Red Mansion Jia Enhou

The woman has a good-looking appearance, but it is not difficult to tell her age.

This woman was none other than Chen. After Wang Ren was arrested, Chen took Wang Ziteng's daughter and wandered to Shenjing, living in Nongxia Hutong, the most remote street in the west of the city.

Usually not many people live in Nongxia Hutong, so it is known to be quiet and secluded.

"Dad, drink some water!"

Chen's daughter Wang Xiluan brought Jia Zheng a glass of water. Jia Zheng sat under a big tree in the courtyard and watched Chen busy herself.

Now Wang Xiluan called Jia Zheng "Dad". Yuanchun, who had reached the door, heard the harmonious voices in the courtyard and stopped in her tracks.

Yuanchun has a dark face and is not a good father at home, so she comes here to pretend.

Jia Zheng happily took the cup from Wang Xiluan's hand.

"Xi Luan is becoming more and more sensible!"

Jia Zheng rubbed Wang Xiluan's head with his hand, and a moment of comfort and happiness flashed across Wang Xiluan's face.

Ever since Wang Ziteng colluded with the enemy, Chen and Wang Xiluan have been living a life of displacement.

Soon after, Wang Xifeng was sold by Wang Ren. The only good thing in Wang Xiluan's childhood was before her father was brought down.

It was not until he came to the capital recently and found Jia Zheng and his daughter that their lives gradually got better.

"Eat quickly!"

Chen brought the prepared meal to Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng looked at the food in front of him, his eyes filled with happiness.

“You’ve been working hard lately!”

Jia Zheng held Chen's hand. Chen lowered her head slightly and a blush flashed across her face.

"What are you talking about, sir?"

"It's not that hard, sir, just eat!"

Chen's frank voice spread from the courtyard to the outside. Yuanchun, who was standing at the door, was petrified.

Even though she didn't hear it often, she was familiar with the voice.

The reason is simple, because of relationships.

"Miss."

Baoqin, who also heard it, held Yuanchun's hand.

Following closely behind was the sound of a carriage. Jia She arrived and saw a large crowd of people at the gate of the courtyard, as well as a familiar figure.

Jia She almost fell down when he got off the carriage. The women in their family were really tough.

Why is Yuanchun here?
Jia She's eyes suddenly widened.

"master!"

Lin Zhixiao, who also saw Yuanchun, supported Jia She.

Jia She looked at Lin Zhixiao and asked why Yuanchun was here.

Lin Zhixiao shook his head at Jia She. He didn't know this either. He came here without stopping after he knew about Jia Zheng's affairs.

Until now, he has not asked about anything else.

Jia She got off the carriage and walked to the door. The maids following Yuanchun were all silent when they saw Jia She.

"Yuanchun!"

Jia She patted Yuanchun on the shoulder. Yuanchun turned around and saw Jia She.

"Uncle!"

Yuanchun almost screamed, and Jia She quickly covered her mouth.

Yuanchun's eyes were wide open, and Jia She put his hand on his mouth, making a gesture of silence.

After confirming that Yuanchun would not make any sound, Jia She removed his hand.

"Why are you here, Motoharu?"

Jia She spoke in a low voice. Yuanchun looked at Jia She in front of her with a look of horror on her face and asked the same question as Jia She.

"Uncle, why are you here?"

The two of them spoke in unison, and lowered their voices together.

Yuanchun took a deep breath.

"Should I speak first, or should you?"

Yuanchun glanced at Jia Zheng in the yard, who was worried.

"I'll go first, uncle!"

"The person inside is Chen"

Yuanchun blurted it out without hiding anything from Jia Zheng.

This really feels like a dream. What is Jia Zheng hiding?
"What to do, uncle!"

Yuanchun now had an expression of unprecedented awkwardness on her face.

Wang Ziteng colluded with the enemy, and his family disappeared without a trace, and could not be found in the entire Chu State.

But now, not only is it happening right under his nose, but it is also related to Jia Zheng.

How is this not suspicious?
Jia She pushed open the door of the courtyard, and Jia Zheng and Chen, who were holding hands and showing their affection, were exposed to everyone.

Jia Zheng and Chen were confused.

Jia She opened his mouth wide.

Chen, who was wiping Jia Zheng's mouth, dropped the handkerchief in her hand to the ground.

Wang Xiluan, who was serving dishes from the kitchen, froze when she saw the familiar face in front of her.

Until the sound of bowls and chopsticks breaking was heard and Jia She roared.

Yuanchun kept crying to God.

Jia She slapped Jia Zheng in the face with lightning speed.

Chen reacted and kneeled on the ground subconsciously.

Jia She's hands kept trembling and his eyes moved between Jia Zheng and Chen.

At this time, not only did Chen no longer have the beauty she once had, but wrinkles were also creeping up at the corners of her eyes.

