The Heavens Begin with Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 180 Asking for Wife in Person
Without waiting for Master Zhan to speak, Wang Ren was the first to be unhappy. He snorted with a gloomy face:
"joke!"

"Can you divorce me if you say so? Can you get back together if you say so?"

"Back then, you Jia family used that unfounded excuse to drive my sister back, and now you want her to go back and be bullied by you again. What good things are you thinking?"

Jia Lian smiled and said:

"I was indeed weak-willed at the time and shouldn't have listened to the slander. But the old lady was putting pressure on me, so what could a junior like me do?"

"Now that the old lady is gone, Feng'er is back and is still the young lady of the mansion. She will definitely not be bullied."

Wang Ren didn't care about this at all. He only wanted to give his sister to Master Zhan to enjoy. He slammed the table and said angrily:

"Don't give all your excuses to the old lady. My sister told me that you are the one who wants to divorce your wife the most!"

"When Master She was still alive, you had a chance to inherit the title, and you had Empress Yuan as your support. I'm afraid you were thinking of divorcing your wife and marrying someone else, right?"

"It's a pity that your brothers are at odds with each other, and Master Zheng and Empress Yuan are only concerned about your family's title and are unwilling to take care of you at all."

"At this time, you have been deserted by everyone and have nothing left, yet you think of my Wang family again."

"Why, do you want to borrow my family's influence to gain more say in the mansion?"

Jia Lian was scolded so harshly that he felt extremely embarrassed, but his mind suddenly became clear after being scolded.

Yup!

Now that Master She has passed away, his title is gone, so he has become a nobody in the mansion, and no one wants to talk to him. But if he had a daughter-in-law with a strong background, it would definitely be much better!
Moreover, with Feng Lazi's temper, he must want to seize power as the housekeeper. As long as he has some authority in the mansion, it is not clear how those masters and young ladies will behave, but at least those servants will not dare to neglect him openly.

The woman had already felt guilty for losing her virginity to a thief, and now there was the setback of no one wanting her after the divorce. Even if she came back, she would not be as aggressive as she was before, and would definitely be kinder to a husband like me who was willing to take her in again.

The more Jia Lian thought about it, the more he felt that he should get Wang Xifeng back so that the couple could renew their love.

So he started to play the favor card, smiling bitterly:
"Brother Wang underestimates me too much."

"My family's title can only be passed down for one generation, but its rank is ridiculously low, and I really don't take it seriously in my eyes."

"If you were interested, you would know that Miss Lin had seen me in her prophetic dream that day. In the future, I will be successful in martial arts, be rewarded for my meritorious service, and revive my family business!"

"I have been practicing hard these days and I feel that I have made great progress. Now the world is in turmoil and wars are raging everywhere. I think it will be easy for me to make meritorious deeds and become an official again in the future."

"The reason why I wanted to remarry was, on the one hand, because I regretted being too impulsive and making the wrong decision that day, and on the other hand, Qiaojie cried day and night at home, missing her mother, and wanted to be reunited with her family."

"Whether Feng'er agrees to remarry or not depends on her family's wishes. I cannot force her. Brother Wang, why don't you tell her the news for me and let her decide for herself."

"It is said that it is better to demolish a temple than to destroy a family relationship. Why does my brother Wang have to interfere?"

"You..." Wang Ren pointed at Jia Lian angrily, but he didn't know what to say anymore. He just snorted coldly, "Humph, you are like this, and you still want to be rewarded for your achievements? You'll have to wait for your next life!"

But his arrogance had diminished a lot. Lin Daiyu's precognitive dream was already quite well-known in the small circle. Even Wang Ren could not help but believe it when he heard it. He thought that Jia Lian might really be able to make great contributions and become an official in the future, so it would be a good idea to offend him too much.

Moreover, filial piety and brotherly love are the top political correctness these days, and no one dares to object. Jia Lian even brought out his daughter Qiaojie and put a big hat on the family reunion, which is really difficult to oppose with conventional reasons.

