Capital city, Wang family.
Wang Ziteng is grooming his beard in front of the mirror.
Not to mention, during the time he was recuperating at home, he was fine in every way except for the inconvenience in his legs.
"Brother, I don't want to go to the Jia family."
Wang Zisheng came in reluctantly and said, "My niece Yuanchun has never been close to us since she was a child. Her mother was imprisoned in the ancestral hall. We had such a big fight with the Jia family. Did she send anyone to ask about us? And Feng'er, she is also an ungrateful person. Does she think that she can just cling to the Jia family? Bah! Without her mother's family, I can only wait and see what kind of miserable life she will have in the future!"
He was also very angry with Jia Lian.
A son-in-law is only half a son, has he been a good half son? But Jia Lian is a doctor in the armory, and his brother still needs him, so Wang Zisheng can't complain in front of his brother.
"What are you talking about?"
Wang Ziteng was speechless to his brother. "We, as uncles, are not going to our niece's wedding day. Are you trying to help everyone confirm the rumors that the Wang and Jia families are not on good terms?"
This? Wang Zisheng sat down on the chair angrily, "But after what happened that day, do you think the Jia family will be nice to us?"
His brother-in-law is a fool who probably can't even keep up a smiling face.
And there is Jia Zhen, who is really a man who can lose face.
Nephew Jia Zhu is also quite pedantic, and niece-in-law Jia Lian... seems to be more capable, but it seems a bit difficult for them to show off their Yue family status in front of him now.
After all, the third brother and his wife died a long time ago.
"Haha, don't worry, I'll definitely be in a good mood."
Wang Ziteng trimmed his beard again with a pair of small scissors.
No matter how useless Wang Ziteng is, he still knows a few people in the army. Although they may not be able to help his nephew's husband, they can definitely make things difficult for him.
Old Lady Jia and Madam Shen knew that it was better to reconcile than to create enemies, and soon Jia Lian would know it too.
Making enemies in the court...that's seeking death.
The return of his uncle Yue to the capital would only benefit his official career and not harm it.
"elder brother!"
Wang Zisheng was skeptical of his brother's words. "Jia She went to Yansui to vent his anger for his concubine sister Jia Zhen. I heard that he beat up all the members of the Min family, young and old."
The Min family hasn't done anything to the concubine's daughter yet.
Everyone in the Lan family died.
Until this point, the brothers did not know of Lanzhi's existence.
"If he comes to our house..."
"…Don't worry, it won't happen after today."
Wang Ziteng was in a good mood, but became a little unhappy after hearing what his younger brother said.
Some people in the court not only wanted to hold Jia Lian back, but also wanted to suppress him.
Otherwise, the impeachment of Jia She could have been carried out long ago.
Delaying it until now is nothing more than an attempt to kill two birds with one stone.
"What do you mean? Brother, are you going to use silver to clear the way again?"
Wang Zisheng was very dissatisfied.
He didn't spend much money on keeping concubines and mistresses, but his brother was an official and spent a huge amount of money.
"How big is the appetite of the Jia family? A manor in the suburbs of Beijing is not enough?"
If he hadn't been concerned about his brother, he would have overturned the table at Jia's house that day.
"What are you talking about?"
Wang Ziteng taught his brother, "The manor outside Beijing is a token of our love as uncles to our niece."
Marquis Xinping is also a military title.
Moreover, Cheng Luo is the grandson of the retired emperor and the nephew of the emperor.
This is similar to them and the Jia family.
"Princess Baofeng died a pitiful death. Now her son is getting married. Do you think the royal family doesn't care?"
Zhuangzi, he must send it.
Yuanchun is a member of the Jia family. No matter how dissatisfied she is with her uncle's family, she will not publicize it, and she will not have a grudge against money.
"Just go and do your niece's facial in peace."
Wang Ziteng signaled Wang Jin to push him out, but unexpectedly, his nephew ran in and said, "Uncle, Dad, it's bad. My brother-in-law Jia Lian was impeached along with his father."
What? Wang Zisheng stood up suddenly, "Why?"
"They say he was arrogant and assaulted an official of the imperial court."
"What happened to the Min family?"
Wang Zisheng sat back down, "It wasn't your brother-in-law who beat me. Brother, your nephew-in-law won't be implicated, right?"
No one in the Min family died, so even if it was Jia She, he would at most reprimand them.
"Won't!"
The emperor is not stupid.
Anyway, according to what Wang Ziteng found out, Jia Lian has some capabilities in the Armory.
It seemed like the emperor was praising him in front of the emperor emeritus.
"Don't think about those messy things, let's go!"
The carriage is ready.
If you don’t leave now, when will you leave?
"Second brother, Ren'er, come with me in the car."
Wang Ziteng didn't turn around and gave instructions to the two of them directly.
