After all, she is just a little girl, and her attraction to Jia Lian is limited.
After simply teaching her two moves, Jia Lian Shi Shiran came out of Ning Xuantang.
As soon as he arrived at the compound, he saw the housekeeper coming looking for him, saying that Jia Zheng and others were looking for him.
It's because of Youshi's incident.
Youshi acted very quickly. After getting the assurance from Jia Lian, he immediately spread the news that she was pregnant.
At this critical moment, this news even suppressed the fact that Jia Rong committed suicide in jail for fear of crime.
Jia Jing was originally planning to discuss with Jia Zheng and others about which clan to choose as his heir to support the lintel of Ningguo Mansion.
Jia Jing was very surprised when he heard the news.
No one wants to have no descendants, not even Jia Jing, who is dedicated to seeking the Tao.
If you can have biological descendants to inherit the family business, who would want to find one from a side branch?
Although You may not be pregnant with a son this time, it is finally possible, right?
Even for him, when he thinks about handing over his ancestor's inheritance to the children of the partial lineage, he still feels very uncomfortable. He feels that he is an unworthy descendant, unworthy of his father and unworthy of his grandfather!
Therefore, if the daughter-in-law can give birth to a son in this pregnancy, it is natural that her own grandson should inherit the family business.
With this thought in his mind, Jia Jing no longer had the idea of adopting a child from his clan.
Jia Zheng also saw what Jia Jing was thinking. He said, "In that case, please stay at home and support the family for the time being. After your daughter-in-law gives birth, you can worry about this matter again."
When Jia Jing heard this, he felt a little embarrassed.
Youshi had only been pregnant for a month, and there was still more than half a year before giving birth. However, thinking that Jia Zheng's statement was reasonable and for the sake of Ning Guofu, he could only nod reluctantly: "That's all it can do."
Seeing the most intense matter that was supposed to be discussed suddenly end like this, one can't help but become suspicious.
"It stands to reason that my sister-in-law has been married to Brother Zhen for so many years and has nothing to do. Why did she get pregnant at this time?"
When one person started, several people immediately joined in.
They all come here by smell.
The Ningguo Mansion has cut off its inheritance. If they can send their own son or grandson in, it will be a chance for them to make a comeback!
They had planned to fight for it for a long time, so how could they be willing to lose the opportunity like this?
So one by one they began to make malicious speculations. If they weren't worried about Jia Jing sitting on it, they would probably have said many more unpleasant things.
Everyone present was not stupid. Although it seemed that they were just complaining, everyone soon understood that they were doubting the purity of the blood in Youshi's belly!
Jia Jing's face suddenly turned ugly.
If these people were just making completely unfounded speculations, he could naturally rebuke them angrily.
However, upon reflection, he felt that everyone's suspicions were not completely unreasonable.
Come to think of it, it’s not just a day or two for my son and grandson to run wild at home. Under such circumstances, it’s not completely impossible for my daughter-in-law...
"snort!"
While everyone was talking about it, Jia Lian walked in from the door.
With a cold face, he walked to the front, looked around at everyone, and sneered: "Nowadays, there are quite a few people in our two houses who are gossiping behind our backs, and the only ones missing are our own family!
Don't think that I don't know what some of you have in mind.
Your eyes are all red when you see Brother Zhen and Rong'er going there one after another. In order to get a share of the family fortune that doesn't belong to you, you actually dare to slander even the mother of the clan at will?
I leave my words here today. If any of you have evidence to prove that what Sister-in-law Zhen is carrying in her belly is not of my Jia family’s blood, or any proof that Sister-in-law Zhen is not chaste, you’d better get it now.
come out.
If you can't get it out, then don't blame me, I will punish you for framing the clan mother and trying to extinguish Changfang's bloodline!"
Jia Zhen is the clan leader, and You is naturally the mother of the Jia family.
Originally, her status should have been very noble, but it was only because Jia Zhen had always been willful and arbitrary and did not give You the dignity she deserved that the family did not respect You enough.
In addition, the You family is indeed in decline, so these people dare to make remarks that can cause death.
But Jia Lian is different.
Nowadays, the number of people in the two mansions is declining, and the only ones who can represent the family are Jia Jing, Jia Zheng, and Jia Lian.
