"I... I..."
"I don't want this anymore!"
Jia Baoyu panicked and took off the jade from his neck and threw it away.
"Ah!"
The women present could not help but exclaim when they saw this.
Everyone knew that Jia Baoyu was born with a jade in his mouth. That piece of jade was more precious than anything else.
For a moment, the hall was in a panic. Those who picked up the jade picked up the jade, and those who comforted Baoyu comforted Baoyu.
Lin Daiyu was so scared that her face turned pale. Many people's eyes were as sharp as knives as they fell on her, as if they were blaming her.
"Humph."
Jia Fou snorted coldly and shouted,""Yaowu."
"Second Master!"
A cold-looking young man immediately came in from outside the door and bowed respectfully.
"Send someone to the manor to invite Eldest Brother to come, and also send someone to invite Uncle She, Second Uncle Zheng, and Second Brother Lian."”
"Just say what I said. The Jia family has committed a sin and should open an ancestral hall to punish the ancestors!”
Boom!
These words were like a thunderbolt that exploded in Rongqing Hall.
Everyone's expression changed drastically. Open the ancestral hall and punish him!
"Why is it like this!"
Grandmother Jia said anxiously.
In her opinion, this was just a small matter. How could it be a matter of opening an ancestral hall?
"Ningguo Manor's Jia Xu greets the old ancestor!”
Under everyone's gaze, Jia Fu bowed slightly and saluted Grandmother Jia.
"What is it? You're the one who beat Zhou Rui in front of the door..."
Madam Wang blurted out, her face full of anger.
Zhou Rui's wife was her maid, and Jia Fu had publicly whipped her in front of the Rong Mansion, which was equivalent to putting her face on the ground and stepping on it.
How could she tolerate this?
"So that beast is actually Second Aunt's subordinate. No wonder it is like this today…"
Jia Fou sneered and swept his gaze across Jia Baoyu.
Everyone present understood what he meant.
"You…"
Madam Wang was so angry that her face turned purple. She almost fainted on the spot.
Looking deeply at Jia Fu, Grandmother Jia said in a deep voice,""In the past, Brother Jing of the East Mansion had a young son.”
"Take the Gui one foot and two inches long and have a Zan. It is recorded in the genealogy as the meaning of the ancestral temple.”
"In the blink of an eye, sixteen years have passed. I didn't expect you to grow so tall and have the style of the Xianning Country.”
"However, if you don't give me an explanation for why you came to this Rongqing Hall today, don't blame me for giving you a disobedient name.”
What was that?
Hearing this.
Everyone's expression changed drastically.
Disobedience was the number one crime designated by the government. If this crime was placed on Jia He, not only would the government punish him, but the entire Divine Capital would treat Jia He as a rat crossing the street. How could a disobedient and unfilial person be respected by others?
Jia Cui was not surprised by Grandmother Jia's words at all.
Jia Baoyu was Grandmother Jia's favorite. He had openly said that he would open the ancestral hall to punish Jia Baoyu, so it was no wonder that Grandmother Jia had done so.
When Madam Wang heard this, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and there was a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes.
Madam Xing, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, and the others all had different expressions.
Lin Daiyu and Xichun were two of the few people who were worried about Jia Cui.
"Pa, pa, pa!"
With a smile on his face, Jia Fu clapped his hands and said lightly,""What a big hat."
"It's a pity that it's not suitable for me. It's better to give it to Second Aunt.”
"He indulged a servant to open a corner door, neglected the daughter of a high official of the country, and now he is covering up and insulting the son of an in-law.”
"What do you think, Old Ancestor?"
"This…"
Grandmother Jia was instantly stunned.
"According to military law, such a servant should be beaten to death and thrown outside the capital.”
"Master only ordered people to whip him thirty times, which was already very kind, but I didn't expect that someone would dare to use this to insult him.”
"It seems that the Rong Mansion has forgotten that they were once one of the founding fathers of the country. They have forgotten that two generations of Rong Guogong risked their lives to obtain wealth.”
"Such a forgetful person, I'm afraid it won't be long before his name is removed from the Imperial Court.”
Jia Fou continued.
Instantly.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Madam Xing, Madam Wang, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, and the others felt a chill run down their spines as their bodies trembled.
Even Grandmother Jia did not expect Zhou Rui to be so bold as to open the corner door to welcome Lin Daiyu. That was the door that servants usually entered and exited.
If this news were to spread, Lin Ruhai of Gusu would be furious. The entire Divine Capital and even Great Gan would secretly mock the Jia Clan for being immoral.
"About Sister Lin."
"I'm not from Rong Mansion, so I can't say much.”
"Just one sentence, men and women are different. Don't teach people to do things that will disgrace the family.”
Looking around at the crowd, Jia Fou said coldly.
Everyone's expression changed slightly. Even Grandmother Jia was a little afraid of this matter.
After all, Lin Daiyu's mother, Jia Min, was the daughter of Grandmother Jia. Lin Daiyu's father, Lin Ruhai, was a doctor of Lantai Temple, a salt inspector, and a third-grade official.
If it really got out and the Lin family and the Jia family fell out, who would dare to marry the Jia family?
"I haven't seen you for so many years. Does little sister still remember big brother?”
From the crowd, Jia Fou saw the little radish head with a single glance.
Xichun, who was only seven years old, already had some of the coldness of the later generations, which made Jia Fu's heart ache.
Jia Wei and Jia Zhen were of the same mother, and Xichun was only born to Jia Jing after drinking and having sex with a maidservant. His mother died early, and in the Ningguo Manor, he was equivalent to an invisible person.
Later, Grandmother Jia took pity on his background and raised him in Rongguo Mansion. He grew up with Yuanchun, Yingchun and Tanchun.
It was a pity that Chun was not a member of Rong Mansion, so she was inevitably neglected by the servants.
"Second brother?"
Looking at the handsome man in front of her, some distant memories surfaced in Xichun's mind.
"Good sister, I am your second brother.”
"Older Brother has some urgent matters to attend to now. I will send someone to bring you back to the residence in the future.”
"Guanyan, from today onwards, you will follow and look after my sister. If anyone dares to slack off, they will be beaten to death on the spot.”
Jia Fou waved his hand, and a tall woman behind him immediately stepped forward and bowed to Xichun.
"Big brother."
Xichun looked at the tall maid with a confused expression.
The people around him were all secretly wary. From now on, with Jia Cui around, Xichun was no longer that orphan girl who had no one to rely on.
Lin Daiyu and Tanchun couldn't help but reveal a hint of envy. They also wanted such a protective and overbearing 'good brother'.