The guards carried him into the spacious modified carriage. Just as they were about to help the second master, several horses came running to the corner of the street. It was Jia She.
Wang Zisheng was startled and was about to tell his son to hide quickly, but Wang Ren had already retreated back home.
"Oh~"
Jia She was holding a horsewhip, looking down from a high position. Just when Wang Zisheng put on a forced smile and was about to say hello, he lashed out with the whip at the man who had bullied his family.
“Ouch~”
Prince Sheng was in great pain, and the guards rushed to protect him.
"Jia She, what are you going to do?"
Wang Ziteng was very anxious. He had calculated everything, but he had never expected Jia She to come back so soon. "Do you still want to be impeached?"
Bang~ Bang Bang Bang~~~It would have been fine if Wang Ziteng didn't say anything. Once he said it, Jia She exploded.
The Wang family is what it is today thanks to the Jia family, but they actually took advantage of his absence to cheat his second idiot, bully his nephew, and make his mother and sister-in-law angry. This is intolerable.
Wang Ziteng is in the carriage and has a leg injury, so it's hard to fight him, but Wang Zisheng... don't even think about escaping.
The guards wanted to protect their second master, but the other party's guards were not pushovers.
The most important thing is that their master didn't allow them to draw their swords.
Of course, this is the capital city. If so many of them really want to fight, people from Shuntian Prefecture and Wucheng Bingmasi may arrive soon.
The guards knew very well that if their master wanted to return to the Beijing camp, the Jia family would have to help.
"Ah, stop it, stop it, it's none of my business."
Wang Zisheng tried hard to dodge and let the guards take the whipping for him, but Jia She's whip seemed to have eyes and always hit him.
"Jia She, you bastard!"
Wang Ziteng became anxious.
By doing this, Jia She really confirmed the rumors that there was discord between the Wang and Jia families!
"Catch him for me!"
"Let's see who dares."
Jia She's eyes were full of viciousness. "Wang Ziteng, do you think you are the smartest person in the world? You have harmed my eldest sister's family. Wait, I will report you to the emperor."
Want to go back to Beijing Camp?
Want to take advantage of his son? Want to step on the corpses of his Jia family? That's just dreaming!
After receiving a letter from home on the way and learning about his eldest sister's family, Jia She specifically asked Jia Jin.
One of them was in Zhongwei, Ningxia, and the other in Yansui, which were close to each other and they had a lot of correspondence.
You really don’t know until you ask. Once you ask…
Jia She almost vomited blood.
He knew that his second brother was a jerk, but he never knew he could be that jerk.
After his father passed away and his mother quarreled with him, he had no choice but to give up Rong Xi Tang and move to the East Courtyard. All affairs of the mansion were taken care of by his second brother and his wife.
Jia She always thought that he was the one who was betrayed the most by his second brother.
But I didn’t expect that the eldest sister would suffer the most.
The younger sister, who used to be very close to her second brother, wrote home when she was seriously ill, asking him to take care of her two nephews on her behalf, but ended up bringing harm to the entire family.
It was not until he asked Jia Jin that he knew why she never wrote to her family.
She dare not! The words that his sister cried bitterly made Jia She feel like he was falling into an icy cave.
In these years of living a life of drunkenness and dreams, he...
Jia She hated himself, but he hated this gloomy Wang Ziteng even more.
"Someone, come and beat him up, smash him down!"
As he spoke, he swung his whip and tore off the Wang family's plaque.
He must avenge his brother-in-law and two nephews, otherwise, even if he dies, he will be beaten by his father in front of the Naihe Bridge.
"Jia She, are you crazy?"
Wang Ziteng was going crazy. "The Lan family's affairs are not what you think. Can't you see that? Someone is trying to sow discord between our two families."
Bang~ Jia She, in a rage, finally couldn't hold back and attacked him.
When he was young, he played with a whip, but he hadn't done it in years.
I can use it so well now, thanks to the use of whips on horses these days.
The lost feel is back.
And this strength is obviously much better than when I went to Tianjin.
But who is Wang Ziteng?
Where is the chief officer of the Beijing camp?
Although he had a leg injury, it was far from being as serious as his stupid brother's.
As soon as Jia She swung the whip, he grabbed it.
With a little looseness and a little pull, he managed to pull the whip into his own hand.
"Don't make me fight you."
The moment Wang Ziteng grabbed the whip, he flicked it towards a guard of the Jia family. When he grabbed the guard's waist, he pulled him hard. With a "snap", the man fell heavily to the ground.
"Come on, do you think I'm afraid?"
Jia She was furious, and just as he was about to order his men to knock on his horse, the soldiers from the Wucheng Bingma Division arrived on the street and said, "Stop, stop right there."
