The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 474 One breath of life
Rongguo Mansion, east wing, and side hall.

Jia She, who was drunk, boasted: "I am not bragging, but based on our relationship with Yun Yi, the little things of my nephews are not worth mentioning."

At that time in the afternoon, he was still sober and did not dare to make any rash promises.

He drank a lot at the dinner at Ning Mansion that night, and then he went back to his house to have two more dinners with his friends. The alcohol made him bolder, and now he started to talk without restraint.

"If I hadn't heard the Marquis admit it with my own ears, how could I have imagined that the troupe that performed the opera on the Wanshou Festival was actually from the mansion?"

"Hehehe!" Jia She laughed meaningfully, "There are still many things you don't know!"

Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment, and asked tentatively, "That was the son that was born this afternoon, Cun Zhou, right?"

"I think the Marquis is quite kind to him!"

"Why mention him for no reason!" Jia She felt quite disappointed when the second house and Jia Zheng were mentioned.

However, although he was dissatisfied, he could not write two Jia characters with one stroke, so he had to take advantage of the situation when necessary, and said, "Isn't that right? Although the second brother is confused, the others in our mansion are not confused! How could Yun Yi alienate the entire Rongguo Mansion because of him?"

"Today we finally see it!"

"That's not true!" Jia She continued to talk, "To be honest, my grandson was born a while ago, thanks to him running around, being the ginseng man and the midwife... He even gave him the name!"

Since there was someone to take over, Jia She also wanted to name him. Jia Lian himself did not dare to step forward, so he had to bring up Zhang Yunyi.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but stand in awe.

"The relationship between the mansion and the Marquis is indeed extraordinary! No wonder my brother Cunzhou was only dismissed from office. It seems that the rumors outside are true!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present laughed in an obscene manner.

Jia She was confused. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked, "What's the rumor?"

"Isn't it just a rumor in the immortal school..."

"From the Immortal Studies?"

"What? Could it be that Brother Enhou doesn't know yet?"

Seeing Jia She's puzzled expression, the way everyone looked at him also changed slightly.

"If you ask me, Cun Zhou is not confused at all. He is confident and confident, betting on both sides, on one hand he is holding the Marquis, and on the other hand he is betting on Prince Ning and the Zhen family!"

"However, man proposes, God disposes! Who could have thought that the emperor would actually abdicate the throne of King Qin?"

"Fortunately, we have the Marquis to protect us, so it won't get to the point where the Zhen family did!"

Because they felt that Jia She was benefiting from Jia Zheng's influence, these people began to talk to themselves and were not as warm to him as before.

Jia She, who had always been the center of attention, suddenly felt uncomfortable, but he didn't know how to interrupt them as he listened to their charades.

"Oh right! I remember that the young man who was born with a jade in his mouth was born to Madam Cun Zhou, and he was not from the same mother as the illegitimate son in the immortal school. Could it be... there is another hidden story, and the other nephew was not born to the second wife, but to the aunt, and was fostered by her... or?"

Having said this, everyone looked at Jia She with curiosity.

It is common for a man whose wife has no children to raise the son born to her concubine as her legitimate son.

However, this kind of thing is generally not spread outside, so we can only hope that Jia She, an insider, can reveal something.

Jia She had been full of doubts to begin with, and now that he had taken the initiative, he asked, "What kind of riddles are you talking about? What rumors are you talking about?"

"Isn't it just the affair between Cun Zhou's concubine surnamed Zhao and the Marquis..."

"What!" Jia She exclaimed.

He was not surprised by the rumor, but he did not expect that Jia Zheng would not be willing to be outdone.

"We are not making this up! That bastard Cun Zhou himself admitted it, and his words were very convincing. He even considered himself the Marquis' godson."

"That's right! I heard that the Marquis personally sent him some clothes and treated him very kindly. He was also on the list of people who were asked to do meritorious service a while ago."

"I am a little curious. Judging from the age of Cun Zhou's bastard, Aunt Zhao must be in her early thirties. What does she look like to be able to call you Marquis..."

"Maybe the Marquis would like this!"

"Could it be that the young man who was born with a jade in his mouth was also the son of this Aunt Zhao? Otherwise, why would the Marquis be so close to him?" Everyone turned their eyes to Jia She again.

"No!" Jia She denied it flatly, "That's absolutely not the case! Aunt Zhao is still charming, but she doesn't get along with my brother's wife at all!"

"Huh!~" Everyone present stared in astonishment when they heard this.

After a long silence, they looked at each other and said, "We are old acquaintances. When my brother comes back, please remember to call me by my name."

Jia She originally just didn't want to be completely suppressed by the second house, so he told the inside story without reservation.

His eyes were blurry due to drunkenness, and he had not seen the changes in people's expressions before, but now he could hear that the tone of the conversation was not right.

He was of the same ilk as these people, and he understood their thoughts after a little thought.

Unexpectedly, what he said not only failed to dampen the arrogance of the second wife, but instead encouraged it. He felt unhappy.

But one of them said, "There was a rumor about your eldest daughter's marriage to the Marquis a while ago. Cun Zhou is really bold. No wonder the Marquis tried his best to protect it..."

"Bah!" Jia She spat, "What do you know!"

"What do you mean?" Everyone looked gossipy.

"You are right, but it's not my brother's wife, but my second wife..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's jaw dropped.

Seeing everyone's shocked faces, Jia She did not take it as an offense, but instead said complacently: "You can't write two Jia characters with one stroke. If it weren't for my favor, would he care about the life and death of the second brother?"

He and Jia Zheng had always disliked each other, and this time he was implicated by Jia Zheng, suffered an unexpected disaster, and was demoted. He had been holding a grudge for a long time.

However, just because Aunt Zhao had an affair with Zhang Yun逸, Jia Zheng's friends began to look at him in a new light, and he felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.

If you don't return to your hometown when you become rich, it's like walking in fine clothes at night.

Whether it was Mrs. Wang or Aunt Zhao, they were just making groundless accusations, and they both gave Jia Zheng enough momentum.

How could Jia She hold it in any longer?

However, in order to compete with Jia Zheng, he revealed that he sold his wife for fame and fortune, and it is unclear whether he gained face or lost it.

Only they themselves know what they are thinking behind the scenes.

Since he was asking for help in front of Jia She, it was naturally impossible for him to show it.

Not only that, but he flattered her: "No wonder the Marquis asked Brother Enhou to help with the reception. It seems that he doesn't treat you as an outsider!"

"I'd like to ask you to put in a good word for your nephews' admission to school!"

Jia She was drunk and couldn't see the expressions of the people clearly.

Faced with the flattery of the crowd, he was content and enjoyed it very much.

He smiled with his big belly sticking out: "Sure! Sure!"

Seeing his attitude, everyone became bolder and said, "The Marquis is willing to take good care of a concubine's son. I believe it will be even more useful to his sister-in-law. With his sister-in-law helping him to persuade him, the Marquis will definitely give him face!"

"Not only that! To be honest, I have already promised my girl to be his concubine..."

Jia She said proudly, "I told you before, there are still many things you don't know!"

He does not mean that.

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but think of Jia She's previous boasting that Zhang Yunyi was busy running around when his daughter-in-law gave birth, and they couldn't help but add a few more speculations.

He became more and more confused and wondered whether Zhang Yun逸 was friendly to Cao thief.

Jia She lost himself in the act and exposed all his own scandals.

However, all the efforts of Zhang Yun逸 and Jia Mu to cover up the truth were wasted.
