Chapter 281 The Disaster of Pond Fish
After a few more days, Daiyu made a special trip to be the host, and invited all the girls in the back house to have a banquet. During the banquet, she decided to let Zijuan and Xueyan go.In everyone's astonishment, they said one more thing, which is to open up Zijuan's face, and he will be the man in the son's house from now on.Suddenly hearing this, Mu Xu's wives and concubines reacted differently, but most of them no one raised any objections. One is that Daiyu is the official wife, so they have nothing to say about this matter.Both of them are not narrow-minded people, so they can't do that kind of jealousy.Since this matter has passed the Ming road, Daiyu drove Mu Xu to Zijuan that night, so he had to be the groom again.

Mu Xu has been busy taking concubines for the past few days, but there is an undercurrent in Beijing.It turned out that Chen Ting, the general who conquered the captives, suddenly played a tribute three days ago, saying that the rebel army had mutinied, and the court army took the opportunity to attack the city, but the Yizhong Prince Tu Yu, and the former Pingan Province Jiedu envoy Lu Fang all died in the rebellion army. among.He and his deputy Feng Tang did not dare to make decisions about this matter, so they had to hurry up and ask the emperor for instructions.

You must know that in recent days, many officials in Beijing have been jumping up and down, running around looking for Prince Yizhong, hoping that the emperor will punish him lightly. It was the emperor who instructed Chen Ting and the two to do it.

The incident in Ping'an Prefecture has not subsided yet, yesterday morning, Zhang Cheng, the commander of the Embroidery Guards, reported in court that Li He, a thousand households of the Embroidery Guards, had captured the Maitreya Sect Saintess in Jinling.Originally, all the civil and military people didn't care about this matter, but Zhang Chengcheng let out a big thunder, talking about the identity of Jing Huan, who was actually the daughter of the Jinling royal family.

As soon as this remark came out, the entire court was in an uproar. Others paid it off. Wang Ziteng felt his eyes darken. He resisted the urge to vomit blood and knelt down in front of the line. Out of such traitors, please Your Majesty, please come down to the crime.Wang Ziteng made a good plan, thinking that as long as he can take the initiative to plead guilty, and there are many nobles to intercede for him, he will be able to escape unscathed.

But Wang Ziteng didn't want to think about it, what is the Maitreya Sect doing, and who can stand in this court, who is not a human being?As the eyes and ears of the emperor, Xiuyiwei would openly report this matter in the court without the emperor's order?So what Wang Ziteng was looking forward to did not happen at all, not to mention ordinary people, even the historians and Jia family who belonged to the four major families, no one came out to intercede for him, and the Shi Ding brothers were nothing. His niece and son-in-law.

Seeing this situation, Wang Ziteng's heart skipped a beat, and he realized at this time that he was afraid that something serious would happen this time, and sure enough, the emperor then ordered him to be placed under house arrest, waiting for the court to investigate.

Not to mention Wang Ziteng here, but Jia Lian who was looking at him strangely. As soon as Fang returned to the mansion without even drinking his saliva, a mandarin duck came to invite him, saying that the old lady was looking for him.He had no choice but to ask Ping'er to change into his regular clothes, and reluctantly went to Rongqing Hall. When he got there, he found that it was almost as he had guessed. Except for Wang Xifeng, the rest were all from the second house, even Jia Baoyu. This guy who doesn't care about anything has arrived.

"I've seen the old lady, but I don't know why I'm looking for my grandson?"

Before Jia's mother could reply, Mrs. Wang, who was released beside her, couldn't bear it first, and asked sharply, "Lian'er, why didn't you intercede for your Uncle Wang at the court today?"

Jia Lian tied hands and feet to Jia Mu, but he didn't fear Mrs. Wang, and immediately sneered and asked, "I'm surprised, I don't know who gave the news to the second wife. , at least half an hour before and after, how could the second wife know about the major events that happened in the court?"

"This..." Mrs. Wang was immediately stopped by the question. Facing the inquisitive eyes of Jia Mu and Jia Zheng, she could only ask Ai Ai expectantly, "My second sister-in-law sent someone to tell. Anyway, our Jia Shi Wang Xue The four families have been friends since their ancestors, and they have always been in the same spirit, Uncle Baoyu was framed, we can't stand by and watch, what do you think, girl Feng?"

