Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 323 Confiscating Letters

"They said it's not appropriate to make it public, and that he needs to meet with the head of the family alone." The doorman replied respectfully.

Jia Lian angrily scolded, "Don't mention the incident all the time in the future."

"Not nice."

After saying that, he frowned and went straight to the door.

There were four imperial guards standing at the gate of Jia's house, with serious faces and no smile on their faces.

A business-like look.

Seeing Jia Lian coming out, one of them politely showed Wang Ziteng's token.

"Master Lian, we are under the order of the commander-in-chief to go to the old lady in your mansion and seize some things."

"No!" Jia Lian flatly refused.

Seal it off! This is crazy. Just any sign can seal off the Duke's wife's room.

I can't make this decision myself.

No matter who you are as a leader or commander, this is the Duke's Mansion.

It's not a place where any cat or dog can bark.

But I can't say this in front of others.

The imperial guards holding the tokens on the opposite side were not angry.

Instead, he took out another thing, a square silk handkerchief, and said, "Can you take a look at this?"

Jia Lian took it with a confused look on his face. On it was a single word written in ink: "Accurate!"

The signature on it is "Lady of the Duke, Lady Jia".

Jia Lian couldn't believe his eyes.

"Can this be true? That's the inner courtyard."

"How can I let you come in casually?"

"Whatever you said, I'll have someone find it out."

The little leader of the imperial guards was quite reasonable. He thought about it and said,

"How about this! Please ask them to leave for now!"

"Leave a steward here, and you will come with us."

"We don't want to disturb the inner house either."

Jia Lian was confused and ordered his men, "Go and get the people in the old lady's room out of the way first."

"Don't move anything else."

The leader of the imperial guards reminded, "Don't take anything inside."

"Reassure them, we won't touch their property."

Jia Lian winked at his men, "Hurry up."

He saw his men running towards the inner house.

Jia Lian reached into his pocket and pulled out a banknote.

"Hey, young man, it's just a small gift, take it and drink it!

"I want to ask, has anything happened in our mansion?"

The leader of the imperial guards had an expressionless face and pushed Jia Lian's hand away.

"Master Lian, don't panic, there is no problem."

"On the contrary, your family has made great contributions."

“It’s just evidence of shortcomings in key links.”

"We are also following orders, you just need to cooperate."

Hearing this, Jia Lian finally felt relieved. He did not take the silver note back, but stuffed it directly into the arms of the little leader.

"How can I let you do such hard work in vain?"

This time the little leader didn't have to return it, so he accepted it with peace of mind.

……

In the side hall of the imperial palace, Grandmother Jia looked ashen, with the cane in her hand leaning dejectedly against her body.

Mrs. Xing pointed at Mrs. Wang and shouted angrily,

"My goodness, this is your biological brother."

"Just let the imperial guards go to the backyard."

"Does the Duke's Mansion still have the face it deserves?"

"Do the women of the Jia family still want to look good?"

The Buddhist beads in Mrs. Wang's hand were shaking. How could this happen?

She ignored Mrs. Xing and turned to ask Lady Jia,

"Mother, did they just tell you that they searched anything?"

"Now that the Queen Mother is dead, there's no way we could have anything to do with this!"

Even if there is a connection, it can only be the Empress in the palace! Madam Xing was also somewhat frightened.

If something happens to the Queen, no one can escape.

They all looked at Grandmother Jia, knowing only that she had been called out.

I don't know what he said, but when he came back he looked like he had been sprained.

He swung his cane, cursed Mrs. Wang, and said he was going to his room to search for something.

"Mother, did you have a good relationship with the Queen Mother in the past?"

Mrs. Xing suddenly thought of a point.

Could it be that my mother-in-law is still in contact with the Queen Mother?

But Grandmother Jia rolled her eyes at her and sighed. It seemed that her lost energy and spirit gradually returned, and her complexion also improved a little.

The cane tapped the ground lightly, and the bricks in the palace sounded particularly crisp.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. They want to get the letter."

"What letter?" No one spoke as quickly as Mrs. Xing.

Grandmother Jia's eyes were blank as she read the letter Jia Min wrote to herself.

She didn't want to say it.

It seems that there is something in the letter that the Imperial Guards are interested in.

Grandmother Jia sneered. How did the imperial guards know the contents of the letter? It was her good son and daughter-in-law who told them.

Smart is mistaken by smart!

Once the Pandora's box is opened, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop!

This really seems to be a rhythm of putting the Lin family and Jia Min to death.

Grandmother Jia was a little puzzled again. What could be in the letter?

Grandmother Jia began to recall,

Apart from the small space in the inner house, could Jia Min do anything out of the ordinary?

……

Jia family's Rongqing Hall was silent at this moment. Only Jia Lian and Amber were standing at the door, looking into the house.

Fortunately, everything is still in order and not too messy.

"Please count and see what is missing." Seeing the imperial guards leaving, Jia Lian hurriedly called Amber and others to clean up.

Amber went into the room and saw that there was no major commotion inside.

Only a small box containing letters was opened.

But something was missing! She didn't know.

Those are all collected by Yuanyang.

So she shook her head at Jia Lian, "Second Master! Only Sheng Xin moved."

"But we have to wait for Sister Yuanyang to come back to find out what is missing."

Jia Lian's brows furrowed even more tightly.

They came prepared, and since they were going to get the letter, why not just let Yuanyang do it?

Why didn't even a servant come back?

Jia Lian was worried because he didn't even have anyone to discuss things with.

No one knew what Wang Xifeng was busy with all day.

A while ago, he had a sudden impulse and brought over an overly charming girl from somewhere, saying that she wanted him to take her as a concubine in order to have children.

I thought she had come to her senses and realized that she had to rely on herself for the rest of her life.

I forgave her and accepted it with a smile.

Who would have thought that although this girl was delicate, she fought with Qiu Tong every day.

Wang Xifeng didn't care at all, and sometimes even added fuel to the fire.

So much so that I can't go back home.

When I got back, I was forced to judge the matter.

Really, life is too stressful.

But now there is no one to discuss things with, so I have to go back.

Go talk to her now.

Jia Lian complained in his heart as he walked towards his own courtyard.

Just as he was leaving Lady Jia's courtyard, Jia Lian, who was walking with his head down, heard the doorman's call again.

It made him feel frightened again.

"Second Master! Two eunuchs came outside, and they brought two maids with them."

Jia Lian's face was still confused.

He rubbed his face with his hands and smiled.

It seems that the Empress from the palace sent someone.

There must be some news.

Thinking of this, he hurried to the door, followed closely by the doorman and two servants.

When Jia Lian walked to the door with a happy face, he was shocked when he saw the two eunuchs.

Why are there two unfamiliar faces?

I didn’t recognize the nanny following behind me either.

Why did the Queen send a stranger here?

Jia Lian smiled and bowed, "Excuse me, eunuchs, does the queen have any instructions?"

The two eunuchs did not say anything, but the nanny behind them said with a wry smile,

"Your queen has no instructions. We are Princess Chaoyang's people."

Jia Lian was stunned, and before he could come to his senses,

Then I heard Mammy say one more thing.

"Take us to Longcui Temple!"
