Chapter 281 Smashing the Door
My son is here.
Wang, who was being held down by the old woman, burst into tears.
Both she and Jia Zheng began to have hope of survival.
In the East and West Mansions, their Zhuer is the most promising one among her peers.
Would the old lady be willing to let him observe mourning at this time and miss the best time to be an examiner? As long as the old lady is reluctant, Shen will always find a way.
Didn’t you just say support your brother-in-law?
She could take it back. She could say that she drove her and Jia Zheng out of the house out of jealousy and hatred. She could walk all the way with a whip on her back to apologize.
Anyway, Wang just doesn't want to die.
After taking the medicine, her lower abdomen really hurt.
She hasn’t fully recovered from the last time she fell ill.
Wang felt that if she didn't ask a doctor to prescribe the right medicine quickly, she might die within three days.
She struggled hard, but fortunately the old woman was sensible and let go when she heard the old lady and Zhu'er were coming.
"Pearl, Pearl, my Pearl~~~~"
When Wang called her son anxiously, Jia Zheng hurriedly followed.
The familiar footsteps soon sounded, but they sounded a little weak.
Both of them suspected that their son had suffered a lot in order to pray for their lives.
only……
"Father, Mother~"
His parents looked like they had suffered a lot. Jia Zhu felt distressed and powerless. When he knelt on the ground, he was so agitated that he started coughing again.
The old women who were in charge of watching them were all shocked to see such a great man.
"Pearl, Pearl~"
Jia Zheng was shaking his hands, feeling short of breath as he looked at his son's hair. At that moment, Wang had already stumbled down from the kang and stroked her son's hair, trembling all over. "Zhu'er, my Zhu'er," she cried as she called her son's name. "Why is your hair turning white? Ah~ah~ah~~~~, my Zhu'er, how did you become like this?"
The pain and regret at this moment really overwhelmed Wang.
She finally realized how uncomfortable her son would feel when he heard Shen speak like that, considering his respect and filial piety towards her.
Every time he brought Baoyu and Huan'er here, he always said good things about Shen. When Shen got something good, she never showed favoritism to others. Whatever others had, their brothers and sisters also had.
But the more they said that, the more Wang hated them.
During her absence, her sons treated their archenemy, Shen, as their own mother.
She and Jia Zheng asked them in detail about their lives and studies, trying to find some flaws, but... they never found any.
It seemed that without her and Jia Zheng, all of them were better off.
Even Baoyu smiles more often.
Since entering and leaving the ancestral hall, Wang Shi hasn't seen Baoyu smile for a long time.
The child was forced by her and Jia Zheng to run to the East Palace to learn martial arts with Jiao Da.
Wang always thought that he couldn't bear this hardship.
Moreover, Baoyu has always been in very weak health.
Maybe after a few minor illnesses, the old lady would force him to come back.
But unexpectedly, the child persisted.
Since entering the East Palace to practice martial arts, he has never been sick even once.
now……
"My Pearl, my Pearl, I was wrong, I was wrong, God should punish me, why did he punish you?"
Wang hugged her son and cried bitterly.
"Mother~"
Jia Zhu's tears also fell.
He always knew that his mother wanted the best for him.
But there are some things that you really can't reach out for.
God may have punished his mother a long time ago.
But the punishment was not on the mother herself, but on 'him', the one she cherished the most.
"Please mother, please have some pity on your son and change your ways in the future!"
This sentence was changed. It struck Wang's heart and she burst into tears on the spot.
"Stupid woman, you still have the nerve to cry?"
When Lady Jia came in, she looked at her second son with a heartbroken look, and she really wanted to skin Wang Shi alive, "Hurry up, old woman, shut up! Don't you know that the ground is cold? Do you want to kill my Zhu'er?"
Wang's heart skipped a beat. She didn't even bother to cry and hurried to help Jia Zhu.
But she didn't have much strength now, so it was Nanny Lai who came to help her.
"Light up the kang, Zhu'er, lie down first."
Grandmother Jia felt sorry for her children and grandchildren, so she told the maid, "Boil the medicine you brought."
"Mother~~~"
Jia Zheng felt hopeful and took a step forward in a hurry.
"You have to thank your sister-in-law. She loves Zhu'er so much that she doesn't want him to die of exhaustion."
Grandmother Jia sighed, "But the death penalty can be pardoned, but the living crime cannot be forgiven."
“Yes, yes!”
Jia Zheng looked at Shen Ning who was slowly coming in, and knelt down in shame, "Thank you, sister-in-law, Zheng~ was wrong."
Shen Ning: “…”
She stood at the door for a moment, glanced at Jia Zheng, said nothing, and did not go into the inner room, but walked straight to the chair padded by Qingzhu.
