Red Mansion: Seizing Jiangdong, starting with pirates

Chapter 195: The Scheme of Self-torture

Jia Huan was soon brought to Fang Yong.

Fang Yong told Jia Huan his identities.

Jia Huan was very shocked.

First, Fang Yong’s appearance is different from what was rumored, and his sister doesn’t seem to be at a disadvantage!

Second, the sister Xiangyun, whom Baoyu talked about every day, was actually serving Fang Yong at this time!

Fang Yong and Jia Huan chatted about some family matters.

Jia Huan suppressed the shock in his heart and quickly realized a problem during the conversation.

That is, Tanchun did not suffer as they imagined after marrying the Huaiyin thief. On the contrary, Tanchun lived a very good life. But why did Tanchun never write back to tell them that she was living well?
Could it be that I forgot about him?
Jia Huan felt a little aggrieved.

But he didn't show it.

Jia Huan realized that Fang Yong was testing him, so he tried his best to put away his usual rudeness and answered every question seriously. He even changed his address and called Fang Yong brother-in-law.

I have to say, Huan Lao San is something.

After several conversations, Fang Yong had a general understanding of Jia Huan's character.

Jia Huan is a little clever, has a very eccentric personality, is somewhat inferior, is secretly a bit vicious, and doesn't like to study, but he still has some knowledge, which is better than most ordinary people.

Fang Yong thought about it briefly and felt that Jia Huan’s character was not very good, but it was not bad either. If he was tempered a little, he should be okay.

Fang Yong assigned Jia Huan a basic job of recording documents in the army. This job would involve contact with many people and could serve as a certain training for Jia Huan.

At the same time, this job was not very important. As long as one could read and write, it would be enough. Although Jia Huan was young, he was qualified for the job.

Jia Huan was very happy after hearing this.

He didn't know that this job was very hard. He thought it was an easy job from the name. He thought that Fang Yong was recommending him to be an official, so he happily agreed.

On the way back, Jia Huan was so proud that even his walking posture changed. It must be said that people are really different when they have confidence.

Jia Huan returned to the courtyard where the Jia family temporarily lived.

That's how the previous scene happened.

Jia Huan felt evil in his heart, so he leaned close to Baoyu's ear and exaggerated what he heard, saying that Xiangyun had married Fang Yong and became someone else's wife.

When Baoyu heard this, it was as if a scorching thunder had exploded above his head. He was sweating profusely, his face was purple, his eyeballs were erect, saliva was flowing from the corners of his mouth, his hands and feet were stiff, and he stood upright like a telephone pole, saying:

"It's not true, it's not true!"

"If my sister Xiangyun leaves, I won't live anymore!"

"Sister Xiangyun can't leave!"

Everyone started to panic.

Several maids came forward to look at Baoyu, pinched his philtrum and pinched his earlobes, but there was no reaction at all.

Everyone became even more frightened, and the maids hurried to inform the old lady, and then to inform Madam Wang and Master Zheng.

As for Sister Feng and Master She, no one went to notify them.

Because Fang Yong separated Jia She's family and Jia Zheng's family when arranging their accommodation, Jia She, Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng and Yingchun were all in another courtyard.

Soon, Grandmother Jia ran out first with a cane.

Even Yuanyang, who was chasing from behind, was not as fast as Lady Jia!
"Oh, my precious jade, my sweetheart!"

Grandmother Jia shouted and went forward to check on Baoyu's condition.

Baoyu still didn't react.

He kept repeating those three sentences.

Seeing this, Jia's mother panicked, forgetting that this was no longer the Jia residence, and blurted out, "Go and get the imperial physician!"

Everyone stood there awkwardly, not daring to speak out a word to remind them.

Only Yuanyang reminded: "Old lady, the imperial physician may not be here right now, so let's call another doctor first!"

After hearing this, Jia's mother finally realized that this was no longer the Jia Mansion. Where could she go to call the imperial physician?
"Quick, go get the best doctor!"

Grandmother Jia said.

At this moment, Mrs. Wang also hurried over and burst into tears again.

Grandmother Jia barely recovered from her grief and asked the maids:
"What's going on? Did someone say anything to Baoyu?"

The maids did not hide anything and spoke out against Jia Huan at once.

