I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion

Chapter 24 Jia She's Family Tradition

After being blessed by the system pills, Jia Cheng became more and more ethereal, and when he occasionally didn't smile, he seemed as if he was about to ascend to become an immortal.

This made Mrs. Xing feel very threatened. She wished she could stay by her son's side all the time, fearing that Jia Cheng would go back to heaven to become a god on impulse.

She often sneaked into Jia Cheng's room at night, staring at his sleeping face, her heart filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

She was afraid of losing her son, afraid that he would leave this world and return to a place she could not reach.

Jia She couldn't stand Mrs. Xing's fussing. He felt that Jia Cheng must have come to the mortal world to enjoy the prosperity of the world and experience the various aspects of human life.

He tried to convince Mrs. Xing that Jia Cheng would not leave easily, but Mrs. Xing always refused to listen.

After one or two attempts of persuasion, Jia She lost his patience.

Instead of wasting time persuading Mrs. Xing, he might as well spend more time disciplining those distant relatives of the Jia family.

Ever since Jia Cheng said he wanted a girl from a good family to accompany him to study and play, Jia She selected many relatives who lived around Rongguo Mansion.

He specifically looked for children who were good-looking, had good character, were smart, and were strong, and brought them up by his side.

After a long period of careful selection, he barely picked out four children. It was true that the characters of those relatives in Rongguo Mansion were not very good. Jia She would not have known this if he had not checked, and he was shocked when he did.

When Jia She wanted to choose a study partner for his son, he discovered that the Rongguo Mansion was rotten to the core.

Not only are their direct descendants inhumane, even those remote branches are arrogant and domineering.

There are so many aristocratic families and princes in the capital, none of them would bully the common people, but the poor relatives of the Jia family dared to do so.

Jia She investigated what the Jia family had done, and found that their crimes were too numerous to list.

Jia She had never met those distant relatives, but these people often acted arrogantly and defrauded people under the banner of Rongguo Mansion.

Jia She felt chilled at the thought. If the mistakes made by these people were to be uncovered one day, he, the person in charge of Rongguo Mansion, would be the one to die.

Isn't he just taking the blame for others? It's really a misfortune for his family!

Look at what those people are doing? They take over lawsuits, commit murder and arson, take people's lives and abduct women, and frame other people's families in order to seize their good land.

If the landlords resisted, they would raise the banner of Rongguo Mansion. Jia She was so angry when he saw what he had investigated that his chest ached. Damn it, he had to bear all the blame but got nothing in return.

He vowed death to those relatives who did evil in his name.

Jia She did this not out of sympathy for the victims. He believed that the victims were victimized because they were too weak, and that in this world, big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps.

If you don't have enough strength but have something that others covet, of course you will be persecuted.

He wanted to deal with those bad people in the Jia family, not to support the good people, but because he did not get the due benefits from the bad people.

These people are so ignorant. They did bad things under his name, but he didn't get the proper compensation. Do they think that Master Jia is a kind-hearted person?

So Jia She, in the name of eliminating the family's corrupt officials, took the charges against Jia's relatives and tied them up.

Then he called the clan leader Jia Zhen and punished those who had done bad things. All their property was confiscated and he and Jia Zhen divided it into 70% and 30%.

As the patriarch of the Jia family, Jia Zhen was very willing to do this kind of thing as long as he could get paid for it.

He severely punished those members of the Jia family who had done wrong, and many men who were drained by alcohol and sex were beaten to death.

Jia She and Jia Zhen looked coldly at those who were punished, and no matter who came to plead for mercy, it was of no use.

Some relatives wanted to ask Grandmother Jia to persuade Jia She not to be so cruel to his relatives.

But ever since Jia Baoyu knocked her unconscious, Lady Jia has been in a coma for a long time every day, except when she was eating or going to the toilet.

After listening to the system's report on Lady Jia's situation, Jia Cheng sincerely expressed his guilt to the system and warned the system not to be so cruel in the future.

He pulled out Lady Jia's hair in one go, and he would feel guilty if it affected her life span.

Absorbing luck must be done slowly and steadily. If Jia's mother died, wouldn't her luck be gone? Where can he find another big fat sheep?

Lady Jia is the luckiest person he can meet now, and she cannot be killed.

The system was speechless to Jia Cheng, [Who told her to talk nonsense? I am passively absorbing luck. If you don’t want to absorb other people’s luck casually, then turn off the automatic absorption.]

Jia Cheng wouldn't close it. He was just being ungrateful and taking advantage of the situation. He didn't really care about Lady Jia.

