Chapter 232 The Xue family wants to break off the engagement?
Yesterday, after Zhao Xiuyuan reported the interrogation status of Jia Jing, Jia Zhen, and Jia Rong to Emperor Tianzhi, Emperor Tianzhi also summoned Jia Mu, Jia She, and Jia Zheng.
Emperor Tianzhi only asked two questions.
The first question is: "Do you know that Jia Yun is not a descendant of the Jia family, but was secretly arranged by Shuizhen and Jia Daihua to be adopted by Jia Zhuo and Bu?"
This question made Jia Mu and the three of them stunned.
The second question is: "Was Jia Yun the same person Jia Zhuo and Bu brought to Shenjing City from Jinling?"
Jia Mu knew this, and responded that Jia Zhuo and Bu Wuniang went to Jinling for a year, and a year later they returned to the capital city and brought their son Jia Yun with them.
This response also allowed Emperor Tianzhi to further confirm that Jia Yun was his real sixth prince.
After asking the two questions, Emperor Tianzhi didn't give any explanation, so he asked Jia Mu and the others to leave. All three of them were confused.
After the three of Jia's mothers left the palace, Jia's mother asked Jia Zheng to ask Jia Yun. Jia Yun did not confess, but just said perfunctorily: It was not convenient for him to say this, otherwise he would be blamed by the emperor.
The matter of his life experience was so important that it was inconvenient for him to spread the matter before Emperor Tianzhi decided whether to recognize him or not.
After Jia Zheng conveyed Jia Yun's words to Jia Mu, Jia Mu was depressed and puzzled.
What's the situation? Is it possible that Jia Yun is really not a descendant of the Jia family? What is his life experience? It is inconvenient to say? And the emperor is also involved?
Finally, Jia Mu couldn't help but ask Wang Ziteng for help!
So Jia's mother sent Jia Zheng to find Wang Ziteng, asking Wang Ziteng to inquire about the major royal case and Jia Yun's life experience.
…
…
This afternoon, Jia Mu did not stay in her Rongqing Hall, but sat in the Rongxi Hall in the main courtyard.
Because Wang Ziteng is here. Wang Ziteng is not only the ruler of the nine provinces, but also a relative and backer of the Rongguo Mansion. When he comes, he is usually received at the Rongxi Hall in the main courtyard.
At present, sitting in the Rongxi Hall are Jia Mu, Wang Ziteng, Jia She, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, Wang Xifeng, and Mrs. You.
Aunt Xue is Wang Ziteng's sister, and Wang Xifeng is Wang Ziteng's niece. When Wang Ziteng comes, Aunt Xue and Wang Xifeng will naturally meet him.
At this moment, Jia Mu asked Wang Ziteng: "Have you inquired about what the second master asked you to inquire about yesterday?"
Wang Ziteng said: "I have inquired about both matters."
Jia Mu asked eagerly: "How?"
Wang Ziteng said: "The first thing is the major royal case involving the Ning Mansion. I have not found out the truth about this matter. I just heard that the emperor's sixth prince, Prince Gong, was suddenly imprisoned by the emperor."
"Since Brother Yun said that the major royal case involved in the Ning Mansion is closely related to the emperor, I am thinking that it may be related to the sixth prince, Prince Gong. Does the old lady know what the relationship between Brother Zhen and Brother Rong is with the sixth prince?
"
Jia Mu frowned. How could she know such a thing? Although she cared about Ningguo Mansion, she also knew that Jia Zhen and Jia Rong were both incompetent. Even Jia Jing, although he had passed the Jinshi exam, he had been running away from the city since
After Xuan Zhen Guan "cultivated immortality", Jia Mu also became disgusted.
Mother Jia was usually too lazy to interfere with the private affairs of the male master of Ningguo Mansion.
Jia Mu looked at Youshi: "Daughter-in-law Zhen, do you know about this?"
Youshi has cried a lot in the past three days, and her eyes are now red and swollen. If the prince hadn't come over today and involved a major royal case, she would not have appeared on such an occasion today.
Hearing this, Youshi said pitifully: "Old lady, I don't know about this."
Jia Mu: "..."
I really want to curse in my heart, you, the wife of Ning Guofu, are such a waste, you don’t know anything!
But, alas, seeing Youshi looking so pitiful, I might as well forget it.
Jia Mu continued to ask Wang Ziteng: "What about Brother Yun's life experience? Is it possible that he is not of our family's blood?"
Wang Ziteng said: "I have not found out the truth about this matter."
A depressed look appeared on Jia Mu's face, and she thought to herself: You are a high-ranking official. I asked you to find out two things, but you couldn't find out any of them!
However, Jia Mu knew that she had no right to lose her temper with Wang Ziteng. Wang Ziteng was not only a high-ranking official but also a member of the Wang family.
Jia Yun was only a second-grade high-ranking official and was of Rongguo Mansion's bloodline, and had received a lot of favors from Rongguo Mansion. She lost her temper with Jia Yun. Although Jia's mother had some concerns, she still believed that she had such qualifications.
Seeing Jia Mu's depression, Wang Ziteng paused and said, "However, I do have some guesses about this matter."
