Chapter 168 Did Grandmother Jia have a stroke?

Chapter 168 Did Grandmother Jia have a stroke?
……

"What a shitty clan leader!"

Grandmother Jia slammed the table and sneered, "He just can't stand seeing our family become royal relatives and rise to prominence, and he can't stand seeing our family be better than his family!"

"He is just a cousin who is separated from me by several generations. What right does he have to interfere in the marriage of the eldest girl? The eldest girl has a father and a mother, and I, the ancestor, am still alive!"

Why did they discuss sending Yuanchun to the palace? Wasn't it so that she could be favored by the emperor one day and her family could become royal relatives and rise to prominence?

Just when they were about to realize their long-cherished wish, Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared out of nowhere. No matter what Grandmother Jia and Jia Zheng said, they couldn't accept it.

This is totally unacceptable!

Jia Zheng thought for a moment and said, "But he is the clan leader. His words..."

"The clan leader is nothing!"

Grandmother Jia slammed the table again: "Doesn't he know that this is the emperor's will? It's fine if he doesn't listen to me, but doesn't he even listen to the emperor?"

"He doesn't listen at all!" Jia Zheng shook his head and sighed, "Brother Jing's official position is getting higher and higher, even to the highest position among the ministers. Now, let alone the ancestors, even the emperor doesn't care about him. I'm worried that if Brother Jing continues like this, it will sooner or later lead to disaster!"

"The powerful ministers in history books never had a good ending. Sometimes their entire families would be infamous forever."

As Grandmother Jia listened to her son's analysis, her expression gradually became solemn. Which of the treacherous ministers in the operas did not have his entire family exterminated in the end?
She didn't want to be implicated by the East Mansion.

"What good ideas do you have?"

Jia Zheng had no idea what to do. He was totally confused.

Seeing her son's appearance, Jia's mother did not ask any more questions. She just frowned and said, "We can talk about other things later. I must make the decision on Yuanchun's matter!"

As long as she becomes the grandmother of the imperial concubine, she will naturally not be afraid of Jia Jing because of her status, and she will have many ways to deal with it at that time.

So, Grandmother Jia brought Jia Zheng and a trusted maid named Yuanyang to Ningguo Mansion.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Ningqing Hall, he was stopped by two servants.

The two servants laughed and said, "The clan leader has ordered that this is the important place for the clan to hold meetings. No one is allowed to approach without being summoned. Those who violate the order will be punished with thirty strokes of the cane!"

Grandmother Jia rolled her eyes.

Outrageous!

There is actually a place in the Jia Mansion that even she, an old ancestor, cannot go to!
"You! Go in and report!" Jia's mother pointed at a servant and sneered, "Just tell him that my old lady is here and ask him if he wants to see her!"

Grandmother Jia was still very powerful among the servants in the two mansions. The servant who was pointed out did not dare to neglect her and hurried into the house to pass on the message.

inside.

Jia Jing is explaining something.

Jia She listened obediently and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

The two of them naturally heard the voices outside. When the servant came in to report, Jia Jing looked at Jia She and said with a smile, "Lord En, do you know what to do?"

Jia She hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't worry, big brother, I understand!"

Jia Jing smiled and said, "Go ahead! Do it with confidence. I'll take care of everything!"

He didn't want to have a head-on conflict with Lady Jia now. Arguing with an old lady would only disgrace the status of a minister.

After hearing his elder brother's words, Jia She gradually became excited.

From today on, he will be the one in charge of Rongguo Mansion!
What a biased old lady!
Go to hell!

It is said that after waiting outside for a while, Grandmother Jia was beginning to get impatient and was about to rush in with her men when she suddenly saw her eldest son, Jia She, swaggering out.

When Lady Jia saw this, she nodded slightly.

The eldest brother was still somewhat filial and knew to come out and pick her up personally.

"Let's go!"

Grandmother Jia stepped forward and was about to enter.

"Wait!"

Jia She stretched out his hand to block the door.

Grandmother Jia was stunned: "What's wrong?"

Jia She smiled and said, "Madam, aren't you ill? Why are you running around like this? Aren't you afraid of making your illness worse and hurting your body? Your son will be dead by then!"

