I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion

Chapter 67: Madam Xing Shows Her Power

After Jia She left angrily, Rongqing Hall fell into silence. Without the quarrel between him and Mrs. Wang, the atmosphere in the room also eased.

Grandmother Jia looked at Mrs. Wang and felt a little annoyed.

She frowned slightly, rubbed her eyes, and said stiffly that she was tired, which was obviously a hint for Mrs. Wang to leave.

Mrs. Xing became particularly alert at this moment. She quickly stood up, walked to Lady Jia, and said with concern: "Old lady, your health has just improved. You need to rest more and not overwork."

She then turned her gaze to Madam Wang and said, "Second sister-in-law, why are you so ignorant? You knew that the old lady was finally cured by my brother Cheng, but you still went to Rongqing Hall to make the old lady angry.

You are crying so sadly for a companion, isn't this bringing bad luck to the old lady?

Over the years, people have been saying that you, the second wife of Rongguo Mansion, are the most filial, but what you are doing now is really hard to agree with. "

There was a gleam of pride in Mrs. Xing's eyes. She finally got the chance to talk about Mrs. Wang and show off her power as the eldest sister-in-law.

After hearing what Mrs. Xing said, Mrs. Wang's face turned very ugly. Her lips trembled and tears of grievance flashed in her eyes.

She looked to Lady Jia for help, wanting her to stand up for her. In the past, Mrs. Xing spoke bluntly and was not liked by Lady Jia.

If she said something wrong, without waiting for others to criticize Mrs. Xing, Grandmother Jia would definitely reprimand her, in order to suppress the arrogance of the first wife.

But now it’s different. Because of Jia Cheng, even if Mrs. Xing still speaks unpleasantly, Grandmother Jia turns a blind eye.

Grandmother Jia knew that she couldn't find too much fault with Mrs. Xing's words now. If she did, it would easily hurt the relationship between herself and Jia Cheng.

After all, Mrs. Xing is Cheng'er's mother. Which child would like to see his mother being criticized?

Even for Jia Cheng's face, Grandmother Jia had to protect Lady Xing, just as she had always favored Lady Wang for Jia Baoyu.

In the past, Grandmother Jia thought that Mrs. Xing came from a humble family, was uneducated, and her words were not pleasant to the ear.

Now it seems that he is outspoken and has a pure mind. Once people have double standards, their views will be different.

Grandmother Jia was still thinking in her heart that only someone with a simple mind like Mrs. Xing could raise a child as sincere as Jia Cheng.

People like Mrs. Wang, who are full of thoughts and twists and turns in their minds, will raise children who are also full of thoughts.

Fortunately, Jia Zhu, Yuanchun and Baoyu all grew up in her room, so these three children have good personalities.

In comparison, Jia Tanchun, who was only four years old, was raised in Lady Wang's room. The little girl was full of schemes and was used to reading people's faces.

When Grandmother Jia saw Mrs. Wang's aggrieved look, her heart was not moved at all. She was not a little girl anymore, and it was disgusting for an old woman to pretend to be weak.

In this awkward atmosphere, the maids dared not make a sound. Zhenzhu secretly glared at Madam Xing, dissatisfied with her for embarrassing Madam Wang.

Zhenzhu and Jinchuan, who lived in Lady Wang's room, had known each other since childhood, and she was also bribed by Lady Wang at an early age.

Mrs. Wang gave her a lot of rewards and single-handedly pushed her to become a top maidservant beside Lady Jia.

Originally, Mrs. Wang could have promoted both Pearl and Agate, but because Li Yuanyang's family was not a pushover, Li Yuanyang was promoted smoothly, and Agate was squeezed to the position of a second-class maid.

Now that Manju has been given to Jia Cheng, she will receive the salary of a first-class maid, which can be considered as what she wished for.

But Zhenzhu had already made up her mind to let her sister Agate keep a close eye on the first wife's side and report to the second wife's side at any time.

Their family had already chosen their master long ago and were completely loyal to Madam Wang, so they couldn't change their mind at will.

Zhenzhu thought that maybe it was a good thing for Manou to be with Jia Cheng. If she could bring Jia Cheng to the second house and make him close to the second house, just like Jia Lian in the past, this would also be a great achievement.