Jia Mu hurriedly asked: "What's your guess?"
Wang Ziteng said: "Based on what the emperor asked yesterday when he summoned the old lady, I suspect that Brother Yun may not be a child of your Jia family, but was secretly arranged by Shuizhen and Daihua Gong to be adopted by Jia Zhuo and Bu.
My brother’s biological father and mother may be someone else.”
Jia Mu's face became even more depressed. What the hell, you still need to say this? I thought of it when the emperor asked me yesterday!
Wang Ziteng added: "Furthermore, Brother Yun was Jia Zhuo back then, and Bu brought him back to Shenjing City from Jinling. It can be seen that Brother Yun's biological father and mother may be related to Jinling, and they should have extraordinary status, otherwise the emperor would not care this time."
Regarding this matter, I also summoned the old lady, the eldest master, and the second master for questioning."
Mother Jia frowned and said, "I'm wondering what misunderstanding this is. Brother Yun is clearly a descendant of my Jia family and a bloodline of my Rong family. How could he suddenly become someone else's brother?"
"Our family has worked hard to train Brother Yun to be a high-ranking official today. No matter who he is, don't let him change his name or surname. He is Jia Yun, and his surname is Jia!"
The prince paused and said: "Old lady, there are some things I can't say at all, but although my Wang family and your Jia family have two surnames, they have been in close contact with each other for many years. Each one will suffer, and each will be prosperous. Support
Covering up and taking care of everything, it’s like a family.”
"I'm not exaggerating. Brother Yun is now in danger. I'm afraid he, the commander of Jinyi Mansion, will meet a miserable end soon!"
"The old lady should ask the Rong family to cut off the relationship with Brother Yun. If Brother Yun is really someone else's brother, it would be a good thing. If not, the old lady had better ask the family to cut off contact with him. Anyway, he is not
He is not a direct descendant of the family, just a side branch."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As soon as these words came out, Jia Mu, Jia She, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, Wang Xifeng, and Mrs. You were all shocked.
Before Jia Mu could ask, Aunt Xue couldn't help but ask: "How do you say this?"
Immediately, Wang Ziteng explained in detail the things that Jia Yun had done to offend people in the past six months as the commander of the Jinyi Mansion, including the time when Jia Yun went to Yangzhou to urge donations and the discovery of an account book of corrupt officials in the Lianghuai Salt Industry.
thing……
Emperor Tianzhi has made the matter of the account books public, and has ordered all the corrupt officials in the account books to pay the crime penalty, including many relatives of the emperor, princes and ministers, and has strictly ordered that if they do not voluntarily pay within the time limit, they will be severely punished.
If you offend again in the future, you will be severely punished.
Jia Mu and others were all frightened after hearing this. Jia She hurriedly said: "This... this is not bad. After offending so many noble people, how can that boy have a good end? Old lady, hurry up, cut off all contact with him.
, declare that he is not a descendant of our Jia family, otherwise our family will suffer disaster!"
Mrs.
It's his turn to do it if he dares to do it. Even if he's not afraid of death, don't bring trouble to our family!"
When Jia Mu heard what the two said, she calmed down a bit and glared at them respectively: "Why are you panicking! Such a big thing happened in Dongfu this time, and it didn't affect our house. Even if Brother Yun is in trouble in the future,
Something will happen, so how can it easily involve our family?"
Jia Mu looked at Wang Ziteng with dissatisfaction: "What's more, this matter is just Mr. Wang's speculation at the moment. Whether it will be the case in the future is still unknown!"
Wang Ziteng frowned and turned to Aunt Xue: "Sister, the marriage between Bao Yatou and Brother Yun has been called off."
Aunt Xue: "..."
She had been looking forward to this marriage for a long time, and had even prepared a large dowry.
She had worried before that Jia Yun would postpone the wedding due to some changes, or that Jia Yun would not want to marry Xue Baochai and would break off the engagement for some reason.
But she never thought that one day the Xue family would take the initiative to break off their engagement with Jia Yun.
This... this kind of thing was really ridiculous to her before today!
However, after hearing these words from Wang Ziteng, Aunt Xue hesitated in her heart. She was very scared!
Originally, she was counting on relying on Jia Yun to bring benefits to the Xue family, but the entire Xue family would have to be buried with her. Even if the Xue family would not be affected, her precious daughter Xue Baochai would definitely suffer along with Jia Yun, and she would also
Very distressed!
Mrs. Wang spoke: "Is it really necessary to break off the engagement?"
Wang Ziteng said: "I am thinking about the Xue family. Based on what Brother Yun has done in the past six months, once Bao Yatou marries him and becomes his wife, the Xue family as her natal family will most likely suffer. At that time, even I will
It’s hard to protect you.”
There was something Wang Ziteng didn't say, that is, he was afraid that this matter would implicate him.
He is now the main backer of the Xue family in Rongguo Mansion. If the Xue family in Rongguo Mansion is implicated because of Jia Yun, then he may be in danger, or at least it will be very troublesome.
After all, Jia Yun had offended many noble people, and Wang Ziteng knew Emperor Tianzhi well and knew that he was a ruthless and profit-oriented emperor who was very rational and less emotional.