Wang Xifeng scolded Mrs. Wang for dragging herself into the water, but she said seriously, "That's the reason, but how should we decide on this matter? If the old lady and the gentlemen of the family come forward, what can we women do?"

When Jia's mother heard Wang Xifeng kick the ball at her again, she had to ask Jia Lian out loud, "Lian'er, your second aunt talks nonsense, what happened to Uncle Baoyu, please tell me in detail!"

Jia Lian looked around, and after his eyes fell on Jia Baoyu, he said maliciously, "Do you all remember that there were thieves who wanted to take Baoyu away?"

Everyone nodded, and Mrs. Wang said even more, "It's Uncle Baoyu who is talking about it now, why bring up that matter again?"

"Hey, it seems that Aunt Wang's family didn't tell the truth to the second wife. The incident involving Uncle Wang's family has a lot to do with Baoyu's kidnapping." Today, everything about the court was told, and at the end he said to Jia Mu, "Old lady, you said, this involves the Maitreya sect, how can I open my mouth to intercede for Uncle Wang's family. You haven't seen it, the court is full of people. No one speaks, if I am the first bird at this time, what will the emperor think?"

After hearing Jia Lian's words, everyone else was fine, but Mrs. Wang was the first to not accept it, "You are talking nonsense, how could the Maitreya demon girl come from our Wang family?"

Jia Lian didn't bother to talk to Mrs. Wang, and just looked at Jia Mu. He didn't believe that the old lady would talk to the second room after knowing that the Wang family had rebelled against the Maitreya Sect.He guessed right. At this time, Mother Jia can't care about Prince Teng, she is worried about her own safety, "Lian'er, do you think this matter is true or not, will it implicate all the in-laws?"

"Old lady!" Mrs. Wang became impatient when she heard Jia Mu's words.

"Shut up! Second child, watch her for me. If you dare to talk nonsense again, lock her up again." Jia's mother scolded, and she continued to look at Mrs. Wang after Jia Zheng restrained Mrs. Wang. Jia Lian said, "Lien'er, you can talk."

Jia Lian nodded and replied, "I went to the yamen to inquire about the news, as far as I know, the policeman has been arrested and brought to justice, and her real identity has been verified, she is indeed the daughter of the Wang family. Speaking of this, he pretended to be suspicious, "As for more, I can't find out. Who made our family and the Wang family be related by marriage? In this special period, no one wants to go into this muddy water."

Hearing Jia Lian's words, needles could be heard in the room, and no one spoke for a long while. Finally, Jia Zheng swallowed his saliva and tremblingly said to Jia's mother, "Mother, according to Lian'er, the Wang family is afraid that something will happen. How can this happen?"

Jia's mother was also distraught, but she knew that she must not lose her senses, or the second room would lose its backbone, so seeing Jia Zheng's lost soul, she slammed down her crutches. , Hate that iron can't be steel, "What are you doing, the sky hasn't fallen yet! If you have the time to worry about it, why don't you send someone to invite the third girl to find out the details from the Feng family's grandson-in-law."

Jia Zheng's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "Mother is right. The son-in-law of the Feng family is in charge of the key departments of the Embroidered Clothes Guard, so there will definitely be definite news."

Jia Lian just pretended not to hear Jia Zheng's voice, and stared at the ground with his head down, without saying a word, but Jia's mother didn't want him to be idle, so she kept urging, "Lian'er, you are the head of the family now, Are you just sitting quietly at home like this, don't you forget that Feng girl is also from the Wang family?"

Jia Lian grabbed Wang Xifeng, who was about to speak, and said slowly, "Old lady, I naturally understand what you said, but isn't this matter still unresolved? Instead of rushing to inquire now, it's better to wait for the court first." Let’s talk about the direction of the wind.”

Jia Lian's words sound reasonable at first glance, but after careful consideration, you will find that they are all evasive words. How can you fool Jia's mother? She looked at Jia Lian thoughtfully, and then waved She waved her hand and said, "Forget it, you and Feng girl go down first, and I'll ask you later." When there were only two people left in the room, she said abruptly, "It seems that Lian Er has a plan in mind, knowing that this matter will not happen. implicate Feng girl."

The few people in the room were a little unclear, so Jia Zheng asked puzzled, "Why does mother say that?"

Looking at her middle-aged and innocent son, Jia's mother felt tired, so she sighed, "Okay, don't talk so much, let's do what we said first."
