Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 296 Qionghua
At this time, in a remote small courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian lay on the bed in pain and kept crying out in pain.Next to him, a delicate young woman was constantly comforting him.

This woman is none other than the foreign woman that Jia Lian seduced in Hainan.

Although this woman was born among the indigenous people of Hainan, because she is the daughter of a chief, her skin is still very slender and white, and does not have the dark and rough skin of ordinary indigenous women.

In addition, she often walks and exercises, so her figure is very graceful and slender.

Every move she makes exudes a unique beauty of strength, which is completely different from that of the eldest lady from the Central Plains.

No wonder Jia Lian was so fascinated by her after just a few glances at her that he fled back to the capital with her.

However, this woman was also very capable. She actually gave birth to a child under her father's eyes. Finally, she could no longer hide it, so she escaped back with Jia Lian.

Jia Lian calmed down a little, then turned to look at the woman, "How is the child?"

"Don't worry, the government has sent a wet nurse. I went to see her and she took good care of her."

When the woman spoke, her eyes were only fixed on Jia Lian, and she did not seem to pay attention to the child.

Jia Lian nodded and said bitterly: "I don't know how my family will deal with the trouble I caused."

The woman looked a little ashamed after hearing this, and then said: "It's all my fault for seducing you. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have ended up where you are today."

Upon hearing this, Jia Lian quickly tried to struggle to sit up, but as soon as he moved his body, a sharp pain came from his back.

"Ah!" Jia Lian screamed in pain.

The woman quickly came over to support Jia Lian and asked gently: "Where does it hurt again?"

Jia Lian endured the pain and waved his hands, and then said: "How can you blame you! I couldn't control myself and broke your body. If you want to blame it, it's me."

The woman held Jia Lian's hand and put it on her face, rubbed it gently, and then said firmly: "I volunteered."

Jia Lian was so moved that he almost shed tears.

Just when the two wanted to continue talking to each other about their love, the door curtain opened and Ping'er came in from nowhere.

After Ping'er came in, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes when he saw the two people cuddling together.

She originally thought that after her eldest grandma followed Jia Rui, Jia Lian would be hers alone. Unexpectedly, a vixen ran out halfway and directly stole Jia Lian's heart.

Regarding this matter, Ping'er was also very helpless.

However, after this incident, Ping'er has put aside love and love. Now she just wants to live well with her grandma. With the relationship between grandma and Jia Rui, she will not end up in the future. .

Just because he figured it out, the anger in Ping'er's chest disappeared.

I saw her smiling and going forward to give Jia Lian a blessing, and then said: "Congratulations to the second master."

When the woman heard Ping'er's words, she felt a little inappropriate. She quickly let go of Jia Lian's hand and stood aside obediently.

Jia Lian and Heping'er were already used to making troubles, so they didn't have any vigilance towards her.

"What are you doing standing here? Come and sit."

When he was talking, Jia Lian patted his bed, which meant that he asked Ping'er to sit on the edge of the bed and talk to him.

A trace of reluctance flashed in Ping'er's eyes, but he still sat down reluctantly.

"What good news do you have for me?"

"There is news from Rongqing Hall that your matter has been wiped out by Uncle Jia Rui of Dingxihou Mansion."

When Jia Lian heard this, he almost jumped for joy, but soon the injury was affected again, and he lay on the bed in pain again.

But even so, he burst into laughter.

"That's fine, that's fine."

After finishing speaking, he said to the foreign woman standing aside: "Qionghua, look, I just said it's not a big deal!"

It turns out that the mortal woman is called Qionghua.

Now there was a relaxed expression on the woman's face. She nodded repeatedly, and then looked at Jia Lian with pure eyes, admiration in her eyes, as if she was looking at a god.

Ping'er curled his lips disdainfully, saying in his heart that it's too early for you to be happy. After listening to my words, it's not too late for you to be happy.

"The old lady said that although this matter has been settled, people in the court will seize on this matter to make trouble, which will be detrimental to our Jia family, so I asked you to go out and hide for a while."

"This is nothing. I will take a boat back to Jinling and hide in my hometown for a year or two before coming back."

After hearing this, Ping'er smiled and said, "Second Master, you can't make the decision this time. The old lady has arranged for you to be transferred to Northeast Zhuangzi."

"How do you arrange to get to that ghost place?" Jia Lian said very reluctantly.

Ping'er patted Jia Lian's hand, and then said: "You don't have to look at how much trouble you have caused. If you don't suffer for a few years in a remote place, can the great men in the court spare you?"

Jia Lian also knew that he had caused a lot of trouble this time, so he could only bite the bullet and respond. "Don't worry, this time the old lady will let you take the new aunt over." Ping'er said nonchalantly.

