Red Mansion: After being expelled from the family, I was granted the title of Marquis of Mobei

Chapter 77 Husband and wife follow each other and crush

Jia Jue looked at the two ladies calmly and said.

"Okay, both of you stop being so angry."

"It is the norm in the world to praise the famous and criticize the unfavorable. It has been like this since ancient times."

"This time, I led my troops into the Ministry of Justice and killed the Chief Censor Yang Lin."

"Logically speaking, this is a secret of the Ministry of Justice and shouldn't have been leaked out so quickly."

"Now it seems that someone is deliberately spreading this news."

Zhang Guifen said with some shock after hearing this.

"My dear husband, are you saying that the Empress and the Crown Prince are still harboring evil intentions and are trying to manipulate the court situation to pressure Your Majesty to severely punish me?"

Jia Jue waved his hand and said.

"It shouldn't have been done by the Crown Prince and the Empress."

"Your Majesty is determined to protect me this time, otherwise he wouldn't have scolded me in the Qianqing Palace."

"The Crown Prince and the Empress must be aware of His Majesty's attitude."

"Whatever little tricks they had before were all based on His Majesty's unclear attitude."

"If they still dare to do this after Your Majesty has made his position clear, they are challenging Your Majesty's majesty."

"First, they don't have the ability, and second, they don't have the courage."

"It must be someone else who spread this news."

Zhang Guifen said with some doubt.

"Who else could it be? Apart from them, who else would want to harm my husband?"

Jia Jue said with a chuckle.

"That's a lot. After all, I've offended quite a few people, such as the Ning and Rong families, and those who have interests in the Jiangnan Salt Administration."

"For example, the Four Kings. Before I knew it, most of the court had become people who had grudges against me. It's interesting, really interesting."

Sheng Minglan said helplessly.

"Husband, my sister and I are so worried, how can you still smile?"

Jia Jue hugged the two ladies and said firmly.

"Don't worry, even if the Great Zhou no longer exists, our family will definitely live well."

"This is my promise to you two as a husband."

"Remember, even if the world turns upside down, I can still hold up the sky with one hand and protect my family."

"Okay, don't think too much, let's talk about big sister."

Zhang Guifen said after thinking for a while.

"Husband, this is a time of great turmoil. It's inconvenient for you to go out, lest you cause more trouble."

"I'll go back to the British Mansion tomorrow. That Zhongqin Bo is not a big shot. I can talk to my father or brothers and they can solve this problem."

Sheng Minglan hurriedly said after hearing this.

"Sister, how can I let you trouble my parents because of the Sheng family's affairs?"

Zhang Guifen said with a gentle smile.

"We are a family, it's nothing."

Jia Jue waved his hand and said.

"No need, I'm just a humble and diligent man, why would I need to alarm my father-in-law?"

"Even if there is some trouble in the Marquis' Mansion now, it is not something that a mere insignificant and impoverished earl like him can provoke."

"Tomorrow I will send a team of personal soldiers to accompany Big Sister to the Duke of Zhongqin's residence to get the child back."

"As for the rest, I have my own plans. Don't worry, within three days at most, the Zhongqin Marquis's family will be kneeling outside the Marquis's mansion, begging for mercy."

Sheng Minglan said after hesitating for a moment.

"My dear, this is a time of great turmoil. I'm afraid this will cause further trouble."

Jia Jue smiled and said.

"It is precisely because these are troubled times that I must strike hard at the Zhongqin Marquis's Mansion."

"Just imagine, if even a mere Earl of Zhongqin dares to disregard the majesty of the Marquisate, then those who have grievances against the Marquisate will surely flock to it and have evil intentions towards it."

"This time, we must destroy the Marquis Zhongqin's Mansion with one blow, so that those with ill intentions will know that the Marquis Guanjun's Mansion is not something that can be provoked by just any Tom, Dick, or Harry."

Hearing this, Sheng Minglan and Zhang Guifen looked at each other, and then stood beside Jia Jue with firm eyes.

Zhang Guifen looked at Jia Jue and said.

"My husband is the master of the Marquis' Mansion, and my husband."

"Since my husband has made his decision, my sister Minglan and I will naturally support him."

"Since the day we married into the Marquis's mansion, my honor and my sister's disgrace have been one with our husband."

"Just go ahead and do it, my husband. No matter what happens, we will be with you."

Sheng Minglan nodded in agreement.

Looking at the two virtuous ladies in front of him, Jia Jue couldn't help but hold their hands and said.

"How could Jia Jue be so worthy of such a life? To have two ladies accompanying him and never leaving him is enough for him."

"Madam, don't worry. For you and the whole family, I will hold on to this world."

The two girls nodded obediently, and then hugged Jia Jue on the left and right. The three couples were in great harmony at this time.