Seeing that Wang Ren's fire had been put out, Master Zhan laughed and said:

"Hahaha... We are all relatives, so don't hurt the harmony. Come on, let's drink."

He made a joke to get over the matter, and neither Jia nor Wang mentioned it again, but there was definitely more to come.

Even if Wang Ren did not help to pass the message, Jia Lian had a way to take the initiative to pass the message to Wang Xifeng's ears, and he could even go to her in person, and outsiders could not stop him.

After a few more drinks, Jia Lian began to make indirect comments, mentioning that he was not included in the imperial edict, and also mentioned Ping'er, with a complaining tone in his voice.

This guy just messed up Mr. Zhan's good thing, but he doesn't even realize it. He even dared to complain. He is truly a person with low emotional intelligence.

Master Zhan sneered:

"When Sister Feng divorced you, she asked Brother Wang to bring me news that Sister Lin had a prophetic dream in which she saw you make achievements and become an official, and then divorce Sister Feng and make Ping'er her wife. Is this true?"

Jia Lian's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He secretly complained to himself about how his wife would tell anyone anything. He could only laugh dryly:

"That's all in the past. I regret it now. Ping'er is now your concubine, Brother Zhanxian. She has nothing to do with me anymore. When Feng'er comes back, she will definitely be your legal wife forever. Something like this will never happen again."

Master Zhan waved his hand and said:
"That's your own business, I can't interfere, but Sister Feng specifically told me that the credit for Ping'er giving it to me should be attributed to her, but it can't be considered your achievement."

"What?" Jia Lian's eyes almost popped out when he heard this.

It turns out that you, this damn woman, are responsible for this!
No wonder everyone gets a share of the credit in this imperial edict, except me!

Jia Lian was filled with such hatred that he wanted to pull Wang Xifeng out and bite her to death. His eyes were spitting fire and he wanted to curse loudly, but he had just established the image of a prodigal son who wanted to remarry, and he couldn't let it fall apart like that. He had to grit his teeth, hold back his anger, and hold up the wine glass to cover his face.

This news was just an excuse made up by Master Zhan, but Wang Ren was happy to help him cover it up. Moreover, after being reminded by Master Zhan's words, he immediately remembered something and immediately laughed and made up a lie:
"My sister not only asked me to tell Brother Zhan about this matter, but also mentioned another matter to me."

"It is said that in Miss Lin's prophetic dream, in addition to seeing you get promoted and remarried, she also saw my sister enter the Zhan residence and become Brother Zhan's concubine. I wonder if Brother Jia knows about this?"

When Jia Lian heard this, his face immediately turned red.

In fact, Lin Daiyu's precognitive dream that day was never told to outsiders. The only one who knew the whole story was Wang Xifeng. Even Jia Lian did not know that Wang Xifeng would later become Mr. Zhan's concubine.

But the matter became more and more serious, and finally the two of them were about to divorce, so Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang approached all the relevant people to question them and get to the bottom of it.

Of course, Sister Lin didn't want to reveal those private matters, but since Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang asked her about it, she couldn't hide it and told the truth.

The level of confidentiality in the Jia Mansion is just like that of a sieve. If a secret is known by more than three people, it is equivalent to being known by everyone in the mansion.

Moreover, Mrs. Wang wanted to eliminate the impact of the divorce between the two families. Rather than keeping it secret, she condoned its spread. As time went by, even Jia Lian, the person involved, knew about these things.

It's just that Wang Xifeng had already left the house at that time, and it had nothing to do with him in the future, so he didn't care.

Who would have thought that Wang Ren would expose this in front of Master Zhan, and Jia Lian immediately felt embarrassed.

"These are just rumors. They are not credible. They are not credible..."

He kept grumbling in rebuttal while guzzling wine, looking extremely embarrassed.

Wang Ren refused to let him go, and just laughed and said mockingly:

"It's the same prophetic dream, but you believed it when it said you would be rewarded for your meritorious service, but you didn't believe it when it said Feng'er would become Brother Zhan's concubine. Do you have the final say on the future?"

