Gourmet Red Chamber: A Chronicle of Baochai's Rebirth

Chapter 77 Backstab
The governor of Shuntian then dismissed the accuser and said with a smile, "Mr. Zheng has always been upright and clear-minded.

Either the plaintiff wanted to extort some money from this matter, or it was done privately by family members. It is understandable that Mr. Zheng did not know the inside story.

Mr. Zheng might as well go home and search Madam Ling's private room. If there is nothing there, it would be best.

If you really find something important, just ask Mr. Zheng to remember me as a favor."

Jia Mu pondered for a long time and asked, "What do you mean by Shuntian Prefecture Yin?"

Jia Zheng was hesitant to say, but Jia Lian couldn't help but said, "Old lady, from my perspective, the Shuntian Governor has probably received a report.

Knowing that there was a lot of profit in the process, he suppressed the matter, talked about it with the master in private, and asked the master to come back to clean up the evidence."

Jia's mother was silent, and Jia Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, "If Mr. Fu Yin just wants to get some money, that would be easy."

Jia Mu hated that iron could not be made into steel, "Easy to handle? He wants to benefit from it. If you give less, he will definitely be dissatisfied. If you give too much, that will be a handle."

In the future, if he wants something from us and we don't allow it, he can threaten us again at any time! "

Jia Zheng was shocked, "Then mother, what should we do?"

Mother Jia sighed deeply, and the feeling of powerlessness came to her heart again. The Jia family was really in decline, and anyone would dare to bully them!

The eunuchs in the palace came to blackmail, and now even the Shuntian Mansion came to blackmail!
If the Duke was still here, who would dare!

As long as the Duke of Guo was still there, Wang would not dare to act like this, right?
She is old and can no longer control her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law——

Jia Mu paused in her thoughts, suddenly raised her head, and blurted out, "Do you think it was Yu Xin who was scheming for the sake of Rongxi Hall?"

Jia Zheng was stunned and Jia Lian panicked. He kowtowed and shouted, "Old ancestors, Cousin Yu has always been ruthless in his actions. If he really wanted to deal with our family, he would definitely not let it go so easily." .

Not to mention planning for a long time, just to make some money!
Not to mention that he is not short of money at all, even if he is short of money, he will not blackmail his relatives! "

"Right".

Mother Jia pondered and said, "Actually, as long as we find someone capable to suppress Shuntian Prefecture Yin, this matter can be easily solved.

Don't be anxious, I'll send someone in advance to call the two princes from the Shi family to come over and ask questions.

You brother-in-law Lin should be arriving soon. Let's first see if they have any friendship with Shuntian Fuyin.

Solving it with money is the last resort, but no, even if I try my best to beg Mrs.

Jia Zheng was sincerely convinced and said, "My mother is right. My son will send someone to the historian's house right now."

Jia Lian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, okay, okay, if the old lady really suspected that Yu Xin was plotting against Rongxi Hall and took Mrs. Wang to court, then he and Wang Xifeng would really have no place in this mansion!

……

……

In Xue Mansion, the first maid sent by Ping'er to report the news arrived.

Xue Baobao had already been reminded by Yu Xin and took her to see Wang Xifeng in person.

The maid didn't know the cause and effect. She only knew that Mrs. Wang said that Wang Xifeng had loaned money and wanted to search her house, so she complained to Wang Xifeng angrily.

Xue Baobao, "..."

What is brother doing? What kind of usury is this? Aren't you afraid that Sister Feng will be involved in it?

Wang Xifeng took action and immediately went back to seek justice.

Xue Baobao advised, "It takes half an hour to get here from Rongguo Mansion.

Even if you rush back immediately, what should have happened has already happened. It is better to wait and see how the situation develops before making a decision.

Besides, the innocent will be punished. If your aunt really searches your house regardless of her feelings, you will be able to control her better in the future."

My brother naturally has his own reasons for doing things, so she just needs to cooperate.

Wang Xifeng was so angry that her whole body was shaking, "That's not okay. If I really ask a group of servants to search my house, how will I see anyone in the future!"

She was talking about the arrival of the second maid sent by Ping'er, saying that Mrs. Wang had already escorted Qiang in.

Due to Ping'er's status, she couldn't stop him at all, so he had to send her to report the news, and also sent people to ask Jia Mu and Mrs. Xing to make the decision.

Wang Xifeng fell down on the chair. Just now Xue Baobao said that even if she rushed back immediately, it would be too late.

She was also aware of it, and she was just holding on to the chance, thinking that Mrs. Wang was her biological aunt after all, and she had always loved her, so she would never do anything too extreme, but she didn't expect that she would actually do it!
He didn't even send anyone to talk to her!

Xue Baobao looked at her expression and deliberately asked the maid, "Did you read that correctly? The second wife really broke in with the wives?"

