Dream of the Red Chamber: Start by gaining Zhao Yun's martial prowess, and be ennobled in a sin

First, stopping Lady Wang from speaking, then Grandmother Jia continued in a low voice to Jia Jingcang:

"Jing-ge'er, what exactly are you trying to do? Just say it directly! Bao-yu and the others are just fooling around among children; there's no need for you to make such a big deal out of it!"

Although Grandmother Jia was somewhat reluctant to provoke Jia Jing, she had no choice but to speak up for Jia Baoyu's sake.

Jia Jing remained unmoved by Grandmother Jia's questioning, replying calmly:

"What do I want to do? That sounds like it's my fault!"

"I'm busy with military affairs outside, and you've turned the house upside down. You still have the nerve to ask me what I want to do?"

"It's one thing for Baoyu not to go to the clan school to study! He spends all day hanging around in the inner quarters without acting like a man, and he says some nonsense, but I can't be bothered to care."

"I would have pretended not to see if you were to indulge the servants in your household, but now, they have actually caused such a ridiculous incident of a son angering his father to the point of vomiting blood."

"Lin Daiyu is Uncle Lin's only daughter and lives in the mansion. Uncle Lin is an important minister of the country. His Majesty mentioned to me the other day that Uncle Lin has made great contributions. How can you let Baoyu bully her to the point of vomiting blood?"

"This is outrageous! How dare they ask me what I want to do?"

"I just want to see if this mansion has any manners left! I want to see if my sword is tougher, or if some people's words are tougher!"

Having said this, Jia Jing no longer wanted to argue with these women in the inner quarters, and coldly gave the order:

"Guards, drag Jia Baoyu away and give him twenty heavy lashes! Teach him a lesson he'll remember!"

Jia Jing's sudden shout startled everyone in the room, making them feel as if they were enveloped by an inexplicable aura of power.

It felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on me, and I felt a sense of unease and anxiety!

Wang Xifeng stood aside with her eyes lowered, not daring to participate in the contest between Jia Jing and Grandmother Jia, but in her heart she was already overjoyed.

Good! Third Brother is indeed mighty; as soon as he returns to the manor, he wants to use Baoyu to establish his authority!

This is the lifeblood of the old lady and the wife; this time, it's hit the second wife right where it hurts.

As expected of a general who came from the battlefield, he acts decisively and without restraint.

The atmosphere on the scene became somewhat subtle and solemn for a moment. The masters of the Jia family, who had not experienced such a grand occasion in a long time, felt a little uncomfortable!

Then the guards stepped forward to seize Jia Baoyu, but Jia Baoyu shrank into his grandmother's arms and began to feign madness again.

"Ancestor, I'm scared, I'm scared, let them go...go..."

Lady Wang was even more furious when she saw this scene. Her face turned ugly. Jia Jing was going to beat Jia Baoyu. This was unacceptable.

She could no longer control the usually kind and gentle expression on her face, and her face turned ashen as she shouted:

"Let's see who dares to cause trouble!"

Then, he angrily shouted at Jia Jing:

"Even if you are a marquis, what right do you have to deal with Baoyu? Baoyu is the legitimate son of the second branch of the family, while you are the illegitimate son of the first branch. You should mind your own business and not interfere in the affairs of my second branch."

"If you dare to act recklessly today, and try to bully my Baoyu like you bullied Zhen-ge'er of the East Mansion, I will go and complain to the Emperor, and I will not let you get away with this..."

Madam Wang's words were so stern and forceful that no one doubted their truthfulness.

Everyone knows that Jia Baoyu is Lady Wang's lifeblood. If Jia Jing dares to forcefully criticize him today, Lady Wang will probably not let it go.

Madam You, who was standing to the side, had her head down. How could someone from a humble family like her dare to meddle in such trivial matters!

However, when Lady Wang mentioned Jia Zhen, she couldn't help but raise her mature face, a hint of confusion in her eyes!

Why does it feel like my man is being looked down upon?

Grandmother Jia held Jia Baoyu tightly, remaining silent and sighing deeply.

A sense of powerlessness arose in his heart, and he could only secretly hope that Madam Wang could frighten his grandson and make him stop fighting!

This Jing-ge'er is indeed Heaven's arrangement to deal with her illegitimate son. After only a short period of peace, he has returned to the manor to shout and kill her beloved Bao-yu!

My own Baoyu is too weak to withstand twenty strokes of the military rod! He'd probably be beaten to death!

It can be said that nowadays, Grandmother Jia gets a headache whenever she sees Jia Jing, as if she has contracted a strange headache called "fear of her grandson".

However, her wish ultimately failed!

"Shut up, you stupid woman!" Jia Jing's deep shout echoed throughout the hall!

Lady Wang, who had been chattering on and on, was suddenly choked by Jia Jing's shout, and her fair face showed a mixture of shock and anger.

What?!

She must have misheard!

Stupid woman??

However, seeing the same surprised looks from Madam You, Aunt Xue, Madam Xing, and others around her, Madam Wang opened her mouth but did not say anything.

As the mistress of the Rongguo Mansion.

The eldest daughter of the Wang family, the younger sister of Wang Ziteng, and the mother of Jia Baoyu, was actually called a stupid woman?!

I haven't heard anyone dare to yell at me like that in decades!

Madam Wang felt her blood rush to her head, and her vision went black.

Feng Jie, standing to the side, trembled slightly, the word "stupid woman" lingering in her mind.

Her beautiful phoenix eyes held an inscrutable expression as she secretly wondered when she would be able to display such power and authority in Rongqing Hall, and reprimand the mistress of the house!

She would be willing to give a good scolding to Madam Xing, her mother-in-law who often made things difficult for her. She would even be willing to die a few years younger. That feeling must be very satisfying!

Sister Feng's bright eyes sparkled as she looked at Jia Jing in the room with great interest.

He continued in a deep voice:

"Baoyu was originally a fine young man of the Jia family! If it weren't for your foolish wife's habit of spoiling and pampering him, how could he have become such a dissolute young master!"

"Every time the Second Master tries to discipline him, you stop him, making a huge fuss. What kind of logic is this where a father can't discipline his son!"

"Now the second master has been so angered by her that he vomited blood and fainted. You still turn a blind eye to such an unfilial act and remain arrogant and unrepentant."

"It seems this perfectly good man has been ruined by you, you foolish woman!"

Madam Wang was momentarily stunned by the scolding!

Did I really mess with this perfectly good man?

Isn't this my word?

Madam Wang's blood and qi, which had surged up, began to flow downwards again, and she felt her face turn deathly pale and her dignity completely lost!

Grandmother Jia reached out and touched her forehead, covering her old face. Was this a veiled insult?

Every time Zheng'er hits Baoyu, it seems like I'm the first one to stop him!

Today, she was openly insulted by this grandson, but she couldn't refute him because Jia Jing's words made sense!

Normally, she doesn't know that what she's doing is wrong and unreasonable, but she is the matriarch of the Jia family, and everyone has to follow her wishes. No one has the right to reason with her face to face!

Now that Jia Jing is openly making veiled accusations against her, she cannot refute him, because this grandson has the right to reason with her.

Now that things have come to this, she doesn't dare to interrupt easily, for fear that she will also be scolded and humiliated by this grandson!

"Let Baoyu's mother scold Jing-ge a few times to calm him down first, and then I'll plead for him and try to make this a small matter!"

Grandmother Jia's thoughts changed again at this moment!
