Anyone who understands Jia Baoyu's temperament knows that once something like this happens, there's basically no chance the Rong family will be doomed.
"Fortunately, this time, Brother Bao only had his eye on Jiang Yuhan!"
As he spoke, he gestured for Jiang Yuhan, who was huddled in the corner, to come forward and said calmly, "Just explain how you met Brother Bao, so that the old lady and the others won't misunderstand and hurt you!"
Jiang Yuhan's pretty face turned pale. She cleared her throat and, under the very unfriendly gazes of the old lady and Madam Wang, slowly recounted in great detail how she and Jia Baoyu met and became friends.
Anyway, the expressions on the faces of the old lady, Madam Wang, and Master Zheng were quite interesting.
From initial indifference to disbelief, then shock, and finally anger at their lack of ambition, it was as dramatic as a face-changing performance.
Even though I had heard it once before, listening to it again this time still felt incredibly melodramatic.
In the story, Jia Baoyu is definitely a simp!
Speaking of which, Jiang Yuhan was unlucky to have met Jia Baoyu.
Otherwise, he would still be a favorite of Prince Zhongshun's mansion, a famous actor on the stage who frequented the residences of powerful and wealthy people.
This time, he was truly implicated by Jia Baoyu.
Even the old lady and Madam Wang were embarrassed to distort the truth at this time.
After Jiang Yuhan finished explaining the situation briefly, Jia Huan asked directly, "What are your plans?"
"If possible, I'd like to buy a small estate outside the city and live a carefree life!"
Jiang Yuhan didn't hesitate and said directly, "I'm just not sure if you guys will give me a chance?"
This has made it very clear: his life or death is entirely in the hands of the Rong family.
Jiang Yuhan still had some courage. Although her face was pale, she stood up straight and had an aura of dignity that was impossible to ignore.
In comparison, Jia Baoyu, who was always dejected, was far inferior.
The old lady felt quite embarrassed at this moment. It turned out that Jia Baoyu was the one who had provoked this person first. She really didn't know what to say. Of course, most of her thoughts were still resentful that Jiang Yuhan was too seductive.
As for Madam Wang, although her face looked somewhat unpleasant, her eyes flashed with a cold light, clearly indicating that she had ill intentions towards Jiang Yuhan.
It's just that it's not appropriate to reveal it under the watchful eyes of everyone, little did they know that several people had already noticed the clues, but they just didn't say it out loud.
"Huan-ge'er, what do you think?"
The second master was quite disheartened and asked weakly, "It's best not to cause a big commotion, at least not to make too much of a fool of ourselves!"
"We can let go of that wretched boy Baoyu, but we absolutely cannot let him affect the ladies in the palace!"
After all, he had been in charge of the Court of State Ceremonial for quite some time, and even a blockhead would have become more cunning.
Lord Zheng was no fool; he naturally understood the current situation, and the most crucial factor was Consort Yuan in the palace.
"It's very simple!"
Jia Huan laughed and said, "Didn't Jiang Yuhan want to live in seclusion? Just buy him a small estate near the manor. Jiang Yuhan should have that much money, right?"
Jiang Yuhan nodded without saying a word. As a famous opera star, how could she possibly be short of money?
"Also, don't even think about getting rid of your citizenship before you get married and have children!"
Jia Huan said directly, "Hang it with the opera troupe that Rong Mansion supports for now, otherwise you won't have any peace of mind. You should understand that!"
Jiang Yuhan nodded; he naturally understood the intricacies involved.
However, it's unclear whether Jia Huan is trustworthy or not, so for now, this is the best we can do.
"Master, after all, Brother Bao and Jiang Yuhan haven't known each other for very long, so nothing must have happened yet!"
After arranging Jiang Yuhan's affairs, Jia Huan said to Master Zheng, "It would be best to ensure her personal safety, otherwise the rumors and gossip about Brother Bao will be difficult to quell!"
"After all, this man is a celebrity in the capital's elite circles, and his affair with Brother Bao is practically public knowledge. If something were to happen to him, people would definitely think that Brother Bao had a guilty conscience and killed him to cover it up!"
Master Zheng nodded repeatedly, saying, "You did a good job. You must protect this young man's safety!"
Even the old lady thought Jia Huan's idea was correct, as Jia Baoyu's reputation was the most important thing.
He glanced at Madam Wang subconsciously. She was an old and shrewd woman, so how could she not know that Jia Huan was referring to Madam Wang?
This person's actions can only be described as "brainless," and it's unclear what they're thinking.
Madam Wang looked somewhat embarrassed, though outsiders couldn't tell much of what was going on, she was clearly quite unwilling.
Just now, she did indeed have the idea of killing him to silence him!
He was just an actor; his death is no big deal.