"master!"

"Master, calm down!"

Lin Zhixiao quickly supported Jia She.

I'm really hungry!

Whether at home or outside, you can't play that, you have to get involved with Chen.

Jia She took a deep breath and his eyes fell on Chen.

"If you ran away, why did you come back?"

It would be fine if he just came back, but why did he have to get involved with Jia Zheng?

What is so attractive about Rongguo Mansion that makes people have to get involved with it?
Jia She was very confused as to why Chen wanted to be with Jia Zheng.

"Brother, don't make things difficult for her. She is just a woman!"

"Wang Ziteng's incident has nothing to do with her. She is also a victim!"

Jia She was really about to vomit.

Wang Ziteng’s matter has nothing to do with her, why is she running away?
You still protected it.

"Report to the official!"

Jia She gave orders without thinking.

"Report to the police immediately!"

"You can't report it. This official can't report it!"

Chen reacted and crawled towards Jia She in a somewhat embarrassed manner, kneeling at his feet.

"Uncle-in-law, please be kind and let us, mother and daughter, go!"

Chen knelt in front of Jia She. When Wang Xiluan saw this scene, she finally reacted and hugged Chen while crying.

"mother!"

One cry after another got louder than the last.

Jia She's brows were furrowed.

"Uncle-in-law, I beg you."

"Please let me go since I have never done anything to harm the Rongguo Mansion!"

Chen begged Jia She desperately, but it was of no use.

The bailiffs came and soon Chen and Jia Zheng were taken away. Yuanchun was still crying.

Jia She touched Yuanchun's head.

"Your father was arrested. Are you upset?"

Yuanchun glanced at Jia Zheng's figure, and remembered how kind and gentle Jia Zheng had been to Chen and Wang Xiluan in the courtyard just now.

Her mother gave her whole life to him but got nothing in return. Not only did he give her to another woman casually, he also ignored her and Baoyu and often criticized and scolded them.

And this woman is still.
Yuanchun felt sick when she thought about it and spat on the ground.

"Uncle, you really think too much. Even if you don't go to the police, I will go too!"

The news was passed back to Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Zheng was arrested by the government.

It was Jia She who reported the case personally. Grandmother Jia could no longer sit still.

She was still thinking about continuing to play the balancing game, but now Jia Zheng has been arrested.

She really had no one to rely on and was at the mercy of Jia She.

But when she thought about why Jia Zheng was arrested, Grandmother Jia instantly lost her temper.

How could he be so foolish that when he saw Chen, instead of reporting to the police, he actually thought of helping her. He was really crazy.

"What to do, old lady?"

The maid from the second room asked questions while Grandmother Jia's expression changed from gloomy to bright.

Jia Baoyu, who had just returned from school, also came to Grandmother Jia's room.

"grandmother!"

Jia Baoyu bowed to his grandmother. In the school, Jia Baoyu had already learned the news that Jia Zheng had been arrested.

But no one knows why Jia Zheng was arrested.

"Baoyu is back!"

Jia Baoyu nodded to his grandmother, and when she saw Jia Baoyu, her grandmother's complexion looked a little better.

"Did Baoyu know that your father was arrested?"

Jia Baoyu nodded silently again.

"Is Baoyu sad?"

Hearing Lady Jia's question, Jia Baoyu became even more silent.

Can he say he's not sad?

Looking at the silent Jia Baoyu, Grandmother Jia thought that he was so sad that he remained silent.

Little did he know that Jia Baoyu wished Jia Zheng would never come back.

This way, no one will criticize him with twisted ideas.

Grandmother Jia hugged Jia Baoyu.

"Grandma, please don't cry. The master was arrested. He must have committed a crime. Otherwise, the government wouldn't arrest anyone so easily!"

Jia Baoyu patted Grandmother Jia on the back.

At the same time, the news of Chen's arrest spread throughout the entire Shenjing City.

Wang Xifeng, who was also a fugitive, lived in the courtyard arranged by Jia Lian. When she heard the news that Chen was captured in the capital, she was shocked.

Isn’t her aunt in Jinling?

How come he appeared in Shenjing?

Wang Xifeng was curious, but did not take any action.

She herself is in danger now, how can she have the ability to take care of others?

"Young Master, here are the two ounces of meat you requested!"

The butcher deftly skewered the meat in his hand and handed it to Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng, who was dressed in men's clothes, was still focusing on the diners who were chatting with her.

"Master!"

Seeing that Wang Xifeng did not respond, the butcher shouted again.

Wang Xifeng withdrew her reluctant gaze from the man at the stall and fell on the butcher, and took the meat.

A smile appeared on the butcher's face.

"Is this young master also hearing about the wife of the Wang family who was arrested?"

Wang Xifeng nodded somewhat awkwardly towards the butcher.

