The filial son of the Red Mansion

"Ahem, I heard there are a lot of bandits outside, so I decided to test the defenses of the mansion." Jia Rong shamelessly lied and waved his hand for everyone to disperse.

He was very interested in the "Hundred Steps of Divine Speed" and thought it was not a good idea to practice it in the inner house, so he went to Huifang Garden at night and climbed up and down and ran around.

the next morning,

Rong'er felt as if all his bones were about to break and he felt extremely sore. He lay in his room and refused to go anywhere. During this time, Jia Rong sent someone to deliver Yang's reply letter. Jia Rong was not in a hurry to deal with Yang.

He was also curious about the situation in Dizang Temple. He wanted to know whether the unlucky guy from yesterday was hiding anything. He would have to wait until the prostitute he sent came back to find out.

At this time, the prostitute that Jia Qiang had hired had arrived at Dizang Temple.

The abbot of Dizang Temple, Master Zhen, did not know their true identities. When she heard that they were here to pray for a child, she became very enthusiastic and asked about their situations, such as when they last had their period and when they last had sex. Then she counted with her fingers and gave them two dates, saying, "You have a predestined relationship with the Buddha today. If you bathe and chant sutras in front of the Bodhisattva for a night, you will be able to have a child."

Chapter 178: Harsh Punishment

After hearing the news from the prostitute, Jia Rong was surprised and asked, "Could there be another expert?"

Jia Qiang said, "Let's report it to the authorities. It would be the easiest way to have the county government investigate."

Jia Rong didn't think so. He said, "The man last time was the nephew of the abbot of Dizang Temple. Now that he is dead, there should be no other man in the temple. Uncle Lian should be arriving in the mansion in the next two days! When he comes back, let Yang take Uncle Lian to Dizang Temple and put on a good show there."

"What's the show?"

"My husband, at present... ahem, it's a good show. A good show to wipe out Yang and the group of nuns in Dizang Temple. These few days, ask a few smart people to take turns guarding outside Dizang Temple day and night to check if there are any men entering or leaving Dizang Temple. No, I'd better go there myself."

Yang and the people from Dizang Temple dared to set their sights on the Jia family, so having the government lock them up would actually be a good thing for them.

"That place is so dangerous..." Jia Qiang said anxiously, very worried about his safety.

"Don't worry, I will find a few smart servants to help outside. If all else fails, I will shout out my title of First-Class Guard and the title of Light Cavalry Commander. Who would dare to touch me?"

Uncle Rong is not afraid, and the mask is useless. He will pretend to be the guy who was buried last time and go to Dizang Temple to find out the details. Now he can walk a hundred steps, so he can escape even if something happens.

As he was thinking this, there was a commotion outside.

Jia Rong quickly called a servant to the outer study to question him.

The servant said, "It is said that Second Master Lian made a scene because Second Mistress took Yang back to the mansion without permission."

Jia Rong asked, "What's the fuss about?"

The servant said, "Second Master Lian said that Second Madam wanted to harm Yang's unborn child, so she went to pick him up. Second Madam was so angry that she refused to live in the west, and took Miss Ping'er to pack her clothes and things and go east. Madam therefore asked us to clear out the East Second Courtyard."

"They didn't fight, did they?" This was what Jia Rong was most concerned about.

Jia Lian's quarrel with Wang Xifeng was probably an accident of 'making a fake thing real and taking advantage of the situation', but if Wang Xifeng or Ping'er was hurt, he would definitely go to Jia Lian to ask for an explanation.

The servant said, "The ladies were present, so no one dared to make a move. When the quarrel started, our mistress sent someone to escort the Second Madam to the mansion. She should be in Tianxiang Tower now, but the Second Madam was upset and is not feeling well, so the mistress asked Steward Shi to invite Wang Gongfeng."

"Oh?" Jia Rong felt relieved for a moment, but after thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but admire Wang Xifeng's decisiveness.

This girl was more anxious than anyone else. As soon as Jia Lian returned home, she started to make trouble and took the opportunity to move to the east. Youshi was also involved. Youshi, who was not very talkative, probably played a big role.

Does Feng Lazi really want to harm Yang's fetus?