Two idiots, nothing worth her saying.
It doesn’t matter whether you admit your mistake or not.
The braziers and hand warmers were quickly arranged by the maids and servants around them, and Jia Zheng inside also got up amid Jia Mu's sigh.
No one dared to pull him up, and he himself didn't dare to get up, so it was the old lady who helped him.
"If you don't want to die, go outside and apologize to your sister-in-law!"
The old lady glanced at Wang who was still busy with Jia Zhu's hair, her eyes became stern, and she said, "Don't be so hypocritical here. Zhu'er is all harmed by you."
She harmed me, she harmed me...
Wang seemed to be unable to bear it and her body swayed.
People who believe in Buddhism always believe in cause and effect.
In the past, when she was at home, she would go to the small Buddhist temple to confess to the Bodhisattva, and the compassionate Bodhisattva would always forgive her.
But here...
Jia Zhu squeezed his mother's hand worriedly.
Wang quickly pulled herself together and gave her son a reassuring smile, "Mom will be back soon."
She hated Chen Ning, but seeing Zhu'er like this..., she had to bow her head.
"Sister-in-law, I was wrong, please hit me and scold me!"
Wang Shi endured the discomfort in her stomach, strode out, and knelt down in front of Shen Ning, "I was just angry with Jia Zheng, so I spoke without thinking."
If she had known this, she would never have said those words.
"Sister-in-law, it's all my fault!"
Jia Zheng, who was a step slow, finally came out and admitted his mistake.
"I dare not accept the gift from the Second Master and Second Mistress. I am only here for the sake of the Old Mistress and Zhu'er."
Chen Ning held the hand warmer and said in a faint voice, "In this life, there is no such thing as forgiveness between us."
Many people may think that Jia Zheng is much better than Jia She and Jia Zhen.
He keeps himself clean, has few concubines, and tries his best to control his descendants.
But what is the reality?
Because of the old lady, Jia Zheng is the real head of Rongguo Mansion.
Therefore, he was called Master in the mansion, and Jia She was called the Big Master.
As for Jia Zhen...
He had very poor personal morals. First, he had an affair with Qin Keqing, and then he had an affair with You Erjie and You Sanjie during the period of national and family mourning. He also participated in gambling in groups. However, for a wealthy family, this was far from the point where his property would be confiscated and he would be exiled.
The crime of the Jia family mainly lies in the side taken by the head of the family.
Jia Zheng was dull and stupid and was taken advantage of without knowing it. He made no achievements in the court. Not only did he cause trouble for the people when he was sent to work as an official in a remote place, but he was also fooled by his servants and asked to take money from his home...
It is said that he disciplines Baoyu, which means he disciplines him when he remembers to do so. Most of the time he doesn't care about him. All day long, he keeps a bunch of hangers-on and seeks the reputation of a gentleman.
Daiyu often quarreled with Baoyu in that house, and said coquettishly, "I'll tell my uncle." That was her recognition of her uncle. She thought her uncle was a good person and would make decisions for her no matter what happened.
But what is the reality? Wang made things difficult for her time and time again, but this so-called uncle never said a word for her.
Jia Zheng misled everyone with his image of a decent gentleman.
Anyway, all the bad things have nothing to do with him, he doesn't know, he is not there.
He listens to his mother, he listens to his wife, he listens to his mother-in-law...
Shen Ning deeply hated such people.
Being obviously bad can make people around him wary, but someone like Jia Zheng... if one is not careful, he will really bring them to death.
Even when you were implicated and killed by him, he still looked so innocent that I didn't know.
But does he really know nothing?
He secretly lived in Rong Xi Tang, but pretended to live in a side room, which showed that he knew he was not in the right position.
"There is a God above us. If you drink the medicine and escape with your life, think about your children before you say or do anything else!"
Shen Ning had already seen Wang's retribution, and she was not very happy in her heart. Instead, she felt indescribably depressed.
This couple can neither act as a father nor a mother, they only have themselves in their hearts and eyes.
I just hope that after this time, I can be a human being again! Shen Ning stood up directly and said to Jia Mu: “Aunt, I will not participate in the affairs here. Shou’er will stay and take the compensation they should give and give it to the poor families in the village.”
"yes!"
Shou'er nodded vigorously.
Although I don’t know what the compensation is, since my wife has said it, I think no one would dare not give it.
"Okay, walk slower."
Grandmother Jia thought it was great that Chen Ning could go along.
Besides, She'er is here, so it would be better for everyone if he stays away.
"Zhen'er," the old lady ordered Jia Zhen, "serve your mother well when she returns home."
