Chapter 16 The anger is hard to dissipate
When Jia Cong heard Feicui complaining about his injustice, his affection for this maid doubled. He deliberately felt wronged and said: "Baoyu fell into the pond because of me, and the whole government was afraid of him. I really deserve to die.
The eldest master and the second master beat me with sticks for more than an hour, but I didn’t dare to feel any grievance in my heart, it was all my fault..."
As he spoke, he deliberately rolled up his sleeves to show Jadeite his skinny arms.
Jade glanced at it and saw that Jia Cong's slender arms were covered with scars and bruises everywhere. Not even a piece of intact flesh could be seen. She immediately frowned and whispered: "This beating is too harsh."
Okay, to put it bluntly, that Baoyu is still fine, it's just a little frightened, what's the big deal, as for just beating it to death..."
Before she could finish her words, Agate opened the curtain and came out, waving to the two of them from a distance. Jade saw it at a glance, swallowed the unfinished words in a hurry, and urged in a low voice: "I'm telling you to come in, hurry up.
Go ahead."
Jia Cong nodded and was about to leave when Feicui hurriedly told him in a low voice: "Let me tell you, the old lady has been angry with Baoyu these two days. You must be more careful when you speak. If you make her angry again,
If you’re happy, even ten of you wouldn’t be enough to die..."
Jia Cong nodded hurriedly after hearing this: "Thank you sister for the tip, I understand."
After that, he ran away without waiting for Jade to lead him, and in a blink of an eye he was in front of the main house door.
When Agate saw him, she rolled her eyes at first, and then said disdainfully: "Go in quickly, the old lady was very angry when she heard that you were coming, and she is waiting to expose you!"
After hearing this, Jia Cong glared at Agate and shouted in a low voice: "Don't scare me, the old lady is the most kind, how can she be as scary as you said?"
Agate curled her lips and said in a low voice: "Hmph, the old lady is really kind, so who is right? For a little scoundrel like you, it's not a big deal for her to peel off your skin..."
After that, Agate stopped talking nonsense with him and just pushed him into the house.
Jia Cong was not careful and tripped on the high threshold, staggering and falling into the room.
This fall was so hard that his face hit the ground firmly. He could hear a heavy muffled sound in his ears, but his mind was turned into a ball of paste. He could vaguely feel his face and hands,
There was a sharp pain in my body.
The agate pushed Jia Cong so hard that he fell into a dog's excrement. He couldn't help feeling a little scared and a little regretful. He hurriedly pretended to shout: "Oh, Master Cong, why are you so careless that you fell down as soon as you came in?"
As she spoke, Agate hurriedly bent down to help Jia Cong. Just when her arm was about to touch Jia Cong's sleeve, she heard an old and solemn voice beside her ear saying coldly: "Don't help him, call him."
Get up on your own! You are born to be something that cannot be put on the stage, no wonder people look down on you!"
This was the old lady in the room, the old feudal lord of Rongguo Mansion, and Mother Jia spoke.
When Agate heard this, he quickly stood up and stood aside politely, not even daring to look at Jia Cong again.
Jia Cong naturally heard the scolding, and felt a shiver in his heart: It seems that the old lady really hates herself for Baoyu, and now she is in trouble...
Unable to explain, Jia Cong had no choice but to slowly get up and look up, only to see a beautiful couch not far away, with a fat old lady with white hair as white as snow lying half on the couch.
The old lady is not young, but her complexion is very good. There is not even a single wrinkle on her old face, which makes her look like a child with gray hair.
In a daze, he saw several maids surrounding her. They were all very beautiful, and all of them were dressed in luxurious clothes and had extraordinary aura.
Jia Cong knew that this fat old lady must be Jia Mu, the highest-ranking mother in the Rongguo Mansion. He hurriedly knelt down on the spot again, kowtowed several times respectfully, and shouted loudly: "My grandson Jia Cong, I have met our ancestors. My ancestors send you your regards."
