Chapter 151 Secret Order 'Accident'
The emperor was most satisfied with the farce of Dengwen Drum.
The court finally didn't have to give that old woman the silver for the first-rank imperial edict.
Moreover, all the properties acquired by Marquis Xinping in the past have now been transferred to the name of his nephew.
He happily went to thank his father.
"Father, you are so resourceful. I admire you so much."
Although he knew what was going on in the court, and the old man must have been told by the God of Reporting, as a son he had to pretend that he didn't know. He would report good news and bad news. If there was something that was neither good nor bad, he would come over and pretend to be undecided...
Even if there was really nothing to do, he would still come over and talk to the old man about how so-and-so and so-and-so had a quarrel today, and their beards were blown up high. If he hadn't stopped them quickly, they might have taken off their boots and started a fight.
In short, all the good things praised by the ministers were accomplished by him under the guidance of his father.
"Your reward to the Jia family is really timely."
The emperor was still excited, "When the Cheng family saw this, they really turned against us. You don't know how ridiculous it was when they tried so hard to prove to Luo'er in the court that he was a good boy and that the old woman in the Cheng family was not clear-headed."
It feels so good to finally get rid of years of depression.
"Father, I will have a drink with you today to celebrate!"
The Emperor: “…”
He was very happy to be coaxed.
Indeed, the reward to the Jia family was given by him.
"How big of a deal?"
Although he said this, there was already a smile in the eyes of the Emperor, "Is it worth celebrating? I think you want to drink my good wine?"
"Hahaha, please do me the honor, father!"
The emperor laughed heartily, imitating the shameless manner of his youngest son when he begged him for help.
He found that as long as his son didn't make any mistakes and was just being naughty with him... he would be very happy every time.
"Okay, okay!"
The emperor looked disgusted and helpless, "But I can only drink three cups. The imperial physician said that I can only drink three cups at most."
"Haha, if you want to drink more, my son won't give it to you!"
Concubine Zhen, who was coming from afar, saw that the father and son were both smiling. Although she was extremely upset, she quickly put on a smile and tried to join in.
At the same time, the adults who had left their respective yamen could not help but gossip with their families about today's farce at the Dengwen Drum.
What the adults didn't expect was that they had started eating the Cheng family's gossip early in the morning and did not miss the Dengwen Drum at all.
Now, if we add the ones in the court, it will be complete.
But when talking about the Cheng family, we cannot help but talk about the Jia family.
Don’t say it, the situation is different now that the head of the family has changed.
Jia She is indeed doing quite well.
His niece hadn't even gotten married yet, but he dared to bring his entire family to help Marquis Xinping steal his mother.
Who would dare to do it if it were someone else? Even if the head of the family dared to do it, the rest of the family would have to persuade them.
As a result, the Jia family had two gangster heads, and Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion probably pulled all the guards from their family over.
Alas~ No wonder Mrs. Jia was worried and wanted to hand over Rongguo Mansion to her second son.
What a pity! Jia Zheng is even more hopeless.
The name of Er Idiot is now known to everyone in the world.
"I heard that even his brother-in-law from the Wang family looked down on him?"
"That's right!"
In the tavern, everyone was discussing today's major events. "The Lu family was related to the assassin who assassinated Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion. I heard that Madam Shen of Ningguo Mansion was giving birth that day. When she heard that her son was stabbed, she almost died. It was the female doctor sent by the Queen who saved her life."
"I heard that, too."
The person who spoke had bright eyes. "Ningguo Mansion is not very populous. At that time, including the child in Madam Shen's belly, there were only five people in the whole family."
"Why five? Shouldn't it be six?"
"That Master Jing is in the Taoist temple, so he is considered a monk. How can he still be considered a member of Ningguo Mansion?"
“…That’s right.”
"Tell me, how big is the hatred between Ningguo Mansion and Lu family? It's ok for the Wang family to be the outsider to mediate, but how can the second master Jia not be clear-headed? He doesn't help his own family, but he helps his brother-in-law."
"So, he is a fool."
Someone else joined in, "I heard that now he and his wife are both punished to kneel in the ancestral hall."
“You deserve it!”
"Haha, you deserve it!"
In the pub, everyone burst into laughter.
In the ancestral hall of Ningguo Mansion, Jia Zheng and Wang Shi finally found out what had happened at home yesterday.
The two looked at their daughter Yuanchun, not knowing what to say.
Jia Zheng was thinking that everyone went except him.
Lian Zhuer received rewards from the emperor, but he didn't.
And Madam Wang...
She looked at her daughter, but her focus was on the old woman from the Cheng family.
