Red Mansion: Fuyao River and Mountain

Earl's Mansion, Jia Cong Courtyard.

Jia Cong returned to his own courtyard. Daiyu, Yingchun, Baochai, Xiangyun and other sisters were still there, and they seemed to be waiting for him to come back.

Except for Xiangyun who only stayed at the Jia's house occasionally, the other sisters lived in the two mansions on a daily basis and naturally knew all the details of the Rongguo Mansion.

The old lady only wanted the second master Jia Zheng to inherit the title, so that the title could be passed on to her most beloved Baoyu in the future.

Now things have changed, and Jia Cong has finally inherited the Rong family business. I'm afraid the old lady is very unhappy.

Now she was suddenly called to Rongqing Hall to discuss something. Daiyu and the others had the same idea as Tanchun, fearing that what the old lady was going to discuss was not good.

The group of people suddenly lost interest in playing chess and talking, and Yingchun asked Xiu Ju to go to the West Mansion to inquire about the news.

After waiting for a long time, Jia Cong came back and talked about what happened in Rongqing Hall today. When the sisters heard that the old lady wanted the lady to take charge of the household affairs of the West Mansion, they all thought that it was not a good thing.

Now that the eldest son of the eldest wife has obtained the title and property, the old lady has let the second wife take charge of the family business. As time goes on, things will definitely go wrong. The old lady is just biased and doesn't think about what will happen in the future.

Later, when they heard Jia Cong say that Wang Xifeng would be the head of the family in the end, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Jia Cong had not yet married, so it was reasonable for him to let his sister-in-law take charge of the household affairs.

With Feng Ji from the eldest wife taking care of the household affairs, Jia Cong was able to take over the family business of the West Mansion smoothly, and Daiyu and other sisters also felt relieved.

Xiangyun was a very active person. Just now, she heard Tanchun say that Jia Cong would encounter some difficulties when he went to Rongqing Hall, so she waited patiently for Jia Cong to come back.

Knowing that everything was fine, she could no longer hold back her temper and dragged her sisters to walk around the garden to bask in the sun. In a flash, she brought a group of people away, making Jia Cong's yard quiet.

Jia Cong called Wu'er to the study and told her about transferring her to the West Mansion to help the housekeeper.

Wu'er was a little stunned after hearing this. She had been with Jia Cong for many years and was accustomed to serving Jia Cong in terms of clothing and food. She had never thought that she would go to the West Mansion to help the housekeeper that day.

Wu Er's pretty face flushed, and she said anxiously: "Third Master, I am just your maid, I only know how to serve you in your daily life and diet, I don't know anything about housekeeping.

Can the Third Master send someone else? I just need to serve the Third Master. Or you can let Zhishao go. In fact, Qingwen is also very capable... "

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Zhi Shao had an accident and fell into the water that year, and all her past events were in vain. She has also been practicing in Panxiang Temple for three years, and her mind is calm and reserved, so she is not suitable for being a housekeeper.

Qingwen has a fiery temper. The West Mansion is not as peaceful as our East Mansion. There are bound to be disputes there, and Qingwen's temper cannot handle it."

Among the few of you, you are the only one born in Rongguo Mansion. You are most familiar with the people and things in West Mansion. You are careful and prudent, know how to advance and retreat, and are the most appropriate person to do this.

Besides, you go to the West Mansion just to help my second sister-in-law and hold my position. You are not required to take charge. My second sister-in-law and Sister Ping'er will take care of daily affairs. You just need to watch and learn from the side.

I'll ask my second sister to assign a butler and a maid to you, so you'll have someone to keep you company when you go."

Seeing that Wu'er still seemed a little lacking in confidence, Jia Cong smiled and said, "Now that I have inherited the title of Rong State, the West Mansion is also my family business. Wouldn't you like to help me look after it?"

Wu Er heard Jia Cong's words and seemed to have courage, and said: "If the Third Master asks me to go, I will go, but I am afraid that the Third Master will not be able to take good care of my food when I go to the West Mansion, so you can ask Lingguan to help during the day.

"The Third Master will be taking the imperial examination next spring, so eating and sleeping are very important, so you can't be careless. I'll prepare some fine nourishing food for the Third Master when I have time."

