Gourmet Red Chamber: A Chronicle of Baochai's Rebirth

Mrs. Wang said anxiously, "Then it won't work if I don't give it. If those ministers in the palace have great magical powers, if they are determined to cause obstacles for the empress--"

"If even a few eunuchs can trip up the queen, the situation in the palace will be worrying!"

Jia Mu took a breath, but she didn't say the next words - even now, those eunuchs dare to come to blackmail the mother's family, because the mother's condition is already worrying.

Even if those eunuchs dare to come to her Duke Rongguo's mansion, the situation in her Duke Rongguo's mansion is also worrying!

"Now Brother Xin is blessed with a holy family. If he is willing to protect the empress like a phoenix girl, the empress's favor will definitely rise to the next level, and she might even be able to get a prince by her side."

Mrs. Wang said anxiously, "Then I will go to Xue Mansion immediately and ask my sister to bring a message to Brother Xin!"

Mother Jia looked at her in disbelief, "Ask your sister to give Brother Xin a message? Didn't you offend my concubine enough that day? Do you think my concubine will still turn against you?"
Even if your aunt agrees to help, do you think Brother Xin can sit in the position of commander of Jinyi Mansion and help you like that because of a word from your incompetent aunt? "

Mrs. Wang retorted, "Feng Yatou is just his cousin, and I am at least his elder."

Mother Jia laughed at her stupidity and waved her hand, "I can't tell you clearly, let girl Feng come -"

Jia Mu suddenly stopped talking and Wang Xifeng left.

Mrs. Wang was unwilling to continue talking, and her roommate Zhou Rui's family hurriedly ran over from outside, rushed forward and cried, "Madam, this is terrible!
Someone goes to Shuntian Mansion to sue our master for condoning his family members' loan sharking!

Now that Shuntian Mansion has taken the master over, the master has sent someone back to ask the old lady for an idea! "

Jia Mu was so frightened that she trembled all over. She helped Yuanyang stand together and asked repeatedly, "What happened?
Where is the person who came to deliver the message? Come in quickly!Who are you talking about when we say that the family members of our family are borrowing money? "

The Zhou Rui family looked at Mrs. Wang hesitantly, and Mrs. Wang was so excited that she blurted out, "It's Brother Feng!"
At that time, I heard someone say in a daze that Brother Feng was making loan sharks.

I hurriedly asked, but Brother Feng said it was the mothers-in-law talking nonsense, and there was absolutely no such thing, so I left him alone. Could it be that Brother Feng was still lending money as loan sharks? "

Jia Mu was furious, "That's not bad, but Feng Yatou is too wanton!

The imperial law clearly states that expropriation for profit is a serious crime of confiscating a house!
How wronged she must have been when she married into our family!Could it be that she was short of money?He even dared to touch usury! "

It happened that Jia Lian also got the news and hurried over. After hearing this, he knelt down and cried, "My ancestors clearly noticed that although Brother Feng is smart and powerful, he is only in the inner house!"

She is a junior daughter-in-law who rarely goes out, so how can she afford usury?Someone must be trying to frame my couple! "

At critical moments, Jia Lian is still very capable of handling things. Husband and wife are one. If Wang Xifeng is not good, what good can he gain?

Jia's mother usually favored Wang Xifeng. After her anger, she felt that what Jia Lian said had some truth, and said hurriedly, "The right and wrong have not been decided yet, and I will never wrong Brother Feng easily.

Your second uncle is currently being detained in Shuntian Mansion, and I can’t do anything about it. You should go to Shuntian Mansion to have a look, and be sure to find out more about it before you reply."

Jia Lian hurriedly responded. Jia Mu calmed down and ordered someone to send a message to Lin Ruhai, asking him to go to Shuntian Mansion to inquire about it and then come to Jia Mansion to see her.

While Jia Mu was making arrangements, Zhou Rui's family kept winking at Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Mu without paying attention and walked aside.

Zhou Rui's family also followed him and said in a low voice, "Madam, those officials don't know who they found.

But now that the situation is critical, my wife hastily disposed of those loan coupons. If someone catches them, it will be a serious crime of confiscating the house! "

When Mrs. Wang lends usury money, naturally she cannot do it herself. She and her man do the errands for it.

If Mrs. Wang is really caught, the couple will not be able to escape!
Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth, "That's hundreds of thousands of dollars!"

"Madam, now is not the time to feel sorry for the money!

If the officials really get hold of the wife's evidence, what will happen to the empress and Mr. Bao in the future? "

When she mentioned her favorite pair of children, Mrs. Wang was shaken.

She would lend usury money, firstly to help Jia Yuanchun manage things in the palace, and secondly, to hide some private property for Jia Baoyu. If it really dragged them down...

Mrs. Wang was hesitant, and the Zhou Rui family wanted to persuade her again, but they heard Jia Mu calling Mrs. Wang.

"Take a personal trip with you, go to Feng Yatou's place and ask Ping'er.

If Feng Yatou really lends money, burn all the receipts and books immediately, don't be stingy with money."

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the order.