The system looked at Jia Cheng in silence and chuckled. He had now figured out the true nature of this host and felt that he was not as honest and kind as he seemed.

Jia Cheng always does things unexpectedly.

He would occasionally pretend to be kind and honest in front of the system to maintain his own personality and make it easier to trick the system later.

But occasionally, when he looked at the rich luck value and thought about the props he could exchange for, Jia Cheng felt a little elated and he didn't want to pretend anymore.

Therefore, the system always thinks that Jia Cheng is a schizophrenic patient. He behaves differently every moment and is almost suffering from nervous breakdown.

But who made him tied to this guy? What can he do? He has to pamper him.

Anyway, Lady Jia is quite miserable, and the system sympathizes with her. She stays in bed every day and is almost suffering from a herniated disc. She really doesn't have the energy to deal with those who ask for help.

So these people came to Mrs. Wang for help.

But Mrs. Wang was exhausted because of Lady Jia's illness, so she handed over the household power to Mrs. Xing, and she herself became ill from anger.

Even though she was sick, she was strong-willed and would make time every day to communicate with Wang Xifeng.

She hopes to take control of the household by controlling Wang Xifeng.

In addition, Mrs. Wang also has to protect Jia Baoyu and deal with Jia Zheng's dissatisfaction with Jia Baoyu.

She was afraid that Jia Zheng would swallow Jia Baoyu because of his grandmother's illness.

With many things piling up, Mrs. Wang was in trouble everywhere and had no energy to deal with those poor relatives.

Mainly, she was also angry at those poor relatives who didn't share the benefits with her and came to her for help when they got into trouble. How could such a good thing happen?

As time went by, Grandmother Jia became worse and worse, and Jia Zheng became more and more irritable, and he was never kind to Lady Wang and her son.

Even though several imperial doctors were called in, they were unable to figure out what was wrong with Lady Jia.

Jia Cheng knew what was going on, after all, he was the culprit.

Grandmother Jia had lost too much luck, so she used sleep to replenish her luck, because sleep is very good for nourishing the spirit.

The longer she was unconscious, the faster she would recover.

But the others didn't know the truth, and they all suspected that Jia's grandmother was going to get into trouble because of Jia Baoyu.

Jia Zheng was so angry that he always went to find fault with Jia Baoyu. On the one hand, he felt sorry for his mother out of filial piety, and on the other hand, he was angry at Jia Baoyu's recklessness.

The second branch of the Jia family and Jia's grandmother were both unable to take care of themselves. The relatives of the Jia family wanted to come to them for help, but there was nowhere to turn to. So Jia She and Jia Zhen dealt with those people without any hindrance.

Jia Zhen felt no psychological burden when he saw his relative crashing into a wall and dying in front of him. He wasn't very familiar with those relatives anyway, and the gifts they sent him during the festivals didn't touch his heart. Since he had no feelings for them, he might as well kill them all.

After getting rid of the bad relatives who were sucking blood from the Rongguo Mansion, Jia She felt refreshed.

At the same time, it also nips many crises in the bud.

The Fourth Prince also heard about the latest news in the Jia Mansion through Su Peisheng.

This reminded him of the lively and clever child Jia Cheng. He had a good impression of Jia Cheng and always felt it was a pity that he was born in the Jia family.

Even though Jia She has taken some measures to clean up the family tradition, the Fourth Prince still feels disgusted and wonders what he was doing before.

The other princes also heard about the Jia family's affairs, but they did not take Jia She, the deposed crown prince's old minister, seriously. They just laughed it off and moved on.

Kangxi also heard about the commotion caused by Jia She, and he suddenly thought of Jia Daishan. If Jia Daishan were still alive, the Jia family would not have become what it is now.

Kangxi was not unaware of the wrongdoings done by the Jia family, but he thought they were trivial matters and he turned a blind eye to them.

After all, the Jia family was once a meritorious family, and Jia Daishan's mother was also his wet nurse. Because of this relationship, Kangxi didn't care about the minor mistakes made by Jia's relatives.

As long as it doesn't happen in front of him, he won't care.

The common people are like ants. Although he is the king and father of all the people, he does not have the time and energy to manage so many people.

Those common people who were harmed by Jia’s relatives can only be said to have bad luck and have to accept their fate.

Kangxi was deeply pleased with Jia She's awakening. After all, Jia She was also a child he had watched grow up.

At that time, the families that could send their children to study with the deposed crown prince were all Kangxi's most trusted confidants.

But with the fall of the crown prince, these families were implicated to varying degrees.

A family without any roots like the Jia family can only live their own lives behind closed doors to avoid being an eyesore.

