Chapter 386 My wife is Wang Xifeng!
Jia Lian got into a fight!
He got into a fight with Jia Zhen from the Ningguo Mansion.
Jia Lian smashed a lot of things in Ningguo Mansion, and it is said that Jia Zhen had one of his ribs broken.
In the end, the matter even reached the Jingzhao Prefecture.
When Wang Xifeng received the news and appeared at the Jingzhao Prefecture with Yuan Hongqu, she saw Jia Lian with a bruised and swollen face, yet still excitedly telling the Jingzhao Magistrate about the fight.
Upon seeing Wang Xifeng enter, he was about to feign pitifulness to gain her sympathy, but when his gaze fell upon her prominent belly, he quickly straightened his back, dropped his nonchalant expression, and said seriously,
"Feng'er, what are you doing out here? Go back and rest. I just came to say a few words. I'll come find you when I'm better."
"Is that really so?" Wang Xifeng sneered: What kind of time is this to still be like this? Do you think the Jingzhao Prefecture is your own private home, where you can come and go as you please?
Upon hearing these four words, Jia Lian suddenly felt the pain in his face and body intensify.
His wife is never one to play by the rules!
"Sir, since it's a fight, it must be because he's bored! And lately, there's nothing for him to do at my house, so why don't we let him stay here for a few days to clear his head, and then let him go back after he's thought things through!"
Wang Xifeng gave Jia Lian a deep look, then flicked her sleeve and prepared to leave.
"Feng'er, take me back with you!" Jia Lian's matter wasn't considered serious, and they were all people of status and position; at most, they would only receive a few words of reprimand.
Wang Xifeng ignored him.
She was worried something had happened to him, so she went to find Sister Yuan to help rescue Jia Lian. But while she was outside, she was frantic with worry, while Jia Lian was here chatting and joking with others.
What a waste of her efforts!
“Second Madam Lian, Master Zhen from Ningguo Mansion said it’s all a misunderstanding. He and Second Master Lian are from the same family. They just went a little too far in their play today, which is why things got so ugly. However, he doesn’t mind that Second Master Lian broke his ribs and smashed up his house…” The official who had just spoken to Jia Lian explained to Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng took a deep look at Jia Lian and suddenly found his bruised and swollen face quite endearing.
Yuan Hongqu had already completed the formalities for Jia Lian. When she came out, she saw that Wang Xifeng was still ignoring Jia Lian, so she did not try to comfort the two of them.
This couple has really taken a lot of effort out of her over the years.
"Sister Yuan, all the formalities are done. Can we leave now?"
"Let's go back. I'm going to the academy, and it's not on your way. You two take the carriage in the back." Yuan Hongqu didn't want to be subjected to any more PDA from the couple.
Jia Lian was reporting to Wang Xifeng about what had happened since he returned to the Rongguo Mansion.
Listening to the two of them chattering away, it's likely they didn't hear what Yuan Hongqu said at all. So Yuan Hongqu quietly left, leaving only the couple still talking.
"Hmph, only a broken rib? He locked me up for several days, I thought you would at least break both of his legs."
"Next time I'll definitely break a few more." Jia Lian rubbed his hands together, as if he wanted to go and do it with Jia Zhen again right now!
Wang Xifeng nodded with a smile.
"Feng'er, let's go home first!" Jia Lian said pitifully, his eyes like those of a lost puppy, full of confusion and dependence.
Wang Xifeng was immediately disarmed and nodded subconsciously.
If they weren't in a carriage, Jia Lian would have jumped for joy on the spot.
As soon as Yuan Hongqu left the couple, she felt the air was fresher.
The news that someone had sent to the Rongguo Mansion to inquire about arrived just in time; the couple had reconciled. Whether she knew this news or not didn't matter; she might as well just listen to it as gossip. It was so far from here to the academy that she was too lazy to read.
Those who relay messages naturally want to know as much as possible.
He knows some secrets that no one else knows, and that's how he becomes incredibly wealthy!
Only after the messenger vividly recounted the whole story did Yuan Hongqu finally understand.
It turned out that after Jia Lian returned home, he had been living alone in his empty room ever since.
On this day, Jia Zhen came to invite him to their house for a drink.
Jia Lian initially wanted to decline, but then he remembered that Wang Xifeng had a stress response whenever she heard the word "ancestral hall," which suggested that she must have been very upset when they had locked her up there before...
After considering it for a moment, Jia Lian agreed.
When he arrived at the place, he found that he was not the only one who had come to drink.
There were two women among them, one who looked alluring and the other gentle and tender.
Upon seeing this scene, Jia Lian turned and left.
"Why are you leaving before we've even sat down? We brothers haven't had a drink in a long time, so let's drink until we're completely drunk!" Jia Zhen picked up the small wine pot and poured wine into his mouth.
Jia Lian ignored him and continued walking outside.
"Hurry up and serve Master Lian! If you serve Master Lian well today, your riches and honors will follow!"
Jia Zhen glared at the two women, and the boldly dressed woman glared back at him.
"Old Deng, we agreed when we came that drinking was fine, but no men! Could it be that someone so vigorous isn't a man?"
The woman then moved closer, saying, "Since you're here, brother, why don't you have a drink? Let me fill your glass."
Jia Lian pushed the woman away.
"What do you want? I'm married! My wife is Wang Xifeng!"
"What! It's Second Madam Lian?" Upon hearing this, the woman hurriedly dropped the wine pot in her hand, covered her face, and left.
Jia Lian couldn't help but feel strange, and looked at the other woman.
The woman's face wasn't particularly attractive either, but she still bowed to Jia Lian.
"Second Madam Lian is a leading figure among women in the capital. We admire Second Madam Lian the most, so we left in shame when we learned that you are Second Master Lian."
After the woman finished speaking, she turned and left.
Jia Zhen's face turned pale, and then even paler. This was a dancer he had hired from the music academy at a high price.
He paid me before I even did anything!
Once the two dancers left, Jia Lian relaxed.
However, Jia Zhen's face was almost as black as ink.
Jia Lian ignored him and left on his own, but Jia Zhen, in a moment of folly, went to stop him.
Taking advantage of this, Jia Lian caused a huge scene at Ningguo Mansion and even got into a fight with Jia Zhen.
This matter escalated all the way to the Jingzhao Prefecture, and finally reached the Emperor's desk...
A few days later, Jia Lian unilaterally announced that they would never have anything to do with the Ningguo Mansion again and would sever all ties from now on!
The story spread throughout the capital for days and nights, and eventually it gained traction.
Jia Lian was overjoyed!
"Feng'er, we will never be troubled by them again. Let's live a peaceful and happy life together."
Wang Xifeng nodded, "Fortunately, this time the eldest master and the second master supported us and didn't suppress the matter for the sake of face... As long as our household doesn't do anything reckless, my husband and I can rest easy from now on."
