"What's going on? What's going on with your wife? Tell me clearly!"
Jia Cong's face darkened as he thought of something bad. His eyes were cold and sharp, as sharp as two small knives.
Jia Rong stammered: "Cong, Uncle Cong, my nephew's wife is the daughter-in-law of the late Prince Yizhong!"
I felt quite guilty when I said this, for fear that Jia Cong would get angry and hit someone.
But Jia Cong's reaction was unexpectedly calm, which made him feel even more uneasy, and his already fair face was as white as paper.
"Then what?"
He glared at Jia Rong angrily, was he half-talking to make people laugh?
"Yes, that's the case. Today my nephew's wife suddenly told my nephew that people from Prince Yizhong found her!"
Apparently she was extremely scared. Jia Rong shivered for a while before she explained this shocking secret clearly.
"Prince Yizhong is still determined to give up?"
Jia Cong showed a trace of disdain and said calmly: "What request did you make to your wife?"
"How did Uncle Cong know?"
Jia Rong was even more surprised and spoke subconsciously, but as soon as he said the words, he knew that he was stupid. Uncle Cong must have deduced it.
"What do you think?"
Jia Cong waved his hands angrily and said, "Come with me to the main room first, and then we'll talk. This is not the place to talk!"
Jia Rong did not dare to refute, and hurriedly followed Jia Cong to the small garden of the General's Mansion. As soon as she sat down in a bare pavilion with no shelter, the cold wind suddenly blew like a knife and hurt her cheeks.
Jia Rong's face turned green, but Jia Cong looked disapproving and did not dare to express her idea of moving to a warmer place to talk.
"It's safe to talk here!"
Seeing through the kid's mind at a glance, Jia Cong explained lightly, "Don't you know how rubbish Rongguo Mansion's sense of confidentiality is?"
Jia Rong nodded repeatedly to express his understanding. Fortunately, the servants in the main hall of the General's Mansion were quite discerning and brought a convenient small coal stove with a pot of hot water on it.
"Uncle Cong, it's like this..."
It turned out that just this morning, his daughter-in-law Qin Keqing suddenly told him an astonishing secret. She was the concubine of Prince Xianyi Zhong, Lao Qiansui.
Of course, this is not actually important. A lot of royal blood has been scattered among the people for hundreds of years since the founding of the People's Republic of China. As long as it is not on the jade plate, the royal family is too lazy to take care of it.
At this time, Jia Rong and Qin Keqing were inseparable, and it did not happen that Jia Zhen coveted Qin Keqing to do anything, so Jia Rong naturally had nothing to worry about.
With his father, Jia Zhen, in his current situation, even if he wants to do something dirty, it won't work.
The young man had nothing to do and was shocked at first, but he soon realized that she was the concubine of the late Prince Yi Zhong, Chitose. Now she has become the wife of the Jia family in the capital, so she is naturally related to the royal family.
It doesn't matter anymore.
But later, Qin Keqing told him the news like a thunderbolt from the blue with Lihua in tears. Someone from the Yizhong County Prince's Palace contacted her and asked her to use her identity to bring Ningrong and Ning Rong's Palace into the sphere of influence of the County Prince's Palace.
Prince Yizhong, what do you want to do?
Who doesn't know that although this person still has the status of a county prince, he is extremely feared nowadays and has no way of getting involved in the real power of the court.
Now, he is trying to win over Ning Rong's second family through a 'sister' who is not recognized by the royal family. His ambition is not small.
Ningguo Mansion is just that, but Rongguo Mansion is thriving and has the potential to rise again, and its influence is still considerable.
Jia Rong was stunned and didn't know what to do.
It was Qin Keqing who was clever and gave him an idea to ask Uncle Cong from the main room of Rongguo Mansion for help.
Why not find the old lady, or the second master in charge of the household?
Obviously, in order to win Jia Cong's trust, Jia Rong went all out and repeated his wife's words: "The old lady may have known her identity a long time ago, otherwise she wanted to marry into the Ningguo Mansion as an orphan girl from the Yuying Hall, and even
It is absolutely impossible to become a clan wife. I guess the old lady has some plans and will not offend Prince Yizhong easily!"
"As for Mr. Zheng, he is too upright. I'm afraid he won't be able to deal with such troublesome matters at all. Otherwise, there may be complications!"
The words were cryptic, but Jia Cong understood them clearly.
Qin Keqing is really smart and understands these people in Rong Guofu.
The old lady's idea of investing in multiple parties was a common operation of aristocratic families. Of course, in a feudal dynasty with centralized imperial power, diversified investments naturally had to be very secretive, otherwise they would be seeking death.
As for the second master Zheng, Qin Keqing obviously looked down upon his mediocre abilities. Of course, he might also be wary of the possible unscrupulousness of his second wife, Mrs. Wang.
As the housekeeper of Ningguo Mansion, some of Mrs. Wang's methods cannot be hidden at all. It is understandable that Qin Keqing is wary.
"Why don't you ask Brother Lian for help?"
After listening to Jia Rong's explanation, Jia Cong looked calm and asked curiously: "How can I say that Brother Lian's status at this time is unusual!"
After saying this, he paused and said leisurely: "I heard that your wife and second sister-in-law have an irreconcilable relationship. All she wants is to come to the door, and she will definitely find a way!"
