The filial son of the Red Mansion

He withdrew his hand angrily and prepared to go outside to prove his innocence, when Wang Xifeng's voice came faintly again.

"My wrist is sore, please be gentle. If it hurts, you will be hurt."

"..."

baffling.

Jia Rong sat back in his original position, held Wang Xifeng's wrist and rubbed it gently.

This hand is very soft!

The car fell silent for a while. He asked, "Aunt, how does it feel?"

No one answered.

"Aunt?"

Silence is the quiet sound of the night. Only the sound of the carriage passing by is playing a faint song.

Fell asleep?

It was the first time that Jia Rong had seen someone who could fall asleep like this. Maybe Wang Xifeng was really tired and sleepy!

He gently held Wang Xifeng's hand, tapping his fingers to feel it, and his heart beat faster for no reason. In the dark carriage, there must be a voice in his heart tempting him to do evil. Unfortunately, Jia Rong did not have such a voice in his heart, but he did have a little impulse in his mind.

or?

Jia Rong slowly approached Wang Xifeng, thinking: Is this too vulgar?

"Why did you stop?" Wang Xifeng's voice suddenly sounded, startling him.

Jia Rong said, "I see my aunt is asleep."

Wang Xifeng yawned softly, hummed, and pulled her hand away, saying lazily, "I have been awake the whole time. Rub my shoulders again. I am exhausted by your East Mansion today."

"Oh!"

Fortunately, fortunately!

Jia Rong let out a long sigh.

Before we knew it, we arrived at Rongguo Mansion.

The two got off the car and watched Wang Xifeng being surrounded by the maids in Rongguo Mansion and getting into the sedan chair. Ping'er led the sedan chair slowly into Rongguo Mansion.

He looked at the side door that was gradually closing, and his heart was still a little touched. Thinking about it carefully, Wang Xifeng had really helped him do a lot of things since he traveled here. She helped him deliver Qin Keqing's portrait, borrowed the precious glass screen on the kang without asking for its return, and helped him at the wedding. Today, she was busy all night in Ningguo Mansion.

At worst, I won’t actively harm her in the future.

Jia Rong murmured, and beckoned Feng'er to come to the carriage. He felt his hands were a little cold and needed to warm them.

Wang Xifeng led Ping'er and other maids into Rongguo Mansion. She was the first to ask, "Did the Second Master visit the old lady today?"

Seeing the maid nod, she asked again: "What did the old lady and aunt say?"

Wang Xifeng's aunt is Lady Wang, Jia Zheng's legal wife. They are both from the Wang family. Wang Xifeng's father is Lady Wang's full brother. The head of Rongguo Mansion is Jia Zheng and his wife, the second wife. Because Wang Xifeng is Lady Wang's niece and niece-in-law, they asked Wang Xifeng to take care of the inner house of Rongguo Mansion.

"The old lady and the second wife said it would be a good idea to investigate, but they just told grandma not to make a big fuss."

Wang Xifeng was satisfied with the answer and felt that there would be something to do tomorrow. She walked quickly to the courtyard where she lived. When she reached the gate, she saw the maid acting furtively inside.

She also saw shadows swaying on the big window in the main room. A man and a woman were playing in her room.

Wang Xifeng frowned, and her aura of a demon rose from the ground. She glared at the maids in the courtyard and sneered, "Whoever dares to make a sound will be thrown into the well tonight."

All the maids were so frightened that they dared not even breathe, and looked anxiously at the shadow on the main window.

Wang Xifeng led Ping'er to the window and listened attentively.

Then he heard Jia Lian's voice.

"What are you worried about? Today I've tricked that Yaksha into helping me in the East Palace. He may not be able to come back tonight. We can still come three or four times!"

Wang Xifeng was so angry that she felt weak all over. It turned out that Jia Lian was not stupid, but deliberately sent her away so that he could have an affair with her. Feeling that she was being fooled and cheated on, Fengjie wanted to rush into the house and kill the adulterer.

Here, the sound of a woman's sweet laughter came from the room again.

"If he comes three or four more times, I'm afraid the Second Master won't be able to stand for a few days. Let me ask you to go back to the ceremonial gate to be on duty, so that the Second Madam won't come back and see him. The Second Master will be in trouble."

Jia Lian said, "Why would I be afraid of her? If she came back, I would definitely give this 'Yaksha Star' a good lesson. If it weren't for the sake of the Second Wife, I would have divorced her long ago."

The woman laughed and said, "I don't believe it. Second Master is bragging again. If you have such courage, how can Ping'er still be a virgin?"

Jia Lian gnashed his teeth and snorted, "She always keeps Ping'er by her side and gives her many instructions, not even letting me touch her with a finger. Ping'er feels wronged."

Wang Xifeng turned her head suddenly.

Ping'er was shocked and angry. What do you mean I feel wronged too? She shook her head repeatedly at Wang Xifeng, frightened by her look.

Wang Xifeng was so angry at this time that she glared at Ping'er and kicked the door open.

Jia Lian knew that Yaksha was not in the house, and he had drunk too much today, so he was hugging the gatekeeper Gao Le. He didn't expect to be caught by Wang Xifeng, and he was at a loss, and his legs couldn't help trembling. But the woman was so scared when she saw Wang Xifeng that she just wanted to get into the quilt.

Wang Xifeng would not let her hide, so she grabbed her hair and dragged her off the bed. She beat her and scolded her, "What an adulterous couple, you have come to your aunt's bed."

Seeing Jia Lian trying to run away with his clothes rolled up, he called out, "Ping'er, hold the door, and send someone to invite the old ancestor over so that he can judge the case."

There was no way Ping'er could stop Jia Lian from running away. In the blink of an eye, Jia Lian slipped out and there was another round of cursing in the room.

