The Heavens Begin with Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 63 Things are going to get bigger

Keqing is sick!

As soon as Mr. Zhan heard it, he knew that Keqing was suffering from a mental illness.

Apart from anything else, thanks to the "gem energy", Master Zhan's "dual cultivation energy" can now not only strengthen himself, but also strengthen the dual cultivation partner. Master Zhan's body fluids can now be called a panacea that can cure all diseases.

From time to time, Master Zhan would go to Ningguo Mansion to stay overnight, give Keqing injections and medicine, and take care of Keqing until she was more beautiful than a flower. Even though her body had not been strengthened, all hidden injuries and hidden dangers had already been eliminated, making it impossible for her to get sick.

Heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine. Mr. Zhan loves to be a psychologist, so he stayed in Ningguo Mansion that night.

"My dear niece, the master heard that you were ill, so he came to see you."

Keqing was leaning on the bed. When she saw Master Zhan come in, she didn't get up. She just sighed and turned her head away.

Mr. Zhan did not take it as an offense. He took off his shoes, got on the kang, took off his clothes, and got into Keqing's bed, holding her in his arms.

Keqing struggled symbolically for a few times, then fell on Master Zhan's chest and began to shed tears.

Master Zhan lowered his head and licked the crystal clear little pearls, then asked with a smile:

"Are you worried about Jiao Da's nonsense?"

A few days ago, Youshi invited all the ladies of Rongguo Mansion to her house to enjoy the snow. However, when the ladies returned home, they met the drunk Jiao Da.

Jiao Da, relying on the merit and favor of saving the grandfather in the past, looked down on everyone and dared to say anything.

Taking advantage of being drunk, he started shouting nonsense, saying something like "Those who have an affair have an affair, those who support their brother-in-law support their brother-in-law", so that everyone in the Rongguo Mansion could hear it clearly.

Everyone in the Rongguo Mansion was made for self-media. When they heard this kind of gossip, they would just spread it as if it was true, regardless of whether it was true or not. Within a few days, everyone knew about it.

Keqing always thought that her family had done a very good job of keeping secrets. Even if outsiders found out, it would only be Master Zhan's affairs that leaked out, and there would definitely be no problems with the eldest master.

In order to prevent the news from leaking in the future, she also prepared a special reason for "borrowing seeds" and prepared a protective armor for herself.

Unexpectedly, the defense built by Master Zhan using gold and silver was impregnable, but the problem occurred on the side of the eldest master.

This is going to cost me my life!
It is of course despised for a woman to have an affair with a man outside her marriage, but if it is for the purpose of "borrowing sperm", then in today's public opinion environment, it is mostly excusable. After all, there are three unfilial acts, and the worst of them is to have no offspring!

But if she were to have an affair with her own father-in-law, that would be a violation of moral principles and it is something that cannot even be written about.

Thousands of people point at it, but die without illness.

It feels really bad to have someone stabbed you in the back.

Especially since this is actually true!
Keqing was not only worried about the eyes of outsiders, but also worried about how Master Zhan would look at her. Would he despise her even more because of this? Would he ignore her because of this? Would he transfer the clothing business to someone else because of this?

The eldest and second masters of the Ningguo Mansion are not pushovers. Without the support of Master Zhan, I'm afraid her future will be extremely tragic.

Now, hearing Mr. Zhan's question, Keqing felt sad and burst into tears.

Mr. Zhan had no choice but to use his best method of comforting people, and began to "comfort" people using both mouth and hands.

The sickly Keqing naturally has a different kind of touching charm.

Soon, Keqing stopped crying, and then started crying again.

The first cry makes you angry, the second cry makes you weak, the third cry makes you exhausted.

After the three cries and the ten thousand chapters were finished, Keqing lay in Master Zhan's arms, her little face rosy, like a sleeping crabapple in spring, without any sign of illness at all.

"Good Keqing, don't worry, this is just a small matter, let the master help you."

Keqing pouted her rosy lips and said in disbelief:
"Their mouths are on their faces, how can uncle block their mouths and stop them from speaking?"

Master Zhan laughed and said:

"Throughout the ages, this has been the forte of the masters. With just a little practice, it's easy to keep their mouths shut."

