Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 431 1 corpse, 2 lives

"Your Majesty's refusal to punish is a grace from Your Majesty. If the princess and the county lady do not wait for the punishment, then they are ignorant."

Xiaohong spoke gently and avoided looking.

Mrs. Xing and Baoyu looked at each other in dismay, and Li Wan was even more disillusioned and almost sat down on the ground.

However, Wang Xifeng knew that Xiaohong was trying to scare everyone, and was also trying to help Daiyu and Tanchun politely reject the Jia family's request for help.

He knew in his heart that this girl was indeed an extraordinary person, and he immediately admired her talent and was extremely envious of Daiyu.

——He is clearly a servant of the Jia family, but he becomes Lin Daiyu's right-hand man. This is simply outrageous!

As he was speaking, there was movement outside again.

Xiaohong stopped talking, but saw the curtain lifted, and the distraught Caiyun walked in with the support of Sheyue.

Everyone was shocked when they saw her tear-stained face, and asked what happened.

Caiyun's knees softened and she fell to the ground, crying and telling him how Jia Zheng had just died by hitting his head against the wall. She then said:

"They did call a doctor, but Caixia didn't even wait for him. She just passed away..."

One corpse, two lives.

When Mrs. Xing listened, her body swayed, her face turned pale, and she hurriedly turned back!

Sure enough, a faint, trembling voice inside asked anxiously, "Who died? Don't try to hide it from me! Feng girl, come in quickly!"

Wang Xifeng frowned tightly, took two or three steps forward, and paused slightly when passing by Xiaohong.

Xiaohong understood, stood up and followed.

The two of them entered the inner room and saw Amber and Ping'er helping Lady Jia to sit up.

Ping Er winked at Wang Xifeng and acted anxiously, "Second Madam, please tell me quickly. We all heard it. It was Caiyun's voice saying that someone has died!

"Who is it? Who is in trouble?!"

Wang Xifeng felt relieved, a sad look appeared on her face, she went over and gently helped Lady Jia lie down again, sighing:

“Nothing can be hidden from the old ancestor… The soldiers outside sent a colorful cloud.

"It is said that Caixia was frightened and behaved abnormally. The second master was angry and kicked her twice, and she fell down, and two people died..."

This lie is half true and half false, and it is well covered up.

When Madam Xing and the others heard this, they were speechless, their faces tense as they gathered around again.

Grandmother Jia also fell silent, and after a while, she whispered, "That's all.

“Coming to our house at this time is a punishment.

“No, it’s clean.

"It's just a pity for Caixia..."

Amber and Musk Moon beside them couldn't help shedding tears, and they turned away while biting their lips.

Wang Xifeng remained calm and squeezed Lady Jia's hand: "Grandma, look, who's here?"

Grandmother Jia's eyesight was getting blurrier and blurrier, so she squinted at Xiaohong and said, "Who is this? She looks familiar, but I can't recognize her..."

Wang Xifeng then told her mother her identity and whispered in her ear to comfort her, saying how her granddaughters and great-granddaughters were worried about her, how the palace was also nervous, and how the women of the Jia family had been pardoned for the sake of the princess and the county lady. She muttered on and on for a long time.

Hearing that Lady Jia's mood had improved, he felt a little sleepy again.

Just then, Ruhua had prepared the medicine outside and brought it in for Lady Jia to drink while it was hot.

Grandmother Jia wiped her mouth and pointed at Xiaohong politely, "Since you are a member of the palace, you should stop yelling at her.

"Please go back and tell the princess that I'm fine. I'll just stay calm for a few days and wait for the Dali Temple to make a ruling before returning to the south to retire.

"Let her serve the Queen Mother well in the palace and not worry about me.

"Now it is my Jia family that has implicated her..."

As he said this, he felt sad again. The drug took effect and he fell into a drowsy sleep again.

Only then did everyone feel relieved.

Seeing that Madam Xing and the others were sitting down in a daze again, Xiaohong quietly pulled Amber and whispered to her, "Sister Yuanyang asked me to bring you a message.

“Don’t stop the old lady from doing anything.

"When the old lady is not feeling well, no matter what, you must immediately send a message to the palace and ask her to come back to serve the old lady and wait on her."

Amber's eyes immediately turned red and she nodded in agreement.

Xiaohong knew that her whole family was in the Jia Mansion, and her future of life and death was unknown. She was extremely anxious and worried. When she heard Yuanyang's message, she became even more worried.

He took her hand, hid in a corner, and whispered comfort to her for a long time.

Wang Xifeng was sitting in front of Lady Jia's bed, helping the old lady to sleep soundly while stealing glances at Xiaohong.

After she finished talking to Amber, she waved with a smile and asked Amber to come over to look after Lady Jia, while she pulled Xiaohong aside to discuss things in a low voice for a while.

Xiaohong thought about it carefully for a while and nodded slightly.

Wang Xifeng then invited Mrs. Xing again, and everyone gathered in the outer room again. When they talked about Jia Zheng's death again, they couldn't help crying.

What worries Wang Xifeng even more is the affair between Jia Zheng and his son Jia Huan:

"Such a scandal would be a joke to the soldiers who are confiscating the property. It cannot be concealed. Madam and Brother Bao have a plan in mind, so they can deal with it in the future..."

In the future?

response? !

Mrs. Xing finally realized what was happening. She was completely stunned and murmured, "This is such a shameless and unethical thing!

"Dongfu Zhen'er kept it a secret from outsiders because of Qin's identity. But now...

"What if some bastard links the two things together? Wouldn't that ruin our children's future marriages?!"

When she looked up and saw Xichun, who was pale and trembling, she couldn't help crying, "My poor child..."

Baoyu hung his head for a while, then whispered, "I'll go ask that loyal and diligent county magistrate to see if he can help keep it secret..."

Xiaohong looked at him and then at Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng understood and deliberately asked softly, "Has Miss Xiaohong already laid the groundwork?"

Xiaohong did not answer, but just looked at Baoyu and nodded, saying: "Second Master can support the family and protect the sisters. The county lady must be pleased to hear this."

After hearing this, Baoyu felt relieved and hurriedly got up and went out, asking the soldier guarding the gate to find Situ Sheng.

Situ Sheng was naturally very happy about this, and he also knew that Xiaohong must have been behind this, so he immediately reached a consensus with Baoyu:

It only said that Jia Zheng was afraid of being punished, so he killed the baby when no one was paying attention; and Caixia died of fright due to witnessing the tragic scene.

As for Jia Huan who was caught in the middle of this, Situ Sheng sneered: "I will report this inhuman beast to His Majesty when I return to the palace. I will deal with him as soon as possible, which will save the government a lot of trouble!"

Baoyu said nothing, bowed deeply to the ground, and just kept crying.

Situ Sheng said nothing more, waved his hand and asked him to go back: "This case is very serious, His Majesty is furious, and surrounded several mansions in one breath today.

"With so many prisoners, I'm sure the women in each mansion will be confined to their homes.

"Just take care of your family and don't think too much. Just wait for the emperor's order."

And it was just an empty favor.

Baoyu understood and bowed again to express his gratitude. Just as he was about to leave, Xiaohong appeared behind him.

When Situ Sheng saw her, he felt uneasy and subconsciously took a half step back with a look of doubt and surprise on his face.

Xiaohong smiled slightly.
