The reason why Jia Mu was summoned was just as Jia Lian expected, it was about the follow-up issues of Ningguo Mansion.
Not to mention Jia Zhen's funeral, the Ningguo Mansion was completely destroyed after two generations passed away.
How to ensure the inheritance of Ningguo Mansion is what Jia Mu and others are most concerned about now.
Previously in Ningguo Mansion, there were some things that were hard to say in front of You and others.
After leaving Ningguo Mansion, Jia Mu, Jia Zheng and others had a serious discussion. At this time, Jia Lian was called over just to listen to his opinion.
I don’t know since when, major events in the Jia family could not avoid Jia Lian at all.
"Lian'er, according to you, can Brother Rong be saved?"
In the inner hall of Rongqing Hall, there were only two people, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and they were both very concerned about this issue.
Jia Lian asked back: "I wonder what the master said before?"
Mrs. Wang sighed: "Your master said that Brother Rong murdered his father, and the evidence is conclusive. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get away with it."
Mrs. Wang did not say it completely, Jia Zheng also said that not only would there be no chance of getting away with the crime, but if the matter was not handled properly, the family's reputation would suffer huge losses.
Moreover, most of the clan elders also believe that such disobedient and unfilial descendants should die. Not only will they die, but they will also open an ancestral hall, revise the genealogy, and kick Jia Rong out of the family forever.
Only a small number of people think that for the sake of the family's interests, it is better to bring Jia Rong back if possible.
One is to continue the direct lineage of the eldest son, and the other is to facilitate the inheritance of the title of eldest son.
If Ning Guofu died of heirs, the imperial court would probably cancel the title.
"Old lady, please don't worry, madam, although the evidence of Brother Rong's crime seems conclusive at present, I still feel that that boy Rong'er doesn't have the guts to do such a heinous thing.
Therefore, my manpower is still searching there carefully to see if we can find any other evidence.
In addition, tomorrow I will go to the Shuntian Mansion Prison to visit Brother Rong in person. As long as he is serious and innocent, I will find a way to reverse his case no matter what."
Jia Mu and others did not expect that Jia Lian would still want to reverse the case for Jia Rong at this time.
They all learned all the facts from Jia Zheng and others, and accepted that Jia Rong could not bear the shame Jia Zhen brought him, so she committed the crime impulsively.
"Although we are all saddened by what happened, but...
That's all, after all, it was their own lack of virtue that ultimately led to such disasters.
I have discussed it with you and your wife. For the sake of the inheritance of their house, no matter whether Ronger was wrongly accused or not, we should find a way to rescue Ronger.
I understand that you have been busy for most of the night, so I didn't call you just now, so that you can go to him tomorrow to discuss this matter when you are free."
Jia Mu said.
Regardless of whether he was wrongly accused or not, the implication is that Jia Mu has admitted that Jia Rong is guilty and only wanted to save him for the sake of the family.
For example, help him find a scapegoat or something like that.
Jia Lian suddenly became resolute: "Old lady Qi, please forgive me for speaking frankly.
If Rong'er is innocent, then as an elder, even if I try my best to turn the two houses over, I will definitely find a way to restore his innocence.
If so, if he really commits such a treasonous act, it would be a shame to die."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang turned her eyes and said, "But if Brother Rong really dies, Dongfu will have no heirs. What will happen to the huge family property over there?"
Jia Lian turned around, looked at Mrs. Wang, and said with a smile: "We have eliminated the heir, but we can still inherit it.
There are so many children in our Jia family, I don't believe that we can't find a good boy who knows etiquette and filial piety."
While talking, Jia Lian looked at Mrs. Wang thoughtfully.
Mrs. Wang seemed to feel something, but did not show it. She still asked seriously: "About Chengsi, your master also mentioned it just now. I was just worried that Mr. Jing over there would not be willing."
If you have a biological grandson, who would want to find someone else to inherit your family business?
Jia Lian smiled inwardly. Jia Mu and others had even considered it, and it seemed that they were completely ready to give up on Jia Rong.
"Madam, there is no need to worry about this. If Mr. Jing can find a way to rescue Brother Rong and exonerate him, then of course we have nothing to say.
If not, I believe Mr. Jing will know how to choose."
Jia Jing and Jia Lian have also met.
A person who even gave up his family in order to cultivate Taoism and refine elixirs. Such a person may not be willing to run around in the mortal world again.
Besides, even if he wanted to, a man who had been away from worldly affairs for more than ten years would not have the ability to get Jia Rong, who had committed a capital crime, out of prison.
Therefore, even if Jia Jing comes back, he can only accept the family's arrangements honestly.
Although Jia Lian's tone seemed disrespectful to Jia Jing, Jia's mother and others had no intention of worrying.
Originally, Jia Jing, as the master of Ningguo Mansion, was still a Jinshi. He lived a good life and did not fulfill his family obligations. He became a Taoist priest instead, so he was not liked by Jia's mother and others.
Jia Mu also suddenly looked at Jia Lian and asked in a low voice: "So, in your opinion, who among the younger members of the family should be chosen to inherit the family?"
Perhaps the stakes involved were too great, and even Jia Mu could not maintain her respectable image.
"On this point, naturally the elders of the family can come together to discuss the matter.
But if you really ask me, if the old lady and my wife are willing to give up, I think Brother Bao is quite suitable, hehehe."
Jia Lian said casually.
Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang immediately looked at each other, feeling indescribable in their hearts.
They didn't expect that Jia Lian would actually say that, and they didn't know whether it was just a casual comment or whether he was trying to figure out their thoughts.
Finally Jia Mu replied: "No, your precious brother is the only son of your husband and wife. In the future, we will wait for him to provide for your husband and wife until they die."
Besides, you also know that I can’t bear to let go of your precious brother. It’s inappropriate, it’s inappropriate, so don’t say it again.”
There was something sincere in Jia Mu's words.
Even Mrs. Wang nodded secretly, which didn't seem to be hypocritical.
Jia Lian smiled inwardly.
Of course he knew the hesitation and entanglement of Jia Mu and others.
If the Ningguo Mansion really needs an heir, Jia Baoyu is definitely not a suitable candidate.
First of all, according to the human bloodline, even if the Ningguo Mansion is extinct, the heir should be selected from the recent branches of the Ningguo Mansion.
For example, Jia Qiang and so on.
Secondly, using Jia Baoyu's status as a direct descendant of Rongguo Mansion to compete for the heirship of Ningguo Mansion will cause controversy.
It seems that Jia Zheng and others are shameless and that the Rongguo Mansion deliberately invades the Ningguo Mansion's property.
Third, Jia Baoyu is too important in the hearts of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and they are reluctant to let Jia Baoyu be their son or grandson for others! Even if it is only in name, this will make their love unjustifiable. , heartbroken.
But then again, the inheritance rights of a prince's palace, such a huge benefit lies here. Who wouldn't want to give it to his beloved if there is a chance?
Therefore, Jia Lian could see that Jia Mu and others definitely had this intention in mind, otherwise, they would not ask him this question.
Of course, Jia Lian didn't care much about these, because he knew that this matter would not be so simple...
With such a scandal happening in the Ningguo Mansion, it is not certain whether the title can still be inherited. It depends on the attitude of the superiors.
Moreover, no matter who inherits the Ningguo Mansion, he must be controlled by him. Based on this principle, Jia Lian naturally prefers to choose a "puppet" who is younger and has a weak foundation.