Baoyu has four major maids. In addition to Xiren, there are three others: Sheyue, Qiu Wen, and Bihen. In addition, there are many other little maids, but their number is too large to be mentioned here.

Because of what happened before, Grandmother Jia felt guilty towards Xiren.

But Xiren was just a slave, and given Lady Jia's status, it was impossible for her to express apology to Xiren. As a result, Lady Jia's guilt turned into hatred, and she suppressed Xiren everywhere.

Because of this, Musk Moon, Qiu Wen and Bi Hen were promoted, and Grandmother Jia entrusted them with important tasks, asking them to be responsible for looking after Baoyu and preventing him from knowing about Xiangyun's affairs.

But now it has become like this.

In order to shirk their responsibility for failing to take good care of Baoyu, Sheyue, Qiu Wen and Bihen all added fuel to the fire and said that Jia Huan deliberately wanted to harm Baoyu and so on.

Upon hearing this, Jia Huan thought to himself that it was a blessing in disguise.

Fortunately, he really wanted to harm Baoyu on purpose, otherwise he would have been framed by three people!
After listening to the complaints of Sheyue, Qiuwen and Bihen, Jia's mother scolded Jia Huan harshly, "You rotten-tongued bastard, who told you to say such nonsense? Are you trying to harm Baoyu on purpose?"

Jia Huan is not stupid. He will not bear the reputation of murdering his brother.

"How could I harm Baoyu? I was just telling the truth!"

Grandmother Jia pressed on and asked:

"Then who told you this?"

Grandmother Jia issued a strict order not to spread the matter of Xiangyun. Jia Huan and Aunt Zhao stayed in the mansion and didn't know anyone outside. How did they know about it?
Upon hearing this, Jia Huan grinned proudly. He was waiting for this sentence!

Just as he was about to bring out Fang Yong to suppress the old lady, suddenly, a mournful voice came from behind: "Oh, oh, Baoyu~"

When Lady Jia heard this, she got furious. She knew who was talking just by the voice before she saw the person.

Grandmother Jia turned around suddenly and slapped Aunt Zhao in the face.

"What are you howling for!"

Grandmother Jia was furious.

Aunt Zhao's voice stopped abruptly. She covered her face and looked at Lady Jia in fear, not daring to move at all.

Jia Zheng felt a little embarrassed and wanted to say a few good words to Aunt Zhao, but looking at his angry mother, he finally chose to keep silent.

Grandmother Jia started to curse Aunt Zhao, saying that she was a foul-mouthed bitch, a vicious wife, and that she was deliberately harming Baoyu and had ulterior motives, etc.

While Grandmother Jia was scolding, the doctor came and took Baoyu's pulse. He concluded that he was suffering from acute mental pain and that this mental illness could not be cured quickly. Unless the knot in his heart was resolved, he would have to slowly recuperate with medication.

After hearing this, Grandmother Jia became even more angry. Baoyu's heart knot was about Xiangyun, so how could she help him to resolve the knot?

In her rage, Grandmother Jia became even angrier, and took out all her anger on Aunt Zhao, who had just stood out, and raised her cane to hit her.

Seeing this, Jia Huan rushed forward, his eyes rolled, and he came up with an idea. He deliberately used his right hand to block Jia Mu's crutch.

After using the crutch, not only was there no fracture, but there were also large bruises all over the body.

"I said what I said. How can you hit my mother? If you want to hit someone, hit me!"

Seeing this, Jia's mother became even angrier and said:

"You little devil, you admit it now, right?"

He raised his stick and hit again.

Jia Huan raised his right hand to block again. He felt bad and this time his hand was even more bruised and swollen, with broken skin and bleeding.

Although my hands hurt, my heart was happy.

Just wait, I’m going to show you something powerful!
At this time, Jia Mu's third crutch came again.

Jia Huan didn't get hit this time. Two hits were enough. The self-torture trick couldn't really break his hand!
Jia Huan dodged the cane.

"Who said I admitted it? I didn't do it on purpose. My brother-in-law told me about it!"

"Grandma, you can beat me, but my brother-in-law has arranged an errand for me today. My hand is broken and I can't go. Grandma, please ask someone to notify my brother-in-law!"
