After everyone left, he stayed on the estate, and recently he has been staying there most of the time.

With Master She moving out of the Rong Mansion, Jia Lian and his wife Wang Xifeng moved to the East Courtyard. This caused quite a stir within the Rong Mansion, and he didn't want to be implicated.

Second Madam Wang seemed to feel that Wang Xifeng's actions were getting out of control, so she suddenly became more frequent, as if she wanted to take control of the internal affairs.

Wang Xifeng was no pushover; she had the support of an old lady behind her and was constantly battling with her own aunt.

However, being pregnant, she was physically and mentally exhausted, putting her at a significant disadvantage in the struggle. Once, in a fit of anger, she almost caused harm to the baby in her womb.

This really startled Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian!

Jia Lian was no good; he secretly went to Jia Huan's residence to ask for advice.

Jia Huan, somewhat impatient, retorted directly, "Just mention whatever Madam Wang is most afraid of."

If you ask what Madam Wang is most afraid of, it's definitely not being able to stay in the Rong Mansion and use its resources to do her thing. Isn't that simple?

However, Jia Lian felt that it was only right for Lady Wang to stay in the Rong Mansion!

What else can Jia Huan say? You're not even good enough yourself, how can you expect others to help you?

In the end, it was Lord She, who was from outside the city, who intervened. Perhaps worried that something might have happened to his grandson, he wrote a letter to both the old lady and Jia Lian.

The letter was very simple; it simply raised the issue of the two families dividing their property.

This directly hit the old lady's weak spot, making it impossible for her to remain calm and collected.

Jia Lian then realized what was happening and mustered the courage to mention it to the old lady, only to be met with a severe scolding. She then turned around and reprimanded Lady Wang, but Wang Xifeng still firmly held onto control of the household affairs.

That's why people say Wang Xifeng was a fool.

With the old lady offering such strong support, there's no need to worry about losing control of the household affairs.

But she just wouldn't let go, and kept busy all day long, ignoring the old lady's advice to take good care of her health, and her energy and spirit quickly declined.

Later, he even fell slightly ill. When the imperial physician Wang, whom they had invited, took a look at him, his expression immediately became very serious.

This person made it very clear that Wang Xifeng must rest well and not overwork herself, otherwise the child in her womb might be in danger of being lost.

As soon as Physician Wang left, Jia Lian almost exploded, thinking he couldn't let Wang Xifeng continue to work so hard.

Wang Xifeng refused, even arguing that she loved the wonderful feeling of wielding power and that no amount of persuasion could change her mind.

Cow ratio!

Upon hearing this, Jia Huan could only lament that Wang Xifeng was born in the wrong era.

If she lived in modern times, she would definitely be a domineering female CEO, and perhaps that's how she could become a representative of women.

Unfortunately, this is the era of feudal imperial power; you're going to run into trouble if you play like this.

When Jia Lian came over with a bitter expression to complain, Jia Huan, for the sake of good fortune, gave him some advice, telling him to talk to Lord She, who was out of the city, and that it might have an effect!

Chapter 263 Accident (please subscribe)

Perhaps it was because he had moved away from the Rong Mansion, but Master She seemed to be living a rather unrestrained life on the estate outside the city.

As a junior member of the family, Jia Huan has been frequently visiting the farm outside the city lately, so it was natural for me to go and check on him.

The estate where Master She retired was considered his own property.

It's not small; it's about 500 acres, nestled against the mountains and beside the water.

As Jia Huan entered, a sudden, very dangerous feeling arose in his heart, but it disappeared after a very short time.

A chill ran down his spine as he instantly realized that a master was guarding this manor!

Just as Jia Huan had guessed, Master She possessed a hidden power.

Needless to say, this estate must have been one of the bases for arranging certain personnel.

He pretended not to notice and followed the servant beside Master She inside.

The environment inside the village was no different from that of any other village.

The layout was just okay, and the management was alright too; at least it didn't feel dirty or chaotic.

Master She's retirement residence was a three-courtyard house located near the center of the estate.

Unexpectedly, Madam Xing was waiting at the door, accompanied by a beautiful young woman.

"Madam, you're too kind. You're making me feel uneasy!"

Jia Huan hurriedly went to greet her, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Greetings, Madam. And who is this?"

