Yuan Chun and Mrs. Wang were dumbfounded by Jia Mu's scolding. Yuan Chun hurriedly said: "Ancestor, I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jia Mu interrupted them and said, "Madam, we came in a hurry just now and didn't have time to say anything. Now let me tell you that our family has been divided."
"Wha, what? The family is separated?" Yuan Chun felt like he was struck by lightning.
Jia's mother sneered and said: "Some days ago, our family was divided. Your uncle took over the ancestral property. Your father and mother moved to the place where the Houtou people live and put up a sign called Jia's House. From now on, your mother's family is Jia's family.
Home is no longer Rongguo Mansion."
Yuanchun looked at Jia Mu in disbelief: The family was separated? The family was separated in the house?
In the eyes of outsiders, the Jia family is not divided into clans.
But Jia Yuanchun knew that this meant that his background would plummet.
She was directly transformed from the eldest lady of Rongguo Mansion to the eldest daughter of a fifth-rank official.
The change in status is enough to lower one's net worth and status by two levels.
Even if she was intact, she would only be looked down upon in the palace.
However, she is a dignified concubine, how could the family be separated like this?
Yuanchun looked shocked and shook his head: I really can’t believe it.
Mrs. Wang held the original hand distressedly and said: "Empress, you..."
Yuan Chun threw away Mrs. Wang's hand, took Jia Mu's hand and screamed: "Old Ancestor, how could you just let the family be separated in the palace? How much does the palace value birthplace? No one is noble.
No one looks down on me because of my background. Ancestor, how can you separate the family...Are you really so hard-hearted now that you no longer care about the life and death of our Jia family for the sake of the Lin family?"
Jia Mu shook off Yuan Chun's hand, shed tears and said in a hoarse voice: "Why am I so hard-hearted that I don't care about your life or death? I told you what to do, but what about you? You just want to go to the other side.
Tao? Why are you so naive? Is this heresy so easy to follow? It has already been self-defeating once, do you want to do it again and make the whole family follow you with no way out? "
"Your uncle Lin will preside over the Spring Festival next year, and then he will join the cabinet. If you give him ten thousand courages at this time, he will not dare to interfere in this matter. And your cousin Lin is far away in Songjiang, and he is your majesty's good fortune.
Boy, what can you do? Besides, the Lin family wants to be pure ministers, but if you insist on forcing him like this, his father and son will definitely refuse to comply in order to protect the Lin family and your cousin Lin. At that time, isn't it just forcing him?
Are you severing ties with our family? You are forcing your grandmother to cut off her biological daughter!"
"Besides, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot have both ends. In order to be loyal, people have no choice but not to be filial to me, an old woman. If word spreads, outsiders will only say that they are loyal and righteous, and that our family has no shame. In the end, things will not work out, and our family
If your reputation is gone, you will not be able to lose anything. You will also make the Sacred Heart furious and you will never be able to recover!
Jia Mu is really heartbroken. She is seventy or eighty years old. She has been cultivating her body and cherishing her blessings for so long, but her brain is not dull at all, and her words are not dozing off.
Just listen to her continue: "Why are you so brainless? Ah? You only want to let your Uncle Lin and Cousin Lin speak for you, but why don't you think about it? Will Your Majesty let them speak for you?
If Your Majesty is not willing, even if the King of Heaven speaks for you, it will only harm you and all of us!"
Yuanchun was stunned and his face turned completely white.
After all, she was just an ordinary noblewoman. She did not have the harsh and substantial knowledge reserves and palace struggles like Liu E and Wu Mei. Her vision and brains could not have imagined that far.
When Mother Jia looked at her, Qiga shook her head and sighed: "Big girl, you blame grandma for not caring about her kindness and not helping you, but you also have to understand that there are some things that grandma has the intention to help you with, but she has no intention of helping you.
It’s a matter of skill.”
…
Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang left the palace in silence. When the carriage and horses arrived at Rongning Street, Mrs. Wang didn't even say a word to Jia Mu, and just ordered the carriage and horses to go home.
When the matter reached this point and Jia Mu refused to save her daughter, Mrs. Wang would of course have to think about it carefully.
Do you think that without your unruly daughter and her family, there is nothing I can do to save my empress?
Old lady, have you forgotten that my eldest brother Wang Ziteng is now in charge of the inspection of nine provinces. He has a high position and a very important voice. Please ask him for help. Could it be that my daughter cannot regain the favor of God?
After Jia Mu found out about Mrs. Wang's movements, she didn't say anything, and she didn't bother to say anything: just leave it to her, she wouldn't be able to cause any big trouble anyway. At most, it would just be a waste of more money. She thought that her mother's family would not
Do you know how to save your life?
Although Wang Ziteng was promoted to a high-ranking official in the nine provinces because of his connections with the Jia family, without his own ability and brains, he would have been left aside long ago.