After saying this, he looked at Jia Zheng and shouted, "You unfilial bastard, you heard your mother say she was not feeling well, but you forced the old lady to come over. What is your intention?"

Jia Zheng hurriedly explained: "Brother, that's not the case. Please listen to my explanation..."

"You're such a shitty explanation!"

Jia She interrupted Jia Zheng.

"Somebody come!"

"Tie this evil creature up and kill him!"

"I'm going to beat this unfilial bastard to death!"

At this moment, the personal guards of Ningguo Mansion were very respectful to Jia She, and they immediately went forward with ropes and sticks to tie up Jia Zheng.

Upon seeing this, Jia Zheng struggled hard, but he usually only knew how to read and write, and was weak to begin with. How could he defeat the fierce and wolves-like soldiers? Soon he was tied up.

"Brother, what are you doing!"

"Let me go!"

Jia Zheng was still yelling and struggling.

Jia She looked at his brother's struggling appearance, and became more and more excited. He sneered: "Come here, shut up this beast's mouth and beat him to death!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, a personal soldier blocked Jia Zheng's mouth.

Jia Zheng opened his eyes wide.

"Woooooooo..."

Jia She shouted: "Drag him away!"

How can I describe how happy I feel!
Bodyguard: "Yes!"

After saying this, the personal soldiers dragged Jia Zheng downstairs.

Grandmother Jia stared blankly for a long while, her brain unable to react for a while, until her youngest son was dragged away, she woke up from her dream.

"Boss, what are you doing!?"

"Let your brother go!"

Grandmother Jia said sternly.

Jia She smiled and said, "Mother, if you are sick, go back and rest. You don't have to worry about what's happening outside!" He then looked at Yuanyang and smiled, "Yuanyang, go back and serve the old lady well, okay? Otherwise, I won't forgive you!"

Yuanyang's face turned pale when Jia She looked at her, and she quietly pulled down Jia's mother's clothes and said, "Madam, why don't we go back first.

Grandmother Jia was unwilling to reply. She glared at Jia She and cursed, "You unfilial son, it turns out that your usual filial piety was just an act to deceive me!"

Jia She laughed and said, "Why do you say that, mother? You just said you were sick. I was so worried that I asked someone to find a doctor to prescribe medicine for you."

Grandmother Jia said coldly, "I'm not sick, I'm fine now! Get out of my way, I want to go in and see Jing'er!"

She knew that the culprit was still Jia Jing!

Without Jia Jing's support, how could Jia She dare to be rude to her?

Jia She stood in front steadily and said with a smile: "This is the important place for family meetings. Women in the back house cannot enter without permission, otherwise it would be against the rules."

"It will be dealt with according to family rules!"

"Mother, you don't want to kneel in the ancestral hall, do you?"

Grandmother Jia was so angry that her eyes went dark and she fell backwards.

Yuanyang was startled and hurriedly supported Jia's mother: "Old lady, what's wrong with you?"

"Medicine, medicine!"

Grandmother Jia gritted her teeth and spit out two words with difficulty.

Yuanyang usually carries medicine with her, and this time was no exception. She hurriedly took out a pill and put it into Lady Jia's mouth, while rubbing her back to help the old lady calm down.

When Jia She saw this, he gritted his teeth and said angrily, "It's all my fault, my second brother. He tricked the old lady into going out to get some fresh air, and now she's sick again."

"Hurry up and help the old lady back. I'm going to beat that unfilial beast to death right now!"

Jia Mu: "..."

mandarin duck:"……"

……

It is said that after being helped back to the courtyard, Lady Jia woke up soon, but she was still weak all over, dizzy, blurry, slurred, and nauseous.

After a while, his mouth became a little crooked and he kept drooling.

This is... a stroke!

Yuanyang was so frightened that his soul left his body. He quickly asked Liuli Feicui and others to go out and inform people.

After a while, everyone arrived one after another.

Although Jia Jing was busy with official duties, he had to put aside his work and come over in person. He instructed Yuanyang several times to "serve her well and don't neglect her" before leaving.