At the same time, Cheng Luo also learned that the Yue family had been impeached.
But, impeachment!
How normal!
His mother died so tragically, yet she was still impeached.
Cheng Luo has a very bad impression of those censors who can turn white into black.
But he could remain indifferent, but the old lady of the Cheng family could not. There were guests here, and she wanted to make a scene. However, she was held down by a group of old sisters-in-law before she even reached the front yard.
"Sister-in-law, you can't bring trouble to the family again!"
"That's right. If Lord Jia can beat the Min family, he can beat our family as well."
All the men in the Min family, from the old to the young, were beaten.
The royal family wanted to set an example for the world and did not take action against their family. However, they certainly hoped that someone would help to deal with their family.
After Princess Baofeng passed away, the Cheng family seemed to be the same as before on the surface, but everyone, young and old, knew that things were different.
Even the Prince of Nan'an, who had helped clean up the mess, obviously disliked their family.
This is not the worst.
The worst thing is that ever since Luo Ge'er and Jia Yuanchun got engaged, the men's work in the yamen has become more difficult than before.
The eighth old lady of the Cheng family said, "Even if Jia She is reprimanded, there is still Jia Zhen in Ningguo Mansion."
"That's right. It is said that Jia Zhen is even more of a bad guy than Jia She."
A quick-talking daughter-in-law said, "It was because of a married young member of the Jia family that the house of Mr. Chen from the Ministry of Works was destroyed."
"That's right. After smashing it, he still wasn't satisfied and went to sue the owner. He even made the owner's son change his surname."
Yes, yes, yes, this is the key.
The only person the Cheng family relies on now is Cheng Luo.
What if Jia Zhen offends them and comes to cause trouble, and then asks Cheng Luo to change his surname...
It is possible that the royal side will agree immediately.
"Hurry, hurry, come and help."
A group of old women carried the old lady inside.
This stunned Cheng Luo, who rushed over to stop his grandmother from making trouble.
As he huddled in the corner and secretly swallowed his saliva, his eyes were extremely bright.
That's right! Why didn't he think of it? The Jia family had helped the son-in-law change his surname before! He...
Cheng Luo's breathing became heavier and heavier.
He had to think of a way.
His mother didn't want to stay in the Cheng family. She hated that man so much. Although he argued with them and didn't let them be buried together, his mother was still buried in the Cheng family's ancestral tomb.
The place is full of Cheng family members, and his mother has become a ghost, so she is bullied.
You have to think of a solution, you must think of a solution.
It seemed as if a new door had been opened for Cheng Luo.
…
At Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zheng wrote all of the Cheng family's betrothal gifts, except for food and drink, into Yuanchun's dowry list.
Wang Shi didn’t wait for her brothers to come, and of course Zhuangzi didn’t either.
The patriarch of the Cheng family and Cheng Luo's three uncles did not show any panic or distance about Jia She's impeachment.
Compared to Princess Baofeng's affairs, Jia She's affairs were nothing! All they needed to know was that the daughter of the Jia family was not to be trifled with.
If they really get provoked, the beating that they escaped in the first place might be arranged by the Jia family soon.
Royal...
The four men of the Cheng family all suspected that the Queen's arranged marriage for Luo Ge'er was a revenge against their family.
"Old lady, it's not good."
The maid hurried over to the female guest's side and whispered carefully into Mrs. Jia's ear: "When the master went to the Wang family to beat the second master Wang, he was captured by the Wucheng Bingmasi."
What? Grandmother Jia calmed down, "Where is the Wang family?"
We can't just take her son, right? "The eldest master of the Wang family also went to the Wucheng Bingmasi, but the second master was seriously injured and said he wanted to sue our master."
"Hmm~"
Grandmother Jia said softly, "Tell the eldest lady of the East Palace and ask Zhen'er to find a solution."
"……yes!"
The maid went over and spoke to Shen Ning carefully.
At this time, Shen Ning was fanning herself and talking to Li Wan's mother.
Hearing this news, he stood up with a smile and said, "Sorry, my Yue'er has woken up and needs to leave for a while. Come here and have a good talk with your mother."
"yes!"
Li Wan hurriedly bowed and talked to her mother with a smile.
Among the elders in her husband's family, her mother-in-law is the most difficult to deal with.
It is a rare opportunity to talk to her mother today, and Li Wan cherishes it very much.
Mrs. Li stood up and smiled, "Bring the child over here so we can all take a look."
"OK!"
Shen Ning agreed with a smile and walked away quickly.
Jia She's beating was arranged by her and Jia Min, but the people from the Five Cities Military Department left so quickly, there must be someone behind the scenes who was watching this matter.
Besides, Jia Zhen hasn't come back yet.
She had to go pick up Jia Zhen first. (End of this chapter)
