The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

Qin Keqing's identity is already semi-public. If something were to happen to her at the Ning Mansion, the consequences would be unimaginable. The royal family would never allow such a subject to exist.

Thinking of the terrifying parts, I couldn't help but shudder.

"Sir, there's no need to worry too much!"

Seeing that the time was right, Jia Huan finally got to the point: "I know that this matter absolutely cannot be related to the old lady, so I beat Granny Lai to death immediately!"

Master Zheng nodded subconsciously, quite satisfied with Jia Huan's actions.

As for Granny Lai's old life, they didn't care at all.

"The Ning family's affairs will be exposed sooner or later, so we might as well take the initiative to publicize them!"

Jia Huan said coldly, "Tell me about this matter. It was Granny Lai's private act, and her purpose was to help her second son, Lai Er, regain his position as the Grand Steward of the Ning Mansion!"

This reason wasn't something he made up; he got it out of Lai Er through questioning.

"As for Zhen-ge'er, he was deceived by Granny Lai and thought he had the support of the Rong family, so he launched a surprise attack to try to regain his status as the head of the family!"

This reason, when presented publicly, is actually more likely to be believed.

The drama of wealthy families vying for power is a classic trope in both storybooks and novels. But perhaps the upheaval that occurred in the Ning family wasn't dramatic or exciting enough?

The Second Master nodded slightly, feeling that this was the only way for the time being; what else could he do?

But Jia Huan's subsequent tongue-locking made him lose his composure.

"Master, the Lai family absolutely cannot be allowed to live!"

Jia Huan said coldly, "I killed Granny Lai, and Lai Er is crippled. If Lai Da knew, he would go crazy!"

"If we don't act now, the consequences could be dire!"

Master Zheng hesitated, then subconsciously said, "I'm afraid the old lady will be unhappy!"

Jia Huan was speechless!

This is what blind filial piety is!

Fortunately, he was prepared, otherwise it would not have been easy to completely persuade the Second Master Zheng.

Even if this matter involves scheming against the royal family, it could bring about one's own annihilation!

After all, it was aimed at his mother, who had been filial to him for many years, even though he was only her most trusted confidant.

But the subconscious resistance in my heart is just so natural.

The Second Master Zheng blushed slightly, realizing he had said the wrong thing.

But he really didn't want to have any major conflicts with his mother!

"Master, this isn't just a matter of whether you want to or not. It also involves the eldest master and Second Brother Lian. They'll probably be arriving soon!"

Jia Huan nodded slightly and said slowly, "If both the Master and Second Brother Lian feel it is not advisable to take immediate action against the Lai family, then let's postpone it for now!"

"You also invited the eldest son and Lian'er?"

The Second Master Zheng was quite surprised, but he quickly recovered and nodded, saying, "Indeed, we should tell them and ask for their opinion!"

He's slow to react to anything, but he has one good point: he has a decent temper and is usually willing to listen to the correct opinions of his juniors, which is especially rare.

If it were Master She, and Jia Huan dared to act like that, he would probably have already slapped him across the face.

Just then, Jia Qiang brought in Master She and Jia Lian, who was still wearing his official robes.

"Oh, the second brother's here too. Looks like something big has happened!"

Master She spoke up casually, "Brother Huan, why are you in such a hurry to invite me over? What happened? Tell me quickly!"

At this point, he revealed a knowing smile: "Uncle has other things to attend to!"

This is truly disrespectful to elders!

Master Zheng couldn't help but frown, while Jia Lian could only manage a helpless, bitter smile.

Jia Qiang tried her best to make herself appear inconspicuous, shrinking into a corner and making almost no sound.

"Brother, what happened at the Ning family this time is indeed quite serious!"

Master Zheng stood up and said, "You need to be prepared!"

As for Jia Lian, he simply nodded as a greeting.

Jia Huan stood up at the same time and said slowly, "Uncle, Second Brother Lian, we need to consult you about what happened at the Ning Mansion. Here's what happened..."

Without wasting any words, he recounted the astonishing events that had occurred in the Ning family in the simplest way possible.

Even so, Master She and Jia Lian were stunned, their eyes wide open, speechless for a long time, taken aback by the sudden major event in the Ning Mansion.