"yes!"
Jia Zhen quickly agreed and came over to support his mother.
Shen Ning walked out, nodded to Jia She who dared not speak, and soon got on the carriage again, walking slowly back.
"Mother, you..."
Jia Zhen was sitting in the carriage, feeling very nervous.
He originally wanted to ask, what are you doing here? Just let them die, but when the words came to his lips, he thought of Jia Zhu's hair and had to swallow them back.
"It's been five days. Do you think the rumors can be stopped?"
Chen Ning held the hand warmer, feeling very disappointed, "Do you believe it or not, once the news of their death spreads, your mother will not be able to clear herself even if she jumps into the Yellow River?"
Jia Zhen: “…”
"I told you to use your brain more, why don't you use it?"
Shen Ning had a headache, "Did you see Zhu'er's hair? Do you believe it or not, Jia Zheng and his wife are really going to die like this? Not to mention what happened to him, just the old lady, if I don't lose half my life, the old lady will hate our family."
"…My son is wrong!"
But he didn't dare tell his mother about this at the time!
Jia Zhen felt very aggrieved.
He didn't sleep last night.
"However, it was Uncle She who facilitated Jia Zheng's death."
He just played a supporting role nearby.
"Mother, that rumor..."
"If the enemy comes, we will stop him; if the water comes, we will drown it."
Chen Ning snorted coldly, "With your father's pearls and jades in front of you, how many men in this world can catch my eye?"
Jia Zhen: “…”
He was very happy for his deceased father.
"If someone really believes it and tells you about it, you should just give them a slap in the face."
Shen Ning found a comfortable position to lean back, "It's not enough to just beat them up, beat them up at their home, and then go to Shuntian Prefecture to sue them for verbal abuse. If they are really powerful, then go to the Imperial Court to file a complaint."
If we don't suppress those villains who only focus on women's private affairs, they don't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is.
Shen Ning thought of something and said, "Oh, by the way, go home and bring a few more palace guards to smash the gate of the Wang family for me. If Wang Zisheng and Wang Ren dare to stop me, I will beat them up together."
"Hey~"
Jia Zhen agreed loudly.
He liked his mother's anger.
Because Yuanchun and her family couldn't divorce Wang, but the Wang family deserved to be beaten back for raising a woman like Wang.
"Also, find someone to keep an eye on the south and see what Wang Ziteng has been doing recently."
"yes!"
What Shen Ning feared was still Wang Ziteng.
Although Wang Ziteng in the Dream of Red Mansions has never appeared in person, among the four major families, he is the one who has a say in the court.
The emperor promoted him all the way from being in charge of the Beijing Camp to being in charge of nine provinces. It seemed like he trusted him, but in fact he wanted him to leave the Beijing Camp.
The Beijing Camp is the top priority for the safety of the capital.
"If Jia Lian comes back, tell him so that he can pay attention to the situation in the south."
I hope Wang Ziteng will not commit suicide when the Prince of Nan'an hands over the military power.
"If there is anything, send a message home immediately."
"Yes," Jia Zhen nodded, "We talked about this before we left Beijing last time. We agreed at that time that if there was anything going on in Beijing or in the army, he would use the military channels to send us a message."
"As long as you know the number."
Shen Ning felt a little relieved, "Go home and gather the elders of the clan and tell them about Wang's matter. If they still have any punishment for Wang and Jia Zheng, let them tell the old lady themselves."
"My son saved it."
It has been five days. By now, those who are well-informed may have heard what Wang said.
In fact, the speed at which rumors spread today is indeed much faster than in the past two days.
Especially the Huitong Hall.
Originally, Jia Zheng, the exiled second master of the Rongguo Mansion, was one of the breakthroughs they wanted to find.
Originally, they did not take Wang's suggestion of raising a younger brother-in-law seriously, because in their place, when a brother dies, it is normal for someone else to inherit his brother's woman.
But the guards who were watching the Jia family came back and said that Jia Zhen and Jia She had left home early this morning and went straight to Jia Zheng who was in exile, and they became anxious.
Finally, I remembered that this is the Central Plains, and a woman's reputation is as important as her life.
Shen's...
Suo Jin really couldn't bear to think about that woman. He couldn't help gritting his teeth when he thought about her.
Finally, they can find a way to kill her, right? He was willing to spend money to help her support the rumor about her brother-in-law.
However, the wish is very good. Originally, this yellow rumor was spread well, but in the end, once someone offered money, they would still pay the same money as the gold man in the hall...
Some people secretly took the money and helped spread more rumors, but there were also people who shouted out in public that Huitong Hall paid them to help spread the rumors.
