The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 151 Aftermath
At the same time Zhang Yunyi left the Rong Mansion, the dispute in Rongqing Hall also came to an end.

Grandmother Jia looked at Madam Wang and said softly, "Well, how can there not be some bumps between husband and wife? After so many years, how can you not know what kind of character he is? In our family, who doesn't have some dignity? It's not a bad thing."

Mrs. Wang said angrily, "But they spread rumors and slandered my daughter-in-law..."

"We can't let the rumormongers go, but we have to put the overall situation first. If we make a big fuss about it now and let outsiders hear something and affect the young lady's reputation, it will be too late to regret it!"

Grandmother Jia loved her youngest son very much. If Jia Zheng were to live in later times, he would be considered a complete mama's boy.

This type of mother has a strong desire to control her son, which makes the already difficult relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law even worse.

Just as Grandmother Jia kept Jia Yuanchun and Jia Baoyu by her side, this kind of control cannot be coveted by others.

The reason why Aunt Zhao was awarded to Jia Zheng and even why she dared to be his exclusive favorite was because of Grandmother Jia's intentions behind it.

However, she also knew that Aunt Zhao had gone too far this time.

Talking about Yuanchun hit Mrs. Wang's soft spot. Although Aunt Zhao was a concubine, she was the biological mother of Tanchun and Jia Huan after all, and it was impossible for her to be beaten and killed at will.

As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. Once the rumor is heard outside, people will inevitably fabricate more gossip. Even if there will be no similar rumors, even if it is just a fight between wives and concubines, it will still affect Yuanchun.

People outside may not care who is right or wrong, they will just treat it as a joke, and she might even be labeled as jealous.

However, it would have been fine if it was Jia Zheng, as the husband is the leader of the wife, but she still felt unwilling to let Aunt Zhao off so easily.

For a moment, I couldn't help but wonder how to punish the offender severely.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was somewhat shaken, Grandmother Jia took advantage of the situation and slapped the armrest of the Luohan bed, yelling at Jia Zheng, "I told you long ago that this is my intention. If you are angry, just vent it on me. Why do you have to vent your anger on her? I think you are just being angry with me. Maybe you are tired of us women. It would be better to leave you!"

After hearing this, Jia Zheng knelt down and said with tears in his eyes, "Mother, how can I, as a son, bear this?"

"Why did I give birth to such a fool like you!"

Grandmother Jia scolded, pointed at Jia Zheng who was kneeling on the ground, and sighed, "A harmonious family is the foundation of everything. The eldest daughter is at a critical moment now. You are her biological parents, and you must not spread any discordant words. In my opinion, you should not go to other rooms for the time being. Stay in your wife's room and wait until the eldest daughter is married before we talk about anything else!"

Fortunately, after this incident, my daughter-in-law has cleared her name, and no one will dare to talk about her again. As for those servants who are rude, I will punish them with a small punishment and a big warning. I will give each of them 20 strokes of the cane first. As for that little bitch who keeps her mouth shut, I will punish her by making her kneel in my yard for a whole night to see what effect she has. "

Although Jia Zheng was indignant, since Lady Jia had already spoken, he did not dare to refute.

All he could do was to respond, "Son, I listen to my mother!"

Although Mrs. Wang was unwilling, on the one hand, she was worried that it would affect Yuanchun's marriage; on the other hand, Lady Jia was also making a concession in disguise.

Seeing that Jia Zheng had already surrendered, she knelt down as well, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "It's not that I don't know the importance of this matter, but I am really upset to have been slandered like this for nothing. Now that the old lady is in charge, I will naturally follow her orders."

Seeing that the two of them had calmed down, Jia's mother waved her hand and said, "Okay! I'm afraid you haven't eaten yet, so go back first!"

After she finished speaking, she shouted outside, "Feng girl! Bring in all those who spread the rumors, and arrange for the personnel to execute them immediately!"

Although Aunt Zhao was hers, she had violated a taboo after all. Bao was only concerned about his own dignity and would not show any mercy in punishing her.

After all, Mrs. Wang had been wronged, so Grandmother Jia specifically asked Wang Xifeng to arrange someone to enforce the family rules in order to appease her.

Wang Xifeng also understood what he meant. Those she sent were all the dowry brought by the Wang family, so she would not go easy on them.

Even though Aunt Zhao was mentally prepared, the twenty strokes of the cane, the freezing cold, and the fact that she had to kneel in Lady Jia's courtyard for a whole night almost killed her.

This is a story for later, so let’s not talk about it for now. But Mrs. Wang followed Jia Zheng and left Rongqing Hall.

Just as he was about to go forward to support him, Jia Zheng was still furious. He suddenly flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, and walked quickly forward.

In front of Lady Jia, he had to give up due to the situation.

But the more you suppress it, the more you have no way to vent the anger in your heart.

Although Aunt Zhao was at fault first, she was a person who inevitably had preconceived impressions of others.

In his eyes, Aunt Zhao was a fool who only knew how to curry favor and fawn on others. On the contrary, Mrs. Wang could have handled the matter in a different way, but she chose to humiliate herself in front of him when Zhang Yunyi came to her house.

He has a narrow mind to begin with, so he tends to judge others by his own standards.

Last time, Mrs. Wang fell in front of Zhang Yun逸, and he angrily scolded her for embarrassing him.

Just think of her as a vindictive person and lose face in front of Zhang Yunyi.

Fortunately, he didn't know that Zhang Yunyi was invited to stay by Aunt Zhao and had a meal with him before leaving.

Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be more other ideas.

Mrs. Wang watched him walk away quickly with a look of disgust on his face, and she felt mixed emotions.

The reason why she kept quiet and approved Lady Jia's arrangement, in addition to Yuanchun, was also because of Lady Jia's words that Jia Zheng was not allowed to stay overnight in another room.

Even without Aunt Zhao, there are still Aunt Zhou and Aunt Li.

Even given Lady Jia's personality, she might give the young maid in the house to her youngest son.

If the competition for favor caused discord between husband and wife, it would be putting the cart before the horse. It was precisely because she saw the essence of the matter that she turned a blind eye to Aunt Zhao.

Although Jia Zheng is not as hot and strong as Zhang Yunyi's branding iron, it is better than nothing.

Besides, they are a respectable couple and have no moral concerns.

I had hoped that he would realize he was in the wrong and try to calm things down, and with Jia's grandmother's mediation, they would put aside their past grudges and live in harmony after returning home.

I never thought that he would give me the cold shoulder as soon as he walked out the door.

However, she never got discouraged. After all, couples may fight at the head of the bed but make up at the foot of the bed. There is always a chance to ease the tension when living under the same roof.

She even hesitated, wondering whether she should just give in to his wishes and let Jinchuan share some of the burden, so as to ease their relationship.

So I didn't force it, but just followed him quietly, planning to wait until dinner time to see how the situation would turn out.

She has already laid the groundwork and done some psychological preparation.

But she didn't expect that when she returned to the courtyard, before she could order dinner, she heard Jia Zheng angrily shouting, "Go and clean up the wing room quickly. Since the old lady won't let us go anywhere else, the master will live in the wing room from now on!"
