"Yes, sir!"
Hearing Jia Lian's words, Yuanyang paused for a moment and answered honestly without hiding anything.
"Let's go. Let's see what the Godly Sea Steadying Needle of Rong Mansion is up to.”
Jia Lian examined this staunch mandarin duck. After listening to her words, he did not make things difficult for her. He stood up and let mandarin duck lead the way.
Yuanyang was very beautiful. After being chosen by Jia She, she was stopped by Grandmother Jia.
After Grandmother Jia died, Yuanyang went with Grandmother Jia because she did not want Jia She to get her.
Not long after Grandmother Jia's death, the Rong Mansion was also raided.
It could be said that Grandmother Jia had been served by servants from birth to marriage until her death.
She was so happy that even after she died, she could still be buried in a grand manner.
Grandmother Jia's life, from birth to death, was truly worth it.
…
At the residence of the Lady Dowager in Rong Qing Hall…
"You bastard, you spent the money in the residence and offended all your family connections in exchange for your own wealth. You're really too selfish.
For your own sake, you won't even let go of the East Mansion.”
After seeing the old lady, the old lady looked at Jia Lian and immediately started scolding him.
Grandmother Jia felt that she was really going to die of anger from Jia Lian.
If Jia Lian was Jia Zheng, she wouldn't be angry and would even praise him for his intelligence.
Because in her eyes, the first branch was an outsider, and only the second branch was her family.
"Ha, Old Lady, this grandson is doing this to serve the emperor. Forget about the East Mansion, even if you do something that betrays the court, this grandson will report it truthfully and impeach you in front of all the civil and military officials.”
Jia Lian smiled coldly in the face of Grandmother Jia's scolding. He casually cupped his hands and spoke to Grandmother Jia.
Hearing Jia Lian's words, Grandmother Jia's face turned green.
Grandmother Jia understood what Jia Lian meant by this. It was nothing more than a warning to her not to meddle in other people's business. Otherwise, Jia Lian might expose the dark things she had done and let her, an 80-year-old woman who had lived a dignified life, fall into ruin.
She valued dignity more than her own life, but Jia Lian was shameless.
For the sake of benefits, I don't mind being cursed at by everyone.
Compared to Jia Lian, who was barefoot and had no reputation, she did not dare to go against Jia Lian.
When Jia Lian said that he would throw caution to the wind, he would really disregard his own family. She couldn't do it, and she couldn't give up even more because she wanted her face.
"Do you know that today's Rong Mansion was fought for by the ancestors of the Jia family for several generations?
Are you only willing to do this after defeating the Rong Mansion?”
Grandmother Jia took a deep breath and kept comforting herself that Jia Lian would die a horrible death.
After calming her emotions, Grandmother Jia spoke to Jia Lian earnestly.
"Hehe…Hahahaha…Old Madam, if you say that I'm a prodigal, I won't admit it. No matter how you think that I'm a prodigal…"
"Then this grandson will have to argue with you. You said that this grandson squandered because this grandson had repaid the money owed by the Imperial Court with interest, plus that 350,000 dan of grain. However, you don't know that borrowing money and returning the money is a matter of course.”
"Moreover, the Imperial Court is currently in a difficult time. As a noble family of the Imperial Court, I should take the lead and set an example.”
"Besides, the money that I have paid back has brought real benefits to the Rong Mansion. When the Grand Master (Jia Daishan) was still alive, the Rong Mansion was a noble and wealthy family. Now, under your rule, the Rong Mansion has become rich and noble.”
"You can only rely on the blessings left behind by your ancestors to live, and you have no real power in the court. People see that my Rong Mansion is flattering on the surface and belittling behind it.”
Jia Lian listened to Grandmother Jia's words and couldn't help but mock her in his heart.
Hearing Jia Lian's words, Grandmother Jia's face turned as ugly as it could be.
Especially when he heard Jia Lian say that the Rong Mansion had turned from noble to rich under your rule.
This sentence seemed to be nothing, but it really represented different classes.
Nobility was nobility, and a wealthy family could be called a wealthy family.
Even the families of big merchants with connections in the court could be considered rich.
There was a huge difference between nobility and wealth.
Therefore, these words were as ear-piercing as they could be in Grandmother Jia's ears.
"I don't know what I've done, but at least I can guarantee three generations of wealth in Rong Mansion. Just the hundreds of thousands you spend a year is enough to feed a county.”
"You alone are able to drag the Rong Mansion to the point where we can't make ends meet, not to mention that you connived at the second branch and the servants in the family to wantonly swallow nearly five million taels of silver in the Rong Mansion.”
"Let's not talk about the Second household first, just the amount of money I squander is not as much as the money that the servants in the residence have embezzled.
It's said that any servant in my Ning and Rong Manors is more respectable than a first-rank official in the court.”
"Is it because in your eyes, fighting for the family is a wastrel? What you did was for the good of Rong Mansion!”
Jia Lian didn't give the old lady any chance to speak. He paused for a moment before the old lady was about to open her mouth to question Mother Jia again.
In the end, Jia Lian couldn't control his emotions.
Especially when he thought of the original story where Grandmother Jia truly enjoyed a lifetime of glory and wealth. After she died, she left behind a Rong and Ning residences that were riddled with holes.
In the end, the Shi family was confiscated and Shi Xiangyun was sold to a brothel. The Lady Dowager swallowed the Lin family's property and finally made Lin Daiyu so angry that she vomited blood and finally fell to the bed and died of tears.
Xue Baochai was married to Jia Baoyu, but in the end, the Xue family was defeated and Xue Baochai lived a life of eating one meal after another.
Sanchun Yingchun was sold to a sadist for 5,000 taels of silver by Jia She, and was tortured to death in less than a year. It should be known that this was not because Jia Yingchun had lived for a year, but because Jia Yingchun had been tortured for a year before dying.
Jia Xichun, on the other hand, had become a nun early on, and in the end, his heart died and he cut off everything.
As for Jia Tanchun, she originally had a good marriage, but people despised her for being born a concubine. In the end, the marriage was left unsettled. However, the imperial court was defeated in the war with the Southern Barbarian Island…
The Nan 'an County Wangfei had taken Jia Tanchun in as her goddaughter and used him as a bargaining chip for the marriage alliance.
And his daughter, Qiao 'er, who was now Big Niu Niu, was also sold to a brothel to receive customers.
If Granny Liu hadn't made it in time, she would have ended up with Shi Xiangyun even more tragically.
How old was Shi Xiangyun when she was sold into the brothel? How old was her daughter when she was sold into the brothel?
As for his wife, Wang Xifeng, she had not seen Da Niuniu even after she died.
It could be said that there were many reasons why Rong Mansion was raided.
And Grandmother Jia and Madam Wang had more than half of the credit.
