From afar, Grandmother Jia saw Jia Huan in the distance. Looking at the python robe on his body, Grandmother Jia was extremely excited.
One had to know that she was the wife of the previous Duke of Rong, Jia Daishan. As the Duke of Rong, Jia Daishan was wearing the highest robe!
The current Jia Huan was wearing a robe with three imperial pythons, and there was not much to investigate about the High Duke from back then. Now, it was as if the High Duke had been resurrected.
"Is that Brother Huan?"
Xue Baochai, who was following behind Aunt Xue, thought to herself as she looked at the imposing Jia Huan riding over.
These days, the person she had heard the most about was Jia Huan. Everyone said that there was a Jia Baoyu in the Rong Public House who was born with a jade in his mouth. It could be said that he had a bright future.
But now, it seemed like it was all a joke. Brother Huan was only twelve years old, but he was already a first-grade marquis. How could Jia Baoyu compare?
Aunt Xue, on the other hand, was extremely envious. Any mother who saw Jia Huan would have the thought of wishing that he was her son.
At this moment, the happiest person among the sisters was naturally Jia Tanchun, because she was Jia Huan's biological sister, the sister of the same father and mother.
The other was Aunt Zhao. She was laughing so hard that she was about to go crazy. However, because of her status, she could only stand at the back.
Even some servants and butlers could stand in front of her. If it wasn't for her throwing a tantrum all these years, who knew if Jia Huan would have been able to grow up safely.
After all, Jia Huan knew a little about Madam Wang's ruthlessness. For example, why Jia Lian never had a son, why Wang Xifeng had many miscarriages, and so on.
Jia Huan dismounted from his horse and waved his hand. Hundreds of soldiers turned around and stood guard at the entrance of Rong Mansion.
Personal guards, this was a treatment that only a Lord could receive. Because the descendants of the Jia family had failed to live up to expectations, they did not even have a single military merit. They were only left with the noble title of first-class general. Naturally, they did not have the right to plant a halberd at the door or have personal guards.
Seeing this scene, for some reason, all the men and women in the Jia residence trembled. An emotion called pride rose from their bodies.
Although everyone used to say that the Jia family was indescribably noble, now that they were compared, they knew that the Jia family was no longer a first-class family in the capital!
Because there were no lords, no military power, and no high officials.
"Greetings, ancestor."
Jia Huan cupped his hands at Grandmother Jia. This was etiquette and filial piety, especially in ancient times. Even the emperor had to respect the elderly when he saw them.
Grandmother Jia nodded excitedly and quickly helped Jia Huan up.
"Alright, alright! Brother Huan is good. Now that Brother Huan has been conferred the title of a first-class marquis, my Jia family can be considered to have returned to the capital as a first-class family!”
Grandmother Jia said so, and the others also revealed happy expressions. Jia Huan's rise made them feel even more dignified.
Then, Jia Huan looked at Jia Zheng. Although this cheap father did not care much about him, he had to admit that without his approval, he would not even be able to leave the Jia residence. How could he make contributions? Moreover, with their blood relationship here, Jia Huan would not be careless.
"Greetings, Father."
Looking at Jia Huan, the smile on Jia Zheng's face never stopped. He had completely forgotten that the person who treated Jia Huan as if he did not exist back then was not him.
According to the rules, the next person to meet was his mother, then his uncles, elders, aunts, and sisters.
But who knew that Jia Huan would actually glance at Madam Wang and then directly walk over in large strides.
"Whoosh!"
In an instant, the entire place was in an uproar. Even the surrounding commoners who were watching were shocked.
Madam Wang's face turned pale in an instant. She was furious, but she did not dare to speak out because the personal guards of the Snow Dragon Riders were staring at her coldly.
Jia Huan strode forward. Everyone, whether it was Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, the Jia family's men, or the servant girls and manservants, all hurriedly pushed them away. They actually directly split a path in the middle. No one dared to look Jia Huan in the eye.
"Brother, Brother Huan!"
Aunt Zhao, who was standing at the back, looked excited.
Jia Huan looked at Nanny Lai, who was shielding Lady Zhao behind her, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Pa!"
Under the shocked gazes of everyone present, Jia Huan actually sent him flying with a slap!
"Ah!"
The maidservants and young ladies cried out in surprise and looked at Jia Huan in shock.
"Bah! My birth mother is only a concubine, but is she someone a servant like you can bully?”
"Who allowed you to stand in front of my birth mother?”
The entire place was silent.
Fresh blood flowed out from the corner of Granny Lai's mouth. Fear instantly spread throughout her entire body. She directly kowtowed to Jia Huan.
"Brother Huan, please spare my life!”
However, at this moment, the Snow Dragon Cavalry guard behind him suddenly pulled out the Northern Liang saber at his waist, and a murderous aura filled the entire area.
"Call me Lord Marquis in the future! Do you think you deserve to call me Brother Huan?"
Hearing Jia Huan's words, Nanny Lai was scared out of her wits. Grandmother Jia's expression was not too good, and even worse was Madam Wang.
They could tell that Jia Huan was demonstrating his power and taking revenge at the same time! It seemed that all that Jia Huan had endured over the years had been secretly remembered. Now that he had made a meteoric rise, he was going to take it back one by one.
Jia Huan came in front of Aunt Zhao. Although Aunt Zhao's words were unpleasant, he had to admit that if he wanted to survive in this dirty Jia residence, he really had to have someone like Aunt Zhao.
If it wasn't for her, he wouldn't be alive because his existence was a threat to Jia Baoyu.
Therefore, Jia Huan slowly knelt down. Since he had transmigrated to become Jia Huan, he should inherit everything from Jia Huan, including family ties, so there was nothing to be ashamed of.
"This child is unfilial. How is mother's health?”
Looking at Jia Huan in front of her, Aunt Zhao cried tears of joy. How many years had it been! He had finally waited for this day.
"Good, everything is good for Mother!"
At this moment, it was not just the commoners who were paying attention to this place. There were also the officials and ministers of the court.
Everyone had a scale in their hearts. Jia Huan was probably not on good terms with the Jia residence!