"The method is nothing more than coercion and inducement!"

Keqing's eyes lit up, and she stared at Master Zhan with her beautiful eyes, saying in a sweet voice:

"Those bad guys are very greedy, and they are going to cost Uncle a lot of money."

Mr. Zhan smiled and said:

"According to my many years of experience, using money to bribe people is something that only outsiders do, and the effect is poor."

"The best way, of course, is to get an order from above to keep it secret!"

"Those who disobey orders and dare to speak nonsense will be fired and deprived of food and clothing, or simply beaten to death to serve as a warning to others and see who dares to speak the truth again!"

"For example, in Ningguo Mansion, no one dared to talk too much before. Go ahead and punish Jiao Da severely and drive away the talkative people, and they will naturally behave themselves."

After hearing this, Keqing frowned and said:

"The Ningguo Mansion's affairs are easy to deal with, but the Rongguo Mansion may not give face to uncle, and the Rongguo Mansion has always been in chaos. Even if the master and mistress say something, no one may obey it."

"Haha..." Master Zhan sneered after hearing this, "It's useless to ask them for help. We have to force them to do it on their own initiative."

"To kill a snake, you need to hit it at its most vulnerable part. You just need to find the right spot. Is there anyone that you can't take advantage of?"

"You have to make this a big deal and force the higher-ups to deal with it."

"You don't need to worry, just watch how I manipulate you."

Keqing was half-believing and half-doubting, but she knew Master Zhan's ability, and seeing that Master Zhan was so confident, he must be somewhat sure!
Now she was at the end of her rope, and Master Zhan was her last straw. She plucked up her spirits, got up, and began to plow the land again.

Sure enough, this is already a mature land!
But after enjoying Keqing's devoted service, Master Zhan sent someone to bring a message to Baochai, asking her to manipulate him.

The Xue family had spent gold and silver all over the Rongguo Mansion before, and now it was finally time to reap the rewards. It was just spreading some gossip, so what was the difficulty?

Baochai herself is also a smart person. She did not show up herself, but only considered some vague words, allowing Hongye and others to find their targets and leak the information inadvertently, guiding others to make their own associations. Even if they investigated, they would not be able to find the Xue family.

So, before long, all kinds of news were flying around the mansion.

A lot of news sounds like rumors, but those gossipers don’t care whether the news is true or not, they just want to vent their anger.

When there are too many rumors, the truth mixed in them will also be regarded as rumors.

Compared with the news fabricated by Mr. Zhan, the things happening in Ningguo Mansion were not worth mentioning at all and were soon diluted by the numerous new news.

This is normal, new hot searches will always cover old hot searches!

One day, Wang Xifeng was inspecting the Rongguo Mansion. When she passed a corner, she saw two old women slacking off there. She was unhappy and planned to go over and scare them, so she walked over there with light steps. Just as she was about to scold them, she heard the two women gossiping there.

"Hey, did you hear that?"

"I heard that Master Bao and Grandma...both went to the East Palace!"

The old woman put her hands together, rubbed her thumbs together, and had an ambiguous look on her face.

Wang Xifeng was about to get angry when she heard the maid opposite her say with a smile:
"What is this?"

"Our Master She is still cheating on his wife!"

"The East Palace's Jiao Da already knew about it, but our palace was the last to know about it."

Master She is Wang Xifeng's father-in-law. If he were to have an affair, who would it be?
Wang Xifeng was immediately furious and stepped forward and slapped him in the face.

"A bunch of shameless gossipers!"

"You're just gossiping here!"

The two old women were hit, and then they saw the real person behind the gossip appear in front of them. They were so scared that their souls left their bodies, and they quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Please forgive me, Second Madam. This is not what I said. It was said by Sixth Aunt in the front yard..."

The two old women had no intention of taking the blame for others, and they sold out the person who spread the rumors without waiting for questions.

When Jiao Da acted like a spoiled child that day, Wang Xifeng was also present.

When she heard the gossip, she only despised it in her heart, but never thought of concealing it. This is why the rumor that was known by a few people spread everywhere in the mansion.