Jia Lian blushed and stiffened his neck, shouting:

"Miss Lin's prophetic dream can also be changed. The Xue family was originally going to be executed, but now everything is fine, isn't it?"

"After Feng'er and I remarry, she will continue to be the young mistress of the Jia family, and the future will naturally change!"

"As for my achievements and rewards, as long as I persist in practicing martial arts, I will always find opportunities to make achievements when the imperial court puts down the rebellion in all directions. The future will certainly not change!"

Wang Ren snorted coldly, pointed his finger, and threatened:
"Even if you want to make a contribution, you have to join the army first. My uncle is a senior military official. If he doesn't agree, who would dare to hire you?"

"You..." Jia Lian was shocked and angry after hearing this. "The position of the governor of the Beijing camp was given to Wang Ziteng by my Jia family. If it weren't for my family's help, how could he have risen to his current position?"

Wang Ren curled his lips, clasped his fists towards the direction of the palace, and said proudly:

"What are you talking about? How can an official position in this country be given or taken privately? Everything is the emperor's grace. It is your majesty's wisdom in choosing people. What does it have to do with your Jia family?"

Hearing that Wang Ren was actually speaking to him in an official tone at this time, Jia Lian became furious. He slammed the table and was about to come up and fight.

Wang Ren was also a dandy young man who hung out on the streets. He had been involved in group fights countless times. He immediately punched Jia Lian in the head. Jia Lian did not defend himself, but he also punched him in the head.

Unexpectedly, Master Zhan standing by actually stretched out his hand to take sides, and pushed Jia Lian's arm down, saying:
"We are all brothers, don't fight!"

Wang Ren's fist was unobstructed and hit Jia Lian's nose, causing blood to flow immediately.

Wang Ren wanted to continue fighting, but Master Zhan stopped him and said angrily:

"Brother Wang, why are you so irritable? Look how you beat up Brother Lian!"

"Where's Yang Yougong? Are you blind? Hurry up and get some ice and gauze to bandage Master Lian!"

A moment later, Jia Lian had gauze stuffed in his nostrils, a piece of ice in his hand pressed against one side of his nasal cavity, and he sat in his seat snorting, glaring at Wang Ren.

Wang Ren won a great victory in this battle. He ignored his fiery gaze and toasted Master Zhan leisurely, saying:
"This prophetic dream is a revelation from heaven about the future. How can it be changed at random? My sister didn't understand this principle and messed around with it. As a result, she was sent back."

"After this incident, my sister has learned her lesson and decided to follow the instructions of the prophetic dream and not dare to disobey at all."

"Now that things have come to this, I have the audacity to say that my sister's plan to find a job as a manager for a household full of women is just empty talk."

"My foolish brother's meaning is very clear, that is, to obey the will of heaven and allow my sister to enter the Zhan Mansion as a concubine to avoid possible disasters in the future."

After hearing this, Mr. Zhan was also moved and raised his glass, clinked it with his, and praised:

"Brother Wang, I have sensed your concern for my sister's safety. I am deeply moved by your brotherly love and am willing to fulfill your friendship."

"My Lord, you have always known that I am a simple and honest person. Since my Lord has such a kind intention, I will not refuse it."

After hearing this, Wang Ren burst into laughter and drank with Master Zhan.

Jia Lian, who was standing nearby, became furious when he heard this. He threw the ice cube to the ground, jumped up and shouted:

"Brother, what do you mean?"

"I have just said that I will remarry Feng'er. She will still be the second wife of the Jia family, but she will not be your concubine!"

Mr. Zhan stopped drinking, put the glass on the table, glanced at the ignorant guy with his eyes slanted, and sighed with regret:
"Alas, Master Lian, why haven't you made any progress at all?"

"Don't you understand it now?"

"My brother and I have long had a tacit understanding and are willing to deepen the relationship between our two families, and Feng'er is the link between them."

