The next day, Mrs.

He said, "We can't prepare the gifts for going to Li's house. I'm afraid we are still kept in the dark - we are such a big family, but we can't even pay a penny in the account? Second Madam, are you so

What are your intentions in deliberately vacating our home?"

"Furthermore, according to the rules, Baoyu is just the second son of your second wife. For his marriage, the mansion can only give an extra ten thousand taels of silver to Ying Yatou's example. Isn't a full twenty thousand taels of silver not enough?

Do you want to have a decent marriage? It’s not enough. Your second wife wants to be beautiful, so you have to pay for the money yourself. But it’s better for you. Not only did you move a lot of things from the house, but you also asked for the third wife.

Ten thousand taels of silver, second madam, in this mansion, our eldest brother is Xijue, and you are just helping our eldest housekeeper, do you really think you are Xijue’s first-class general’s wife?”

Mrs. Wang's face turned blue and white after being told by Mrs. Xing.

Outside, Jia She sneered and said to Jia Zheng: "Second brother, your wife doesn't take our eldest son seriously. She is an ignorant woman. I can ignore it. You claim to be a scholar, but you are also so rude? In the past,

For the sake of the old lady, I have tolerated many things. But this does not mean that you can go too far. If you go too far, don't blame me for not caring about brotherhood. Please ask Your Majesty and the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette.

Come back and be polite." He said, waving his sleeves and leaving.

Jia Zheng was embarrassed by Jia She, and he secretly resented it. He was even more disappointed with Mrs. Wang's ability to manage affairs, so he just did it. It was done so poorly and caused so many troubles, so it was better not to do it.

Just listen to Jia Mu say: "The second brother's family, what the elder's family said is true?"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Ancestor Rongzhen, I am doing this for the sake of the empress, for the sake of the dragon fetus in the empress' belly..."

Mrs. Xing interrupted her unceremoniously and said: "Oh, Second Madam, just hurry up. Your Majesty the Queen is taking care of you in the palace. You, a concubine outside the palace, can you help me?"

Or what can the red sandalwood screen, the coral tree, the glazed lamp, and the fine gemstones you took away help the empress? Second madam, those things have just gone into your private treasury?"

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she couldn't speak, she just shed tears. She had indeed taken these things privately, some of them were used as betrothal gifts for the Xia family, and some of them really went into her private treasury.

She always thought that now that she was in charge of the house, everything in this house should be hers, so what would she have in the big house? Things that a family could not afford, and people who were drunk and dirty, how could they be like her own treasures?

Elegant and noble, a genuine uncle of the state, a noble son born with a jade in his mouth, a man of great fortune.

It's hard to say that in the future, the inheritance of the ancestors will have to be inherited by Baoyu. These things should naturally be given to her Baoyu, not to mention the empress. She can make decisions for her sooner or later. I just brought the things over earlier to avoid them wasting them.

That's all. But she wouldn't dare to say this openly anyway. After all, it's not that time yet, right?

Seeing the way Mrs. Wang bowed her head and said nothing, Mother Jia knew that she didn't take Mrs. Xing's words seriously. She couldn't help but sneered: Do you really think you have the Duke's Mansion in your hands? Such a blatant move.

Bring things from the house?

Of those she usually takes, she prefers their room, even if she sees it, she pretends she hasn't seen it. But now, how can the eldest family be willing to do this? After all, the person who will be the head of the Duke's Mansion in the future is their eldest room.

, the second child is only a fifth-rank official. Without the lintel of the Duke's Mansion to protect them, what would their family be in this capital?

Your Majesty? Without the support of your natal family in the Duke's Palace, your Majesty would have had a difficult time in the palace.

The Wang family? The Wang family definitely favors Sister Feng when it comes to Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng.

The Xue family? Ever since Xue Pan came out of the Jinyiwei Forced Labor Camp, he seemed to be a different person. He started to move in early. Then Aunt Xue was about to move to Jinmen. If she hadn't been waiting for Xia Jingui to come in now, the Xue family would have been there long ago.

