I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion

Chapter 70 Jinchuan is getting married

Jia She and Jia Cheng laughed and joked for quite a while before they stopped.

Then, Jia She's face turned serious, and he spoke in a low voice about another matter: "Your second aunt deliberately harmed you, and I really want her life to pay for it.

However, she gave birth to two children for your second uncle, and her family is from the Wang family. We don’t have solid evidence to prove that she wants to harm you, so we can’t punish her at all.”

Jia She became angrier as he spoke. He clenched his fists, frowned, and felt extremely indignant at what Mrs. Wang had done.

Although Wang Ziteng made many promises to him, Jia She still felt that these were far from enough to make Mrs. Wang receive the punishment she deserved.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of Jia Hu who had passed away for many years, and he felt more and more unwilling in his heart. Letting Wang Yarong go to the ancient Buddha with green lamps and recite scriptures and worship Buddha every day was really too easy for her.

However, Jia Cheng acted indifferent to this.

In his heart, Mrs. Wang was a bad person who was full of malice towards him, but he also understood that bad people sometimes have their uses.

This vicious woman cannot die for the time being, he wants to keep her and let her pay a more painful price for her crimes.

Jia Cheng, the poor victim, comforted Jia She instead: "Master, don't be angry, I'm fine.

Those who want to harm me will be punished sooner or later. Good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished, it's just that the time has not come yet." His tone was firm and calm, as if he had seen through the cycle of good and evil in the world.

Jia She thought of Jia Cheng's background and nodded in agreement, "Brother Cheng, you are a very lucky person. I don't think Wang Yarong will have a good ending. Even if we don't deal with her, she will be unlucky."

At this moment, Mrs. Wang was sitting alone in the room, looking pale and uneasy.

Her eyelids kept twitching, and she had a vague sense of foreboding, as if something was about to happen.

Although she gained the upper hand in the dispute with Jia She, angered him and left him, and won the verbal battle, she knew deep down that Jia She would never give up easily.

She originally wanted to send Zhou Rui's wife to the eldest house to inquire about the news, but just as she was about to open her mouth, her mind became dazed.

Only then did she suddenly realize that Zhou Ruijia was no longer there and had been brutally beaten to death by Jia She.

This cruel reality was like a heavy hammer, hitting Mrs. Wang's heart hard, making her feel unbearable pain. She was sad because she had lost face.

In desperation, she could only call over another nanny, Qian, who was rarely used, and asked her to go and keep an eye on the main room.

Although Nanny Qian is dull and not good at speaking, and is far inferior to the eloquent Mrs. Zhou Rui, she is the only one he can rely on at this moment.

"Yes, ma'am." Nanny Qian replied in a low voice, her expression revealing a hint of worry and loyalty.

Mrs. Wang looked at Nanny Qian's departing back, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.

When Mrs. Wang saw her honest appearance, she missed Zhou Ruijia even more.

Damn Jia She, he killed her confidant and forced her to train new people.

Mrs. Wang frowned, she was in an extremely low mood, and her eyes revealed an irritation that she could not conceal.

She looked around the room and was displeased with everyone's behavior. Even Jin Chuan, who was usually highly valued by her, was not spared. She found a reason and scolded her harshly many times.

Jin Chuan lowered her head and silently endured Mrs. Wang's anger.

Her heart was filled with sadness, like a wasteland ravaged by a cold wind. Following such a sweet-looking but bitter-hearted master, she had suffered a lot.

Normally, Mrs. Wang appears to be amiable and compassionate like a bodhisattva, but only her close servants know that Mrs. Wang’s heart is actually as dark as ink.

Now, with the passing of Zhou Ruijia, Jin Chuan has lost her middleman. She knows that without Zhou Ruijia's protection, she will probably have to suffer more hardships in the future.

When Jin Chuan thought of the long and dark future, her heart ached and she felt so uncomfortable that she could hardly breathe.

She made up her mind to marry someone far away, preferably someone from the village, away from this endless suffering.

At this moment, Zhou Rui came to pay a visit to Mrs. Wang with a serious and sad look on his face.

It was summer, and the heat was unbearable, so the bodies could not be stored for a long time.

Zhou Ruijia unfortunately passed away yesterday and her funeral was hastily held today.

As slaves, they didn't have to go through so many formalities. They just used a thin coffin and buried it simply somewhere.

Mrs. Wang sighed, her heart full of emotion. She asked Jin Chuan to give twenty taels of silver to Zhou Rui and told him to arrange the funeral well to comfort Zhou Rui's soul in heaven. This was considered the fulfillment of the relationship between master and servant over the years.

When Zhou Rui took the silver, he couldn't help but look at Jin Chuan.

His wife had left him, so he needed to marry again. And the person he hoped to marry again would be like Jin Chuan, who was gentle and considerate, and could serve the second wife.

Therefore, Zhou Rui's eyes were fixed on Jin Chuan. The girl was now eighteen years old and had reached the marriageable age, but Mrs. Wang had not allowed her to get married until now.

