Red Mansion Jia Enhou

"Aunt Zhen is really beautiful."

Madam Xing's eyes fell on the face of the beauty sent into the palace by the Zhen family.

The beauty sent into the palace by the Zhen family knelt there motionless.

"You're welcome, ma'am!"

This was obviously a trained move. Mrs. Xing looked at Jia She again.

Jia She shrugged at Mrs. Xing. It was not his fault. The emperor had insisted on giving it to him, and there was nothing he could do about it.

It’s impossible that the emperor gave it to Jia She and he wouldn’t accept it, right?

His face isn't that big yet.

"Get up, sister is a member of the Zhen family?"

Mrs. Xing continued to ask about the beauty in front of her about her background. The beauty smiled at her. It would have been fine if she didn't smile, but when she smiled, she looked even more beautiful.

Mrs. Xing felt as if she was facing a great enemy, and her brows furrowed even more tightly.

Jia She pretended to be a gentleman, watching his eyes and nose, and his nose and heart.

He was afraid that if he continued watching, Madam Xing would kill him.

Mrs. Xing's hands, which were holding the clothes, became tighter and tighter.

"Yes, ma'am."

"How many branches of the Zhen family are there?"

Mrs. Xing continued questioning with all her patience.

"The third room."

"The third room?"

Mrs. Xing's eyes fell on Aunt Zhen's face.

As she kept going out to visit guests, Mrs. Xing had already seen the children of all the prominent families in Shenjing City, but she had never heard that the Zhen family had such a beautiful girl.

The beauty sent to the palace by the Zhen family hung her head.

"Why haven't I heard that there is such a beautiful girl in the third branch of the Zhen family?"

"Madam, I grew up outside. I was brought back to the Zhen family two years ago and then sent to the palace."

Mrs. Xing showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"That's how it is."

"I was wondering why I heard so little about it. It turns out that he entered the palace a long time ago."

"Is my sister tired in the palace?"

Madam Xing pulled up the beautiful lady from the Zhen family who was sent to the palace. Aunt Zhen looked at Madam Xing and nodded, then began to shake her head.

Jia She and Mrs. Xing were a little confused by this. What did it mean that they nodded and shook their heads at the same time?
"Sister Zhen, are you tired or not?"

"I'm not tired, but the people in the palace are complicated. It would be a lie to say I'm not tired."

"But compared to the Zhen family, this is much better."

Although Aunt Zhen stood up, her eyes were still looking down.

This was a habit she developed in the palace. If someone in the palace looked up and confronted someone they shouldn't, it would be a huge sin.

Even if his eyes are gouged out, he deserves it.

Mrs. Xing nodded in agreement to Aunt Zhen.

Sometimes a big family is even dirtier than the imperial palace. The Zhen family has eight branches in total, and the fights within the branches are probably more intense than those in the imperial palace.

Mrs. Xing, who was once unpopular, understands Aunt Zhen very well.

"You will live in Fangruoyuan from now on!"

Madam Xing arranged a place for Aunt Zhen to live, and Aunt Zhen bowed to Madam Xing.

She was already a useless child, and it was a helpless choice for the Zhen family to arrange her into the palace.

Aunt Zhen bowed to Madam Xing.

"Thank you, madam!"

Mrs. Xing nodded slightly.

The Zhen family, the old lady of the Zhen family learned that the emperor had given Aunt Zhen to Jia She today.

The angry old lady of the Zhen family began to get angry, and the person who came to tell her about the situation suffered misfortune.

The tea bowl that the old lady of the Zhen family threw on the ground broke into pieces and splashed on the young eunuch who came.

The young eunuch's face was full of dissatisfaction.

"Mrs. Zhen really has a bad temper."

This was followed by sarcastic remarks.

The old lady of the Zhen family, who knew the situation of flattery and bullying in the palace, looked at the young eunuch in front of her and felt angry.

But people under the eaves have to bow their heads.

Although she was kind to the retired emperor, the Zhen family declined and the emperor rose.

It seems that her identity as a wet nurse who was indebted to the retired emperor was not so effective.

A dark look flashed in the old lady's eyes.

But it is absolutely impossible for him to bow down to the little eunuch.

The young eunuch looked at the old lady of the Zhen family in front of him and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Even though she has fallen into this situation, she still acts like an old lady.

The annoyed eunuch just turned his face away and walked out of the Zhen family.

This is not the way to ask someone to do something for you.

People from several branches of the Zhen family chased the young eunuch from behind until they caught up with him.

Several masters who were used to showing off their power at home lowered their proud heads and nodded and bowed to a young eunuch.

"Father-in-law, please don't leave!"

The young eunuch tilted his head and glanced at the people from the Zhen family.

"My father is willing to help because of the favor we had when we worked together. What does your old lady mean by that?"

"Why?"

"My father helped others, but he got into trouble?"