I don't know why, but I always feel that my daughter is using that old woman to warn her.
Old Lady Cheng was abandoned by everyone in the Cheng family and was labeled as mentally ill. She...
"Tell the Marquis of Xinping that he can lock up the old lady, but he must give her enough money and never let anyone take advantage of her again."
Wang said, "This time, it seems that the emperor gave the reward, but it is too risky. From now on... you should also keep him in check."
Marquis Xinping owes the Jia family such a huge favor, and who knows what, his daughter's life will be many times better than hers in the future.
Wang was happy for her daughter, but at the same time she felt very disappointed.
The master has already written a letter of retirement today. In half a month at most, her imperial edict will be gone.
In the first house, everyone has an imperial decree, and in the second house...
Wang hated Jia Zheng's incompetence.
"besides……"
Wang looked at Jia Zheng and said, "Since your uncle and his men have gone, you should have told us at that time."
Now Zhu'er is the only one from the second house who received the reward. What's going on?
Marquis Xinping probably also looked down on his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
"…If I tell you, Dad and Mom, will you agree?"
Yuanchun didn't know why her parents liked to blame others so much, as if they were innocent and had done nothing wrong no matter what happened. "You won't agree."
"I'm your father!"
Jia Zheng was so angry that his face turned red. "No matter whether we agree or not, you and the Marquis of Xinping should come and tell us."
Who knows, he just went.
Lian Zhuer has gone, he...
Jia Zheng felt that as long as his daughter came and asked, he would definitely go.
It was his daughter who deprived him of the chance to be rewarded.
Deprived him of the opportunity to show his face in front of his tribe.
She was obviously his daughter, but it was his eldest brother and the nephew from the East Mansion who stepped forward to take action...
Jia Zheng was angry and embarrassed. "Now..." He closed his eyes and gasped. "Let's go quickly. We already know."
He really gave birth to a good daughter!
And my son...
The son went there by himself, without caring about his parents' life or death.
Jia Zheng felt dizzy and fell to the ground with a thud.
…
In Ningguo Mansion, on the top floor of Tianxiang Tower, a gentle breeze was blowing as Shen Ning was playing chess with Yingchun.
"The second sister is going to lose."
Daiyu smiled and said, "Second sister, just admit defeat!"
Because of a game of chess, I was sweating with anxiety. It was totally unnecessary! "Auntie..."
Yingchun was depressed, "Do I really have no way out?"
“…Maybe not!”
Shen Ning looked at the two of them calmly, "Anyway, you can still kill a lot of me here."
Huh? Not to mention Daiyu stretching her little head to try to see where the flaw is, even Min Mei, who was holding Jia Yue, couldn't help but look over here.
"Come on, let's see who can crack this game..."
Shen Ning thought for a moment and smiled: "Who can be like the old lady and order food in the kitchen for three days."
Ahhh? Everyone got excited.
They are now studying in Ningcuixuan and they eat here in the morning and at noon. The cooking skills of Aunt Li in the kitchen are truly amazing.
I heard that she can make different snacks and dishes every month.
For a moment, apart from Jia Yue who was mumbling "ah ah" and didn't understand anything, everyone else was racking their brains for a way out of the impasse.
"Aunt, what if this child comes here?"
Min Mei held her little cousin in one hand and put a black piece into the deadly place with the other hand.
"No, wouldn't that be giving my aunt many children for nothing?"
Yingchun objected.
"But..." Daiyu tilted her head, "Cousin Mei, even though she gave a lot to my aunt to eat, if we go further, she will come back to life and kill a large number of my aunt, and she won't be able to save her in time."
"That's it."
Min Mei looked at Shen Ning, her beautiful eyes gleaming, "Aunt, am I taking the right path?"
"…Congratulations, by the way."
Shen Ning smiled and nodded, "Starting tomorrow, you can order whatever you like."
"Wow, Cousin Mei, I love the steamed cheese made by Aunt Li."
"Cousin Mei, I, I, I like to eat Ruyi cakes."
"Hurry, hurry, write it all down."
Min Mei held little Jia Yue in her arms and said to Yingchun, Tanchun and little Daiyu, "We can't just talk about snacks. Aunt Li's honeycomb tofu is especially delicious."
"Yes, yes, yes, and there's also soft-shelled eel." Little Daiyu missed the famous dish from her hometown. "That time Aunt Li's soft-shelled eel was also delicious."
Tanchun was quick with her hands, and she would remember what everyone said.
Seeing that she had almost finished writing on a piece of paper, Shen Ning hurriedly added a dish, "Pine nut fish and rice, I also like this dish very much. We will eat it together then."
