Under his strong intervention, the current situation of the Ning and Rong mansions is very different from that at the same time in the original story.

The Ning family, needless to say, restored the title of First-Class General in one fell swoop, which can definitely be considered as bringing glory to their ancestors.

On the Rong Mansion side, Master Zheng and Jia Lian were doing quite well in officialdom, managing to halt the Rong Mansion's decline. With Yuan Chun being made a concubine, the family even showed signs of returning to its former glory.

The fates of Jia Baoyu and the Twelve Beauties have all changed to varying degrees.

Jia Huan's cheat ability actually earned him over a thousand luck points.

However, once you get here, the rate at which your luck value increases becomes quite slow.

Given Jia Huan's status as an illegitimate son and the restrictions imposed by the household, it was highly unlikely that he would have had many opportunities to interact with Lin Daiyu and the Twelve Beauties.

Besides, he was quite annoyed by the fact that the three sisters would often start a poetry club during their gatherings.

That's true. Although he did a lot and indirectly helped many of the Twelve Beauties change their fate, the current situation is not enough to completely change their lives.

Unless he becomes the head of the Rong family, the fates of the other two of the three sisters, besides Xichun, will probably be similar to those in the original story.

Lin Daiyu's situation was similar. Given her personality and the Lin family's circumstances, she would face constant ups and downs no matter where she married. It wouldn't be easy for her to live a simple and easy life.

Unless you meet an exceptionally good man, is that even possible?

Xue Baochai is the most practical, but because of her background, it's estimated that she won't have an easy time finding a good husband.

Anyway, Jia Baoyu was not a good match, and the others were not clear about his specific character.

Who knows if the other party has designs on the Xue family because they've taken a liking to her?

If you want to continue gaining luck points, staying in the Rong Mansion won't get you anywhere.

It's better to jump out and try things out on your own sooner; you'll have a better chance of success then.

Putting everything else aside, getting rid of Sun Shaozu, that wolf in sheep's clothing, beforehand would be quite easy for Jia Huan.

Such an oddball as him is rare even in officialdom!

Even if someone has a bad temper, at most they would just neglect their original wife; there's absolutely no need to beat her to death. Such tyranny is quite rare.

This means the Rong family has completely fallen into ruin; otherwise, even if Jia Lian were utterly incompetent, he wouldn't have remained indifferent to this matter.

These are just his thoughts for now.

To successfully leave the mansion before adulthood requires a lot of effort!

As a result, before the emperor could even announce the 'Imperial Concubine's Visit Home,' Jia Huan received two invitations.

Unsurprisingly, one invitation was sent through Jia Baoyu, inviting him to a gathering of the madman's group, and incidentally introducing him to Liu Xianglian.

This guy is trying to be a peacemaker; he even got Jia Baoyu involved. It shows he's willing to go along with things, and he's really put in the effort.

However, it's impossible to get away with Liu Xianglian's affair without resorting to violence.

If we don't have a fight and let this guy experience the wonderful feeling of being suppressed, he'll think that there's really no one left in the gang, and it won't be realistic for him to have a proper conversation.

Right now, many powerful figures in the underworld in Beijing, along with their underlings, are waiting to see what happens.

Jia Huan felt that he was more than capable of beating Liu Xianglian, so why should he give this guy face?

Even if you have other ideas in mind, you have to fight a battle first before considering anything else.

The second invitation was a bit strange; the Ning family invited him to a plum blossom banquet to be held soon.

At that time, the Ning family will invite the old lady, Lady Wang, Lady Xing, the three sisters, Xue Baochai, and Lin Daiyu will also attend.

When the Ning Mansion invited Jia Huan, they naturally also invited Jia Cong.

Chapter 210 Who Do They Look Down On? (Please Subscribe)

Qin Keqing has been feeling rather troubled lately!

It wasn't that her husband Jia Rong's transformation into a mentally challenged person was exposed; such a thing was bound to come out sooner or later anyway.

When the news spread, it naturally caused a huge uproar, shaking the entire elite circle.

Even when the retired emperor heard the news, he sent an imperial physician to examine the patient, but the final result was still the same.

This matter has nothing to do with Qin Keqing; Jia Rong was beaten senseless by his father, Jia Zhen.

His duties as a member of the Imperial Guard had to be relinquished; the royal family also had to save face.

The Ning family quickly reached an agreement with some ambitious noble families, giving up all their positions and quotas in exchange for their help when recommending people in the future.

This is the foundation of the founding noble family. The duties of a fourth-rank Dragon Guard leader were traded away so easily, and even gained the approval of the current emperor.

Fortunately, Jia Rong successfully retained his first-class general's rank.

