The Overlord of the Red Mansion

Chapter 80 Revenge
Rongguofu

Grandmother Jia sat on a chair and looked at Jia Lian who was kneeling on the ground.

"You bastard!" Grandmother Jia couldn't help but curse, "You are just like your father, both are bastards!"

Mrs. Wang sighed and said, "What should we do now?"

The relationship between Mrs. Wang and Jia Lian is very ordinary. Jia Lian is Jia She's son, and Mrs. Wang's son is Jia Baoyu.

But now, not only Jia Lian was branded as disloyal and unfilial, but Jia Baoyu was also demoted to a commoner for similar reasons.

Mrs. Xing sat on the chair in a daze. At this moment, she suddenly realized that her only hope was Xing Xiuyan, the woman Jia Rong did not marry? !
Lai Da came in quickly and relayed Jia Rong's words.

Mrs. Wang was panicked and asked, "Why is he so heartless? Is he afraid that we will bring trouble to him and Yuanchun?"

Grandmother Jia scolded, "You still know this?"

Jia Lian was not panicking at first, but when he heard that Jia Rong would not help him, he started to panic and looked at Lai Da anxiously, "Why did Rong Ge'er say that?"

Lai Da was a servant of the Jia family and could not escape. He replied, "It is absolutely true!"

Jia Zheng was surprisingly calm at this time, and quickly said: "If he is really implicated, it is better not to help, so that the Ning Mansion will not suffer together."

Before anyone else could say anything, the old lady said, "Your master Zheng is right. As long as the Ning Mansion is still there, we have someone to rely on. If we implicate them all, who will be able to help us in the future?"

The old lady took a breath, calmed down and said, "Now the emperor has shown mercy, for the sake of my old bones and my late husband, he has left our family with the last bit of dignity."

"Wait a minute, if we are fine, the Ning Mansion will not watch us suffer."

Wang Xifeng cried, "Madam! I can do anything, but these two children cannot suffer with us. Please let me send someone to send Qiao'er and Ying'er to Rong'er. This way, I can rest in peace even if I die."

"Stupid! What depressing words are you talking about? I'm not dead yet! How can it be your turn?!" The old lady scolded loudly, and then said to the maid: "Fortunately, Tanchun and Xichun have not returned from Ning Mansion. Go and ask Miss Lin to take the maids and Ying'er and Qiao'er to Ning Mansion for shelter. Go through the back door at night and go quietly."

As long as the old lady is around, the Rong Mansion cannot be disbanded for the time being.

The butcher's knife was above him, and the emperor, who valued his reputation, had no intention of letting Lady Jia live on the streets.

Jia Rong soon received the imperial edict and got back his 20,000 silver coins.

"Uncle Rong!"

When the gatekeeper of Rong Mansion saw Jia Rong coming, he immediately shouted with joy.

Jia Rong said, "I was summoned by the emperor this afternoon, and he asked me to come and read the imperial edict."

No one dared to delay, and soon Lady Jia and others came out to greet them in the middle of winter.

After everyone arrived in the hall, Jia Rong read out the imperial edict after everyone knelt down.

The content of the imperial edict is very simple. Although you unworthy descendants are disrespectful to me and my father, I will spare your lives because your ancestors were loyal and capable ministers.

Not only am I kind and righteous, I also value filial piety. Seeing that you old ladies are getting old, I'd like to let you unfilial descendants continue to live in the big house. If I find that you are causing trouble again, don't blame me for being unkind and killing you.

"Appreciate this!"

After Jia Rong finished reading the imperial edict, he walked to the side and sat down. "Okay, it's all right."

Seeing Jia Rong's unruly behavior, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Jia Zheng sighed and said, "What should we do next? All the money in the mansion has been confiscated. Now it is difficult to maintain here."

Jia Rong said, "Of course they should be sent back home. There is room for them in their hometown. The old lady cannot go back to Jinling for the time being. Let the mistress and the first mistress take Baoyu back first. If they continue to stay in the capital, there will be no next time."

Jia Zheng sighed and said, "It's the only way. I can't afford to support so many maids and servants when I go home."

The old lady said, "Brother Rong, can you take in some people?"

Jia Rong said calmly, "Forget about those with families. To be honest, the Rong Mansion has survived to this day because no one in the mansion has been wronged."