The girl's clothes and demeanor didn't seem like those of a maid in the manor.

"This is my niece, Xiuyan, from my maternal family!"

Madam Xing smiled and pointed at Jia Huanchong, saying to the young girl, "This is Huan-ge'er from the second branch of the Rong family. Of course, he has already left the manor!"

So she's Madam Xing's niece!

Jia Huan and Xing Xiuyan exchanged greetings before following Madam Xing inside.

On the way, Madam Xing casually said a few words, and then she understood why she had been at the gate earlier.

It turns out that Xing Xiuyan had just arrived the day before yesterday, or rather, she had just come to seek refuge here.

Yesterday, Xing Xiuyan and her parents were tidying up their new house. Since the weather was nice today, Madam Xing planned to take Xing Xiuyan for a walk around the estate.

Judging from Madam Xing's rambling manner and her otherwise good spirits, she was clearly in a very cheerful mood.

It must have been that both of her younger brothers came to visit her, and seeing her relatives made her very happy!

This is not the Rong Mansion, nor the residence of a first-class general; it is merely a farm outside the city.

The rules and regulations were very lax, so Madam Xing naturally didn't feel embarrassed about having poor relatives come to her for help.

Different mindsets naturally lead to different moods!

Of course, it's absolutely impossible to get money out of her.

Jia Huan didn't arrive empty-handed; he brought with him produce from the farm, including beef, mutton, chicken, duck, fish, eggs, and fresh fruit.

They didn't know Xing Xiuyan and her family had come; they would bring them gifts later.

"Huan-ge'er's here! Come in and let's talk!"

Madam Xing led Jia Huan to where Master She was, then turned and left with her niece.

Master She's lazy voice rang out, and Jia Huan went straight in.

A sweet fragrance of rouge and face powder wafted over, and Master She was enjoying himself immensely, with two women on either side of him.

He showed no restraint when he saw Jia Huan, displaying a dissolute and unrestrained attitude. He was much more playful than when he was in the mansion. I wonder if his body can handle it.

To be honest, the relationship between the uncle and nephew was quite cold; they basically didn't communicate.

Jia Huan's visit was merely a formality. He asked about Master She's health, whether he was eating well, and whether he was comfortable with his accommodations. What else could they talk about? How to pick up girls?

Lord She, however, was quite unceremonious. While enjoying the gentle care of the beauty, he asked directly, "Where is Cong-ge? Why didn't he come?"

"My lord, Cong-ge'er is still on duty at the palace. He will definitely come to visit you when he has a day off!"

Jia Huan said slowly, "I've been busy with matters at the farm outside the city lately, so I came to visit you first!"

"Hmm, I always forgot to ask, how did Cong-ge'er acquire such martial arts skills?"

Master She's face flushed slightly as he hiccuped and asked, "Tell the truth, don't try to fool me!"

"My lord, it was the Ning family that provided the military legacy left behind by the late Duke Ning!"

Jia Huan didn't try to hide anything and said directly, "Because of the excessive expenditure, Cong-ge'er's cultivation progress has been somewhat slow recently!"

"You little rascal, don't try to fool me!"

Master She chuckled and said, "The Ning family is quite generous, and the Rong family also has a powerful martial arts lineage. Why didn't that kid come to ask for it?"

"We've already asked Brother Lian for it, but there's been no result!"

Jia Huan frankly stated, "In the end, we had no choice but to try and contact the Ning Mansion!"

"Hey, is this my fault?"

Master She scoffed, "How could such an important family heirloom be casually given away?"

Ha ha……

Jia Huan chuckled softly without saying a word; the subtle expression on his face said it all.

"Alright, kid, I guess you're too impatient to waste your breath on an old man like me!"

Master She waved his hand impatiently and said irritably, "If there's nothing else, don't come and bother me while I'm enjoying myself!"

"Oh, and if you need a skilled workforce, I can provide some!"

After saying that, he looked at Jia Huan with a smile and said smugly, "Don't think that I have no presence in the mansion. I still have some power!"

"I know you're not one to stay put, anyway, I have plenty of men to spare!"

"Then thank you very much, sir. I would be too kind as to refuse!"

Jia Huan chuckled, bowed respectfully, and turned to leave, thinking to himself that this visit was definitely worthwhile.

I never expected that Lord She would be so generous!