Probably not!

Jia Rong sent the servant away and fell into deep thought again.

Should I go to Huifang Garden now?

If the imperial physician Wang Jiren came, he would surely be able to diagnose that Wang Xifeng was pregnant. By then, it would certainly not be possible to hide it from the wives in the west.

go with.

I have to go. Don't I have any sense of responsibility? As long as I stand in front, even if the ladies know that Wang Xifeng is pregnant with my child, they cannot scold Wang Xifeng.

Jia Rong hurriedly told Brother Qiang to tell the two prostitutes not to go to Dizang Temple for the time being. He also had someone escort Jia Qiang out of the house, and then hurried back to the east courtyard of the inner house.

As expected, Qin Keqing led Feicui, Feng'er and others to Huifang Garden.

He casually called two maids in the yard to help him change his clothes, and then hurried to Huifang Garden.

At this time, Tianxiang Tower was in chaos.

Some cried, some persuaded.

Not only Li Wan, Youshi, Qin Keqing and others were around Wang Xifeng, but even Aunt Xue rushed to Tianxiang Tower after hearing the news.

As soon as Jia Rong arrived downstairs, he heard a noisy commotion inside, and saw from afar Lai Sheng's wife leading Wang Jiren from the direction of Ningxi Pavilion. He waited for a while before inviting Wang Jiren upstairs.

When the ladies and girls upstairs heard that Wang Gongfeng was about to come upstairs, they hurriedly hid with their maids.

Aunt Xue didn't care about what she was saying to Wang Xifeng, and hurriedly took Xiangling and other maids to hide in the next room. Youshi first let Qin Keqing, Feicui, Feng'er and others enter the clean room, and then hurriedly asked Ping'er to pull down the curtain, not wanting Wang Gongfeng to see Wang Xifeng's face.

Li Wan and Lin Daiyu didn't need anyone to remind them. They hid faster than anyone else with a few maids.

For a moment, Tianxiang Tower fell silent.

Jia Rong led Wang Jiren upstairs, where several maids were waiting. The maids led them into a large room, where a person was leaning on a couch, but the curtains were closed so it was unclear who was inside.

"Is it Mr. Wang who is here?" Wang Xifeng's voice came from behind the curtain.

The voice is full of energy!

Rong Ge'er raised his eyebrows.

Could it be that Sister Feng doesn't feel any discomfort at all?

This girl is playing tricks.

Rong Ge'er said, "It's the imperial physician Wang who's here. Please stretch out your hand so that the imperial physician can take your pulse."

Wang Xifeng was indeed pretending, and everything was a setup, and even this game was far from over. She stretched out her hands slowly from behind the curtain, and on some of her fingers she had two or three inch long nails, and on these nails there were gold silk flowers, which made her look extremely wealthy.

The old woman took a look and quickly covered Feng Jie'er's wrist with a handkerchief, then eagerly asked Wang Gongfeng to turn back and feel her pulse.

Jia Rong was very anxious, and so was Wang Xifeng behind the curtain. They were all waiting for a result.

"Grandma, have you been sleepy and weak recently?" Wang Jiren asked with a frown.

Jia Rong asked in confusion, "What did you say, sir?"

Wang Jiren smiled bitterly and said, "General, you are so nervous, but have you asked someone else to diagnose you before? This lady is overworked and has a pustular fetus. She just needs to rest more."

"Pneumatic tire?"

Jia Rong and Wang Xifeng exclaimed in disbelief.

Wang Jiren explained: "It is because the woman's body is tired, her seven emotions are depressed, her qi is stagnant and her blood is coagulated, and her Chong and Ren meridians are blocked. She may also have symptoms of pregnancy such as anorexia and preference for sour food, amenorrhea, and even nausea and vomiting. In fact, it is because her mind is too tense or she is too excited that she gets pregnant."

Lost, extremely lost.

Disappointed, extremely disappointed. Wang Xifeng couldn't help but tremble her hands, and she really didn't want to believe it.

Not pregnant?

"Offering?" She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't. All her previous joy was gone.

Wang Jiren said, "Don't worry, grandma. You will be well after taking the medicine according to the prescription for a while. You should work less in the future, and your wish will come true."

