I am cultivating immortality in the Red Mansion

Chapter 93 Recommendations
Marquis Jinxiang seemed to have aged dozens of years overnight, and his hair on his temples suddenly turned gray.The originally well-maintained face now showed deep ravines.

After hearing what Jia He said, he was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and immediately refused: "That won't work!"

Although he said such contrary opinions to her, he still liked this girl in his heart, so he said next: "What do you want to eat? I'll let the kitchen prepare it."

Elders express their love for children, which is often reflected in giving them good food and clothing, and so on.

Jia He was thinking about it, and couldn't help but remember that one day before, when she was in this room, Hong Wenchang also asked her this gently, secretly gave her a handful of candies, and said to her with a smile: "Put it away. Come in." The emperor gave it to me when we were in the palace, and it was very delicious. I didn't even give it to Sister Yi, I kept it secretly just for you."

Hong Wenchang and his wife had a pair of twins, a daughter named Hong Yi and a son named Hong Ming.

Sister Yi is very popular at home.But even so, Hong Wenchang still loves Jia He very much, and the first thing he thinks of when he has a good one is to give it to her, not to Sister Yi.

Just because Jia He saved Hong Shuren, his biological sister, he not only loved her, but also felt grateful and thankful.

Regarding Hong Wenchang's approach, Mr. Hou and Mrs. Hou, who knew about it at the time, had no objection at all, and even smiled and nodded in agreement.

Such a family encountered such an unbearable predicament, how could Jia He sit back and ignore it?
"You don't have to be busy." Jia He said to Marquis Jinxiang, "I want to talk to you."

Marquis Jinxiang still asked people to prepare tea, and specifically ordered to make more pastries that Sister He loved to eat.

After he finished his instructions and there were only two of them in the room, Jia He spoke.

"Don't be too hasty to refute me. Think about it, reporting to the official position also has the benefits of reporting to the official position." Jia He advised: "The reason why Mrs. Hou wanted to report to the official position was because she thought that the prince would not be able to do such a dirty thing. That's right. You can't just let the prince kowtow to that family and admit his mistakes, precisely because once he takes the initiative to admit his mistakes, it is equivalent to admitting that he has really failed in his moral character. Wouldn't this damage the reputation of the Hou Mansion even more?"

"But what that bastard boy has been doing recently!" Jinxiang Hou's anger that he had just suppressed suddenly rose again: "Visiting brothels, visiting brothels, going to casinos, going to smokehouses... Which one has already disgraced the Hou family and made them lose their reputation? Since they have lost their reputation, it would be better for them to take the initiative to admit their mistakes and at least give the Hou family some backbone!"

Jia He then laughed: "What if I say that the murder was not done by the Crown Prince? I saw that the injury was not right, it was not the injury as rumored. I am afraid that someone maliciously slandered and deliberately spread the rumors to let the Crown Prince To expiate the crime.”

Marquis Jinxiang was stunned: "There is still such a possibility." There was a faint expectation in his eyes, and then his face changed, and he hummed: "If he is upright, he is not afraid of someone deliberately causing harm! He himself behaves inappropriately, Naturally, it will give others a chance!"

Jia He felt sad when he saw it, and with a relieved smile on his face, he said warmly: "It's hard to guard against evil people's methods. How did the Marquis know that the prince was not being harmed secretly? The prince had done all kinds of bad things before, and he also went to those places If there is no one to 'lead the way' to something inappropriate, how will he know what to do and how to get there?"

After hearing this, Marquis Jinxiang couldn't help but start to think. He slowly sat back in his seat holding on to the armrests of the chair. His originally excited mood gradually calmed down.

Yes, my son has followed the rules since he was a child. He doesn’t know where those places are or how to do those crooked things.How could he suddenly become enlightened and learn everything by himself?
He thought for a long time, then slowly raised his eyes and looked steadily at the little girl in front of him: "Do you think my son was harmed?"

"Although I have known the prince for so long, I know his temperament and feel that he is definitely not the person capable of doing such evil things. However, I have to do some research before I can reach a conclusion." Jia He said: "But I understand one thing, without checking , we will never know the truth, and if we don’t investigate, the prince will sink like this for the rest of his life.”

She asked gently: "Master Hou, do you really want the result of 'no investigation'?" Marquis Jinxiang fell silent.

I wish my mother had been waiting outside and didn't know what was going on inside.I could only vaguely hear the Marquis' voice rising a little higher sometimes, and then I saw the steward being called in and hurriedly leaving the room to do things.

When Jia He came out, she hurriedly greeted him and asked carefully: "Young lady, are you not wronged? The Marquis's temper has been really bad in recent days, and he occasionally gets angry. Don't take your magnanimity to heart."

Jia He said with a smile: "Excuse me, mother, please tell my wife. I will tell you that the Marquis has relented and has already sent people to Jingzhao Mansion to report the case. Please feel free to worry about my wife."

The Marquis still loves his son deep down in his heart.It's just that there are too many accumulated disappointments these days, and the suppressed emotions lead to a very bad temper.Just have a good talk with him.

Thinking of the faint expectation on Jinxiang Hou's face when he agreed just now, and the tears in Mrs. Hou's eyes before, Jia He knew that he had done the right thing by insisting on coming to Jinxiang Hou's mansion today.

I wish my mother couldn’t believe this was true for a moment.

When she came to her senses, she hurriedly said "Hey" and ran to the entrance of the hospital.When they were all in front of the courtyard gate, she remembered why she only went to talk to the madam and forgot about the girl?He quickly stopped and looked back.

Jia Hao smiled and waved his hand: "You can go on your own. I have to go over there to see the situation." Then he waved the front yard card in his hand: "The Marquis gave me those who are running rampant in the house." I can go anywhere with my pass token, don't worry."

I wish my mother knew that she was talking about the corpse, and that she really missed Mrs. Hou in her heart, so she wished she could tell the good news to her as soon as possible.He also thought that Miss He was not an outsider, so he said: "Then I will go to Madam's place first. If the girl has anything to do, just go to the boys and girls. But whatever the girl needs to do, everyone in the house is willing to help."

After that, he went away happily.

Jia He felt sad to see it.

There is nothing joyful about how long this house has been shrouded in gloom. Even things like reporting to the official, which can only make people feel slightly relieved but not yet certain, can make people so happy.

So she went to the corpse and began to question whether anyone followed Hong Wenchang every time he traveled.After all, the control time of the first-level Gu insect is short. If the Gu master wants to take action, it is safest to follow him every time.

Jinxiang Houfu is an in-law of General Feng's Mansion, and has a very good relationship with Prince Zhongshun's Mansion.General Feng's Mansion and Prince Zhongshun's Mansion were both popular figures in front of the emperor. Therefore, after Jingzhao Mansion received the report from Jinxiang Marquis Mansion, they did not dare to send anyone immediately.From the time people went to invite people to the time the officials arrived at the Hou Mansion, it only took a short two or three hours.

Moreover, they also brought a man who specialized in autopsies.

Apparently the Marquis of Jinxiang listened to Jia He's words, and when he sent people to invite the officials, he specifically told him to bring the widower.