As long as those Zhuangzi shops are still in Jingui's hands, Baoyu's future life will still be guaranteed.
But when Mrs. Wang arrived at the Wang family, she met her sister-in-law, Mrs. Wang Ziteng, and presented her with rich gifts. First, she made Mrs. Wang Ziteng very happy and comfortable, and then casually asked: "Sister-in-law, I don't know when the eldest brother will come back."
Jing? You’re so busy, you haven’t come back for years.”
Mrs. Wang Ziteng is also a master of house fighting. When she saw the gift brought by Mrs. Wang, she felt somewhat clear in her heart. When she heard Mrs. Wang's words, she felt a sense of vigilance in her heart. A light flashed in her eyes and she said with a smile: "Your elder brother
What kind of temperament do you have, don’t you know yet? I am devoted to my official duties, and I must give my best to the errands assigned by Your Majesty."
Mrs. Wang chuckled and said: "Actually, it's nothing. Didn't I go to the palace today? The queen is very concerned about her uncle. When she was chatting with His Majesty some time ago, she had already begged His Majesty and said that she would transfer her uncle back to Beijing.
.How about I come over quickly and tell my sister-in-law, so that you can be happy first."
Mrs. Wang smiled happily, and her face was like a spring breeze.
Mrs. Wang Ziteng was shocked.
Why did Wang Ziteng not come back during the New Year? Mrs. Wang Ziteng had no idea.
I was just afraid that the one in the palace would cause trouble and the Wang family would be implicated.
Whenever Wang Ziteng wrote a letter back to Beijing, he would give numerous instructions to his wife. Mrs. Wang Ziteng was not only of good family background, but also literate and well-versed in principles. She always kept her husband's instructions in mind.
So as soon as Mrs. Wang mentioned this matter, Mrs. Wang Ziteng's heart immediately went crazy.
She just smiled lightly and said: "Then I have to thank you more, but I heard that your brother's errand is at a critical moment, and I'm afraid he won't be able to return to Beijing during this time."
Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "That's natural. I heard that Your Majesty also has the same consideration. What I want is for my sister-in-law to write a letter to my eldest brother, saying that what I want is for him to write a note to the saint and mention his achievements.
.And the empress likes the lychees produced in southern Fujian very much, so my eldest brother also brought some by the way when I was making the discounts."
Mrs. Wang spoke with a smile, but Mrs. Wang Ziteng felt a chill rushing from the soles of her feet directly to the top of her head.
What a royal concubine’s mother, a married daughter of the Wang family!
If it weren't for the many letters from the master, the numerous warnings, and the warnings given by Brother Feng when he came over, how could she have known about this aunt's sinister heart: she was clearly planning to sell her own brother outright for the sake of her own daughter!
This is using her merits and reputation as the backbone of the Wang family to pave the way for her daughter!
She is dreaming!
You may not feel that there is anything wrong with the addition of the old man's discount, but can your majesty not worry about it?
You can even think with your knees that this is because the master is being arrogant and using his own merits to threaten His Majesty so that he will not neglect the biological daughter of his Aunt Wang.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang Ziteng agreed. After Mrs. Wang left, she immediately wrote a letter on horseback and told her master not to believe Mrs. Wang's words, otherwise the catastrophe mentioned in the master's letter would not be far away.
Yes.
In order to report the news to Wang Ziteng before Mrs. Wang sent the letter, Mrs. Wang Ziteng sent someone overnight to carry the letter and hurried 800 miles to Wang Ziteng's residence.
On the other hand, Mrs. Wang Ziteng sent a messenger and ordered her to tell Sister Feng about the matter in detail. Sister Feng took Jia Lian and Jia She to talk about the matter. Jia She scolded Mrs. Wang for being treacherous and immediately revised the book.
A letter was sent to his subordinates and he set out overnight.
Sister Feng thought for a long time, and finally went to Jia Mu's upper court and told Jia Mu about Mrs. Wang going to the Wang family to coax her.
After hearing this, Jia Mu sighed and said, "She belongs to the second master's family. She is seeking death." Then she asked Sister Feng, "Do you know what the second master has been busy with recently?"
Sister Feng was stunned and answered bluntly: "How can I know about the second master? It's just that before our second master left, he said that due to the Ping'an Prefecture rebellion, the Beijing Palace had postponed the selection of the concubine.
The third sister's plan to enter the Prince's Palace in Beijing as a concubine did not work out. But the third sister is already old and well-born. The second master has been choosing a husband for her. Recently, I heard that he has developed a friendship with that white-eyed wolf Jia Yucun.
He intends to marry his third sister to his third son."
After saying that, he frowned and said: "But I remember that the third son of Jia Yucun seems to be several years younger than the third sister..."
After hearing this, Jia Mu sat blankly for a long time and said to Sister Feng: "That's it, I'm old and can't care about them that much anymore..."