The young eunuch was submissive in the palace, but attacked fiercely once he left.

The few members of the Zhen family who were oppressed didn't dare to stand there and say anything.

They are afraid that people in the palace will no longer help them.

"Calm down, this matter is indeed caused by my old lady, don't bother with him!"

The master of the Zhen family grabbed the sleeve of the young eunuch. The young eunuch lowered his head and glanced at him with a cold look.

Uncle Zhen quickly moved his hand away.

"Don't get me wrong!"

The young eunuch swept his sleeve that was caught and glared coldly at several members of the Zhen family.

"If you want to cooperate, then don't put on such a stinky air."

"We all served in the palace. How noble are we? Who are we showing off to?"

The young eunuch's curse was extremely vicious.

The old lady of the Zhen family in the room flew into a rage upon hearing this and started cursing non-stop.

Several of the Zhen family's elders looked even more livid.

The young eunuch spat on the ground and left.

The old lady of the Zhen family chased out of the house and saw her sons who were as cowardly as quails. She slapped each of them in the face.

"Is this how you guys watch me get bullied?"

Several of the Zhen family's senior masters hung their heads and said nothing.

The old lady of the Zhen family was completely furious.

"Why did I give birth to a bunch of useless people like you? If any of you had any potential, you wouldn't have to rely on the women in this family to get by."

"Why did I give birth to you!"

The old lady of the Zhen family gnashed her teeth and was so emotional that she finally collapsed.

The Zhen family members quickly gathered around.

To put it bluntly, the reason why the Zhen family can still gain a foothold in the capital is because of this old lady who is nearly eighty years old.

If the old lady were to pass away now, the entire Zhen family would probably be eaten up by the powerful families in Shenjing City.

"Go and ask the doctor quickly!"

The people of the Zhen family shouted, and soon the old lady of the Zhen family was carried into the house. Soon after, the news was spread to the palace.

The retired emperor in the palace was so bored that his concubine was feeding him grapes.

When the news of the old lady of the Zhen family fainting reached the palace, the concubine stopped feeding the emperor fruit.

When the sound of the retired emperor standing up was heard, the palace maids in the hall knelt down one after another.

The concubine on the side also knelt down.

"Why did the nurse suddenly faint?"

The retired emperor anxiously asked about the old lady of the Zhen family's condition. Li Quande, who was reporting the news, looked at the retired emperor with his head lowered.

"The Zhen family has not given any explanation, Saint."

"Go to Zhen's house!"

Listening to Li Quande's words, the emperor began to rush towards the Zhen family.

The emperor rushed to the Zhen family's house, looked at the unconscious old lady of the Zhen family on the bed, and lay beside her. The Zhen family members in the house quickly retreated to the outer room and closed their eyes.

"Wet nurse."

The emperor called out the old lady of the Zhen family by the name he used to address her.

The old lady of the Zhen family lying on the bed did not react at all. The imperial physician standing aside looked at the retired emperor with his head lowered.

"What exactly is going on?"

"How could a healthy person suddenly collapse?"

The retired emperor glanced at everyone in the room, and the Zhen family members didn't dare to say a word.

The retired emperor's gaze fell on the imperial physician beside him, and the imperial physician knelt down in front of him.

"The old lady of the Zhen family fainted due to shock, Your Majesty!"

The imperial physician spoke to the retired emperor, who looked at the kneeling members of the Zhen family with a look of disappointment.

"What exactly is going on?"

"Brother, you tell me!"

The emperor pointed his finger at the eldest son of the old lady of the Zhen family.

Zhen Dalang didn't dare to say anything, and the emperor looked at Zhen Erlang on the side.

Even Zhen Dalang didn't dare to say anything, let alone Zhen Erlang who was standing next to him.

The emperor was so angry that he threw the thing in his hand to the ground.

"What a bunch of ungrateful wolves!"

"I know you resent the one in bed for not raising you, but how much benefit did she bring to you after she returned?"

"How much did I give you?"

"Why is it so difficult for you to support her and live out her days happily?"

The emerald green beads scattered all over the ground and finally slid to the legs of the Zhen family.

The Zhen family members lowered their heads and did not dare to raise them.

The retired emperor looked coldly at the members of the Zhen family who were kneeling on the ground. Finally, his gaze fell on the old lady of the Zhen family who was lying on the bed.

"If you don't take good care of me, then I will."

"Go back to the palace!"

At the order of the retired emperor, the old lady of the Zhen family was carried into the palace.

The Zhen family members were so scared that they looked at each other like quails.

"What should we do now?"

"The saint will surely be angry with us. What shall we do then?"

The old lady of the Zhen family was carried out of the Zhen family, and the Zhen family members were all panicked.

The old lady of the Zhen family is the mainstay of the Zhen family. Without her, the family would lose its backbone.

