Chapter 185 Self-righteous (please subscribe)

When Wang Xifeng received the [-] taels of silver gained from ransacking her home, she was overjoyed.

"Brother Huan, to tell you the truth, when the Second Master sent someone over yesterday to spread the news, I didn't quite believe it!"

"If it hadn't been for the curfew in the city, I would have sent people out to look for the second master. But I can't just forget about it and wander around outside after becoming a fifth-grade official!"

"I didn't expect this to be true!"

Listen, her strong psychology is fully revealed in just a few words.

What does it mean to "send people to search if there is no curfew", and what does it mean to be a "fifth grade petty official"?

Damn it, do you have any misunderstandings about the fifth-rank official in the Department of Household Affairs, the official of the Qing Dynasty Department of Dian Province?

Believe it or not, even Wang Ziteng, who is in charge of the inspection of nine provinces, would not dare to be so arrogant in front of Jia Lian!

Of course, Jia Huan had no intention of arguing with Wang Xifeng about these squabbles and lawsuits. It was not interesting to talk about it.

"By the way, I heard that the Lai family is quite rich. When you ransack the house, don't deliberately keep one hand to share the profits privately. I won't agree to it!"

Wang Xifeng changed the topic and talked about the Lai family's property with great interest, as if they were all hers. This confidence alone was unparalleled.

"No way, we have made arrangements in advance!"

Jia Huan chuckled and said: "The elder wants to share half of the profit, and the remaining half of the silver and unimportant things will be sent to the public house after being exchanged for money!"

"Master, at most I will keep some rare artifacts and antiques that are difficult to sell, or that are particularly precious. I have no intention of sharing the money!"

"What, you guys have all been divided?"

Wang Xifeng's eyebrows stood up and she said dissatisfiedly: "Why should the eldest master take away half of it?"

"And what about the deeds to the property and the store?"

So damn greedy!

He didn't ask anything, and he didn't ask why he wanted to rob Lai's house. He became interested as soon as he heard about the money distribution.

I don't even think about what kind of existence the Lai family is. If it wasn't a last resort, how could it be possible to attack the Lai family so easily, and even beat them to death with a stick?

"Second sister-in-law, when it comes to the Lai family, the two masters must come forward to withstand the old lady's anger!"

Just a light sentence made the aggressive Wang Xifeng become angry, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Jia Huan smiled slightly and had a subtle expression. There were some things that didn't need to be said as everyone knew it.

Seeing that Wang Xifeng was thoughtful, her expression gradually returned to calm, and then she continued: "Second Mistress, don't worry about the Lai family's property and shop. They must be cleaned up and exchanged for money!"

Wang Xifeng opened her mouth to say something, but Jia Huan stretched out her hand to stop her and said with a chuckle: "There are some things that second sister-in-law should not know about. It is not a good thing to get involved rashly!"

Worried that Wang Xifeng was acting secretly, he had no choice but to lower his voice and reveal some information: "It's just Uncle Wang who is infected. He can't escape easily without taking off two layers of skin!"

Hearing this, Wang Xifeng was shocked and carefully looked at Jia Huan's expression, which did not seem to be fake.

I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, the expression on my face was tangled for a while, and finally I chuckled: "Since Brother Huan said so, sister-in-law just doesn't ask!"

"Second sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about anything. The public will be able to have at least more than three hundred thousand taels of silver by then!"

Jia Huan changed the topic and said leisurely: "As long as we keep good control in the future, we won't have the embarrassing situation of being stretched thin and having less than [-] taels of silver in public funds!"

"Okay, if this is really the case, then my sister-in-law will have to thank you very much!"

Wang Xifeng was overjoyed when she heard this, her eyebrows were dancing and her face was radiant. She chuckled and complained: "Brother Huan, you don't know how difficult it is to have no money. The children in the house don't have a fuel-efficient lamp!"

"I've brought the words with you. Second sister-in-law knows what she's talking about!"

Jia Huan was not in the mood to listen to the gossip in the house. Aunt Zhao had already heard enough. She stood up and said goodbye: "Second sister-in-law, if possible, don't go to Rongqing Hall today!"

"Brother Huan, what do you mean..."

"I didn't say anything. It's up to you whether the second sister-in-law will listen or not. I'm still going to the Lai family to keep an eye on her!"

After saying that, he patted his butt and left without any intention of staying.

After watching Jia Huan leave, Wang Xifeng said to Ping'er beside him: "This guy's wings are hard, and he's actually yin and yang when he talks to me!"

"Second Grandma, please stop fussing and settle the fifty thousand taels of silver properly!"

Ping'er smiled bitterly and said: "Since yesterday evening, the news from Ning Mansion has been cut off. I don't know what happened. It's better to be careful!"

Of course she knew why Wang Xifeng was unhappy. What Jia Huan said just now was something that even Wang Ziteng did not dare to get involved in, which made Wang Xifeng unhappy. You must know that Wang Ziteng was Wang Xifeng's biggest trump card.

But Ping'er was keenly aware that Jia Huan was not joking when he said this!