Wang Ziteng even predicted that Jia Yun would most likely be executed by Emperor Tianzhi himself in the future, and would not die a good death.
Aunt Xue hesitated. Although she admired Wang Ziteng as her brother, Jia Mu had just said that this matter was just Wang Ziteng's speculation at the moment, and it was unknown whether it would come true.
Aunt Xue was really unwilling to let Xue Baochai's second-class wife disappear just like that.
Mrs. Wang spoke again: "Even if you ask Brother Yun to cancel the engagement, Brother Yun won't be willing, right?"
Wang Ziteng's expression became majestic: "If you agree, I will go and tell him about this matter. Even though he is now in a high and powerful position, is it possible that he still doesn't take me seriously? At the worst, I can just compensate him with some gold and silver."
Mother Jia is depressed again. Huh, Jia Yun is still a bloodline of Rong Guofu after all. You are discussing the matter of breaking off the engagement with Jia Yun in front of me, including Mrs. Wang, who is a rip-off. How can it be unreasonable!
Mother Jia said: "I will discuss this matter with the second master when he comes to his house. Please forgive me for not being able to accompany him as I am getting older!"
After saying this, Jia Mu stood up and prepared to leave.
The prince stood up and said: "Old lady, that's all I have to say today. There is no need to say more. If the old lady does not allow the family to cut off contact with Brother Yun in the future, then if the family is affected by Brother Yun in the future, it will be
Don’t come to me for help.”
Mother Jia's eyes widened with anger: "..."
It's amazing, it's amazing, this Wang Ziteng actually dared to threaten her face to face!
If it hadn't been for Jia Daishan's recommendation to Emperor Kangxing, how could Wang Ziteng have taken over as the governor of the Beijing camp, and how would he have become the high-ranking official he is today!
However, Jia Mu also knows that Wang Ziteng is very powerful now. How can he be afraid of the Jia family now that he has been mixed up in the court to this extent?
Wang Ziteng said to Aunt Xue again: "Are you going to return this marriage or not?"
Aunt Xue hesitated and said: "I... I will think about it again and reply tomorrow, okay?"
Wang Ziteng said: "Forget it, ask Pan'er to find me tomorrow. If you withdraw from this marriage, I will go and tell Brother Yun. If you don't withdraw, don't blame me for being ruthless as an elder brother. From now on, your Xue family will
I don't care anymore!
After saying this, Wang Ziteng turned and left.
Jia Mu was so angry that she stamped her feet: "How can this not make sense? How can it not make sense!"
Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, and Wang Xifeng, the three Wang family members, were all embarrassed.
After Jia Mu left, Aunt Xue left in a hurry and went back to Lixiangyuan to discuss with Xue Baochai.
…
…
Northeast corner of Rongguo Mansion, Lixiangyuan.
Xue Baochai was shutting herself up in her boudoir, which was as elegant as ever, and even Ying'er dismissed her.
She was sitting alone by the desk, quietly looking at a piece of calligraphy, which was written by Jia Yun herself. Jia Yun specially asked Xiang Ling to give it to her in secret the day before yesterday.
It is written in a sentence: Flowers float and water flows, a kind of lovesickness, two places of leisurely sorrow.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There is also a note, which roughly means that Jia Yun wrote it because she missed her when she was in Yangzhou.
Now Jia Yun secretly gave this calligraphy to her, obviously expressing her pain of lovesickness.
And she really liked it, really liked this good calligraphy, really liked this good sentence, and even more, she liked his lovesickness for her.
Next to it is a picture that she wrote the day before yesterday. It is also a sentence: There is no way to eliminate this feeling, so I lower my brows, but it is in my heart.
Obviously, this text is her reply to him.
She really wanted to give him her own calligraphy.
However, he was not ashamed of this kind of thing, but as a lady who was about to marry him, she was ashamed.
What's more, he could ask Xiang Ling to give it to her quietly, but she couldn't ask someone to give it to him quietly. Could it be that he asked Ying'er to send it to her? If he asked his eldest maid to send it to her, people would laugh if they found out.
At this time, Xue Baochai stood up and walked to a wooden box. After opening the wooden box, there were many clothes, shoes, sweat towels, sachets, etc. inside.
These are all made by her own hands. These things are full of her longing for him. She plans to give them to him after they get married this year. This is her affection for him and a way of expressing her love for him.
.
Looking through the things in the box at this moment, Xue Baochai felt a sense of accomplishment and sweetness, and asked quietly in her heart: You will marry me this year, right? You won't delay the marriage, let alone cancel it, right?
In fact, she was also worried about him delaying the marriage, and even more worried about her calling it off.
At this moment, Aunt Xue opened the door and walked in, followed by Yinger. Xue Baochai was startled and subconsciously said: "Mom, why didn't you knock on the door?"
Aunt Xue said: "I'm so anxious right now, I can't even bother knocking on the door!"
Xue Baochai stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"
Aunt Xue immediately told Xue Baochai in detail what Wang Ziteng had said today.
Xue Baochai's face changed greatly when he heard this.
Aunt Xue said: "My dear daughter, do you think we should break off our engagement now that things have happened?"
