I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion

Chapter 22 Mrs. Wang's Malice

Rongxi Hall.

Jia Zheng first went to visit the unconscious Lady Jia. He was very worried and asked her again about how she fainted.

The maids in the room were vague and didn't want to speak out. Jia Zheng was a little angry and asked Feicui, who served Jia's grandmother personally, to reply.

"Jadeite, what's going on? Why did the old lady faint? And what happened to Baoyu?" Jia Zheng's face was gloomy and there was a hint of majesty in his voice.

He glanced at Mrs. Wang, who had an unhappy expression on her face, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. He blamed her for not taking good care of Lady Jia.

Mrs. Wang's heart tightened, and she quickly winked at Feicui, signaling her not to talk nonsense.

Feicui secretly groaned in her heart. She was Lady Jia's personal maid and had always been favored by her. Now she was about to get married and had already been engaged. She didn't want to offend the housekeeper at this time.

However, she could not escape Jia Zheng's gaze. She could only sigh that she was unlucky and grit her teeth to recount the incident of Jia's mother's fainting.

Feicui lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly. She didn't dare to look at Jia Zheng's expression. She could only lower her head and nervously fiddle with the corner of her clothes.

Her heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to jump out of her throat. She knew she had to come up with a way as soon as possible to cover up the fact that Jia Baoyu had knocked Lady Jia unconscious.

She was thinking fast, but when she spoke her words became incoherent and she could only utter a few vague words in the hope of deceiving Jia Zheng.

Logically speaking, a maid like Feicui, who has seen big scenes, shouldn't be so nervous and incompetent.

But because she had a brief contact with Jia Cheng today, when her favorability towards Jia Cheng increased, she absorbed a little bit of his luck.

Who made her a face-obsessed person? When she saw Jia Cheng’s good looks, her favorability suddenly shot up to 65, and her luck loss was a little more than that of others.

Jia Cheng didn't care about that little bit of luck, but the loss of this bit of luck would bring bad luck to Feicui, and suddenly made her less smart.

What Feicui wanted to hide was impossible to hide. Jia Zheng was not a man who was easily fooled. He keenly noticed the abnormality of Feicui and heard the fact that she wanted to hide.

His face turned gloomy, veins on his forehead bulged, and his eyes flashed with anger. He roared at the dumbfounded Jia Baoyu with a deafening roar.

"Rebellious son, rebellious son, you are six years old, not a child, yet you are so reckless.

You're such a grown-up, but you still bump into your grandmother. You don't have any sense of composure at all.

Now you have caused the old lady to be unconscious. If anything happens to her, I will beat you to death."

Jia Zheng's voice was full of anger and disappointment. He couldn't imagine that his son was so ignorant as to do such a thing.

Jia Baoyu was so scared that he shrank his neck and widened his eyes in horror. He had never seen his father so furious.

Normally he didn't like studying, so his father liked to scold him, but his scolding had never been so ferocious and terrifying.

He wanted to explain, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something. He could only sit there blankly, watching Jia Zheng's face become more and more uglier.

When Feicui saw this scene, her heart was filled with guilt and self-blame. What if the second master scared Baoyu?

Baoyu is the old lady's life, and now she is in trouble.

Jia Zheng's anger made Wang Fu Ren clutch her handkerchief tightly. She glared at the tongue-tied Fei Cui and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "Master, Bao Yu is still young. What does he know? He didn't mean it."

Jia Zheng snorted in dissatisfaction, "You are not young anymore. You are six years old and still don't know anything. What will you achieve in the future?"

When Jia Baoyu heard his father's evaluation of him, his eyes became even more dull. He was frightened by Jia Zheng's roar just now.

Baoyu's dazed look made Mrs. Wang feel distressed, and her heart was filled with fear and worry.

Baoyu is the old lady's most beloved grandson and the future and hope of the entire Jia family. If anything happens to Baoyu, she will not live.