When Wang Xifeng was brought to Xue's house by Yu Xin, she followed Yu Xin's suggestion and detained the little girl who was running errands for Jia Lian and left Ping'er in Jia's house to look after the house.

When Ping'er saw Mrs. Wang coming fiercely with her maid and mother-in-law, she knew that something must be up to her. He sent someone to report the news to Xue Mansion immediately and went to greet her.

Mrs. Wang was irritated and panicked, and she had no patience to chat with her maid, so she asked Wang Xifeng if he had any loan sharks out there.

Ping'er naturally refused to admit it, and Mrs. Wang sneered. When Wang Xifeng started loan sharking, she was the one who "taught" Wang Xifeng specifically to win over Wang Xifeng. This damn girl actually dared to speak harshly!
She also knew that it was a serious crime for officials and their families to engage in loan sharking, so she was reluctant to burn her hundreds of thousands of silver, but Wang Xifeng's trouble had to be solved first!
It wasn't her money anyway, so she didn't feel bad if it was burned or destroyed.

If that person was accusing Wang Xifeng, and Wang Xifeng was caught with evidence, her aunt would also be embarrassed!

If Wang Xifeng were here, she would talk to her nicely and tell her to burn it quietly so that everyone could be decent.

But now that Wang Xifeng is not at home, Ping'er, a slave named Yangzi, dares to lie in front of her and even dare to argue with her. Naturally, she doesn't have to save face for a maid!

What's more important is that when the trouble breaks out, everyone will know that it's Feng Yatou who is lending loan money, so no one will suspect her.

Those gossips will not get to her, and the empress and Baoyu will not attract criticism!

Mrs. Wang gave Ping'er a contemptuous look and ordered a direct search.

On Wang Xifeng's birthday, Bao's second daughter-in-law told Jia Lian that she wanted Wang Xifeng to be put to death and Ping'er straightened.

Although Ping'er has nothing to do with it, Ping'er is not immune to the consequences.

Now, if she stayed in Jia Mansion to look after a house and had her house ransacked, she would not be able to see Wang Xifeng again!
Ping'er has always been a shrewd and powerful person. When he saw Mrs. Wang being violent, his own maid couldn't resist, so he quickly sent his maid to Xue Mansion to report the news.

He also sent his mother-in-law to go to Jia Mu and Mrs. Xing for help, while he followed closely with a few maids. People who did not ask Mrs. Wang searched randomly while crying and complaining.

Since Wang Xifeng obtained the way for the Xue family to make money, she has already put an end to all lending matters.

Of course, Mrs. Wang couldn't find anything, but she was unwilling to give up and took Ping'er with her to Jia Mu's courtyard.

I didn't want to see Jia Zheng and Jia Lian kneeling in front of Jia Mu as soon as I entered the house. I couldn't help but feel happy. The master is back, so everything should be fine!

Fortunately she didn't listen to the Zhou Rui family, otherwise she would have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars!
She couldn't help but quicken her pace in surprise, and knelt down next to Jia Zheng. Just as she was about to speak, Jia Zheng suddenly straightened up and slapped him across the face!Jia Zheng's slap was so hard that Mrs. Wang stumbled backwards, and the back of her head hit the floor hard with a thud.

For a moment, Mrs. Wang was completely confused and couldn't even feel the pain.

The Zhou Rui family screamed and rushed forward to help Mrs. Wang, and then Mrs. Wang felt the pain.

My ears were buzzing and my mouth was filled with a fishy sweet taste. I thought I had bitten my tongue. The back of my head hurt so much that I didn't know what the extent of the injury was.

Although Jia Zheng was the one who hit the person, his expression was more shocked and painful than Mrs. Wang's, his eyes were red and his whole body was shaking. He pointed at Mrs. Wang and scolded, "Stupid woman!
How dare you put usury outside!Do you want to kill the whole family? "

Mrs. Wang came to her senses, endured the pain and defended, "I didn't! Master, we are a husband and wife, how could you listen to outsiders' rumors and accuse me of such a crime!"

Jia Zheng picked up the box at hand and threw it at Mrs. Wang, hitting Mrs. Wang's forehead right in the middle. A bloody hole was made immediately, and bright red blood flowed down Mrs. Wang's hair.

At the same time, the white bills in the box flew like paper money in front of Mrs. Wang's eyes.

It's a coupon!

She put usury notes!

Searched by the master!
When she was ransacking Wang Xifeng's house, the master also ransacked her house!
"Foolish woman! You still want to quibble! See for yourself what this is! The centuries-old reputation of the Duke of Rongguo has been lost in your hands!"

Jia Zheng said and wanted to slap her again. Seeing that she had no excuse, Mrs. Wang threw her head up and fell into Zhou Rui's arms, fainting!
Jia Zheng made a move. Jia's mother was old and mature. She didn't know Mrs. Wang's tricks, but she didn't want to see her son continue to beat his wife.

He had no choice but to ask Jia Zheng to burn the account books and loan coupons first, and then ordered Zhou Rui's family to send Mrs. Wang back and ask the doctor to take a look.