Jia Cong felt warm in his heart when he heard her careful and considerate words and how she remembered to take care of him in everything.

He gently held her hand and said with a smile, "The two mansions are adjacent to each other. If you want to come back, just come back. I would love for you to worry about me."

At this time, Qingwen's voice came from the door of the study: "What are you talking about in private? Tell me."

When Wu'er heard the voice, she blushed and pulled her hand away from Jia Cong's grasp, just then she saw Qingwen coming in with a smile.

She opened her mouth and said in a refreshing and beautiful voice, "Xifu Rongqing Hall is a mouth with gaps in teeth. It can't hide any news. The news came not long after Third Master came back.

I heard that our Wu'er is going to be the housekeeper of the West Mansion. I really want to congratulate her. For such a happy event, are you going to invite us to be the host?"

After hearing Qingwen's teasing, Wu'er's pretty face turned red.

She said angrily, "You are the only one in the whole yard with a good mouth. You have to grind your teeth every day, even in the Third Master's room. Don't say that Rong Qingtang has a gap in his teeth outside. I don't want others to expose your good appearance."

Qingwen smiled and stuck out her tongue, and replied, "I just said it was a spit. I won't do it again in the future."

Wu Er was unyielding and said, "Look at what you are saying. I guess you want to be the housekeeper. How about I let you do the job and I will just stay and serve the Third Master. I would love that."

Qingwen raised her lips and said, "You are smart, but I am not stupid. I am sheltered from the wind and rain in this courtyard by the Third Master. It is so comfortable. I will not leave this door.

Wu Er, let me tell you, the West Mansion is not like our East Mansion. Don’t say that the Second Mistress is a powerful one. The Second Madam seems to be even more powerful. You better be careful.”

Although Qingwen was not a born child of the Jia family, she was sent to Lady Jia by Nanny Lai when she was young. Because she served in Lady Jia's room, she had some knowledge of the affairs of the West Mansion.

Jia Cong knew some background about the masters of the West Mansion. When she mentioned Mrs. Wang, there was obvious fear on her face, as if he had seen her before.

Wu'er grew up in the West Mansion and naturally knew some rumors. After hearing Qingwen's words, her little face turned pale, and the courage she had just mustered seemed to be mostly scared away by Qingwen's words.

Jia Cong scolded Qingwen with a smile, "Why are you trying to scare her? We are from the East Mansion, and no one dares to bully us in the West Mansion. I am here, so there is nothing to worry about."

Qingwen blinked her bright eyes and immediately agreed, "Third Master is right. When you go to the West Mansion, everyone knows that you are Third Master's man, and no one dares to bully you.

In the future, you will help the Second Mistress as the housekeeper, which will definitely be very stressful. I will help you with the daily chores such as keeping watch for the Third Master, combing his hair, dressing him, and bathing him, so you will be less tired."

Wu Er blushed and gritted her teeth, "You'd better save your energy and think about your own good things. I don't know your intentions yet, so you don't need to be so kind!"

Qingwen didn't care when she saw that her little thoughts were exposed, and continued to tease Wu'er with words.

Jia Cong watched with great interest the bickering between the two maids, which eventually turned into a fight and laughter. Bursts of sweet laughter as sweet as silver bells could be heard from the study.

……

The palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Meridian Gate.

As the Si hour was coming to an end, officials who had retired from court came out of the palace in groups of three or four, passed through the grand and tall Meridian Gate, and dispersed.

The imperial guards guarding the Meridian Gate were all a little strange. Even if the morning court was busy, they would always adjourn at 9:00 pm. This had been the unspoken rule for many years.

Today's morning court lasted more than half an hour longer than usual. I don't know what the officials in the court talked about with the emperor that took so long.

Among the crowd passing through the Meridian Gate, Marquis Zhongjing Shi Ding looked a little unhappy. Thinking of the unusually shocking changes in the morning court today, he couldn't help feeling a lingering fear in his heart.

This morning, His Majesty listened to reports from Qing officials as usual, and issued instructions as usual.

The emperor was also extremely concerned about the rampant salt smugglers in Lianghuai and the brutal plundering of the border in Xuanfu and other places in the Nine Borders. He strictly ordered the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War, and the Five Military Commandery to investigate and arrest them and to prepare for war.

