Upon hearing that someone from the Embroidered Uniform Guard had arrived, Jia Lian was initially startled, but quickly realized what was going on.

I wasn't too worried, but I didn't expect Huan-ge to be so audacious.

Before he could explain the reason, the old lady's next words made him feel a little cold.

"Judging from this situation, it's obvious that Huan-ge'er has gotten into some serious trouble outside!"

"If there's no way to salvage the situation, then don't bother trying to smooth things over!"

"This wretched child, I don't know what wrong he did outside that made the Embroidered Uniform Guard come to our door in person, he's utterly despicable!"

Jia Lian's feelings could be described as a mixture of emotions.

The old lady hadn’t even figured out the specifics of the matter before she was already thinking of giving up on Huan Ge’er?

No matter what, he was the son of the second wife, the old lady's grandson.

I felt quite upset and had no interest in explaining to the old lady.

But his distraught appearance made the old lady think that Jia Lian was terrified, so she waved him away and told her to deal with the Jinyiwei people first.

As for Jia Huan, he knew this would happen!

I never expected that the Emperor would send someone from the Embroidered Uniform Guard to our door. Isn't this just a bluff?

Having given Aunt Zhao a heads-up beforehand, and also keeping her blood relative, Uncle Zhao Guoji, as a backup plan, they followed Rongqingtang's head maid, who was looking anxious, and slowly made their way to the front yard.

He naturally saw Jia Lian walking ahead, but the guy seemed to be having some mental issues, so Jia Huan didn't greet him.

After entering, he respectfully bowed and greeted the Second Master Zheng, and also smiled and nodded at the people from the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"You wretched child, what trouble have you gotten yourself into out there?"

When facing his own illegitimate son, Master Zheng was not so polite and directly reprimanded him.

If there hadn't been outsiders present, he would have made Jia Huan kneel down to receive punishment.

Jia Huan did not show any panic. He calmly replied, "Nothing serious happened. I just used firecrackers to scare that old censor who doesn't get along with you!"

Having done a 'good deed,' it's natural to let the Second Master Zheng know about it quickly. He doesn't want to play those extreme reversal tricks; they're pointless.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the Second Master Zheng's face stiffened, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

Before he could fully recover, the men from the Embroidered Uniform Guard stood up and said calmly, "Since Young Master Huan has admitted it himself, then come with us!"

He secretly admired the kid's audacity!

Of course, they had already figured out Jia Huan's background long ago.

It can only be said that heroes emerge from among the young!

With the emperor's instructions in mind, their attitude was naturally not too harsh.

Jia Huan smiled and nodded, then said leisurely, "Let's go!"

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the door, and the men from the Embroidered Uniform Guard hurriedly followed.

Jia Lian remained silent, watching them leave.

From afar, he looked like a spoiled young master, patrolling the streets with his servants and guards, creating a relaxed and lively atmosphere, without the slightest hint of tension or seriousness.

"What...what exactly is going on?"

Master Zheng was stunned for a long time. When he suddenly came to his senses, Jia Huan was nowhere to be seen.

The messenger from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, who had made him extremely uneasy, had also vanished without a trace. His expression immediately turned rather grim, and he opened his mouth as if to say something but did not know how to express himself.

He was still confused, his mind replaying Jia Huan's words over and over, his emotions fluctuating wildly and in a very complicated state.

"Second Uncle, stop asking! Hurry up and use your connections to get him out of trouble!"

Jia Lian hurriedly urged, "The prisons at the Embroidered Uniform Guard's place are no joke. If Huan-ge'er stays there for a day or two, he'll be ruined!"

Master Zheng exclaimed in surprise, grabbed Jia Lian's sleeve, and said urgently, "What exactly happened? You better explain it to me clearly!"

"Second Uncle, you were impeached by that veteran censor in court. After hearing the news, Huan-ge'er found an opportunity this afternoon to throw firecrackers into that guy's sedan chair. I heard that it scared him so much that he fainted!"

Jia Lian hurriedly explained, "I had already left the yamen when I heard the news!"

"The Emperor was furious upon hearing the news, otherwise the Embroidered Uniform Guard wouldn't have come knocking on his door!"

"Second Uncle, this matter cannot be delayed; we cannot let Huan-ge suffer a loss!"