The old lady raised her head and closed her eyes for more than ten seconds before looking at Jia Rong again. "The mansion is full of house-born children and servants. Take any one you like. It's better to have them follow you than to be alone."

Jia Rong smiled and said, "I remember that Lai's family still has quite a bit of money. If you give me his indenture, then his family's money will be mine, right?"

As soon as Jia Rong said this, Lai Da and Lai Ma quickly became frightened.

Lai Da knelt on the ground, "Master Rong, please spare my life! I have offended you many times before, but it was all because of my own will and I was following your orders!"

Lai Ma didn't say anything, so the old lady said, "Rong'er, why are you fussing over him? He has been loyal to me over the years, so just let him go for my sake."

Jia Rong smiled and said, "I don't mind. We won't see each other anymore anyway. But I know how to get to his big house and garden."

Lai Ma knew that Jia Rong hated her son, so she pleaded, "Master Rong, we are willing to pay one thousand taels to free him!"

Jia Rong sneered, "It's nice to be under a big tree. You are the richest person in the whole Rongguo Mansion. Now that the tree has fallen, the monkeys have scattered. You are thinking about freedom, right? I want to see how you can continue to gain a foothold in the capital!"

Grandmother Jia frowned, sensing something was wrong.

Mrs. Wang, Jia Zheng, Wang Xifeng and others were also looking at this side.

Jia Lian asked, "Rong'er, what's going on?"

Jia Rong smiled and said, "It's okay. Your master is weak and the slaves are strong. The slaves are powerful and bully their masters. The Lai family has enriched themselves over the years, using the name of the Jia family to do things and collect money. They emptied the Jia Mansion and built a small Jia Mansion for themselves."

"It's not just everyone's fault. There aren't many honest people in your family. This time we've lost our land and property. If we go back to our hometown, the thousand acres of land won't be enough to support a group of people. Each of you only needs to bring two slaves with you, and the rest of you have to find a way to make a living."

"I will take care of this kind of worm that Lai Dajia is talking about."

Lai Da was so frightened that he kowtowed hurriedly, "Grandpa, please spare me! I deserve to die! I deserve to die! Grandpa, please spare me!"

Jia Rong jumped up from the chair and kicked the middle-aged man three meters high!
Everyone was frightened.

Lai Da soon fell to the ground with blood spitting out of his mouth, and was half dead.

Everyone had a clear and profound understanding of why Jia Baoyu and Xue Pan were so afraid of Jia Rong.

"My son!" Nanny Lai shouted loudly and hurried over to see Lai Da.

However, when Nanny Lai passed by, Jia Rong kicked her in the back.

"Bah! Why are you pretending to be a good person?"

Lai Da may not be a good person, but in the eyes of Jia's mother, Jia Zheng, Wang Furen and Xing Furen, Jia Rong's evil is fully displayed! !
The old lady stood up in shock, "Stop!"

Jia Rong did stop and squatted down with his hands on his knees.

"Madam Lai, the people in Rong Mansion have no money to go home. You don't want your daughter-in-law and family members to be sold to a bad place by me, right? Do you want to take the money and report that you are safe, and continue to follow the old lady in the future, or do you want me to continue to be a bad guy and help you shake out all your family assets?"

Nanny Lai just fell to the ground and said quickly, "Master, spare our lives! Please let my son and his family go. We are willing to pay 10,000 taels to apologize!"

Jia Rong said, "What about the house? Your house and the hidden things together, can you come up with 20,000 or 30,000? Don't think your grandson can run away. I have plenty of ways to make him spit out the money."

Lai Daqiang held his breath, his mouth full of blood as he said: "Thirty thousand... Thirty thousand taels..."

Jia Rong stood up and said, "Okay! Bring me thirty thousand taels for the journey, and I will forgive you. What was stolen was not mine anyway."

Jia Rong looked at the old lady and said, "With 30,000 taels, not only will we have the money to pay for the travel expenses of the seven or eight hundred people in Rong Mansion, but we will also have food, clothing, shelter, transportation and heating for those who stay behind."

"Old lady, do you think I have gone too far?"

The old lady's face was gloomy. When she heard that a servant could come up with 30,000 taels, she no longer had any sympathy.

"Good job!" the old lady scolded, "This kind of traitorous dog slave should be beaten to death!"
