Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 557 The fog still lingers
Jia Rui casually put aside his trust, and then said to Lao Li: "The emperor has no one to take care of him during this period. Send someone to keep a close eye on him, and others will make him suffer."

"Master, since the emperor has no one to take care of him, why not send him to Concubine Jing? Concubine Jing should take good care of the emperor."

Jia Rui thought for a moment and thought this was a good idea.

He was about to agree when he suddenly saw Lao Li's meaningful expression.

Jia Rui immediately realized that there was something fishy in this.

You must know that Concubine Jing tried every means to make her son ascend the throne. Now that she has sent the little emperor to her, I am afraid that the little emperor will not live long.

But isn't this exactly what you want?

This saves you having to do it yourself!

I just hope that Concubine Jing will be more gentle when doing things and not let the people below see any flaws.

"You slave is still a little quick-witted, so just do as you say." Jia Rui said with a smile.

Old Li kowtowed and went out to make arrangements.

At this time, Jia Rui was sitting in the room, still thinking about Aunt Zhen.

Jia Rui still has some doubts about Aunt Zhen. Did she really want to kill him because of her deep relationship with the emperor?

This is somewhat unjustifiable!

But Aunt Zhen did really well this time. Except for herself, Jia Rui didn't find any clues.

However, no matter how well Aunt Zhen conceals it, she can't stop Jia Rui from losing her temper.

"Zhen Wanfang has evil intentions and plots to kill the emperor. She is treasonous and treasonous to the Yi clan."

As Jia Rui's order came out, the Jinyi Army immediately took action. Aunt Zhen's natal family was in bad luck. From the eighty-year-old old woman to the child who could just walk, everyone was taken away. He got up and was thrown into prison.

This family that has been in the south of the Yangtze River for decades has finally come to an end.

There was a lot of discussion about this matter in the court, but no one came out to speak for the Zhen family.

The Zhen family should have been unable to save what happened back then, that is, Zhen Wanfang became Jia Rui's aunt, and then they had a way out. Unexpectedly, just how long ago, their family started to act like a moth again.

In addition, their family still has a huge amount of wealth, and everyone in the court is staring at this piece of fat. This time Jia Rui issued an order, these people had no scruples, and then pounced on it like mad dogs.

However, most of the Zhen family's wealth was stored in Jia Rui's bank, so although these people received some small benefits, the bulk still fell into Jia Rui's pocket.

After a month of such turmoil, the matter finally calmed down, but in the end Jia Rui still didn't figure out who the mastermind behind the scenes was.

Jia Rui stayed in the palace for nearly a month, and finally he could go home to rest.

He entered Prince Wu's Mansion surrounded by guards.

Although the current Prince Wu's Mansion is still modified from the former Duke's Mansion, many of the furnishings have become more like that of a royal palace.

For example, bright yellow, which is banned in other places, is very common here.

Moreover, there are significantly more eunuchs here than before. Many times the servants are driven to the outer courtyard and cannot take a step. Only the eunuchs can shuttle back and forth.

After Jia Rui came back, he first paid greetings to the old man and his wife. Seeing that they were both in good health, he felt relieved and then returned to Sanjie You.

Sanjie You is still as hot-tempered as she was before she gave birth.

At this time, she was instructing several maids to change his precious son's diaper.

"You guys, take a look. You didn't even do this, and you took it back? Are you trying to cover up my son's rash?" Jia Rui came in at this time, shook his head after listening to her words, and said: " If you think that diaper is bad, just use a new one!"

"What do you know? Those new cloths are hard and slippery, making the child uncomfortable to wrap them in." Third Sister You still had the same harsh tone as before.

For Sister You, Jia Rui had no other choice but to sit aside and watch them work.

After she finally finished tossing the baby, Sanjie You took a breath and then came over to take care of Jia Rui.

While delivering the tea to Jia Rui, she complained: "Why haven't you come back for a month? Which vixen in the palace has charmed you?"

Jia Rui took a sip of tea and sighed.

"Stop saying it. It makes people feel bad if they say it."

Third Sister You became interested. She sat on Jia Rui's lap like a baby, put her arms around Jia Rui's neck, and stared at Jia Rui with bright eyes, "Your Majesty, tell me, tell me."

Jia Rui was so entangled by Sister You that he had no choice but to briefly tell her what happened in the palace.

Of course, when talking about Aunt Zhen, Jia Rui showed great hatred.

After listening to Jia Rui's words, Third Sister You blinked and fell into deep thought.

She also couldn't figure out why Aunt Zhen was so crazy that she wanted to kill Jia Rui. She must know that Jia Rui was so powerful that he could become emperor soon, and then Aunt Zhen would not be able to afford a concubine.

Unless there is a greater benefit, this will make Aunt Zhen take risks.

As she thought about it, Sanjie You couldn't help but flash through her mind about how the little emperor recognized Aunt Zhen as his godmother some time ago.

If Jia Rui dies by then, Aunt Zhen will be the little emperor's godmother. With her previous relationship with Jia Rui, she will really be able to listen to politics behind the scenes.

However, these words were just Sister You's guesses, and she did not say them out, because she knew that with Jia Rui's intelligence, he must have thought of these, and there was no need for her to add fuel to the fire.

Thinking of this, Third Sister You changed the topic and started talking about some common things, especially the new things in Rongguo Mansion during this period.

As for why we talk about Rongguo Mansion, it is because Rongguo Mansion is the source of topics on Ningrong Street.

Of the three mansions on Ningrong Street, no one in Prince Wu's Mansion dared to gossip. Ningguo Mansion had been very quiet during this period, but only Rongguo Mansion was still as noisy as before.

"Baoyu in the mansion next door has a concubine. I heard her name is Sheyue or something."

After hearing this, Jia Rui felt a little strange, and then asked: "How come it's so fast? We just sent the attacker away some time ago, but within a few days we have Musk Moon?"

"Who doesn't know about their family's affairs? I'm afraid they can't hide it?"

"What did you say?" Jia Rui was a little surprised.

"I'm afraid I have something in my stomach." Third Sister You said with a smile.

After hearing this, Jia Rui suddenly realized that this was what happened.

But these were all people's private matters and he couldn't control them. The only thing he worried about was whether Lin Daiyu would be sad because of it.

Now Jia Rui regards Lin Daiyu as half a sister, and he still has some sincerity towards her.

Just when Jia Rui was thinking wildly, Qin Shun hurried in from outside.

This time Qin Shun barged into the room almost rudely, startling Sister You who was sitting on Jia Rui's lap.
