Chapter 225 Historian
Someone from the Zhen family is coming?
At this time, are the people from the Zhen family still running to their Jia family?
When Grandmother Jia heard this, she was in a very bad mood.
"Mother!"
Jia She hurried into the house and said, "My son asked someone to follow the maids from the Zhen family. They not only came to our house, but also went to the Nan'an Palace and the Shi family."
What? Grandmother Jia stood up at once, "Baolinghou Mansion?"
The one who is most in need of money right now is the Bowling Marquis Mansion.
"yes!"
Jia She nodded quickly.
"Did Shi Nai let anyone in?"
“…”
Jia She didn't say anything, but he nodded.
"Prepare the car!"
Grandmother Jia was so angry that she wanted to hit someone, "She'er, come with me." Since it was about her mother's family, she couldn't help but care about it.
She was very upset because of the nephews' quarrel over the money issue.
But she was already the ancestor of the Jia family and had children and grandchildren of her own. Even if she wanted to help, she couldn't do it too obviously.
now……
Grandmother Jia was afraid that if she didn't care anymore, the title that her father had fought so hard for would be lost.
"Mother~"
Jia She hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "If my cousin says that they are relatives there, and we should meet them to preserve the relationship, then...what position can we speak from?"
Grandmother Jia: “…”
She understood what her son meant.
In fact, her nephew Shi Nai had a rift with her because of the title issue.
She had three nephews from her mother's side. The eldest nephew was weak and died early, so she thought that the third nephew Shi Ding was a martial artist and had more abilities.
However, the retired emperor gave the title to his second nephew Shi Nai.
Now, my mother's family cares about face.
She went back with good intentions and said that Shi Nai might still develop a rebellious mentality.
Alas~ "That's all!"
Grandmother Jia was helpless. "Let Lin Zhixiao go to the Shi family and bring Xiangyun over. Also..., let him find a way to tell them that our family kicked the Zhen family out. Just say..., we received a letter from Uncle Lin, saying that the Emperor has someone watching all the Zhen family's affairs."
This? It's a solution.
"Son, I'll go right away."
Jia She walked away in a hurry.
Grandmother Jia felt upset and leaned on the couch, "Yuanyang, ask the fourth aunt to come over."
If the Zhen family falls, there will definitely be turmoil in Jiangnan.
I don’t know if my son-in-law has any way to deal with it.
"By the way, send someone to the East Palace to invite Shen over to me."
The Shi family is also Zhen'er's maternal family. Considering her deceased mother-in-law, perhaps Shen would be able to find a solution.
So, Shen Ning, who had just returned home and changed her clothes, was invited over.
In the Dream of the Red Chamber, the Shi family was convicted earlier than the Jia family.
It seems that the Jia family did accept the Zhen family’s property.
That……
"Niece-in-law, what do you think about this?"
Grandmother Jia asked Shen Ning first.
“…”
What do you think? Whoever touches it will die!
The Zhen family has been in Jiangnan for many years and has almost become a local tyrant.
The emperor is fine, and the emperor will not take any action.
But now...
Shen Ning sighed in her heart, "In those years, the Zhen family stood behind the King of Jin. The Emperor could only swallow his anger because of the Emperor Emeritus. He has been enduring for a long time... When he can vent his anger, it will not be gentle and mellow."
"Mother, didn't you ask Lin Zhixiao to warn you through Ru Hai?"
Jia Min said, "Cousin, you're not that stupid, are you?"
It's hard to say.
Grandmother Jia was helpless. "Your second cousin is old-fashioned. He has to pay off the debt to the national treasury. Life at home is very difficult. Your cousin's wife has been very close to the Zhen family over the years. What if she is embarrassed by some relationship or has some ulterior motives... What will happen to this family?"
My third nephew earned his title with his own sword and gun. If he gets implicated again...
Grandmother Jia couldn't just ignore it, "Niece-in-law, can you let Zhen'er go to the palace and tell the emperor about this matter?"
Shen Ning: “…”
"Then I will ask Lin Zhixiao to go to the Shi family and tell them that Zhen'er is angry with the Zhen family because of his father. Your second cousin is a timid person, so maybe he will take the initiative to hand over the things he collected."
"Mother~"
Jia Min was speechless and anxious at the same time.
What does the Shi family’s affairs have to do with Zhen’er?
During those years, my uncle and father passed away, my elder brother Jing and his wife took refuge in a Taoist temple, and the Shi family almost cut off all ties with the East Palace.
Why should Zhen'er run around for them now?
Jia Min came back and investigated a lot of things.
"Do you know how many houses have been raided these days? If my second cousin was really timid, he wouldn't have met with the Zhen family at this time."
