Chapter 68: Selling "misery" (Part 2)
After seeing off Lady Jia and her group, Shen Ning leaned on the couch, feeling a headache.
What is Jia Jing trying to do? Is he playing a pity game? Does he want people to know that the Jia family is in trouble?
So first he couldn't protect the Wang family, and now they're being attacked at home? Shen Ning rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache and tiredness.
She was too lazy to write to that person anymore.
Helping the Jia family to gain sympathy may be, in his opinion, the best way out for his family.
In order to find this way out, he even took action against her and the baby in her belly.
Shen Ning held her stomach and turned over, deciding to pretend that she didn't see it.
Let’s wait until she gives birth to the baby before we talk about everything!
Otherwise, no matter how busy you are, you will most likely end up making things difficult for others.
"Ma'am, you can't sleep for a while."
Mrs. Liu felt that she was going to sleep, so she stepped forward to stop her, "If you sleep now, it will be hard to get through the night."
The child has already adapted to her original routine, and once it changes, he may also change accordingly. If he turns over a few more times in his body, the umbilical cord may get wrapped around his neck, which would be terrible.
Shen Ning had no choice but to sit up, "I won't sleep." She had to find something to do, "By the way, where's Liu Tang? Why hasn't he come yet? Didn't you invite him?"
That person wants to live by the Jia family, so even if he doesn't have time today, he should reply, right? "While you were chatting with the old lady, the servant came back and said that Master Chen was flirting with him over there."
Qing Ping stepped forward and said, "Mr. Kui originally refused to open the door, but he actually knelt down in the street."
Today, the country is governed by filial piety.
No matter how many mistakes Chen Chong made, many people thought that Liu Tang was wrong just by kneeling like that.
"Mr. Kui and Mr. Liu had no choice but to invite him in."
"…Hasn't the relationship already been severed?"
Even my eldest son changed his last name yesterday.
How could Chen Chong have the nerve to look for someone again?
"Master Chen unilaterally refused to acknowledge him and just kept relying on Master Liu. Master Liu probably couldn't do anything about it."
This? That's true.
In modern times, we can’t do anything about those deadbeat fathers, let alone now.
Shen Ning was still angry with Jia Jing, and said directly: "Tell the master to control Chen Chong and tell him that if he dares to harass Liu Tang again..., I will make trouble for the Chen and Wang families."
In this era, clan law is sometimes even more important than national law.
Chen Chong is an official appointed by the court and is not easy to fight, but they can let the Chen family members cause trouble for him themselves.
"yes!"
Qingping quickly winked at the maid, and when she saw her running out, she hurriedly advised: "Madam, the kitchen has just made a new crispy sesame glutinous rice cake. Would you like to try two pieces?" They were all small snacks, and it should be okay for Madam to eat two pieces.
In the past, whenever my wife was unhappy, she would eat a snack and immediately feel better.
Qingping hopes that she can still be the same as before.
But Shen Ning really had no appetite at the moment, "...Forget it, if we eat now, we won't be able to eat in the evening. You can divide it among yourselves. Oh, and send some to Qingzhu as well."
"yes!"
Qingping blamed the old lady of Xifu in her heart.
Their wives were very nice before, but it was that old lady who insisted on pulling the wives aside to talk about something private. Now, she left happily, but made their wives unhappy.
Why come to see their wives? They are obviously here to cause trouble.
As Shen Ning's personal maid, she naturally stood on the side of her wife.
"Don't worry."
Seeing Qing Ping's worried look, Shen Ning patted her hand soothingly, "There are just some things I haven't figured out yet."
In the Dream of the Red Chamber, when Qin Keqing died, almost all the four kings and eight dukes were present. Was it really just because of Qin Keqing's identity? Is there a possibility that they were there for Jia Jing's sake?
Also, would such a smart person really fall into the trap of the elixir and eventually die from taking the elixir? Would he have to die? Moreover, after his death, the emperor generously issued an additional decree, posthumously granting him a fifth-rank position, and ordering Guang Temple to offer sacrifices according to the above example, and allowing the princes and nobles in the court to offer him sacrifices and condolences.
This is very intriguing.
At that time, the emperor was completely relieved about the Jia family, right?
