Chapter 98: The wife in trouble is worse than the concubine

Chapter 98: The wife in trouble is worse than the concubine
……

Wang’s house, study.

Wang Ziteng smiled and laid out his plan, and Wenfang immediately applauded.

"Great! Your Excellency's plan is truly brilliant!"

"The head of the Jia family forced the daughter of the Wang family to abort her baby. This reason is enough for you to break up with the Ningguo Mansion, and it is also enough to minimize the negative impact of your change of family background."

"Everyone will know by then that the master decided to turn against the Ningguo Mansion because the girls in the clan were bullied in the Jia Mansion!"

Wang Ziteng smiled faintly: "This is not enough!"

Wenfang was surprised and asked, "Does your Excellency have a backup plan?"

"That's natural!"

Wang Ziteng took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Jia Jing has evil ambitions and is trying to annex Rongguo Mansion. How could Mrs. Shi, who has lived for so many years, not see this? He just lacks a suitable excuse to fight back. I will give him this excuse."

Wenfang asked doubtfully, "But she is just an old lady after all. I'm afraid she can't be of any use, right?"

Wang Ziteng said: "Don't think that the old lady is useless. In the past, she could enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother. If she was really pushed to the limit, she would risk her old face to go to the palace to file a complaint against Jia Jing. Let's see if he can still have the face to continue to be the head of the clan, haha, ha..."

Wang Ziteng seemed to see Jia She's disgrace.

Wenfang stood up and bowed deeply to Wang Ziteng: "Your Excellency's strategy is as good as Zhuge Liang's. I am ashamed to be inferior to him..."

"Humph!"

Wang Ziteng's face suddenly changed color, and he sneered, "Plot? Are you saying I'm vicious? I even plotted against my own niece?"

Wenfang was startled, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Excellency has misunderstood. As the saying goes, those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters. Besides, I didn't really harm her. It's just an unborn child. The girl is still young. Do you have as much as you want in the future?"

"Sir, do you really think so?" Wang Ziteng asked, staring closely.

Wenfang raised her hand and swore, "If I say anything against my will, God will strike me with lightning!"

Wang Ziteng sighed.

"I believe sir!"

"Now, Master and I share the same fate. Master, you must help me well and don't have any second thoughts!"

Wenfang was sweating profusely, but she didn't dare to wipe it off. She just said carefully, "I will follow you till death, sir."

Only then did Wang Ziteng laugh.

"Actually... I have no choice but to do this. If there is really another way, why would I risk the safety of the women in my clan?"

……

Rongguo Mansion.

Mrs. Wang was suddenly punished by the clan leader to go to a small Buddhist temple. Apart from a few chambermaids, the most nervous ones were naturally the personal maids.

Especially Jinchuan'er and Yuchuan'er. As for Caiyun and Xiaxia, they had already gone to the east courtyard happily to report the good news.

"Sister, what did you do just now?" Yuchuan'er asked gloomily while sitting on the bench at the door, fanning herself.

Jin Chuan'er was not too happy either. She pouted and said, "That damn girl from the Wang family came. I took my wife to see her. The two of them chased me aside and said something sneaky. I watched from a distance and she gave my wife something. She didn't look like a good person."

Yuchuan'er frowned: "Why would she come to give you something at this critical moment? Didn't I hear that Master Wang and Master Dongfu had a falling out?"

"Who knows?" Jin Chuan'er sat beside her, snatched the fan from her sister's hand, and shook it, saying, "Now the Madam has been punished to go to the small Buddhist temple in the backyard to worship Buddha. This will soon be the Madam's territory. What should we do? Do we have to follow her to the small Buddhist temple in the backyard to serve her?"

The two sisters followed the lady to enjoy happiness, not to go to the small Buddhist temple to suffer!

Yuchuan'er couldn't help but shudder: "I heard that someone died in the small Buddhist temple in the backyard, and it's haunted at night!"

"what!"

Jin Chuan'er jumped up and hit her sister on the head with her fan: "Don't talk nonsense, silly girl. I have been here for so many years and I have never heard anyone say that anyone has died in the small Buddhist temple."

"real!"

Yuchuaner swore, "It was Aunt Liu who told me this afternoon that a young concubine had died in the small Buddhist temple in the backyard. She was hanged."

"You believe what Granny Liu says? Even a sow can climb a tree!"

"But what she said was true. The female ghost was dressed in red, had small feet, a tongue this long, hair this long, nails this long, eyes this big, dripping with blood, and a bloody mouth..."

"What are you two talking about!"

A gloomy voice suddenly sounded in their ears.

"what!"

Both sisters were startled.

"You stupid girl, what are you screaming about!" Mrs. Wang already had some suspicion in her mind and was almost frightened to death by the screams of the two.

Jin Chuan'er hurriedly dropped her fan, stood up and saluted, saying, "Madam, we... are worried about you."

Yuchuan'er also stood up and said, "Yes, we are all worried about Madam tonight... Where is Madam staying?"

Mrs. Wang was in no mood to argue with the two little maids at this time. She went into the house and said, "Of course I'm still living here. Jin Chuan'er, go and call Feng to come over. I have something to ask her."

Moving would take more than one or two days, and at least a day had to be chosen. Perhaps before she moved out, Dongfu would... She watched him build a tall building, watched him entertain guests, and watched his building collapse!
Jin Chuan'er agreed and went to call someone.