But who would have thought that just a few days later, this boomerang would fall on her head!
Of course she knew who these "cheater" and "raising a brother-in-law" were referring to, but she couldn't say it out loud.

Should I tell these two people that this was done by people from Ningguo Mansion and it has nothing to do with me?

Wang Xifeng was so angry that she was shaking all over. How could she let it go so easily? But she also knew the character of the people in this mansion. If she drove them away like this, she was afraid that they would start shouting everywhere, saying what they heard as if they had seen it with their own eyes, and even saying that what was false was true.

After a change of mind, Wang Xifeng decided that she must prove her innocence, so she had the two old women tied up and taken to Mrs. Wang's yard. At the same time, she had someone tie up the Sixth Aunt in the front yard and bring her over for confrontation.

Mrs. Wang was resting in the yard. She was shocked to see this group of people coming over noisily. Wang Xifeng was crying, which was unusual for her. They kept asking her to seek justice for them.

"You hottie, who in the mansion dares to make you angry on weekdays?"

"If they did something wrong, you should beat them, scold them, or even fire them if that doesn't work. Why are you acting like this now?"

Wang Xifeng cried and complained:
"I have always known that being a housekeeper is difficult, but since the Madam values ​​me, I have no choice but to do it reluctantly, even if it means offending some villains."

"But who knows? I am still young and ignorant. I don't know how sinister people are."

"When such people fail to strike openly, they resort to veiled tactics, making up rumors and slandering others behind their backs, which makes it hard for people to tell the difference!"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked what had happened, and Wang Xifeng told her what she had heard without adding any exaggeration.

But this matter not only involves Wang Xifeng, but also Mrs. Wang’s beloved son, Jia Baoyu. How could this be tolerated?

Mrs. Wang also became furious and slammed the table and cursed:
"You are a bunch of ungrateful bastards. You don't even remember who gave you your jobs. You don't do your job properly and only care about hurting others!"

"My Rongguo Mansion is a kind family, and we cannot tolerate such black-hearted people. We will definitely send them away."

"Let everyone know clearly that it's not that our Jia Mansion cannot tolerate them. It's really that people like them are so heartless and unruly that they can't behave like human beings. Let other families take this as a warning when recruiting people."

When the two people on the ground heard this, they were immediately paralyzed with fear. It was clear that not only would they be driven out, but their livelihood would also be completely cut off. They felt hatred and fear in their hearts, and they kowtowed and cried for mercy.

At this time, the Sixth Aunt was also caught over. The old woman immediately felt like she had grabbed the last straw and pointed at her and screamed:
"Madam, that was not said by me, but by this Sixth Aunt."

The Sixth Aunt had already inquired about what happened on the way here, and she knelt down in a hurry and kowtowed to explain:

"I didn't spread the gossip about the Second Madam. I heard it from Li Sanniang in the backyard. I also heard about the matter between Second Master Bao and the First Madam today, but it wasn't spread by me."

Mrs. Wang became even more angry after hearing this. She originally thought that it was a malicious revenge by those who had been reprimanded by Wang Xifeng. Now she saw that these people were not the culprits. She immediately got angry and cursed:
"Then what are you talking about Baoyu?"

"There is nothing going on between Baoyu and the palace judge, but you, a bunch of dirty-hearted people, are making a fuss about it!"

As she spoke, she glared at the woman who had spread gossip about Baoyu, frightening her so much that she quickly confessed:
"I heard this from Miss Liu'er in the backyard, but it wasn't spread by me."

So Mrs. Wang ordered to capture Li Sanniang and Liu'er. As a result, one vomited one, and one led one away. Soon, more than a dozen people were caught and brought back from the yard, filling it up.

What’s worse is that these people are not the masterminds. They have all spit out different people, and it is unknown how many people are behind them.

At this point, Mrs. Wang was already in a difficult situation.

The law does not blame the public!
Moreover, among the people confessed, there were people from all the rooms and courtyards, not only ordinary servants, but also maids and servants in the rooms of the young ladies and masters of each family. None of Master She and Master Zheng escaped, and even a third-class maid under Mrs. Wang's own command was implicated, and even the maid in Lady Jia's room was involved.

This is trouble!