The butcher stuck the butcher knife in his hand into the board.

"Do you know how Wang Ziteng's wife was captured?"

The butcher wiped his hands on his apron.

Apparently the butcher knew more.

Wang Xifeng looked puzzled.

"The Wang family has committed many evil deeds. Not only have they sucked the blood of their relatives, they have also collaborated with the enemy and betrayed their country!"

These words made Wang Xifeng feel uncomfortable. It was Wang Ziteng who was collaborating with the enemy and selling out the country, not all the Wang family members.

"That Chen was also a capable person. He escaped all the way from Shenjing to Jinling, and then escaped from Jinling back to Shenjing."

"It's really unlucky for Marquis Rong to have such a brother. Not only did he get into such a big trouble, but he also wanted him to save him."

The butcher told Wang Xifeng what he knew, and Wang Xifeng watched him closely.

"What about the youngest daughter of the Wang family?"

Wang Xifeng then asked the butcher.

The butcher glanced at Wang Xifeng.

"Of course they were arrested together. The little girl seems to be only four or five years old this year. It's really unlucky for her to have such a father."

"Little brother is interested?"

The butcher's eyes fell on Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng said nothing, just took the meat from the butcher and left.

Jia Zheng was sentenced to exile to the northwest, and the remaining Chen was executed in the autumn.

The day for Jia She to go to the battlefield also came. After bidding farewell to everyone in the Rongguo Mansion, Jia She rode on his horse.

A group of people looked at Jia She reluctantly, and Jia She just felt fucked.

Because he saw a man, and that man was Jia Dairu, who led his grandson to believe that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles.

Jia She looked constipated.

You're so old now, do you really have to work so hard?

Jia Dairu is older than Lady Jia. Marching in ancient times was no joke.

In addition to the suffering, if you get sick by accident, it could be fatal.

Jia Dairu and his grandson Jia Rui were sitting on the ox cart that was pulling the medical clinic to the military camp.

"Master, I'm a little thirsty!"

After enduring for the whole morning, Jia Rui finally spoke to Jia Dairu, who looked very serious.

Jia Rui looked at Jia Dairu with a pitiful look.

Jia Dairu finally agreed to give his grandson a sip of water and handed the water bag on his waist to Jia Rui.

Jia Rui drank the wine with gulps.

Jia Dairu patted Jia Rui on the back.

"Drink slowly, don't choke!"

Jia Dairu gave instructions to Jia Rui.

The young medical officers around him looked at Jia Dairu and showed sympathy.

Even with a grandson in tow, he's still working hard at such an old age.

Isn’t it good to live a stable life?
The medical officers all had sharp eyes. Jia Dairu was dressed in fine clothes, and it was obvious at first glance that he was made of top-quality material.

Why would a man like him need to go to the battlefield and suffer so much?
The team slowly stopped and began to set up camp to rest.

Jia She also got off his horse. When he got off, he felt a burning sensation on the inside of his thighs.

Niu Ben cast a concerned look at Jia She.

"Brother Xie, are you okay with this?"

"If it doesn't work, don't ride the horse. There's an ox cart behind us."

"You can go sit on that bullock cart!"

The direction that Niu Ben pointed was the team of weak civil servants.

Jia She glanced over there.

How could he go there? After all, Jia She was a military general. What would it look like for him to take a car there?

"Don't worry about it, Big Brother Niu. I can just endure it through this."

Jia She is still stubborn.

Knowing how much pain it was, Niu Ben looked at Jia She again and sat down without saying anything.

Reality will teach him how to behave.

Sure enough, when the march began in the afternoon, Jia She could no longer bear it.

It was really painful, and the key point was that his brother seemed to be swollen from the rubbing.

Niu Ben, who was walking side by side with Jia She, looked towards Jia She again.

"Would you like to sit in the back this time?"

Jia She stopped being stubborn and nodded.

Jia She got off the horse with a red face, and was finally brought into the ox cart team and assigned a position.

Coincidentally, this position was facing Jia Dairu.

"Uncle Dairu!"

Jia She, wearing light armor and sitting among a group of scholars wearing wide robes and big sleeves, acted somewhat like a peacekeeper.

What a small world this is. In this team, there is not only Jia Dairu, but also the exiled Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng was not so lucky. As a prisoner, he not only had to walk, but also had shackles on his feet and neck, so he felt like he was carrying a heavy load with every step he took.

"I am the second master of Rongguo Mansion!"

Jia Zheng kept muttering about his identity, and of course the yamen runners knew it.

Not only did he know this, but he was also told by his superiors not to let up on him.

What does this mean?
In addition to ensuring that he does not die, he must not be allowed to feel comfortable.

As the team moved forward, Jia She estimated the distance to the capital and began to persuade Jia Dairu earnestly. (End of this chapter)
