On the fifth day after Jia Lian arrived in Yangzhou, Zhen Feng, who was only in his early thirties but looked like someone in his late fifties, happened to arrive at the Lin Mansion.
Zhen Feng's face, with a look of sorrow on her face, does bear some resemblance to Xiang Ling's. Zhen Feng is wearing a Jingchai cloth skirt, and is leading two maids similarly dressed in plain clothes. She is looking at Jia Lian with anticipation and fear.
.
Sighing, Jia Lian understood what Zhen Feng was afraid of. She was afraid of another disappointment and another heartbreak! But despite her fear, she still came!
In the era of information explosion in his previous life, Jia Lian had seen too many tragedies and comedies, but when such a thing really happened in front of him, Jia Lian found that he was far from being as calm as he imagined.
He waved his hand and signaled Zhiyu to take Zhen Fengshi to see Xiangling, and then asked someone to ask for a doctor to come over, just in case.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for bursts of heartbreaking yet ecstatic cries to be heard faintly from the right wing...
…
"Thank you, noble man! Thank you very much, noble man! Your great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten by the Zhen family. If there is an afterlife, the little woman will definitely work as a cow or a horse, and weave a ring of grass to repay you!"
"Get up! This girl Xiangling is destined to be with me. I always believe that there are more people with kind thoughts in this world.
Zhen Fengshi, I wonder what your plans will be in the future?"
"Back to the young master, the young lady plans to take her daughter back to join her father, Yinglian's grandfather."
"Grandfather? As far as I know, that old fool has obtained more than 60% of Zhen Shiyin's family wealth in his own name in the past few years under various names. Also, if anyone in the Zhen family wants to wipe out your family in the future,
Do you think that old guy will protect you and Xiangling?"
"This...this...he is Yinglian's grandfather after all. He shouldn't be so heartless..."
"Humph...that's all. I will show you the way. As for how to go, you decide for yourself. There are two docks in Yangzhou and Jinling. The people in charge are all retired guards of my Rongguo Mansion. There are only a few men in the group.
If you are able to manage things, you can be a steward, and then recruit some servants to take care of their logistics."
"Thank you very much, Master. Since you are able to get the young lady, she will do your best."
Zhen Feng is not a fool. She was also the matron who managed Zhen Shiyin's large family property. How could she not know her father's thoughts? Before, she had lost all hope. She only had a few things outside her body, and the only thing left to rely on was what her father wanted.
So she gave it to him. But things are different now. Now her daughter is back! As the saying goes, a mother must be strong. How could she, a mother, not make some plans for her daughter?
"You take Xiang Ling there to live there, and you don't have to worry about being bullied. Not to mention whether they dare or not, uh... have you seen that girl?"
As he spoke, Jia Lian raised his chin nervously and gestured to Xiang Ling, who was holding her hand all the time.
"This girl and your Xiang Ling have been together for many years. They love each other as sisters. No matter what, no one will bully Xiang Ling!"
"Hehe, mother, sister Sissi is going to be our father's little wife!"
However, Xiang Ling, who was usually cute and cute, saw that her mother, Zhen Fengshi, seemed a little confused and suddenly said such a sentence, which immediately made Sissi feel embarrassed and annoyed.
"You Xiangling, how dare you rebel? See if I don't tear your mouth apart today, sister!"
"Ah! Sister, please forgive me, it was you who said that you have to face our second master at all times..."
Xiangling was chased by the embarrassed Sissi. She circled around the hall laughing and then ran out of the door.
"Haha, Mrs. Zhen, Xiao Xiangling has become much more lively after you came here. You have experienced great sorrow and joy in the past few days, so you will stay here to recuperate for a while. By the way, you will cultivate a relationship with Xiangling. When the Japanese master returns to Shenjing City later,
I'm arranging for you to stay in Jinling, which is closer to Suzhou after all. If Zhen Shiyin comes back one day, you can reunite as a family."
Zhen Feng was in a good position, and at this time she could only shed tears of gratitude towards Jia Lian and obey his orders.
…
"Second Master!"
"Um?"
"I don't want to be your little wife!"
"Why? Are you not ready to take responsibility again? Are you going to give up after all?"
"What! I just accidentally walked into the wrong room that day, why do I have to be your little wife?"
"Then I don't care! Is my innocent body just being looked at by you in vain? But if you are really the lost daughter of a prince's family, then I wouldn't mind giving you the position of an equal wife."
"Luanluoluo~ The second master is shameless. The lost noble daughter of the prince's family will be your equal wife. Why don't you think about the royal princess?"
"Hey, how do you know that Second Master I haven't thought about it?"
"..."
"Xiang Ling will stay in Jinling from now on. I'll go find her to be naughty."
Sissi silently gave Jia Lian a cup of hot tea, gave Jia Lian a roll of her eyes, said a few words, and went out, leaving only Zhiyu covering her mouth and snickering.
"Why are you laughing? Sister Zhiyu, you can't run away. Sooner or later, you will be my second master!"
Zhiyu didn't refute him, but just smiled softly, which made Jia Lian's heart tingle.
At this moment, Jia Sidao came in a hurry.
"General, please report urgently from Shenjing City: Jia Zhu, the eldest grandson of the second wife in the mansion, suddenly fell ill and died suddenly!"
"..."
Jia Lian was stunned for a while, was he really dead?
Is this dead?
I should be high...I should be sad!
It's just that given Wang's temperament, Jia Zhu suddenly died. Li Wan, who was married in with a "happy" intention, may have a hard time. I don't know if Jia Lan is in Li Wan's belly now.
.
If this kid is already pregnant, then it's okay. If not, then Li Wan is afraid...
No, I have to go back and take a look!
Jia Lian found Jia Min who was playing with Xiao Daiyu. He first asked Lu Xiaobai to send Xiao Daiyu away, and then told Jia Min about Jia Zhu's death from illness.
"Ah? How could this happen? Brother Zhu just got married last year, didn't he? This...how can this happen..."
"I originally planned to go back at the end of the year, but now that something like this has happened at home and my father can't come forward, I'm afraid my nephew will return to Beijing in the next couple of days."
"Well, you have been out for more than half a year, so it's really time for you to go back. I'll send someone to Yanzheng Yamen to invite your uncle back. Let's have a meal as a family in the evening and make some preparations. Lian'er, you can leave early tomorrow morning."
After saying that, Jia Min also looked at Jia Lian with great reluctance. This guy came to Jiangnan and made her go through two separations in a row. He is really a little enemy...
Lin Ruhai hurried back to the house again. After learning about Jia Zhu, he could only feel sorry for it. He and Zheng Laoer had a good relationship.
Lin Ruhai and Jia Min each wrote a letter and prepared a large number of gifts for Jia Lian to take, and then asked Jia Lian to return to Beijing the next day. The transportation in this era was extremely underdeveloped, and the Lin family had no older generation to help, and Jia Min
There are two little ones who need to be looked after all the time, and it is impossible for them to follow Jia Lian back to her parents' home either emotionally or rationally.
Even if Jia Lian did have this idea, he could only give up in the end!
He could only suppress his worries about Jia Min in his heart, that's all! Let's go back to his sister-in-law to find some comfort...