Mrs. Wang did not dare to act on her own, so she had to report it to her superiors again. She had these people taken away and put them under custody, and then she took Wang Xifeng to go to Lady Jia to cry to her grandmother.

It was a coincidence that Baochai and Aunt Xue were at Grandmother Jia's place, talking to her and trying to cheer her up, when they heard Yuanyang report that Mrs. Wang was catching people all over the yard, and no one knew why.

After hearing this, Jia Mu frowned and complained:

"This kid, he's already so old, but he's still not careful in what he does. He's made such a scene, it's really ridiculous."

Aunt Xue hurriedly smiled and said coaxingly:

"The old lady is treating us as outsiders!"

"As a housekeeper, things like this must be done openly and aboveboard, to scare off those lowly criminals!"

"As long as you are fair, no one will laugh at you!"

When Grandmother Jia heard this, she pointed at her and said with a smile:
"Your own sisters, of course you will speak for her."

Aunt Xue followed suit and laughed, but Baochai seemed to be hesitant to speak. Seeing this, Lady Jia asked:

"Bao girl, do you have something to say?"

"We are all family. You should learn from your cousin Feng Lazi and speak your mind without any scruples."

Baochai smiled and said:

"It's just some rumors from the outside world. If you tell them out, they will pollute our ancestors' ears."

Although Lady Jia seemed to be enjoying a life of luxury all day long, she actually never lost control of the Jia family and was always very concerned about the developments of these rumors.

If this rumor had not touched her sore spot too much, and the person who spread the news had not deliberately avoided the several masters in this mansion, others would have reported the news to her long ago.

Grandmother Jia laughed and said kindly:

"It seems that Bao girl knows what your second aunt is doing, but she is hiding it from me, an old lady."

Baochai hurriedly explained:
"I really didn't mean to hide it from you, but...some of the things I said were too absurd, and I was afraid you would get angry after hearing them."

"Those rumors are obviously false, but there are still many people in the mansion spreading them everywhere."

"Someone told Hongye about it and then told me. I immediately forbade Hongye and others to spread the news. I think the news got to Second Aunt's ears, so she got furious."

After hearing this, Jia's mother became more and more interested, and she smiled and waved her hand, saying:
"Since it's a ridiculous thing, why not just say it out loud and have fun with it."

"I'm already so old, I've seen everything, how can I get angry so easily?"

After Baochai hesitated for a moment, she said hesitantly:
"Some people say... that Master Bao likes married women the most, so... that's why he keeps pestering me all day long."

After hearing this, Grandmother Jia was indeed furious.

If these rumors were intended to attack Lady Jia, she would most likely have just dismissed them. As she was now the supreme ruler of the Jia family, she would not take these trivial matters to heart at all.

But Jia Baoyu is her sweetheart, her beloved one, and also her weak spot.

If anyone dared to attack her good grandson with rumors, she would never tolerate it!

"This mansion is really becoming more and more unruly!"

"Zheng's wife did a good job this time!" "People who gossip like this must be punished and must not be let off easily!"

Aunt Xue pretended to sigh:
"Rumors are something that cannot be explained clearly. Even if we deal with them, what's the point?"

"This is also my fault. I shouldn't have let Baochai and Baoyu get so close. It ruined Baoyu's reputation."

"I originally thought that Baoyu was still young and didn't understand the world, so it was not worth it for the two siblings to play together."

"But who would have thought... I don't know which evil person with such a black heart would stir up trouble for no reason, and it's clearly aimed at Baoyu."

After hearing these words, Grandmother Jia's face became even gloomier, and she began to worry about her grandson's reputation.

As they were speaking, Mrs. Wang came with Wang Xifeng to complain.

Originally, Grandmother Jia thought she had heard the news from Baochai, so she was very calm at first and expressed her support for Lady Wang very clearly. But when Lady Wang told her the situation, her face turned green.

She originally thought that there was only one rumor about Baoyu in the mansion, but who knew that she would hear two more. It was hard to say whether there were many rumors that had not yet reached her and were still spreading in secret.

Grandmother Jia hurriedly ordered the imprisoned servants to be brought over for further questioning.