Jia Lian put on a few clothes in the yard, hid behind the lantern, and ran to the hanging flower gate, planning to sleep in the outer study. On the way, he saw a handsome boy, and remembered that he had been interrupted by Wang Xifeng and could not enjoy his good time, so he pulled the boy into the outer study.

Chapter 16: Jia Zhen's Death Is Near

From dawn to dusk, a lot of things always happen; from dusk to dawn, many changes always happen.

The changes in a person are most obvious, especially when waking up from sleep. As soon as Jia Rong opened his eyes, he saw Qin Keqing's shy expression beside him.

"The master is restless even when he is asleep!"

Jia Rong really couldn't refute it. Who knows what she did after falling asleep? It was all unconscious. He only knew one thing: men really couldn't stand seeing women in such a shy and charming state in the morning.

What's more, there is a delicate beauty next to him.

Qin Keqing obviously also felt this symptom. She hurriedly said, "I still have to go and pay my respects to the Madam."

Jia Rong also remembered that he had a lot of things to do today.

It’s a pity that I can’t exercise properly on such a nice morning.

Seeing his face full of regret, Qin Keqing smiled and consoled him, "Master, why are you so sad? Ke'er is your wife, and she stays in this room every night."

You are so right. Your own daughter-in-law is afraid of not having opportunities, while other people’s daughters-in-law are afraid of not having opportunities.

Jia Rong immediately became excited and pulled Keqing out of bed. He said, "We have to hurry up. We will go to the Madam to pay our respects and then have lunch. Then I will go to Tianxiang Tower and accompany you to pay your respects to Rongguo Mansion, and then go back to the Qin family to visit the master of the Qin family."

Today is the third day since their marriage. According to custom, they have to go back to the bride's parents' home, commonly known as returning to the parents' home or returning home.

Qin Keqing shook her head and said, "You don't have to go home today. You still have a lot of things to do in the mansion. Ke'er sent someone to send a letter back to the Qin family yesterday, telling them about the things in the mansion. After a few days, when the things in the mansion are done, you can accompany Ke'er to the Qin family again."

Ouch?

Qin Keqing always manages to give people surprises at these times.

What a lovely and wonderful person!

Jia Rong hugged Keqing and gave her a big kiss. If he wasn't so busy, he really wanted to love her hard right away.

What a sin, what a sin. Before getting married, I was still thinking about how to bury Qin Keqing in the future.

"Ke'er really has the demeanor of a mistress of the house. She will be able to manage the entire Ningguo Mansion well in the future." With just these simple words, he made Qin Keqing happy.

Qin Keqing said shyly, "I still have a lot to learn."

Qin Keqing has a lot to learn. She is too gentle and is not really suitable for being a housekeeper. However, people always grow through learning. Even Wang Xifeng is not born to be a powerful person.

Just as the two were chatting and laughing, a hurried voice came from outside.

"Auntie Pan fell into the river!"

Who?

Who fell into the river?

The sudden news caught Jia Rong off guard. He hurriedly took Qin Keqing, Feng'er, Ruizhu, Baozhu and others to the place where the accident happened. On the way, he learned that a maid saw a person floating on the river next to her when she came out of Tianxiang Tower this morning. When someone was asked to salvage the person, they found out that it was Aunt Pan, the concubine of Master Jia Zhen.

This is really strange.

Aunt Pan had just entered the mansion not long ago and had recently been favored by Jia Zhen. It was true that when Jia Zhen fell ill, she was right beside him. How could she have fallen into the river just one night later?

Did Youshi ask someone to do this? There was no need for Youshi to do this.

Is it really just an accident?

Jia Rong walked through the crowd and took a look. It was indeed Aunt Pan, Aunt Pan who had been swollen and white. He suppressed his nausea and looked carefully at Aunt Pan's hands. There was nothing in her hands, they were clean.

Although he had never studied criminal investigation, he knew that if she really fell into the river accidentally, there would definitely be mud under Aunt Pan's fingernails. Unless Aunt Pan jumped from a bridge or some place that was not close to the shore.

There aren't many bridges in Huifang Garden, and people were walking on them all night. Moreover, what was she, a concubine, doing in Huifang Garden at night?

Can't figure it out!

He asked the maid next to him, "Does the Madam know?"

The maid said, "The Madam is coming this way."

Jia Rong said, "Pack up, send someone to fetch a coffin, and place the body in the Dengxian Pavilion first. After all, she is the master's concubine, so she should be treated with the proper respect."

What an eventful time.

No, winter, winter is here.

Ningguo Mansion seems to be a little bit unusual, and it is necessary to obtain the invulnerable golden soft armor. Jia Rong made up his mind, but he couldn't figure out how to be insincerely praise "filial piety".

Is it that Youshi clearly thinks he is unfilial, but says he is filial?

So how can we make Youshi feel unfilial?

Abuse Yu-shi? Drive away the maidservants around Yu-shi, stop paying her monthly salary, and lock her up? If he really did such a thing, he would despise himself. If the West Mansion knew about it, wouldn't there be a huge uproar? Such a thing could not be concealed, and the worst thing would be that if it was reported to the palace, he would be charged with the crime of abusing his stepmother and being disobedient, which would be a terrible misfortune.

When Youshi arrived, he still had no idea. Looking closely at Youshi's expression, it really didn't seem like she had asked anyone to do it.

Who could that be?

Youshi said, "Let's keep her body for a day, and then find a place to bury her. This is the only dignity our Ning Mansion can give her."

Jia Rong knew that it was not Youshi who was indifferent, but that was the rule. It was the greatest favor to allow Aunt Pan to rest in Dengxian Pavilion. In a sense, the aunt was also a servant, not to mention an aunt without children.