I thought today's morning court would end as usual, but unexpectedly, something unexpected happened at the last minute.

The Left Censor-in-Chief Zhou Xianyang and the Deputy Censor-in-Chief Liu Yuqing of the Censorate respectively submitted impeachment memorials, stating that Weiyuan Earl Jia Cong was ordered to inherit the hereditary title of Rong state, and that Works Deputy Minister Jia Zheng was disobedient to etiquette and lingered in Rongxi Hall, the main hall of Rong state.

The obscurity of family rituals contradicts the rectification of national laws, and the power of elders overrides the rectification of rituals and laws. The court should strictly rebuke their mistakes and guide them for the right path.

In addition to the Censorate's impeachment of the matter, many officials from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Clan Affairs and other departments also submitted impeachment reports.

Among them, some officials were impeaching Mrs. Jia Shi, the wife of the Rong State, saying that although she was a high-ranking official in the imperial court, she had failed to educate her children properly and manage her household properly, and had allowed her own children to engage in such immoral and disrespectful behavior...

It turned out that the four major government offices all submitted memorials for the same matter, which caused an uproar in the morning court today. Many court officials even came out on the spot to second the motion, which made the public very excited.

Marquis Zhongjing Shi Ding has close ties with the Jia family of Rong state, and the impeachment of officials has involved Shi's relatives, which makes him unable to take it lightly.

The Jia and Shi families had close contacts, and Shi Ding knew a lot about the family disputes of the Jia family. He knew that his aunt only doted on the second son Jia Zheng and grandson Baoyu throughout her life.

Ever since the death of her eldest son Jia She, her aunt had been thinking of letting her second son Jia Zheng inherit the title, and she even submitted a memorial to the emperor in person to request the title, but the palace had never issued an imperial decree to confer the title.

In the end, the emperor let Jia Cong inherit the title of Rong state. Shi Ding knew the reason very well because he was present at both of the Rong state's title discussions in the East Warm Pavilion.

He knew that although Jia Cong was the most outstanding son of the Jia family, his aunt had always been deeply resentful of this grandson because of an incident fifteen years ago and because of Jia Cong's biological mother.

The aunt was stingy with her kindness towards this most outstanding grandson, and instead doted on Baoyu, who had accomplished nothing.

Although Shi Ding disagreed with his aunt's behavior, since it was the Jia family's family affair, he naturally would not say much.

The emperor granted Jia Cong the title of heir to the Rong family, and made the second branch of the Rong family, which was favored by his aunt, become a side branch. I think his aunt must have been very unwilling.

Because of this partiality, it was almost natural for the old man to encourage or instigate his second cousin Jia Zheng to stay in Rongxi Hall.

Normally, such matters within the family would not be reported by the people and the government would not deal with them. As long as no one cared, they would just get away with it.

Shi Ding never expected that such a secret family affair would alarm the four major government offices, namely the Censorate, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Clan Affairs, which jointly submitted a memorial of impeachment.

Not to mention that there were a considerable number of seconding officials, as if everyone had discussed it beforehand.

Those talkative censors in the Censorate have always been good at attacking anyone they see. It is not surprising that they would find loopholes in the Jia family and speak out without restraint.

The Ministry of Rites is in charge of the orthodoxy of the country's rites and laws, and the Ministry of Clan Affairs oversees the order of clan members and nobles. These two government offices have submitted impeachments for this matter and are also being cleaned up.

But this matter has nothing to do with the Ministry of Personnel. It is really puzzling that the old scoundrel Chen Mo, the official in the Ministry of Personnel, also wrote a letter of impeachment to join in the fun.

Emperor Jiazhao, who was sitting on the throne at the time, did not make any comment on the matter and just asked the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Clan Affairs to handle it. However, the cold and sarcastic expression on the emperor's face left a deep impression on Shi Ding.

……

Shi Ding was feeling very puzzled when he happened to see the Minister of War Gu Yankui walking in front of him, so he hurried forward to greet him.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries. Shi Ding thought for a moment and couldn't help asking, "Master Gu, don't you think today's morning court session is a little strange? Why are there suddenly so many officials who are joining in the impeachment of the Jia family?"

