Red Mansion Jia Enhou

Chapter 10 Zhang’s Dowry

Lin Zhixiao pointed at Sang and Huai, and Mrs. Wang's lungs almost exploded with anger.

"Sir, we have beaten enough. Can we stop?"

Jia She didn't say anything, and the slaps continued.

Only after Zhou Ruijia's face was completely beaten into disgrace did Jia She speak.

"Stop it!"

Lin Zhixiao stopped his hand and Jia She glanced at the servants in this room.

Among them is the person in the second room.

"Remember it all. Although the rules in this family have changed, we still handle things and punish people according to the old rules."

"If I see someone with a rotten tongue again, he will be beaten to death and handed over to the government directly."

All the servants were silent. Those who originally liked to talk about the master's family affairs quickly lowered their heads under Jia She's intimidation, and no longer dared to talk about the affairs of the Rongguo Mansion.

Jia She looked at Mrs. Wang.

"I don't think the Rui family can stay this week. Mrs. Wang, what kind of punishment do you have in mind?"

Mrs. Wang's eyes fell on the Zhou Rui family who was lying on the ground, looking like they were dying.

"You have punished her and beaten her. Isn't it a bit too ruthless for me to drive the whole family out? After all, she has no merit but hard work."

Jia She looked at Mrs. Wang in surprise.

"When did I tell them to kick them out?"

Mrs. Wang was stunned.

"Aren't you going to drive them out?"

Jia She couldn't help but laugh.

"Return the body and deed and release it. That is a gift."

Mrs. Wang said in disbelief: "Then what do you mean by that?"

"I mean sell them."

The people in the room took a breath of air-conditioning. The Rongguo Mansion hadn't sold people out for many years, but this old man actually wanted to sell people.

"No!"

Jia Zheng interrupted Jia She.

"The house has always been good and virtuous. If you sell someone, it will hurt people and you will definitely not be sold, brother."

Jia She looked at Jia Zheng with a cold face.

"You do have a good heart."

"Have you ever heard a saying that if you don't buy it, you can't sell it."

"If you can discipline her well, why would it be my turn to take action, and why would her family need to be sold?"

"In short, you and the Wang family are the ones who caused this situation. You have almost ruined the rules of the Rongguo Mansion."

"This is Baoyu's birthday party today. Do you know why I won't go?"

Jia She questioned Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang.

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang lowered their heads and said nothing.

Seeing Jia Zheng's silent expression, Jia She really laughed angrily.

"Jia Zheng, your book has really gone into the dog's belly. Zhu'er has only been away for a short time, and you are holding a grand party for Baoyu's first anniversary."

"Not to mention how sensible and progressive Zhu'er has been since she was a child. I feel heartbroken when I see him. Now that he has died young, you parents don't feel any guilt towards him."

The two heads lowered even lower.

Jia She took a deep breath and took a look at their outfits.

Jia She suddenly remembered the time when Daiyu from Red Mansion came to Beijing. At that time, Jia Min had just passed away. As a mother-in-law, Rongguo Mansion refused to accept mourning and even refused to show off.

There are still big fish and meat, dressed in red and green, especially Jia Baoyu, who is dressed in red and wearing a golden crown. Those who don't know it think he is getting married.

On the other hand, Daiyu was dressed in plain clothes, and because her mother had just died, she didn't even have a flower on her head. When she arrived in this house, no one paid attention to her, but she was even allowed to eat meat.

Jia Zheng felt uncomfortable being looked at by Jia She.

"The white-haired Wang family and I sent the black-haired person to Zhu'er's death. Naturally, we felt uncomfortable in our hearts. But half a year has passed and we can't stay immersed in grief."

"As for Baoyu's birthday banquet, the old lady didn't want to owe Baoyu any debt, so it was not my wish."

After speaking, Jia Zheng raised his head, probably out of guilt. Jia Zheng gradually lowered his head under Jia She's gaze.

Jia She was silent.

If you open your mouth and shut it, it's Mother Jia. Don't you two have any opinions?

Or are you using Jia Mu as a shield?

"That's all, do what you like. I heard that Lian'er's mother's dowry was transferred to you." Jia She asked Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng frowned.

"Brother, why did you suddenly ask about this?"

Jia She glanced at Jia Zheng and rolled his eyes silently in his heart.

I can’t ask about the things in his big room yet.

"I remember that I gave this dowry to the old lady for safekeeping, but why did it end up in the hands of your second wife?"

Jia Zheng's eyes paused.

"Brother, don't you know?"

"No one informed me, how would I know."

"Then brother wants to go back now."

Jia She rolled his eyes at Jia Zheng, what do you think?
Jia She took out the booklet of Zhang's dowry, and clearly remembered Zhang's dowry in it.

"Now where is the dowry?"

Jia She asked Jia Zheng, and Jia Zheng looked at Mrs. Wang who had her head lowered and panicked.

Mrs. Wang knew she couldn't hide, so she raised her head.

"The eldest sir has instructions from the old lady."

"I have locked all the belongings of my former sister-in-law in the public treasury. If the elder wants to take them back, he will inform the old lady. I will not dare to touch these things without the old lady's order."

Mrs. Wang's face was not red and her heart was not beating. If she had been someone who didn't know the affairs of Rongguo Mansion, she would have been fooled like this.

"Then you open the public treasury and let me take a look and see if there is anything missing in it."

"That's not possible either, sir."

Mrs. Wang refused directly. When things got to this point, everyone in the room saw something fishy.

Jia Zheng frowned.

Although Mrs. Xing felt sour when the Zhang family was mentioned, she still wanted to help Jia She when the time came.

Mr. Xing spoke.

"Brothers and sisters, please don't rush to push people out. The eldest master and I are just going to have a look, not to take them back. Why are you nervous?"

Mrs. Wang looked at Mrs. Xing calmly.

"Sister-in-law, what you said is wrong. I'm definitely nervous."

"You also know the rules of the house. This door cannot be opened without the consent of the old lady every month."

"Although I am in charge of the house now, I am only allowed to go there once or twice a month."

"Now if you ask me to open it, open it. If something is lost, I won't have the shame to go to the old lady. Sister-in-law, go find the old lady by yourself."

As soon as Mrs. Xing opened her mouth, she was moved across the city by Mrs. Wang.

Xing's complexion turned bad.

There was nothing she could do about it, because this was indeed the rule.

But people are alive and rules are dead.

Mrs. Wang dared to say that she had never broken any rules. As far as she knew, the Rui family would run in there dozens of times every month.

Now she is talking about rules and really thinks others are fools.

Jia She also felt more and more that there was something fishy in this.

"Lin Zhixiao, go to the old lady and tell her that I want to check her dowry."

Jia She called Mrs. Zhang his wife.

Mrs. Xing felt a little uncomfortable.

Jia She cast his eyes on Mrs. Wang.

"Maybe open now?"
