Jia Huan clapped his hands and chuckled, "The Ma Yuan family has such a person? What right do they have to impeach Brother Zhen? If we're going to be in trouble, we'll all be in trouble together!"
"This is called fighting poison with poison. I believe Brother Zhen will be very happy to hear this!"
He had received accurate information that Ma Yuan had a frivolous young son.
Although he studied at the Imperial Academy, he was a notorious playboy among the second generation of civil officials.
They frequented brothels and frequented brothels, engaging in all sorts of activities that were no less sophisticated than those of military elites.
The reason why it is not well-known is because the family protects it well and it is also vigilant.
Unfortunately, a playboy is a playboy; even if he keeps his secrets well, he will eventually slip up at some point.
As I said before, some people do things that are mostly kept secret from their superiors but not from their subordinates.
This time, Jia Huan once again used the methods of the lower-level underworld, making it relatively easy for him to gather some real information.
Originally, he was considering how to pass a message to Jia Zhen, asking him to find an opportunity to target Ma Yuan's youngest son.
Some things can't be said. If Jia Zhen discovers that he has other sources of information, it's hard to guarantee that he won't become wary and take precautions.
Damn, Jia Huan is only so young, yet he acts like a cunning old fox. Nobody likes dealing with someone like that. If that's the case, Jia Huan will be really annoyed.

The time was perfect, and Jia Huan directly proposed the method of "fighting poison with poison".
There was a popular saying on the internet in my past life: try to pull your opponent into a rhythm you are familiar with, and then defeat them with your more skilled experience.
Jia Huan believed that a seasoned playboy like Jia Zhen would certainly have no shortage of ways to deal with a womanizer like Ma Yuan's youngest son.
"It would be best to make a big fuss about this, so that everyone in the capital knows about it!"
Seeing that Master Zheng seemed to be deep in thought, Jia Huan continued to suggest, "If Ma Yuan dares to keep bothering Brother Zhen, Brother Zhen can also drag Ma Yuan's youngest son down with him!"
"At that point, both sides will have their own version of the truth, and it will be impossible to resolve the dispute. Wouldn't that naturally eliminate Brother Zhen's troubles?"
After pondering for a long time, Master Zheng finally nodded and said, "I'll go and talk to Brother Zhen and see what he thinks."
As for whether this idea of "fighting poison with poison" was good or not, the Second Master Zheng was not interested.
He felt it was already quite good that Jia Huan was able to offer an idea, even though it was just a casual remark.
There was no suspicion, but I just thought Jia Huan reacted quickly and was quite perceptive.
This is a good thing; at least the Second Master Zheng is quite satisfied with it!
Leaving the main study, I carefully passed by the main hall of the second branch, trying to minimize my presence and not wanting to have any interaction with the somewhat oppressive people in the main hall.
Affected by the impeachment turmoil in the imperial court, Lady Wang's secret loan sharking business was cut off, resulting in a loss of several thousand taels of silver.
For Lady Wang, who was prone to misfortune, such a loss was enough to make her grieve for many days.
Needless to say, the old lady seized the opportunity to give him a dressing down afterward, which made him even more depressed.
If the master is in a bad mood, how can the servants around him be in a good mood?
The atmosphere in the main hall of the second house was oppressive. The maids and servants moved about quietly, afraid of making a commotion and incurring Madam Wang's wrath.
Jia Huan glanced around quickly and saw several young maids around ten years old kneeling in the corridor next to the main hall of the second house. These were the maids who were known as the kind and gentle people in the mansion!
Fortunately, it's already early summer, and the weather is quite hot. Kneeling on the ground is hard on the knees, but there's no need to worry about catching a cold or fever.
If it were late autumn or winter, those maids would probably all fall ill.
Given the Rong Mansion's medical resources and established practices, several people inside are likely to die.
Naturally, some of the maids and servants from the second branch of the family also saw Jia Huan pretending to be invisible, but no one paid any attention and simply chose to ignore him.
"Huan-ge'er, wait!"
Just as Jia Huan was about to leave the main courtyard of the second house, a clear voice called out to him.
"Is there anything I can help you with, Sister Tanchun?"
Jia Huan turned around and asked Tan Chun, who was walking quickly towards him.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a skirt hem, hidden behind a pillar not far away.
What the hell are you trying to do? Eavesdrop?
How utterly shameful!
His attitude towards Tan Chun was neither warm nor cold, neither close nor distant. Everyone had their own difficulties, so there was no need to torment each other.
Tan Chun was, after all, just a little girl, only eight years old at the time. Even if she had some cunning, she didn't have much shrewdness.
Seeing Jia Huan's cold attitude, how could he not feel upset?