This group of people were afraid that their guilt would be increased, so they squeezed out information like toothpaste, telling only as much as they were asked and saying nothing if they were not asked. Now that they are being interrogated, they know they can no longer hide it, so they start to speak up honestly, revealing even more rumors and the people who spread them.

But in just a moment, Grandmother Jia had found out new rumors, most of which were about her beloved phoenix egg, Jia Baoyu.

There are rumors that when Baoyu went to the East Palace that day, he specifically asked to sleep in Mrs. Rong's bed when he had a rest, which showed that he was coveting her.

The reason why he didn't go later was because Grandma Rong saw through his plan and stopped inviting him.

This also indirectly confirms the rumor that Jia Baoyu likes someone else's wife.

There were also rumors that Baoyu had already taken the four main maids in the room as his concubines, and had promised them the positions of concubines, and that he would hold a formal banquet like when Master Zhan took in a concubine.

There are also rumors that are not about Jia Baoyu. Apart from the rumors about cheating and raising a younger brother-in-law in Ningguo Mansion, there are rumors about Master She's family. It is said that Master She is cheating and that Master Lian is having an affair with Madam Xing... So in the future this title will definitely fall on Master Bao.

As soon as these rumors came out, Grandmother Jia was shocked. She subconsciously glanced at Lady Wang and Wang Xifeng, wondering if these rumors were the result of attacks between the two families.

This put her in a difficult position.

In fact, she never intended to let Jia Baoyu inherit the title. In her mind, this grandson of hers was born with a jade in his mouth and would definitely become a general or a prime minister in the future. A mere second-class general was not something she cared about at all. Becoming the new duke or prime minister in the future was Jia Baoyu's destiny.

But she couldn't say such things openly, and her preference for Jia Baoyu inevitably made others suspicious.

In her estimation, Jia She actually doesn't care who gets the title after his death. Jia Lian is a second-generation rich man who just wants to have money to spend and can't think that far ahead. Only Feng Lazi might care about this matter, and she also has the ability to bring about the current situation of mutual rumor bombardment.

If you want the title of my family, I will first discredit your son!

Just when I was feeling doubtful and uncertain, I heard hurried footsteps outside. The voices came in before the person came in.

"Grandpa, why is Madam so angry today that she arrested so many people?"

It was the person involved, Jia Baoyu, who came.

Most of those arrested before were small-time figures with no status. Those with some status, even if they had doubts in their hearts, would mostly just say a few words in their own yard. How could they spread such gossip casually?

No one would mention the close associates of the person involved in the gossip, for fear of getting into trouble. So Baoyu didn't know that his family had become the eye of the storm of rumors.

Xiren and the other four girls were originally well-informed, but because of the previous incidents such as Xue Pan's reward and the exposure of the hidden rules in the kitchen and purchasing, they offended everyone, and the news of this incident was blocked.

However, there are some “kind-hearted people” in this mansion!

At the right time, someone "kindly" came to guide Jia Baoyu and brought him to Jia's mother.

Xiren and the other three daughters were only on guard against the Xue family, but they never suspected that something was wrong with Lady Jia, so they allowed Baoyu to come here.

Seeing her precious grandson coming, Grandmother Jia's anger dissipated a little. She forced a smile and waved to call Baoyu to her side, hugged him and said:

"The servants in this mansion are too unruly. Your mother is the housekeeper, so you don't have to worry about these trivial matters..."

As they were talking, another party involved, Li Wan, also arrived.

So many people were arrested, and the Rongguo Mansion was leaking information like a sieve. Everyone who was interested knew the whole story. Someone who was good friends with Li Wan sent someone to deliver the news to her.

Li Wan usually thought she was very low-key, but unexpectedly she still suffered this unexpected disaster.

She also knew that people's words were scary, so she didn't dare to delay and hurried over.

Later, Madam Xing also came, but Master She and Master Lian were not in the mansion and did not come.

As soon as Li Wan came in and saw Lady Jia, she stepped forward to apologize:

"My granddaughter-in-law is now as depressed as a dead tree. She never dares to ask about the affairs of the mansion. She is only focused on raising Lan'er. At most, she accompanies her sisters in needlework and reciting."