She didn't want her sister-in-law to say no.
That would cause some difficulties between my sister-in-law and my mother.
Jia Min first refused on behalf of Shen Ning, "You have already done everything you should do in this matter. As for the rest...it all depends on their own luck!"
Can……
Grandmother Jia knew that her request was a bit excessive, but that was her mother's home!
"Forget it," the old lady sighed, "I am just desperate and trying all kinds of methods. This matter..."
"Aunt, have you sent anyone to visit my third cousin?"
Of course Shen Ning didn't want Jia Zhen to get involved in this matter.
The Shi family in the Red Mansion was raided first, and the problem might be more serious than that of the Jia family. "It might be more convenient for our third cousin to do what we can't do."
"They have always been at odds with each other."
If it were good, Shi Ding would not have gone to the border town in the first place.
"No matter how much they disagree, they are still brothers."
Shen Ning said: "Besides, if you don't want your second cousin to implicate your third cousin, it's better to let him know as soon as possible."
This? Grandmother Jia was anxious all of a sudden, "Yuanyang, go and call your master over."
We have to ask the eldest son to talk to Shi Ding.
After a while, Jia She hurried out. Shen Ning couldn't sit still because she had something on her mind, so she said goodbye and left.
"Sister-in-law~"
Jia Min sent her off, "Mother is confused, you don't have to..."
Shen Ning patted her hands, "I know everything. If something happened to my mother's family, I would be anxious too."
This is human nature.
"Go back and comfort her. The old lady is old and it's almost the New Year. Nothing can happen to her."
Grandmother Jia is not in good health.
When Lin Daiyu entered the Jia Mansion for the first time, she took ginseng nourishing pills, which Grandmother Jia also often took.
Later, when Granny Liu visited the Rongguo Mansion for the second time, she took many of the prescriptions that the old lady had given her when she left.
"As for the Shi family, I will talk to Zhen'er when I get back to see if he has any solution."
The original body's mother-in-law was also a member of the Shi family.
Before she died, she gave all the things under her name to her original owner.
Just based on this point, Shen Ning would not sit idly by if she could help.
"Hmm~"
Jia Min nodded, "Then I will go back to see my mother."
The Jia family is lucky to have a sensible sister-in-law.
Jia Min did not insist and quickly went back to comfort her mother.
On this side, Shen Ning returned home from the connected corner gate and immediately called Jia Zhen.
Jia Zhen, who had just returned from playing with his wife for a long time, brought a large food box with him.
"Let Aunt Li have a taste."
Shen Ning was not in the mood now, so she waved her hand and asked Qing Zhu to take it away, "Maybe she can make it later."
"Mother, I heard that you went out to play today too?"
Jia Zhen felt that his mother's face was not very good, so he flattered her: "Son knows where to have fun. I will take you there tomorrow."
"Don't talk about that."
Shen Ning waved her hand, signaling the maids to go out, "Have you met your uncle Zheng in Nancheng?"
"yes!"
Jia Zhen said, "Didn't my son tell you? I watched him from a distance, but I didn't speak to him."
"...Have you ever noticed the beggars there...?"
beggar?
Jia Zhen didn't know why he had to pay attention to beggars.
"Mother, is there anything wrong with the beggars there?"
Or was it that his mother was being kind again? Jia Zhen now had no objection to his mother being kind.
My sister has been healthy and well since she was born, and she is growing up beautifully.
He and Youshi had never thought that they could have another child, but now they have one.
Jia Zhen couldn't help but feel a little awed in his heart.
"If you feel the weather is cold, should I ask someone to donate some thick clothes?"
"That's not necessary!"
Shen Ning shook his head and sighed, "I saw a beggar today. His legs and arms seemed to be inconvenient. He was crawling on the ground begging for food. Not only that, his throat seemed to be broken, and he could only scream 'Ahhh'. But..., he seemed to know me."
Know his mother? His mother never leaves the house, so who could know her? Jia Zhen's heart skipped a beat. "Then do you know him?"
"He also had a wound on his face."
Shen Ning frowned, "It seems like he was scratched on purpose, so that no one could recognize him."
This? Jia Zhen asked seriously, "Who do you think he is, mother?"
"King Jin!"
What? Jia Zhen's face turned pale.
"I didn't think of him as the King of Jin at first." Shen Ning said, "So, when he attracted me by knocking on the stone, I didn't pay attention. But later, the more I thought about it... the more I felt that he was like the King of Jin."
That……
Jia Zhen swallowed his saliva and asked, "If he is the Prince of Jin, what would mother want to do?"
"Pretend you don't know and didn't see it."
Shen Ning said: "I'm telling you this because I'm afraid you'll run into him if you go to South City again."
