Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 524 Take a breath for now
Jia Dairu knew that the person kneeling in front of him was the respectful princess, so he quickly stood up and helped her up, then sighed and said:

"Don't blame our Brother Rui for making you suffer. He was not forced to come here."

When Jia Dairu spoke, he stared at Princess Gongshen closely.

At this time, the respectful princess' face was full of gratitude, "Don't dare, as long as we can spare the lives of our mother and son, it will be a great grace. I will make a memorial tablet for Wu Guogong's longevity at home, and bless him for generations to come. ”

Jia Dairu nodded with satisfaction, "Okay then, just pack up and go back to Wu Guofu with me. No one can hurt you when you get there."

Princess Gongshun hesitated for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "Old Master, can you just let us live in Rongguo Mansion?"

Jia Dairu said nonchalantly: "If you find it inconvenient, it will be the same if you live in Rongguo Mansion."

Jia Mu who was standing next to her jumped up and down anxiously after hearing this. The respectful princess used to be quite smart, so why is she so confused now?
You must know that if they were under Jia Dairu's nose, Jia Rui would not dare to act recklessly even if he had great courage.

But if they lived in Rongguo Mansion, how could they save the mother and son with the power of Rongguo Mansion.

If I can't get the money by then, won't all my arrangements be in vain?
So she quickly took a step forward and said: "There are too many people living in our Rongguo Mansion, and some of them cannot be accommodated. It is better to go to Wu Guo Mansion."

Princess Gongshun also reflected now and immediately said remedially: "Yes, yes, yes, I was confused just now. I will take my son to Wu Guofu and serve you day and night."

Jia Dairu smiled coldly, and without saying anything else, he ordered Jia Zheng to take the mother and son and leave with him.

After arriving outside, Jia Dairu naturally got on his sedan chair, but Princess Gongshun and the second prince did not have this treatment. They could only follow the sedan chair, surrounded by a group of servants and maids, and returned to Wu. National government.

After coming back, Jia Dairu explained a few words to the housekeeper and asked someone to prepare a small courtyard for Princess Gongshun and the second prince, and then returned to the back house.

Not to mention that Princess Gongshen has temporarily settled down, and Jia Rui in the palace is stomping back and forth in the Yangxin Hall.

It was already dawn, and there was still no news about the respectful princess and her second son, which made Jia Rui feel a little uneasy.

This won't make this guy really run away, and there won't be another "Zhu Third Prince" among the people in the future.

It was getting brighter, and Jia Rui was having breakfast under Aunt Zhen's service.

At this moment, Qin Shun slipped in from the outside and took a peek at Jia Rui, who was eating his meal sadly. He was a little undecided and didn't know whether he should go up and report it now.

At this time, Jia Rui threw the chopsticks on the table and glanced at Qin Shun displeasedly, "If you have anything to do, just tell me, my mother-in-law acts like a sissy."

When Qin Shun saw that Jia Rui was unhappy, he didn't dare to hesitate at all. He immediately stepped forward and gave him a thousand dollars, and then said, "Go back to the master, there is news about those two people."

After hearing this, Jia Rui immediately stood up excitedly, stared at Qin Shun and asked, "Have you caught anyone?"

Qin Shun opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and finally lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.

Jia Rui angrily stepped forward and kicked Qin Shun, "You useless slave, what's going on?"

Qin Shun lay on the ground again, and then stammered: "According to my inquiries, the pair of evildoers have fled to Wu Guofu. I don't dare to act recklessly there, so I came back and reported to the Duke."

When Jia Rui heard this, he was stunned at first, and then became furious. He stepped forward and kicked Qin Shun again.

"You bastard, you dare to slander Wu Guofu. You know my family. How can I protect these two people?" Qin Shun lay on the ground and did not dare to resist. He was kicked by Jia Rui more than ten times.

Lao Li, who was standing by the side, saw Qin Shun's head being beaten and bleeding, and he felt so beautiful that he wanted to go up and add fuel to the fire, but he soon felt something was wrong.

Qin Shun is also an old man, how could he make such a low-level mistake?
The mother and son must have really escaped to Wu Guofu, and I don't know what twists and turns there are, so it's better to remain silent for now.

Jia Rui kicked him more than a dozen times and finally felt a little relieved. He sat back on the chair and drank the mung bean porridge sent by Aunt Guozhen in one gulp.

"what is going on?"

After hearing Jia Rui's question, Qin Shun hurriedly lay down, and then said: "Go back to the master, according to the information of the children, the mother and son first fled to Rongguo Mansion, and then met under the recommendation of the old lady of Rongguo Mansion. Our old lady probably didn’t want to save face, so he brought these two people back to the house.”

When Jia Rui heard this, he was so angry that he threw the cup in his hand to the ground.

Such a good Mrs. Shi actually ruined her own important task. Did she eat her ambition or was she a leopard?
Jia Rui stood up suddenly and wanted to send an order to raid the Rongguo Mansion, but Aunt Zhen beside him gently pulled Jia Rui's sleeve.

Jia Rui turned his head sharply and stared at Aunt Zhen fiercely.

As if nothing had happened, Aunt Zhen said softly: "Uncle, don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face. After all, we are an ancestor. Can you really do anything to Rongguo Mansion?"

After Jia Rui heard this, he immediately thought of the old man in the mansion. If he really wanted to take action on Rongguo Mansion, the old man would not let him go.

Jia Rui didn't care if he asked the old man to hit him a few times. He was afraid that if the old man got angry or excited, he would regret it if something happened.

Finally, Jia Rui sat down on the chair again in despair.

Aunt Zhen signaled to the maid next to her, and a maid immediately stepped forward to pick up the tea cup Jia Rui had thrown down. At the same time, a cup of freshly heated tea was delivered to Aunt Zhen's hand.

Aunt Zhen brought the tea to Jia Rui, and then said: "Uncle, we have plenty of time, there is no need to argue with them now."

Jia Rui nodded silently, took Aunt Guo Zhen's tea cup, and then said to Lao Li beside him:

"I remember yesterday I approved the memorial for Jia Zheng to join the cabinet. Has the memorial been sent to the cabinet now?"

"Go back to my master, it has been sent to the cabinet."

"Catch me back immediately."

After hearing this, Lao Li quickly bowed his body and exited the Yangxin Hall.

After coming outside, Lao Li thought about his interactions with Jia Zheng during this period, and was relieved when he found out how much money had been confiscated from him.

From now on, I will not be able to collect anything from Rongguo Mansion, otherwise I am afraid that when their family is unlucky in the future, I will be hurt.

After that, Lao Li went to the cabinet.