To be honest, Jia Lian had a very good impression of Jia Huan at this time, and couldn't help but secretly praise him for being 'spirited'.

Everyone hopes their relatives will be supportive, and Jia Huan's performance is the best example!

If he is impeached or targeted in the future, having his brothers to stand up for him would be a great blessing!

"Is this... really true?"

The Second Master Zheng was struck dumb, and stood there motionless for a long time.

"Second Uncle, what's wrong...?"

Jia Lian was quite dissatisfied, but when he turned around, he was shocked.

The usually dignified Master Zheng Er's eyes were red-rimmed, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Was he moved?

To be honest, Jia Lian's nose was also a little sore at this moment.

"Let's go, let's hurry to the old lady's place, we must get Huan-ge'er out as soon as possible!"

Master Zheng was the first to react, wiping away his tears and beckoning Jia Lian to hurry towards Rongqing Hall, his emotions surging uncontrollably.

Jia Huan's behavior was indeed impulsive and reckless, but he was standing up for his father.

To say I wasn't moved would be a lie. Since my father, Jia Daishan, passed away, how long has it been since I've felt this kind of unconditional support from my family?

Even with his own mother, he was told to just bear with it this time.

Unexpectedly, Jia Huan, without making a sound, dared to throw firecrackers into that old scoundrel's sedan chair!

In his opinion, it was a good throw; it would have been even better if there had been a few more, to stop that old scoundrel from jumping around so much!

She practically ran into Rongqing Hall, startling the old lady and Madam Wang, who quickly got up to ask what had happened.

There were quite a few people in Rongqing Hall at this time. The three sisters and Lin Daiyu were all there, and even Xue Baochai was huddled in a corner.

Master She and Madam Xing also arrived, and Wang Xifeng was naturally present, creating a heavy and oppressive atmosphere.

Jia Baoyu sat upright beside the old lady. When he saw Master Zheng coming over, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, his little face tense and he didn't dare to move an inch.

"Master, has Huan-ge'er caused a big trouble outside? He should be taught a good lesson!"

Madam Wang spoke first, her face stern and cold: "When he returns, you must discipline him properly!"

"enough!"

Master Zheng's face was grim. He rudely interrupted Madam Wang and said irritably, "Huan-ge'er got into trouble this time because he stood up for me. Do you want me to kneel in the ancestral hall too?"

This is so embarrassing!

After hearing the Second Master Zheng's hoarse explanation, filled with complex emotions, the atmosphere in Rongqing Hall suddenly became extremely awkward.

The three young ladies, including Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, looked at each other, deeply moved.

The oldest among them, Xue Baochai, was only twelve or thirteen years old, so she naturally felt that Jia Huan's actions were very chivalrous, highlighting his swift and decisive revenge.

In short, they felt quite pleased, but dared not speak.

As for Master She, he narrowed his eyes at this moment, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Madam Xing and Wang Xifeng kept their eyes downcast, but a thought crossed their minds: "We didn't expect Huan-ge'er to be such a spirited person. We really misjudged him."

The truly awkward situation naturally belonged to the old lady and Madam Wang.

Especially Madam Wang, who was just eager to trick Jia Huan, ended up getting herself into trouble.

Master Zheng always followed the rules of Confucianism and treated his wife with courtesy. However, he never expected that his words would be interrupted so rudely this time.

He was both angry and furious, and naturally quite displeased with Jia Huan, the instigator.

He was thinking that when he had the chance in the future, he would definitely teach this kid a lesson.

As for the matter of the Second Master being humiliated in the court, she simply ignored it.

In her opinion, what happened outside had nothing to do with her. If Master Zheng had the ability, he could get revenge; if he didn't, he could blame her for being humiliated.

At this moment, she selectively forgot about Jia Baoyu, the phoenix egg.

Standing up for one's father sounds good, but it carries enormous risks, which Jia Baoyu could not afford.

Didn't see Jia Huan? He was taken away by the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He's definitely in deep trouble tonight.

The old lady was also embarrassed, but fortunately she didn't say anything, as everyone's attention was drawn to Madam Wang.

Feeling rather displeased, he glanced at Jia Lian with a subtle look in his eyes.

The things I said to Jia Lian before now seem quite inappropriate.

I doubt this kid would dare to spread it around, otherwise he'd be in for a world of trouble later.