The maid nodded hurriedly, "I can see it clearly. Sister Ping'er wanted to stop her, but she was pushed hard by a woman and fell to the ground.

Sister Ping'er held up her hands, and her palms were worn out. She didn't even bother to clean them, so she sent her slaves to report the news quickly, and then chased the second wife."

Xue Baobao pretended to be confused, "But this doesn't make sense. Even if the second wife suspected Sister Feng of loan sharking, she should have gone away quietly and secretly told Ping'er to burn all the relevant evidence!
To stir up a lot of people like this, and to barge in and search randomly, even if nothing is found, it will ruin Sister Feng's reputation! "

Rumors can't be said with certainty, and Wang Xifeng's powerful methods when he took charge of the family offended many people, so we don't know how it will spread by then.

The maid was unable to answer, but Wang Xifeng calmed down at this time and sneered, "I know why, it's just a guilty conscience!

There must have been rumors from outside that reached my ancestor’s ears, saying that the female family members of our house had loaned usury. She felt guilty and directly pinned the crime on me!

She also mobilized people to copy and pick it up, for fear that others would not know that I had loaned money, but she was just afraid that the ancestors would suspect her! "

Xue Baobao pretended to be surprised and said, "So that's it."

Lin Daiyu sneered, "Disgusting!"

Wang Xifeng also laughed, but tears rolled down her face, "Second Master also told me in the past that he told me not to get too close to my aunt, but I just didn't believe it.

If our biological aunts and nephews don’t help each other, how can we stand in such a big family?

Although I acted a little harshly, I was sincere to her and never dared to disobey her. I was even more considerate and considerate to Baoyu. She, how could she treat me like this? "

As Wang Xifeng could no longer bear it, she threw herself on the table and burst into tears. Lin Daiyu hurriedly stepped forward and stroked her back, advising, "Sister Feng, it is said that one learns from every experience.

After this experience, you can see clearly what a good person your aunt is.

The pure will be cleansed themselves. You didn't do such evil things. Even if she wanted to throw dirty water on you, she couldn't! "

Lin Daiyu gritted her teeth as she spoke, and Wang Xifeng was so sad and angry that she felt deeply helpless and panicked. Those who couldn't clear themselves up had to clear themselves up. She had let it go!

Although she had already stopped, she could always find evidence if she really looked for it. Who knows what the person who spread the word said!
If the target of the attack was really her, what should she do?What should Niuniu do?
Wang Xifeng really regretted it at this time, regretting that she should not have done such a bold thing for a few taels of silver.

She had no shortage of food and clothing in Rongguo Mansion. She also saved a lot of money through the help of the boss, which was more than enough to spend. What else was she coveting with that dirty money?
But the matter has come to this, and there is no point in regretting it. Ping'er is a maid after all, and her status is not enough, and Jia Lian is even more useless. She wants to go back immediately! "Sister Feng, I have sent someone to inform my wife and two brothers. Even if Sister Feng wants to go back, she cannot go back by herself.

Since your aunt dares to search your house in a big way, the old lady probably knows about it too.

Now the deal is done, they are the elders after all, and if you go back now, they will just say a few words of sorry, and even give you a hairpin bracelet to appease you, what can you do?You can't disobey your elders, right?

In my opinion, it would be better to wait for the two brothers to come back and go to Rongguo Mansion with my wife to seek justice for my sister."

Lin Daiyu nodded immediately, "Sister is right. Sister Feng, your house has been searched. There is no point in going back now. It is better to wait for the brothers to come back and have the support of your mother's family to speak with confidence!"

Mother’s family——support——

The unfamiliar words made Wang Xifeng burst into tears again, and she cried bitterly while holding Xue Baobao and Lin Daiyu.

She didn't deserve their wholehearted trust and help. If it was really found out that she was the one who loaned loan sharks, how would she face them?

While Wang Xifeng was weeping and regretting, Mrs. .

Mrs. Xue was furious and shouted that the bullying was too much. She also sent people to urge Yu Xin and Xue Pan to go home immediately and report to Mrs. Wang.

While they were cursing, Yu Xin and Xue Pan hurried back. Both of them were wearing official robes and had not taken off the sabers on their waists. They obviously rushed back immediately after hearing the letter.

Mrs. Xue suddenly felt like she had met the mastermind, and she took the two of them to talk about the matter again, and said angrily, "Brother Feng is the eldest daughter-in-law, and the old lady of the Jia family just picked it up when she said it was picked up. It is really too much of a lie!"
You guys send me to Wang's house right now. My sister-in-law and I will go to Jia's house together. We must seek justice for Brother Feng! "

Xue Pan returned to his true nature immediately and shouted, "What aunt are you still looking for? Just me and my eldest brother!"
Call directly to your door!I have to beat that old godly woman until her head is bloody! "

"Brother Pan, don't worry, and Madam, don't worry either."

