Chapter 113 Life is for those who can't stand it

After Ningguo Mansion's Jia Zhen passed away, Jia Rong was promoted to the fifth rank Dragon Guard, a nominal position, but he spent his days idling around.

Qin Keqing advised him several times, but it didn't make much difference, so she stopped advising him.

As for Youshi, she fell ill at some point and could not find a home to recuperate.

That day, Qin Keqing received a letter from Tanchun about Xichun's illness.

He also received the news that Mrs. Wang had sent Xichun and Tanchun away without saying goodbye. After pondering for a moment, he wrote a reply personally.

The next day, Qin Keqing sent someone to pick up Xichun and settle her in the manor where she stayed.

Mrs. Wang heard about this but did not ask any questions. Since the child was not a member of her family, she could keep him if they wanted to.

Besides, Qin Keqing's brother Qin Zhong seduced her Baoyu last time, and she has not yet settled the score with him.

Now she is too lazy to bother with these people.

When her Baoyu becomes an official, she will not be willing to curry favor with them.

What's more, now that Xichun is gone, it will be more convenient for her, right?

But before she could move, Xichun took a step forward and Tieji Temple caught fire, burning half of the temple.

Fortunately, it was dinner time and all the monks were eating in the hall, so no one was injured when they ran away.

"Is the daughter of the Jia family all right?" a monk remembered and asked.

The crowd was busy putting out the fire, so how could they remember this?

With dark faces, you looked at me and I looked at you.

A young monk patted his bright forehead and said, "Something bad has happened! The daughter of the Jia family is sick. She said she couldn't eat after taking medicine and went to bed early!"

"Go and save them!"

…

"What did you say? There was a fire in the temple?" Mrs. Wang's voice was filled with a hint of excitement.

"How is the person?"

"I don't know yet. Madam, go and take a look."

"Tanchun, my poor Tanchun!"

Mrs. Wang couldn't suppress her smile and rushed to Tieji Temple overnight.

Of course no one was saved.

"Tanchun! Tanchun! Mother is here! My poor child!"

"Mother is sorry for you, rest in peace!"

The smile that couldn't be hidden under the handkerchief.

It's really unlucky that she will take the temple house with her after her death, and she has to spend money to repair it.

She is so stingy with her money!

When she thought of the silver, Mrs. Wang cried more sincerely.

Before Mrs. Wang could finish her laugh, rumors started outside.

"Have you heard? Yo..."

"What did you hear?"

"It was the wife of the Jia family who hired a murderer to start a fire and burn her sick concubine's daughter to death!"

“Is this true or false?”

"Of course it's true. I also heard that the concubine's daughter's disease was caused by this Mrs. Jia. She made a little girl kneel in the yard in the cold and tortured her to death."

"How heartless!"

"Who said it wasn't true? Didn't you hear that a while ago, a man who was older than her was found for this concubine? Tsk tsk... How heartless!"

The rumor became more and more true as it spread, and everyone told it as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

These were some sentences that His Majesty had heard in the palace. He mentioned them deliberately during his free time. People below didn't know whether they were true or not. His Majesty thought it was funny. As the saying goes, flies don't bite flawless eggs. If it was true, he would never let such a cruel and ruthless woman go.

If it is false, you can't make up rumors.

So he ordered an investigation into the truth of the matter.

When Yuanchun heard this in the palace, she trembled and went to the emperor to apologize. The emperor, considering that she was pregnant and had been respectful and considerate in the past, comforted her and sent her back to her palace to rest and recuperate.

Mrs. Wang looked at the soldiers who broke into the Jia family's house with a bewildered look on her face. She only came to her senses after they took away several maids and servants.

"You...you can't!"

"Madam, help us, we didn't do anything, you are wronged, and I am wronged!"

…

Mrs. Wang's ears were buzzing. She listened to the servants' howling and the officers' scolding. She said in a stern voice, "You must cooperate with the investigation of the official. You must not admit to anything you didn't do!"

"If you really do something unclean, I will treat your family well because I miss you and your hard work in the Jia family!"

The captured servants and old women trembled, and none of them dared to howl.

However, the leader of the team, Commander Zhang, said disdainfully, "Why, is this a threat?"

"Why are you in such a hurry if it's not your fault? It's just a routine inquiry. If we take them away today, we will naturally take their families with us as well!"

"You think you've taken the blame for someone else, or you've covered up something, but who knows, they might just kill your whole family. Some people, don't try to be smart!"

"Behave yourself! Otherwise, the whip in my body will not be easy to deal with!"

As he spoke, he whipped the whip at his waist and it snapped in the air.

Mrs. Wang was so frightened that she staggered and almost fell down. She pretended to be calm and said, "I didn't do it, and I didn't do it. Those who are innocent will be cleared!"

"Don't be scared, sir. I didn't do it, and I will never admit it even if I die!"

Tanchun's affairs had nothing to do with her. Besides, as a mother, it was her responsibility to arrange the marriages of her children. No matter what kind of man she wanted to marry, even the emperor could not punish her!

"I will certainly investigate. I hope Mrs. Jia will do justice to her deceased husband."

…

On the second day, Shen Ajiao stared blankly at Tanchun, who was kneeling below with a dark face, and was speechless...

"What do you want?"

Tanchun said flatteringly, "I thought about it when I got home, and this method is much better than yours." She wanted to see the outside world.

[This little girl is really scary...]

Tanchun? How could she be so scary?

Lin Daiyu: Madam is right, they are too scary.

"Besides, didn't Mrs. Lin say she would give me a shop last time? I was thinking how could I help Mrs. Lin if I didn't get away."

"If I don't help Mrs. Lin, how can Mrs. Lin expand her wealth and squander it in this rich and glamorous capital?"

"As long as Mrs. Lin provides me with food, I don't want anything else."

If Mr. Lin had passed away, wouldn't Mrs. Lin still be so wealthy?

(Lin Ruhai: Thank you. You are so kind and considerate of my wife.)

A'Jiao Shen frowned. Is this guy going to be exploited?

Is this the first time she's seen this?

This is really the farmers calling her brother when they see her, and the local rich man wants her to go to bed overnight.

"Haha, that's not good. It's not acceptable to have only one bite to eat."

Tanchun's eyes lit up, and she was about to say that it would be ok to give more monthly allowance, but the next second, she heard the landlord... No, said Mrs. Lin.

"Girls still need clothes to cover their bodies. How about this, I'll give you some more cloth every month so you can make clothes."

Tanchun...well, she asked for too much.

Lin Daiyu: Tanchun met Yang Bailao.

"Madam, I also have a shop, and I also want to..."

"No, you don't want to. You have a special shopkeeper. Just enjoy your life."

She is an example. She worked for so long in vain, and then she traveled back to the time before liberation.

Whoever wants to do it can do it!

Life does not belong to a certain person, it belongs to the one who cannot see.

Do you think that suffering for a while will make it better? No, if you suffer enough, you will get used to it, and getting used to it means suffering for a lifetime.
