The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 243 Late arrival
Inside the Grand View Garden.

Mrs. Wang was so disturbed by Zhang Yunyi that she was at a loss and willingly handed over Jin Chuan's indenture.

But last night, Aunt Zhao, who was tormented by him, did not sleep until she woke up naturally like last time.

She called Jia Huan over early in the morning and gave him a lecture.

Then, he lurked near Rong Xi Tang.

After seeing Mrs. Wang hurriedly following Lai Dajie's departure, he returned to the house and gave Jia Huan some more instructions.

After receiving the order, Jia Huan ran to the front yard and sat on the threshold of the second gate.

When Jia Zheng was passing by on his way to the yamen, she suddenly stood up and bumped into his arms.

A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, not to mention that Jia Zheng has nothing to do with the tiger, he is at most a sick cat.

Fortunately, Jia Huan is just a little frozen cat, so he is a equal to him.

However, even so, the collision almost caused Jia Zheng to fall to the ground.

"You're looking for a fight!" He shouted, "Why are you running? Those people with you don't care about you. I don't know where you're going, you're just like a wild horse!"

Jia Huan hurriedly said timidly, "I didn't run away just now. I just heard that a maid in the garden behind jumped into the river. Fortunately, she was rescued, so I ran to see what happened."

"In the garden?"

Jia Zheng felt dazed and asked in surprise, "Who would jump into the river for no reason? There has never been such a thing in my family. Since our ancestors, we have always been kind and gentle to our servants. If outsiders knew about this, how would our ancestors save our reputation? What's more, it happened in the garden!"

Jia Huan hurried forward, grasped Jia Zheng's robe, knelt down and said, "Father, don't be angry. No one knows about this except the people in the Madam's room. I heard my mother say..."

Having said this, he turned around and looked around.

Jia Zheng understood what was meant and glanced at the servants. The servants understood and retreated to the sides.

Jia Huan then whispered, "My mother told me that yesterday, Brother Baoyu was in the Madam's room and tried to rape Jin Chuan, the Madam's maid, but failed. Jin Chuan jumped into the river out of anger."

Before he could finish his words, Jia Zheng was so angry that his face turned pale.

He did not doubt Jia Huan's words.

Aunt Zhao had already passed on the message, and Jin Chuan was already very willing, but she did not dare to take the initiative to throw herself into the arms of Lady Wang because of her consideration for her.

Although it is not clear whether Aunt Zhao told Baoyu to ask him to take the initiative to propose to Mrs. Wang, even if so, it is not a reason for him to force it.

When I thought about how my son almost put a hat on me, how could I hold back my anger?
"Quickly bring Baoyu here!" he shouted, and added, "Just tell him I have something to talk to him about, and don't alarm the old lady! Anyone who dares to pass on the information will be beaten to death!"

As he spoke, he went to the study room and said, "If anyone advises me again today, I will give my hat, belt and belongings to him and Baoyu! I can't avoid being a sinner. I will shave off these troublesome hairs and find a clean place to live. I can also avoid the sin of bringing disgrace to my ancestors and giving birth to a rebellious son."

With Jia Zheng's ugly words in mind, the servant did not dare to say anything more and just followed his instructions to invite Baoyu.

However, although the servants did not dare to say anything, Xiren was still concerned.

Follow all the way.

When Jia Baoyu was brought to Mengpozhai, Jia Zheng's eyes turned red and purple, and he shouted, "Shut up and beat him to death!"

Xiren, who was following behind, didn't bother to listen and ran away immediately.

After leaving Mengpo Zhai, she hesitated for a moment, then went through the Neiyi Gate and ran towards Rongxi Hall.

But when he arrived at Rongxi Hall, he did not see Mrs. Wang. After asking, he found out that she had gone to the garden. She asked someone to pass on the message while rushing to Rongqing Hall.

Jia Zheng, who was in Mengpozhai, had already ordered his servants to press Jia Baoyu down on a stool and hit him with a big board about ten times. Jia Zheng felt that the beating was not light enough, so he kicked the person holding the board away, grabbed it himself, and gritted his teeth and hit him with dozens of blows.

He beat Jia Baoyu until his skin was torn and he was dying, but he still refused to stop. He only stopped for a while when he was exhausted.

He rested for a while, and when he had recovered a little, he picked up the stick and was about to hit Jia Baoyu again, but Mrs. Wang outside had already arrived late.

After all, she is younger and walks faster.

When Mrs. Wang walked in and saw the dying Jia Baoyu, she felt dizzy and almost fainted.

When Jia Zheng saw her, it was like adding fuel to the fire, and the beating came down harder and faster.

Frightened, Mrs. Wang hurried forward and hugged the board.

"Why is this, sir?"

"You still have the nerve to ask me? Don't you know what he did?"

Jia Zheng was furious and asked, "I just want to ask you, why did Jin Chuan have to go to the point of jumping into the river?"

Yingchun and Tanchun, who had come with Mrs. Wang, also followed in.

However, Lin Daiyu, although a little worried, adhered to the principle of not stepping out of the second door and did not come with them. Instead, she went to Jia Mu's room to wait for news.

As for Zhang Yun逸, the director of this great show, he kept his merits and fame to himself. He used the excuse that his clothes were wet, and took Jinchuan and the indenture given by Mrs. Wang and returned to Dengxian Pavilion.

But even if Zhang and Lin were not there, Jia Zheng would not be too embarrassed to talk about his jealousy with his son in front of the younger generation.

Mrs. Wang did not expect that Jia Huan had made such a fuss. She just thought that Jia Zheng knew that Jin Chuan had jumped into the river and was taking his anger out on his son.

Looking at the dying Jia Baoyu, she felt more and more that Jin Chuan could not be kept.

"She's not dead yet, are you asking Baoyu to pay for her life?"

She stiffened her neck and choked, "The man was saved by Brother Yi, and I have given him away. There will be less trouble in the future!"

Tanchun and Yingchun, who were standing by, suddenly showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

When Jia Zheng heard this, he added fuel to the fire. He pushed Mrs. Wang away and started beating her with a stick.

"Kill me first, then kill him, wouldn't that be clean?"

Jia's mother, who arrived later, heard the sound of the board outside the house and shouted without waiting to enter the house.

When Jia Zheng heard his mother's voice, he stopped his momentum, turned around, stepped forward, bowed and smiled, "It's so hot, mother, why are you so angry to come here in person? If you have anything to say, you should just call your son in and tell him."

Grandmother Jia entered the room, stopped to take a breath, and said in a stern voice: "You are talking to me! I have something to tell you, but it's a pity that I didn't raise a good son in my life, so who should I tell it to!"

After hearing this, Jia Zheng knelt down and said, "I teach my son a lesson for the sake of honoring our family. How can I, as a son, bear this?"

When Grandmother Jia heard this, she spat and said, "You can't stand a word I say. How can Baoyu stand the beating you are going to do? You said that teaching your son a lesson will bring honor to the family, but how did your father teach you in the first place?"

At this time, Wang Xifeng and Li Wan also rushed over after hearing the news.

With Jia's mother suppressing Jia Zheng, the maids and wives no longer had any worries and hurried forward to help Baoyu. Fengjie scolded him, "Foolish thing, don't you open your eyes and take a look! You still want to help him walk after he's been beaten like this! Why don't you go in and bring out the rattan stool?"

Everyone then brought a stool, lifted the dying Jia Baoyu and placed him on it, and sent him to Lady Jia's room along with Lady Jia, Mrs. Wang and others.