Jia She and Jia Zheng came here together.

It has to be said that Grandmother Jia's illness happened at a very wrong time. Jia Zheng, who should have been beaten, was not beaten with a stick. As soon as he entered the room, he threw himself on the bed and burst into tears.

Jia She watched coldly from the side without saying anything.

After a while, Mrs. Wang came with Jia Baoyu.

Mrs. Wang naturally knew that Jia Jing had returned home. Instead of being afraid, she was somewhat happy.

She wanted to see Jia Jing wanting to cure her, but having no choice but to flatter her. She also wanted to see Jia Jing kneeling at her daughter's feet and shouting "Long live the queen".

Hahaha!

Mrs. Wang laughed in her heart.

As for whether Lady Jia is sick or not, what does it have to do with her?
Only Jia Baoyu, seeing the old ancestor lying on the bed and his father crying, lost his fear and also threw himself on the bed and cried. The father and son stood on the left and right, guarding Jia's mother and crying so hard that Mrs. Xing, who came in a little later, thought that Jia's mother was going to die, and hurriedly whispered to Wang Shanbao, who was beside her, to prepare for the old lady's funeral.

She's going to be the boss again!

This was the first big thing she had done after becoming the head of the household, and it must be done in a grand manner, Mrs. Xing thought to herself, but then she saw her daughter-in-law Wang Xifeng come forward to help the old lady up and give her a sip of water.

Although the old lady's eyes and mouth were crooked, she did not mean to die.

Mrs. Xing cursed in her heart.

Why are you two crying if he's not dead?

He quickly found a little maid to chase Wang Shanbao back.

When Wang Shanbao came in and saw Jia's mother sitting on the bed, he thought she was having a moment of resurgence and cried out in surprise, "Oh no! She's going to come back to life!"

Everyone in the room immediately looked at Wang Shanbao's family and glared at them.

Madam Xing raised her hand and slapped him: "Bullshit! Get out of here!"

Housekeeper Wang Shanbao didn't dare to say anything. She covered her burning face and walked out awkwardly. She happened to meet the sisters Li Wan, Yingchun, and Tanchun who had just come running over.

The three men saw that Wang Shanbao had a strange expression on his face, but they didn't ask any questions and just lowered their heads and went into the house.

When Yingchun thought of Lady Jia's favor in the past, she couldn't help but shed tears.

Tanchun's eyes were also red. She lowered her head and stood obediently beside Lady Jia, not knowing what she was thinking.

Li Wan stood beside Fengjie and asked in a low voice, "How is the old lady?"

Sister Feng said, "I'm feeling better now after taking the medicine."

At this time, Jia She shouted anxiously: "Why hasn't the imperial physician come yet? Go and urge him! If you are late, I will destroy his imperial hospital!"

Everyone remembered the last time when Lady Jia wanted to destroy the Imperial Hospital. They suddenly wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare to, so they could only hold it in.

Soon, Doctor Wang arrived.

At this time, he didn't care about avoiding suspicion. He carefully examined Lady Jia's body and took out a bag of silver needles.

half an hour.

Doctor Wang wiped the sweat from his head.

"Fortunately, I arrived in time. The old lady is no longer seriously injured. She should be able to recover after taking a few more doses of medicine. But you must remember not to get angry in the future."

Jia She naturally expressed his gratitude profusely, ordered someone to pay the medical fee, and carefully instructed everyone to take good care of Jia Zheng. Then he dragged Jia Zheng to a deserted place in the backyard.

Jia Zheng gritted his teeth and shed tears, pointing at Jia She and saying, "It's you, it's you who almost killed my mother!"

Jia She slapped him mercilessly.

"Snapped!"

Jia Zheng was beaten so hard that he spun half a circle and fell to the ground with a buzzing head.

"I am your brother!"

"You dare to point at me?"

In the Jia family, younger brothers are afraid of their older brothers, let alone younger brothers pointing at their older brothers and talking to them, which is truly a heinous crime.

Jia Zheng had nothing to say after being beaten. He just lay on the ground and burst into tears.