But upon hearing Jia Huan's explanation that if the actor died under mysterious circumstances, it would easily lead outsiders to suspect Jia Baoyu, he immediately gave up the idea.
In addition, she understood the meaning behind Jia Huan's words.
Jia Baoyu and Jiang Yuhan hadn't known each other for long, so even if Jia Baoyu had some thoughts about them, he hadn't acted on them yet, which made things much easier.
Of course, it's impossible for her to say that she had no resentment towards Jia Baoyu.
First Qin Zhong, and now Jiang Yuhan. I really don't know what Jia Baoyu is thinking.
If we're talking about who was most prone to causing trouble in the Ning and Rong mansions, it would be Jia Zhen and his son Jia Rong from the Ning mansion.
But now that one is imprisoned and the other has become an idiot, surely that won't affect Jia Baoyu?
Once Jia Baoyu has a reputation for having a penchant for male lovers, his future marriage prospects are basically ruined. Which wealthy and powerful family would want to marry their daughter to him?
It can only be said that Jia Huan's suggestion was relatively prudent, at least for now.
"Jiang Yuhan, your matter has been resolved. Go outside and wait!"
At this moment, Jia Huan spoke up again, giving Jia Cong a look that signaled him to follow him out.
Master She's temper is much worse than Master Zheng's.
Who knows what irrational thing he might do if he sees Cong-ge'er there?
Without saying a word, Jia Cong bowed to the elders and took his leave, then left with Jiang Yuhan.
At this moment, Jia Baoyu looked up and gazed longingly over, as if he really wanted to leave with them.
Wow, you're still thinking about running away at this point? That's ridiculous.
The old lady also witnessed this scene, and felt quite distressed.
After Jia Cong and Jiang Yuhan left, she coldly said, "Tell me, Huan-ge'er, why did you go to Prince Zhongshun's mansion to cause trouble at the first opportunity? Do you know the consequences of doing so?"
"How dare you! You had the nerve to ask your father to go and bail them out right away!"

"Grandma, don't forget that Jiang Yuhan is a famous opera singer whom Prince Zhongshun greatly admires!"
Jia Huan replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "The Rong Mansion and the Prince Zhongshun's Mansion have always had conflicts..."
"What are you talking about?"
The old lady was displeased and interrupted Jia Huan, saying, "When did the manor ever have a conflict with Prince Zhongshun? Don't make enemies for the manor so easily!"
Jia Huan remained silent and turned to look at Master Zheng.
"Ahem, old lady, you've forgotten that your son was tasked with collecting the debts owed to the national treasury, which caused a great deal of trouble with Prince Zhongshun. They even had a conflict at the gate of the Prince's residence!"
"My son almost got beaten up, and Prince Zhongshun lost his title of Prince!"
"So what? It's been so long."
The old lady said dismissively, "Besides, with Yuan Chun's connection, how could Prince Zhongshun possibly continue to hold a grudge?"
You're awesome, you're generous, you're amazing!
"Prince Zhongshun certainly won't deliberately hold a grudge!"
Jia Huan said leisurely, "We can still give the master a good humiliation if we get the chance!"
"Prince Zhongshun doesn't have a good reputation. If you're humiliated by him, you can only accept your bad luck!"
"Given the master's temper, and knowing he's in the wrong, who knows how outrageous Prince Zhongshun might be? What if he takes advantage of us?"
"Believe it or not, as long as Prince Zhongshun guides things a little, the matter will naturally escalate to Consort Yuan in the palace, at least making her lose face!"
Jia Huan remained calm, but his tone was quite impassioned: "Knowing full well that if Prince Zhongshun finds out about Brother Bao and Jiang Yuhan's affair, these kinds of things might happen, how could I possibly remain composed?"
Upon hearing this, Master Zheng Er's face was filled with satisfaction, and even Master She Da's expression showed a rare hint of approval, with his gaze becoming much kinder.
As for Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, they nodded repeatedly in agreement.
The old lady and Madam Wang looked rather grim.
The old lady, in particular, looked at Jia Huan differently; she hadn't really thought that much about it before.
After all, I'm getting old and want to live a peaceful life. My first reaction to the younger generation who like to make a fuss is dislike, and I don't really care about the reasons.
Jia Huan didn't give her time to react and continued, "What I'm most worried about is that this is a conspiracy orchestrated by Prince Zhongshun. If that happens, the situation will be terrible!"
"Who knows what kind of plans this person has in mind?"
"And what price will the government have to pay to extricate itself from this matter smoothly?"
These words were so chilling that not only the eldest master She and the second master Zheng, but even the old lady felt a chill run from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and her whole body felt cold.
Imagine how serious the consequences would be if a powerful prince were to plot against them.
