The housekeeper really ignored Jia Jue's words.

Jia Jue shouted angrily towards the door, saying:

"Where is the butler?"

Hubaoqi, who was in charge of Jia Jue's personal safety, heard his call and hurried to the accountant of Ningguo Mansion to find the butler.

Today's Jia Jue is like heaven in Ningguo Mansion.

The entire Ningguo Mansion is dependent on him for a living, and they must be loyal to Jia Jue.

Qin Keqing, who was next to him, heard Jia Jue calling the housekeeper over, and thought that he had done something wrong and that the third uncle wanted to expel him from Ningguo Mansion.

Thinking of this, Qin Keqing unconsciously leaked a few tears from the corners of his eyes.

She begged Jia Jue with a crying voice, saying:

"Third Uncle, what crimes have you committed and you are willing to accept punishment, I hope Third Uncle will not expel me from Ningguo Mansion."

Hearing Qin Keqing's pleading, Jia Jue looked puzzled, when would he drive Qin Keqing out of Ningguo Mansion.

Jia Jue said dumbfoundedly:

"Your Majesty, where did you hear these words?"

"Ningguo Mansion is your home, no one can drive you out from here."

With Jia Jue's guarantee, Qin Keqing smiled instantly, as if she had been worrying for nothing just now.

Just as the two were about to talk, a tiger and leopard rider hurried in with the housekeeper.

The steward came to Jia Jue without any hesitation, knelt down and begged for mercy:

"Master, damn the slave, some of it is the slave's fault!"

"I just hope that the master can spare my little life, and save my dog's life to continue serving the master!"

Hearing the steward's words, Jia Jue only felt that half of the anger in his heart had disappeared.

However, Jia Jue was furious about the housekeeper's refusal to send a maid to Qin Keqing's yard, so he must investigate clearly.

He deliberately asked in an angry tone:

"I have already ordered before that there are a few maids for each courtyard. Why is there no maid in this courtyard?"

 463 Hearing this, the butler let out a sigh of relief.

I thought it was something, but I didn't expect it to be such a small thing.

The butler still knelt on the ground and said in a humble tone:

"Master Qi, I have already sent the maid to the gate of Young Mistress's yard before, but Young Mistress never wanted it."

"In the end, I went back and forth a few times, and the young mistress let the maids come back."

Hearing this, Jia Jue looked at Qin Keqing with a puzzled expression.

She silently asked whether it was true or not, whether it was the evil slave who deceived the master, or whether Qin Keqing didn't want a maid.

Hearing Jia Jue's conversation with the housekeeper, Qin Keqing also roughly understood why Jia Jue was angry.

Hearing that the third uncle cared about her so much, Qin Keqing was really touched.

She came to Jia Jue with a respectful tone and said:

"Third uncle, it's all my fault. I was used to living alone before."

"As time goes on, I didn't ask the maid to come over, I still want to thank the third uncle for his concern.".

Chapter 283 Qin Keqing's Tenderness

When Jia Jue heard Qin Keqing's words, a wry smile appeared on his face.

I really didn't expect the truth of the matter to be like this.

Qin Keqing doesn't want a maid, and this alone makes Jia Jue curious.

Jia Jue waved his hand indifferently to the butler, and said:

"That's all, I can't blame you for all this, so you can step back for now."

Hearing Jia Jue's words, the butler quickly kowtowed to thank him.

Serving as an errand in Ningguo Mansion was something that the servants around could only dream of.

Jia Jue, the owner of the Ningguo Mansion, never cares about things, and spends very generously.

The rewards for servants have always been extremely generous.

Compared with Rongguo Mansion, which is also located on Rongning Street, the difference between the two is really one heaven and one underground.

After a cup of tea, only Jia Jue and Qin Keqing were left in the courtyard.

He asked Qin Keqing suspiciously:

"King, why don't you have a few maids to serve you in your daily life?"

For Qin Keqing's strange behavior, Jia Jue felt very strange.

One must know that there is also a servant girl serving Daiyu, and as Qin Keqing, the eldest mistress of Ningguo Mansion, there is no maidservant in the yard.

This made Jia Jue feel extremely strange.

Hearing the third uncle's question, Qin Keqing showed a trace of fear on his face, and said:

"Third Uncle, I can vividly remember what happened two years ago. I don't trust the maidservant who came from another family. Cleaning up everything in the yard by myself is a bit of fun."

Hearing this, Jia Jue felt a little pity for Qin Keqing, but also a little ridiculous.

Two years ago, Jia Zhen left Qin Keqing with too much hurt. After two years, Qin Keqing couldn't trust other people.

What's funny is that Qin Keqing is considered a lady after all, but she didn't expect to tidy up the yard by herself, doing these jobs that only maidservants can do.

Jia Jue walked up to Qin Keqing and said:

"But Qing, the matter has passed, and I will not let you suffer any other harm in the future."

Jia Jue's few words hit Qin Keqing's heart directly, making the weak woman's eyes drip with tears.

