The world in her eyes is all about the Rong family and things related to the Rong family. Isn't she just clinging to the Rong family?

"Stop dreaming about such a good thing. Don't you even ask your wife if she agrees?"

He could only bring up Madam Wang's excuse: "Madam didn't want me to benefit from her position, so even before Consort Yuan gave birth, I had to leave the mansion and become a member of a collateral branch!"

"Then, then, I'll go tell the master!"

Aunt Zhao was taken aback, but quickly realized what she meant and said unhappily, "This is going too far!"

"What's wrong with that?"

Jia Huan chuckled and said, "I just came from the main study. Master told me to behave myself outside!"

"Is this... an attempt to kick you out?"

Aunt Zhao started crying again, cursing loudly, "They're all scoundrels, not a single one of them is good!"

Ha ha……

Jia Huan put in a lot of effort and finally managed to persuade Aunt Zhao to stay, promising to visit her every three days and, if possible, to take her out of the mansion.

Such a good thing is beyond question.

Not only would Master Zheng not agree, but even Madam Wang would never agree!

The logic is simple: if Aunt Zhao is around, she can still seduce Master Zheng. But if Aunt Zhao is gone, who knows which little vixen's scheme Master Zheng will fall for next?

What will Mrs. Wang do then? Having another sister? It feels disgusting.

If she isn't properly settled, it will significantly damage her reputation; that's just how the world is these days.

It would be better to let Aunt Zhao seduce Master Zheng, which would save Madam Wang a lot of trouble.

This is something Jia Huan has only recently figured out.

Therefore, it seems highly unlikely that Aunt Zhao can be taken out of the Rong Mansion at present.

In addition, Aunt Zhao herself might not be willing. She has become accustomed to life in the Rong Mansion and may not be willing to leave the mansion to live a 'hard life' with Jia Huan.

There are some things that Jia Huan will not easily tell the truth about until they are completely settled.

Aunt Zhao is quite the gossip. If she were to spread the word, Jia Huan would likely face many obstacles if he wanted to leave the mansion smoothly. Why bother?

Once Aunt Zhao gets a little older, we can try to persuade her to leave the mansion; there shouldn't be much resistance then.

Three days later, Qin Keqing and Jia Qiang arrived, and even the two clan elders, Jia Dairu and Jia Daixiu, were invited.

With the eldest master of the She family observing, and the second master of the Zheng family presiding, with the old lady and Lady Wang as witnesses, it was decided in Rongxi Hall that Jia Huan, the second son of the concubine, should leave the mansion and live separately.

The atmosphere was rather strange, but Jia Huan didn't mind and successfully completed the ceremony.

Lady Wang was not too harsh. According to the rules, she gave him two small shops in the capital, a small courtyard house, and a thousand taels of silver to leave the mansion.

Jia Huan said nothing, calmly accepted the contract, and removed his name from the Rong family's genealogy.

The atmosphere in Rongxi Hall was quite strange!

Seeing Jia Huan turn and leave, everyone present had different thoughts.

The old lady's eyes were full of indifference, as if she had done something insignificant and didn't care at all. She then told Yuanyang to return to Rongqing Hall.

In fact, she really didn't take Jia Huan seriously!

A son of a concubine from the second wife, he just left the mansion, does he think he can turn the world upside down?

A smug smile played on Madam Wang's lips, her eyes filled with barely concealed disdain. She wished Jia Huan would disappear from her sight immediately, never to appear before her again.

Her thoughts were the simplest: she wanted to benefit from Consort Yuan's influence? Dream on!

You're just an illegitimate son, yet you have a much bigger reputation outside than Baoyu. What are you trying to do?

The Second Master Zheng was rather helpless, and had no choice but to accept the current situation.

Lord She, indifferent to matters that did not concern him, suddenly thought of Jia Cong, a son of a concubine, from Jia Huan's case. He wondered if he should also expel him from the General's Mansion.

Little did he know that Jia Cong had already harbored such thoughts!

Jia Dairu's eyes flickered. Seeing that Jia Huan had lost the protection of the Rong Mansion, he wanted to take advantage of his seniority to seize control of the clan school, but he couldn't make up his mind for the time being.

In particular, he both admired and feared the several unsuccessful candidates who were stationed at the clan school, and was very worried that unrest would occur at the clan school, thereby affecting his grandson's future in the imperial examinations.