"New aunt? What's going on?" Jia Lian was a little surprised.

"The old lady made the decision and put Aunt Qionghua on the family tree."

Qionghua, who was standing aside, didn't know much about writing family trees, but Jia Lian was ecstatic.

This time Jia Lian was truly moved by Qionghua. After he came back, he was still worried that Qionghua would be ostracized by the clan members, and sometimes he couldn't sleep at night just thinking about it.

Now her heart finally settled in her stomach, because Qionghua was now a famous person.

In fact, Ping'er is also very jealous of Qionghua. Even though she has been with Jia Lian for so many years, she is still nominally the maid of the first wife.

And this Qionghua became an aunt as soon as she arrived, and she was an aunt on the genealogy. All her hard work for so many years was suddenly wiped out, which made Ping'er feel happy.

Jia Lian had also been among women. After he was happy, he immediately noticed Ping'er's discomfort.

"Don't worry, I will treat you as my aunt when I come back in a few years."

When he said this, he reached out and touched Ping'er's little hand.

Qionghua on the side didn't seem to mind this, and even gave Ping'er a friendly look, as if to encourage her sister.

"Okay, I don't have time to stay here any longer. There are still many things going on at Grandma's place. I will tell you one last thing before I leave." Ping'er didn't want to continue to get tired of Jia Lian here, because she also felt that in her heart Somewhat disgusting.

"What else is good?"

"Whether it's a good thing or not depends on what you think." Ping'er replied.

Then Ping'er told Mrs. Xing that she had left Qionghua's son by her side to raise her personally, and asked Qionghua to go to the Northeast with Jia Lian.

Jia Lian was very unhappy after hearing this. His youngest son had just been born for a month, how could he leave his mother's care?

Thinking of this, Jia Lian struggled to get up and wanted to ask the old lady for mercy.

But Qionghua, who was standing aside, stepped forward and held down Jia Rui Jia Lian, "Don't worry, you are still injured!"

"But what if I don't go? Should I leave my son in the house?"

Qionghua glanced at Jia Lian, and then said softly: "I think the wet nurse in the house takes good care of you, and if you are left with your mother, I can rest assured and take care of you wholeheartedly."

After hearing this, Jia Lian was so moved that he didn't know what to say. He grabbed Qionghua's hand and shook it gently, "My Qionghua is still kind-hearted."

What hasn't Ping'er seen?
Ping'er was already accustomed to these romantic matters, but she still didn't expect Qionghua to have this intention.

This Qionghua put her whole heart on Jia Lian, and she could no longer tolerate anyone else in her heart. Even her own son had no place.

At this moment, Ping'er felt a little sad for the little baby.

But she couldn't control this kind of thing, after all, the child had to be sent to Mrs. Xing's care.

"Second Master, you need to recover from your injury for a few days. Once the injury is healed, you will leave the capital as soon as possible. If you stay for a long time, the censors in the capital will not do it."

Jia Lian didn't have any good options. The escape route arranged for him by his family was already the best, so he could only hold his nose and agree.

After Ping'er came out of Jia Lian's place, he finally returned to Wang Xifeng's place after spending about a stick of incense.

This shows how remote the place where Jia Lian lives now is, almost right next to the courtyard wall of Rongguo Mansion.

When he entered the house, he saw Wang Xifeng holding his son and teasing him with a cloth tiger.

Although Wang Xifeng did not look at Ping'er, she knew Ping'er was back, so she asked:
"How's it going over there?"

Wang Xifeng's tone was very calm, as if he was asking about a stranger's condition.

"The doctor has already given me the medicine, so it doesn't matter."

"Well, what does that woman look like? She's very cute, otherwise, how could she be so obsessed with our second master?" Wang Xifeng said teasingly.

Ping'er couldn't hear a trace of jealousy in Wang Xifeng's tone. Instead, it was as if he was laughing at someone else's joke.

"Returning to grandma, that woman looks different from the girls in our house, but she is still very beautiful."

"Then our second master will be blessed."

Ping'er hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "I heard that the second master has spent all the money he brought out this time. Can we send some money there so that when the second master goes to the Northeast to reward people, he can have more money?" Some."

After hearing Ping'er's words, Wang Xifeng glanced at her sideways, and then gently shook her head.

Although Ping'er has let go of his feelings for Jia Lian, people are not grass and trees, and no one can be ruthless. After staying together for so many years, it is not that there is nothing but love.

"You're right. Bring him 1000 taels of silver from my warehouse and tell him to save some money. That's it for this year. If he doesn't come back next year, I'll give him another 1000 taels."
