The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 134: Go for it (Happy New Year's Eve)
"Useless! You can't even handle a small matter. It's been so long, and you haven't found out anything about her, let alone her handle. What use is there for the master to have you?"

In the east wing, Jia She slammed the table so hard that it made a loud noise, and gave a scolding to Madam Xing who was standing below him.

Madam Xing was like a punching bag, with a face full of grievances, and she timidly said, "Master, this can't be entirely blamed on me. The mess in the garden was covered by her hands, and she used all the people from her Wang family who came with her as a dowry. Even if there are a few old servants, they are also the likes of Lai Da. They got the lucrative positions themselves, and they can't even cover them up. Who would be willing to burn our cold stove!"

"What do you mean by 'cold stove'? Who are you calling 'cold stove'?" Jia She looked unhappy and trembling with anger. He pointed at Madam Xing and shouted angrily, "I am the head master of the mansion! The title of this mansion is also inherited by the master. How come it becomes a cold stove in your mouth? It's obvious that you are not putting your heart into it!"

"How can I not be attentive?" Madam Xing complained, "To be honest with you, Master, I didn't even dare to act like a mother-in-law. I tried to ask Second Madam Lian for help in arranging some chores for Qin Gui and Wang Shanbao's families, but she refused in every possible way."

She glanced at Jia She's face and complained, "Although it was finally done, they were only assigned to take care of those peasants. How could they get any information? Not only is she on guard against us, she is also slapping us in the face, Master!"

"Idiot! Things like this need to be covered up. Who told you to use our own people?"

"Who else can I use?" Madam Xing blurted out, but she felt that her tone was too blunt, so she quickly tried to make up for it, "How about, Master, can you give me some advice?"

Jia She twirled his long beard and asked in a gentle and persuasive way, "Who do you think hates this aunt and niece the most in the second house?"

"Needless to say? It's Aunt Zhao, of course!"

"Isn't that the end?" Jia She slammed the table and said, "Master, if I remember correctly, the Qian couple are in charge of the accounts in the warehouse? And they are Aunt Zhao's uncle. Have you ever thought of taking this path?"

"Hi!"

Mrs. Xing had been listening attentively, but she seemed to have lost the air after hearing this. She sighed, "You've thought of it all. She..."

At this point, she finally reacted and looked at Jia She anxiously.

Just then, Jia She's eyes were red with anger. He picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at her.

Seeing Jia She's anger, she did not dare to dodge. Fortunately, the blow did not hit her head, but only the soft flesh in front of her body.

Although Jia She did not use any ruthless force and his strength was limited, so it did not hurt too much, but the tea and tea leaves in the cup did splash all over her head and face.

I thought that after being hit like this, Jia She would calm down, but unexpectedly, he still insisted, "Tell me! What do you mean, Master, I can think of everything? Do you think that Master, I can't do anything to her?"

"Master, calm down, it's not..."

Mrs. Xing didn't dare to admit it, but she was also afraid that if she denied it, she would say something bad, which would cause Jia She's dissatisfaction. She was at a loss for words and could only say carefully, "It's really this daughter-in-law who is too cunning and treacherous."

Anyway, saying some bad things about Wang Xifeng would not anger Jia She again.

As he was speaking, a report came from outside.

"Master, Madam, the Second Mistress sent someone to say that Master Zhen from the East Mansion is going to celebrate Master Jing's birthday, and wanted to ask if Master and Madam will go..."

"No!" Jia She was still angry, he flicked his sleeves and shouted.

"No, Master!" Madam Xing winked at Jia She and said to the outside, "Tell him that if Master wants to go, he can go by himself. Second Madam Lian won't have to worry about it!"

"Eh!"

When the footsteps outside faded away, Madam Xing was filled with indignation and said, "Master, look, she doesn't even care about us. I don't believe she only sent one person from the second house."

Although she didn't know how to save Jia She's reputation or calm his anger, she knew how to direct the anger elsewhere.

Although Jia She hated this daughter-in-law to the core, even though she was an elder, Wang Xifeng was still a daughter of the Wang family. Not to mention that she had Wang Ziteng and Madam Wang behind her, she couldn't get past Grandmother Jia. She could only say angrily, "One day, I'll make her realize how powerful the master is!"

In order to avoid embarrassment, he quickly changed the subject and asked, "What did you mean by winking just now?"

Seeing that he changed the subject, Mrs. Xing did not dare to insist on it.

While wiping the water stains and tea leaves off her face, she muttered in a mysterious voice, "Master, although she doesn't bother with us, she is very kind to the East Palace! The lucrative jobs of purchasing actors and making gold and silver utensils are all assigned to her. Why do you think that is the reason?"

"Ok?"

Jia She's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Could it be that she has hooked up with Zhen Ge'er? Great, great! This time we finally have her handle!"

Suspecting that his daughter-in-law was having an affair, he was not angry but happy instead, and he could hardly suppress the smile on his face.

Mrs. Xing saw it all, but she didn't dare to show it. She was also afraid that he would be confused and make a fool of himself, so she had to bite the bullet and explain: "Master, you misunderstood! It's not that she and Zhen'er have anything to do with each other, but she is giving face to Yi'er..."

She glanced at Jia She secretly, and seeing that he didn't seem to be angry, she hurriedly continued, "Master, think about it, the old lady and the second house gave the overall planning task to Yi Ge'er. How can they get around the twists and turns here without him? I'm afraid it has been discussed long ago."

Jia She couldn't help feeling a little discouraged when he heard this.

On the one hand, it was because he failed to find any evidence against Wang Xifeng; on the other hand, it was because he agreed with Mrs. Xing's guess.

Since they have already reached a tacit understanding, I'm afraid the benefits have already been distributed.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful that he didn't follow Mrs. Xing's advice.

However, no matter how much he regretted it, it was impossible for him to admit his mistake. He said stubbornly, "Why? Are you finding fault with the master?"

"How dare I?" Mrs. Xing saw that he was angry and swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Thinking of his original decision, Jia She was a little discouraged. He waved his hand and sighed, "It's too late to say anything now. You should think of a way to see if you can find any sore spot on her."

Hearing this, Madam Xing sensed that Jia She had already shown remorse, and she said cautiously, "Master, I recently heard a rumor outside."

After being tossed around a few times, Jia She lost interest and was no longer as excited as before. He just asked casually, "What rumor?"

"It is said that the deficit of more than 100,000 taels in the East Palace was made up by Brother Yi."

"Ha ha ha..." Jia She squealed like a pig and said in disbelief, "Please tell me more clearly. How much more silver?"

"Ho..."

Mrs. Xing was infected by him and also let out a strange cry. She hurriedly cleared her throat and said, "Ten...hundreds of thousands of taels..."

When Jia She heard this, it was as if the hundreds of thousands of taels were taken from his own pocket. He felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if a blunt knife was cutting his flesh. He could no longer care about being stubborn, and hurriedly said, "Just do as you said last time. As long as he offers the price..."

"Hmm!" He cleared his throat and said, "Just go for it. No matter what, you must help the second girl get married!"
