Honglou: This bastard is too persuasive.

Chapter 528 The truth about why Jia's mother loves Baoyu
It can be said that Jia Baoyu has said everything that the emperor has forbidden. You are a disciple of a duke, and even the son or nephew of a third-rank general. You are so shameless that you say you have great merits and great fortunes, and even have the luck of heaven around you. What's wrong with adding Wang Junjie? Are you the son of destiny, or do you want to be the emperor? Only the emperor can let the people around him be promoted. Only when the prince becomes the emperor can he let the people around him become the ministers of the dragon and then be promoted. You, a waste of the Jia family, actually said this. Are you really going to rebel?

It can be said that this matter is fundamentally Jia Baoyu's problem. Even if Jia Huan is really called back, what's the point? So Jia Zheng was speechless when he heard what the old lady said. He didn't know what to say. But he knew very well that the old lady's words were useless. Even if he really talked and got Jia Huan back, it would not solve the current problem. The key to this problem lies in Jia Baoyu. As long as Jia Baoyu doesn't give in, other problems on Jia Baoyu's side can't be solved at all. Jia Baoyu's nonsense put everyone in the family in the most dangerous situation, but Jia Baoyu himself didn't know how to solve it, so at this moment Jia Zheng didn't care what the old lady thought, and simply didn't give the old lady face and said directly.

"Mother, I have always cared about Baoyu the most. I also know that Baoyu needs to inherit the family business in order to make our family better. I also think that his son Hanyu is the most beautiful girl in our family, but if we just leave him alone this time, it won't work. And you have to know that Jia Huan has nothing to do with this matter. Jia Huan has made a difference because of his ability. What's the point of calling him back now? Jia Huan can still fight for our Jia family at the border. If he comes back, then we won't even have room to fight for it."

"Do you know why His Majesty is targeting us? The fundamental reason is that Baoyu speaks without thinking. He doesn't take His Majesty seriously. How can he expect His Majesty to treat him well? You always tell him that he is born with subtlety and that he is popular. How big a show can he make? Our Jia family has become a duke's mansion. If there is another great summons, will he become a prince? Or do he want to rebel? This kind of thing can be discussed in our own family, but how can you take it so seriously? This is because His Majesty doesn't care about you. If he did, our whole family would be executed."

"I also hope that Baoyu will be well, but if he continues to be ignorant of the seriousness of the situation, then our whole family may suffer. So I hope that when you educate him in the future, you can explain all the problems to him clearly and tell him about the dangers we face. Don't let him remain ignorant."

"Baoyu is a child after all. Even if he is arrested, His Majesty will not target him like this. At most, he will just scold him. But you have to know that Jia Huan is Baoyu's younger brother, but Jia Huan is now an earl, and Jia Baoyu is older than Jia Huan. So His Majesty may let him go. Baoyu is just a child, but with the comparison of Jiang Huan, it is impossible to give him a light punishment in the end. If you don't discipline Baoyu well after returning this time, then the disaster of our family will not be far away. So if you can discipline him, then do it. If you can't, just hand it over to my wife, or I'd better not be an official at all. I will come back to discipline the teacher myself. If I don't discipline him well, our family may really have no way out."

The old lady had not expected that when she asked her second son for help on how to rescue Baoyu, she would be scolded by her second son. She had never expected that her second son would be so dissatisfied with her. However, the old lady was speechless after hearing what Jia Zheng said, because she knew that he had been wrong in treating Baoyu for so many years, but she had no choice but to do so. The old lady naturally knew that Jia Baoyu was born with a jade in his mouth. It was precisely because she knew this that she had not dared to discipline Jia Baoyu. He had already become very bad. If she disciplined them properly, would the Rongguo Mansion really rebel? Therefore, she could only indulge Jia Baoyu, but she did not expect that she would indulge Jia Baoyu to have such a temper.

To be honest, at this moment, even the old lady felt a little sad. She didn't know what to do next, and she didn't know how to tell her son. She did that before because she did think that the matter of Jia Baoyu should not affect the family. But after a long time, when she saw that the royal family did not take any action, she felt that she had done the right thing and let Jia Baoyu keep a low profile. At the same time, if he really had a great opportunity in the future, he might be able to rise to a high position and even make the Jia family further progress. These were all her thoughts, but she dared not say them out loud. Moreover, she always felt that Jia Baoyu was capable and accomplished, but he was just young. Now, after comparing him with Jia Hua, he found that Jia Baoyu seemed to be nothing.

Not to mention popularity, what kind of luck can a person like Jia Baoyu have? If he continues like this, Jia Baoyu might cause a lot of trouble to the family. So now Mrs. Wang wants Jia Baoyu to go back, and Jia Zheng also wants to take Jia Baoyu away. The old ladies understand, but after all, they have loved their grandsons for so many years. He really can't bear to let Jia Baoyu go. He really doesn't want to let Jia Baoyu go, so he finally said.

"Second brother, I know you love Baoyu too. I know you can love and protect him. It is precisely because I know you love Baoyu that I have something to say to you now. You should know that Baoyu was born with jade in his mouth. This kind of existence must be popular, but you don't think about it. It's a good thing for such a masterpiece to appear in the royal family. It's not a good thing to appear in our Jia family. If His Majesty knows about this, it will be fatal. But do you think that the affairs of our family can be hidden from His Majesty? So everything in our family should have been known by His Majesty. If we implement it now and train Jia Baoyu well, our family will not be able to survive. That's why I didn't give it to your wife all those years ago."

