I'm in the Red Mansion

Chapter 203: Breaking the Legs and Destroying the Clan

After taking his pulse, Jia Cong found that Lin Ruhai had recovered quite well after this detoxification.

Probably because there is no drug resistance.

After one or two months of hard work, the remaining poison in Lin Ruhai's body was gradually eliminated.

With proper care, even if he doesn't live to be a hundred, at least living to be sixty or seventy years old should not be a problem.

In this era, living to sixty or seventy years old is considered a long life.

It is rare for a person to live to be seventy!

After taking the pulse, Jia Cong taught Lin Ruhai the Eight-Section Brocade.

Let him play basketball every day to exercise his body.

After giving the instructions, Jia Cong left the Lin Mansion.

As soon as he returned to Ningguo Mansion, the housekeeper Xue Da came running to report: "Third Master, the old ancestor of the West Mansion, the first master, the second master, the first wife, the second wife..."

"There is a group of people who are now at the ancestral hall. Third Master, you should go over there."

Is the whole family here together?
Although Jia Cong roughly guessed why they went to the ancestral hall, he still asked, "What are they doing here?"

Xue Da couldn't help but say, "Third Master, Second Master Bao from the West Mansion went out for a while, and when he came back he knelt in the ancestral hall, saying that Third Master told him to kneel, and that he had to kneel for a day and a night."

"The old ancestor of the West Mansion asked someone to ask him to go back, but Master Bao didn't dare to go back. The old ancestor of the West Mansion got angry and brought the people of the West Mansion to the outside of the ancestral hall, ready to take Master Bao back."

"Now they are being stopped by Master Jiao and his men. Third Master, you should go over and take a look. If you don't go, I'm afraid something bad will happen."

Jia Cong was not surprised that Lady Jia brought people with her.

What surprised Jia Cong was that Jia Baoyu was actually so cowardly.

After scaring himself, he actually didn't dare to leave.

Jia Cong was really angry today. If Baoyu had not gone to the ancestral hall to kneel, or if he had been taken away by Grandmother Jia.

He really wants to give Baoyu a good beating today.

I didn't expect this guy to be so cowardly.

Soon, Jia Cong arrived at the ancestral hall in the backyard.

Jiao Da brought more than twenty guards with him, each holding a wooden stick in his hand, staring at the people from Xifu with a fierce look.

For a moment, the two sides were in a stalemate.

Only when she saw Jia Cong coming did Jia's mother breathe a sigh of relief.

Because Jiao Da was born in the year of the donkey, he only listens to Jia Cong.

If they really break in, he would really dare to beat them!

If she hadn't been held back by Yuanyang and retreated quickly, she would have been hit long ago.

It would be great if Brother Zi Cong came now.

At least Congge is reasonable and would never hit her.

Therefore, when she saw Jia Cong, Jia's mother's face suddenly darkened and she scolded him, "Brother Cong, let me ask you, why did you let Baoyu kneel in the ancestral hall again?"

"And you want him to kneel for a whole day and night? Even if you are the head of the Jia family, you can't bully Baoyu like this!"

At this time, Jia Zheng also said: "Brother Cong, you are both the elder brother and the head of the clan. Logically speaking, you should punish Baoyu."

"But he is weak to begin with. How could he endure kneeling in the ancestral hall for a whole day and night?"

"Besides, the old ancestor loves Baoyu very much. If Baoyu is in trouble, it will inevitably make the old ancestor worried."

"Therefore, I would like to ask Brother Cong to be lenient and let him go. I will take care of him after I return."

Jia Cong snorted coldly, "You only know that I punished him to kneel in the ancestral hall, but you don't know what kind of trouble he got into."

As he said this, Jia Cong waved his hand and asked Jiao Da and the others, as well as the servants of Rongguo Mansion, to leave. Then Jia Cong said, "Today, Baoyu ran to Uncle Lin's house and asked Sister Lin to leave in front of Uncle Lin and me, saying that he had a few questions to ask him alone!"

"Uncle Lin was already angry, but Baoyu didn't change his mind. He still asked Sister Lin to go out and even tried to hold her hand."

"That's why I punished him to come back and kneel in the ancestral hall."

"Baoyu is not a child anymore, is it possible that he still doesn't know etiquette?"

"Baoyu has already offended Uncle Lin by his behavior. If he is not disciplined, he may offend someone else in the future."

"He did something so absurd. As the head of the Jia family, shouldn't I punish him?"

"Isn't this punishment too severe?"

After hearing what Jia Cong said, Jia Mu and the others fell silent.

They had no doubt that Jia Cong was lying.

They believed that Jia Baoyu was really capable of doing such a thing.

It’s okay if you do it at home, and it’s not a big deal even if you really reach out to pull someone.

But how to do it at a relative's house?

Once the news gets out, will you still have this reputation?

In this way, Jia Cong's punishment on Jia Baoyu was really appropriate and not severe enough.

Jia Zheng's face flushed with shame when he heard this. He could not help but say angrily, "This evil creature actually did such a shameful thing. When he comes out, I will beat him to death!"

Grandmother Jia also looked unhappy.

After a long while, Grandmother Jia finally said, "This time, Baoyu did go too far, but he is still young, still a child."

"He is weak, if he really kneels for a whole day and night, how can he bear it?"

"Why don't I pick him up first? When I get back, I will teach him a lesson so that he won't dare to do that again next time."

Jia Cong sneered, "If he makes a mistake, he must be punished. If he is not punished now, will he be punished after he rebels and kills the king?"

Seeing that Jia Cong was adamant and refused to let Jia Baoyu out, Grandmother Jia became angry.

She couldn't help but say, "Baoyu is still a child, how can he kneel here for a whole day and a whole night? What if I must take him out?"

Jia Cong sneered, "I've told Baoyu that if he comes out even an hour earlier, I will break his legs and remove him from the family tree."

"If you don't believe in evil, just take him out!"

Upon hearing these words, everyone in Rongguo Mansion, including Lady Jia, couldn't help but change their expressions.

Break your legs and remove your name from the family tree!
This is too cruel!
However, they never thought that they had removed Jia Cong's name from the family tree back then.

Grandmother Jia shouted sternly: "How dare you!"

Jia Cong said calmly: "You old man can give it a try. You pick him up now, and I will call together the elders and hold a clan meeting to see if they will agree to remove Baoyu from the family tree."

Hearing this, Grandmother Jia was shocked again.

This evil creature has such a cruel heart!
Now that this evil creature has just implemented reforms in the tribe, all the tribe members have benefited. How can we not speak in favor of this evil beast?

At this moment, Grandmother Jia really didn't dare to bet whether Jia Cong dared to really break Baoyu's legs and remove him from the family tree.

What if he really dares?
Once your name is really removed from the family tree, it will be too late to regret.

After being angry for a long time, Jia's mother picked up her cane and said sternly, "If anything happens to Baoyu, I will never forgive you! Let's go back!"

After saying this, Grandmother Jia took her people and left.

Seeing this, Jia Cong showed a hint of sneer and turned away.