Yuchuaner stayed to serve Mrs. Wang.

After a while, Caiyun and Xia came back quietly and were seen by Mrs. Wang at a glance.

"Where have you two been, you idiots? Did you see that I was punished by the tribe leader to go to the small Buddhist temple, and you wanted to find a better partner?"

The two of them knelt on the ground together: "No, no, we are willing to serve the madam forever."

"Humph!"

Mrs. Wang naturally knew what the two had done. She secretly hated them and sneered, "I'm telling you two, even if I go to the small Buddhist temple, I'm still your wife. I still have Baoyu, who is not comparable to that lowly concubine!" After that, Mrs. Wang waved her hand in annoyance, "You two go and call that lowly concubine to come and behave!"

"Yes."

The two did not dare to refute and hurried to Aunt Zhao's yard.

"What? You want me to follow the rules?"

Aunt Zhao almost laughed.

The outdated concubines in the harem are useless, not to mention the outdated wives. "Just say I have to serve the master and I don't have time to go."

Caiyun: “…”

pink clouds:"……"

"What should I do? I'll be scolded when I go back."

"So, you're not going back?"

……

Let’s talk about Jia Rong. After discussing with Xue Ke, he went directly to the east wing of the West Mansion.

All the maids, wives, old women and servants here, big and small, were proud and happy.

"Uncle Rong is here!"

When the maids saw Jia Rong, they hurried to invite him in. When Mrs. Xing heard about it, she went to the door to greet him. When they saw each other, she stepped forward and grasped Jia Rong's hand, saying affectionately, "Rong'er, we are a family. You should come here more often."

Jia Rong calmly withdrew his hand, kept his distance from Mrs. Xing, and said with a smile, "I will definitely come often in the future. Is the master home?"

Mrs. Xing smiled and said, "It's right inside. Rong'er, come in and have some tea."

Go inside.

The first thing that caught his eye was a dozen concubines and maids dressed in gorgeous clothes, and Jia Rong felt a little unhappy.

Overstepped!
The young cabinet minister only has nine concubines!

Jia She naturally didn't understand what Jia Rong was thinking, so he stood up and walked over to him, took Jia Rong to sit, and said with a smile: "Brother Rong has come here with great difficulty, we grandfather and grandson should have a good drink!"

As he spoke, he ordered the maidservant beside him to pour some wine. As the maidservant poured the wine, she would occasionally glance at Jia Rong with a meaningful look.

No wonder Jia Lian couldn't resist the temptation.

Jia Rong pretended not to see it and said with a smile: "I have some important matters to discuss with the master. They..."

Jia She understood immediately and said to Mrs. Xing, "Take them away. Rong Ge'er and I have something important to discuss."

"Yes, sir."

Mrs. Xing was very obedient and hurriedly led a dozen concubines out the door.

Jia She smiled and said, "Does Brother Jing have something to tell you? Rong'er, just tell me!"

Now when Jia Jing asks him to eat fart, he will go obediently.

They were all family members, so Jia Rong didn't bother beating around the bush and went straight to the point: "It's not a big deal. Didn't our old master leave many personal soldiers in the manor? I want to use these people."

Jia She clapped his hands and said, "I thought it was nothing, but some grooms to take care of the horses. If Rong'er needs them, just take them all."

The master is really generous!

Jia Rong smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite. I will pay to recruit people to fill the vacancies in the manor."

Jia She said happily: "You still have to study, how can I trouble you to recruit people? Just give me the money and I will order Lian'er to find someone!"

"it is good."

Jia Rong drank a glass of wine to deal with it, then stood up and apologized, saying, "I won't disturb you, Master. I'll have someone bring the money tomorrow."

Jia She was so happy that his face was beaming with joy. He pulled Jia Rong aside and said, "Let's have a few more drinks."

Jia Rong smiled and declined: "Grandpa has told me to go back to school."

"Oh, that's fine."

After hearing this, Jia She no longer tried to keep Jia Rong and personally sent him to the door of the house.

"Master, please stay."

"Brother Rong, take care."

After leaving the east wing, Jia Rong was about to go back to study when a maid suddenly ran out and stopped him.

"Master, our grandmother would like to thank you for your help today. We have prepared a banquet and would like to invite you to come over for a drink." Ping'er said with a smile as beautiful as a flower.

"No need, it's all as it should be."

To be honest, Jia Rong didn't actually beg for mercy.

Jia Lian was beaten so badly that he probably had to lie in bed for a hundred days.

Ping Er begged, "Master, please have mercy on us maids. Madam said that she would not let me go home unless you invite Weiyou."

Jia Rong smiled and said, "That's perfect. Just come back with me."

Ping Erh was slightly pleased, stamped her feet and said angrily, "Master, please don't make fun of me. If I really go there, you can chase me away."

"I only accept people, I never chase them away."

Jia Rong knew that Feng Ji wanted to arrange people to go to the East Palace in order to find a way out.

After all, the Wang family is no longer reliable.

Miss Ping'er, it's very difficult for him to refuse.

The main reason was that he lacked an accountant. Logically, Yuanyang would be the most suitable person, but unfortunately the girl was too stubborn.

"Are you serious, sir?" Ping'er blushed and lowered her head to her chest.
