The Overlord of the Red Mansion

Chapter 116: Princes and Nobles
Everyone in the Ning Mansion has always had a bad impression of the West.

This is even worse, including many Jia family members who came from Rong Mansion in the west.

Tanchun and the others looked at the maid who brought the news and felt that it must be another mess.

The maid quickly said, "To answer your question, Master, something happened between Master Bao and me. Master Bao suddenly wanted to commit suicide, so I took a bow and arrow and went to the street to shoot at anyone I saw, injuring several people."

Jia Yuanchun stood up suddenly, "What's going on? Why did he suddenly go crazy? Why did the two of them start arguing?"

The maid said hurriedly, "I don't know. Madam sent someone to tell me what happened just now."

Jia Rong stood up and walked out, "I'll go over and take a look."

Jia Yuanchun and others were extremely anxious, and soon sent more than a dozen maids out to inquire about the news.

Jia Rong brought more than fifty men to the door, and as soon as he went out, he saw Jia Zheng's son Jia Huan.

Jia Huan said, "My Lord, the old lady asked me to invite you over. My second brother has gone crazy."

Jia Rong took his men directly there.

Jia Huan felt very uncomfortable when he saw Jia Rong and his men passing by him, ignoring his brother-in-law.

Jia Zheng is Jia Rong's father-in-law and Jia Huan's brother-in-law.

But my sister and brother-in-law don’t care about him at all!

Jia Huan soon followed with a sneer on his face. Anyway, something had happened to Jia Baoyu and Jia Lan, and Jia Lian had fled somewhere else. From now on, he would be the only man with the surname Jia!
When Jia Rong walked to the gate of Jia She's courtyard, he saw a man lying on the ground with an arrow stuck in his heart.

In addition to the man who was shot to death, there were also several male and female passers-by who were injured. Fortunately, there were only four people.

"Murder! Murder! My father was killed by this family! Master, please help me!"

A young man next to the dead man quickly knelt on the ground and shouted.

Li Wan was also in the yard. After hearing the shouting outside, she didn't care about anything else and hurried out to look at Jia Rong.

Jia Rong was observing the dead and injured passers-by nearby, wondering why Jia Lan could do such a thing.

Jia Lan seems to be just thirteen years old. I have always thought of him as a cowardly child, but I didn’t expect that he has improved so quickly in the past two years.

There will definitely be enough food for Jia Lan at home. If a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child practices archery and martial arts, he will not be lacking in strength.

When Jia Lan was young, he was indeed an honest child who studied hard, but in recent years he has also practiced martial arts due to the influence of the environment.

While he was thinking about things, the man whose father had died saw Li Wan coming out.

"It was your son who killed my father! I will report you to the authorities! Make your son pay for my father's life!!"

After hearing what the passerby's son said, Li Wan's body trembled with anxiety, and her clothes also trembled.

"Lord! Please save my son, he didn't mean it!"

Li Wan quickly knelt down to Jia Rong in front of a large group of people.

The son of the passerby shouted, "Duke! My father's death cannot be in vain! Please, Duke, make a decision for my father!"

As the passerby's son spoke, he crawled towards Jia Rong, trying to grab Jia Rong's pants.

Jia Rong kicked him away and said angrily, "Get lost! Do whatever you want! Don't get in my way!"

Having said that, Jia Rong walked towards the courtyard gate.

The servants nearby were not afraid of trouble. Lin Zhixiao hurriedly said to Li Wan, "Grandma Zhu, please go in quickly, otherwise people will see and laugh at the Jia family's reputation."

Li Wan reacted and quickly got up and went to the yard.

Now the only one who can save Jia Lan is Jia Rong!
For her son, Li Wan is willing to do anything!

After Jia Rong entered the yard, Jia Zheng came out quickly.

"My lord!"

Jia Rong said quickly: "No need to be polite, what's the situation?"

Jia Zheng sighed and said, "At noon, Baoyu suddenly said he didn't want to live anymore. He tossed and turned, and then he fainted after being tired. I don't know why Lan Ge'er went crazy. He went out shooting arrows and injured several people. I just had him tied up."

"After he used up all his strength, he yelled that he wanted to kill someone, and soon after, he passed out."

Jia Rong quickly went into the yard to check the situation.

Jia Lan was seen tied to a tree, while Jia Baoyu was sleeping in the house. Mrs. Wang and Lady Jia were crying non-stop.

"My son! My flesh and blood!" Mrs. Wang burst into tears. "If you leave, I will not live either!"

Jia Rong walked in and scolded, "Sons are flesh and blood, but daughters are not? Isn't the money you spend every day given to you by your daughter? You have no conscience! All you do is cherish your son. I've told you eight hundred times that you can't count on your son!"