"Everything was going well, but you had to interfere and say something stupid like remarriage."

"With your inability to see the situation clearly, you still want to be rewarded for your meritorious service?"

"Stop dreaming!"

"Even if you really become an official, you will die in the court sooner or later."

"Let me tell you this!"

"I have long had a crush on Second Lady Lian. She is such a beautiful lady, but she ended up marrying a loser like you. What a pity!"

"I, the master, have always been a man who cherishes women and I couldn't bear to see her suffer like this, so after you two divorced, I wanted to take her as my concubine."

"It was just that due to some things in the industry at that time, Uncle Wang Ziteng had doubts, so it was delayed until now. Otherwise, Feng'er would have become my favorite concubine long ago."

"I don't care whether you really want to remarry or have other ideas. It doesn't matter!"

"I'll tell you plainly!"

"Master, I don't care what you mean. Anyway, I'm determined to marry Master Wang Xifeng!"

Before, Master Zhan had always been very polite to the people in the Jia family, mainly because Lady Jia was still alive and could go directly to the palace to file a complaint. Even Jia She and Jia Zheng still had many connections available, so being too forceful would only backfire and affect his plan to usurp the throne.

But now Lady Jia is dead, Jia She was convicted and then died, Jia Zheng had a stroke and is bedridden, and the remaining young generation of the Jia family has no talents, and their original network of contacts cannot be utilized at all.

In that case, then why bother? Why not just swallow up these two prefectures!
The reason why he did not take immediate action after Lady Jia's death was because he still had connections with Yuanchun and Lady Wang.

All the current ladies, grandmothers, and young ladies in the Jia family have been basically slaughtered by him. Except for Wang Xifeng and her daughter, it seems that there is no one else worthy of his attention, and he no longer needs to maintain the image of a kind gentleman.

Back then, he was a gentleman from Liangshan!

He now made everything clear in front of Jia Lian and asked him directly for Wang Xifeng. I don't think he would dare to refuse!
After hearing what Master Zhan said, Jia Lian felt as if struck by lightning. His body swayed and he felt his vision go dark. When he looked at Master Zhan again, he was no longer a kind gentleman, but a dark devil. Wang Ren, who was standing next to him, just lowered his head and carefully studied the wine glass in his hand, as if it was a rare treasure, and ignored Master Zhan's words. "You, you..."

Jia Lian took a few deep breaths, his lips trembling. At this moment, he no longer remembered the utilitarian thoughts he had when he wanted to remarry. He only felt that his self-esteem had suffered a crushing blow. He was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to pounce on the two of them and fight them.

But as soon as he moved, he saw the cold and ruthless gaze from Master Zhan, just like being poured with ice water on his head in the coldest days of winter, which instantly calmed him down.

After all, Master Zhan was the one who had led his brothers to common prosperity for several years. Even if he didn't specifically target him, the murderous aura he exuded was enough to scare this second-generation rich man.

"...Um...how about you, Master Zhan, please change someone?"

"I, I have a concubine named Qiu Tong, who is also very beautiful. I will give her to Master Zhan. How about you let Feng Er go?"

“Haha…” Master Zhan glanced at the wimp with disdain and sneered, “You should keep that woman for yourself. I’m not interested in just any girl!”

"If you know what's best for you, you'll let Wang Xifeng out. After the master gets the benefit from you, he will certainly not treat you unfairly!"

"Whether it's gold or silver, or meritorious service or official position, the master will definitely give you a share."

"Everyone has merit in this imperial decree, except you. Do you know why?"

"In fact, your name was on the list at first, but didn't you divorce Wang Xifeng?"

"Since you two have separated, there is no relationship between you two. Wouldn't it be a waste to give you the credit?"

When Jia Lian heard these words, his head suddenly started buzzing and he couldn't even stand steadily.

Whose achievements are calculated based on other people’s wives?

"You, how could you do this?" He argued with veins bulging on his forehead and a red face and thick neck.