"Today, I didn't expect to attract such bad luck for no reason. I think my granddaughter-in-law's virtue is not good enough. She will definitely be locked up in the living room in the future and dare not go out even a step."

Grandmother Jia hurriedly comforted her:
"Today's incident has nothing to do with the palace. It's all these despicable people gossiping about it. Please stop doing that."

Li Wan insisted:
"When you are in a melon field, you have to avoid suspicion."

"From now on, my grandson's wife will definitely not get close to Baoyu again."

Before Grandmother Jia could say anything, Baoyu, who was standing beside her, became anxious and took a step forward to grab Li Wan's hand. "Sister-in-law, what are you saying? Did my brother offend you in any way?"

Normally, Li Wan didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but now because of the rumor, she dared not let Baoyu hold her hand. She hurriedly took two steps back, waving her sleeves to drive him away, her face turning pale.

"Brother Bao, please stop!"

"You and I belong to two different families, so we must be careful about the separation between men and women."

Although Baoyu was coaxed to come, he had no idea about the rumors about him, and he had no idea why this beautiful and gentle sister-in-law suddenly became distant with him, so he habitually vented his anger and said:
"Yes, yes, I think I am just a dirty man, not worthy of being with my sister-in-law. A dirty thing like me is not worthy of being born in this deep hall and courtyard."

If he had acted like this in the past, Li Wan would have held him in her arms and comforted him, but now, after hearing this, Li Wan's face became even more alert, and she just wanted to run away as far away as possible.

Li Wan was frightened when she heard his words, and Mrs. Wang was furious when she heard them. She immediately stepped forward, grabbed his ears, lifted him up, and scolded him:
"How many times have I told you not to talk nonsense anymore? It will cause trouble for no reason!"

Baoyu stretched his neck and begged for mercy. Grandmother Jia felt distressed again and pulled Baoyu into her arms to comfort him.

Aunt Xue took the opportunity to advise again:
"What the palace judge said is not entirely without reason. Baoyu is now grown up, and it is time for him to pay attention to the distinction between men and women. How can he become a useful person if he always hangs out with girls?"

"It just so happens that Wenlong has been learning how to do things from Master Zhan recently, and he has made great progress in the past few months. If Baoyu is interested, he can definitely take on a job in the mansion, put his knowledge into practice, and let Wenlong help him. He will definitely benefit from it."

Grandmother Jia and Mrs. Wang were both somewhat tempted, but when Baoyu heard that he was going to learn how to do things, he immediately threw a tantrum, rolling in Grandmother Jia's arms and begging for mercy:
"Grandfather, I don't want to do those things, let alone separate from my sisters..."

Grandmother Jia couldn't persuade him, so she had to nod and agree.

"Okay, okay, if you don't want to do it, then don't do it. If you don't want to be separated from your sisters, then don't be separated."

A fierce light flashed in Grandmother Jia's eyes, and she ordered:
"There's no need to investigate today's incident any further. Drag these guys out and sell them off!"

"I want to see who dares to talk nonsense again in the future!"

Everyone present was shocked. No one expected that Lady Jia would be so cruel this time. Even Lady Wang and Wang Xifeng thought that it would be enough to just fire a group of people.

These rumors have now involved dozens of people. There is no need to investigate further to guess that most of the servants in the mansion are involved.

When there are too many people, things become difficult to handle.

If it is not dealt with, or if the handling is too light, most people will not learn the lesson and will continue to talk too much without any fear. Not only will they not be afraid, but they will also see through the master's strengths and weaknesses and look down on the master even more.

In fact, once these people are fired, other families will no longer employ them as servants after knowing what they have done. Basically, their livelihood is cut off, and they cannot even return to their hometown to farm, because most of these people are family-born children and have no land to farm.

The difference between firing them and directly killing them lies only in the time and process of their death, which can make the master appear more merciful.

Therefore, in Rongguo Mansion, firing someone is the greatest punishment.

But selling them directly was a greater punishment than dismissal, or in other words, the Rongguo Mansion had never punished servants like this before.

Because the people who were sold might not know who would end up in their hands, but most likely it would not be better off than in Rongguo Mansion. Moreover, they might be taken away from Beijing, separated from their families and away from their hometowns, and they might never be able to come back in their lifetime.