Yu Xin said calmly, "I'll send someone to inquire about the situation first before leaving. I'll know what's going on so I won't be fooled by the Rongguo Mansion."

Xue Pan was most convinced by him and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes, brother is right. We'd better send someone to find out clearly."

Mrs. Xue also nodded, "Brother Xin is right, otherwise my sister-in-law would be too afraid to come forward."

Yu Xin went out to make arrangements, but about a quarter of an hour later he came in with Jia Lian.

It turned out that when Jia Lian saw that things at home had been settled, he sneaked out of the house and hurried over.

Jia Lian knew much more than those maids, and it was much more complete. He immediately told the story from beginning to end, exactly.

Everyone didn't expect this to be the cause and ending, so they couldn't help but fell silent.

After a long while, Wang Xifeng asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you really saying in front of the old lady that I was lending loan sharks?"

Jia Lian nodded bitterly, "No, I heard it with my own ears. Zhou Rui's family went to report that someone went to Shuntian Mansion to sue our family members for lending money outside.

The old lady asked, did you tell me which family member it was?
The second wife shouted that it was you, saying that she had heard it from the maid and mother-in-law a long time ago. She asked you, but if you didn't admit it, she believed you. It was really a thief shouting "Catch the thief!"
Even after she was caught with evidence, she kept talking about you, saying it was usury money she put together with you.

I actually don’t know what kind of grudge she has against us, but she wants to drag us into this! "

Jia Lian didn't know that Wang Xifeng had also lent money, and he was itching with hatred.

Wang Xifeng was silent and looked at Yu Xin subconsciously.

Yu Xin pondered and said, "The two princes of the Shi family have been trying to break away from the four major families in recent years and seek to go abroad, but they have been unable to do so.

This time it happens again. They are afraid that it will be too late to avoid them, so they may not reach out. As for Uncle Lin——"

Lin Daiyu stood up and said, "I will go home now and tell my father not to care about this matter.

It's not that others did something dirty, but it made us stink! "

Yu Xin smiled and said, "Sister Lin and Sister Feng have been together for a long time, and they have acquired some of Sister Feng's sharpness and decisiveness."

Lin Daiyu blushed and managed to maintain her momentum and said, "That's how it is, why do you need to make fun of me?"

Yu Xin stretched out his hand and bowed, "What my sister said is that it's my fault, so I'll trouble my sister to make a trip."

Lin Daiyu glared at him, turned around and ran away.

Xue Baobao smiled and said, "If anyone dares to take a second look at the majestic and vengeful commander of the Jinyiwei Commander Poppy, they will lose their eyes at least, or their family will be destroyed at worst.

Now there are still people who dare to stare at him. This is a heroine who has taken the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage. Quickly come up with a name, and the poppy embroidered spring knife will not kill the unknown people! "

Yu Xin didn't have time to take off the Xiuchun knife, but at this moment he flashed the knife threateningly, "If you dare to call me "Yu Meiren" again, be careful with your tongue!"

Lin Daiyu paused, turned around, spat at Xue Baobao, and ran faster.

After this commotion, the tense, sad and angry atmosphere in the room became much lighter.

Yu Xin said, "If neither Shi Hou nor Uncle Lin are willing to help, Rongguo Mansion will probably come looking for me.

So I don't have to show up today. Madam, you and your aunt should go to Rongguo Mansion to ask for an explanation.

I will wait at home, and when they come to ask me for help, I will naturally be able to ask Sister Feng to live in Rongxi Hall and completely control the affairs of Rongguo Mansion."

Mrs. Xue nodded convinced, "Okay, I'll go first and go to the palace to find my sister-in-law. You can rest at home and wait for the news."

As she spoke, she looked at Jia Lian again and sighed, "Second Master Lian, do you know now that husband and wife are one body and share weal and woe?"
It’s fine if the man’s family is romantic, but he must always respect his wife so that she won’t be taken advantage of.

What happened this time, if Brother Feng was at home, he would never let anyone bully you like this.

What's more, if it wasn't for your sister Lin's help or your elder cousin's ability, I'd like to see how you end up! "

Jia Lian was so ashamed that he bowed his head and apologized repeatedly.

Mrs. Xue went to Wang Xifeng again and persuaded, "Brother Feng, this couple has no feud overnight.

If your husband is wrong, just give him advice. You can't just hold grudges.

You also saw this time that at the critical moment, your biological aunt not only refused to help you, but also insisted on dragging you into the water, let alone the old lady.

In the end, only Mr. Lian helped you speak up and clear your name.

Listen to your aunt's words and don't be angry or vindictive anymore. The greatest blessing is that the young couple are harmonious and beautiful.

It would be even more of a blessing to have a few more children.

No matter what the Hall of Rongxi or the Central Government is, nothing is as good as yours.

If your cousin can get it for you, that would be the best. If you can’t get it, don’t think too much about it. It is most practical to live your own life well."
