Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 610 Threat and Test
However, Wang Xifeng was not anxious at that time because she had Jia Rui behind her, and she did not believe that Jia Rui could not see the suspicion.

As long as Jia Rui sees the doubts, he will definitely take measures to restore his son Jia Ping's status.

Sure enough, news came from people outside today that Feng Chengcan, the Minister of Punishment, came to the house in person and wanted to take away Mrs. Wang.

Hearing this, Wang Xifeng was satisfied. In this way, both the eldest and second eldest families were tainted, and in the end the title would have to fall on their eldest family according to inheritance.

But Wang Xifeng was not happy for long. News soon came from the other side that Mrs. Wang had died of cold.

After Wang Xifeng heard this, she was so angry that she smashed everything in the room.

She is not angry with others, but with Jia Mu.

Unexpectedly, Jia Mu still preferred the second bedroom at the last moment. Her wholehearted service over the years was completely ignored.

But Wang Xifeng calmed down quickly. No matter how much your Jia Mu supports the second wife, doesn’t the final decision still lie with my man? I don't believe that my man would give his title to an outsider.

Just when Wang Xifeng calmed down and prepared to tell Jia Rui the news, Ping'er walked in from outside.

When she entered the room, without even looking at the broken porcelain on the floor, she walked directly to Wang Xifeng and whispered:
"Grandma, the old lady wants you to come over."

Wang Xifeng's eyes flashed, and she seemed to understand something. A sarcastic smile appeared on her lips:

"Change clothes, let's go meet the old lady and see what she can say?"

After Ping'er quickly helped Wang Xifeng change her clothes, the master and the servant went straight to Jia Mu's Rongqing Hall with seven or eight maids.

Arriving in front of Rongqing Hall again, Wang Xifeng paused and asked, "Where is our second master?"

"Maybe the second master is waiting for news at the Rongxi Hall?" Ping'er said with some uncertainty.

"Haha, what news can he get in Rongxi Hall? When he gets the news, I'm afraid his hundred or so kilograms have been sold." After Wang Xifeng said this, he walked into Rongqing Hall.

The maid at the door saw Wang Xifeng coming and quickly opened the door curtain to let her in, while Ping'er could only wait outside.

Wang Xifeng still bowed respectfully to Jia Mu as before, and then asked with a smile: "Why did the old lady call me here at this time?"

At this time, Jia Mu no longer had the kindness of the past, and her face was serious.

"You also know what happened in the past two days, right?"

After Wang Xifeng's eyes flashed, she still said with her signature smile: "The house is in such a mess, how could I not know? But I, a granddaughter-in-law, am not qualified to inquire around, I can only make random guesses in the house. "

Jia Mu sighed, and then said: "The boss failed to live up to expectations. He drank and had fun and played with women during the Queen's filial piety. The Emperor blamed it. He is now in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. I am afraid that this title cannot be kept. "

Wang Xifeng blinked, lowered her head and said, "The eldest master made a mistake, doesn't he still have a heir apparent?"

"I'm confused. Since the boss made a mistake, how can Lian Er still inherit the title? I'm afraid this title will no longer be with your eldest brother."

Wang Xifeng immediately understood what Jia Mu meant. She wanted to support her second wife!

At this critical moment, Wang Xifeng lost her usual obedience. She raised her head, stared at Jia Mu with firm eyes and said:

"If we talk about making mistakes, the second roommate's faults are no less than those of our first roommate. If this is revealed, I'm afraid it will be a mess in the end."

After saying this, Wang Xifeng showed a smile, which meant that he was sure of victory.

Jia Mu also thought of this. After all, Wang Xifeng has been in charge of Rongguo Mansion for so many years, and no matter the big or small matters in Rongguo Mansion can escape her eyes. However, Jia Mu still did not take Wang Xifeng seriously.

Although Wang Xifeng is capable, in this feudal dynasty where filial piety governs the world, nothing can escape the word "filial piety".

"I'm old and can't stand the trouble anymore. As for the title, I'm ready to let the second wife take over. As for the elders, don't worry, the 70% of the wealth of Rongguo Mansion that I promised you before will still be given to you."

Jia Mu made her final determination and made her final concession.

But how could that little money get into Wang Xifeng's eyes?
Now the Rongguo Mansion can no longer make ends meet. Can you live such a luxurious life? Doesn’t it all depend on yourself?
The little money in the Rongguo Mansion's warehouse now is probably not as much as his own annual income.

It is a fool's dream to think that you can spend your time with this little money.

Mother Jia didn't know what Wang Xifeng was thinking, and thought Wang Xifeng had already acquiesced, so she added, "You ask Jia Lian to make a memorial. One is to admit his mistake to the emperor, and the other is to resign as heir apparent."

Wang Xifeng chuckled lightly, "The royal title is not something that can be bought in the market. Our family can't decide it. From my granddaughter-in-law's point of view, we should let the emperor decide everything."

After Jia's mother was stunned for a moment, she looked up at Wang Xifeng and said, "Don't worry about it. If we continue to make trouble, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay at Jia's house any longer."

Hearing Jia Mu's threat, Wang Xifeng didn't care at all, "I didn't violate the seven-out rule? Besides, even if I violated the seven-out rule, wouldn't there be three more reasons why I won't go out?"

These seven items are serious restrictions on women in ancient times. They say: the first is childlessness, the second is promiscuity, the third is disobedience to parents, the fourth is talkative, the fifth is stealing, the sixth is jealousy, and the seventh is serious illness. .

If these seven articles are violated, the husband can divorce his wife.

But the feudal dynasty also made a final guarantee to women, that is, they would not leave.

One is having something to gain and nothing to gain, the other is being mourned for three years, and the third is being poor and humble in the past and rich in the future.

Among these three things, Wang Xifeng really has one.

That is the third article, first poor and then rich.

Although the Rongguo Mansion always seemed glorious, Jia She was just a first-class general in the past, but now he is Rongguo Gong, and Jia Lian was just a concubine in the past, but now he is Rongguo Gong's heir apparent.

It can make sense after calculation like this. Of course, making sense is a strong statement.

Jia Mu chuckled and said, "Haha, your aunt just passed away. You should go and see her."

Wang Xifeng frowned fiercely. This sentence was meaningless and abrupt.

But Wang Xifeng immediately understood what it meant. Mother Jia was threatening herself!

Wang Xifeng would still be scared before, but now there are more than a dozen spies beside her, all of whom are for Wang Xifeng's safety.

She didn't believe that Jia Mu could escape the spy's heavy surveillance and kill her.

So Wang Xifeng still maintained the superficial etiquette, bowed to Jia Mu, and then said: "Then I will leave first."

After saying that, Wang Xifeng turned and left the room, leading the maids straight to Mrs. Wang's place.

Mother Jia's face was gloomy at this time. She did not expect that Wang Xifeng, a person who had always been obedient, would dare to disobey her.
