Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 216 The Beginning of Keqing's Distress

strangeness?Why did Qin Keqing come here?
Jia Cong came to the outside of the nunnery, just as Qin Keqing got off the carriage, Yingying bowed down: "My niece and daughter-in-law greet the third uncle, and the second uncle Bao is also here..."

"Brother Rong, daughter-in-law, what are you doing here?"

Shuiyue Nunnery had an accident and went to Shuntian Mansion to escort people away, and it was only an hour and a half before and after, how could Qin Keqing come here?
I only heard Qin Keqing say: "Master Jingxu went to the mansion yesterday and said that there is a new vegetarian dish in the nunnery today, please come and taste it..."

"Who? Dare to spy on the nobleman!"

Qin Keqing was taken aback by Jia Shishi's sudden warning, and her originally rosy face instantly turned pale.

Jia Cong couldn't care less about whether a man or a woman would give or take a kiss, so he took her by the arm and entered Shuiyue Nunnery.

Several accompanying soldiers immediately stepped forward with their swords drawn, protected Jia Cong, Qin Keqing and Baoyu, and retreated into the main hall of the nunnery.

"Second Brother Bao, stay with Brother Rong's wife in the main hall, I'll go out and have a look..."

"Brother Cong, don't go out, it's dangerous outside!"

The sudden incident awakened Jia Baoyu from his lethargy, he grabbed Jia Cong who was walking out, and shook his head worriedly, "Let the soldiers go, don't go out."

Jia Cong smiled and shook his head, expressing his peace of mind.He broke free from his arms, lifted his feet and walked out of the nunnery.

Baoyu had no choice but to lie at the door and look out, only to see that Jia Shiyi had already fought a masked thief.At the same time, more than a dozen masked thieves gathered at the gate of the nunnery, fighting with Jia's guards.

When we meet on a narrow road, casualties are instant.

When Jia Baoyu was looking for Jia Cong's figure, there was already blood splattered at the gate of the nunnery, Jia Baoyu was so scared that he took a few steps back.

Bang!

He bumped into a chair, and Qin Keqing quickly supported it: "Second Uncle Bao, what's wrong outside...?"

If it was before, Baoyu would have been paralyzed by Qin Keqing's gentle and charming body fragrance, but now his mind is full of blood that pierces his eyes.

"Blood! Blood! Killed!"

Qin Keqing immediately remembered that she had received a secret letter earlier, her delicate brows frowned, and she wanted to call Jia Cong but she didn't say anything in the end.

"Don't worry about Second Uncle Bao, with Third Uncle here, everything will be fine."

The gentle comforting sound did not bring Jia Baoyu back from the fright, but kept shrinking back.

Qin Keqing had no choice but to say to the nanny next to her: "Mommy, help Second Uncle Bao, I'll go ahead and have a look."

"grandmother……"

Mammy wanted to say a few words of persuasion, but Qin Keqing shook her head.

After the nanny supported the limp Baoyu, Qin Keqing hurried to the entrance of the main hall and looked out, just in time to see Jia Cong with his hands behind his back, looking disdainfully at the thief who wanted to kill him in the nunnery.

The person who fought against Jia Shishi was very skilled, and the two fought back and forth, but that person should be a bit older, and gradually showed signs of decline under Jia Shixi's onslaught.

On the contrary, the thieves at the gate gradually gained the upper hand due to the large number of people.Three of the Ningguo Mansion guards who escorted Qin Keqing were dead. Jia Cong waved his hand, and the two Rongguo Mansion soldiers who had been guarding him charged up with knives.

The slingshot in Jia Cong's hand had already been loaded with stone bullets, and while Jia Shishi was splitting the knife, he hit the thief's hand who was holding the long knife.

The thief's hand trembled under the pain, and was slashed on the shoulder by the long knife.

Jia Shishi was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue him, but he saw the man climbed up the wall in a few quick steps, glanced at Qin Keqing, and quickly escaped.

"Uncle Eleven, catch up!"

Jia Cong saw the thief escape, but Jia Shiyi turned over and fell off the wall, and returned to his side, urging him anxiously.

Seeing Jia Shishi guarding him with a saber, he said in a deep voice, "What if something happens to the young master by diverting the tiger away from the mountain, how can I explain to the general?"