It can be seen that Grandmother Jia was really angry this time.

Instead, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng came forward to plead:

"Old lady, many people here have families in their houses. If you sell them like this, I'm afraid it will discourage everyone. You might as well give them a severe reprimand and fire them."

Seeing that the two of them said the same thing, Jia's mother became even more certain that today's incident was most likely caused by the fight between her two families, so she became even more determined to sell them all out.

Mrs. Wang and the other two only thought that Lady Jia was so angry because she loved her grandson that she wanted to use this as a warning to the servants in the mansion. However, they didn't know that the person Lady Jia really wanted to punish was them, the aunt and niece.

After the two persuaded her several times, Grandmother Jia calmed down her anger and said:
"I don't want to hear anyone in the mansion spreading rumors and attacking my master again. If they do it again, I will definitely not forgive them!"

A group of servants who had been frightened silly cried bitterly and begged desperately, but no one paid any attention to them. Wang Xifeng ordered them to be dragged out, beaten with a stick, and then their identity cards were confiscated. They were then expelled from the Rongguo Mansion and never employed again.

The highest ruler of the Jia family, Grandmother Jia, officially confirmed that all the news previously circulated in the family were rumors!

As an example of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, all the servants in the mansion were silent. No one dared to spread gossip anymore, let alone take the news as true. The previous events in Ningguo Mansion were forgotten long ago.

The developments here soon spread to Ningguo Mansion. Keqing immediately responded to Lady Jia's decision and ordered Jiao Da to be thrown to a farm outside the city to fend for himself. She also fired several people who had not been respectful to her recently.

Some people were dissatisfied and went to find Youshi to complain, but they didn't know that the two had already formed a united front, and they were also driven out of the mansion instead.

With Youshi's support, Keqing immediately stabilized the situation in Ningguo Mansion, and no one dared to talk nonsense anymore.

After the situation was settled, Keqing recovered from her illness immediately. She sat in front of the dressing table with great energy, drawing her eyebrows and applying powder, while instructing Baozhu:
"Go to the Zhan Mansion and send a letter to Uncle Zhan, telling him that I'm inviting Aunt Xiangling to come to my house as a guest and stay here tonight for a nighttime chat."

Baozhu understood immediately and went to the Zhan Mansion to deliver the message.

Soon, Mr. Zhan brought Xiangling to visit Ningguo Mansion.

Xiangling went to play with Keqing by herself, while Master Zhan drank and chatted with Brother Zhen and nephew Rong.

Previously, the four kings and eight dukes shared the profits from Erguotou's business in other provinces, and of course Ningguo Mansion also had a share. Now he handed it over to the young butler Yu Lulai to be in charge.

Although these businesses have not yet been launched, Brother Zhen has become more confident and has naturally become more generous with his money. Of course, he treats his financial sponsor, Brother Zhan, with more respect and affection.

Because the news of his affair leaked, Brother Zhen has been very low-key recently. He hasn't been going anywhere and just stays at home. He has been bored for a long time. Now that he sees Brother Zhan Xian coming to keep him company, he is even happier.

Mr. Zhan has many years of experience in Internet spamming, and just some of it can broaden Brother Zhen's horizons, so he will naturally welcome his arrival even more.

After having a good meal and a few drinks, it was natural for Mr. Zhan to spend the night at Rongger's courtyard.

The leak of the news of the affair was not without benefits. Because of this incident, Keqing finally knew which man was truly reliable, and she clung to him like a vine.

Jia Rong also witnessed how Master Zhan could make things happen at the touch of a button. Even many people in the Rongguo Mansion were played around by him. He became more aware of the power of money and became more eager to curry favor with him.

In the past, when Mr. Zhan came to visit Keqing, he had to use the name of "borrowing seed" and on the surface he had to give Jia Rong some face. But now he doesn't need to care at all. When Mr. Zhan comes, Jia Rong obediently gives up his room and finds a guest room to live in, and gives the bedroom in the main house to Mr. Zhan.

This time it is truly a cuckoo taking over the magpie's nest!

All the servants in the mansion, those who were not obedient were cleared out by Youshi and Keqing, and the rest were fed by Master Zhan with silver.

