Chapter 15: Anger
If possible, Jia Zhen really wanted to find a reason to follow Uncle Zheng.
My mother didn't give Uncle Zheng any face at all today, which shows that what happened yesterday is still not over.
He spared Lai Sheng's family...
Jia Zhen's calves felt a little numb.
It’s not that his mother doesn’t hit people, but when she gets really angry, even his father has to give in.
What to do? "Mother!"
Jia Zhen didn't dare to run, for fear that running would make her angry again.
Thinking of yesterday's danger, he rubbed his face, went in with a smile, and personally served Shen Ning a cup of tea, "This is it."
Jia Zhen gave a thumbs up and said, "Uncle Zheng was scared by you today."
"...Don't be so playful with me." Shen Ning waved at Qingzhu and the others, signaling them to go out. "Let me ask you, why doesn't your uncle Zheng allow Jiao Da to enter the school?"
Huh? Isn't this obvious?
The Jia family's ancestors had long since prepared the path for them to give up military affairs and pursue literature.
Jia Zhen stared with a pair of stupid eyes, but didn't dare to say it directly.
When he was young, his mother also tested and taught him his studies, but later on, she didn't care much about him because her grandfather said that her father had successfully studied literature and was by the side of the prince, so all he needed to do was to be an obedient heir to the Ningguo Mansion.
Any more is greed and will lead to death.
Now……
Jia Zhen felt that his mother was testing him again, "Because... because of the agreement we made with the Wang family?"
In order to reassure the person above, the Jia family had to withdraw from the army openly.
But they have secretly helped Wang Ziteng to emerge. In a few years, Wang Ziteng will be able to reach the same position as his grandfather.
He asked tentatively, "Is that why Second Aunt came here?!"
"Not hopelessly stupid."
Hearing her mother-in-law's sigh, Youshi regretted not leaving with her.
When it comes to family matters like this, the less you know, the safer you are.
Shen Ning ignored her and said softly, "Zhen'er, ask yourself if you were Wang Ziteng and had tasted the power that your grandfather had, would you be willing to give it back to your boss?"
Jia Zhen: “…”
He fell silent.
He wanted to say that their family also had a second aunt from Xifu.
And Wang Ziteng has no son.
Although his brother Wang Zisheng had a son, Wang Ren, he was spoiled, and even if Wang Ziteng wanted to help him, it was impossible.
And compared to Wang Ren, aren’t his sister’s sons Jia Zhu and Baoyu more worthy of investment?
Jia Zhen sighed as his mind raced, "Mother, are you and Second Aunt too sensitive?"
Women think a lot.
"Our family's guards can still be sent to the army."
"Palace guards?"
Shen Ning was almost laughing at his anger, "Can the palace guards be compared with the children of the Jia family?"
The palace guards could at most be promoted to the seventh rank with the help of the Jia family, and the rest depended on their own luck. However, as long as the children of the Jia family had the martial arts of the palace guards and the connections they had in the army, they would at least be the sixth rank with real power.
"Don't tell me you don't know the intricacies of this."
Jia Zhen: “…”
He knew, but the problem now was that the Jia family would not send their children to join the army! Oh! That second aunt was really something, didn't she know that his mother had been in a bad mood these days? Why did she have to come and bump into him? "Things in this world... accidents are everywhere."
Shen Ning sighed, "Just like back then, who could have known that Prince Yi Zhong would do something bad?"
this?
Jia Zhen frowned.
Shen Ning saw his expression and knew that it was impossible to persuade him for the time being. She couldn't help but rub her brows and said, "Forget it. I don't care about what's happening outside. I just want to ask you why you treat Lai Sheng's wife so lightly? In your heart, are your brother and sister and I not as good as Lai Sheng?"
"Mother!"
Jia Zhen was shocked.
How can this be compared? "You have wrongly accused your son of death."
He said anxiously, "He beat a servant, but hundreds or thousands of them are not worthy of being compared with our own family. My son is just loyal to the Lai family. Although Lai Sheng's family has some faults, for the sake of his ancestors, just drive him out."
Seeing that Shen Ning's face was not right, Jia Zhen hurriedly added, "If you think your son has done something wrong, I will have her tied up and brought here right away."
How big of a deal?
If it really doesn't work, he will secretly give some compensation to the Lai family.
Jia Zhen had a lot of private money, so he didn't really care. He shouted outside on the spot: "Come on..."
"Shut up!"
Shen Ning interrupted, "What are you coming for?"
"hey-hey!"
Feeling that his mother would not hit anyone, Jia Zhen smiled and said, "Mother, I know you won't really hit her. Don't worry, I will definitely talk to Lai Sheng and ask him to take good care of his wife."
"...You are kind and righteous."
"You taught my son."
Jia Zhen tried to please his mother, "Lai Sheng has been with my son since he was a child, and he has been beaten a lot by my father. You told me to treat Lai Sheng well. Now, his wife has made a mistake, I can't just ignore her and beat her to death with a stick."
At this point, he sighed, "The eldest branch of the Lai family is just like ours, with few offspring. It's a rare opportunity that this woman gave Lai Sheng three sons in a row. So, she spared her sons from being beaten because of the consideration for the sake of the Buddha."
"It seems that you did nothing wrong?"
Shen Ning's voice was cold and her eyes were also very cold.
This? Seeing his mother's face not relaxing at all, Jia Zhen looked at Youshi for help, but she lowered her head as if studying the pattern on his mother's clothes. He could only bite the bullet and said, "Mother, I still say the same thing. If you think I'm wrong, I'll have Lai Shengjia tied up right now."
You can fight.
But let Lai Sheng be punished like other family members who made mistakes, and let the whole family roll over to the village...
Jia Zhen really couldn't say it.
After all, he is a steward who has made great contributions and has the affection of his ancestors. How can he be compared to an ordinary servant? "There is no need to tie him up."
Shen Ning sighed in her heart, "Do you think the Lai family is loyal?"
Isn't it? Jia Zhen frowned slightly, "Mother, do you think the Lai family is disloyal?"
"The Lai family must have been very loyal in the past."
Shen Ning leaned back in her chair, "But that may not be the case now."
She looked at the big boy. "The Lai family has been in charge of the family for generations. Your great grandfather has members of the Lai family around him, your grandfather has members of the Lai family around him, and your father and you are the same. The Lai family has been with you since you were young. They can be said to be your right-hand men. But, does Rong Ge'er have members of the Lai family around him?"
Jia Zhen: “…”
He couldn't utter a word to refute for a moment.
But when the Lai family asked for mercy, he also told his mother.
"In the past, the Lai family didn't have many children, but they still stayed with the master. Now they have three older sons, but none of them are willing to follow Rong'er. Is Rong'er not worthy?"
This is an attempt to vent your anger!
Jia Zhen sighed inwardly and seriously suspected that his mother wanted to beat him but couldn't bear to do so, so she punished the people around him.
"Mother!" He could only coax her, "Who doesn't want their children to be well? How many generations have the Lai family been in the Jia family? Now that he wants to ask for mercy, then give it to him. Rong Ge'er has people around him."
