Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 583 Everyone has their own thoughts

After going to court, Jia She and Jia Zheng were speechless when they came outside the palace.

The relationship between brothers, which had been relatively manageable at first, was now cracked. Both of them looked at each other, speechless.

Finally, everyone got on the sedan chair and returned to Rongguo Mansion.

After returning home, the two of them couldn't help but go to Rongqing Hall to see Jia Mu.

At this time, Jia Mu didn't know what happened in Chaoshang. She was still talking happily to the maids beside her about She Yue, who was about to give birth.

She Yue is pregnant with the first child of her precious grandson Jia Baoyu. If this child is born, he will be the heir to Rongguo Mansion in the future, so Jia's mother cannot tolerate being unhappy.

As for Lin Daiyu, Jia Mu originally had hopes for her, but unfortunately Lin Daiyu's health has never been good and she is not suitable for pregnancy. For the sake of her granddaughter's life, she can only keep her temporarily until she can be reborn one day in the future.

At this moment, the little maid came in to report.

"Old lady, the eldest master and the second master are back from the next court, and they are waiting outside to ask to see you!"

Jia She smiled bitterly, and then said: "Old lady, I have been in the house these days and have not gone anywhere else. How can anything ridiculous happen?"

When Jia Mu saw the corners of Jia She's mouth raised slightly, and then heard Jia She's words, she felt a bad premonition in her heart.

"Let them in."

Jia She peeked at Jia's mother below, and saw the impatient look in her eyes, and felt angry.

Jia Mu was startled and asked: "What ridiculous thing have you done recently? Have you made such a fuss that everyone in the court knows about it?"

If something went wrong with the second brother, his mother would hurriedly comfort him and smooth things over for him, while she would only scold him.

"Then what does the emperor say?"

Jia Mu looked at them and saw something wrong with their faces, so she knew something must have happened in the morning.

The two brothers first saluted Jia Mu, and then stood on both sides with serious expressions.

"Then why are people impeaching you? You must have done something wrong."

So Jia She stopped rambling and said directly: "Mother, the censors impeached me because of the memorial I submitted some time ago to invite the crown prince."

"Yes, old lady, it is against etiquette for the censors to accuse me."

"What, did things take a turn for the worse?"

The two brothers looked at each other. Jia Zheng lowered his head and said nothing. Finally, Jia She could only come out and say:

"Is there anything going on this morning that could be detrimental to us?"

"Mother, this morning at court, seven or eight censors impeached me."

Soon Jia She and Jia Zheng entered the Rongqing Hall and saw Jia Mu lying on the imperial concubine's couch, with maids serving her snacks.

"What can the emperor say? He reprimanded me and then gave the position of Crown Prince to Jia Lian."

When he said the last sentence, Jia She could no longer control his smile.

Mother Jia was a little stunned at this time. She didn't expect that such a thing would happen. Can't her family decide to inherit the title?
However, Jia Mu came from a wealthy family after all, and she soon understood what the imperial envoy meant. This was a random inheritance from her own family, which affected the interests of other people. If the bastards from other families imitated this, it would not be a mess. ? After realizing it, Jia Mu sighed a little. She had miscalculated this time. She shouldn't have hurriedly submitted the memorial. She should have calmed down for a while and quietly handled the matter.

It's too late to say anything now. The emperor has already issued an edict, which cannot be changed. Unless Jia Lian commits some unforgivable sin, otherwise, her Baoyu will never be able to inherit Jia She's title in this life.

Mother Jia's eyes were a little dim, but she soon calmed down.

It should be said that Jia Mu also loved Jia Lian very much, but there was still a big gap compared to Jia Baoyu.

Now that Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu have irreconcilable conflicts, Jia's mother's heart naturally turns to Jia Baoyu's side.

She frowned and suddenly smiled, "In this case, it's because Baoyu is not blessed. It would be good for our Jia Lian to inherit the title, but it's a pity that he has been away from home and has no way to come back. Otherwise, we would be happy ”

Jia She and Jia Zheng looked at each other, but neither of them understood what Jia Mu meant.

Although they didn't understand what their mother meant, the two of them still agreed.

Mother Jia smiled and said: "Our family has reached this status now. There is no need to let the prince suffer outside for that little official. Boss, please give me another memorial and ask the emperor to transfer Jia Lian back. As for that official?" It doesn’t matter if you don’t.”

Jia She was very happy after hearing this. He also missed his eldest son very much. It would be good if he could take this opportunity to return to Rongguo Mansion. At least he would have someone to take care of many of his things.

During Jia Lian's absence, Jia She had no one to do a lot of things for him, so he lost a lot of fun, and also lost a lot of opportunities to eat, get cards, and extort antiques.

Now that my son is back, I can feel relieved again.

"Mother, I will go back and write a memorial right away." After saying that, Jia She left happily.

After Jia She left, Jia Zheng stood there and sighed before leaving.

Mother Jia naturally understood why Jia Zheng sighed, but instead of comforting her second son, Mother Jia's eyes were a little wandering.

After Jia Zheng came back, he told Mrs. Wang what had happened in the morning. Mrs. Wang was immediately shocked.

If this continues, won't his son lose the Rongguo Mansion? Moreover, his family will soon move out of Rongguo Mansion and become a common branch of the Jia family.

This is not possible, he has to find a way to let his treasure inherit the Rongguo Mansion.

But then I thought that my brother had no power and could not speak in the court. What could I do as a woman?

However, Mrs. Wang soon thought of the old Queen Mother Wang who was retiring in Longshou Palace.

Mrs. Wang has now become the backbone of the Wang family. Although the Wang family no longer has a court official, no one in the capital dares to look down upon Mrs. Wang alone.

Once any of the Wang family's children make any mistakes, the officials in the capital will mostly turn it into a minor matter for the sake of the Queen Mother Wang's face.

Now the one who can speak to her Baoyu is the Queen Mother Wang.

You might as well go to the palace to beg the Queen Mother Wang. No matter how much you say, Baoyu is related to the Queen Mother Wang by blood, so he is better than Jia Lian, right?
After making up her mind, Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief and her face became calm.

Jia Zheng was a little surprised when he saw Mrs. Wang was annoyed at first, and then her face became dull. He didn't expect that his wife's energy-raising skills surpassed his own.

It seems that I still need to read more books by sages and learn the truth from them, so that my face will not change even if the mountain collapses.
