The Rise of Ning Mansion in Red Mansions

Chapter 24 Old Fox

Seeing Jia She's decline, Jia's mother let out a sigh of relief and realized that the overall situation was decided, but there was only one thing left to do.

Seemingly reasonable, Jia Mu was actually threatening, saying:

"She'er, you know your own situation best."

"Confused!"

"You went behind the back of your elders and secretly linked up with Prince Yohitada and got involved in the royal family's heirloom case. You will never be able to gain a foothold in the imperial court or get ahead in your life."

"It's better to raise your hands and fully support Zheng'er's progress."

"Why bother dragging the Rongguo Mansion to bury you with you and bring shame to your ancestors!"

As she spoke, Mother Jia burst into tears and rolled down her cheeks.

She struggled to kneel in front of Jia She, as if she could represent the ancestors of the Jia family in Jinling, and Jia She underground was the unworthy descendant.

"Mother!"

Jia Zheng howled and walked to Jia Mu on his knees, holding her with both hands, trying to help Jia Mu up.
But his sneaky eyes looked directly at Jia She behind him, and his meaning was self-evident.

Jia She said nothing, just looking at Jia Mu and Jia Zheng blankly.
His eyes were bloodshot, his expression was lazy, a little dull, and pitiful, which made people feel heartbroken when he saw him.

Jia's mother suppressed the guilt in her heart and said one thing after another. She hit Jia She hard again and cried:

"My son, you crawled out of your mother's belly and raised you through hard work."

"My mother and your second brother will never let you suffer any injustice."

"From now on, you can drink some wine in Dongkuaoyuan, read books, and play with antique calligraphy and paintings. You have been busy for most of your life. Enjoy your life and be a wealthy and idle man."

"The troublesome, laborious, and troublesome things outside are all left to your second brother to handle, okay?"

"She'er, I'm begging you for my mother, okay?"

With that said, Jia Mu was about to kowtow to Jia She, but Jia Zheng stopped her, "Mother! Wow... my son is unfilial and has offended you..."

Jia She looked at him blankly. He had been completely given up by Jia Mu. There was nothing more sad than death. He pursed his lips but said nothing.

Jia She slowly lowered his body and knocked on the cold ground, "Son, listen to your mother!" He didn't get up for a long time.

Hearing Jia She's agreement, Jia's mother was overjoyed, but seeing Jia She's devastated look, she couldn't bear it.

Feeling a mixture of sadness and joy, Jia Mu's face was tangled for a while. Finally, she hugged Jia She and comforted her:
"Mother knows that my son is the most filial." "Everything will be fine!"

"Get up quickly and cool down carefully."

Jia's mother led Jia She to her seat and wiped his tears, "She's son, as long as my mother is here, I will never let you suffer any injustice in the future."

"Brother Dai will be here in a moment. Let's clean up. There are still some important things in the house that need to be discussed."

But he said that for more than half a year, the east and west mansions were holding happy events and funerals, which kept Jia Dai busy to death.

Fortunately, he is a military attache, so he doesn't have to worry about his duties. He only needs to stay at home for a month.

On this day, Jia Dai was counting the slaves in Ningguo Mansion and preparing the belongings for the funeral south.

Unexpectedly, Jia Mu sent Yuanyang to invite him, saying that she had important matters to discuss.

Although Jia Dai felt strange in his heart, he didn't think much about it. He took a few boys and rode to Xifu.
When we arrived at Rongxi Hall, the atmosphere inside was very strange, as if there had been a war.

Jia She's face was especially stained with tears. He was sitting in the front seat on the left with his head lowered;

Jia Zheng was in the first seat on the right, his cheeks red with excitement, his hands and feet dancing unconsciously.

Jia Dai shook his head, saying that he couldn't figure out what the three of them, mother and son, were causing trouble.

"I've met my second uncle and grandma!"

"I've met Uncle Pardon and Uncle Zheng."

Jia Dai bowed politely, showing a sense of alienation.

Jia Mu was stunned, beckoned Jia Dai to sit next to her, and said with an angry look on her face:

"You kid, you've been like this since you were a child, accepting death."

"Now that your grandfather has passed away, your second uncle likes to practice Taoism and doesn't care about you."

"There are no elders in Dongfu who are on the board of directors. You, a child, are living alone and struggling to support the family. The old woman looks very pitiful."

"I can't write two Jia Lai in one stroke. Brother Dai, you don't need to see anyone outside."

"From now on, our two families should move around frequently. I'll call you my old lady, I'll call you Uncle Pardon, my lord; I'll call you Uncle Zheng, my lord..."