Everyone should know or guess something about certain things, but only Brother Zhen is kept secret!
Brother Zhen could never have imagined that his son would take the initiative to pimp for his own wife and even offer his own yard to let Master Zhan enjoy her as he pleased.

Of course, Master Zhan never treated his filial nephew Rong badly. He specially prepared an unpaid position of "winemaking consultant" for him in his own business.

It doesn’t matter whether you come or not, just come and collect your salary anytime.

With this stable salary, Rong Ge'er felt much more comfortable. He no longer had to be controlled by his master all the time, and he also had some spare money to have fun outside.

As long as you have money, there are countless fun things in this capital city.

He was enjoying himself here and didn't want to leave, so Rong Ge'er started to stay away from home more often.

However, even if Rong Ge'er does not return home, he does not have to worry about his wife. Anyway, Uncle Zhan will take care of her, so nothing will go wrong.

Rong Ge'er is still here tonight, and does not affect Master Zhan's enjoyment at all.

Mr. Zhan stepped into the familiar bedroom, but found that the original bedroom was now covered with "囍" characters, red silk and colorful satin filled the whole room, there were red candles lit on the table, and scales, wine jugs and wine glasses were placed on it. It was clearly decorated like a bridal chamber.

Beside the bed, a bride with a veil on her head was sitting there with her chest out and her stomach in.

Just as I was feeling pleasantly surprised, Xiangling came over with a smile on her face and whispered:

"Master, these were arranged by my concubine, Sister Keqing, and I in the whole afternoon. They are a little simple, so please don't dislike them, Master."

Master Zhan smiled happily, stretched out his hand and twisted Xiangling's body, and said teasingly:
"You silly fool, how come the master's niece-in-law is your sister?"

"Even if we consider age, she is still your elder sister!"

Xiangling chuckled and said:
"The one who enters first is the one who has the highest status. It's my fault that I entered first!"

"After what happened at Rongguo Mansion, Sister Keqing feels deeply for the master's kindness and has decided not to be the young lady of Ningguo Mansion anymore. She wants to be a concubine of our Zhan family instead."

"From today on, Sister Keqing will not only allow Master to manipulate her, but will also remain faithful to Master and will not allow any man other than Master to touch her, including Rong'er."

After hearing this, Mr. Zhan was even more delighted.

This is completely conquered!
it is good!
The master likes it very much!
Next, Xiangling acted as the best man, simply presided over the wedding, and paid homage to the heavens and the earth.

After the couple bowed to each other, Master Zhan took Keqing's hand, lifted her veil with a weighing rod, drank the wedding wine, and then Keqing took the initiative to offer her cherry lips to Master Zhan, letting him enjoy it.

After a long while, Keqing gasped and opened her mouth, fell into Master Zhan's arms, and whispered in his ear:
"Master, from tonight on, Keqing will live her whole life only for you, Master."

"Tomorrow, Keqing will have someone buy some kabuki dancers and learn from them how to make the master happy."

"From now on, if the master is happy, Keqing will be happy. If the master is unhappy, he can play with Keqing to vent his anger."

These words were more effective than any love words and immediately made Mr. Zhan aroused.

He picked up Keqing by the waist, carried her to the bed, and gently undressed her. But he heard Keqing giggling in his ear:

"Master, although my mother-in-law is a little old, she still has her charm. I will find an opportunity to bring her to you to play with. How about that?"

Although Mr. Zhan and Youshi had been having an affair for a long time, their love nest was built in You's mansion, which was not the same base as Keqing's. So although they benefited from it equally, the news had never leaked out, and Keqing and Jia Rong were also unaware of it.

Seeing Keqing's enthusiasm, how could Mr. Zhan reject her kindness? He immediately nodded and agreed with a smile.

"Good Keqing, just go for it. If you succeed, I will show you how the master will reward you!"

With her master's words as a reassurance, Keqing felt more at ease. She puffed out her chest and let her master taste her. At the same time, she began to think about how to collude with her useless ex-husband to frame and pressure her beautiful mother-in-law who was always superior to her.

There was no conversation that night, no details mentioned, no water left...
