The filial son of the Red Mansion

Fengjie was very annoyed, but her mind was working very quickly. She said slowly, "I will go and discuss with your wife how to investigate. Second Master, go and talk to the old ancestor about what's going on here, and check the west side while you're at it."

As long as she consulted the old lady and if she and Mrs. You had no objection, she could just drive out those who were not on good terms with the old people and those who stole things from the two mansions. The final bad reputation was not borne by Fengjie alone.

Jia Lian had no idea about the tricks in the inner palace, so he listened to what Grandmother Jia said.

When Jia Rong heard Wang Xifeng's agreement, he felt relieved. Not only did he get a beautiful wife, he also saved himself from being cuckolded, and he could truly control Ningguo Mansion. On such a good day, he had to have fun with Qin Keqing at night. He didn't enjoy the wedding night to his heart's content last night.

At that moment, several maids from Youshi's room were asked to take care of Jia Zhen in Tianxiang Tower.

He secretly made a list of people to be expelled, as well as the dinner with Qin Keqing.

Another beautiful day and another beautiful night.

It's really exciting!

Chapter 12: System Rewards

Youyou returned to the new house.

Qin Keqing was seen leaning on the kang, with one hand supporting the kang table. Her long eyebrows seemed to be frowning, her eyes wandering, as if a heavy stone weighing a thousand pounds was pressing on her heart. The three maids Feng'er, Ruizhu and Baozhu beside her looked anxious.

"My dear wife, are you hungry?" Jia Rong walked into the room and chuckled.

When Qin Keqing saw him coming, she immediately put on a bright smile and said, "I just had dinner at the old lady's place, how can I be hungry now?"

"Oh, what a pity! I have prepared something delicious for Ke'er to try." Jia Rong sighed.

Qin Keqing narrowed her eyes and smiled curiously: "What good stuff is it?"

Jia Rong leaned close to Keqing's ear and blew a warm breeze gently, causing Qin Keqing to shiver all over. He laughed strangely, "It must be a very good thing, the most nourishing thing in the world. Ke'er even rubbed it with her hand last night, did she forget?"

"Did you wipe your hand?"

Keqing thought about it for a moment and recalled a scene. Her cheeks flushed, her snow-white neck turned crimson, and her eyes were delicate and resentful. She said angrily, "How can you eat that?"

"Won't my wife know if she can eat it after she tries it?"

The more Jia Rong spoke, the more embarrassed Qin Keqing became, and her face turned completely red.

That rosy white face was really beautiful. Jia Rong couldn't help but sigh, such a beautiful person, it's really hard to bear to bury it. Burying such a top-notch person for a level 6 treasure chest?

Only a fool can do it!

Jia Rong now realized that Qin Keqing was just a soft-hearted person, and the things in the original novel must have been done by Jia Zhen. Since Jia Zhen was about to die, it was completely unnecessary to bury Qin Keqing for a treasure chest.

Even if the treasure chest could contain something that could bring immortality, he would not bury it.

Qin Keqing was so obedient last night, posing in whatever position she was told, and her shy look while enduring the pain was all imprinted in his mind. If there is no such wonderful person by your side, immortality is meaningless.

Jia Rong chuckled and asked, "Ke'er, are you still feeling pain now?"

Qin Keqing was a new bride, how could she stand such teasing? She shook her head, her beautiful eyes almost shed tears with shame. Thinking of yesterday's scene, even her bones were soft. Her body had long gone limp, leaning into Jia Rong's arms, as if there was fire coming out from the bottom of her heart, making her whole body hot.

Suddenly, I seemed to touch something.

Keqing exclaimed.

Jia Rong said proudly: "Don't be afraid, my dear wife. That is your master's weapon. Although it is powerful, it will not easily hurt anyone."

Qin Keqing said shyly, "They are listening."

Jia Rong grinned and said, "If they don't believe me, I'll ask them to try my power someday."

Ruizhu and Baozhu, who were standing beside them, looked pale and didn't dare to look up. They no longer had the courage to look around like they did yesterday. They held their breath, as if there were bugs crawling in their clothes.