Jia Rong didn't know what to say for a moment, and sent Wang Jiren away with a wry smile.

Wang Xifeng was stunned. She had never thought that she was not pregnant. If she was pregnant, then her plan would be perfect. Not only could she find an excuse to move to the East Mansion and live there permanently, but the old lady and the first wife might not know that it was Rong Ge'er's child. Then she could still control the power of the inner house of the West Mansion.

What a pity! The timing was wrong.

“I didn’t expect this!”

Wang Xifeng was unusually depressed for a while. The power of being the head of the inner house of the West Palace might be hard to fight for in the future. Who would get the advantage in the future?

Li Wan, Daiyu, Youshi, Qin Keqing and others came over again.

Wang Xifeng's eyes first swept over Daiyu, thinking that this girl was too young and her body could be blown away by the wind. Even if Lin girl married Baoyu in the future, the second wife might not let her be the head of the household.

As for Yang, Wang Xifeng had never thought about it. Sister Feng glanced at Li Wan and thought to herself that in the end, the widow had gotten the upper hand.

Feng Jieer feels wronged.

If the child is not conceived, the power of the head of the West Mansion will also be lost. She is really unhappy now.

Aunt Xue came up to persuade her, but Sister Feng just nodded numbly.

After a while, Wang Xifeng approached Youshi and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you willing to let your younger sister live in Cong Lutang for a while?"

Everyone could feel Wang Xifeng's unhappiness. Qin Keqing didn't blame Fengjie for hiding her possible pregnancy. She sighed and said, "What's there to be reluctant about? Auntie can stay as long as she wants. If Cong Lutang gets bored, she can also live in the front yard."

Aunt Xue asked, "Feng girl, are you really not going back? What will the old lady, the first lady, and your aunt think?"

Wang Xifeng said depressedly, "Let's talk about it later, so that he won't suspect me of wanting to harm her."

Aunt Xue said, "Lian'er was just confused and said that in anger, do you take it seriously?"

Of course Wang Xifeng took it seriously. Yang's baby was not from the Jia family, so it was better to avoid suspicion. It would be troublesome if Yang threw dirty water on her.

But Yang should not have the opportunity to throw dirty water.

Wang Xifeng thought to herself for a while that such a person with evil intentions must not be allowed to stay in the Jia Mansion. How would Rong Ge'er drive Yang away again?

After a while, Jia Rong came back, followed by a maid holding medicine.

When they came up, Uncle Rong gave Feng Jieer a reassuring look, and whispered, "It doesn't matter if you don't get pregnant this time. When you are well, we will work hard together."

Pooh!

In the West Mansion, Jia Lian was scolded by the ladies, but he immediately returned to the courtyard happily and hugged Yang intimately.

The ladies started talking about Sister Feng again, with many words of blame.

The second wife talked for a while, and then secretly covered up for her niece, "It would be better for her to go to the east to recuperate for a while, so as to avoid them quarreling. Let her come back after Yang gives birth to the child."

The first wife perked up when she heard this. She pretended to be distressed and said, "She went to the east to recuperate, and there are a lot of things in the west that need to be taken care of. The monthly salary will be paid in a few days."

Mrs. Wang knew very well that Xing wanted to take control of the inner chambers of Rongguo Mansion.

If Xing were to be in charge of the account books and the government treasury, all the money in Rongguo Mansion would be squandered.

Mrs. Wang said to Lady Jia, "Let Feng take care of the house these days. I've asked about some minor matters here, so there's no need for Feng to run back and forth despite her illness. There's also Zhu'er's wife in the mansion who can help take care of some things."

Grandmother Jia rubbed her temples, nodded, and said, "You decide."

Wang Xifeng asked Jia Rong, "What do you want to do?"

Rong Ge'er did not hide anything and said with a smile, "I plan to let Yang go to Dizang Temple again. Not only will I let everyone see the true face of the nun in Dizang Temple, but I will also let Yang tell Uncle Lian in person that the baby in her belly is not from the Jia family."

He already had a plan in mind, so he could only let Jia Lian down a little bit, and also make Jia Lian understand that he had to be cautious about who he brought into the Jia family.
