Red Mansion: After being expelled from the family, I was granted the title of Marquis of Mobei

Chapter 33 Just what you want
At this time, when Wang Ziteng heard that Jia Jue had sent someone to deliver a gift, he subconsciously wanted to have someone throw the gift away and drive the person away.

But Wang Ziteng changed his mind and felt that this was also an opportunity. After hesitating for a moment, Wang Ziteng said.

"Madam, who is the leader of the people sent by the Champion Marquis' Mansion? Call him in."

Mrs. Li agreed and then told the maid to call for help.

Not long after, a pretty maid walked into the side hall. If it wasn't Ping'er, then who else could it be?

Wang Ziteng and Li both knew Ping'er.

Ping'er came to the side hall, bowed, and said.

"Ping'er greets the master and the madam."

Wang Ziteng said with a little surprise.

"Ping'er, why is it you? Did the Marquis of Guanjun let you out? Where's your daughter? How is she doing in the Marquis's mansion?"

Ping'er said immediately after hearing this.

"Don't worry, Master. The Marquis treats the young lady very well and has never treated her harshly."

"This gift was also sent by someone arranged by the Marquis."

"Also, the Marquis said that he knew the Master might be feeling depressed these days, so he sent a letter to relieve the Master's urgent needs."

Ping'er handed the letter over after she finished speaking.

Wang Ziteng took the letter and took a look at it. After reading it, a trace of emotion appeared on his face. Then he looked at Ping'er and said.

"Ping'er, go back and report to the Marquis of Guanjun and tell him that I have read the letter."

"I understand what he means."

Ping'er nodded and said.

"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely convey the original words."

Ping'er then left the Wang family.

After Ping'er left, Wang Ziteng looked at the letter in his hand again, then smiled calmly and said.

"Interesting, interesting."

Li on the side said in confusion.

"Master, what's so interesting? The Champion Marquis just stole our relationship with the Rongguo Mansion."

"If you accept the gift from the Marquis of Guanjun now, the Rongguo Mansion will definitely have some ideas if this gets to their ears."

Wang Ziteng said calmly.

"What's wrong with having ideas? The Rongguo Mansion today is not the same as it was in the past."

"Our Wang family is not the Wang family of the past."

"Since when do we have to look at the Rongguo Mansion's face?"

"Xifeng is still in the Guanjun Marquis's mansion. If I don't accept the gift, and the Guanjun Marquis abuses Xifeng in the future, will the Rongguo Mansion be able to help me rescue her?"

Hearing this, Li was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say.

Previously, because Wang Xifeng had stabbed the Rongguo Mansion in the Qianqing Palace in order to protect herself, Wang Ziteng had specially gone to the Rongguo Mansion to explain. At that time, Wang Ziteng criticized Wang Xifeng's behavior in every way.

However, at this moment, Wang Ziteng actually said that he would consider Wang Xifeng's situation in the Guanjun Marquis' Mansion, which made Li really confused.

However, Li also understood that Wang Ziteng must have his own ideas.

So she didn't hesitate, but nodded and said.

"Master, you are right. That is not what I meant. I will arrange for someone to store the gift sent by the Champion Marquis."

Wang Ziteng said after smiling slightly.

"Okay, go ahead."

Then Wang Ziteng returned to the study with a smile and hummed a little tune happily.

The next day, in the bedroom of Old Lady Jia in Rongguo Mansion, Old Lady Jia was talking with Lady Wang.

Mrs. Wang looked at Old Lady Jia's serious expression and then said something to comfort her.

"Mother, you are still thinking about Yuanchun."

"There's still a day left. I think Jia Zhen will definitely give us an explanation. Let's wait a little longer. Don't worry too much." Old Mrs. Jia said after sighing.

"It really is like when it rains it pours."

"I haven't figured out what happened with Eunuch Dai yet, and now another incident has occurred. I really can't calm down."

Mrs. Wang asked curiously.

"Mom, what's wrong? What happened?"

Old Mrs. Jia said with great annoyance.

"Your second brother actually accepted the gift from the Champion Marquis' Mansion. What on earth was he thinking?"

Mrs. Wang was surprised when she heard this and said in astonishment.

"My second brother accepted a gift from the Champion Marquis. This, this is impossible."

Old Mrs. Jia said with certainty.

"Just yesterday, the servants of the Marquis Guanjun's Mansion delivered gifts to the Wang family without any concealment, and your second brother accepted the gifts directly."

"With a powerful enemy at hand, the Jia and Wang families have been relatives for many years and should be united against the enemy. Does your second brother do this because he has other motives?"

Mrs. Wang said after hesitating for a moment.

"No way, our two families are so close, how could my second brother have any other ideas?"

Old Mrs. Jia said with a sigh.

"It's hard to say. Our family has been in a period of transition over the years. After your second brother took over the position of Governor of the Beijing Camp, it's inevitable that he would have some other ideas."

Mrs. Wang said hurriedly.

"Don't worry, mother. It won't happen."

"Well, I'll go back later and see what's going on."

Mrs. Jia nodded slightly and said.

"Alright, have a good talk with your second brother and don't let him do anything that would only make his family sad and his enemies happy."

Just as the two were discussing things, in Ningguo Mansion, Jia Zhen went to Rongguo Mansion with a dejected look.

Not long after, all the members of the Jia family arrived at Rongxi Hall in Rongguo Mansion.

Old Lady Jia looked at Jia Zhen indifferently and said.

"Brother Zhen, since you're here, I guess the previous matter has come to an end. So, did we wrong you?"

Jia Zhen said with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Old lady, please don't say anything. You always blame me for not doing my job well."

"I did put thirty thousand taels of silver in the brocade box, but I never checked it again during the process."

"Who knew that the banknotes were tampered with? 29,000 taels of silver were taken away, leaving only 1,000 taels."

"I tortured every servant in the mansion who could get close to the study, but I couldn't find out who did it."

"Don't worry, I'll make up for this, including the ten thousand taels for handling the matter. I'll make up for the forty thousand taels."

"I've explained everything clearly to Eunuch Dai and even offered him an apology. He's calmed down now."

Jia She said angrily.

"Don't try to play tricks on me. What's the point of stealing money? It's just that you were blinded by money and delayed important family matters."

"You're still saying it was a servant who stole it. Who would believe that? Which servant would be so bold?"

After hearing this, Jia Zhen was so angry. It would be fine if others scolded me, but you dare to scold me.

You don't get more silver than I do.

Moreover, this time he only took out 10,000 taels of silver notes, but he had to take out so much silver, which was definitely a huge loss.

Although he was angry, Jia Zhen still wanted to explain. After all, he really didn't want to take the blame.

Just as Jia Zhen was about to speak, Old Lady Jia thought for a while and said.

"Brother Zhen, it seems that your house is not very clean."