Kangxi will not deal with the Jia family, but other families that have grudges against the Jia family will not let them go.

Without the emperor's protection, the Jia family, a family that originated from bondservants, would be like ants in the eyes of others.

Jia She pretended to be crazy and stupid and lived a life of drunkenness and dreams in his mansion. This was his attitude towards the royal family and showed his submission.

The Jia family would never dare to go against the emperor.

If he is so decadent, and other families still deal with him, they may even get sympathy from the royal family.

Jia Daishan was a very wise man. He set up a plan before his death, which could be regarded as a protection for the people in the Jia family.

He deliberately described the Jia family's situation as extremely serious after the deposed crown prince fell. This was the only way for the Jia family to retain its strength and develop rapidly in the absence of a successor.

Once the right opportunity is found, the glory of the Jia family can be restored.

However, Jia Daishan did not expect that his descendants were so useless. They all had extremely low political sensitivity and were extremely daring, which eventually led to the destruction of an entire family.

All his calculations came to nothing. If it weren't for Jia Cheng's arrival, the Jia family would have ended up in a mess.

Jia Cheng's arrival was like a butterfly wing, stirring up the entire "Dream of Red Mansions" and bringing about tremendous changes to the future of the Jia family.

Jia Cheng just wanted to select a few study companions with clean identities to make the Jia family come into the eyes of Kangxi again.

Now Kangxi has a better impression of Jia She, and because of Jia She, Kangxi recalls everything that happened between him and the prince.

At that time, the deposed prince was full of vigor and was the most outstanding of all Kangxi's sons. Jia She followed the prince around every day, eating and drinking for free. Although he had no ambition, he was not annoying.

With Jia She as a contrast, the deposed prince appears even more outstanding.

Kangxi sighed and recalled the past. The deposed crown prince was the only child left to him by Empress Hesheli. He was the inheritance of their bloodline and was naturally different from other princes.

In Kangxi's heart, Hesheli was like the white moonlight. The two were young couples who kept each other warm when Kangxi was not in power.

Feelings that have been tempered by suffering are naturally different.

It cannot be said that Empress Hesheli was perfect, it can only be said that she died at the best time.

After her death, all the mistakes disappeared and Kangxi could only recall the good things about the queen.

As for the son that the queen gave birth to with great effort, Kangxi naturally loved him as well.

When the deposed crown prince was a child, Kangxi treated him like a treasure and the difference in his treatment was very obvious.

However, the deposed crown prince was gradually growing older, and the strong and young crown prince posed a threat to Kangxi's throne, which put him in crisis.

That's why he deposed the crown prince.

In the face of imperial power, family ties do not seem to be that important.

But after so many years, Kangxi has grown old, and he seems to miss his past friendship with the queen and recall the father-son relationship between him and the prince.

Thinking of the last time he went to visit the prince where he was imprisoned and seeing the prince's gray hair and emaciated appearance, Kangxi felt distressed.

The deposed crown prince now looks about the same age as him. Seeing his son like this, Kangxi feels very distressed and all his grudges against the crown prince seem to have disappeared.

But he would not release the prince easily. Kangxi was old, and he was still afraid that this legitimate son would threaten his position.

He just wanted to give the prince a better life within his ability.

The deposed crown prince suddenly received a reward from Kangxi, and there were a few more servants in the courtyard, and everyone treated the deposed crown prince with caution.

The deposed prince had an illusion that he seemed to have turned back into the respected prince he used to be.

The thought flashed through his mind, and he lowered his head and smiled bitterly. After deposing the crown prince twice, he no longer believed in the emperor's feelings for him.

It turned out that he was too stupid, thinking that he was the emperor's son and he could do whatever he wanted.

But later he discovered that the Emperor was first the Emperor and then his father.

There is no family love in heaven.

It turned out that he was too naive, and it was the Emperor's caring attitude towards him that gave him the illusion.

After being deposed, the deposed prince discovered that his father was not Zhu Yuanzhang, and he was not Zhu Biao.

If Zhu Biao rebelled, Zhu Yuanzhang might tie himself up and send himself to Zhu Biao, and personally put on the yellow robe for him.

But what about himself? Even if he didn't rebel and had been conscientiously playing his role as the crown prince, he would still be suspected by the emperor.

This is the difference between emperors and people.

The deposed crown prince has become cold towards Kangxi. He will never be so foolish again and will not fall into Kangxi's family trap again.

When the deposed prince looked at the supplements sent by Kangxi, he felt that his father was hypocritical. The deposed prince felt so upset that he coughed up blood.

There was a sudden panic in the room.