The reason why Shi Ding asked Gu Yankui this question was because Shi Ding was a meritorious military general, and although Gu Yankui came from the military, he was a serious civil servant.

The officials who impeached the Jia family in court today were all civil officials. The court had always been clearly divided between civil officials and military officials. The tricks and schemes of civil officials were a natural shield for military officials. Military officials like Shi Ding naturally had difficulty in investigating what happened today.

During this year, Shi Ding and Gu Yankui had a lot of official business dealings with each other, such as manufacturing firearms and forming the Shenji Camp, and they had accumulated some friendship, so they came to him to find out the truth.

Gu Yankui smiled and said, "There is a reason for this. Yesterday, Sun Shouzheng, the censor of Yongzhou Road in the Censorate, impeached Jia Zheng for the Rongxi Hall.

Because he was only a seventh-rank official and had no qualifications to attend court, the impeachment memorial was submitted to the emperor by the Ministry of Public Administration, so very few people knew about this matter.

But what he didn't expect was that after reading Sun Shouzheng's memorial, the emperor actually praised him very much, saying that he was upright and outspoken, and abided by etiquette.

He also had the inner court pass on an oral order to the Censorate and the Ministry of Personnel, asking him to be promoted to the seventh rank after three years of examination. The news spread within half a day, but the Marquis, as a noble, was not able to know about it. "

Shi Ding suddenly realized that there was a reason for this. No wonder so many officials had submitted impeachment reports today, and the public was outraged, as if Jia Zheng had committed an unforgivable crime.

Even the old man Chen Mo, the official in the Ministry of Personnel, who had nothing to do with the matter, was eager to submit an impeachment memorial to the emperor to show his loyalty.

Gu Yankui glanced at Shi Ding and advised, "I know that the Marquis and the Jia family are blood relatives. Why not send a message to Jia Cunzhou and ask him to move out of Rongxi Hall as soon as possible to avoid trouble later."

Jia Cong had observed government affairs in the Ministry of War, and had followed me on my inspection tour of the nine frontiers. He and I have some kinship, and I know him well.

Even if Jia Cunzheng moved out of Rongxi Hall, given Jia Cong's character, he would never treat his uncle badly. "

After listening to Gu Yankui's words, Shi Ding felt that they made a lot of sense. After he prepared to return home, he asked his wife to go to the Jia family immediately to give his aunt a message.

Remind my aunt to vacate Rong Xi Tang as soon as possible to prevent the matter from escalating in the court.

Shi Ding was about to say goodbye to Gu Yankui and was in a hurry to return to his mansion when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

Gu Yankui looked back and saw the Grand Prince Zhongshun, with a serious expression on his face, walking quickly through the Meridian Gate.

Behind him was an official from the Ministry of Clan Affairs, who was following him closely. The official was holding seven or eight stacked memorials in his hands.

Gu Yankui watched as Prince Zhongshun boarded the carriage, and the subordinate followed on horseback, heading quickly toward the East City Clan Court Yamen.

Gu Yankui seemed to have thought of something, his expression changed slightly, and he said, "If the Marquis wants to send a message to the Jia family, you have to do it quickly."

……

Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall.

After Jia Cong finished talking about his family affairs, he left with an excuse. Wang Xifeng sat for a while, then found an excuse and took Ping'er back to her own courtyard.

Now, in the eyes of Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang, she, Wang Xifeng, and Jia Cong are in the same party, so naturally they don't have a very good face to her. Instead of staying and bringing shame upon herself, it would be better for her to leave early.

Only Lady Jia and Jia Zheng were left in Rongqing Hall, which seemed quite deserted.

Looking at Jia Zheng's gloomy expression, Grandmother Jia could not help but frowning. She felt quite helpless about her old son's stubborn temper.

He said, "Zheng'er, what you said today may make sense, but it won't work in our family.

Now Cong has inherited the Rong family business. Although he is young, he is very powerful and scheming. You are no match for him. At this juncture, you must not act on impulse.

Once you move out of Rongxi Hall, your righteous status will be gone. I can still maintain it while I am alive, but if I die that day, your second branch will no longer have a foothold in Rongguo Mansion!"

Jia Zheng said, "You are too kind, old lady. Cong is a learned man with a clean character. He would never treat his brothers like this."