As long as Jia Rong lives, and the Ning Mansion has no other intentions, this title can remain on Jia Rong's head indefinitely.

The Ning family would naturally not take any action!

You have to understand that if the title were to be inherited by another person, not to mention other troubles, the mere fact that the title would be downgraded would be extremely difficult to accept.

Qin Keqing remained steadfast, firmly holding onto power within the Ning Mansion's inner court!

As long as Jia Rong's life is kept normal, she can maintain this status indefinitely.

Even the marital ceremony with Jia Rong was given to two carefully selected concubines and several maids who served her in the bedroom. She even hoped that Jia Rong could produce offspring, thus saving her a lot of trouble.

Qin Keqing and Jia Rong had virtually no affection for each other.

Even though Jia Rong later successfully inherited the title and remained obedient for a long time, and the couple's relationship improved somewhat, that was about it.

This guy is no honest man!

He was greatly influenced by his biological father, Jia Zhen, but he just didn't have Jia Zhen's guts.

When life in the Ning Mansion was going smoothly, Jia Rong's room was never short of beauties.

His treatment of Qin Keqing can only be described as 'treating each other with the utmost respect,' which is rather distant.

Right now, Jia Rong is dumbfounded, but Qin Keqing actually feels more relaxed and at ease, at least she doesn't feel uncomfortable anymore.

In fact, she knew that someone was instigating Jia Qiang to fight for the title and control of the Ning Mansion.

However, Jia Qiang was not affected and instead told Qin Keqing about these things.

Actually, everyone understands the principle; it's just a matter of whether they're willing to listen.

Jia Qiang then used Jia Huan's words to explain his thoughts: "With such a small population in the Ning Mansion, if they still want to fight amongst themselves, then they must be out of their minds!"

"What good would winning the battle do? At most, it would just mean being able to manage more affairs!"

"We're already overwhelmed with things outside, and now with things to do at home, how are we supposed to survive?"

"The key point is that in the end, the only ones who will benefit are the servants born into the family in the mansion, because the Ning family no longer has any trustworthy adult males, and it is even more impossible for them to let members of the collateral branches of the family take power!"

"If that's the case, then why bother with all the fuss? Wouldn't it be better to maintain the status quo?"

Jia Qiang wasn't stupid. Anyway, he was the head of the Ning Mansion's external affairs at the time. He not only represented the Ning Mansion, but also had access to most of the Ning Mansion's resources. How was that any different from being in charge himself?

On the contrary, if he doesn't inherit the title, he will have fewer social engagements and fewer troubles with family affairs.

Therefore, the situation in Ningfu is quite stable at present!

At least, neither Qin Keqing nor Jia Qiang had any intention of breaking the bond in the short term.

As long as the two of them don't fight amongst themselves, the Ning family won't descend into chaos, and it won't give anyone with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage.

Qin Keqing lived a relaxed and leisurely life!

But lately, for some reason, I keep having strange dreams.

In her dreams, she is a celestial fairy who is occasionally sent down to the mortal realm to undergo trials or complete certain missions.

That said, if a normal person frequently has such dreams, their mind is definitely not bad.

In fact, Qin Keqing was in a good mood at first, and even fantasized that the scene in her dream was real.

The problem is that lately, she keeps having a voice in her dreams telling her to invite Jia Baoyu to her home, as if something is about to happen.

The voice was indistinct, constantly implying that Jia Baoyu's background was extraordinary, and that as long as she accomplished this, she would naturally receive great benefits upon returning to the celestial realm.

At first, Qin Keqing just thought it was funny, but as time went on, she felt it was inappropriate.

Feeling uneasy, he carefully inquired about Jia Baoyu's situation but found nothing unusual.

Aside from being born with a precious jade in his mouth, he was also favored by the old lady from the neighboring household.

In any case, Qin Keqing didn't see any remarkable abilities in Jia Baoyu. On the contrary, he was an absolute playboy, only his gentle nature was rather rare.

Honestly, in Qin Keqing's opinion, Jia Baoyu's performance was far inferior to Jia Huan's, and even to Jia Cong's. She didn't know what made him so special.

But she kept hearing voices talking in her sleep, and after a while she got annoyed.

So, taking advantage of the blooming plum blossoms in Huifang Garden of Ning Mansion, a plum blossom banquet was held, inviting the women and younger members of Rong Mansion to come and play.

Based on her understanding of Jia Baoyu, even if she didn't actively invite him, he would still eagerly come to participate.

To avoid awkwardness, let's just invite Jia Huan and Jia Cong together.

Strangely enough, ever since she decided to hold a plum blossom banquet and invited the women and younger generation from the neighboring household, she has stopped having these strange dreams at night.

That's why she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Even a fool could tell there was something wrong here, but how could it be explained?