After being scolded, Mrs. Wang's tears fell even faster, but she had no ability to refute her son-in-law's words.

When the old lady saw Jia Rong coming, she hurriedly said, "Duke! You must save Baoyu! Save Lang'er!"

Jia Rong sat down and said, "Don't cry, old lady. When there was something going on in the Jia family, I was always absent." The old lady was relieved to hear this and stood up and said, "The Jia family depends on you. There is not a single person among these people who can be relied on."

Jia Rong stretched out his hand to diagnose Jia Baoyu.

It is obvious that we have now entered a mysterious realm that cannot be explained by science.

"The pulse is disordered, the veins are blocked..."

As Jia Rong was speaking, he grabbed Jia Baoyu's hair with one hand and lifted his head up.

Under the gaze of Xiren and others, Jia Rong slapped Jia Baoyu twice in the face.

Snapped!
Snapped!
Just like repairing the TV, Jia Baoyu quickly and slowly opened his eyes.

Mrs. Wang and Lady Jia, who were shocked just now, were now extremely surprised.

Xiren, with tears streaming down her face, shouted happily: "Second Master is awake! Second Master! I am Xiren! Second Master, are you okay?"

Jia Baoyu's eyes were abnormal, so calm that he didn't seem like a normal person.

With his head grabbed by Jia Rong, he looked at Mrs. Wang who was approaching him.

"I have to go now, pack up and send me away!"

When Mrs. Wang and Lady Jia understood what was said, they couldn't stop crying.

Madam Wang shouted, "My son! My sweetheart! How can I live alone without you?!"

Seeing this, Jia Rong slapped Jia Baoyu in the face again.

"Rebellious son! Evil creature!" Jia Rong cursed loudly.

Jia Baoyu's face became red and swollen.

Jia Baoyu looked at Jia Rong and shouted frantically, "Just beat me to death! I don't want to live anymore!"

Snapped!
Jia Rong slapped him again, and Jia Baoyu's face became even redder, and tears could not stop flowing.

Snapped!
Jia Rong slapped him again.

Xiren grabbed Jia Rong's hands with both hands and cried, "Master! Stop hitting him! If you hit him again, he will die!"

Jia Rong pushed Xiren away with one hand and continued.

Mrs. Wang no longer cared about the difference between men and women. She quickly came over and grabbed Jia Rong's hands with both hands. She even knelt down and shouted, "Stop hitting me! If you want to hit me, hit me! Don't hit my son!"

Jia Rong quickly scolded: "Wipe your dog eyes and look at this boy!"

Mrs. Wang and Xiren felt stunned, and the old lady and Jia Zheng, who were also anxious to plead for mercy, also felt strange, so they all looked at Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu was seen crying uncontrollably, holding Jia Rong's hands with both hands, and his face was obviously full of fear.

Jia Rong pulled his hand out of Mrs. Wang's arms and was about to give Jia Baoyu another blow of love.

"Stop hitting me! It hurts!"

Jia Baoyu quickly put his hands in front of his head and his body was shaking. It was obvious that he was scared to death of his brother-in-law.

Jia Rong got up from the bed and walked to the side and sat down.

Mrs. Wang and Xiren hurried to take care of Jia Baoyu, and the old lady also sat beside the bed and asked questions.

"Baoyu, you almost scared us to death. What kind of foolish medicine did you take? What made you crazy?"

Jia Baoyu covered his face with one hand and grabbed the quilt with the other. "I don't know. I was reading a book today, and suddenly I felt very uncomfortable, as if I was dreaming. I can't remember it. It hurts!"

Li Wan hurriedly said to Jia Rong, "Duke! Please save my son!"

Jia Rong frowned and asked, "Has anyone been here today?"

Li Wan hurriedly shook her head, "I don't know, a lot of people came in just now, I can't remember clearly."

Jia Zheng said at this time: "Save Lan'er first. I have been at home the whole time. The two of them have not spoken to each other today. We have eaten all the food. I really can't think of what happened."

Lin Zhixiao came in from outside and stood at the door and said, "My Lord, there are soldiers outside who are supervising the guards. They said someone has reported to the authorities. Killing someone in the street is a big deal. They are following orders to investigate the matter."

Jia Rong said angrily: "Let them go!"

Jia Zheng was shocked and had a lot to say, but he couldn't.

Lin Zhixiao went out quickly and came back soon.

"Master, everyone has left."

When the spring breeze blew, Jia Zheng broke out in a cold sweat. Only then did he understand what a prince or a noble was.