Grandmother Jia sneered and said, "I think you have read corrupt books. He is considered a man of integrity. Don't forget that he was only ten years old back then. He could have ruined Wang Shanbao's family with just a few words.

He is ruthless and cold-hearted. What does such a person have to do with good character?

When the Ningguo Mansion was suddenly ransacked, Zhen'er was angered to death by her son, and Rong'er was afraid that she would never come back in this lifetime.

I have thought about this matter over and over again. Although there is no solid evidence, it is related to Cong Ge'er. None of us knows what he did behind the scenes.

This kid is so young, but he quietly borrowed someone else's name to set up such a big shop. He didn't even notice any faults in the clan rules, and the emperor even promised him to be a royal merchant. He makes so much money every year.

Look at him, he has only been an official for a few years. Whenever he goes out, he must bring back some benefits. If he is a decent person, he can do this."

Jia Zheng still looked unconvinced and said, "You are being a little suspicious, old lady. Cong has been promoted faster than ordinary people in the past two years. He is so outstanding because he is both civil and military and is valued by the emperor.

He could have received the teachings of contemporary literature and written those peerless poems. Without a broad mind and tolerance, it would have been impossible. My son will never believe that he has so many evil thoughts. "

Looking at her naive son, Grandmother Jia said with a look of regret, "He can pass the imperial examination and write some poems, but how can he be considered a perfect person?
Even an old woman like me knows that those treacherous ministers in history books and operas were all on the list of successful candidates in the imperial examinations, and many of them were originally great talents. You have really lost your mind because of reading so many rotten books!
In short, you should just live peacefully in Rong Xi Tang. If you mention moving or giving up your throne again, you would be unfilial!
Even if I can't see through Cong, he does have a conscience in one thing. I can see it very clearly: he has always respected you in his heart.

As long as you don't move out of Rong Xi Tang, he will never force you to leave. You just live there peacefully.

Just let the eldest wife take care of this family business. After all, he won’t shortchange you on your usual expenses.

After this period of stability has passed, I am thinking of helping Baoyu find a good relative with strong foundation, so that the second branch will have more foundation, and the population disparity between the two branches will not be too great in the future."

After hearing what Lady Jia said, Mrs. Wang felt relieved. Although her master was a little old-fashioned, the old lady was wholeheartedly caring about the second wife and her thinking was long-term.

The old lady was right. This family business was left to Feng girl to manage. Do they dare to shortchange the second wife?

As long as the old lady is around, the second branch will not collapse, and the Rongguo Mansion will not change!
Originally, she had been led around by Jia Cong and Wang Xifeng for most of the day. She had lost all hope of continuing to get involved in Rong's country's business. Her heart was like an extinguished fire, gray and lifeless.

Now, after hearing what Lady Jia said, Mrs. Wang's spirit began to revive and she became confident again.

While Lady Jia was making plans, Mrs. Wang began to feel happy.

Lin Zhixiao's wife suddenly walked quickly into Rongqing Hall, her face looking a little nervous, and it was hard to tell whether she was happy or sad.

When she saw Lady Jia, she said, "Madam, our head of the household sent word that officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Clan Court have just entered the mansion and are now leading us to Rong Xi Tang.

He said he was bringing the palace's order to the master. "

When Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang heard this, they were both frightened. It would have been fine if the people from the Ministry of Rites had come, but it was not a good thing if the people from the clan house came.

The last time someone from the clan residence came to their house, they reprimanded Baoyu for verbally insulting the emperor, which almost took his life. To this day, Grandmother Jia and Mrs. Wang are still frightened.

Why did the clan officials suddenly come to the door and say that they brought an imperial decree from the palace? What kind of mystery is this?
Jia Zheng was also puzzled when he heard the news. He had been an official for more than ten years, but he had always been idle and spent his days doing nothing.

I have always seen others receive imperial edicts, but I have never had such a blessing.

Although he was a bit pedantic, he was not stupid. The fact that the Ministry of Rites and the Clan Court came to his house at this critical juncture always gave people a bad feeling.

Jia Zheng followed Lin Zhixiao's wife to Rong Xi Tang with a nervous heart. Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were also worried, so they followed them.