The next morning, in the mansion of Marquis Zhongqin, his wife and daughter-in-law Zhang were happily counting Sheng Hualan's dowry.

After they sent the divorce letter yesterday afternoon, the Sheng family did not respond at all. This made the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law feel that the Sheng family must be very weak. Without the support of the Guanjun Marquis Mansion, they could only swallow their bitterness and could not say anything.

Just as the two were happily planning how to use these assets, the maid came into the hall in a hurry.

"Madam, Madam, something bad has happened. Something terrible has happened."

Seeing this, the wife of the Earl of Zhongqin couldn't help but frown.

"What's wrong? What happened? Looking at you like this, you must have seen a ghost."

The little maid hurriedly said.

"Madam, the Second Young Mistress has brought over a hundred soldiers into the mansion, beating everyone and smashing everything they see. They're almost at the back hall now."

"what!"

The wife of the Earl of Zhongqin stood up in shock.

"How dare she, how dare she, hurry up, take me over to see it."

The little maid then took the wife of the Earl of Zhongqin and the eldest daughter-in-law Zhang out of the hall.

At this time, in a courtyard at the backyard of the Zhongqin Marquis's mansion, Sheng Hualan saw her daughter Zhuang Jie'er in front of her and couldn't stop crying.

It had been just over half a month since Sheng Hualan left the Yuan family, but Sister Zhuang had become much thinner.

When Zhuang Jie'er saw Sheng Hualan, she burst into tears the instant she saw her, then threw herself into Sheng Hualan's arms and said.

"Mom, mom, why did you come just now? They all bullied me, saying that I was a bad woman and that I didn't want me anymore."

Sheng Hualan felt very sad when she heard this, and patted her daughter's back gently and said.

"How could mother not want you? Don't worry, mother will never abandon you again."

After gently patting Zhuang Jie'er on the back, she couldn't help but hiss. Sheng Hualan noticed something was wrong and asked with concern.

"Zhuang'er, what's wrong with your back?"

Sister Zhuang said after hesitating for a moment.

"My aunt said my mother was a bad woman, and I talked back to her. Then she had me beaten."

When Sheng Hualan heard this, her eyes turned red with anger.

Just at this time, the wife of the Earl of Zhongqin and the eldest daughter-in-law Zhang also came over.

Zhang said this very aggressively.

"Sheng Hualan, what do you want to do? Are you crazy?"

"You've been divorced by the mansion, yet you still dare to bring people to cause trouble? Do you believe me?"

Before Zhang could finish her words, Sheng Hualan rushed over, grabbed Zhang's hair and started fighting.

Sheng Hualan has been tolerating Zhang for a long time. Over the years, her mother-in-law, Lady Zhongqin, has been causing her troubles, but her sister-in-law has also been adding fuel to the fire.

Now he even dared to hit his own daughter. New and old grudges were intertwined, and Sheng Hualan lost her mind in an instant.

Sheng Hualan's combat effectiveness in the explosive state is simply too high.

Sheng Hualan's eyes were wide open, and she, who was usually dignified and gentle, was now full of ruthlessness.

She suddenly rushed towards Zhang, grabbed Zhang's bun with her hands like pliers, and pulled hard. With a "hiss", several strands of Zhang's hair were pulled out. The severe pain from her scalp made Zhang scream like a pig being slaughtered.

Zhang was not to be outdone. She stretched out her hands and scratched Sheng Hualan's face with her nails like sharp blades.

Sheng Hualan dodged sideways cleverly and kicked Zhang in the knee.

Zhang's knees went weak and she fell to her knees on the ground with a plop.

But she still did not give up resistance, struggled to get up, and rushed towards Sheng Hualan.

Sheng Hualan was prepared and pushed hard with both hands. Zhang flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, fell heavily to the ground, and raised a cloud of dust.

Zhang's hair was in disarray, with strands flying wildly, and her face was filled with fear and pain.

Blood oozed from the corners of her mouth, and her clothes were torn to shreds, making her look extremely miserable. She tried to get up and fight back, but due to exhaustion, she fell heavily again as soon as she stood up, only to utter a faint whimper. Her eyes were filled with fear and despair, and her previous arrogance was gone.

Sheng Hualan was still not satisfied, so she rode on Zhang and started slapping her in anger. Soon, Zhang's face was swollen like a pig's head and it was completely unbearable to look at.

The wife of the Earl of Zhongqin, who was standing by, was dumbfounded. She had never expected that Sheng Hualan, who was usually submissive, would explode so fiercely.

After reacting, Lady Zhongqin hurriedly shouted.

"You are all dead, why don't you help your eldest young lady quickly?"

The servants of the Duke Zhongqin's Mansion looked at the burly personal guards guarding Sheng Hualan and hesitated to step forward.

After all, you only earn so little money a month, it's not worth risking your life.