"You know what kind of person your wife is. To put it bluntly, your wife has high aspirations but a fragile life. She is obsessed with climbing up the social ladder, and wants to be a high-ranking wife. She wants to improve her status and power, but she doesn't know that there are some things that cannot be asked for or thought about. But she always thinks about things she shouldn't think about. Why was your eldest daughter Yuanchun able to enter the palace? Why did others say that Yuanchun was his? That was spread by your wife. And why is your youngest son Jia Baoyu in this situation now? He was born with a jade in his mouth. If he was hidden, we would have taught him well. Maybe he would have a bright future. But now that it has been spread, how can we teach him well?"

"I can tell you clearly that if we really teach Jia Baoyu well, then our entire Jia family would have returned to dust and would have long since disappeared. This is something we absolutely cannot do, because it violates the royal family's taboos, and our family still has to survive. So we can't do such taboos. We can only let the royal family see that Jia Baoyu is useless, that he has no future, and no dreams. Only by destroying him can our Jia family live well."

"So for so many years, I have never let you teach him, and I even deliberately indulged him, but after so many years of indulgence, your mother also treats Baoyu as my child. She is my grandson. How can I not love her? So I still want to give her a future. She is also a great calling in life. Even if he doesn't study well, even if he is unlearned, even if he has a bad personality, when he grows up, he can bring a bright future to the Jia family with his great fortune. "In order to let him survive, I can only raise him to waste, and in order to let our entire Jia family survive, I can only treat him like this. He has been raised to waste by me, so he speaks and acts without thinking. His brain is not working well, so it will be like this, but we have already let him down, but we can't always let him down. I can't just ignore him because I raised him to waste, let alone give up on him at this time, so I hope that you, as a father, can help him well, and at least not let His Majesty care about Baoyu's affairs, let him continue to return to our Rongguo Mansion and live a quiet life. "

"If he can really achieve enlightenment one day and bring decades of glory to Jiajia Village, that would be the best. If not, we owe him. After all, we have spoiled him since he was a child. In this case, we cannot be sure how far he can go. Moreover, he is a lung disease patient. Well, we can't count on him. So I don't want to count on him. I don't care about how hard his Baoyu will live in this life. He has lived in lies since he was a child. He can just give up when he grows up. Then his life will be in vain. So I hope you can rescue him, at least let him be in my arms before I die."

As the old lady said this, Jia Zheng was shocked. He had never thought that the old lady had such a far-reaching plan. At the same time, he finally understood why Jia Baoyu had always been so favored in the mansion. He also finally knew why the old lady did not let him call Jia Baoyu. It turned out that everything was because of the popularity of Jia Baoyu. Is such a popularity really a good thing? He had never thought about it before, but now he felt cold sweat on his head when he thought about it.

He suddenly thought of those famous emperors and rebels in history. Each of them had a special move. Some were born with strange signs. Some were said to be the reincarnation of a red dragon. Some were born with colorful auspicious clouds, and some were born with thunder and lightning. Anyway, none of them was simple. And these children who were intended to be born with them were all outstanding. Some of them changed the dynasty, and some were rebels and traitors. Anyway, none of them was a good thing. Even if they were good, they were the ones who successfully changed the dynasty. These people would have a huge impact on the world, so the emperor would definitely be wary of them. If Jia Baoyu had studied hard over the years, he might really have brought a catastrophe to everyone.

After thinking it through, he expressed his admiration for his mother's foresight. However, no matter how much he admired his mother, he could not really learn from her. After all, his mother's approach seemed to be right, but she actually did not quite agree with it. Since she knew that Jia Baoyu had problems, she should have sent Jia Bao away at that time, or even handed him over directly to the emperor, then the problem would have been solved. However, he insisted on ruining him behind the scenes, and also placed such high hopes on him. It was not worth it.

But now Jia Zheng suddenly thought of a way. Since Jia Baoyu had been spoiled, he often did not think before he spoke or acted. This was an easy solution. So he assured his mother and went out. This time he really had an idea. After he went out, he went straight to the person in charge of the matter and told him everything. He also told him that he had neglected to teach Jia Baoyu before, and then kowtowed to the palace defense line.

"It is my family who is ashamed of His Majesty. It is my family who is ashamed of being too arrogant. When I gave birth to this son, I thought I would train him well. But when I saw the jade that accompanied him, I knew I couldn't train him. If I trained him, it would be disloyalty and unfilial to the empire. So I could only give it to my mother and let her lock it in the backyard, letting him eat, drink and have fun every day, and be a dandy boy. I didn't expect that because I didn't teach him, he would act and speak without thinking."

"Your Majesty, please forgive his ignorance. After today, I will take him back and let my mother teach him the most basic things, so that he will not make similar mistakes again. Otherwise, I will not care about him if he makes the same mistake again next time. I only hope that Your Majesty can give me a chance, give Rongguang Mansion a chance."

It must be said that this time the pretending to be righteous was right, because in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, he never took Jia Baoyu seriously. He was just venting his anger on them and then let Jia Huan know. In this way, he did Jia Huan a favor and did not pay anything in return. This was definitely a very cost-effective deal for the Emperor, and the matter was over very quickly.

Just as the situation here calmed down, Jia Huan, who was far away in the border, finally received the news.