Jia She sneered, "Who are you crying for? It's all your fault, you beast. Isn't what Brother Jing said clear enough? Why did you instigate mother to go to the East Palace? Without you, would mother be like this?"

Hearing this, Jia Zheng raised his head and said confidently, "Mother and I are doing this for our family!"

Jia She picked up a whip beside him and started whipping Jia Zheng hard, making Jia Zheng scream.

"what!"

"Big brother."

"Brother, stop"

"It hurts! Stop it!"

After a while, Jia She got tired of whipping and threw the whip aside.

"Rise to prominence? You?"

"I bother!"

"I'm telling you, from now on, take your big jade and stay in the East Courtyard obediently. If you step away, I'll break your legs!"

Jia Zheng: "..."

……

Jia's mother's courtyard.

After everyone left, the dying Grandmother Jia suddenly sat up, startling Yuanyang, who had been serving her.

"Old lady, are you okay?"

Grandmother Jia smiled slightly, her eyes full of wisdom: "I'm fine, you don't have to tell anyone outside."

"Go and call the second master over."

After a while, Yuanyang called Jia Zheng over.

Jia Zheng had changed his clothes by now, and there was no sign of any injuries on him, except that his walking posture was a little strange.

Jia Zheng was also shocked when he first saw Lady Jia.

"Mom, are you okay?"

Grandmother Jia said, "It's nothing!" Suddenly she saw Jia Zheng's face and frowned, "What's wrong with your face? Did that beast hit you?"

Jia Zheng said awkwardly, "Don't blame me, brother. I said the wrong thing."

After saying this, he knelt on the ground again and cried, "Brother said that Baoyu and I can only live in the East Wing Courtyard from now on and cannot come here. I am an unfilial son and cannot serve you!"

Grandmother Jia slapped the edge of the kang and gritted her teeth and said, "He is a rebel!" After a while, she said, "Don't worry, I have my own way!"

Jia Zheng raised his head and asked with hope in his eyes, "Mother, do you have any other ideas?"

Grandmother Jia smiled slightly: "Of course."

"I've lived for more than sixty years. What have I not seen? I've experienced things that are a hundred times worse than this!"

"Just be patient for a few days. I'll go to the palace to see the Queen Mother and settle the matter of the eldest girl. Then we'll see what the East Palace can do!"

Jia Zheng couldn't help but slap his thigh.

He grimaced in pain immediately.

But his heart was rekindled.

Yes!

Mother can meet the Queen Mother!
As long as the Queen Mother nodded, wouldn't the eldest girl's marriage be approved? Then he, the future father-in-law, wouldn't have to be afraid of Jia Jing everywhere.

……

Day two.

Jia She and Lady Xing led a group of wives and old women into the main courtyard of the Rongguo Mansion with ease.

Jia Zheng moved out early.

He didn't want to see his elder brother being arrogant at all.

Mrs. Wang glared at me and said, "I won't move! My daughter is a concubine, who dares to touch me?"

Jia She said nothing and glanced at Madam Xing beside him.

Madam Xing understood immediately, and stepped forward with a sneer, saying, "Dream on! Someone, take her out and send her to the Buddhist temple in the backyard. No one is allowed to let her out without my order!"

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

"You dare to punish me?"

In the past, Jia Jing punished her to go to the Buddhist temple, which was fine, because Jia Jing was the patriarch after all. When would Lady Xing be able to punish her to go to the Buddhist temple?

Aren't they both on the same level?
"Ah!"

Madam Xing sneered, "I am the mistress of Rongguo Mansion. How can I not punish you? Besides, you were originally in there, but you escaped without permission. What's wrong with me punishing you and sending you back?"

"Somebody come!"

Wang Shanbao, who had been slapped yesterday, immediately stepped forward, bowed and said, "Madam!"

Madam Xing waved her hand and said, "Take someone to take Madam Wang to the small Buddhist hall, and you will watch over there yourself!"

"Yes!"

Wang Shanbao's wife agreed with a smile.

"Ma'am, please."

"Don't force me to use force!"

Although she lost a little face yesterday.

Isn’t it coming back again today?

"let me go!"

"I want to go in!"

Suddenly there was a commotion outside.