Fortunately, she didn't forget that this was the main hall of the second branch of the family, and her stepmother, Madam Wang, was in a bad mood, so she didn't dare to do anything excessive.
"That's right, Brother Bao will be going to the clan school in a few days!"
Tan Chun quickly said, "Let's inform them in advance, so that the clan school isn't caught off guard!"
"Brother Bao is coming to the clan school, Sister Tanchun, you're not joking, are you?"
Jia Huan was 'greatly shocked,' then said in a strange and amused tone, 'That's really something!'
It's no wonder he reacted this way. More than a year has passed since Jia Baoyu left the clan school last year, and this fellow has never appeared there before.
After becoming a retainer of Master Zheng, he had heard of Master Zheng's intention to hire a famous teacher to tutor Jia Baoyu privately, but unfortunately, the Phoenix Egg was already famous.
The renowned teachers outside wouldn't dare jeopardize their reputation, so there's been no result for a long time.
During this time, Master Zheng Er repeatedly asked Jia Baoyu to go to the clan school to study, but the boy always made excuses about headaches and fevers to avoid it.
The key point is that the old lady and Lady Wang firmly stood on Jia Baoyu's side, and as a result, this guy didn't come to the clan school for more than a year, living a very carefree life.
Now, when Tan Chun says that Jia Baoyu is about to report to the clan school, isn't that surprising?
Tan Chun was aware of all this, but she was annoyed by Jia Huan's mischievous behavior and said irritably, "Not long ago, Madam Rong from the East Mansion brought her younger brother over, and he played very well with Brother Bao!"
"Grandma Rong asked Second Grandma Lian to allow her younger brother, Qin Zhong, to attend the clan school as an adjunct student!"
"Brother Bao finally made a friend, and he wants to go to the clan school with him!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Jia Huan and reminded him, "Brother Bao is going to the clan school. Don't cause trouble and get into a conflict with him!"
"How could I dare!"
Jia Huan rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Even that dull-witted bully from the Xue family has to behave like an obedient little brother in front of Brother Bao. It's already a big favor that Brother Bao doesn't bully us!"
He keenly noticed that when Xue Pan was mentioned, the hem of the skirt of the woman hidden behind the pillar trembled slightly, though he didn't know why.
"It's good that you know what's going on, just don't be naughty!"
Tan Chun rolled her eyes, then waved her hand and turned to leave without any hesitation.
Jia Huan clicked his tongue lightly, didn't say anything more, and slipped back to his residence.
As for Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong coming to the clan school, he didn't care at all.
The clan school is now quite orderly, and a reading atmosphere is gradually emerging.
Of course, this only applies to those few who are motivated to study and improve themselves.
As for someone like Jin Rong, who has absolutely no interest in studying, he's practically invisible in the classroom except when he's diligently listening to lectures in the morning.
The other students, like Xiang Lian and Yu Ai, were basically in the same situation.
Without these restless troublemakers causing trouble, Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong wouldn't be able to stir up any waves.
I just hope that Qin Zhong will have some self-awareness and not deliberately get together with Xiang Lian and Yu Ai, otherwise there might be trouble.
As for Xue Pan, the biggest hidden danger of the clan school, he has recently become obsessed with the ways of the martial arts world and spends his afternoons holed up at the small martial arts school, so there shouldn't be any problems.
I won't give you any opportunity to cause trouble. If you're so capable, go do your own thing.
Anyway, Jia Huan didn't like these two much; they weren't on the same wavelength.
Chapter 85 A Girl's Thoughts (Please add to your favorites)
Tan Chun's reminder, despite the risk of displeasing Lady Wang, was definitely well-intentioned.
After all, Jia Baoyu's status was extraordinary. If anything happened at the clan school, it would easily arouse extreme dissatisfaction from the old lady and Lady Wang, who would then take their anger out on Jia Huan.
She just didn't know about the clan school. As long as Jia Baoyu didn't cause trouble, nothing would happen.
As for Qin Zhong, it's really hard to say whether he's good or bad.
In the original novel, this guy was involved with Xiang Lianyu, not only kissing her but also touching her inappropriately.
During Qin Keqing's mourning period, she got involved with the young nun Zhi Neng'er, ultimately causing her father's death from anger.
He looks like a rebellious teenager, or even the kind who's already gone astray.
Of course, Jia Huan only thought about it and didn't pay too much attention to it.
On the other side, Tan Chun turned around and returned to the main hall of the second house. As she passed a pillar behind her, Xue Baochai's figure was revealed.
Just now, it was Xue Baochai who was eavesdropping behind the pillar.
It wasn't intentional; she was already with Tan Chun.
