Red Mansion, Ningfu Scholarly Family

Chapter 290: Concubine Nan'an: This child is really filial
……

"Worship heaven and earth."

"Two thanks to the high hall."

"Husband and wife bow to each other."

"Sent into the bridal chamber..."

When worshiping heaven and earth, Yuanchun knew that her family had been deceived. This was not a marriage at all, it was clearly a wedding to a living dead person.

How bold she is to deceive the Jia family into marriage!

Is there no one in the Jia family who bullies them?

"Girl, we can't just let this matter go!" Baoqin looked at the motionless living dead 'son-in-law' on the bed and said hatefully with gritted teeth.

After all, Yuanchun had seen big scenes in the palace, so she quickly calmed down.

Of course we can't just let it go like this, but we can't rashly look for trouble either.

"Baoqin, don't make a scene yet. We are powerless in the palace. If we make a scene, we will suffer. We can think of a solution after we return to our parents' home."

"Okay girl."

Baoqin nodded sensibly and kicked her brother-in-law who looked like he was dead on the bed.

As expected, there was no response, a living dead.

Yuanchun whispered, "Be careful not to be seen by the people watching outside."

Baoqin chuckled and said, "Don't worry, girl. I will kick him quietly and no one will be found out. If we are wronged in the future, we can come back and punish him."

Who told you that you can't speak? If not you, who should I hit?

"Dong dong."

There was a knock at the door.

"Who?"

Baoqin frowned and asked.

A little girl hurriedly said, "Grandma, I am Xiaodie, the young master's maid, and I am here to help you take medicine."

Yuanchun winked at Baoqin, who immediately understood. She smiled, went to open the door, and welcomed the person in: "Sorry to bother you, sister, to bring me medicine so late at night."

Xiaodie hurriedly said, "It's not a bother. This is what I should do." Then she stepped forward to greet Yuanchun and said, "I greet the Second Madam."

Yuanchun smiled and said, "No need to be polite. Xiaodie, how long have you been serving me?"

Xiaodie thought for a moment and said, "To answer grandma's question, I have served you for more than three years."

"Are you the only one serving your son-in-law?" Baoqin asked immediately.

Xiaodie expertly helped the living dead man up and fed him medicine while saying, "And Sister Xiaosu, she went home today."

"Oh...is our master sick? When did he become like this?" Baoqin saw that Xiaodie seemed easy to talk to, so she directly asked the doubts in her heart.

Xiaodie shook her head and said seriously, "I'm not sick. I fell while riding a horse yesterday. The doctor said I'll be fine after taking two doses of medicine. Don't worry, grandma."

Open your eyes and tell lies.

This girl looks honest, but she is actually very cunning. Yuanchun secretly gave Baoqin a look, and Baoqin immediately understood and accidentally left a big gold bracelet next to Xiaodie.

I don't believe there is a maid who is not greedy for money. All the maids in the palace are greedy for money.

Xiaodie's eyes lit up and she quietly put it away. This big gold bracelet could at least cover her monthly income for several years.

At one point, Xiaodie finished serving the medicine and was ready to leave. Baoqin stood in front of the door and smiled, saying, "Don't be in a hurry to leave. Grandma suddenly lost her gold bracelet just now. Now you are the only one coming in. Is it okay for us to search you?"

"Ah, I, no..."

Xiaodie suddenly panicked.

"Hehe, don't think you can bully our girl just because someone is backing you up. You're just a maid, and our girl has the support of Lord Jia. If things really get out of hand, you'll be the first one to be beaten to death!" Baoqin glared and said viciously.

"I dare not, grandma, please spare my life." Xiaodie was so scared that her face turned pale and she knelt down.

She knew very well what kind of person her wife was. If a quarrel really broke out between the two sides, she would definitely make her disappear without anyone noticing in order to calm things down.

Yuanchun took a sip of tea, smiled gently, and personally went over to help Xiaodie up: "Don't be afraid, Xiaodie, don't listen to her nonsense."

After saying that, he glared at Baoqin.

