The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 432: Shocked
Due to poor health, he sent relevant personnel to inspect Jiangnan to appease the court.

Emperor Zhengqing rested for several days in a row, and it was not until mid-June that he felt a little more energetic. Zhou Xiangui also handed over Zhang Yun逸's secret memorial in due time.

"What a Rongguo Mansion! It's really like the top beam is not straight and the bottom beam is crooked. No wonder Jia Zheng is so shameless and adds insult to injury to Zhang Aiqing!"

Passing inferior goods off as good ones is the next best thing, but Jia Mu knew that the ginseng had problems but used it to deceive the Xue family, which is exactly the same as Jia Zheng's behavior of stabbing someone in the back.

"How dare you take ginseng that has lost its medicinal properties and pass it off as good quality, disregarding human lives!"

Emperor Zhengqing slammed the dragon table and shouted, "Little noble son, you go to Rongguo Mansion immediately and give Jia Shishi a good beating for me... Tell her to see the effect later!"

In fact, the best way to crack down on the Rongguo Mansion is to issue an imperial edict from Lady Jia.

However, this would inevitably seem like making a fuss out of nothing. In addition, Emperor Zhengqing was somewhat in the wrong regarding Yuanchun's marriage, so in order to avoid causing controversy, he did not make a big fuss about it.

"Yes!" Zhou Xiangui immediately accepted the order.

"Wait! Let's go to Shuntian Prefecture and ask them to enforce the law impartially and not implicate innocent people!"

He had previously instructed Zhang Yunyi to control the Rongguo Mansion, and Zhang Yunyi secretly reported Lady Jia's mistakes. He only thought that Zhang Yunyi was helpless in the face of Lady Jia's abuse of seniority and was asking him for help.

The reason why the Xue family was mentioned was not because I saw that Zhang Yunyi was making excuses for the Xue family and was giving him face.

Rather, it was because the Xue family's experience was the same as Zhang Yunyi's, both of them were stabbed in the back by the Rongguo Mansion, and Emperor Zhengqing loved the family and mentioned it as well.

If before this, Zhang Yun逸 might have been able to forgive Jia Zheng's betrayal, but after this secret letter, it was obviously not the case.

Even if the emperor had not given an oral order, Zhou Xiangui would not have smiled at the Rongguo Mansion. Now that he had received an oral order, he would not have had a good face at all.

In Rongguo Mansion, he said arrogantly to Jia Mu and others who were kneeling on the ground: "You are a noble family and a relative of the country, but you actually did such a thing of passing inferior goods off as good ones and disregarding human lives. If it weren't for your meritorious service to the country in your early years, I would definitely punish you severely. I will not punish you this time, but wait and see. If there is a next time..."

Having said that, Zhou Xiangui looked around, snorted coldly, and walked away.

"Eunuch Zhou!"

Jia Lian hurriedly chased after her. Just as he fumbled around in her arms, he heard a cry of surprise from behind him: "Grandfather! Old Madam!"

He was startled and looked back, only to see Madam Xing and Madam Wang holding the almost fainted Lady Jia on their left and right.

While he was distracted, when he looked back, Zhou Xiangui had disappeared.

He could only shake his head and turn around to check on Lady Jia's condition.

Everything else is fine, but the power of the four words "see what happens next" is too great.

Others are still unaware of the hidden truth, but Grandmother Jia knows it very well. The so-called consequences depend on whether one knows what is best for one's life and is willing to admit defeat and submit.

Everyone carried the almost fainted Lady Jia back to Rongqing Hall and pinched her Ren Zhong and tiger's mouth in a panic.

As soon as Grandmother Jia recovered from her shock, she pushed aside the crowd that had gathered around her and shouted to Yuanyang, "Quick! Go and invite Brother Yi over!"

She didn't even bother to blame the Xue family for selling her out.

Of course, because she didn't know, Aunt Xue didn't tell Xue Pan and his servants the origin of the ginseng, thinking that it could not withstand the torture.

Because she didn't know that Zhang Yunyi knew the secret of ginseng, she didn't suspect that he was the one behind it.

