Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 613 Begging for mercy
Yuanyang frowned after hearing this.

Now Yuanyang doesn't want to have any contact with Rongguo Mansion.

Although she has been with Jia Mu for so many years, Jia Mu is indeed good to her, but she also repays Jia Mu with loyalty.

But now that she was Jia Rui's concubine, she was well-dressed and well-fed, but Jia's mother still wanted to use her as before, which made Yuanyang feel very uncomfortable.

However, Yuanyang is a very tolerant woman. She hid her little thoughts deep down and said calmly: "Tell the other side that I know about this."

After saying that, Yuanyang waved his hand, and Xiaogong's daughter withdrew.

However, the palace maid did not notice that Yuanyang looked at her back with such a gloomy look.

Besides, Jia Zheng had already come to visit Ningguo Mansion at this time.

Jia Zhen did not dare to neglect the actual head of the Rongguo Mansion, so she personally welcomed him into the main hall.

Next, both parties bowed separately, and then the host and guest took their seats.

"Good nephew, Baoyu did something stupid this time, and I have punished him, but you have to answer to the clan. I also admit it and ask the clan leader to be lenient and spare the life of the bastard." Jia Zheng was very humble. said.

"Uncle, although I want to show favoritism, so many clan members are watching. Even if our clan has tolerated it, the people in the capital and the world are still watching. What do you want me to do as the clan leader?"

Jia Zheng sighed, and then said: "During this period, things have been going on in our Rongguo Mansion. A few days ago it was about my eldest brother, and today it is about Baoyu. I don't know what kind of ghosts and gods I have offended."

Jia Zhen lowered her head and said nothing.

Jia Zheng had no choice but to pick up the sandalwood box he brought from the table next to him and push it in front of Jia Zhen.

"Please also ask the clan leader to consider the long-term relationship between our two governments and leave a way for that evil obstacle to escape."

Jia Zhen opened the box and took a look, and was shocked.

There is a light green jade Ruyi in the box.

Jia Zhen has also seen this Ruyi Jia Zhen, but it was during ancestor worship. Usually this treasure is always in the warehouse of Rong Guo Mansion.

"Uncle, what are you doing? Take it back quickly." Jia Zhen held the box in her hand and said politely.

When Jia Zheng saw Jia Zhen's look, he knew that the matter was half done, so he waved his hand and said:
"This thing has been in our house for a few years. Just leave it here and you can play with it."

After Jia Zhen heard this, the smile on her face became even brighter. He put the box away and then said:
"Let me tell you the truth. Baoyu must bear the consequences of this matter."

"My dear nephew, our clan doesn't have such strict requirements, right?" Jia Zheng asked tentatively.

Jia Zhen did not answer, but pointed to the sky with her hand.

Jia Zheng completely understood now. What his mother said was indeed true. This matter was handed down from above and Jia Zhen had to do it.

"Since that's the case, please ask my nephew to be a little more hands-on."

"Uncle, don't worry. You just send Baoyu over tomorrow. I'll arrange for a few useful boys to hit a dozen or so boards. Then I'll lock him up in the ancestral hall for a few days." Jia Zhen took other people's things. , naturally relaxed.

"Okay, since this is the case, I would like to thank my nephew. After this matter is over, I will treat my nephew to dinner."

Then the two chatted for a few more words, and Jia Zheng left.

After Jia Zheng left, Jia Zhen touched the box on the table with joy in her eyes.

In the past, Ning Guo Mansion sent things to Rong Guo Mansion, but he didn't expect that now he would also receive money back.

The next day, Jia Baoyu was taken out of Yihongyuan and then sent to Ningguo Mansion.

Jia Zhen summoned the clan members that day and reprimanded Jia Baoyu in front of everyone, and then ordered her servants to beat Jia Baoyu twenty times. Of course, these boards looked like they were hitting Jia Baoyu on the buttocks, but they actually withdrew their hands. Although Jia Baoyu cried out for his father and mother, he was not seriously injured.

The elders in the clan had also received good care from the Rongguo Mansion in the past few years, so although everyone saw that Jia Zhen was fooling the devil, none of them said anything.

Next, Jia Baoyu faced the fate of being imprisoned in the ancestral hall for seven days.

Of course, it is said that he was imprisoned for seven days. In fact, on the seventh day, Jia Zhen will enter the palace and report to Jia Rui. If Jia Rui calms down, Jia Baoyu will naturally be released. If Jia Rui does not calm down, Jia Baoyu will be released. I still have to stay in the ancestral hall.

The mandarin ducks in the palace finally met Jia Rui in the imperial garden on this day.

In fact, Jia Rui was just tired from working, so he stretched out his muscles in the imperial garden.

Unexpectedly, I met Yuanyang who had been lying in wait here for a long time.

Jia Rui still liked Yuanyang, a smart woman, so since he met her, he let Yuanyang accompany him to wander in the imperial garden.

In the Imperial Garden, spring is in full bloom.

Jia Rui and Yuanyang walked side by side among the greenery. Yuanyang's hand gently rested on Jia Rui's arm, which made the two of them become intimate.

"Your Majesty, I heard yesterday that something went wrong with Baoyu?" Yuanyang asked suddenly.

Jia Rui was not surprised by this.

The women in his palace naturally have their own ways of communicating with people outside the palace.

Jia Rui generally didn't ask about this matter. As long as they didn't convey military and state affairs, Jia Rui would let them go.

"Yes, this Jia Baoyu is becoming more and more useless. He even went out to drink during his mother's funeral, and even prostituted women."

When he said this, Jia Rui sighed repeatedly, as if he was disappointed with Jia Baoyu's degradation.

Yuanyang also sighed softly. Jia Baoyu used to play around with her sisters at home, but she didn't expect that they would all go outside now.

"Long live my Lord, can you spare him for once?"

After Jia Rui looked at Yuanyang, he asked with a smile: "Did Rongguo Mansion ask you for mercy?"

"Yesterday the old lady sent someone in to deliver a message to my concubine."

"Then what are you going to do with their family in the future?"

There was a hint of freedom in Yuanyang's eyes, "After doing this, I won't owe them anything."

Jia Rui raised his hand and touched Yuanyang's face, and finally pinched her chin with his hand and said, "For your sake, that's it this time."

After hearing this, Yuanyang's eyes were full of joy, and at the same time he felt that a heavy burden had been lifted from his body.

That night, Jia Rui had dinner with Yuanyang, but Jia Rui did not stay at Yuanyang's place to rest because he was busy with business.

After Yuanyang sent Jia Rui out of Qixiang Palace and returned to her room, she called over the maid who had sent a message to her yesterday.

"I have begged the emperor today. There is nothing serious about Baoyu. Please send someone to send a message to the old lady."

The maid bowed respectfully and withdrew.

At this time, the disgust in Yuanyang's eyes became even stronger, and she summoned a personal eunuch.

"When she sends the message, don't let her come back."
