◎ Obedient! You believe me, I'm just pretending...◎
Jia Jing is obviously not afraid, he even thinks that what he did is right.
This actually shows that the old man has lived a good life for so many years, so that at such an old age, he is still so naive. In
addition, it is also because Xue Pan has performed well during this period, so he has no chance to see the true face of this kid.
According to the intelligence of System 006, Xue Pan entered Jia Jing's courtyard and began to practice with him. He did look a lot more obedient.
However, as the saying goes, "It is easy to change the country but difficult to change one's nature." Facts have proved that the temporary obedience of this fool Xue is just a pretense.
Xue Pan is already twelve or thirteen years old, and he is already old enough to understand the world.
People in ancient times matured early, and Aunt Xue had raised him as her own son, and spoiled him blindly, which made him a generous person.
He had no interest in reading or learning characters. He was good at
attracting cats and dogs, bullying men and women.
It can be said that Xue Pan was raised to be a standard playboy because his father died early, his mother was weak and docile, and he was the only child in the family.
Originally, he could at worst become like Jia She and Jia Zhen, and if he was lucky, he could become the second Jia Lian.
Unfortunately, he didn't have this opportunity.
Because Aunt Xue's unreserved love as his mother disappeared instantly after she knew that he was not her biological son.
It was just like being cut by an invisible knife, it disappeared cleanly in an instant, without any drag.
Although it was considered to be neat and tidy, it was still a bit hurtful.
Especially for a boy like Xue Pan who had been living in excessive love, it was like a destruction of the world.
As the saying goes, "either explode in silence or perish in silence", after being hit like this, Xue Pan turned evil... He did not become a playboy like Jia She and Jia Zhen, nor did he become a playboy like Jia Lian who also did some serious work.
He turned into a tyrannical man full of resentment who only wanted to destroy the world... If we must make a comparison, it would be like Yinreng who was deposed as the crown prince for the first time, right?
He felt betrayed by the whole world, nothing went his way, so he wanted to stir up some trouble.
Yes, since Xue Pan's heart was already so broken, Jia Jing's confident "unfilial son transformation plan" was a complete failure.
Originally, Jia Jing volunteered to take over Xue Pan's hot potato because he thought that he had practiced in Xuanzhen Temple for so many years, and he had some skills. It would be a simple matter to save a few lost sheep.
He really thought he could help Xue Pan.
Although Xue Pan's background is unknown, Ali is from the Ningguo Mansion after all, so it is only right that he should be handed over to the most noble person in the Ningguo Mansion.
In addition, Xue Pan had not gained too much weight at that time, and looked like a chubby little boy - eleven or twelve years old, even if he was not good-looking, he was not too ugly.
In this way, the two of them were willing to fight and suffer, and happily became the newly-born adoptive father and son.
The time they spent together at the beginning was not unharmonious and warm.
After all, both parties were not familiar with each other, and both had the unique filters of strangers.
Jia Jing was eager to make up for his fatherly duties - he had realized that his shortcomings in educating Jia Zhen had ruined his son.
But now that things had come to this, it was useless to think about it.
It was just that the regret in his heart would never go away, and he couldn't let it go for a long time.
Just by chance, God gave him an opportunity to be a father again - Emma, this is such a good thing, it must be cherished.
Jia Jing excitedly began to be a father for others - no matter what his ability was, his heart was still very sincere.
Besides, Xue Pan was also very grateful to Jia Jing and really wanted to recognize him as his father.
This kid lost his father when he was young - probably when he was three or four years old, his father passed away. It was his widowed mother Aunt Xue who raised him and his younger sister Xue Baochai, who was born not long ago.
At that time, they also suffered a lot.
Merchants value profit, and the imperial merchant family is no exception.
After the death of Mr. Xue of the Xue family, things quickly went downhill. Seeing the decline of the Xue family, the servants and shopkeepers in the family also began to take advantage of the situation, donating money and absconding, or simply falsifying accounts to plunder the Xue family's property.
In this way, the Xue family's property evaporated quickly like snow water in the sun.
Coincidentally, this also truly verified the Xue family's amulet of "good years and heavy snow"... Sometimes, you really have to believe that there is a will of heaven in the dark.
Xue Pan grew up in such an environment, so you can imagine how much he longed for fatherly love in his heart.
Some people have analyzed that the reason why he was so useless was that his father's role was absent too early in his growth.
If his mother could stand up and play both the role of father and mother, it would be fine.
But his mother was the famous Aunt Xue who was known for her "kindness" and "soft ears".
This was completely over.
Not to mention strict discipline, there was no normal scolding or scolding.
With this, it would be strange if Xue Pan could become successful.
Sure enough, in the original novel, Xue Pan's behavior became more and more bizarre because no one was controlling him. He finally had a fight with Feng Yuan for the kidnapped Zhen Yinglian, and allowed his servants to attack Feng Yuan, who was seriously injured.
It is said that Feng Yuan was carried home and died within three days.
The key is that even though there was a murder case, Xue Pan could still say that he would send his sister Xue Baochai to Beijing to participate in the election. This kind of mentality is unmatched.
Xue Pan in the original novel was already like this. Now the Xue Pan here, oh, no, it should be Jia Pan, is even more terrifying.
I saw him standing on the path next to the Lin family mansion, with a frown on his face, and no one knew what he was doing.
