I am cultivating immortality in the Red Mansion

Chapter 62 Inquiry
Fu Ling was finally persuaded by Jia He.For no other reason, the lady was frozen motionless on the bed, which made her very anxious.Whenever there was a slight possibility of saving Madam, she had to give it a try.

The two of them had made a decision and were about to go to the cousin's wife's residence when Fu Ling suddenly saw a figure and hurriedly leaned over to Jia He's ear and said, "Girl, that is my cousin's wife."

Jia He was small, so his field of vision was naturally not as wide as hers. He followed the direction she pointed and noticed the graceful walking figure.Although she is middle-aged, my cousin Cui's facial features are beautiful and she wears makeup lightly, giving her a beauty that transcends her age.Moreover, she has good looks and looks swaying as she walks.

Seeing Mrs. Cui walking towards the insect garden, Jia He simply stopped and waited for her nearby.

Cui didn't pay much attention to the little girl not far away, but the maid next to her reminded her softly that Poria was coming, so she looked over there.Then I saw Yuxue’s cute little girl.

"Hey, who is this?" Mrs. Cui waved her fan and moved lightly with lotus steps. She walked up to the two of them and looked at the little girl with her eyes lowered.Seeing that the girl was well-dressed, and the red coral beads wrapped around her hairpin were even more precious, she quickly suppressed her contempt, raised her eyes and asked Fu Ling, "I don't know which one it is." The girl from the guest’s house?”

Poria cocos blessed her body and she didn't say anything.

Jia He said with a smile: "My surname is Jia." He briefly explained her origin.

Cui's eyes sparkled.She knew the most prestigious families in the capital, and knew that the girl in front of her could not afford to offend her, so she nodded and said with a smile: "I heard that someone came to my insect garden, so I came here to take a look. I never thought it was from the Jia family. Girl, it's better to hear it than to see it." As he spoke, his eyes turned to Jia Luo again.

Seeing that Ms. Cui was straightforward and acted frivolously, Jia He smiled and asked her: "I think these insects are very interesting, and I want to ask you about how to raise them. Is it convenient for you to talk to me?"

If it were someone else's child, Ms. Cui would definitely be too lazy to take care of it. After all, her cousin-in-law's family was extremely wealthy.But the Jia family should not be underestimated in the capital. Even though the relationship between the two families was not good, she still nodded with a smile.

Poria hesitated to speak to Mrs. Cui, and after a moment she said: "Cousin, Miss Jia is a guest specially invited by the master to visit his wife." She deliberately emphasized the words "master" and "ma'am".

Cui Shi nodded carelessly.

Fu Ling didn't know if she understood or not, so she followed behind uneasily.

Jia He and Cui went to a small hall nearby, and Poria was guarding outside the room.

The small hall is next to the insect garden. There is only a table, three chairs and another small table in it. There are no decorations. There is only a pot of green plants in the corner. It is obviously set up as a temporary resting place.

When Jia He entered the house, he closed the door tightly, isolating Fu Ling's nervous eyes from outside the house.

"I usually take care of the insect garden for a while and then I take a break here to have a cup of tea." Ms. Cui smiled and shook her fan: "This place was specially opened for me by the prince. There was no such land originally, so it was built." She held out the round fan in front of Jia He: "The prince also bought the round fan for me. It was very hot some time ago, so the prince gave this one to me. Do you think it looks good or not?"

Jia He didn't expect Cui to say such words.

Logically speaking, when I heard that outsiders were coming to visit my cousin who was seriously ill, I should talk about topics related to my cousin.This was not the case with Ms. Cui, who talked about all the good things her brother-in-law was doing to her.

This confirmed what Jia He had guessed from the words blurted out by others, that this was indeed the palace.I just don’t know which prince’s mansion it is.

Jia He smiled sweetly like a child: "I think the prince has done a good job here. It's very beautiful and very big. It's just too big and makes me very tired when I walk around."

Mr. Cui and Yourong said honestly, "That's natural. The prince has a lot of things in his heart, and he can do anything with ease."

Jia He was a little embarrassed: "But Prince Beijing's Mansion..." Then he suddenly paused and stopped talking.Ms. Cui hummed softly: "What happened to the Prince's Palace in Beijing? Although they are both princes, our prince is a prince and is the closest to the emperor. This is something that other princes cannot compare to. If you look at the grandeur of this mansion, it is nowhere better than that of Beijing." Prince Jing’s Mansion is missing.”

Jia He's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

I didn’t expect this to be Prince Zhongshun’s palace.

Everyone in the house has a very normal relationship with the Jia family and has no contact with them at all.It was strange that the owner didn't want her to know who he was. It was strange that Mrs. Marquis of Jinxiang invited her here in the name of the Hou Mansion. That was why.

Ms. Cui suddenly asked: "Do you have any sisters of marriageable age in your family?"

"No. Except for the eldest sister who has entered the palace, we are all still young."

Mrs. Cui slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and her gesture of waving the round fan became more and more leisurely.

Seeing that she was no longer nagging about how good the prince was to her, Jia He calmly changed the subject: "I wonder what the insects in the insect garden eat on weekdays? I see that my father takes a lot when he feeds the birds. As for insects, I thought I could raise some when I had time, but I didn’t know what to pay attention to.”

Cui said: "I'm not sure about this. I'm only responsible for running the insect garden. Naturally, the steward sent by the prince will help me with other things."

"Then why did you think of setting up this insect garden? Since you don't like raising insects that much."

Cui smiled and said nothing, obviously on guard.

Jia He also understood that it was difficult to get the real reason from her for a while. After all, she had never told anyone the real reason for setting up this insect garden since she started it.Ms. Cui just thought that she was nothing more than a child, and just now she revealed that she didn't like raising insects.She would not say this to an adult.

But Jia He is very sure that the insect garden must have a lot to do with the wise man and the man behind it.The person behind the scenes should be someone close to Mr. Cui, and they definitely have nothing to do with it.

The reason why she didn't doubt Mr. Cui was because she firmly believed that he didn't have the brains to do such a thing.Even the Yao family has a better city than the Cui family.

Jia He then stood up slowly and made a gesture of walking towards the door.Suddenly he turned around and said to Mr. Cui: "You started the insect garden with the guidance of an expert, right?"

Mrs. Cui's face changed suddenly, and she tightly grasped the handle of the fan with her fingers: "What do you mean?"

Jia He blinked his pure and innocent eyes and pretended to be frightened: "I, I don't mean anything. I just thought that if you can build such a big insect garden, it must be Master Zhiwu or Zhiwu." It was given by Master Kong. After all, both of them have been here before, and they are both very powerful."

Mrs. Cui's face softened a little: "You don't have to worry about this." She raised her voice and called the maid beside her. When the maid opened the door from the outside, she pointed at Jia He and said, "Give the girl some candies."

The maid then stuffed a handful of sweets into Jia Huo's face.

When Jia He took it, he glanced at the maid's hand.Inadvertently, I saw traces of insect bites on the maid's hands.