Come to collect debt!

As for the Xia family, they are just like the Xue family, an imperial merchant named in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and at most they are rich!

But what kind of place is the palace? It can be done just by having money? Stupid!

Therefore, Jia's mother-in-law said in a cold voice: "If you still have eyes for me, from the second brother's family, just return the things you took. For the second brother's family, go and see for yourself. How can you supplement Baoyu's marriage privately?"

It's your business. If the palace gives it to you, you have to follow the rules of the palace. The situation in the palace is difficult now, and the empress is your biological daughter. Now she is only willing to let you go to the palace to see her, so you can love her more.

Get out of your private treasury."

After saying that, he closed his eyes and said: "I'm tired, you go down and do it. Yuanyang, if you go back to the second master in person, just tell me what I said and let him take care of it. After it's done, come and kowtow to me."

.”

Yuanyang agreed in a low voice and went out to reply.

Mrs. Wang felt like she was struck by lightning: What does this mean, old lady? Baoyu is her most valued great-grandson, whom she has held in her hands and doted on since she was a child. Why, how could she have wronged him so much for something that was not worth mentioning to that family?

Mrs.

Mrs. Wang still thinks that she can steal things without telling everyone from top to bottom like she did in the past? Bah, go ahead and dream about your dreams. Sooner or later, this mansion must be returned to the hands of our main house.

In the end, Jia Zheng took care of this matter personally. Jia Zheng ordered people to make up for the betrothal gifts given to the Xia family from Mrs. Wang's private treasury. The angry Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and wept secretly, but

After all, it was Jia Zheng who had the final say. Now that he was angry, she didn't dare to take the blame and refute him.

Jia She's family received so many things, but they refused to return them to the palace. They rewarded some to Jia Lian and Sister Feng, and took the rest for themselves. Jia Lian kept urging Jia She to return the money for Jia Mu's sake.

When I returned to the public school, I got nothing except being scolded.

Jia Lian explained to Jia She carefully and analyzed the situation.

But Jia She has lived for decades, and he has seen a lot of changes in the capital.

But even if there was such a big turmoil when he deposed the crown prince, Jia She could only transform a hereditary first-class marquis into a first-class general.

The entire Jia family was not harmed at all.

Mr. Jia She did not waste time drinking and playing with fans.

Besides, the four kings and eight princes depended on each other for blessings and misfortunes. No emperor would take such a huge force lightly.

The Duke of Zhenguo had to collude with King Nan to seek death, but the Jia family did not do such stupid things.

Even for the sake of the deceased prince, Emperor Xiaode did not dare to do anything to them!

Therefore, even if a young man like Jia Lian, who has never seen the world and only talks about alarmism, is his own son, Jia She doesn't take it to heart at all.

After Jia Zheng had done this, he went to Jia Mu's upper room to kowtow. Seeing him kneeling on the ground with gray temples, Jia Zheng couldn't help but sigh and said: "Second brother, you should have success in your heart."

Jia Zheng kowtowed and remained silent.

Mother Jia cried and said: "I have favored you all my life, and I still favor you now. But you also have to know how to leave some room, and don't make it a big deal, or turn against each other in the future. After all, Baoyu and the others will still have the help of the boss to watch over them in the future.

, so that I can gain a foothold in this capital city. Even my mother-in-law must have a natal family in the Duke's palace, so that she can be dignified and prosperous in the palace."

Jia Zheng kowtowed and said, "That stupid woman Wang is short-sighted and ineffective in managing affairs. She makes her mother worry so much. It is an unfilial son."

Mother Jia waved her hand and said: "As long as I am still here, the boss and his family will not dare to go too far. But you have to restrain your daughter-in-law. A harmonious family is the right way. Do you understand?"

Jia Zheng nodded hurriedly.