"Why not?" Master Zhan spread his hands and said with a smile, "The credit was not yours in the first place. You are already taking credit for it by putting your name in it."

"Since it's a false credit, then naturally I can give it to whoever I want. How can you be picky?"

"I remember there was a guy named Duohunchong in your house. He gave his wife Duoniang to other people to play with in exchange for benefits. You slept with him, right?"

"You are happy when you sleep with other people's wives, why can't you accept this kind of thing when it happens to you?"

"In fact, you are almost the same as him, and you may not even see things as clearly as he does!"

When Master Zhan compared Jia Lian with Duo Hunchong, and even said that he was not as good as Duo Hunchong, the last string of rationality in his mind suddenly broke. He let out a loud scream and rushed forward, roaring, wanting to fight Master Zhan to the death.

Master Zhan slapped him with his hand and sent him flying. He rolled on the ground and struggled for a long time but couldn't get up.

"Look, that fool knows who to curry favor with and who not to mess with, but you have no idea of ​​the situation at all."

"In terms of title, I am an earl, and your family lost the title long ago."

"In terms of status, I am an official and you are a citizen."

"In terms of power, I am favored by the emperor, but your Jia family is on the wrong side and is disliked by His Majesty."

"Even in terms of martial arts, your mediocre skills are no match for me."

"Why do you argue with me?"

"You know Wang Xifeng's character. Even if she is asked to choose between you and me, who do you think she will choose?"

"Master, I'll kindly show you the way!"

"You have some connections at home. You might as well donate a small official position first, then manage your business well, firmly follow the emperor, and continue to follow the path of nobility. Maybe you can achieve something in the future."

"Of course, if you can be cruel enough to stab yourself, then I have a close relationship with Xia Zongguan, the eunuch of the six palaces, and I can definitely introduce him to you."

Mr. Zhan had good intentions, but Jia Lian was already so angry at the moment that his eyes were red as he stared at him with hatred in his eyes.

"Alas, I turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon only shines on the ditch!"

Mr. Zhan sighed deeply, waved his hand and asked Yang Yougong to come over, take Jia Lian out and escort him back to the Jia Mansion.

Of course Jia Lian refused to do so. He struggled and cursed, then Yang Yougong slapped him unconscious and took him away.

Since I have a car to go in and out, I don't have to worry about being seen.

Jia Lian slept for half the night. After waking up, he recalled the humiliation he had suffered before and suddenly became furious. He threw and smashed things in the yard until dawn.

But now he has long been unwelcome in the mansion. No matter how much he does, no one comes to look at him.

This made him even more disappointed!
"The world is so fickle and indifferent!"

Jia Lian looked at the rising sun, sighed, and finally calmed down. He began to think about how to change his family's current embarrassing situation.

After walking around the yard for a few times, he finally decided to go and ask for an audience with Master Zheng.

Although Master Zheng was a good-for-nothing, secretly plotting against his own brother and bullying his way through the family, he was also too stupid to realize what was going on, and ended up losing the title that Jia Lian had obtained. Both families suffered a great loss, and the neighboring kid Jia Rong got the advantage for nothing.

But no matter what, you can't write two Jia characters with one stroke. When we are bullied by outsiders, we should stand together and resist foreign aggression.

Because of the great changes in the family, although he had known that Master Zheng had suffered a stroke, he had been practicing martial arts and had never gone to visit him. Now was the perfect time to make up for it.

He knew that Master Zheng was a rather pedantic person and believed that a gentleman could be deceived, so he tidied up his appearance, selected a generous gift, and went to visit Master Zheng.

In fact, Master Zheng didn't care at all whether Jia Lian came to visit him or not.

He has been relatively free these days. In the past, he was always worried about how to maintain family connections, how to seek a title, the attitude of the families of the four kings and eight dukes, how to balance the wives and concubines in the family, the academic progress of Baoyu and Jia Huan... and so many other things, he had endless worries.

But now, after this serious illness, he realized that everything is fake and only health is real.