If I could run into her, maybe I could also run into Jia Zhen.
"That Mr. Liu has not been found yet."
That person is the key.
"My son knows."
Jia Zhen nodded hurriedly, "My son will not go to South City again."
"That's all right."
Shen Ning nodded, "After the New Year, we will carry the coffin back to our hometown. You Shi is pregnant and cannot come with us, you..."
"My son plans to ask his third aunt to come over to help take care of the child."
Jia Zhen had discussed this with Youshi long ago, "It just so happens that my sisters are all studying here, and we can rest assured that they will be with us."
"Then you should tell your third aunt in advance."
Shen Ning thought so too.
Jia Zhen has a gentle personality, and Bo Ge'er is growing up. When there is something going on at home, she can ask Bo Ge'er to run errands.
"Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to wait until next year!"
"Um!"
Jia Zhen nodded, "Son knows, and I'm going to ask my cousin Bai for help."
Youshi is pregnant, and having more people at home will always make us feel more at ease. "The only problem now is the Qin family."
It was originally agreed that Rong Ge'er would get married next year.
But now...
"The marriage has been decided. Although we can't get married now, we can still let Qin come over from time to time under the pretext of taking care of your wife."
Qin Zhong wants to study at the Jia family.
Qin Keqing is still young and can read more books with Mr. Zhan.
Shen Ning said: "Well, I will write a letter tomorrow and have someone send it to the Qin family."
During the days when she was sick, Qin Keqing came over several times.
But later, Qin Keqing herself fell ill and did not come.
“Hey~”
Jia Zhen nodded and said, "Then my son will also write a letter to Lord Qin."
If you ask someone's daughter to help take care of your wife, you must tell your in-laws.
"become!"
The major issues were resolved. Shen Ning took a sip of tea and said, "There is one more thing. Someone from the Zhen family is here."
The emperor actually knew the news that someone from the Zhen family was coming.
Although the family emblem on the carriage had been worn off, he had already been keeping an eye on the Zhen family and knew everything about their movements.
Want to hide your belongings?
Then hide!
The emperor snorted coldly.
He was just about to see who else in the capital was close to the Zhen family.
Helping a criminal official to hide property is also a crime.
The emperor was not afraid of carrying out a purge in the court.
Once it's done, it will be more convenient for him to do his work.
"Liu An!"
"The servant is here."
Eunuch Liu quickly responded.
"You go..." The emperor thought for a moment, "tell Concubine Zhen about the Zhen family's affairs."
He also wanted to see how many people that man had in the palace.
"By the way, tell her that Zhen Yingjia will be arriving in Beijing almost tomorrow."
However, he did not enter the capital in a carriage as an official, but was escorted to the capital as a criminal.
"yes!"
Eunuch Liu left in a hurry.
In the small Buddhist temple, Concubine Zhen's hair was almost completely white.
The Prince of Jin's Mansion discovered the hidden armor and imperial robes, so whether his son was missing or not, he could not escape.
None of her grandchildren escaped either. They were all sent to a village for criminals, and had to find food on their own from then on.
How can we find it? Without an adult to protect it, even if we find it, it will be snatched away by others.
Concubine Zhen suspected that Prince Jing and Prince An were secretly resenting their son for his poor judgment of people, which brought them misfortune.
If they can't find their son to take revenge on, they will definitely take their anger out on the children.
Concubine Zhen suffered every day.
She has only three grandchildren in total, from three different mothers.
I'm afraid they can't stick together.
Maybe……
Concubine Zhen suspected that they would never grow up.
Perhaps one of the grandchildren is dying now.
This is... retribution! Concubine Zhen now has nightmares whenever she falls asleep.
It was either the prince's rage, or her sons and grandsons bleeding from all seven orifices, begging her for help.
But what else could an old woman trapped in a Buddhist temple do? In this life, she has always been dependent on the emperor.
What can she do when the emperor can't make his own decisions?
Concubine Zhen felt very upset.
Among the sixteen sons of the retired emperor, which one was not favored more than the emperor? But what about now?
Only the emperor is left.
Now, she hasn't committed suicide yet, she just wants to wait for her parents' home.
My son is dead, and my mother's family... may not be able to escape either.
Although she thought so, Concubine Zhen still held out a little hope.
If the brothers were smart enough and willing to spend all their money to repay the debt, the emperor might not be too cruel and at least leave a few people in their Zhen family.
Where there are talents, there is hope.
Only someone... can save her grandson.
Concubine Zhen wanted to leave a bloodline for her son.
She also hopes that her parents can help her find her son.
As long as we can find..., as long as there is evidence that he was also coerced, then everything will be different.
Even if it is something copied from Prince Jin's mansion, it can be used to frame someone.
