It was very likely that his predecessor had died in the heart of his father, Jia She, knowing that he could not defeat Madam Wang and could only be forced to listen to Madam Wang's orders to save his life in the end.
And it was precisely because of this that the predecessor lived a luxurious life and did not think about his future.
Thinking of this, Jia Lian couldn't help but gasp.
If that was the case, then Jia Lian loved Wang Xifeng too much. If Jia Lian didn't love Wang Xifeng, why didn't he find a good woman?
With Jia Lian's status, it was easy for him to find a decent woman.
In the end, she found Second Sister You, probably because Wang Xifeng had completely disappointed her.
After all, Wang Xifeng was Madam Wang's niece. They were from the same family.
Therefore, according to this reasoning, the predecessor knew the truth and did not dare to tell Wang Xifeng, while Wang Xifeng thought that Madam Wang was her aunt and was determined to follow Madam Wang.
In addition, Wang Xifeng had miscarriages twice and lost her child. This made her predecessor, who had always been giving in, have the idea of having a son.
It was also at that time that Second Sister You was pregnant with Jia Lian's child…
Just thinking about it made Jia Lian's head hurt.
Because at this moment, he was not only facing Madam Wang and his daughter-in-law, Wang Xifeng, but also the Grandmother Jia, who favored the second branch to the extreme.
"Ding! The system activated…
Option 1: Accustom to the new identity and follow the storyline.
[Mission Reward: Business Proficiency]
Option 2: Rebellion if you are not satisfied with the current situation.
[Mission Reward: Proficient in Cooking]
Option 3: Persuade Wang Xifeng to turn back and fight against Madam Wang with him.
[Mission reward: 200 elite Embroidered Uniform Guards.] [Note: 200 elite Jinyiwei are locals. Not only are they skilled, but they are also first-class investigators.]
If the host chooses option 3, they will quickly gather around the host and listen to the host's orders. They will be 100% loyal to the host.”
While Jia Lian was worrying, a voice that seemed to come from the ancient times rang out in his mind.
Hearing the voice, Jia Lian's eyes instantly lit up.
Hearing the options given by the system, a bold idea suddenly arose in his mind.
At the same time, Jia Lian silently chose option 3.
Jia Lian thought that since things had already come to this point, why not directly break and then build.
Since you've been plotting against me, I definitely can't do as you wish!
Even if I have to fight to the death with you, I have the system to make a comeback.
Even without the Rong Mansion, I have the system and advanced knowledge, so why can't I build another Rong Mansion?
What a joke. If he didn't have this little ability, wouldn't he be wearing it for nothing?
"My Second Master, what are you thinking about? Why are you staring at the mirror so intently?”
Just as Jia Lian made up his mind, Wang Xifeng hugged Jia Lian from behind and asked him mischievously.
In front of outsiders, Wang Xifeng was a phoenix, but in front of Jia Lian, she was a sweet little girl in love.
At that time, the premise was that Jia Lian had not been caught cheating.
"Ai, I'm thinking that I, Jia Lian, can only have one child in this life, Big Niu Niu (Sister Qiao 'er doesn't have a name yet, only a baby name). In the future, the title of nobility of the Rong Mansion and the Grand Master will probably fall on Jia Baoyu.”
"In the future, it will be very fortunate for the two of us to be able to get a house and a few acres of fertile land from Second Mistress to live on.
It was a pity that there was no Rong Mansion. In the future, if Niu Niu got married, she would not have a decent dowry or two. Even if she got married, she would only be able to marry those poor people and live a life where she could not eat or sleep well.”
Feeling Wang Xifeng's hot breath, Jia Lian's heart throbbed.
However, he still suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and pretended to be depressed as he spoke to Wang Xifeng.
Hearing Jia Lian's words, Wang Xifeng's expression immediately changed.
Although she was close to Madam Wang, in her heart, the Rong Mansion and the title of nobility would belong to her husband Jia Lian and their future children.
Especially when she heard that her beloved daughter could only marry a commoner without a decent dowry, it made her even angrier.
"Second Master, what are you talking about? Could it be that you've eaten too much wine and still haven't woken up?”
Wang Xifeng pushed Jia Lian's back and said to Jia Lian angrily.
"You don't understand!
The Rong Mansion is the First household's, but everyone knows that the Rong Mansion belongs to the Second household.”
" Everything in the Rong Mansion is handled by the Second household. The Old Lady is biased towards the Second household. The Second Lady has been in charge of the household for so many years. Although she has given you the right to manage the household and returned it to the First household, don't tell me…"
"You don't know that our residence's public accounts are seriously in deficit and are almost unable to make ends meet.
Do you know what people are saying now? No one in the Second household has the ability to manage the Rong Mansion. It's the Second household who has been worrying for so many years.”
"Now that the first branch has finally produced a capable steward like you, the second branch has happily returned the steward's rights to the original owner.
But?"
"But most of the wealth of Rong Mansion went into the Second household's pocket, and they even lost a good reputation…"
Jia Lian saw that Wang Xifeng had gone into the ditch and was happy for a moment. Then, he continued to complain to Wang Xifeng in front of him.
Listening to Jia Lian's story, Wang Xifeng's face turned even uglier.
She admitted that everything Jia Lian said was true.
However, there was indeed no one in the First household. The two people who were the most in charge were Jia She, who spent every day drinking and fooling around with a group of concubines.
As for Lady Xing, other than showing her face in front of Grandmother Jia every day, she would hide at home and not go out.
She had no choice but to suck up to her aunt, Madam Wang, for the sake of First Master.
He had been serving Lady Wang for a long time, and now he had the right to manage the household. By the way, the public account of Rong Mansion was indeed in a huge deficit.
But even if she knew about the deficit, what could she do?
Madam Wang could give her power to others as well.
If she exposed this matter, her life in Rong Mansion would be even more difficult.
First of all, offending Lady Wang would indirectly offend Grandmother Jia, the stabilizing force of Rong Mansion.
However, she had never expected that her aunt would be so greedy as to covet the Rong Mansion and the title of nobility.
This was something that she could not tolerate.
"To put it bluntly, the First household has been taken over by the Second household. The Old Lady is on the Second household's side. She dotes on the Second household and dislikes the First household. The Second household wants the Rong Mansion and the title of nobility because of the Old Lady.”
"Otherwise, when the First Master inherited the title, he would have separated from the Second household. Back then, the old lady had probably had this idea when she refused to let him go.”
