The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

Jia Huan had only enjoyed two days of peace and quiet when, one afternoon, while he was displaying his prowess on the Cuju field, he was suddenly summoned away by a servant from the Second Master Zheng's side.

When asked what had happened, the servant only looked grim and didn't reveal anything.

How strange!

When did the servants of the Rong family become so tight-lipped?

Just as Jia Huan was pondering whether to give some silver to test the waters, they arrived at the study.

"Come with me to the East Mansion, something's happened!"

As usual, Master Zheng skipped work. His expression was quite serious. Upon seeing Jia Huan, he immediately greeted him, "When you see Zhen-ge'er later, just say whatever you're thinking!"

Before long, he took Jia Huan and left the Rong Mansion, heading towards the Ning Mansion next door.

Jia Huan noticed that Master Zheng hadn't brought any other retainers, and even his servants were far away. A thought suddenly occurred to him, and he made a certain guess.

"Sir, has there been any result regarding the idea I mentioned before?"

He was referring to the strategy of "fighting poison with poison." Judging by the time, a response should be forthcoming.

Master Zheng nodded silently and said leisurely, "Not long ago, Brother Zhen sent someone to deliver a message that Brother Rong was seriously injured by Ma Yuan's youngest son!"

When he said this, it was unclear whether he was angry or embarrassed. In short, his tone was ambiguous.

The servant who had called for help didn't know what was going on.

Jia Huan suddenly realized that he was just about to bribe someone with silver, but thankfully he didn't do that foolish thing.

"Rong-ge'er, is this because you weren't prepared or something unexpected happened?"

His voice was full of surprise as he asked curiously, "That shouldn't be the case, how could he be injured?"

Master Zheng didn't know how to answer, so he could only say perfunctorily, "Once we get to the East Mansion, we'll find out by asking!"

In his heart, he couldn't help but feel disappointed in Jia Rong, and Jia Zhen was also implicated, causing his ability level in the eyes of Master Zheng to drop several levels.

Don't doubt it, even the Second Master Zheng was young once. How could a top-ranking military officer's son not have a bit of a spoiled brat nature?

He was just always suppressed by Master She. People outside didn't know that he used to be a playful and mischievous person, and that he only gradually changed after being disciplined by his father.

Well, to put it simply, a martial arts prodigy from a family at the very bottom of its power structure couldn't even defeat the youngest son of a civil official. No matter the reasons, he couldn't escape being labeled a "good-for-nothing."

Not to mention, he was beaten so badly that he was seriously injured. It was utterly shameful!

Neither Master Zheng nor Jia Huan reacted to the news with any sense of revenge; instead, they cursed Jia Rong in their hearts for being such a useless piece of trash who couldn't even handle such a simple matter!

"Useless, useless! How could I have given birth to such a useless person like you!"

Upon entering the Ning Mansion, they followed the maid to Jia Rong's residence in the backyard. Before even entering, they heard Jia Zhen's furious roar.

Only after the maid announced the news did Jia Zhen's roar cease.

Upon entering, the room was filled with the smell of medicine, so strong it was almost suffocating, and the atmosphere was terribly somber and oppressive.

Jia Zhen, his eyes bloodshot, came out to greet him, his face full of shame and a bitter smile, saying, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Uncle!"

Then he looked at Jia Huan, nodded and said slowly, "Brother Huan is here too. We can go to the study together to discuss this later. I will definitely not let this matter go!"

Clearly, he knew that the strategy of "fighting poison with poison" was proposed by Jia Huan.

In a bad mood, he didn't have the energy to pay attention to etiquette, nor did he care about Jia Huan's age. It was quite impressive that he could come up with a suitable plan in such a short time.

There is no harm without comparison!

With Jia Rong as a foil, Jia Huan, if not a genius, was at least a competent strategist, a point that Jia Zhen acknowledged.

"How is Rong-ge'er? Is his injury serious?"

The Second Master Zheng asked with concern, "Have you summoned the imperial physician?"

"Uncle, go see that bastard for yourself. I can't be bothered to say anything more!"

Mentioning Jia Rong, Jia Zhen became agitated again, his face turning ashen at a visible speed.

It's probably out of consideration for Master Zheng's reputation, otherwise he probably would have directly launched into a tirade of abuse.

Master Zheng didn't say much, nodded, and led Jia Huan into Jia Rong's room.

The pungent smell of herbs was somewhat unpleasant. Besides Jia Rong, who was lying on the bed, there were two other people in the room.

One is a stunningly beautiful woman with a haggard face, who should be Qin Keqing, known as the most beautiful woman in the Dream of the Red Chamber.

She was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a bowl of medicine in her hand, her posture graceful and pleasing to the eye.

The other one was Jia Qiang, who was huddled in the corner. He looked pale and was probably in a daze after being verbally attacked by Jia Zhen.