Without a healthy body, fame, fortune, glory and wealth are all fleeting.

No wonder the emperor wanted to become an immortal when he got old!
After figuring it out, Jia Zheng now relaxes every day, not caring about anything, not asking anything, and just focusing on recuperating. Even though Aunt Zhao comes less and less often, he doesn't care, let alone Jia Lian, who is not a very close nephew.

However, although he didn't care much, he was still quite happy that someone came to visit him, so he asked someone to invite Jia Lian in, and asked someone to seat him so that they could chat for a while.

Usually, Aunt Zhao was the one who came here the most often. She would chat with him, but she would only talk about trivial matters about family life, which he didn't like to hear at all. But if she talked about other things, Aunt Zhao couldn't understand either, and it was very boring.

Now that Jia Lian is here, he can just ask about what's happening outside the mansion.

"My dear nephew, is there anything important happening outside the mansion now?"

Jia Lian frowned when he heard this. Speaking of big things, the only thing that concerned them was Master Zhan becoming an earl.

He didn't want to start crying to Jia Zheng about the ugly face of Master Zhan, but since Master Zheng asked, he had to answer, so he frowned and said:
"If we talk about the big event, it's nothing more than that Zhan Niansi made a strange and ingenious thing called a steam engine, presented it to the court, and tricked a count into coming back."

After Jia Zheng heard this, he turned around in surprise, glanced at Jia Lian, and said in astonishment:
"What are you talking about, nephew?"

"Although gimmicks and tricks are bad, I heard that steam engines can replace water mills and windmills, and drive workshops to smelt iron and steel. They are very useful. How can we generalize?"

"Oh, by the way, I heard that everyone in the mansion got a lot of credit for this, and Baoyu and Huan Saner also received their own rewards. I have been concentrating on self-cultivation recently, so I didn't ask about the details."

"My nephew has always had a good relationship with my nephew Zhan, but I wonder what reward he got?"

It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned the reward, but when he did, Jia Lian felt even more miserable. He immediately fell to the ground in tears, crying:
"Second Master, you don't know that Zhan Nian Si was obsessed with lust and had set his eyes on your niece's wife. He intended to use this achievement as bait to seduce a decent woman. Since my nephew refused to take his bait, he did not leave any achievement to me."

"Uh..." Jia Zheng was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "The niece-in-law you mentioned, could it be Feng girl? Didn't you two get divorced?"

Jia Lian cried out:

"My nephew wanted to remarry, but he didn't know that Zhan had already set his sights on Feng'er, and he was in cahoots with Wang Ren to take Feng'er as his concubine."

"Uncle, you have to make the decision for my nephew!"

"..." After hearing Jia Lian's crying, Jia Zheng's face froze. He didn't want to get involved in this mess.

Although he is now concentrating on self-cultivation, he still knows some things. For example, after Empress Yuan came back, she proposed to let Tanchun marry Master Zhan as a concubine, saying that this nephew Zhan is in the emperor's heart and is most valued by His Majesty. She also asked the mansion to follow the emperor's footsteps in the future and not do anything that would anger His Majesty.

If Jia Zheng had been in good health in the past, he would probably not have taken these words to heart, and would have continued to stick to his own path, clinging tightly to the Supreme Lord and the four kings and eight dukes.

But after he fell ill this time, he obviously discovered the deterioration of the environment in the mansion. Those people who used to shamelessly come to visit him now even less come to visit him.

After all, he has been in officialdom, and is more sensitive to these human fickle matters than Jia Lian.

At that time, there were no rumors in the palace that the Emperor was dissatisfied with Concubine Yuan, but those flies that followed the star had already dispersed, indicating that the power of the Jia family was truly declining.

Lying on the hospital bed, he thought carefully and figured out why these people abandoned him.

The fundamental reason is very simple. After he fell, the Jia family lost its pillar, and there was not even a person who could attend court.