Jia Min and Jia Zhen, who were walking over, couldn't help laughing when they heard her say this. They walked up the stairs and said, "Sister-in-law, please add us two!"
"You guys still want to order food from me?"
Shen Ning looked speechless, "What doesn't the old lady have?"
"It's not as lively over there as it is over here."
"that is!"
A gust of wind blew, and the joyful cheers from Tianxiang Tower seemed to float to the sky.
Jia Yue was transferred from the care of this sister to the care of that aunt, and she had a lot of fun. By the time everyone left, she was so tired that she fell asleep without any coaxing.
The child's cheeks were chubby, and Shen Ning, who was holding him, couldn't help but kiss him again and again.
After what happened to the Cheng family, the daughters of the Jia family who get married in the future will no longer be easily bullied, right? And this little guy plays so well every day, how could he be so cold-hearted and become a monk?
When Shen Ning carried her little daughter back to the courtyard, she had no idea that at this moment, not only had Wang Ziteng realized how much of a role she had played in the changes in the Jia family and was going to target her, but Prince Jin had also reacted.
His money string is gone.
Lu Kun, known as the Western God of Wealth, came to the capital and helped the emperor.
Even if the battle in Ningxia was only a small victory, his throne would be secure.
Prince Jin sat in his study with a gloomy look on his face.
He felt they were targeting the wrong target.
Jia Jing couldn't cause much trouble in the Taoist temple, but Shen could really influence the Jia family.
Especially after Jia Zheng fell.
Jia She probably had reached the point of obeying every word of Shen, who helped him divide the family property and take back Rong Xi Tang.
Not to mention Jia Zhen.
And Jia Min...
The Shen family sent people to rescue one after another, but now Jia Min and Lin Ruhai don’t know how grateful they are.
How long has it been?
She was clearly half dead before, and everyone knew that she would not be able to escape childbirth.
King Jin gritted his teeth!
He doesn't care about the Jia family.
But he cared about that position.
Because of the Shen family, he was getting further and further away from that position.
Especially at noon, my mother sent someone to pass on such news.
King Jin couldn't accept this.
Now that the crown prince is gone, he is the one closest to the throne.
My father obviously liked him so much, and he was obviously confused for a moment, so he casually gave the throne to the most insignificant person.
Moreover, Prince Jin knew that his father had regretted his decision.
Father must give him a chance.
But now...
"Someone come!"
He knocked on the table three times.
A gust of wind came, and a secret guard appeared from nowhere. He knelt on one knee, "Master!"
"Look for an opportunity..."
Prince Jin said: "Madam Shen from Ningguo Mansion died unexpectedly."
What? Isn't Mrs. Shen a woman from the inner house?
What they have been doing is...
The secret guard was a little stunned, but soon reacted, "Yes!"
As secret guards, they just have to follow their master's orders.
"Remember, don't reveal your true identity. She... can only be an accident."
Acts like the assassination of Jia Zhen in the street could only be done by a fool.
Whenever his secret guards took action, there were always surprises.
The Prince of Jin re-examined the key to the Jia family's restoration to favor, and felt that it lay in the assassination of Jia Zhen.
His father started thinking about his so-called old brother again.
That's why he found a reason to reward Shen with the first-rank imperial decree.
In Shen's case, her first-rank imperial edict was probably obtained from the emperor.
After all, when Jia Jing was with his father, he couldn't even inherit the title of the Ningguo Mansion.
So, she was helping the emperor.
She has always been helping the emperor.
Prince Jin regretted so much that he shouldn't have listened to his mother and hooked up with Yuanchun.
What rare commodity is there? If he pushed Yuanchun to the emperor, how difficult would it be for him to win her heart again? And the emperor is not a fool.
King Jin closed his eyes, and after the secret guards retreated silently, he said, "Someone come."
"The servant is here!"
Wu Rubao ran in quickly.
"Go check Prince Nan'an's attitude towards the Cheng family."
The Cheng family is protected by the Prince of Nan'an.
After being slapped in the face by the Jia family, he couldn't just do nothing, right? "Your Majesty, then...then what about the Xinping Marquis..."
"Did the king ask you about the Marquis of Xinping?"
What is Cheng Luo? King Jin was very angry.
He is the most favored prince, and what is Baofeng? The least favored princess.
But it was she who actually took care of someone who was also unpopular and almost died of a high fever.
If she had not taken action back then, many people in the harem would have died of illness. How could that person have been crowned the emperor?
"Why don't you go get some work done?"
"Yes! Yes, yes!"
Wu Rubao went to work in a hurry.