Ping'er could see some things more clearly than Wang Xifeng. Wang Ziteng was just elected by the Rong Mansion, and no one could guarantee whether the Rong Mansion would destroy him.

Before Mr. Lian became an official, when he had little resources and money, the couple quarreled and quarreled, and Wang Xifeng would only expose a little bit of it between the Wang family's fingers, which was enough for the Rong family to chew.

These words sound really hurtful to one's face.

Is the Wang family really richer than the Rong family? Ping'er is not sure about this.

If this were the case, when Wang Xifeng was young, the Wang family would not have deliberately sent Wang Xifeng to live in Rong Mansion for a period of time. Even a fool could see their intentions.

Now that the Rong Mansion is gaining momentum, if my young lady still treats Master Lian with the same old attitude, something will happen sooner or later, and no man can stand it.

On the other side, the old lady in Rongqing Hall had already noticed something was wrong.

Last night, there was no news from Aunt Lai, which was already very strange.

But as of this morning, there has been no news, which is really wrong. Is it possible? What accident happened?

The first time he got up, he ordered Yuanyang, the number one maid beside him, that if Lai Da came, he would be summoned to Rongqing Hall as soon as possible.

Lai Da and her wife do not live in the mansion, but they come over early every morning on errands.

As the ceiling for a family to have children, Lai Da didn't dare to neglect it at all.

If he slacks off and asks other managers to find opportunities to successfully gain the attention of the old lady, then whether he can secure his position as chief manager will be a problem.

This is the old lady's way of governing, at least she always tries her best.

But today, when it was time for breakfast, neither Lai Da nor his wife showed up.

The old lady was very unhappy, but she was also worried that something had happened.

Just then, Yuanyang brought inexplicable news: The boss didn’t know what happened, but suddenly got a large sum of money!

"Old lady, it is said that the silver was personally escorted over by Brother Huan, the second roommate!"

"Seeing how happy the eldest master is, I'm afraid the amount of money will definitely be a lot!"

The old lady frowned and pondered for a long time, not knowing what was going on.

She was used to being the only one in the house, and she never thought that her two sons would dare to touch her most trusted confidant, Lai Jia.

Not long after, news came again that Jia Huan had sent money to Wang Xifeng. This time the amount of money was clearer, a full fifty thousand taels.

"Go and call Feng girl over!"

Feeling a little uneasy in her heart, the old lady ordered the maid beside her: "See if Brother Huan is in the house, and if he is, call him over and talk!"

As a result, the maid hasn't come back yet, but the pardon master and the second master Zheng came hand in hand.

Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang who were traveling with her were sent back after greeting them with courtesy. It was not suitable for them to listen to what happened next.

As for the maids in Rongqing Hall, apart from instructing Yuanyang to guard the door, they were all sent out.

The two masters behaved like this, not to mention the maids in Rongqing Hall, even the old lady was shocked.

"Second brother, aren't you going to the Yamen? Why did you come back suddenly?"

The old lady took the initiative and asked directly: "What happened?"

"Mother, my son specially asked for leave to return home. There are some things he wants to talk about!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he fell to his knees with a plop, and the Pardon Master next to him did the same.

The Pardon Master's face was full of grief, and he wailed: "Old lady, if you feel that our family is tired of living, just find your old connections to rebel!"

"Boss, what are you talking about?"

The old lady straightened her back suddenly and shouted angrily: "If you are so treasonous, don't say such nonsense, otherwise the house will be destroyed!"

"Old lady, since you know that the royal majesty cannot be violated lightly, why do you deliberately harm the royal bloodline?"

The Pardon Master's face was full of sorrow, and he continued to cry: "Is it possible that the old lady thinks that the royal family is made of paper?"

"Boss, you are getting more and more out of tune!"

The old lady had a sudden thought and angrily shouted: "When did the old lady harm the royal bloodline?"

"If you don't tell me why today, boss, you won't be able to get away easily!"

"Mom, isn't the daughter-in-law of Brother Rong from Ning Mansion next door, of royal blood?"

Mr. Zheng Er smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "This matter is all an open secret!"

"If she suddenly died suddenly at home, does the old lady think the royal family would let it go?"

"You, you all know?"

The old lady suddenly realized, looked at her two sons and said coldly: "What, are you trying to force her to have a baby?"

"Son dare not!"

Master Pardon and Master Zheng answered in unison, but their faces were full of sadness.

The old lady frowned and said coldly: "Who are you showing such a face to?"

The Pardon Master ignored it and shouted: "Old lady, let's tell the truth as mother and son. What exactly do you want to do? Do you know how serious the consequences are?"

"How serious can the consequences be?"

The old lady curled her lips and said, "Zhen'er did this. What does it have to do with our Rong Mansion?"

"Ning Rong is one, this is a fact recognized by the outside world!"

Master Pardon said without hesitation: "When we clean up the Ning Mansion today, will we take out the Rong Mansion alone?"

The old lady got angry and said sternly: "That's enough. What do you know?"

"We are rapidly cleaning up the remnants of the deposed prince. If we don't take a clear stand at this time and draw a clear line between the remnants of the deposed prince, will we still get mixed up and wait for death?"