Qin Keqing's eyes moved slightly. She didn't expect the master to be so straightforward. She was half worried and half happy. She was worried that seeing the master's attitude, there would be no shortage of concubines in the mansion in the future. She was happy that Ruizhu and Baozhu were brought by her from the Qin family, and they were hers after all.

Jia Rong chuckled and said, "Is Ke'er jealous?"

Is there any woman in the world who is willing to share her husband with others? Qin Keqing was unwilling to do so, but she was never the kind of person who only thought about herself.

As the grandmother of Xiaorong in Ningguo Mansion, she was very aware of her duties. It was her responsibility as the grandmother of Xiaorong to ensure that Master Xiaorong had many children and grandchildren. She had also made mental preparations long ago, knowing that Master Xiaorong would have to have a concubine in the future.

But there is still a feeling of loss in my heart.

She shook her head slightly and looked at Feng'er again. Her smile was a little forced, and she said, "Ke'er was thinking last night that Feng'er, Ruizhu, and Baozhu are all very beautiful and smart people. It would be great if they could stay with you forever."

Jia Rong felt as if his heart was melting.

Where can you find such a woman? Although this is a closed society of ethics, it is extremely rare for someone to say something like Qin Keqing.

Don’t you see, Jia Daishan had many wives and concubines, but in the end only his wife, Lady Jia, gave birth to two sons and one daughter, while his aunts and concubines never gave birth to even a grasshopper for him.

Don't you see, Jia Lian has no concubines except Wang Xifeng, and he is not even allowed to touch Ping'er's finger. This forced Jia Lian to either steal the maids in his father Jia She's room or the servants' wives, and when he really had no other choice, he would use the servants to relieve his sexual desire.

The differences between people can be seen in this way.

He scratched the beautiful girl's nose with his finger and said, "I'm just kidding. Why do you look like this and make your uncle feel distressed?"

Qin Keqing shook her head, feeling really aggrieved. After being teased by Jia Rong, she finally couldn't help crying out.

"Ke'er just came in, and something like this happened to the master of the family. It's no wonder that people think too much. The old ancestor is still a good person, but other people may blame me for being unlucky."

Jia Rong gently wiped away the tears from Keqing's eyes and comforted her: "If this is considered unlucky, there are many unlucky things in the world. It doesn't matter what others think. I say Ke'er is the Rong Grandmother of Ning Mansion. Ke'er is the only Rong Grandmother."

The tears in Qin Keqing's eyes flowed faster, and she turned over and lay in Jia Rong's arms, twitching and crying. "Master, don't you blame me for harming the master?"

Jia Rong didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

If she really had this power and could kill Jia Zhen, she would be grateful. She even wanted to marry more wives to kill Jia Zhen a few more times, or to kill more people in the Ning and Rong families.

It also saves you from having to plan on your own!

"My dear, you are not to blame for this. Stop crying. You are shaking so much that my weapon is about to be unsheathed. It would be embarrassing to hurt you now!"

Qin Keqing stopped crying, looked down, and felt ashamed and embarrassed. She said angrily, "Bad master!"

"Your uncle is fine. He was afraid that you might cry and get hungry, so he prepared to feed you a good meal."

"No... just once, then later..."

……

Ruizhu and Baozhu in the room did not dare to look directly at it, only Feng'er was curious. She looked at it carefully with a pair of bright eyes and thought to herself: There is nothing like this in the painting, where did the master learn it?

Jia Rong naturally wouldn't tell her that it was a book he accidentally saw in the secret book library of a man called Sandabuluidian? ? Diankangmu.

hiss~

interesting.

He suddenly felt as if there was something extra in the system in his mind. He opened the panel and saw the following message:

[Hint: The hidden pre-task is completed, Jia Zhen has seven days left to live, and the task system is unlocked]

[Task 1: Receive praise for being filial at Jia Zhen's funeral. Reward: 50 taels of silver]

[Task 2: Receive praise from Mrs. You for being filial, reward: one ounce of silver]

[Task 3, receive insincere praise from Mrs. You for being filial, reward: one piece of gold silk soft armor]

What is the golden soft armor? Isn't it something made up in martial arts novels? Is it really invulnerable to swords and guns?