Jia Rui performed exceptionally well this year and has already passed the imperial examination, earning the title of Xiucai!

This is both Jia Dairu's pride and his constraint!

He knew that if his grandson wanted to advance further in the imperial examinations, the failed scholars invited by the clan school must not leave; other paths to advancement were simply beyond his grandson's wildest dreams.

As for Jia Daixiu, it seems rather inexplicable.

Of course, Madam Wang gave him some benefits in private, which he accepted without any guilt.

He was just a concubine's son; he didn't care about him at all.

Qin Keqing and Jia Qiang were overjoyed and eager to leave to find Jia Huan and cultivate a personal relationship with him.

This time, they were completely relieved, and even had some other ideas.

Jia Huan was completely unaware of any of this; he casually walked towards the gate.

There was nothing to pack, and they refused Aunt Zhao's offer to send the person away. It wasn't a matter of life and death, and they would come back to visit every few days.

Of course, that refers to his situation in the capital. If he were not in the capital, then there would be no way to help him.

The servants in the Rong Mansion remained as leisurely as ever.

It looks like there are people coming and going and the place is very busy, but it's just for show.

The mansion was enormous, with fewer than twenty core members, yet it was served by thousands of people. The waste of human resources involved was unimaginable.

The Rong Mansion is still a big leaky sieve; the news of Jia Huan's expulsion from the mansion today has already spread far and wide.

Therefore, the servants he encountered on the road were all arrogant and didn't even bother to give him a second glance. They simply ignored him, which was very much in line with the behavior of these servants.

Jia Huan naturally wouldn't be angry; there was no need for it.

Halfway there, Jia Cong had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing him, he asked, "Nothing went wrong, right?"

Seeing Jia Huan nod, he couldn't help but mutter with a gloomy expression, "I don't know what the old lady and the second madam are thinking, forcing you to leave the manor and be removed from the register at this time!"

"Who cares what they think? It's a mutual agreement, and everyone's happy!"

Jia Huan laughed heartily, feeling an indescribable sense of ease and comfort.

"I want to leave the manor too!"

Jia Cong suddenly blurted out, "Living in the General's Mansion is becoming increasingly uncomfortable. It would be better to stay at the martial arts school permanently, which would save some trouble!"

"If that's really what you think, I'll help you with it, and you'll have results soon!"

Seeing that Jia Cong's resolute expression was genuine, Jia Huan chuckled and said, "These are all minor matters!"

"That's good!"

Jia Cong breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole demeanor became much brighter and lighter.

Tsk, Master She is really something, turning a blind eye to a grown man like Jia Cong.

Perhaps he doesn't care at all, as long as Cong-ge'er is still alive?

The two brothers quickly arrived at the side gate and sensed that something was off.

There were at least five or six strong servants and guards standing at the side gate, holding wooden sticks and other weapons, looking tense and ready to fight at any moment.

Could it be that someone dares to come to our door and provoke us?

Unbeknownst to Jia Huan, a smug smile played on Jia Cong's lips beside him.

As they stepped outside, a dozen strong and imposing martial arts masters bowed and clasped their hands in unison, saying, "Master Huan!"

At that moment, the air at the corner gate almost froze!

Jia Huan chuckled softly, glanced at the horrified gatekeeper and Jia Cong beside him, whose face was full of self-satisfaction, patted the fellow on the shoulder, and said leisurely, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness!"

After saying that, he boarded the luxurious carriage brought by the martial arts masters and left under their escort.

This scene was unbelievable, not only to the Rong family servants guarding the side gate, but also to passersby.

Especially the servants guarding the gate, they knew that today was the day Jia Huan was to be removed from the household register.

I originally thought that this illegitimate son of the second wife would leave Rong Mansion like a stray dog, dejected and crestfallen.

Who knew this would happen!

It feels as if Jia Huan has escaped his cage and is now free to roam the world, making the Rong Mansion seem somewhat insignificant in comparison.

Watching the luxurious carriage, surrounded by numerous martial arts masters, depart, the gatekeepers exchanged bewildered glances, feeling a sense of unease.

As for the passersby, they all knew Jia Huan.

Isn't this Third Master Huan of the Rong Mansion usually known for his low-key demeanor?

Why did this happen at the side gate of Rong Mansion today?