Mrs. Wang hated Jia She's family. If Jia She had not brought Jia Cheng to Rong Xi Tang, nothing would have happened to the old lady.

Mrs. Wang came over and hugged Jia Baoyu to calm him down, then said to Jia Zheng: "Normally, Baoyu was fine when he was with the old lady. Today, the eldest master brought Cheng'er here, and Cheng'er insisted that Baoyu sit in the old lady's arms, which caused the old lady to faint. This is not Baoyu's fault."

When Mrs. Wang said this, tears welled up in her eyes and she looked extremely pitiful.

She lowered her head to hide her anger towards Jia Cheng. It was all this brat's fault. If he hadn't come, the old lady wouldn't have gotten into trouble and Baoyu wouldn't have been scolded.

After hearing what Mrs. Wang said, Jia Zheng became even angrier. "You don't have to put the blame on Cheng-ge'er. Bao-yu was wrong, and a loving mother often spoils her son.

He has been a lazy boy since he was young, he doesn't like to study, and he likes some strange and lewd skills, it's all because of you."

Jia Baoyu now likes to hang out with women, likes to play with rouge and powder, and even wants to make rouge.

Jia Zheng also knew about this, but he turned a blind eye to it. Now he could use this to teach Jia Baoyu a lesson.

Mrs. Wang touched Jia Baoyu's head and felt relieved to see that he was feeling better. Then she became angry.

"Master, I know you look down on my Baoyu, but he is still young. He has only done a small mistake. How can he bear it if you scold him so loudly?

You see, Baoyu has been frightened by you. If you don't like us, then we will go find Zhu'er. If Zhu'er is still alive, Baoyu won't have to suffer so much. "

When Mrs. Wang mentioned Jia Zhu, Jia Zheng was silent. Jia Zhu was his most satisfied son, but it was a pity that he died young.

At this time, Mrs. Wang spoke again, "Baoyu is the old lady's sweetheart. If the old lady knew that the master scolded Baoyu like this, she would definitely be heartbroken."

After hearing this, Jia Zheng became even more silent. He knew that Baoyu was the old lady's favorite, and he also knew the old lady's love and expectations for Baoyu.

He originally wanted to take this opportunity to teach Baoyu a lesson, to make him control his temper and stop doing whatever he wants.

But after Mrs. Wang said this, he could no longer scold Jia Baoyu.

Jia Zheng's face turned pale and he snorted again.

Mrs. Wang quietly rolled her eyes at Jia Zheng and kept humming and groaning, saying that only pigs would behave like that.

At this time, the housekeeper invited the imperial physician to come over. The imperial physician carefully examined Lady Jia and said that the old lady would wake up after a good rest, but her body was still very weak and needed to rest for a while.

After hearing this, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang both felt relieved.

Mrs. Wang patted Jia Baoyu gently and said, "Baoyu, don't be afraid. The old lady is fine."

Baoyu cried and said, "I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it."

Mrs. Wang said, "I know, I know. Baoyu, it's not your fault."

It’s all Jia Cheng’s fault, that unlucky guy.

Baoyu nodded, and then Mrs. Wang asked the head maid Keren to carry Jia Baoyu back to the room to rest.

Jia Zheng looked at Keren struggling to hold Jia Baoyu, and his anger flared up again.

"Look at how old Baoyu is, but he still wants the maid to hold him. He looks so fat that the maid can't even hold him. Humph, look at how handsome Cheng is. You can tell at a glance that he is a good student."

Mrs. Wang was so angry about Jia Zheng's comments on Jia Baoyu that her teeth itched. Baoyu was not obese at all. It is healthy for children to be a little fat.

Jia Cheng is so thin and weak, he may never grow up, Mrs. Wang cursed in her heart.

At the same time, she hated the eldest wife of the Jia family even more. Jia Cheng was definitely a bad omen for her Baoyu. If she didn't get rid of this great threat, Mrs. Wang always felt that her second half of life would not be peaceful.

At this time, Mrs. Wang became even more malicious towards Jia Cheng.
