciful to Rong Guofu when he is on the enemy's side.

The princess kept staring at Jia Mu's face from below. Seeing Jia Mu's face gloomy and her eyes gleaming fiercely, she knew that the old woman was not ready to help her family.

But in this capital, there is no other family besides Rongguo Mansion that can protect their mother and son.

If Rongguo Mansion didn't help them, the mother and son would have no chance of survival.

So the princess said softly: "Our two families have been friends for decades. There are some things that both your family and mine know, and the Rongguo Mansion will not feel good if it comes to light."

Jia Mu sat on it and glanced at the princess, then smiled softly and said, "Those little things are nothing compared to what happened today. What can you say about these things?"

Princess Gongshun felt a little angry when she saw that Jia Mu was confident, but in order to save her life, she still revealed her trump card.

"We, Prince Gongshun, have not been idle over the years and have saved millions of taels of silver. As long as the old lady saves the lives of our mother and son, all the money will be dedicated to Rongguo Mansion."

Jia Mu also hesitated when she heard so much money.

Although their Rongguo Mansion has recovered a bit now, it is still much worse than when Jia Daishan was around.

If this money is moved to their own home, their family will really be restored to its heyday.

Moreover, in the future, the Rongguo Mansion will be given to Jia She's family. Although her Baoyu is helped by her father, her second son also has grandsons and other sons, so not many of them will actually fall into the hands of her Baoyu.

If he can get this money, his treasure will be guaranteed.

So Jia Mu thought for a moment, and then said, "Well, you can take a rest in my yard first, and I will discuss it with my sons and give you an answer during the day tomorrow."

The mandarin duck standing next to her immediately came to Princess Dongshun and made a gesture of invitation.

Princess Gongshun nodded, stood up, took her son and followed Yuanyang out.

Looking at the backs of Princess Gongshun and Yuanyang, Mother Jia felt a little regretful now.

If she had known that King Gongshun was talking about this kind of thing today, she would have followed Princess Gongshun's wishes and sent away the mandarin ducks.

It's a pity that things have already happened, and there is no use regretting anymore. We can only make amends after the situation has passed. After about a stick of incense, Yuanyang returned to Jia Mu's room. She bowed first, and then stood beside Jia Mu without saying a word.

Mother Jia looked at the mandarin duck, and then said with a smile: "Don't spread this matter. When you get married, I will prepare a big dowry for you, old lady, to give you and your descendants a guarantee."

Yuanyang is such a smart person. When Jia Mu said this, she understood that Jia Mu was using money to seal her mouth.

As long as she doesn't tell Jia Rui about this, when she leaves Rongguo Mansion and marries Jia Rui Mansion, there will definitely be a large sum of money and a farm waiting for her.

Originally, Yuanyang was not prepared to hide this matter from Jia Rui, but after thinking about this huge wealth and his children in the future, Yuanyang still compromised.

"Don't worry, old lady, I didn't see or hear anything today."

Jia Mu smiled with satisfaction, and then told Yuanyang: "Go and call the boss and the second child."

Yuanyang lowered his head and left the room, then looked back at Jia Mu, but finally said nothing, and then ordered the little maid to go find Jia Zheng and Jia She respectively.

Although it was midnight, Jia Mu's words were still very effective in Rongguo Mansion. Without a stick of incense, two brothers, Jia She and Jia Zheng, appeared in front of Jia Mu.

As soon as Jia She entered the door, he asked impatiently: "Old lady, what are you doing in the middle of the night?"

Jia Mu did not speak, but gave Jia She a fierce look. Jia She immediately stopped talking and followed Jia Zheng to sit aside, waiting for Jia Mu to speak.

Just when the room was a little quiet and frightening, Jia Mu finally spoke, "Prince Gongshun's palace has been raided. It seems that Rui Geer's side will kill them all."

Jia Zheng was surprised after hearing this.

It's been quite peaceful in the court these days. What's wrong with the Duke? Suddenly they want to kill Prince Gongshun.

"Princess Gongshun and his second son just fled to our house and asked for asylum from our Rongguo Mansion, so I brought you here to discuss this matter."

This time it was Jia Zheng who said "ah" first.

Jia Zheng has also been in the court for a while, and he is considered a semi-real figure. Now he is much more realistic than the naive Jia Zheng before.

"Our family can't do anything about our mother. If Rui Ge'er finds out about this, will our family be okay?" Jia Zheng said impatiently.

The reason why he is so anxious is because he is doing well as an official and is considered a big shot in the court. In this case, he does not want his status in Jia Rui's heart to be affected because of this incident. .

Jia Mu looked at him and then said: "Princess Gongshun is ready to hand over all the savings that Prince Gongshun's palace has accumulated over the years in exchange for the lives of their mother and son."

"How much is it?" Jia She asked impatiently.

Mother Jia didn't even look at him, but said impatiently: "How much money can we have? It's almost the same as what our family has accumulated now."

"That's a lot." Jia Shele couldn't close his mouth.

Because he knew the current wealth of Rongguo Mansion. After scanning the warehouse, he could find out that there were five hundred thousand taels of silver.

If according to what mother said, with another four to five million taels, their spring savings in Rongguo Mansion would reach one million taels.

This does not include Lin Daiyu's dowry. Adding Lin Daiyu's dowry and Jia Mu's private money, this amount may be doubled.
