Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 202 Cracks
Jia Lian was also confused. When he saw Wang Xifeng running away, he kicked Ping'er away who was blocking him, and chased after him with his sword in hand.

Ping'er was also frightened, and the mother-in-law and maid who quickly greeted him followed behind.

A group of people came to Jia Mu in a noisy manner.

By this time, the show had ended, and most of the people had left. Only a few people were chatting with Jia Mu.

Wang Xifeng rushed into the inner room and threw herself into Jia Mu's arms regardless of the situation.

"Ancestor, please save me, Second Master Lian wants to kill me!"

Jia Mu was startled and quickly hugged Wang Xifeng and asked what was going on.

Wang Xifeng wiped her tears and said in a hoarse voice: "I just went home to change my clothes. In case Mr. Lian was talking to someone at home, I just thought it was a visitor. They scared me so that I didn't dare to go in. I listened outside the window. When I heard it, it turned out that I was discussing with the daughter-in-law of Bao Er's family. They talked about my interests and wanted to give me poison to eat and put me to death. I straightened Ping'er up. I was angry, but I didn't dare to argue with him. I hit the woman twice and asked Mr. Lian why he wanted to harm me. He was so ashamed that he wanted to kill me."

This is a big scapegoat for Jia Lian.

No matter how bold Jia Lian is, he would not dare to harm Wang Xifeng. You must know that his uncle is Wang Ziteng, the inspector of Jiu Province.

In addition, Wang Xifeng gave him a son after all, and he did not violate the rule of seven outings.

Unless Jia Lian was completely crazy, he would not be able to touch Wang Xifeng even if it was reasonable or emotional.

While they were talking, there was a noise outside, and then Jia Lian burst in with a sword.

The reason why Jia Lian dared to be so arrogant was because his mother Jia doted on him very much. Although not as much as Baoyu, she was only slightly less fond of him.

So now he relied on his favor and ignored Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing sitting next to him. After coming in, he took a sword and went to catch Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng was really frightened when she saw that Jia Lian was still so arrogant when she arrived, and hurriedly hid behind Jia Mu.

Mother Jia protected Wang Xifeng with one hand, and pointed at Jia Lian with the other and cursed, "What a dirty seed! You are getting more and more rebellious, and I'm still here!"

Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and others also rushed over to dissuade him.

And Jia Lian was also crazy about people. Seeing so many people coming to persuade him, he became even more arrogant: "It's because the old lady spoiled her that she is like this. Even I started scolding her! I must treat her well today."

Jia Mu suddenly grabbed a tea cup from the table and threw it at Jia Lian, "Does this mean you don't take me seriously? Go and ask him to come over, and I'll see what he has to say."

If Jia Lian is not afraid of others, he is the most afraid of his father, Jia She.

Jia She and Jia Zhen are the same, and they have never shown any mercy when it comes to beating their son.

Now when he heard that Jia Mu was going to call him Lao Tzu, he became a little scared and quickly threw away his sword and retreated.

Seeing Jia Lian gone, Wang Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief. Then, as if she had been wronged, she threw herself into Jia Mu's arms and cried non-stop.

Mother Jia patted Wang Xifeng on the back and scolded Jia Lian, but she also meant to defend Jia Lian.

Wang Xifeng, who was nestled in Jia Mu's arms, was still very dependent on Jia Mu at first. After hearing Jia Mu's words, her heart began to change.

Originally, Wang Xifeng felt a little guilty about Jia Lian, but after something like this happened today, Wang Xifeng's guilt about Jia Lian had already flown to Java.

Now Wang Xifeng wants Jia Lian to die.

When Jia Mu saw Wang Xifeng, she gradually stopped crying. She thought she had persuaded her, so she smiled and said to everyone:
"It's just that the children are young and greedy cats, so we can't live there like that. You tease me a little today, and I'll hit you tomorrow. I'll look annoyed, and in a blink of an eye we're playing together again."

Then, Jia Mu made a promise to Wang Xifeng: "Don't worry, today is his fault. I will ask him to apologize to you tomorrow. If he dares to disobey, I will tell him to take action."

Wang Xifeng forced a smile and agreed to Jia Mu.

Then everyone comforted Wang Xifeng a few words. Wang Xifeng didn't want to listen to their nagging anymore, so she thought she was tired and went back to her small courtyard.

After coming back, Wang Xifeng entered the bedroom and saw the mess inside. She thought of Jia Lian's incident again, and felt annoyed for a while.

"Change everything for me, it looks dirty to me."

Ping'er, who was following closely, heard this and quickly ordered the maids and mothers-in-law to come in and clean up.

After a while, the furnishings in the room, from the screen to the table, except for the old kang, were all replaced with new ones.

This is Wang Xifeng now. She has money in her pocket. If she were like Wang Xifeng before, she would not have such great determination.

After changing things, Wang Xifeng sat on the newly made mattress, still a little angry.

She couldn't let go of today's grievances no matter what.

She rolled her eyes and looked at Ping'er aside, but then moved her eyes away.

"Bring me a bowl of tea."

Ping'er thought that Wang Xifeng had eaten too much and was thirsty now, so he hurried out to prepare tea.

After Ping'er left, Wang Xifeng tore off the sticky mandarin ducks on the window.

