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

Wang's daughter-in-law spoke, enduring Madam Wang's piercing gaze.

She was also in a difficult position; it was clear that Madam Wang and Sister Feng were putting each other in a difficult position.

Her maid, Zhou Rui's wife, accused Feng Jie of lending money at exorbitant interest rates, so she could only accuse Madam Wang of subsidizing her family.

As for why it's necessary to involve the Wang family, their former masters?

The real reason was that she didn't know any other dirt on Madam Wang. Only the Wang family, as the maternal family of both Fengjie and Madam Wang, and Wang's daughter-in-law knew some of the inside story.

She wouldn't dare to make a false accusation, since making a false accusation would result in the entire family being beaten to death.

After much deliberation, considering the lesser of two evils, the only option was to bring up the Wang family.

The people in the courtyard watched this dramatic scene of mutual biting and scrambling with varying expressions.

The servants felt their eyes had been opened, and they had learned a great deal today!

Grandmother Jia's face was as black as a pot, and her expression was cold. You wouldn't know unless you investigated, and what you found out was shocking.

She's not even dead yet! She's lending money at exorbitant interest rates, subsidizing her own family, betraying her own family—what kind of behavior is that!

The Jia family's century-old reputation is about to be ruined by these foolish daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law in the inner quarters. It's simply outrageous!

Sister Feng's expression brightened slightly, but also carried a hint of worry.

Wang's daughter-in-law stepped forward to take the blame for her, at least saving her face!

It was absolutely right of him to accuse Lady Wang of this, and he should be punished in kind.

She hadn't expected that Wang's daughter-in-law would involve the Wang family!

You should know that the Wang family is her maternal family, and her uncle Wang Ziteng has always been her biggest support.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Sister Feng felt that it wasn't a big deal.

Now that he had fallen out with Madam Wang, Wang Ziteng was no longer a reliable option.

After all, in terms of relationship, Madam Wang is Wang Ziteng's younger sister, and they are closer. She is just a niece and doesn't hold much weight in Wang Ziteng's heart.

Let's get through today's hurdle first!

Even if the Wang family asks, it was Wang who first had her maids report her, and she was only forced to retaliate. No matter how you look at it, she can't be blamed.

Besides, her man is about to inherit the title, so there's no need to be afraid of this or that!

Thinking of this, Sister Feng narrowed her phoenix eyes and said in a clear voice:

"Grandma, Third Brother, I think we should investigate what Wang's wife said!"

"No matter what, it's already happened, and so many people in this courtyard are watching!"

"Things have escalated to this point; there needs to be a resolution. This is easy to investigate; we just need to send someone to look into it! Wouldn't it be even better if it turned out to be a misunderstanding?"

Fengjie returned Wang Furen's words verbatim.

Upon hearing this, Madam Wang flew into a rage, pointing her finger at Feng Jie and shouting angrily:

"You're being insolent, you..."

"Bang!"

"Alright! Have you all lost your minds today?!"

Grandmother Jia was furious and could no longer contain herself. She grabbed the teacup she was holding and slammed it to the ground, scolding her.

"You're not behaving like a proper lady! You're not behaving like a proper niece! Are you going to make a scene until you've completely disgraced the Jia family?"

"So, our Jia family has lost its dignity, but you daughters-in-law are now looking good, aren't you?"

"I believe you did not do this, but even if you were the servants, you cannot escape the responsibility of failing to manage your subordinates properly."

"I think you two should stop managing the household and instead focus on cultivating your character, being good wives and mothers in the inner quarters."

Seeing that Grandmother Jia's face had changed color with anger, Fengjie and Lady Wang immediately knelt down and obediently listened to the reprimand.

They are not like Jia Jing, who could talk back to Grandmother Jia.

Grandmother Jia had absolute authority over them. When Grandmother Jia spoke, they had no room for argument and could only kneel on the ground and silently accept it. This is the normal filial piety and etiquette in this day and age.

Grandmother Jia didn't even glance at the two of them. She was already furious with Jia Jing today, and then she witnessed this shameless dog-eat-dog scene between Lady Wang and Wang Xifeng, which almost made her die of anger!

Grandmother Jia turned her head and glanced at everyone in the courtyard, then sternly scolded Zhou Rui's wife and Wang's daughter-in-law:

"You two vile whores, spouting nonsense and slandering your master while being slaves, don't you even take a piss and look at yourselves in the mirror? How dare you stand up and talk nonsense?"

"Even prostitutes are three times more expensive than you people who slander your master. If I weren't so old, I would slap you across the face."

"Guards! Drag them both out and give them a good beating. After that, sell them off and never let these two traitors set foot in my house again!"

When Grandmother Jia gave the order, none of the guards present made a move, and the scene fell silent for a moment. This scene almost drove her crazy.

Upon seeing this, Jia Jing waved his hand, and his personal guards came forward to drag the two men out and beat them with a board.

These two servants have both committed crimes and are no longer suitable to remain in the household.

After Zhou Rui's wife and Wang's daughter-in-law were dragged out of the yard, the yard became quiet again.

Lady Wang and Wang Xifeng knelt on the ground, their faces filled with dejection. Grandmother Jia's anger had not subsided, while Jia Jing picked up the teacup beside him and took a small sip.

At this moment, the only person on the field with a smile on their face and joy in their heart was probably Madam Xing.

Seeing Madam Wang and Wang Xifeng attacking and undermining each other, even the maids were implicated, she felt inexplicably happy.

You should know that the personal attendants are the most trusted confidants of their masters, holding an irreplaceable position and possessing extremely high loyalty.

Ever since Madam Xing's maid, Wang Shanbao's wife, was kicked out of the mansion, it has become much more difficult for her to do anything in the mansion than before.

Now that Lady Wang's maid Zhou Rui's wife and Wang Xifeng's maid Wang's wife have been driven out of the mansion, it's as if they've lost their arms.

Not to mention, Grandmother Jia has already declared that Lady Wang and Wang Xifeng will no longer be in charge of the household affairs, which is undoubtedly great news.

After thinking it over, Madam Xing felt that since Madam Wang and Wang Xifeng were not in charge of the household, and considering their status and suitability, she could certainly take on the role of the housekeeper herself!

After all, she was, after all, the legal mother of that wretched boy Jing-ge'er!

This was truly a stroke of good fortune, obtained without any effort at all.