As soon as Mrs. Wang heard Jia Mu's instructions to burn the loan coupons, she immediately pretended to wake up, kowtowed and cried, "Old lady! You can't burn it!"

Hundreds of thousands of silver!My wife’s love for many years has been put in it!

Now that it's burned, what if the empress is in trouble and Baoyu wants to buy a book or painting? "

Seeing her stubbornness, Mother Jia said bitterly, "How dare you talk about the empress and Baoyu! At this time, you are still thinking about that little money!"

Don’t even think about how the empress and Baoyu will see each other in the future if the matter really spreads! "

Mrs. Wang cried even louder, "Old lady, you don't know how expensive oil and rice are when you are not a householder!
The empress has been in the palace for so many years and has never been able to get ahead. I don’t know how much I put in to take care of it!

Even gems love fine and beautiful things. Today I want an agate bowl, and tomorrow I want a crystal dish.

But he has a generous and easy-going temperament, and he will do whatever he can. Even if the maid falls, he will not show any pity to her. The day after tomorrow, she will be thinking about ivory chopsticks again!

The master doesn't care at all. How can I, a mother, bear to see my children being wronged and using all my own dowry!

When I got married, my mother's family subsidized a lot of things, and now the subsidies are almost the same.

Not to mention the empress and Baoyu, even our family has not been as good as before in recent years.

It's all up to Brother Feng and I to lend money outside and earn some money to subsidize the public school, otherwise we would have been unable to make ends meet! "

Jia's mother scolded angrily, "Don't think I don't know. When you were in charge of the family, you secretly harmed the public and enriched yourself, and you didn't know how much money you spent.

I was worried about the dignity of you and my second son, so I kept it quiet. Now you feel aggrieved and are subsidizing the public middle school. You really think I am an old fool! "

Mrs. Wang risked her life for those hundreds of thousands of silver and refused to give in. "If it is really like what the old lady said, why did I immediately hand over the gift to Brother Feng after Brother Feng came in?"

Jia Lian was fluent in her native language, and Jia Lian listened to her chatting with Wang Xifeng, apparently trying to drag Wang Xifeng into the water, which made the old lady wary and did not dare to punish her too much.

At this time, Jia Mu stopped talking, fearing that Jia Mu would turn her anger onto the couple, she cried loudly, "Old lady, you know what you're doing!"

Obviously nothing was found in Brother Feng's house, but everything was found in the second wife's house!

That's it, the second wife keeps trying to catch Brother Feng!

The grandson is a junior, and he does not dare to tell the second wife's foul mouth.

I just ask the second wife to let Brother Feng go for the sake of Brother Feng being the niece and nephew-in-law of the second wife, and because Brother Feng is usually filial to the second master and the second wife!My nephew kowtows to you! "

As he spoke, Jia Lian kowtowed to Mrs. Wang with a bang. Jia Zheng hurriedly went to help her, but Jia Lian refused to get up, and kowtowed to him again, begging him to let Wang Xifeng go.

Jia Zheng was a man who didn't care about anything and cared about his face. Today, when he suddenly learned of Mrs. Wang's evil deeds, he was already ashamed, angry and annoyed.

Now Jia Lian's loud kowtow sounds were like slaps one after another, mercilessly slapped on his face!

This poisonous woman!

I still want to drag others into trouble!

In anger, Jia Zheng slapped Mrs. Wang again, "Stupid woman! You disrespect my mother and dare to talk back to her in front of me!

He is even more disrespectful to the younger generation, and at this time, he still wants to talk to his own niece!
I even want to use the empress and Baoyu as a fig leaf for you!Your empress and Baoyu have both lost their faces!
If you dare to behave nonsense again, believe it or not, I will divorce you! "

When Mrs. Wang saw that he did not defend herself at all, but instead spoke for outsiders, and even dared to say that she wanted to divorce herself, she felt angry, angry and sad, so she threw her head up and fell back.

This time I was really dizzy!

Jia's mother was so distressed that she asked people to get them out immediately, ordered a brazier to be lit, and ordered Jia Zheng to burn the loan account books with his own hands.

Jia Zheng said with hatred while burning, "Mother, that stupid woman has caused such a big disaster. I care about the empress and Baoyu in the palace, so I can't divorce her."

From today onwards, I will ask her to move to the Cuicui Temple in the Grand View Garden to chant sutras and pray for the empress! "

Jia Mu nodded tiredly, "It's better to send him away to avoid the limelight first. Then you can tell me the situation at that time."

Jia Zheng said it carefully again.

Today, he went to the Ministry of Industry to make money as usual. At noon, the yamen from Shuntian Mansion suddenly came to pick him up. He only said that the family members of Jia Mansion had been sued by Shuntian Mansion for loan sharking.

He hurriedly sent someone back to report the news, and followed the government officials to Shuntian Mansion.

However, the governor of Shuntian did not hold a court hearing. Instead, he invited him to the inner hall and asked the accuser to present his case one by one and present evidence.

Hearing this, he felt a turmoil in his heart. He already believed [-]% of the truth, but he did not dare to admit it. He only said that he would ask Mr. Fu Yin to conduct a thorough investigation. This person must be a false accusation.