Mother Jia's face had been full of anger since Jia Cong entered the room. When she saw Jia Cong being so respectful, she snorted coldly, but the anger on her face did not diminish.
When Jia Cong kowtowed to her, she remained silent, staring at Jia Cong with eyes that almost burst into flames. She just heard her yelling angrily with hatred: "Do you still know who I am? You still have this look in your eyes." Is there an old immortal like me?"
Jia Cong was not allowed to give orders, so he could only kneel on the spot and did not dare to move. He lowered his head and did not dare to look around. He was extremely obedient.
Hearing Jia Mu's scolding, he hurriedly kowtowed on the ground and replied: "My grandson is not blessed. This is the first time I have seen my ancestor. I hope my ancestor will not be angry with my grandson. In my grandson's eyes, there is indeed no such thing as the old man." Ancestors..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Jia Mu became even more angry. She pointed at Jia Cong and shouted: "Okay, you are so brave, you..."
Jia Cong didn't wait for the old lady to finish her words, and hurriedly kowtowed again and said: "It is because of our ancestors that our Jia family has been able to enjoy eternal blessings and endless wealth. The younger generation is always grateful for the kindness of our ancestors. How dare we just treat our ancestors?" Does the ancestor take it seriously?"
Before Jia Mu stopped shouting, when she suddenly heard what Jia Cong said, she felt inexplicably comfortable, and she swallowed the second half of what she was going to say to scold him, which made her uncomfortable.
The old lady took a deep breath, stared at Jia Cong for a long time, and then said sternly: "Don't give me sweet words. Tell me, if you really still have an old lady like me in your heart, why are you talking to Jia Huan?" Let’s harm Baoyu and push him into the pond? My poor Baoyu is still burnt and confused..."
When it came to Baoyu, Jia Mu immediately became excited again, her face turned red, and her tears couldn't stop falling. If it weren't for the few maids around her who were busy beating her back and rubbing her chest, looking at her posture, she would have been able to I was so distressed and angry that I fainted.
When Jia Cong heard what Jia Mu said, he cried out sadly: "Ancestor, isn't Baoyu feeling better? It's all my fault. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have gone to the waterside to play. As a result, Baoyu was hurt. It's me who deserves to die. My father and brother have already punished me severely, old lady, don't be angry..."
As he spoke, he hurriedly took off his clothes, rolled up his sleeves, and showed everyone the stick wounds all over his body.
When all the maids saw the scars on Jia Cong's body, they were all frightened and screamed. Even Jia's mother couldn't say anything after seeing it.
When everyone saw the injuries on Jia Cong's body, they knew that he must have been beaten to death by Master Jia She.
In the final analysis, Baoyu was not in any danger of life. Several imperial doctors who came to treat Baoyu said that he was not seriously ill. He was just frightened. As long as he took the medicine well, he would recover in a few days.
Jia's mother heard that the imperial doctor said that Baoyu was fine, and she was already convinced. The only people she was unhappy with were Jia Cong and Jia Huan. She deeply hated them for plotting against her Baoyu, and vowed to punish them severely before she would give up.
When she saw Jia Cong, she saw that his clothes were in tatters and he was covered in wounds. In addition, this boy was also very good at talking and respected her very much. Unknowingly, more than half of the anger in her heart had dissipated, and it was hard to stop.
If she punished him too much, she was afraid that others would say that she was too partial. What's more, the boy in front of her was from Dongfu, so she couldn't be too harsh on him.
Although Jia Mu's anger was greatly reduced, she was still very uncomfortable in her heart. She would not give up until she got justice for her precious jade.
Just as the old lady was thinking about how to punish Jia Cong, she heard Jia Cong kneeling on the ground and suddenly cried sadly: "Ancestor, I'm sorry for Baoyu. If he gets better, I'll pay him back. If he doesn't get better, I have to die to thank him."