"Zhen-ge'er is courting death!"

When Lord She finally realized what was happening, the first thing he mentioned was Jia Zhen.

"Things have gotten complicated, and it's not going to end well!"

Jia Lian's face turned pale; he never expected such a thing to happen.

"Uncle, Father and I have already figured out how to handle this!"

Ignoring their shock, Jia Huan decisively explained the concluding details, which had received the support of Master Zheng, and concluded by saying, "As for Brother Zhen, it would be best to handle it at a clan meeting!"

At this moment, Master She's expression was solemn. After listening to Jia Huan's introduction, he remained silent for a moment and then nodded in approval.

His mind was still buzzing, and he couldn't think of a better way to handle it.

Killing Jia Zhen directly would be simple, but there would be too many troubles afterward. It wouldn't be easy to get past either the clan or his mother.

But what Jia Zhen did is truly intolerable!

Jia Lian remained expressionless, but in his heart he thought Jia Huan's idea was quite good, as long as he didn't get involved.

He was already quite exhausted from working in the Ministry of Revenue, and he also had to deal with family affairs. If this continued, he might die young.

Besides, the Ning family's opinion should prevail in this matter!

He certainly knew where the biggest trouble lay, so naturally he wouldn't proactively invite trouble upon himself.

After all, he had served as a government official in Beijing for several years, and his vision and abilities had been greatly enhanced.

After a little thought, he roughly understood Jia Huan's true intentions in inviting him and the master over.

I wanted to ignore it, but I didn't know how to say anything.

This matter concerns the important affairs of the Ning and Rong mansions. If he dares to back down, he will likely lose all say in the future, and it's even uncertain whether he will even be qualified to participate.

"Uncle, I have another difficult matter to discuss!"

Jia Huan chuckled as he revealed his thoughts that the Lai family should not be let off easily after Granny Lai was beaten to death.

Ignoring the changes in the expressions of Master She and Jia Lian, he continued, "What I mean is, before Lai Da can react, we should act immediately and confiscate the Lai family's property!"

"Alright, I've disliked Lai Da for a long time!"

Master She immediately agreed, shouting, "He's just a servant boy, yet he acts all high and mighty in the mansion. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was the master of the mansion!"

These words were harsh, and Master Zheng's expression immediately changed.

Jia Huan spoke up at the opportune moment: "Uncle is right, I've also disliked Lai Da for a long time!"

"I don't know where this trend came from, but when the younger generation in the manor sees Lai Da, they all have to respectfully call him 'Grandpa Lai,' and this guy even seems to accept it without a second thought!"

Upon hearing this, both Master She and Master Zheng's expressions changed, while Jia Lian's face had already darkened.

Damn it, Lai Da is courting death.

The younger generation in the manor have to call him 'Grandpa,' so should the two masters also call him 'Uncle'?

Jia Lian already knew about this, but he wasn't confident in dealing with Lai Da, so he could only avoid seeing it and worrying about it.

At this point, seeing that Jia Huan had brought up the matter directly, it seemed he was determined to destroy the other party.

Otherwise, if the news gets out, Lai Da will definitely not let Jia Huan off easily.

With Lai Da's years of management in the Rong Mansion, Jia Huan is probably no match for him!

"The Lai family must be wiped out, or I won't stand for it!"

Master She's face turned ashen. He kicked the stool in front of him away and shouted angrily.

The Second Master Zheng did not speak, but his sharp gaze said it all.

"Huan-ge, what's bothering you? Tell me!"

Jia Lian knew how to get to the point and asked directly, "I believe you invited the master and me here not just to complain, but that would be too boring!"

Sure enough, after Jia Lian became an official and went through trials and tribulations, his abilities improved dramatically.

The eyes of Master She and Master Zheng turned to look at them simultaneously.

Of course, the Second Master Zheng's expression was very complicated, but he did not say anything to stop him.

"Is such that!"

Jia Huan said directly, "Isn't Lai Da the old lady's absolute confidant? I'm afraid that targeting the Lai family will arouse the old lady's strong dissatisfaction, and it will be difficult to handle if things get out of hand!"