Coming in with a tea bowl, Ping'er saw the red mandarin duck on the ground and asked quickly: "Grandma, what's going on?"

"It looked disgusting, so I threw it away."

Ping'er glanced at Wang Xifeng. This thing was cut by Wang Xifeng himself after Jia Rui and Wang Xifeng had sex.

Although she didn't understand what grandma meant, she didn't say much and served Wang Xifeng to drink tea, and then Wang Xifeng lay tiredly on the bed.

Let’s not talk about Wang Xifeng sulking here, let’s talk about Jia Rui.

After coming out of Shuixian Temple, he went straight to the imperial mausoleum, and then checked the tomb of the Supreme Emperor and the emperor's mausoleum by the way.

There is nothing wrong with either building, it's just that one is on a grand scale and the other is on a smaller scale.

After everything was fine, Jia Rui took the people back to the city.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue sitting in the house, talking about something.After Jia Rui came in, the two men stopped talking.

Xue Baochai stood up to change Jia Rui's clothes, but Aunt Xue hid inside.

"What were you talking about with your mother-in-law just now?"

Xue Baochai said with a smile while changing clothes: "There was a joke in Xibian Mansion today."

"What's the matter?"

"Lian Er and Feng Yatou had a quarrel and even used weapons."

When Jia Rui heard that it was about Wang Xifeng, he paid some attention, "What on earth is going on? Can the two of them quarrel?"

"We left long ago and didn't catch this show. After we came back, we still listened to the news from the maids below."

After hearing this, Jia Rui scratched his head a little. This Rongguo Mansion was simply a big sieve. If something happened to the master inside, it would spread a lot.

Jia Rui changed his clothes and left Xue Baochai's place and went to the old lady Jia Dairu and Mrs. Wang.

After coming out of the old man's yard, a dark shadow sneakily came to Jia Rui's side.

"Sir, the red mandarin duck in Rongguo Mansion has fallen."

Jia Rui frowned. This was an agreement between him and Wang Xifeng. If Wang Xifeng needed to see him urgently, he would tear off the red mandarin duck on the window.

Jia Rui waved his hand and asked people to retreat.

He stood on the veranda and thought for a moment with his eyes closed.

This paragraph seems to have appeared in Dream of Red Mansions, but Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng got along quickly, and nothing major happened.

The only unlucky woman was the woman who had an affair with Jia Lian and had to hang herself in the end.

But Wang Xifeng didn't look like she was going to be fine today.

Seeing that Wang Xifeng was looking for her, she was seeking revenge.

After dinner, Jia Rui did not rest in his wife's room, but went to the outer study.

When it was late at night, Jia Rui left the room, stepped into the room, looked in the right direction, and went straight to Wang Xifeng.

Soon, Jia Rui came to Wang Xifeng's small courtyard behind Rongxi Hall of Rongguo Mansion.

Arriving at the room in the small courtyard, Jia Rui listened very alertly for a while. When he saw that there were no other problems, he dared to jump out of the room and came to Wang Xifeng's window.

With Jia Rui's eyesight, he could naturally see that the red mandarin duck attached to it had disappeared.

Jia Rui pushed the window gently and found that it was not locked, so he pushed it gently and jumped into the room.

After entering the room, Jia Rui looked around again and saw Wang Xifeng sitting on the kang, staring at him blankly.

Seeing that there was no one else in the room except Wang Xifeng, Jia Rui relaxed a little.

He quietly came to Wang Xifeng's side and sat on the bed, "What happened today? You called me here in such a hurry."

When Wang Xifeng saw Jia Rui, she felt as if she were a relative. She threw herself into his arms and started sobbing.

While sobbing, he also twisted the soft flesh around Jia Rui's waist with his hands.

Fortunately, Jia Rui has already practiced the Nine Sun Magic Kung Fu and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu in pairs, so he doesn't mind this little pain at all.

"Okay, okay, don't cry anymore. Tell me what you've been wronged about, and I'll take it out on you."

Jia Rui coaxed Wang Xifeng like a child.

After a long time, Wang Xifeng stopped crying, sat up from Jia Rui's arms, and then wiped his eyes randomly with the handkerchief on the bed.

"Do you know what happened in the mansion today?"

"Everything that happens in your house can be known to anyone on the street."

"What do you say?"

"Then tell me exactly what happened. I was just confused. I don't know the specific situation."

Wang Xifeng could only shrink into Jia Rui's arms and patiently explained the cause and effect of the matter.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Wang Xifeng stared and gritted her teeth and said, "Aren't you going to give him an official position? Arrange him to be sent to Guangxi or Hainan so that he will never be able to return to the capital."

Jia Rui gasped.

Wang Xifeng is so cruel!

You must know that in ancient times, Guangxi and Hainan were called barbarian lands. Being an official here meant suffering, and the natives were rampant there, and they would die if they made trouble.

What's even more terrible is that there can't be any big political achievements in this place, and there is not much hope of getting promoted and making a fortune.

These are places where the imperial court demoted officials.

Anyone with some ambition or ability does not want to be an official in these places.

With Jia Lian's ability, it would be good if he could safely serve as a fellow advisor in these places. If he wanted to be transferred to a good place or return to the capital based on his merit, there was no hope.