Zhou Rui was so angry that he could not help hinting to Mrs. Wang, "Madam, I feel so sad that Jinzhu is gone. I am busy outside every day doing things that the master and the madam have asked me to do. The children at home are still young and have no one to take care of them.

Please help me find a good wife, so I can serve you more wholeheartedly."

When Mrs. Wang heard what Zhou Rui said, she felt that it made sense. Zhou Rui was a steward that she needed to be around her, and she absolutely could not let anyone else win him over.

Since his companion Jinzhu has already passed away, he should arrange a marriage for Zhou Rui.

Mrs. Wang looked at Zhou Rui and found that his eyes were always on Jin Chuan, so she had an idea in her mind.

She thought about it carefully and realized that Jin Chuan was a maid she needed to use, and she had not yet decided who to marry her to.

If he married her to Zhou Rui, he would have another Zhou Rui by his side, and he wouldn't have to order those dull old women around.

Mrs. Wang thought this was the best of both worlds. As long as she married Jin Chuan to Zhou Rui, she would make Zhou Rui more loyal to her and she would also have a close friend by her side.

So she said: "You are right. I should find you a considerate and careful person to manage your household affairs.

Do you have a favorite candidate? If you like it, please tell me."

Zhou Rui kowtowed to Madam Wang and said, "In reply to Madam, as long as they are maids trained by you, they are the best. It is up to you to decide."

Although he said this, Zhou Rui's eyes were always fixed on Jin Chuan.

Mrs. Wang knew what he meant, so she followed suit, “Among the maids around me, my favorite is Jin Chuan.

This girl is eighteen years old this year and has always been my close friend. I haven’t decided who to marry her to.

You are a manager and have some potential, so I will marry Jin Chuan to you and you must treat her well.

If you treat her badly, I will not forgive you."

Zhou Rui got what he wanted and was so happy that he didn't know what to do. He grinned, showing his yellow teeth.

"Thank you for your help, Madam. I will definitely treat Jinchuan well."

Jin Chuan's nails dug deeply into her flesh. She actually wanted to say to Lady Wang, "I don't want to marry him. He is old enough to be my father."

She used to have a good relationship with Zhou Rui's family, so she naturally knew what kind of person Zhou Rui was.

Although Zhou Rui is a housekeeper who is highly valued by the Second Wife, he is a person of bad character. Not only is he lustful and always visits brothels, he also often makes friends with all kinds of people.

Zhou Rui's eldest daughter, Zhou Lanhua, is fifteen years old this year. With the grace of Lady Wang, she can marry on her own and does not have to marry a servant in the mansion.

Logically speaking, he should be found an ambitious scholar. With the relationship with the Rongguo Mansion, it would be possible for him to marry a scholar.

It just so happened that Zhou Rui was good friends with an antique dealer and wanted to marry his daughter to an older businessman just because the two had similar interests.

Before his death, Zhou Ruijia complained to Jin Chuan about this matter, but Zhou Rui was a man and he had the final say in the family.

A man who doesn't care about his daughter's happiness is not worthy of trust at all, especially since he is so old and ugly.

Jin Chuan has always been devoted to Lady Wang, and she only wants to marry a farm manager or a diligent and motivated servant when she is older, and live an ordinary life.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang married her to Zhou Rui. Zhou Rui had a high status in the second house, but he was not her ideal man.

Jin Chuan didn't want to get married, but under the tyranny of Lady Wang, she could only bow tremblingly to express her gratitude.

She knew that if she showed any reluctance, her good life would be in vain.

Jin Chuan could only endure and bury all her dissatisfaction deep in her heart. After all, Mrs. Wang was the master and she was the servant, so a servant had to accept her fate.

Zhou Rui's wife died, and Mrs. Wang assigned him a younger and prettier maid, which made many housekeepers envious.

I wish my ugly wife would die too.

Zhou Rui was also very proud in his heart. He thought that the master had done a good thing by giving him a new wife.

After Zhou Rui left, Mrs. Wang took Jin Chuan's hand and said kindly, "My dear girl, I will have someone prepare your dowry in a few days and marry you off in style.

After you marry Zhou Rui, you can come back to serve me. I am used to you, and I am not used to you leaving me."

Jin Chuan suppressed the sourness in her heart and showed a look of joy, "It is my blessing to be able to serve the Madam."

Mrs. Wang was satisfied to see her grateful look and said, "You can go back and rest first, and tell your parents about this happy event.

By the way, your sister is still a third-class maid in my courtyard, right? Promote her to second-class and replace your name. From now on, you will be the daughter of Zhou Ruijia. "

Jin Chuan appeared to be grateful and thanked on behalf of her sister, and couldn't help crying after returning home.

Outsiders only saw how glorious she was when she was with the Second Wife, but who could see that she was helpless?

From then on, the name Jinchuan belonged to her second sister, and she was Zhou Ruijia.

A slave who doesn't even deserve a name.