It seemed that his grace was fueling the arrogance of Jia Zhen and others, so that they all became complacent, disregarding filial piety to their families and the country, and had secret affairs with You Erjie and You Sanjie.
Eh? No, his father is dead, why is the eldest son so happy? Or does he also know the problems of the Jia family and hope his father will die? Hiss~ It is true that if you want to kill someone, you must first make him crazy!
Shen Ning let out a breath of turbid air, "Think it through... and everything will be fine."
Nowadays, playing the victim is indeed a way out.
Then..., let Jia Zhen also have an accident?
Anyway, Shen Ning couldn't bear to leave Jia Rong.
He is still a child, and this is a critical time for him to study and practice martial arts, so he can't delay.
And she was pregnant, so it was bad luck.
Youshi was a second wife and her status was not high enough.
No matter how you look at it, Jia Zhen is the more suitable person in the whole family.
"Go, find Jiao Da." Shen Ning turned the jade bracelet on her hand, "I have something to tell him."
At this time, Jia Zhen, who was heading towards Jia Kui's house, had no idea that his mother had already set her eyes on his legs.
With guards in front, behind, and even on the left and right of him, when he arrived at Jia Kui's house, he didn't even knock on the door, but directly signaled the guards to kick the door.
With a loud bang, the door collapsed.
Chen Chong, who was trying hard to beg his son and Jia Kui to let the Chen family go, was heartbroken when he heard the voice.
Sure enough, it was Jia Zhen who came.
Chen Chong watched him step over the collapsed gate, and the blue veins on his forehead jumped a few more times.
"Master Jia!"
His legs went limp and he knelt down on the spot, "Please, for the sake of your mother's safety, and for the sake of your Jia family's continued efforts to bring good fortune to the child in her belly, just ignore our family!"
If he had known that stupid woman Wang would be so stupid as to resist even after the Jia family came, he would have restrained her early on.
Chen Chong regretted it deeply. "As long as you agree, I will never embarrass Liu Tang again from now on."
Is it okay for him to agree to sever ties?
"Hey~, is not making things difficult for Liu Tang considered a condition?"
Jia Zhen smiled with a fake smile, "Master Chen, you are very good at calculating!"
“…”
Chen Chong wiped his face and said, "I dare not. Lord Jia has conditions. As long as Chen can do it, I will do my best."
"First, all of Liu Tang's mother's dowry, including her production over the years, will be transferred to Liu Tang."
Jia Zhen drank a sip of tea that Jia Kui personally served, and then said, "Second, either you divorce the evil woman of the Wang family. Or...slap her in the face 100 times. Remember, after you slap her in the face, I want to see eight big teeth fall out."
“…”
Chen Chong's lips trembled, not knowing whether she should stand up.
He could do neither of these two things.
First of all, he couldn't afford to give up Liu's dowry.
When I married her, I was attracted by her dowry.
Although he made a lot of money in the Ministry of Works in recent years, Liu's farm and shop were also very successful.
In the past ten years, I have accumulated at least 8,000 silver coins, if not 10,000.
If they really have to pay it back, how will their family live? No, even the house is her dowry.
He will be homeless.
"It seems that you are unwilling?"
Jia Zhen still had a smiling face, "That's fine, it's just right, I haven't let out enough anger yet, I can follow the original plan and search through your Chen family's genealogy from top to bottom. What do you think... is it better to break a leg or a broken arm?
Or, to be more direct, cut off their third leg. People like you... don't deserve to have offspring."
If you don't cherish what you have, it's better not to have it.
"Oh, and the Wang family, and your close friends."
Jia Zhen threatened openly, "As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. You..."
"I agree!" Chen Chong didn't dare to think about the consequences, and finally said in a hoarse voice: "I agree to all your conditions."
Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west.
He just didn't believe that the Jia family could always be so successful.
If the people from the Imperial Censorate could impeach him for not managing his household properly, then Jia Zhen... that would be robbery.
At that time, he still didn't believe that the people from the Imperial Censorate would let him go.
"Please, have mercy on me and spare my family and friends."
Chen Chong fell to the ground, hiding the murderous intent in his eyes.
At this moment, he actually wanted to say that Jia Zheng was also his friend.
If you have the guts, go ahead and attack him!
Sorry, I had guests at home and was busy all day, so this update is really late.