However, the two officials specifically wanted to see Jia Zheng, and it was not appropriate for their family members to show up, so they took another route, went around to the back door of Rong Xi Tang, entered the front hall, and listened behind the screen.

Jia Zheng entered Rongxi Hall and saw three officials waiting there, two of whom were familiar faces.

One of them is Liu Shuyou, a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Clan Affairs. Last time, he went to the mansion to issue an order to demote Baoyu, which left Jia Zheng with extremely embarrassing memories.

The other was Zhang Zhenghe, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, who had accompanied Guo Lin into the Jia Mansion last time to announce the imperial decree for Jia Cong to inherit the title of Rong.

The other person was a stranger. Judging from his official uniform, he was just a minor official of the seventh rank. He was holding a few memorials in his hands and following Liu Shuyou closely.

Jia Zheng asked anxiously, "I wonder what instructions the two gentlemen have for you today?"

Liu Shuyou, the clan official, said coldly, "Sir Jia, the emperor has ordered Weiyuan Earl Jia Cong to inherit the title of Rong State and become the ruler of Rong State.

According to the etiquette of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Jia Cong should be ordered to build Rongguo Mansion and Rongxi Hall. However, eight days have passed since the imperial edict was issued, and Lord Jia is still lingering in Rongxi Hall. This is against the national law and etiquette, and is disrespectful!
This morning, officials from the four ministries submitted memorials to impeach the incident, with more than ten people in the court seconding the proposal. With everyone discussing the matter in a frenzy and emotions agitated, His Majesty could not take it lightly.

Now I have ordered the Ministry of Clan Affairs and the Ministry of Rites to handle this matter. Your Majesty, considering that the Rongguo Mansion is a family of hereditary meritorious service, must always maintain some respectability. According to court regulations, those who submit memorials for impeachment must defend themselves and submit memorials. "

Liu Shuyou pointed at the hand of the official behind him and said: Lord Zhang from the Ministry of Rites and I have brought seven copies of the impeachment memorials from officials from the four ministries at this morning's court. Please ask Lord Jia to defend himself and report back as soon as possible.

Tomorrow the Imperial Clan Court will send an official to retrieve it so that the matter can be reported to His Majesty and the court will make a ruling on the matter!"

Liu Shuyou signaled to the official, and the seventh-rank official from the Ministry of Clan Affairs stepped forward and handed seven stacked impeachment memorials to Jia Zheng.

At this time, Jia Zheng's face had already turned pale, with beads of sweat on his forehead. The seven light memorials seemed like huge mountains that could break his back in his hands!

At this moment, the shame and hatred in his heart reached an extreme level. He had clearly realized that after Jia Cong inherited the title, he would have to move out of Rong Xi Tang in order to comply with the etiquette and laws of the imperial court.

But the old lady refused to agree, and even pressured him with filial piety, saying that her wife was obsessed with vanity and obstructed him in every way.

If I had insisted on my own opinion at that time, I wouldn’t have encountered the disaster and humiliation today!

Seeing Jia Zheng's pale face and expression of unbearable shame, Liu Shuyou was quite moved, and his expression also eased slightly.

He said: "I have always heard that Lord Jia behaved uprightly, but I didn't know he would deviate from the norm today. The law of the country is as strong as a mountain and the etiquette is strict. I would like to advise you that it is not too late to mend the fence after the sheep have been lost.

If there is any delay, and the court debate becomes heated again, it will be difficult to deal with!"

Jia Zheng held up a stack of memorials in his hand and said in a trembling voice: "Jia Zheng is guilty, Jia Zheng is guilty..."

When Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang behind the screen heard Liu Shuyou's words, it was like a sharp knife stabbing into their hearts, and their souls and spirits were half dispersed.

Grandmother Jia was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, and Yuanyang, who was standing beside her, couldn't even help her up.

She thought that her son was Jia Cong's elder, and that respect for seniority was common sense. How could letting her son continue to live in Rong Xi Tang be a hindrance to the court...?

Mrs. Wang was so frightened that she was stiff and trembling all over. She had no idea that the old lady had fallen to the ground.

I first tried my best to interfere in the Rong family business, and then I did everything I could to prevent my master from moving out of Rong Xi Tang, which led to his humiliation today. I am afraid that there will be no good relations between husband and wife in the future. (End of this chapter)