In a place like the capital, if you are completely in the dark about what is going on in the court and have no keen sense of smell, then you won’t even know what you can do and what you can’t do, and your family will be only one step away from downfall.

Who would care about a family with no future?
Even though he still has many connections passed down from his ancestors, in the current situation, it is unclear whether others will recognize him or not.

He considered his words for a moment, then soothed her in a gentle tone:
"Lian'er, you don't need to worry too much about this matter."

"You have already divorced Feng girl. Whether she marries someone else or becomes a concubine, it is her own choice and has nothing to do with you."

"You are now in your prime, and you have our family as your backing. Instead of remarrying Feng girl, you should marry another virtuous woman and live a good life with her. That is the most important thing!"

"I have a student who is now serving as a judge in Shuntian Prefecture. His name is Fu Shi. He has a younger sister named Fu Qiufang. She also came to the prefecture to help with the silk thread work. You should have seen her."

"She is a beautiful lady, very pretty and intelligent, a perfect match for you, but not as aggressive as Feng. She is very gentle and virtuous, perfect for you to be a concubine."

"I will ask your aunt to invite her to the house to see her. If you are satisfied, we can arrange the marriage."

"If you think her status is too low, then I have two other candidates. They are Gong Cai's two cousins, named Li Wen and Li Qi. They are also young ladies from scholarly families. They are both dignified, gentle and virtuous."

"Uncle, let me say something unpleasant. That Feng girl has been spoiled by the Wang family since she was young. She has never really respected you like a master. She orders you around all the time. Even if she has a concubine Ping'er, she can only look at her but not eat her. She is not allowed to get involved in any fishy smell."

"It's hard to say anything else about the three candidates that your uncle introduced to you, but if we only talk about the husband being the backbone of the wife, they are definitely much better than Feng girl."

"I am doing this for your own good, nephew. Please think carefully about this."

Jia Lian had indeed seen Fu Qiufang. In terms of appearance, she was indeed not inferior to the young ladies in the mansion, especially her gentle and virtuous temperament, which made him fall in love with her. It was just that there was a tigress in the family who kept a strict eye on her, otherwise he would have found a way to make her his concubine long ago.

Now, hearing what Jia Zheng said, the image of Fu Qiufang's charming smile appeared in front of his eyes, and the anger in his heart was also extinguished a lot.

However, Fu Qiufang's family background was indeed low, and even though he was being a concubine, he was somewhat unwilling to do so.

Now that he has seen the importance of power and background, he pays more attention to the choice of his future wife.

After hesitating for a while, he thought it would be better to see the three girls first before making a decision, so he thanked Jia Zheng and said:

"Thank you for your kindness, uncle. I will give you a reply after I think about it carefully."

Jia Zheng knew that he would lose face and was embarrassed to give up Wang Xifeng immediately, lest he appear too heartless, so he smiled and nodded in agreement:
"This is a major marriage matter, so we should be careful."

"Uncle is an experienced person, so I would like to give you a kind word of advice. As the saying goes, a real man will never have trouble finding a wife. Why bother getting angry with Lord Zhan about this?"

"Since you and Feng girl have already divorced, why not give it to him?"

After hearing this, Jia Lian cursed in his heart, "It's not your wife who is being sent out, so you can naturally make sarcastic remarks here." But he agreed on the surface and said goodbye.

When Jia Zheng saw him leave, he hurriedly asked someone to call Mrs. Wang over and quickly implement the matter to avoid any more trouble and Jia Lian causing trouble that would upset Lord Zhan.

These days, Mrs. Wang was the most powerful person in the mansion and was flattered by everyone. She was living a happy and glorious life and had long forgotten that her master was lying in bed, let alone helping him get medicine.

Now, when she heard that Master Zheng wanted her to come over, she was very unhappy and came over in a huff. Then, after hearing what Jia Zheng said, which involved Master Zhan's affairs, she suddenly woke up and became much more proactive. That day, she sent someone to pass the message to Fu Shi, asking him to arrange for his daughter to come and see him.