The first task of the soldiers of Rongguo Mansion is to protect, and the rest can be given up.He's just a thief, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

After the thief who was stabbed by Jia Shixi fled, the thief at the gate also had no intention of fighting. After hastily dropping two corpses, he broke away from the battle and fled quickly.

The personal guards of the two mansions had no spare energy to pursue and could only watch helplessly as the thief fled.

It wasn't until after the news of the fighting that Qin Keqing walked up to Jia Cong with a face like gold paper, and said in fear, "Third Uncle, these people are probably here to arrest my niece and daughter-in-law..."

……

The killing of Jia Cong in Shuiyue Temple was ignored. In the past two years, the assassination was not once or twice, and the frequency of assassination was getting higher and higher, which also proved that the enemy was more and more afraid of Ningrong Jia's family.

After hearing the news, Master She rushed to Shuiyue Nunnery with a large number of personal soldiers.

The group returned to Rongguo Mansion and gathered together in Rongxi Hall.The old lady's hands were trembling. After she saw that Jia Cong, Baoyu and Qin Keqing were fine, she put her arms around Sun Baoyu and kept cursing.

Of course it is not cursing Jia Cong, but those thieves who assassinated and Jing Xu who caused all this.

She seemed to have forgotten that it was her old man who sent Baoyu to Shuiyue Temple.

Jia Cong held back his laughter, and told Jia She about Shuiyue Temple.

"It's a big joke in the world, I, Ning Rong Jia's family, why did I need to earn those black-hearted money?"

Jia Zheng suddenly slammed the table, and the loud sound made Baoyu, who was still in a state of panic, tremble, and plunged into the old lady's arms.

The old lady glared at her second son in dissatisfaction, and said in a cold voice: "What prestige are you showing off here? You might as well go and find out who gave Jing Xu the idea."

"Mother, do you mean that there is someone behind Jingxu?"

In this regard, Mr. Zheng is far worse than the old lady.

As long as it has nothing to do with Baoyu, the old lady is very shrewd.She only realized what was wrong after listening to Jia Cong's narration.

How much money did Wang Xifeng receive?The people of Shuntian Mansion confiscated nearly 7 taels of silver from Shuiyue Temple.

Moreover, Shuiyue Temple took advantage of Rongguo Mansion and Wang Xifeng's influence to keep usury for several years and take over the lawsuits, causing so many life lawsuits, it is impossible that there will be no news for several years.

What secrets can the capital have?
All kinds of rumors can spread about things in the palace, but Shuiyuean suppresses the news to death. How capable is she Jingxu?
"It's a mess outside, so the second child should stay at home. My son has already arranged for his own soldiers to investigate this matter. Let Brother Cong look for his teacher again. We won't let our family suffer this wrong."

Master Xi looked at Baoyu who was curled up in the old lady's arms, sighed and said, "Baoyu should go back and rest, and cook some soothing soup. I saw blood today, so I guess he will be sick for a few days."

After being reminded by the eldest son, the old lady finally woke up from her anger.

Seeing that the good grandson was in a state of confusion, he quickly called Yuanyang in and asked her to invite the doctor.

After only the old lady, Jia Jing, Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Cong, and Qin Keqing were left in the Rongxi Hall, Jia Jing set his sights on his granddaughter-in-law.

"Brother Rong, daughter-in-law, are you sure that the thief in Shuiyue Nunnery today is targeting you?"

Qin Keqing nodded, and said softly: "Do you still remember the words in the secret letter my grandson gave to my grandfather a few days ago..."

"The time has come, I will invite the master to return to the south!"

Jia Jing repeated this sentence, Jia Cong was puzzled, but the old lady sat up straight and looked at Qin Keqing with a complicated expression.

Qin Keqing continued: "Although grandson-in-law often goes to Shuiyue Temple to offer incense, she doesn't have much contact with Jingxu. She came to the mansion suddenly yesterday and invited me to taste vegetarian food in the nunnery today. At first, grandson-in-law didn't think much about it, but now it seems , I'm afraid there is another mystery."

Although Jia Jing was very dissatisfied with Qin Keqing because of her strange identity and the absurd things she almost caused.

But Qin Keqing's performance these days made him change his attitude. His grandson Jia Rong is a dull person who can't do anything, and it would be nice to have a sensible and smart wife.
