I am cultivating immortality in the Red Mansion

Chapter 91 See for yourself
When Jia He arrived at the Jinxiang Hou Mansion, the house was quiet.It was the kind of weird silence without the smoke of fireworks. Even though I saw people passing by occasionally, they slowed down their steps and couldn't even hear any movement.

"What's going on?" Jia He got out of the car, stopped a servant next to him and asked.

The servant was startled when he heard the sound suddenly. He looked up and saw that it was Miss He. He breathed a sigh of relief and saluted, "Young lady, you don't know. The Marquis and his wife had another quarrel this morning. When they heard the sound, they became angry. Everyone No one dares to cause misfortune to the master." He added, "I hope the girl can give me more advice. My aunt came yesterday and was so angry that she went back. Today I have to trouble the girl to persuade her."

The aunt is talking about Hong Shuren, the wife of General Feng Tang.Hong Shuren has a gentle temperament and can be angered, which shows that the quarrel between the Marquis and his wife was really serious.

Jia He got on the sedan chair and entered the inner house.Go straight to Madam Hou's courtyard.When the serving maids and ladies saw that it was her, they all smiled and greeted her in a low voice.

Zhu's mother personally came out to welcome her, lifted the curtain, and whispered: "Madam is lying inside. She is getting up when she heard that you are coming. I hope the girl will wait for a while."

Jia He was sitting in the open room and had a cup of tea when Mrs. Jinxiang Hou came out.Today she wore an autumn fragrant colored peony Ruyi pattern cross-collar jacket, and a crow-blue cloud and wild goose pattern to wipe her forehead. Her expression showed exhaustion, but her eyes were clear.

Seeing Jia He, she was overjoyed and her eyes immediately became moist: "Good boy, it's really hard for you to make this trip."

Jia He hurriedly stood up and went over to help her sit down with Zhu's mother: "If you are here, we are all family members, so there is no need to be so polite."

Mrs. Jinxiang Hou held her hand tightly.In just a few days, Mrs. Hou's palms, which were once as smooth as a young man's, have become very skinny and shriveled, and the skin on the back of her hands has also become loose and old.

"My child, you know what my son is doing." Mrs. Jinxiang Hou sobbed: "But I feel that no matter how bad my son is, he will never kill anyone. And if he and his wife are harmonious, he will not do that. , That stall is a mess. The death of that boy must have nothing to do with my son!"

Mother Zhu handed over a handkerchief and stuffed it into Mrs. Hou's hand.Mrs. Hou covered her face with tears and burst into tears.

Jia He said: "The prince is really a rare gentle person, and I don't believe he would do these things. Just relax, things will always come to light."

In fact, the masters of Jinxiang Hou Mansion are gentle and easy to get along with.Not to mention Madam Hou, the Crown Prince, and the married Hong Shuren, the Lord Hou, the Crown Prince's concubine, and the Crown Prince's children are also excellent people.

Therefore, Jia He was even more frightened when he heard that Mr. Hou and Mrs. Hou were quarreling like that yesterday.

Madam Marquis of Jinxiang calmed down slightly, holding the handkerchief and said angrily: "You don't know how annoying the Marquis' words and deeds are. Seeing that someone died, he actually said that my son should admit this evil thing, and said that my son If he doesn’t admit it, let him pay for it with his life!”

Jia He was secretly shocked.Feeling that the Marquis of Jinxiang was not completely indiscriminate, he raised his head and looked at Zhu's mother standing next to him.

Zhu’s mother explained: “Master Hou thinks that this matter was probably done by the prince. The prince said that he did not remember, and Mr. Hou was extremely angry, saying that he had done all kinds of things recently, including gambling and going out to smoke. The scene shows that he is hopeless, and saying that he doesn't remember is clearly an excuse. He also said that since the man is dead, it is secondary to pay more money, and the most important thing is for the prince to kowtow to that family and admit his mistake. . The madam refused, saying that since the prince didn’t remember, he might not have done this. The two couldn’t argue, so Mrs. Hou said that she should report it to the government and let the government judge. She firmly believed that the prince had not done such a thing. But if I tell the official, the prince's bad idea will spread throughout the capital, and the Marquis's house will definitely lose its face. The two of you are getting more and more quarrelsome."

Jia He felt that these words were the true facts.If it spreads out, it will change slightly after one or two turns.Seeing Mrs. Hou crying even more sadly after hearing Zhu's mother's memories, Jia He advised: "You don't have to get angry with Mr. Hou. As the head of the family, he must have different considerations from those of us who live in the inner house. Do you want to Think about it, if there is really a wicked person who secretly attacks the prince, wouldn't it make the wicked person even more happy if you and your wife are divorced? As the saying goes, the relatives will be happy and the enemies will be happy. This is the situation. "

After hearing this, Mrs. Jinxiang Hou's crying gradually stopped, her eyes filled with moisture were dull and lifeless.

Jia He continued: "The Marquis has his own reasons for his considerations. Think about it, the Marquis is not just guarding the prince, but the whole family. Not only must the safety of the whole family be ensured, but also the safety of the whole family must be ensured. According to the emperor’s attitude.”

Mrs. Jinxiang Hou suddenly said "Ah": "Your Majesty?"

"Yes." Jia He said: "The prince's actions during this period must have been spread throughout the world, and the emperor must have heard about it. Even if the emperor did not mention it, even the men from other ministers' families would have heard about it. Maybe he said something outside. With such pressure, the Marquis naturally doesn't want to involve the government and make the trouble worse."

Mrs. Hou nodded nervously: "I haven't thought about this for him." She couldn't help but hold the girl's hand: "You say, why don't we report it to the official and get married privately?"

"It can't be said that it has to be settled privately. It may also need to be reported to the government." Jia He said: "You might as well let me take a look at the condition of the body, and I will help you make an idea and decide what to do."

"Okay." Mrs. Jinxiang Hou didn't have any ideas now. Suddenly she realized that Sister He was here, and she had a backbone. She hurriedly ordered: "Take Sister He to see that person." She also told Mother Zhu: " You stay with Sister He all the way, and you must not scare her." The corpse looked very pickled, but you can't taint the child's eyes.

Zhu’s mother responded repeatedly and accompanied Jia He to the outer courtyard.

The boy was placed on a coffin and placed in a secluded corner of the outer courtyard.Marquis Jinxiang specially sent a dozen of his trusted aides to guard the place and not allow anyone to approach.

After Jia He learned this detail, his heart moved, and he suddenly felt that the Marquis was just being tough.

It's just a corpse, who would get close to it?It's too late to avoid taboos.The Marquis made this arrangement just to prevent anyone from tampering with the corpse.

Deep in his heart, he actually had some thoughts with expectations and hope.For example, I hope that the prince did not do this.For another example, I hope that the Crown Prince is not evil to the core.

This made Jia He breathe a sigh of relief.She walked to the body and said to those who were guarding him: "Show me his rotten wounds."

Miss He often comes to the house as a guest, and everyone in the house recognizes her.What's more, the people guarding here are all close associates of the Marquis, so they naturally know who she is.

They were shocked when they heard this: "How can a girl see such a dirty place?" It wasn't that they couldn't trust Miss He, but that the rotten place was in a special location and it was really hard for her to see it.