Even because Jia Lian has a title inherited from the family and is currently the highest-ranking person in the family. In the minds of many people, he even represents the family better than Jia Jing and Jia Zheng.
After all, Jia Jing doesn't care about anything at first glance, and Jia Zheng is not much different.
But Jia Lian was in his prime, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that in the future, Jia Lian would definitely be in charge of most affairs in the two houses of the Jia family.
To put it bluntly, only the Ningrong and Ningrong Houses of the Jia family are truly noble, and the other branches are living off the glory of these two houses.
At this time, who dares to offend Jia Lian?
Therefore, when Jia Lian stood up and criticized those people with evil intentions, no one dared to say anything.
Jia Lian didn't hold them back. Seeing that he had calmed them down, he turned around and cupped his hands with Jia Jing and said: "I respect my uncle, although Brother Zhen did do some wrong things in the past, but people are not saints, how can anyone be without fault?
If anyone thinks that based on this, they can slander my Jia family and Ningguo Mansion at will, thereby achieving their own ulterior motives, then they have made a wrong calculation."
Jia Jing, who was originally in a bad mood due to everyone's doubts, suddenly looked at Jia Lian gratefully.
It's rare that this nephew can actually speak for their elder brother at this juncture.
Just as he was about to say something, Jia Lian continued: "Sister-in-law Zhen's character has been noticed by so many people in our two houses for so many years.
Even the old lady always praises her, saying that Sister-in-law Zhen is a virtuous and sensible person.
Now that Changfang is in trouble, so many of us have gathered together to help Changfang overcome this difficulty, not to add insult to injury.
Besides, children’s bloodline is determined by destiny.
Since ancient times, it has always been a common thing to have a child. Is it rare anymore?
What's more, Brother Zhen is only just over 40 years old. How can you use this as a basis to say that Brother Zhen can no longer have children?
Furthermore, Uncle Jing’s knees were originally weak in blood, but now Brother Zhen and Rong’er both passed away within just two days.
Perhaps God is taking pity on him and cannot bear to see a highly respected and enlightened person like Uncle Jing lose his bloodline, so it is not necessary to send a grandson to Uncle Jing at this time.
How dare you question God's blessings without fear of being punished by God?"
After saying these words, Jia Lian still felt a little uncomfortable.
But there is no way, who is a man of the times, just follow this method? It doesn't make sense to talk about logic, so just talk about the natural cycle and karma, which is absolutely correct in this era. Besides, others can't explain the truth to him.
Therefore, in the face of Jia Lian's righteous indignation, everyone in the hall not only did not dare to speak, but also did not even dare to show a strange expression to Jia Lian, for fear of being dragged out and criticized by Jia Lian as a heretic.
Jia Jing was even more moved by Jia Lian's words that he devoted himself to Ningguo Mansion and the family's righteousness.
He stood up with his cane, looked at Jia Lian and said: "Okay, okay, it is a blessing for our entire Jia family to have a person like Brother Lian who understands justice and understands things well.
With you here, even if I return to Xuanzhen Temple in the future, I won’t have to worry too much about my family’s affairs!”
Jia Jing gave Jia Lian a few complimentary looks, then he used his cane, looked at the rest of the family, and hummed: "You all heard what Brother Lian said just now? Although I, Jia Jing, teach his son and grandson Wu Fang
, but this is not the reason for you to bully me, Ningguo Mansion.
If I hear you slandering my Ningguo Mansion for no reason again, don't blame me for being unkind."
After all, Jia Jing is the eldest son of the third generation of the family. He was once a high school Jinshi. He also needs to be dignified and respectable.
Regarding Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, he had also apologized before for embarrassing the family.
So when Jia Lian mentioned it, he immediately realized that people from other houses were indeed going too far and wanted to plot against his Ningguo Mansion's foundation. Naturally, he had to take advantage of the situation and fight back.
But for this reason, other matters cannot be discussed for the time being.
Therefore, Jia Jing only nodded slightly to the two or three elders in the hall, as well as Jia Lian, and then went into the back hall with his crutch.
He wanted to make his attitude clear. Later, Jia Zheng and others would send someone to say good things to him and express their apology.
He took care of it a little more, and then everyone could continue to sit together and still be a family that loves each other.