The Zhen family members began to look at Zhen Dalang, and Zhen Dalang spread his hands.

There was nothing he could do.

"Shall we go to the palace and kneel down?"

"The saint is the most soft-hearted. If they kneel down, they might be let off."

Zhen Sanlang made the suggestion, and the other members of the Zhen family felt somewhat reluctant when they heard Zhen Sanlang's suggestion.

Kneeling outside the palace and admitting one's mistake is too humiliating.

"That's it!"

Zhen Dalang made the final decision. Compared with the substance, what does face matter?
The desperate Zhen family members all knelt outside the palace, and Jia She, who had come to court in the morning, got off the carriage.

Seeing the Zhen family members kneeling at the door, Jia She remembered that Yingchun had been bullied.

Jia She walked towards the Zhen family.

"Who are these?"

Jia She was gloating over other people's misfortune. When the Zhen family saw Jia She, they all showed ferocious expressions.

Jia She stood there without any fear.

"Hey, why is the always arrogant Master Zhen kneeling here?"

Jia She walked up to the Erlang of the Zhen family, who was the one whose daughter led others to bully Yingchun.

Looking at Jia She standing in front of him, Erlang of the Zhen family gnashed his teeth in hatred.

"Jia She, don't let your meanness lead you to success."

"Although our family has been defeated today, who knows if your Rongguo Mansion will be defeated again!"

The second son of the Zhen family is still arrogant.

Jia She couldn't help but laugh.

He didn’t know whether his Rongguo Mansion would be defeated again!

But there is absolutely no possibility for the Zhen family to rise again.

"Please take care of it before you open your mouth!"

Jia She entered the palace with a loud laugh, and the Zhen family members looked frighteningly ugly.

At the same time, the emperor in the palace also knew about the Zhen family members kneeling outside.

As the emperor emeritus, he did not want to forgive this.

When the old lady of the Zhen family who was brought into the palace woke up and saw the retired emperor in front of her, she immediately burst into tears.

There were also tears in the eyes of the retired emperor.

"Your Majesty."

The old lady of the Zhen family lay on the bed and cried to the emperor.

Seeing the old lady of the Zhen family being wronged, the emperor could no longer bear it.

"What exactly is going on?"

"Nurse, why did you suddenly faint at the Zhen family? But they were not nice to you?"

The emperor looked at the old lady of the Zhen family in front of him and asked with concern.

The tears in the old lady's eyes became more and more serious.

"The Zhen family is finished!"

The old lady of the Zhen family looked at the emperor and spoke out her inner thoughts.

A flash of heartache flashed through the retired emperor's heart. The old lady of the Zhen family lay on her back with tears streaming down her eyes.

"The Zhen family is really finished, Your Majesty."

The emperor wanted to comfort the old lady in front of him, but the old lady's prediction was correct.

The Zhen family is indeed finished.

It was their own fault. Why is there a shortage of salt in Da Chu?

This is closely related to the Zhen family. Da Chu must give an explanation to the people of Da Chu.

As for now
The emperor lowered his eyes.

Now that he is here, we can hold on for a while, until he is gone.

甄家
"Don't think too much, go to sleep!"

The emperor, who had been guarding the whole night, wanted to help the old lady of the Zhen family go to bed.

The old lady of the Zhen family kept shaking her head towards the retired emperor, with tears welling up in her eyes.

The old lady of the Zhen family tightly grasped the arm of the retired emperor.

Feeling the strength on his arm, the emperor looked at the old lady in front of him, sighed deeply, and stood up. Despair flashed in the eyes of the old lady of the Zhen family.

The Zhen family has done so many evil things that it is impossible for them to have a place to settle down in the land of Da Chu.

The old lady of the Zhen family closed her eyes.

The retired emperor sat outside the palace where the old lady of the Zhen family was temporarily accommodated. At this moment, his eyes were full of depression.

"Quan De, what do you think is the meaning of what I, the emperor, do?"

The retired emperor's gaze fell on his personal eunuch Li Quande. Li Quande lowered his head and said nothing.

He couldn't answer that either.

"I ascended the throne at the age of twenty-two, and after ascending the throne, I went on to fight wars for years."

"We finally had seven or eight years of good life, and then my unfilial descendants started to make trouble."

"When they were making trouble, did they ever think about my feelings?"

The retired emperor was talking to Li Quande as if he was talking to himself. Li Quande accompanied the retired emperor in front of him and looked up at the sky which was about to get brighter.

In the sky, only a few bright stars are still shining.

"I suddenly feel a little tired."

The emperor spoke again.

"I want to leave the palace"

Li Quande was shocked. This wouldn’t do.

You are the emperor emeritus, how can you leave the palace?

The emperor's eyes were filled with tears.

"Your Majesty."

"Then leave!"

Li Quande was about to speak when he was interrupted by a female voice. (End of this chapter)
