"Very good. I hope that the Second Mistress will not go back on her word and make us the laughing stock of the whole Rong Mansion…Oh! By the way, it seems that our First household has long become the laughing stock of the world.
It was fine…When the money arrived, they could laugh however they wanted.”
Seeing Madam Wang gnashing her teeth, Jia Lian's heart felt very clear.
Then, as if he had read Madam Wang's mind, he warned her again with a smile on his face.
The meaning of Jia Lian's words was that no one present was a fool. They could all understand that Jia Lian was telling Madam Wang that the First household had already lost all their face. If you want to play any tricks on me, then let's give it a try.
Anyway, the barefoot are not afraid of the ones wearing shoes. If you dare to play, then our family will play with you.
"Oh! By the way, there aren't many servants in the fu who are clean. In a while, I will tell the Shuntian Prefect Yin to arrest all the servants in the fu and sell them.”
"It's like the entire Lai family and Zhou Rui's family can't be left behind.
I have recruited 200 good men for the remaining servants. These 200 men will be the guards of Rong Mansion from now on. They can fight five or six people at once.”
"If you feel that there are too few slaves, then just buy more.”
Jia Lian did not wait for Lady Jia and Lady Wang to speak and continued to speak with his hands behind his back.
Hearing Jia Lian's words, Grandmother Jia and Madam Wang almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Lai family was Grandmother Jia's right-hand man, and Zhou Rui's was Madam Wang's right-hand man. The Lai family had great power and prestige in Rong and Ning Manors, and Zhou Rui was still used to the land rent of Rong Mansion in spring and autumn.
Zhou Rui's family was also in charge of the travel of the Rong Mansion's masters.
Jia Lian's matter was going to completely cut the two of them into pieces!
"Evil creature…evil creature!
I can't live anymore. I want to go back to Jinling. I want to go back to Jinling to accompany my ancestors.”
Grandmother Jia couldn't stand the stimulation and burst into tears.
He was going back to his hometown in Jinling.
"The ancestor is going back to Jinling. I'll arrange it for you today. You can set off early tomorrow morning.”
In the face of Grandmother Jia's crying, Jia Lian did not soften his heart at all. Instead, he followed Grandmother Jia's words and arranged for someone to send Grandmother Jia back to her hometown in Jinling.
Jinling was the foundation of Rong Mansion, and many of Rong Mansion's fields and businesses were also in Jinling.
Sending Grandmother Jia back would still allow her to lord it over Jinling like a local emperor.
It just so happened that without Grandmother Jia's presence in Rong Mansion, Jia Lian was able to focus on Madam Wang.
Of course, it would be best if Grandmother Jia took the Second household away with her.
"You…"
Seeing that Jia Lian agreed so readily, without the slightest bit of hesitation or concession towards her crying, Grandmother Jia almost fainted.
One had to know that she was the most important person in this family and everyone had to obey her. As long as she was unhappy, she just had to cry and everyone would give in to her.
This was because the Great Jin Dynasty prioritized filial piety.
Whoever was rumored to be unfilial would be despised by the world and would not even be able to make a proper friend.
His future would even be cut off.
But now, it was clear that Jia Lian did not fall for this. He did not know what filial piety was.
And what made Grandmother Jia feel the most uncomfortable was that Jia Lian was unfilial, but his words were following her wishes to send her to Jinling.
It was really difficult for her to tell outsiders about this.
After all, Liu Wen, the big shot of the Ministry of Revenue, was here as a witness.
But the problem was that she didn't want to go back to Jinling. Although she could still do whatever she wanted in Jinling, Jinling couldn't compare to the Rong Mansion in Beijing.
She was born into a prominent family and lived a carefree life. Her only obsession was fame and fortune, and a group of people surrounded her and praised her.
She had heard such compliments her entire life and was a little tired of it. She knew what to say the moment she opened her mouth and knew the purpose of the person who complimented her.
However, even if she was tired of hearing it, she still liked to hear it.
Not only would she be rewarded handsomely, but she would also do her best to help whoever asked her for help.
Therefore, Rong Mansion was her foundation. If she returned to her hometown in Jinling, she could not afford to lose face.
Therefore, he could not go back to Jinling.
Lady Jia suppressed the anger in her heart and stopped crying. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and secretly gave Lady Wang a look.
Madam Wang could understand the look in Grandmother Jia's eyes. Although she also hoped that Grandmother Jia, who had been pressing down on her, would return to Jinling or just disappear.
However, Grandmother Jia could not go back now.
Although Grandmother Jia was old, she still had a lot of use. Moreover, Grandmother Jia was on the same front as her.
"Brother Lian, the old lady is getting on in years.
Besides, the old lady didn't show her filial piety to her children and grandchildren when she arrived in Jinling. You're unfilial.”
"The old lady is so angry that she wants to go back. This is absolutely not allowed. Otherwise, how will outsiders view the Rong Mansion?”
Madam Wang spoke softly but with a sharp needle tip as she tried to persuade Jia Lian.
Besides, it would be unfilial of a grandson like you not to stop Grandmother Jia from returning to her hometown.
If it were anyone else, they would definitely be stumped by Madam Wang's question.
But who was Jia Lian?
Putting aside the fact that Jia Lian was already shameless, he was determined not to back down.
"Oh, what Second Mistress said is also true. However, logically speaking, our family should have been separated ten or twenty years ago. However, we haven't been separated until now. Why don't we take this opportunity to separate the family? Then, Second Mistress and Second Master will bring your family back to serve the ancestors.”
"Don't worry, our First household and the East Mansion are supporting the capital.”
Jia Lian smiled coldly in his heart, as if he had been awakened by Madam Wang. He patted his forehead and took the opportunity to bring up the matter of splitting the family with Madam Wang.
Logically speaking, Jia Lian was the heir of Rong Mansion and had the right to say this. However, there was still Jia She above him. As long as Jia She did not say anything, Jia Lian would be overstepping his boundaries.
To put it bluntly, Jia She was the most suitable person to say this, but the current Jia Lian was not the Jia Lian of the past.
The current Jia Lian is a transmigrator. He doesn't care about his reputation and face just to fight with you.
I have the golden thigh of the system, which is like having the resurrection armor. Why would I be afraid of you?
What face and reputation did he care about?
Face was given to you by others because you were powerful and valuable. It was not something that could be earned bit by bit.
If you don't clean up the Rong Mansion today, no one will think highly of you even if you lose your life.
At most, I will call you Second Master Lian for the sake of Rong Mansion.
