Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 625 Confession
Qionghua sat there not daring to say a word.

She was not a fool and she saw clearly what Lady Jia meant.

This puts himself in confrontation with Wang Xifeng.

If Qionghua didn't know Wang Xifeng when she first entered the Jia Mansion, she might have been fooled by Grandmother Jia. But after all these years of experience, she has become a shrewd woman.

Therefore, when facing Wang Xifeng, she quickly realized the gap between herself and the other party, so she did not dare to even have the thought of competing with the other party.

When Jia's mother saw Qionghua lowering her head and keeping silent, she sighed in her heart: It's really like a piece of mud that can't be helped.

I had been thinking of helping her up, but I didn't expect her to be so weak that she didn't even know how to seize the opportunity.

Grandmother Jia was no longer in the mood, so she spoke a few more words reluctantly and then sent Qionghua away.

After Qionghua left, Grandmother Jia lay on the chaise longue with a frown, thinking about how to deal with Wang Xifeng.

She didn't know why, but as she thought about it, her thoughts began to wander and she couldn't help but think of mandarin ducks again.

If Yuanyang were still alive, he would always give me some advice. But now I don’t even have anyone to discuss things with.

Besides, Qionghua left Rongqing Hall and hurried back to her own courtyard. She sat on the bed and thought about it, but she always felt unsafe.

Others don't understand Wang Xifeng, but she has a deep understanding of her. This mistress of the house looks carefree on the surface and can get along with anyone, but she is actually very meticulous.

Wang Xifeng should know about my visit to Rongqingtang soon. With her personality, she should be able to guess what I talked about. If she suspects that I have bad intentions, my life will be in danger.

It wouldn't matter if I died, but what about my three children? Without their mother, they wouldn't be able to survive for long in this dangerous place.

After thinking about this, Qionghua made up her mind to go and confess to Wang Xifeng.

As for Lady Jia's side, Qionghua didn't take it to heart. The relationship between the first wife and Lady Jia was already very bad, and with this problem added to it, it wasn't a big deal.

Qionghua sighed, then stood up and walked to the small courtyard behind Rong Xi Hall alone.

Although Wang Xifeng made a lot of money and had great influence outside, she still lived in this small courtyard.

Because Wang Xifeng just didn't want to give up this yard.

Although this small courtyard is not big, it is located on the central axis, after Rong Xi Tang. Living here means that she is the orthodox one in Rongguo Mansion.

At this time, Wang Xifeng was at home urging Jia Ping to read.

Although Wang Xifeng could not read or write, she was very concerned about her son's education.

Not only did she invite a scholar to teach her son at home, but she also personally urged her son to memorize books and write in her spare time.

Jia Ping is also a good child. Although all her time is fully arranged by her mother, she has no complaints and completes the tasks assigned by her mother perfectly.

Wang Xifeng sat on a chair, looking at her son reading a copy of the Analects of Confucius with his head nodding, and a smile appeared involuntarily on the corner of her mouth.

This child is a gift from God to me and also my support for the rest of my life.

In this warm moment, Ping'er walked in.

She first looked at Jia Ping who was reading, with a smile on her lips, and then walked to Wang Xifeng.

"Grandma, Aunt Qionghua wants to see you."

Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment. As for the two concubines, Qionghua and Qiutong, Wang Xifeng usually just instigated internal conflicts between them. As for talking to them, she never did that.

And these two concubines were also very afraid of me, and they never came to my place. What happened today? The sun rose from the west?

"What is she doing here?" "Grandma, I heard from the people downstairs that Aunt Qionghua just came back from the old lady."

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng immediately understood what was going on.

"Our old lady has nothing to do."

Although Wang Xifeng seemed to be joking, there was a fierce look in her eyes.

You have to know that Wang Xifeng is different now than before. She has money and power now, and she is no longer satisfied with just living in this small courtyard.

But if Lady Jia didn't give the order, she, as the granddaughter-in-law, couldn't forcibly drive the second son's family out.

But if Lady Jia was no longer around, it would be easy to drive the second wife out.

Once this devilish idea appeared in Wang Xifeng's mind, it could never leave.

Wang Xifeng gritted her teeth, clenched her hands, then unclenched them. After a long time, she finally returned to normal.

"Ask her to come in."

After sending Ping'er away, Wang Xifeng ordered someone to take Jia Ping to the next room.

As soon as everything was arranged on this side, Qionghua walked into the room cautiously under the guidance of Ping'er.

After coming in, Qionghua immediately bowed to Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng took a sip of tea, then smiled and asked Ping'er to help Qionghua up.

"Why do you have time to come to my place today?"

Qionghua lowered her head and tremblingly told Lady Jia everything that had just happened.

Wang Xifeng put the teacup in her hand on the table, feeling even angrier.

However, Wang Xifeng did not show it on her face. Instead, she smiled and thanked Qionghua, and asked Ping'er to bring a set of headgear as a reward for Qionghua.

Qionghua tried to refuse in every possible way, but under Wang Xifeng's strong request, she reluctantly accepted it and then said goodbye.

After Qionghua left, Ping'er came up to Wang Xifeng and complained, "This old lady has nothing to do. We have already handed over the power of the housekeeper, why is she still nagging?"

Principal Wang Xifeng said, "Isn't it about Baoyu?"

Ping'er hesitated after hearing this, but finally said, "Grandma, we must not spread those rumors again in the future. The old lady is watching closely!"

Wang Xifeng nodded gently and said with a smile: "I have learned a lesson from this failure. I won't dare to do it again in the future. If I do it again, the old lady will peel off my skin."

Ping'er was relieved then, and went out to arrange dinner for Wang Xifeng.

After Ping'er left, Wang Xifeng clapped her hands gently, and immediately an old maid came in from outside.

After the old nanny came in, she lowered her head and stood respectfully beside Wang Xifeng, but did not say a word.

"Go and tell your master that the old lady in Rongguo Mansion can no longer tolerate me, and ask him whether he still wants us mother and son." Wang Xifeng said very calmly.

The old nanny looked up at Wang Xifeng, then lowered her head and walked out.

A smile appeared on Wang Xifeng's lips. As long as that enemy intervened, all her difficulties would be nothing.