"Uncle, Uncle Huan, you've arrived!"

As the two entered, Qin Keqing immediately stood up to greet them; she was indeed a stunningly beautiful woman.

Even though she looked haggard and her eyes were swollen, she still possessed a gentle and refined demeanor, and every move she made exuded boundless charm, making her indescribably beautiful and captivating.

Master Zheng did not look directly at Qin Keqing, but nodded slightly, and then looked at Jia Rong lying on the bed.

When he saw Jia Rong's miserable state, Master Zheng was shocked.

This guy's originally delicate and beautiful face had now turned into a huge pig's head. It couldn't even be described as just bruised and swollen; it was downright disfigured.

At this point, he could only squint to see, his mouth was crooked and drool was even coming out, and he couldn't speak at all.

An arm and a leg were now splinted with wooden boards. Judging from the way they were wrapped in white cloth and smelled strongly of herbs, it was clear that they were either fractured or broken.

As for whether there are any other injuries on his body, it is likely that there are, but they are not directly visible.

"That's going too far! Ma Yuan has gone too far!"

The Second Master Zheng's chest heaved, his face gradually turned ugly, he muttered to himself, and his eyes became somewhat sharp and cold, finally showing the aura of a head of a large family.

Jia Huan is still young, so he can carefully observe Qin Keqing's beauty without worrying about being treated as a lecher. Even Jia Zhen wouldn't suspect anything.

Of course, he wouldn't stoop so low. In his previous life, he had seen countless beautiful women, and while none of the women he had personally encountered were as beautiful as Qin Keqing, they weren't so stunning that he couldn't take his eyes off her.

To say that Qin Keqing is the most beautiful woman in the Dream of the Red Chamber without having seen the beauties of the imperial palace or the women of powerful and wealthy families is a bit of an exaggeration.

If she were truly that stunningly beautiful, the Ning family would never have been able to marry Qin Keqing.

Some things don't need to be investigated too deeply; thinking too much about them only reveals harsh realities that are hard to accept.

He followed behind Master Zheng, carefully examining the seriously injured Jia Rong. His lips twitched slightly, and he said softly, "Master, the other party was ruthless. No matter what, Rong-ge'er is the heir of the Ning Mansion. This matter cannot be left like this. We also need to think carefully about the matters in the court!"

It's going to be available soon.

Chapter 89 Remarks on the launch

Let me explain why I wrote Dream of the Red Chamber: I felt my grades were relatively stable.

Unfortunately, I'm not used to the pace of the starting line anymore.

My previous two books both flopped, which was quite frustrating to be honest.

Even this copy of Dream of the Red Chamber has only average collection data, with just over six thousand collections today.

Let's see how things go; hopefully there's still hope!

Chapter 90 The Deep Fryer (Seeking First Subscription)

"This time I'll take charge myself!"

In the main study of the Ning Mansion, Jia Zhen said in a deep voice with a sinister expression, "That brat from the Ma family is so arrogant. I must teach him a lesson and let him know that the Ning Mansion's reputation is not so easily trampled upon!"

Sensing the ruthlessness in Jia Zhen's expression, Master Zheng frowned slightly, wanting to say something but ultimately uttering nothing.

Jia Huan, however, felt that Jia Zhen's choice was quite normal. This was the normal behavior of a first-class powerful family head, and anything less would not be enough to deter petty people.

If the Ning family doesn't react strongly by the time the news spreads widely, they will become a laughing stock among the powerful and influential circles in the capital.

The consequences are quite serious!

If they don't even dare to touch the youngest son of the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, wouldn't those even more ruthless wolves be able to swallow up the Ning family whole?

Even if you can't share it directly, you can still bite off a big chunk of fat!

For example, the Ning family's core industry is the six large estates outside the city!

Anyway, the Ning family doesn't dare to resist, so they can just do whatever they want to them.

There's a saying from my past life: "A person who isn't ruthless can't stand firm, and the same goes for a family!"

That was in a peaceful world, let alone the cruel era of feudal imperial power.

The competition and infighting among the top elites is extremely fierce and bloody; a single misstep can lead to the tragic downfall of the entire family.

If this matter is not handled properly, it could be the direct trigger for the downfall of the Ning family!

Jia Zhen may have understood, or he may have simply felt humiliated and wanted to retaliate; in any case, his actions and reactions were quite normal.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to show too much, Jia Huan would have given Jia Zhen some ruthless ideas!

Anyway, the youngest son of the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue doesn't seem to be a good person either, so the sooner he dies, the sooner he'll be promoted!

With Master Zheng Er present, there were some things he couldn't say too much about, so Jia Huan remained silent throughout.

They quickly said goodbye and left, after all, Jia Rong's serious injury was quite embarrassing.
