Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 523 Intercession
Jia's mother saw Jia Dairu's hesitation, so she quickly persuaded him again: "I know that the Supreme Emperor treated Brother Rui very well. Without the support of the Supreme Emperor, our Jia family would not be what we are today. Now that Brother Rui is in power, You can’t miss the old love!”

This sentence spoke to Jia Dairu's heart. He had always believed that Jia Rui's ability to dominate the government and the public as he did today was inseparable from the support of the Supreme Emperor.

Although in Jia Dairu's heart, the Supreme Emperor was a bit foolish, and it was inconvenient for Zhongtai to hand over all his rights to his grandson, he could only hide such words in his heart, but could not say them out. After all, you can't get a cheap deal and still behave well.

This is also the reason why Jia Dairu has always felt guilty towards the Supreme Emperor.

"Hey!"

Jia Dairu sighed.

"I have already advised Brother Rui on this matter, but he doesn't listen to me. What can I do?" Jia Dairu seemed to be defending.

"Old brother, when things have reached this point, we have to miss our old friendship. Our family's arms are thin and we can't survive this day. But it's different for you. Why don't you take the two of us back? Could it be that Rui Ge'er is still here? Can I really cause trouble for you?" Jia Mu continued to puzzle.

In fact, Jia Dairu was a little moved just now. Now that he heard Jia Mu's words, he felt that it made sense.

In this way, he left a trail of incense for the Supreme Emperor, which can be regarded as worthy of the kindness the Supreme Emperor treated his family back then.

"Since you said so, it's settled. Let the two of them prepare, and then follow me back home."

After hearing this, Jia Mu's face was full of smiles. She stood up and said a deep blessing to Jia Dairu.

How could Jia Dairu dare to accept it? He quickly hid aside.

After that, Jia Mu asked Jia Zheng and Jia She to stay with Jia Dairu while she went out.

Yuanyang led Jia Mu to the house where Princess Gongshun was placed.

After arriving here, Jia Mu paused for a moment. She was a little hesitant to let Yuanyang follow her.

But then I thought about it, anyway, at the beginning, Yuanyang had already heard about the deal between her and Princess Gongshun. At this time, Yuanyang was not allowed to go in. Instead, she acted like a villain and simply took Yuanyang into the room together.

At this time, candlelight was still burning in the room, and Princess Gongshun and the second prince were sitting at the table, their faces full of sorrow.

The two of them were startled when they heard the sound of the door, and then stood up quickly. They saw Jia Mu walking in from the outside, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

Princess Gongshun didn't dare to hold her back now. When she saw Jia Mu coming, she quickly stepped forward to help her.

Jia Mu smiled and gave in. Seeing that Princess Gongshun insisted on doing this, she let her go.

Yuanyang entered the room, found a clean chair, wiped it with his handkerchief, and then let Jia Mu sit down.

Princess Gongshun and the second prince were too sensible to sit down, but stood respectfully.

Mother Jia glanced at the two of them, and then said with a smile: "I originally wanted to come to see you two during the day tomorrow, but the matter was urgent, so I came here in the middle of the night. Don't you blame me, an old woman?"

"Don't you dare, old lady, you have worked so hard for us. We are grateful from the bottom of our hearts. How can we dare to blame you!" the respectful princess said flatteringly.

Jia Mu nodded with satisfaction, and then continued: "You also know that although our family has some abilities now, I'm afraid it's not possible to protect you two." After hearing this, Princess Gongshun's face was full of disappointment, and she stood The second prince next to her was a little annoyed. He stepped forward and was about to say something, but was pulled back by the deferential princess with quick eyes and quick hands.

Jia Mu didn't seem to see the second prince's actions, but continued: "In this world, there is only one person who can protect you two. Now that person is in the Rongqing Hall of our home. You and I will go there in a while." Say hello."

Princess Gongshun heard what Jia Mu said and found someone who could protect her mother and child. She asked hesitantly: "I wonder which sir it is?"

Mother Jia smiled slightly, and then said: "This man has no official position, he is just a white man, but don't underestimate him. He is the only one in the world who can cure Jia Rui."

Princess Gongshun was not a fool. After hearing what Jia Mu said, her mind turned to many people, and soon she stopped at Jia Rui's grandfather, Jia Dairu.

So Princess Gongshun asked with surprise and disbelief: "Could it be the old man of Wu Guofu?"

"Who else could be there besides him?" Jia Mu said with some complacency.

Princess Gongshun was completely relieved, as long as Mr. Jia Dairu agreed to protect them. Although Jia Rui is vicious, there is nothing he can do to his mother and son.

"Thank you so much, old lady. In the next life, we, mother and son, will work as cows and horses to repay you." Princess Gongshun said with gratitude.

"I don't ask you to be a cow or a horse in the next life, I just ask you to do what you just promised us." Jia Mu said meaningfully.

Princess Gongshun immediately understood that Jia Mu wanted money.

However, it was impossible for her to give all the money to Jia Mu before the matter was completely settled, but at this time, if she did not use some to silence Jia Mu, things would be a little difficult to handle.

So she rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Our family still has about one million taels of silver saved at Shengchanglong Bank. I will write a note in a moment and you can just go and pick it up."

Jia's mother was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that King Gongshun would be so clever. He took advantage of the lamp and transferred his own money to Jia Rui's ticket number.

But that’s fine, as it saves me from taking out the money and depositing it elsewhere. I can directly use it to gamble on my eldest son Jia She’s mouth with three to four hundred thousand taels of silver. The rest will still be in my name until one day. If you're not here anymore, just ask Baoyu to pick it up.

"That's fine, but you have to remember, give me the remaining money as soon as possible, otherwise I can ensure your safety, and I can also find a way to destroy you." Jia Mu sat there and threatened lightly.

This money was very important to Jia Mu. She knew that she had to risk offending Jia Rui to get Princess Gong Shun's promise. If Princess Gong Shun failed to fulfill her promise in the end, Jia Mu would go completely crazy.

At this time, the respectful princess naturally agreed.

Then without saying anything more, Jia Mu took their mother and son out of the room and returned to the main hall of Rongqing Hall.

Entering inside, Princess Gongshun first saw an old man with a gray beard sitting in the middle.

It was immediately clear that this old man was Jia Dairu, the uncrowned king of the entire Jia family.

So he didn't dare to neglect, and took his son to Jia Dairu in two or three steps, and immediately knelt down on the ground.

"The man in trouble came to see the old man and asked him to save our mother and son's lives for the sake of our mother and son's suffering."