Looking at the ferocious and murderous looks of these personal soldiers, you can tell at a glance that they are not to be provoked.

Moreover, when these personal guards were on their way to the residence of the Marquis of Zhongqin, there were many servants in the residence who wanted to show off and tried to stop them. As a result, they were kicked away at the very least, and beaten up by three or five strong men at the worst, and fell asleep.

Having learned from the previous experience, even though Lady Zhongqin shouted at the top of her lungs, the servants did not dare to step forward.

Lady Zhongqin was now at a loss and could only watch Sheng Hualan unilaterally beat Zhang.

Sheng Hualan didn't stop until Zhang passed out from the beating, and then she slowly stood up.

At this moment, Sheng Hualan felt that the anger accumulated over the years had subsided a lot, the frustration she had felt in the past had also dissipated a lot, and her mammary glands became much more unobstructed.

After Sheng Hualan stood up, she looked at the wife of the Earl of Zhongqin with an unfriendly look.

The wife of the Earl of Zhongqin was captivated by Sheng Hualan's gaze and spoke in a panic.

"Sheng Hualan, you, please don't do anything stupid."

Sheng Hualan said after looking at the wife of the Earl of Zhongqin with contempt.

"Don't worry, our Sheng family won't be as shameless as your Zhongqin Marquis Mansion."

"Our two families have severed all ties. I'm here today to take Sister Zhuang away."

The wife of the Earl of Zhongqin said hurriedly.

"She is from the Yuan family. Why do you take her away?"

Sheng Hualan said calmly.

"Whatever you say, I will definitely take the person away."

"I will not leave my child in the Yuan family and let you bully him."

"If you're not convinced, you can make trouble however you want."

"Of course, this is based on the assumption that you still have the mind to tangle with me about this later."

The wife of the Earl of Zhongqin said with some confusion.

"W-what do you mean?"

Sheng Hualan said after giving Mrs. Zhongqin a cold look.

"You'll soon know what I mean."

"Zhuang'er, let's go."

After hearing this, Zhuang Jie'er held her mother's hand tightly, and then the mother and daughter calmly left the Zhongqin Earl's Mansion under the escort of the personal guards.

Looking at the messy Earl's Mansion in front of her, Lady Zhongqin was confused for a moment, and then anger filled her chest.

You are so good, Sheng Hualan. Even the Champion Marquis can't save himself, and you still want to take advantage of the power of others. You are dreaming.

Just when the wife of the Marquis Zhongqin was about to send a letter to the Marquis Zhongqin to impeach the Sheng family and the Marquis Guanjun's Mansion, she saw the Marquis Zhongqin's long-time attendant Yuan Wu hurriedly coming to the mansion.

Mrs. Zhongqin said when she saw this.

"Yuan Wu, you've come just in time. I was just about to send someone to deliver a letter to the master, and you're the perfect person to bring the news."

Yuan Wu waved his hand and said.

"Madam, something terrible has happened. The master, the eldest young master, and the second young master are all in trouble. They have been captured by the soldiers of the military and are imprisoned in the military prison."

"The master ordered me to come back and ask you, Madam, to take care of everything as soon as possible."

"what!"

Upon hearing this, Lady Zhongqin was struck by lightning.

No matter how stupid she was, she understood that this was the hidden meaning that Sheng Hualan had just mentioned.

At this time, Mrs. Zhongqin was regretting it so much that her intestines turned green.

He was just bored and actually believed the lies of his eldest daughter-in-law Zhang.

Even though the Marquis of Guanjun's Mansion is in trouble, it is still easy to deal with the Marquis of Zhongqin's Mansion.

However, the wife of the Earl of Zhongqin had no time to regret it. She could only quickly collect the money and prepare to visit the prison.

Lady Zhongqin still had a glimmer of hope in her heart at this moment, that this was Marquis Guanjun's last act of madness, and as long as she waited for Marquis Guanjun to make her decision, her master and two sons would naturally be safe.

However, in the afternoon, the Imperial Household Department issued an edict that the Marquis of Guanjun had led his troops to trespass into the Ministry of Justice's prison and acted arrogantly and domineeringly. The Marquis of Guanjun was stripped of his title of Senior Pillar of the State and his fiefdom was reduced by 2,000 households.

The news shocked the government and the public instantly.

After all, with the help of some people, the news that Marquis Guanjun killed Chief Censor Yang Lin was widely circulated.

It is generally believed that the Chief Censor was a third-rank official. If the Marquis of Guanjun killed such a person, even if he did not die, he would probably be dismissed from office and stripped of his title.

However, no one could have imagined that Emperor Yongping would openly protect Marquis Guanjun and even issue an imperial edict to only deal with the incident of Jia Jue trespassing into the Ministry of Justice's prison. As for Yang Lin's death, he did not even mention it, as if this person did not exist at all and was insignificant.