No one was killed, so even if fake ginseng was sold, it would not reach the ears of the authorities.

This also implicitly confirmed that the emperor was indeed intent on finding any flaws in the Rongguo Mansion.

"The old lady's health is very important..." Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang hurriedly advised.

"Asshole! It's already so late, go and ask him to come over, I won't die yet!"

Although Mrs. Wang didn't know what happened after she left, she knew that Zhang Yunyi had not come to visit her again after he came to question her. It was estimated that they had left on bad terms. Jia's mother was probably trying to give in, and Mrs. Xing thought that she wanted to ask Zhang Yunyi to plead for her, so she stopped trying to stop her. Yuanyang didn't dare to hesitate and hurried to Ningguo Mansion.

After waiting in the side hall for a while, she saw Zhang Yunyi slowly walk in. Yuanyang bowed deeply and said, "Master Yi! The old lady invites you to come over!"

"Please let me go over?" Zhang Yunyi slowly came to the chair and sat down. After a moment's hesitation, he asked instead of answering, "What's the matter?"

After a slight hesitation, Yuanyang recounted in detail how Zhou Xiangui had come to convey the emperor's oral instructions.

It's not that she's selling out her master for fame and fortune.

However, although it was Jia Zheng who stabbed the man with the knife, he was, after all, the second master of the Rongguo Mansion.

She observed Zhang Yunyi's expression and saw that his attitude was neither warm nor cold. She was worried that if she downplayed it, he might not be willing to visit her.

Only by truthfully explaining the seriousness of the situation can we hope to touch his sympathy.

However, how could she have imagined that Zhang Yunyi was the culprit who caused this situation.

Now that he has the initiative, he would be lucky enough not to be arrogant. How could he go over there happily and please Grandmother Jia?

He tapped the handle of the chair with his fingers, secretly delighted in his heart, but said, "Please go back and tell the old lady that I always keep my word. Since I said I would wait until the matter is settled, I will wait until then."

When Yuanyang heard this, she became anxious and knelt down with a plop and said, "Master Yi! The old lady..."

Zhang Yunyi was unmoved and raised his hand to interrupt Yuanyang: "There is no rush for things in the mansion. I am doing this for the good of the mansion. I have to let the old lady know the consequences so that she will give up and not regret it later!"

He paused, then continued, "Just go back and report my words truthfully!"

At this point, taking Yuanchun as a concubine was obviously not enough to satisfy him. Instead, he had to get Lady Jia's tacit approval so that he could act tyrannically in the Rongguo Mansion.

Just from the fact that she sent Yuanyang over, it was clear that although Grandmother Jia was nervous, she still maintained her composure.

Zhang Yunyi simply gave her some more energy and left her alone for a while.

Only when the case in Jiangnan was concluded and someone was beheaded, would Lady Jia be able to put aside her bottom line and dignity for the survival of the Rongguo Mansion.

Seeing that he was so determined, Yuanyang had no choice but to say goodbye and go back to report.

After returning to Rongqing Hall, Grandmother Jia hurriedly looked behind Yuanyang.

Seeing her coming back alone, the disappointment and regret on his face were beyond words.

Wait for Yuanyang to report Zhang Yun逸's words truthfully.

Grandmother Jia breathed a sigh of relief, finally there was still room for maneuver.

Mrs. Wang, who knew the whole story, had a look of sadness on her face.

She hated Jia Zheng so much in her heart, for wanting to be a whore and a virtuous woman at the same time. It was obvious that he had taken the initiative to send himself to Zhang Yunyi's bed in order to save face in front of his colleagues.

When Zhang Yun逸 helped him to be transferred and promoted, he turned against Zhang Yun逸 and blamed him.

How can there be eggs under the cover of the nest?

She didn't know the content of the secret conversation between Jia's grandmother and Zhang Yun逸. Jia Zheng's own trouble was a small matter, but the big matter was that he implicated the whole family.

Mrs. Xing, who was standing by, looked at Grandmother Jia in astonishment and asked, "What conclusion? Old lady, what's going on?"

Grandmother Jia waved her hands impatiently and sighed, "Forget it! I'm tired, you all go down!"