Jia Rong smiled bitterly and said: "My nephew's wife said that it would be inconvenient for Uncle Lian to be in an officialdom!"
"As for the second aunt, once she finds out, I'm afraid even the Wang family will know about it too!"
Nodding, Jia Cong agreed with this statement and chuckled: "On the Mid-Autumn Festival, I accompanied Brother Bao to rest at Tianxiang Tower. I saw the layout of your wife's temporary residence, and I almost guessed it!"
He explained casually to prevent Jia Rong from making random guesses.
Sure enough, Jia Rong looked surprised when he heard this. His wife's boudoir layout did not look like someone from a low-ranking official's family. It was normal for Uncle Cong to be suspicious.
Of course, this boy didn't care about the Phoenix Egg and the fact that Jia Cong went to his wife's temporary residence. Maybe this was the custom of Ningguo Mansion.
If Phoenix Egg dared to break into Yingchun's boudoir at will, Jia Cong would have to mess with him.
"What is your wife afraid of?"
After explaining clearly, Jia Cong went straight to the topic and asked: "What else do you need me to do?"
"My nephew and his wife don't want to work for Prince Yizhong, but they are afraid that they will kill him to establish their authority!"
When it came to killing people, Jia Rong couldn't help but tremble, and it was obvious that she was extremely afraid.
"What do you think, kid?"
Jia Cong was not in a hurry to express his opinion and directly asked Jia Rong what he thought.
"My nephew is so confused right now that he can't think of any solution. He can only ask Uncle Cong for help!"
Jia Rong was honest, and directly expressed her current thoughts. In the end, she got up and knelt down to beg for mercy.
"There's no need for that!"
He pulled it casually and did not let Jia Rong kneel down at all. Jia Cong stood up and said: "Since you and your wife trust me so much, I, as an uncle, will not refuse to save you. Let's go and see your wife!"
Jia Rong felt a strong force coming from her hands, and her small body could not kneel down at all.
Then he subconsciously followed Jia Cong. Hearing his words, he was a little puzzled and asked curiously: "Uncle Cong, this matter..."
I don't think Jia Cong, an uncle from the same clan, has any thoughts about his wife. He has no such awareness at all.
"I have an idea, but I need to take a certain risk!"
Jia Cong said as he walked: "Looking at the way you look, your wife obviously has more brains than you. It's better to tell her directly!"
Jia Rongnen's face turned red. This was a fact that could not be refuted. She didn't think it was a big deal that her daughter-in-law was smarter than herself. She could only say that being young had its advantages and she didn't have so many complicated thoughts.
…
Just when Jia Cong and Jia Cong went to Ningguo Mansion to talk to Qin Keqing face to face, in the room of the second wife, Mrs. Wang, Zhou Rui's family reported with shock: "There is news from Ning Mansion that Qin Keqing may be
The concubine of Prince Xian Yichuan!"
"What?"
Mrs. Wang was shocked, and then she was overjoyed and asked anxiously: "Is this news true?"
"Don't worry, madam, this news is absolutely true and reliable!"
Zhou Rui's family confirmed: "The Ning Mansion is like a sieve. It happened that an acquaintance of mine overheard Brother Rong's daughter-in-law talking to a stranger, and when he told me, he poured out all the news!"
"What great news!"
Mrs. Wang looked happy, walked around the room a few times, and said with a smile: "If this news spreads, it will definitely cause an uproar. Even the prince of Yizhong County will not be able to please him. If not, I have to talk to the old lady!"
As he was about to leave, a bold plan arose in his mind. If it was managed well, Yuan Chun, who was suffering in the palace, might take the opportunity to rise to power.
"Madam, do you want to send someone to control Brother Rong's daughter-in-law first?"
Although Zhou Rui's family members were confused, they still actively made suggestions: "Wouldn't it be better if we could catch the liaison person sent by Prince Yizhong?"
"Yes, yes, you are right!"
Mrs. Wang nodded repeatedly and directly ordered: "This time you go there in person and lead the powerful women in the house to arrest the person!"
He couldn't help but smile proudly when he said this. Yuan Chun's future might lie with Brother Rong's daughter-in-law.
As for the danger that Brother Rong's daughter-in-law may encounter, it is not within her scope of consideration at all. She should get the benefits first.
The Zhou Rui family members were also in high spirits. They seemed to have noticed something, and they immediately called out a group of powerful women and hurried along the connection between Ning Rong and Ning Rong's second house.
The Rongguo Mansion was also a big sieve, and the Zhou Rui family's upright behavior suddenly reached Feng Lazi's ears.
"What does my good aunt want to do?"
Wang Xifeng holds great power in the internal affairs of the Rong Mansion. When she is in high spirits, she cannot tolerate the mischief of the mother-in-law below.
"I don't know, there's something going on at the Ning Mansion!"
Ping'er shook his head and said helplessly: "There is too little information, I can't figure it out!"
"Go, go to Ning Mansion yourself!"
Feng Lazi was a man of action. Since he couldn't figure it out, he directly sent Ping'er and several powerful women to Ning Mansion to find out what was going on.
No matter what, she had to find out what her aunt Mrs. Wang was doing as soon as possible, so as not to encounter any surprises that she didn't know yet, so she would be passive...