He was surrounded by several characters who looked like street thugs, all of whom were injured to varying degrees. The situation looked very strange.
So why did the father and son, one who was eager to be a father and the other who really wanted to be a son, end up like this? Mo Yu said he was confused. He
didn't know if System 006 knew about it, he could ask it later.
However, before Mo Yu could summon the system, Lin Ruhai had already started to act.
Lin Ruhai usually hated people who gathered to fight, and since he had a bad impression of Xue Pan before, he had no intention of intervening.
Since he had said not to worry about it, the drivers of the two carriages must have listened to him and prepared to continue walking towards the gate of the Lin family's house.
Unexpectedly, after walking just a few steps, the situation changed suddenly.
The thugs surrounding Xue Pan took out a lot of personal belongings from their bodies for some reason, and then rushed towards Xue Pan.
Xue Pan was not a pushover either. He immediately picked up a mace and ordered his men to confiscate personal belongings and prepare for a fight.
As soon as Lin Ruhai and Mo Yu's car passed by, the group of people started fighting.
So the carriage of Feng and Zhen Yinglian, who were walking behind, suffered directly and was soon overwhelmed by the two groups of people fighting.
Lin Ruhai and Mo Yu were shocked and quickly ordered their men to turn around and check, but where could they find anyone?
These people appeared out of nowhere. There were only a few of them. When they gathered around, they were like locusts, so numerous that they could not be counted.
If they started fighting and knocked over the carriage, would the mother and daughter still be alive? They
would definitely be injured at best and killed at worst.
Thinking of this terrible result, Lin Ruhai became anxious and wanted to jump out of the car to rescue them. Mo Yu was also very anxious, but he also knew that if Lin Ruhai went now, he would most likely die.
After all, ordinary people could not intervene in such a fight. If they went there rashly, they would probably be attacked from both sides, and some people would be trampled to death if they fell. If
Lin Ruhai went now, he would be courting death.
It must not be enough.
Mo Yu then desperately pulled Lin Ruhai's sleeve to stop him from going over. But
Lin Ruhai was very persistent.
Because he brought Feng and Zhen Yinglian from the Lin family in Gusu, not to mention because of his wife Jia Min's request, even if they were strangers who had nothing to do with him, he would never stand idly by.
He is just such a person. He
has suffered a lot because of this.
If Mo Yu had not become his son by mistake, he would probably be terminally ill and counting the days to death.
After all, at this point in the original novel, Lin Moyu and Jia Min had both passed away, and little Daiyu had been taken to Rongguo Mansion in the capital by Jia's mother and lived a life of dependence.
Would Lin Ruhai not know about this situation?
He was forced to do nothing but endure it. If
he didn't endure it, his only daughter would follow in the footsteps of his wife and son and become a corpse below.
Who can he go to for justice in this matter ?
He can only climb to a higher position.
Unfortunately, his body is also not good...
I don't know what Lin Ruhai in the original novel was thinking about when he was dying. It is estimated that apart from some iconic memories of his life, what he thought about most was probably his precious daughter, Xiao Daiyu.
The whole family died, and only his daughter Daiyu was left. What should she do?
Can she eat enough?
Can she wear warm clothes?
Will anyone bully her?
...
Unfortunately, no matter how reluctant he was, he could only die with regret.
From then on, Xiao Daiyu's living environment became more and more difficult.
This is not a question of money.
The Lin family is rich.
Not to mention how much wealth the five generations of marquis have accumulated - the collections in any of the Lin family's villas in the capital can make the famous bronze and stone enthusiasts, the fourth master, stare blankly.
The wealth of the Lin family is evident.
But when Jia Lian accompanied Xiao Daiyu back to Yangzhou to attend the funeral of Lin Ruhai who died in office, he went with a mission.
According to the information about the original plot provided by System 006, this time Jia Lian went to Yangzhou for the property of the Yangzhou Lin family.
Otherwise, a cousin brother and a cousin sister should avoid suspicion. Although the cousin brother is married, the cousin sister is still unmarried.
What do you mean the cousin sister is still young?
Please, at her age, many families have already started to propose marriage to her.
Although there are still some now, but those are all jokes and can't be taken seriously.
Not to mention Lin Ruhai, even Mo Yu would be the first one who would not agree.
Jia Lian went to Yangzhou just for the Lin family's property.
And he seemed to be very satisfied with the result.
After all, the Jia family held on for several more years before it collapsed, so it was not a wasted trip.
But even if they brought all the Lin family's property back to the Jia family, it couldn't fill the growing holes in their family.
It's like a big ship that is already riddled with holes. Even if a few men are barely able to patch it up, it's useless.
After all, the whole ship is about to sink, so what's the use of men? I had to
accompany Bai Bai to the Lin family. I really don’t know why the original novel made it this way - did they think the tragedy would be more eternal?
Mo Yu said he didn’t understand, he just felt sorry for his sister.
Oh, now he still feels sorry for his cheap dad.
Seeing that Lin Ruhai was about to shake him off and get off the car to check in a hurry, Mo Yu became more and more anxious, and even wanted to call the drivers to come in and hold Lin Ruhai down.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a sudden loud bang outside, and Feng and Zhen Yinglian’s carriage turned over again.
[Author’s words]
Ahhhh, I accidentally drove too far tonight and turned over. Cover your face and crawl away!