Why... is insincere praise so much better than genuine praise? I always feel like there's something wrong with this system.

hiss~

"Don't use your teeth!"

Chapter 13: Wang Xifeng's eyes are burning with anger

Ruizhu and Baizhu took towels to help Qin Keqing wash her body. Without Feng'er and Jia Rong present, they boldly teased Qin Keqing.

"Grandma ate so much tonight, she will gain weight tomorrow."

The blush on Keqing's face and neck had not yet faded, and her face turned even redder after hearing this. She pretended to be angry and said, "Why are you laughing secretly? Next time, I will make you serve him."

Ruizhu scooped a basin of water and gently poured it on Qin Keqing's shoulders. The water flowed down her shoulders. She looked into the water droplets, as if she saw a beautiful fairy. She smiled and said, "My mouth is too dumb, and sister Baozhu is too young, so we can't help grandma."

Baozhu was still smiling, but she lowered her eyebrows and looked at herself, then stopped smiling. She muttered to herself, "I'm still young... I'm still young."

At this time, Jia Rong led Feng'er, who was holding a lantern, to Huifang Garden. Huifang Garden was a large garden behind the Ningguo Mansion, separated from the main courtyard by a gate. Every day and every night, this gate was guarded by maids.

Today was no exception, except that the door was not closed as the night grew late.

Jia Rong passed by the gate and asked the maids who were guarding the gate, "Who serves the master at night?"

The old woman said, "Just now the Madam went to Tianxiang Tower."

The wife was Youshi, Jia Zhen's second wife and Jia Rong's stepmother. Youshi had been married to Ning Mansion for eight years and was now twenty-five years old, which was considered a middle-aged woman in that era. Unfortunately, Jia Zhen was used to liking the new and disliking the old, and he had many concubines at home, so he became poor early and did not ask Youshi to help him have a son or a daughter.

Jia Rong could understand why, although Youshi was no longer favored, she was still very worried about Jia Zhen's illness.

The You family was not a large family, and there was only an old mother who remarried and two unrelated sisters left in the family. You's family could not help her at all, and the You family had to rely on Jia Zhen's monthly support.

A second wife who is not favored, not the head of the household, and has no power from her natal family, her position in Ningguo Mansion will be very embarrassing if Jia Zhen dies.

You was obviously worrying too much.

Jia Rong really had no need to bully or mistreat such a peaceful and pitiful woman. He had originally planned that after Jia Zhen's death, Ningguo Mansion would support Youshi, allowing Youshi to continue to live a life of luxury, copying Buddhist scriptures and chanting Buddhist scriptures.

It's best if the two of them keep to themselves and don't disturb each other.

When necessary, he would go to Youshi and pretend to be filial.

However, the task was really strange and confusing. Fortunately, there was no time limit, so it didn't matter.

Jia Rong and Feng Er went to Tianxiang Tower in the center of Huifang Garden. It was the tallest building in Huifang Garden. Every year when there was a happy event in Ningguo Mansion, banquets and opera troupes were held in Tianxiang Tower. Now it had become the place where Jia Zhen recuperated.

There were not many lights in Huifang Garden, but the lights on Tianxiang Tower were extremely bright.

Jia Rong arrived at Tianxiang Tower and headed straight for Jia Zhen's recuperation room. Before he reached the door, he saw Wan'er, Youshi's little maid, running in with a basin in her hands.

"The master has vomited again, please go and take a look."

Yes, Jia Zhen vomited again and will die in seven days.

When Jia Rong saw Jia Zhen again, Jia Zhen's legs were swollen, which was a symptom of terminal illness. After three to five days, he would vomit blood, urinate blood, and have blood in his stool, and then completely lose consciousness and die in shock.

This is the best result.

Jia Rong had no idea how painful it was during that period, only Jia Zhen could feel it himself.

Youshi saw Jia Rong.