As the maid Zhenzhu watched her master being humiliated, she had already thought about her revenge.

The insults against Mrs. Wang continued. Mrs. Wang felt aggrieved and asked for help from Lady Jia but was ignored. Mrs. Xing took the opportunity to accuse Mrs. Wang even more harshly.

Mrs. Wang was so angry that her chest rose and fell violently. She could no longer maintain that kind face and could not help but retort: ​​"Sister-in-law, if the master had not gone to beat my maid to death for no reason, why would I come to the old lady to seek justice?

Zhou Ruijia was devoted to her master, but when she made a minor mistake, the master rushed to her house and beat her to death.

We in the Rongguo Mansion have always been kind and lenient to our servants. How could we be selling people off or beating them to death every day?

Nowadays, it is said that there is a master in Rongguo Mansion who is the reincarnation of the King of Hell, and he vents his anger by beating and killing his servants.

Our reputation is ruined, how will our children get married in the future? I did this all for the sake of my family, but I didn't expect my sister-in-law to treat me like this!

I came to the old lady to ask for advice for the sake of my family's reputation. How can this be considered unfilial?"

Mrs. Wang would never bear the reputation of being unfilial, otherwise if the news got out, how would her children face others in the future.

Yuanchun was very lucky. A girl born on the first day of the Lunar New Year has a precious destiny and will become an empress in the future. If she had a mother who was unfilial to her mother-in-law, Yuanchun's reputation would be ruined.

Mrs. Wang hated Mrs. Xing's foul mouth, but Mrs. Xing certainly would not let Mrs. Wang slander her, so she opened her mouth to refute.

"Why did the master sell out those servants? Don't you know that others don't know? If you weren't a good steward, would you have let those treacherous servants harm their master?

I don't know how the news spread outside, but servants are servants and slaves are slaves. Can't they be punished if they do something wrong?

They sold themselves to Rongguo Mansion to serve their masters, not to enjoy themselves. Do you really not know what they are talking about?"

Mrs. Wang pointed at Mrs. Xing and wanted to slap her in the face, this shrewish woman.

Madam Xing took advantage of the situation and continued, “Everyone outside knows that our eldest master is the most soft-hearted and filial.

And my son Cheng taught himself medicine and treated my grandmother so that she could recover. His filial piety is so moving that it can move heaven and earth.

"Second Madam, you can't just say nonsense because of jealousy. If you keep saying nonsense, who will believe what you say in the future?"

Jia Cheng nestled in Grandmother Jia's arms and watched his mother defeat Lady Wang step by step. He felt very relieved.

The suffering he endured could not be in vain. Mrs. Wang was just so angry that she couldn't speak, but that was not the end of it.

She will suffer more in the future.

It would be interesting if one day Mrs. Wang was deserted by her friends and relatives, and her brother who was her backer, her husband, and her son were all close to the enemy and all betrayed her emotionally.

Jia Cheng was dissatisfied with Mrs. Wang who wanted to kill him, but he would not kill her directly. He wanted to destroy the person's heart and let her suffer while alive, which would be fun.

After Jia Cheng was reincarnated as a child, his mentality became much more childish and he always thought about playing.

But he plays differently from others. Other children play with toys, but he likes to play with people's hearts and their destinies.

The system looked at Jia Cheng's evil smile and popped its head out, "Brother Cheng, your mother's fighting ability is pretty good now. She has changed a lot. Why is that?"

Jia Cheng ignored the system. He certainly knew why Mrs. Xing had changed so much.

Because Mrs. Xing and her husband are loving and her son is promising, she is confident and not afraid of Mrs. Wang at all.

She was no longer as humble as she had been before. In the past, she would feel insecure whenever she met Lady Wang, fearing that she would be scolded by Lady Jia.

Now she is fearless. She knows that as long as she has her treasure Jia Cheng, she will be invincible.

Seeing his mother's powerful look, Jia Cheng smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Mrs. Xing held her head high, like a general who had won a battle.

At this moment, Mrs. Xing was no longer the gloomy and awkward person she used to be, and she suddenly became lively.

Grandmother Jia was annoyed by what she heard, and patted the table lightly, "Alright, alright, the first and second wives are all filial. If you were not filial, would an old woman like me still be alive today? You are really too filial."