Baoqin quickly admitted her fault and said, "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have scared Miss Xiaodie." Then she turned to Xiaodie and said, "Don't be afraid, Sister Xiaodie. Our lady is the most kind and merciful. As long as you admit your fault, not only will you not be punished, but you will also be rewarded."

There is a reward? Xiaodie's eyes lit up slightly as her face turned pale. Yuanchun understood and nodded slightly to Baoqin.

Baoqin went into the room and took out a handful of gold ingots, smiling and saying, "Don't be afraid, sister. I want to ask you something. If you tell me in detail, not only will the bracelet be fine, but all these will be yours too."

The little girl thought about it for a moment and knew what to choose.

I worked hard as a maid and only earned one or two taels of silver a month. Now the new mistress gave me several taels of gold all of a sudden. There was no doubt that I would be loyal to her.

"If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. I will tell you everything I know."

"Very good, let me ask you, how long have you been ill? Please tell me in detail." Baoqin asked in a low voice with a serious expression.

Xiaodie whispered, "My master fell off his head while riding a horse half a year ago. The doctor said he might recover soon, or it might take many years..."

"What are you old ladies going to do with our girl?"

"The old lady said that if grandma is obedient, it's fine, but if she's not obedient, she'll be locked up."

A quarter of an hour later.

Yuanchun already knew everything she wanted to know. Although this girl might not have told the whole truth, most of it was definitely true. She had been in the palace for so many years and was very good at judging people.

You are such a good Concubine Nan'an, you actually dared to marry me in to bring good luck.

Look at how I clean up your house!
"Miss, what should we do? Should we take the opportunity to tell the old lady directly when we return home? With the Master of the East Palace, the Nan'an Palace won't dare to go too far."

"No!"

Yuanchun shook her head: "Even if I go back, my reputation will be ruined and it will bring shame to the family."

Baoqin stamped her feet and said anxiously, "What should we do? Should we just accept our fate?"

"Accept your fate?" Yuanchun sneered, "Of course not."

"The skills I learned from the Empress over the years were not useful in the palace, but they are more than enough to be used in the palace."

"I want to... take control of the Nan'an Palace! And become the Crown Prince's consort!"

Baoqin's eyes lit up and she became excited.

These girls have the ability to do so, and they also have the support of the Jia family, so it may not be impossible for them to achieve their goal in the future!

"But we are only the second branch, and the master is still like this. How can we become the prince's concubine..." Baoqin suddenly remembered something and said with great concern.

Yuanchun smiled slightly, looking very gentle and virtuous. She took a sip of tea and said with a faint smile: "When the people in the first house are dead, won't the title belong to the second house?"

Concubine Nan'an, let me show you how powerful the daughters of my Jia family are!

"From now on, we must serve the master carefully, be filial to the Concubine Nan'an and mother-in-law, and not be negligent in the slightest, understand?" Yuanchun reminded.

Baoqin was excited: "Girl, I know!"

……

The next morning.

Yuanchun got up early and washed up. She didn't put on heavy makeup, just a little light makeup, and brought her harp to offer tea to Concubine Nan'an and her mother-in-law.

"Ancestor, have some tea."

Yuanchun knelt down respectfully and saluted.

The Nan'an Concubine was very satisfied with Yuanchun's filial attitude and smiled and said, "Good boy, Kang'er accidentally fell off his horse and was injured the day before yesterday. I'm sorry to have wronged you temporarily, but I believe he will get better soon."

Yuanchun's eyes suddenly filled with tears: "It's my fault. I caused my husband to be injured right after I entered the house. Grandfather, rest assured, I will be honest and do my duty, take care of my husband wholeheartedly, and be filial to Grandfather and mother-in-law."

"Haha."

Everyone laughed happily.

I can only say that the family education in the Jia family is indeed good.

Not only is the newly crowned top scholar Jia Rong a well-known filial son, but the eldest daughter Yuanchun is also willing to serve the living dead and be filial to her ancestors without any complaints. She is definitely a model of a filial daughter.

Seeing everyone laughing happily, Yuanchun also smiled in her heart.

Laugh, laugh.

There are times when you can't laugh.
