The head of the Red Mansion

Chapter 62 Has Experience

At the Rongguo Mansion, Madam Wang was surprised to hear such unexpected joy.

Arrogance truly brings trouble!
"Amitabha!" Madam Wang chanted a Buddhist prayer, her face full of compassion. "Jia Yan and Jia Kui are also pitiful. Feng'er, send them some more nourishing medicinal herbs later."

"Yes!"

Wang Xifeng agreed, but her heart was not with Jia Yan and Jia Kui. Instead, she was worried about what would happen to her aunt's two midwives who had both run into trouble.
A hint of worry crept into her eyes.

The same applies to Grandmother Jia.

Although Shen caused a lot of trouble during this period, overall she was still a qualified matriarch.

If something goes wrong, Jia Jing, who has already become a monk, will probably never set foot in the secular world again.

“Feng girl, you should also send someone to the countryside to find a reliable midwife.”

With Ning and Rong united, the most crucial issue now is finding a reliable midwife so that Shen can give birth with peace of mind.

At this moment, she couldn't afford to be startled in the slightest.

Grandmother Jia glanced at her second daughter-in-law. "If the Chen family touches two midwives, they're touching our Jia family. Isn't Chen Chong also from the Ministry of Works? Where's Zheng'er? Didn't he come back? Ask him who Chen Chong really is. Who does he usually associate with? Is he targeting him specifically at the Ministry of Works?"

At this time, the old lady had no idea that her second son, who was so foolish, had once sided with the Chen family.

The servant who delivered the message simply dared not reveal the master's foolish act.

Jia Zheng was too ashamed to come to his mother's side. He paced back and forth in the outer study, just as he had at the Wang family's house. The problem was there, but he couldn't think of any solution.

He was too ashamed to even tell his guests about it, and could only passively wait for things to develop.

"master!"

The servant knocked on the door from the outside, "Master Chen Chong requests an audience."

what?
Jia Zheng was so surprised that he almost tripped and fell, but he didn't care and rushed to open the door, "Where are you?"

"They're outside the mansion!"

The servant lowered his head and said, "Even the gatekeepers have the master's men on their side. The master will probably find out soon."

Jia Zheng: "..."

Yes, his brother is home too.

It would be better for his brother to handle this than for him to.

No, no, no, no...

Just as Jia Zheng was about to push Chen Chong to his brother, he suddenly remembered something, and his expression changed several times.

His brother is a scoundrel who has already decided that the Chen family is going to deal with the Jia family, so how can he speak calmly?

If things go wrong, he might just grab his fists and beat up Chen Chong himself.

If that were the case, how could he possibly maintain his position in the Ministry of Works?
Chen Chong is looking for him...

Jia Zheng suspected that he wanted Jia Zheng's help to ease the conflict between the two families.

How to do?
Jia Zheng couldn't help but turn around again.

In short, my sister-in-law hasn't given birth yet.

There are plenty of midwives in the capital.

Jia Zheng paused slightly, then said, "Please!"

He's close to the main gate, so the servant who went to deliver the message to his elder brother probably hasn't even arrived at the east wing yet.

Anyway, with his mother in the mansion, Jia Zheng wasn't afraid of his brother causing any trouble.

Chen Chong arrived quickly; he was genuinely afraid that Jia Zheng would ignore him.

"Lord Jia!" Upon seeing Jia Zheng, he immediately bowed, looking anxious and ashamed. "I was unaware of today's events. Wang Shi..." He paused when he mentioned his wife, "I am ashamed that I have failed to properly educate my wife. However, my family did not intend to target the midwife hired by Madam Shen."

Chen Chong arrived right after leaving Shuntian Prefecture. Although there was no evidence to prove that he was involved in today's events, the people in the Censorate were like mad dogs, always trying to bite people. With such a big commotion at his home, it goes without saying that someone must have already written a memorial impeaching him.

Thinking of this, he simply knelt down. "I have been busy with departmental affairs for many years and have inevitably neglected the upbringing of my family, which has led to this disaster. But even a great man is not immune to having an unvirtuous wife and unfilial children. I beg you, sir, to consider our past relationship and speak a few words of justice for me..."

"Pooh!"

A man rushed past from the side, raising his foot to kick, but Jia Zheng reacted quickly and grabbed him, "Brother..."

"I'm not your big brother!"

Jia She was furious. If he hadn't been worried about this fool being used again and hadn't been guarding the corner room at the back, he would have sold the whole family. "Who is he? Who are you? You believed a few words from someone? Where do you put your uncle who protected you back then? Where do you put your brother Jing who has always taken care of you?"

What has your sister-in-law ever done to wrong you?

She and Brother Jing had only two regrets in their lives. Let's not talk about the other one, but this one… how could you bear to just watch others bully them?

Brother Jing was full of ambition, but he didn't even inherit an official position. Now he only has one wish: to have a second child...

Although Brother Jing, who has seen through the ways of the world, doesn't care much about this wish, his wife does!

Jia She was furious at this traitor. "Guards, throw this Lord Chen out of the Jia family!"

A group of powerful slaves rushed out quickly.

Some dragged, some pulled, and others followed behind with large brooms, constantly sweeping and kicking up dust.

"Lord Jia, Lord Jia..."

Chen Chong was in a terrible state and wanted to ask Jia Zheng for help.

Although Jia Zheng looked extremely anxious, he did not say anything to stop him.

This this……

This is wrong!

Isn't it said that Jia Zheng is the actual head of the Rongguo Mansion?
Chen Chong was dragged and swept along the way, and thrown out of the side gate of the Jia family.

The commotion was quite loud, but those who were still waiting to see what would happen were thoroughly entertained.

Inside, Jia She coldly looked at his younger brother, "They're about to kill us at our house, and you're still handing them a knife? Second brother, why don't you talk to the old lady and see what she says?"

"...What did I say? What did I do?"

Jia Zheng flicked his sleeves and said, "From the moment Chen Chong entered the manor until you spat on him in the end, did I say a single word? When you threw him out, did I ever try to stop you?"

He did nothing.

Jia Zheng was unaware that in front of his elder brother, he was more effective in both physical reactions and verbal and intellectual matters than in front of others. "I only met with him to find out who was behind it all."

Jia She: "..."

So he worried for nothing?
“With Brother Jing away, I’m just as worried about Sister-in-law as you are. But she hasn’t given birth yet, has she? The capital is so big, the person behind it can’t possibly have bribed all the midwives.”

Who can bribe hundreds of midwives?
With so many mouths to feed, no one would be foolish enough to take such a big risk.

Jia Zheng said, "Even if things don't go well, there's still Wang Shi and the others. Baoyu, Tanchun, and Huan'er haven't been born for many years, and my sister-in-law has also given birth. They can go and keep her company and take care of her."

His children were all born in simple circumstances.

Jia Zheng never accompanied him.

Whenever he heard that the baby was about to be born, he would take a nap or read a book, and the baby would be born safely.

Many of the older women in the mansion gave birth in this way.

As the Jia family member with the most children, Jia Zheng felt that his eldest brother and his elder brother Jing were in greater difficulty because they valued their children too much.

"Don't worry, I have more experience with this than you do."