Thinking of the grievances she has suffered in the past two years, Qin Keqing feels extremely uncomfortable.

He threw himself directly into Jia Jue's arms.

Feeling the warmth in his arms, Jia Jue's body was a little stiff, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Obviously, Qin Keqing has not realized the strange state of the third uncle, she just feels the warmth of this embrace.

Looking at the charming beauty in his arms, Jia Jue gradually had some fiery thoughts in his heart.

After a night of spring breeze, Jia Jue opened his eyes and saw that the surrounding scene was really intoxicating.

But now is not the time to indulge in it, Emperor Longzheng is still waiting for him.

He was about to get up and get dressed, but found Qin Keqing walking in with a basin of water gently.

At this moment, Qin Keqing's face was still bright red, and the shyness in her eyes had not faded away.

Looking at the charming beauty in front of him, Jia Jue really wanted to lie down on the bed again.

"Third Uncle, breakfast is ready, let's wash up quickly."

Qin Keqing's numb tone rang in Jia Jue's ears, making him confused.

Just when Jia Jue's heart was burning, Xu Chu's simple voice rang in Jia Jue's ear.

"My lord, the palace has already sent people over to remind me several times, so let's go quickly."

Xu Chu's voice sounded like a needle prick in Jia Jue's ears.

The good atmosphere was actually ruined by this idiot, and now Jia Jue wants to pull Xu Chu out and dismember him.

Obviously, now is not the time to punish Xu Chu. When he looked up carefully, he found that the sun was already high and he should really enter the palace to face the saint.

Tomorrow is the day for the official hunting, some things still need to be reported to Emperor Longzheng in person.

Half an hour later, under the service of Qin Keqing, Jia Jue simply ate breakfast and walked towards the palace.

Coming to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Longzheng looked at Jia Jue with a strange expression, always feeling that something was wrong with Jia Jue today.

But what was wrong specifically, Emperor Longzheng couldn't detect it.

"¨Tomorrow is the day for hunting, but Jin Yiwei received the news, and the whole Shenjing seems to be not calm!"

Emperor Longzheng said to Jia Jue meaningfully.

Hearing this, Jia Jue didn't answer immediately, but began to lower his head to think (Wang Qiyi.

Since Emperor Longzheng has noticed that the atmosphere in Shenjing is not normal, it means that the truth of his investigation is about to surface.

He wanted to see who had the courage to fish in troubled waters in such a sensitive period.

Jia Jue said to Emperor Longzheng in a respectful tone:

"I have the guts to ask, what is wrong with Jin Yiwei's investigation?"

As soon as Jia Jue finished speaking, Emperor Longzheng's eyes became fierce.

He is not a benevolent emperor, since or no emperor is benevolent.

Emperor Longzheng turned around and told the eunuch Dai Quan beside him, saying:

"Tell me about the intelligence that Jin Yiwei has detected recently."

Chapter 284 The Hunting Begins, Small Actions Offstage

Dai Quan, who was next to Emperor Longzheng, heard the words, came to Jia Jue respectfully and said:

"Previously Jinyiwei detected a large number of unknown martial arts people in Shenjing for no reason, and they seem to be well-trained."

"This makes me feel very strange. I am obviously a martial arts person, why is he well-trained."

This was something Dai Quan couldn't figure out. He thought about it for a long time, and after a period of careful consideration, he still reported it to Emperor Longzheng.

Although the hunting was thought of by Emperor Longzheng for a while, Dai Quan knew very well that he needed to pay attention to Emperor Longzheng's safety at all times.

Jia Jue, who heard Dai Quan's words, bowed his head and began to meditate.

He already knew the information that Dai Quan said.

Now the first target of suspicion is Wang Shuimiao of Beijing, but he has no definite evidence, and the king of Beijing is the hereditary prince of the founding line.

Although there is no military power, the status is still very important.

Most people dare not touch such a character.

If it is not done well, it will cause a collective backlash from the founding line.

He believed that Emperor Longzheng would not easily touch Wang Shuimiao of Beijing.

Finally, Jia Jue thought carefully and said:

"Your Majesty, since you announced the hunt, I have been carefully observing the surroundings when I walk on the street on weekdays."

"I found some unknown martial arts people, but now I don't understand their purpose, and I don't dare to act without authorization."

Emperor Longzheng's face was extremely serious. He usually lived in the palace, and he could only get information about the outside world through Jin Yiwei.

For a moment, he couldn't tell who was behind the scenes.

And Jia Jue was also observing Emperor Longzheng's face all the time, as long as he found something wrong, he would tell his guess.

In the end, after careful consideration, Jia Jue still did not express his conjecture.

"Your Majesty, I feel that if you want to cancel the hunting, the safety of Your Majesty is the most important thing."

Jia Jue persuaded Emperor Long Zheng with a sincere face.

Hearing Jia Jue's persuasion, Emperor Longzheng had a gratified smile on his face, but he didn't intend to cancel.

I also have a different purpose for organizing this hunt myself. I want to take this opportunity to see how dirty there is under Shenjing.