Jia Cheng covered his mouth and laughed secretly, always feeling that there was something sarcastic in what Lady Jia said.

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing looked embarrassed and kept silent. Then Mrs. Xing looked at the sun outside, found an excuse and slipped away.

"Old lady, the housekeeper is busy and I have to check the accounts, so I won't disturb you here. My second brother's wife has nothing to do, so let her stay with you." After saying that, Mrs. Xing was about to take Jia Cheng away.

Before leaving, Mrs. Xing tried to provoke Mrs. Wang, which made Mrs. Wang's face even uglier.

Her housekeeping rights!

Grandmother Jia hugged Jia Cheng tightly and said, "You go and do your own thing. Brother Cheng, stay and keep me company." Jia Cheng falling into the water yesterday frightened Grandmother Jia, and today she would not let Jia Cheng leave her sight no matter what.

Mrs. Xing was somewhat reluctant, but she did not dare to disobey Lady Jia, so she could only leave in disappointment.

Grandmother Jia hugged Jia Cheng and talked affectionately, ignoring Lady Wang who was sitting beside her.

Mrs. Wang felt a little embarrassed, so she also found an excuse to leave.

Without even raising her eyelids, Grandmother Jia waved her hand and sent Mrs. Wang away as if she were a servant.

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she felt dizzy. After returning to Mingli Hall, she covered her head and said she had a headache.

At this moment, at Wang Ziteng's home.

Wang Ziteng looked at the rogue Jia She with a headache on his face, and he felt sympathy for Mrs. Wang.

Wang Ziteng was supposed to meet guests at home today. He made an appointment to meet a high-ranking monk and wanted to ask him about the appearance of the auspicious Qilin and how to catch this auspicious sign that came and went without a trace.

Before he and the monk could come to an agreement, Jia She came knocking on the door with a group of tall and strong servants.

The servants in the palace knew Jia She, and seeing how aggressive he looked, they didn't dare to stop him.

The housekeeper hurried to report to Wang Ziteng, saying that the eldest master of the Jia Mansion had arrived, but he looked ill-intentioned.

Wang Ziteng quickly asked the monk to rest in the study while he went to meet Jia She.

Jia She was furious and started cursing Wang Ziteng as soon as he saw him, completely disregarding any mercy and taking the initiative.

"Wang Ziteng, you must give me an explanation today! Your vicious sister actually tried to kill my son!

If your sister is not willing to sacrifice her life, I will expose the ugly deeds of your Wang family to the world. I want to see whether your daughter can still get married!

Wang Yarong was so vicious! She first assigned the traitorous slave to my son in an attempt to kill him.

That’s not enough. Yesterday she even ordered her maidservant, Jia Baoyu’s attendant, to drown my son to death!

How did your Wang family raise your daughters? Did you raise all of them to be such vicious women?

In this case, I will let my second brother divorce her, and your Wang family can take her back to prevent her from harming others any further!"

Jia She's eyes were filled with anger, and his fists were clenched, as if he was ready to swing at Wang Ziteng at any time.

Wang Ziteng was shocked. He obviously had not expected Jia She to be so excited, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

Jia She continued to scold: "We Jia family have never treated your sister badly, but a second wife has been in charge of Rongguo Mansion, I don't care about this.

I didn't expect that this would make her so cruel that she would use her position as housekeeper to treat my son like this!

I won't say anything about the public property she embezzled, but now she is not only trying to get money but also trying to kill people, I will never let her go!"

Wang Ziteng's face turned very ugly. He tried to explain, but Jia She didn't give him any chance.

There was no way Jia She would give Wang Ziteng a chance to interrupt. He had to first stand on the moral high ground to confuse Wang Ziteng, and then seek benefits for his brother Cheng.

It’s a pity that Cheng’er is still too young, otherwise I would have given him a fifth-rank official position no matter what.

Jia She thought that if a fool like Jia Zheng could become a fifth-rank official, wouldn’t his son be smarter than Jia Zheng?

Jia She's original idea was to secure a future for his silly eldest son, but he was so happy scolding Wang Ziteng that he forgot about Jia Lian, and his heart and eyes were full of his good son Jia Cheng.

Jia Lian: ...Jealous!
