Chapter 260 Who wouldn’t give up?
"I can only help myself when you can't do it anymore." Mrs. Xing said this bluntly.
Now in this big house, or in the territory of Rongguo Mansion, she is not afraid of anyone and dares to touch anyone.
I don't have a good life, so no one can expect to live a peaceful life.
As soon as Mrs. Xing finished speaking, Jia She and the others fell silent.
No one spoke.
Mrs. Xing saw that the room was finally quiet and everyone had behaved well again.
She asked everyone to serve her and went back to her room. She called two little maids, one to massage her shoulders and neck and the other to massage her legs, and she rested quietly.
He didn't notice at all that Jia Cong and his nurse were hiding outside, and only showed their heads when things got quiet inside. Wang Shanbao's reply was just a few words.
"Madam is resting!"
"Let's talk about it later!"
Jia Cong was like a wild child without a father or a mother, lowering his head and kicking his feet for fun.
His shadow lengthened in the winter light, making him look even lonelier.
At this time, his brother Jia Lian was in a state of panic.
He took Qiu Tong back, thinking that with Wang Xifeng's personality, she would cause a huge uproar.
Unexpectedly, when he went back and told Wang Xifeng about it, Wang Xifeng's eyes were instantly ignited with anger.
She never expected that Jia Lian, who said every day that he had to hold his nose to serve his father, actually went there to hunt for food.
When men become bastards, they are really not picky!
She looked at Qiu Tong with a half-smile, "Miss Qiu Tong, you are here against your parents' orders."
"Then I will certainly not neglect it."
"Pick any of those empty houses!"
Qiu Tong had prepared a lot of sweet words, but they were of no use at all.
She naturally chose a sunny room and begged Jia Lian to give it to her two little maids to clean.
Jia Lian was surprised and naturally happy to help.
But when he was about to ask Wang Xifeng for the person,
Wang Xifeng had already gone out in a carriage with her daughter, Dajie, and Ping'er.
Along the way, Ping'er asked in confusion, "Second Madam, don't we need to greet the Second Madam?"
"And you're just going to give your home to that little whore?"
Wang Xifeng held her daughter tightly in her arms and said to Ping'er calmly,
"No need to say hello. My aunt is sick. She's visiting hers and I'm visiting mine."
"What do you mean by giving it to her? Do you have all our money with you?"
Ping Er nodded, "I brought it with me."
"But are we going back to my mother's house with so much money?"
Wang Xifeng said, "Of course not. This is mine. Why should I give it to someone else? And let a man keep a concubine for him? Do you think I'm a fool?"
"I can't be as magnanimous as the first wife, nor as tolerant as the second wife."
"Let's exchange the banknotes for pawn tickets."
"Last time I went to chat with Grandma Qin, she told me that she had deposited some silver in Yonglin Pawnshop."
“We’ll save some too.”
"There are already a lot of pawn tickets in the mansion, so it won't be noticeable if you mix them in."
"Can pawnshop money be used to exchange for banknotes?" Ping'er asked in confusion.
Wang Xifeng nodded. This was the first time she had heard of it.
But she herself doesn't know how to put all her eggs in one basket.
The Jia family is about to be empty-handed and full of debts. Everyone has to think of a way out. The only way to preserve the money in their hands is to sell it.
Who cares about my concubine at this time? Only my children have the right to spend my money.
To hell with everyone else!
If you don’t have money, just live frugally!
As the carriage was shaking, Wang Xifeng inadvertently caught a glimpse of a figure through the window, which startled her so much that she screamed.
She instinctively wanted to lean over to check, but the carriage sped past and the figure had already disappeared from her sight.
Inside the car, the eldest sister was startled by her mother's scream and opened her eyes wide with curiosity.
Ping'er saw Wang Xifeng's panicked look.
"Second Grandma, what's wrong? What did you see?"
Wang Xifeng shook her head, a trace of doubt flashed across her eyes, "Nothing, maybe I saw it wrong."
"Tell the driver to stop at the gate of Yonglindang."
At this time, Jia Lian was indeed in a state of panic.
There was a lack of tables, chairs and benches, curtains to be replaced, bedding to be matched, furnishings in the house to be matched, and maids and old women to serve...
He has to worry about everything himself, the key is that there are some people he can't control.
"Second Master, without Second Madam's order, I dare not!"
"Second Master! I can't take it without Second Madam's pair of cards."
"Second Master, this requires silver. Where do you think we can get it?"
……
"Where is the Second Madam? Where did she go? Huh?" Jia Lian yelled at the people below.
A maid came forward and said, "Second Master, Second Madam's aunt is sick, and Second Madam is anxious to go back to her aunt's home."
"Second Madam asked me to ask the First Madam if there is anything you can do for me."
The first wife, Madam Xing, had just rewarded me with a concubine, so how could I trouble her again?
Jia Lian had no choice but to gather all the things he had and decorate the new house, so that he could have a good relationship with Qiu Tong.
……
Just when Jia Lian was taking a concubine in a cold and lonely manner,
A rumor spread in the capital that the truth about what the Xue family had asked for at Qingfeng Teahouse had been revealed.
From how Xue Pan killed someone in Jinling and fled to Beijing for refuge, to how he acted recklessly and bullied men and women in the capital.
If this is true, isn't it a disregard for human life?
Who is behind him?
The censors smelled an opportunity and were ready to take advantage of it to make meritorious deeds.
Inside the Jia Mansion, a piece of news also spread quietly.
Qingwen from Yihong Courtyard was accused of stealing property from the mansion and hiding in her cousin's house, but now the truth has been revealed.
Three days later he will be tortured in front of everyone and beaten to death with sticks.
……
"Who said that?" When someone told Jia Baoyu the news, he was stunned.
Who is so vicious that he didn't let Qingwen go even after her death and threw dirty water on her.
He ran to find Mrs. Wang, but she was not there, so he went to his uncle's house.
I heard that Mrs. Zhou brought people to the Grand View Garden that day to confirm that the thief was dirty.
Jia Baoyu ran to look for Zhou Rui's wife, but no one knew where he went.
He ran to Qingwen's cousin and cousin's house again, but the house was already empty.
The room was empty and cold. The black ashes from the brazier spilled onto the ground, forming a huge, sarcastic face. A wind blew in, which was even colder than outside.
He felt that the mansion was so big that there was nowhere to go.
The world is vast, only the snow is joyful.
……
"Grandma, she couldn't have stolen anything. This is clearly a false accusation. Why don't you do anything about it?"
"She's dead, leaving behind only these two relatives. You can't beat her to death!"
Jia Baoyu was really at a loss, so he came to his grandmother again and begged her for help.
Qingwen was once given to her by Lady Jia, so there must be some old feelings between them.
But Grandmother Jia looked cold and said to Jia Baoyu,
"Baoyu, you are not a child anymore. Since your mother has found out, you have to trust her out of filial piety."
"Besides, I heard that Qingwen's cousin and cousin-in-law are not respectable people."
"In the beginning, it was because of Qingwen that I gave them a place to stay."
