I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion

Chapter 71: Madam Wang Enters the Buddhist Temple

Mrs. Wang was overjoyed because she had successfully kept Jin Chuan by her side and further won Zhou Rui's loyalty.

This loan sharking job still requires the help of Zhou Rui and his wife.

However, her joy did not last long. When she saw her sister-in-law Zheng coming to her house with a cold face, her heart sank.

When Mrs. Wang saw Zheng’s gloomy face, she knew something was wrong.

She hurried forward, forced a smile on her face, and said, "Sister-in-law, how come you have time to come here?

No wonder the magpies outside are chirping, it turns out there are distinguished guests coming." There was a hint of nervousness in her voice, trying to ease the tense atmosphere with a relaxed tone.

Zheng still had a cold face. She sat down and shouted to the servants in the room, "All of you get out. I have something important to tell your wife."

The maids and servants in the room lowered their heads and then quietly retreated.

Only the aunt and the sister-in-law were left in the room. Zheng went straight to the point and said bluntly: "You have been in charge of Rongguo Mansion for so long, how much have you embezzled? Tell me everything and send it to Jia She." Her tone was stern and her eyes were sharp, as if she could penetrate Mrs. Wang's heart.

Mrs. Wang's face turned pale in an instant. She widened her eyes and looked at Zheng in disbelief.

Her lips trembled slightly, and an expression of grievance and helplessness appeared on her face. She couldn't help but tears welled up in her eyes.

She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and said softly: "Sister-in-law, there must be a misunderstanding..."

Zheng interrupted her, "Misunderstanding? I think you are pretending to be confused even though you know the truth! Jia She has even come to your door.

If your brother hadn't helped you, do you think you could still be the second wife of Rongguo Mansion?" Her voice became sharper and more angry.

Zheng was really fed up with this troublesome sister-in-law. She married close to her parents' home, but always came to bother her parents' family whenever there was something wrong.

The Wang family didn't get any benefits at all, and they just had to clean up her mess every day.

Zheng had long known that Wang Yarong was a scheming person, so she had never liked this younger sister-in-law. In comparison, the silly older sister-in-law was easier to get along with.

My eldest sister-in-law married far away in Jinling. She sent generous gifts to the Wang family on the three festivals and two birthdays every year, and never troubled the Wang family for anything.

Of course, Zheng liked Wang Yafu, who had more money and less trouble.

Zheng was unwilling to save face for Madam Wang, so she said directly in a sarcastic tone: "Sister-in-law, you should quickly spit out the money you swallowed. It is not safe to hold it if it is not yours.

Do you know how many favors your second brother has to pay for your case? He is already tired enough every day, please let him go. "

Mrs. Wang argued feebly, "Sister-in-law, I really didn't... Everything I did was for the Jia family... How could Jia She falsely accuse me?"

Mrs. Wang's eyes widened and she continued to argue, "Sister-in-law, I didn't embezzle the public property. I was a diligent housekeeper.

Jia She can't bear to see me doing well, so he said that nonsense.

How can you trust an outsider and not your own sister? If others knew about this, how would I live? "

Mrs. Wang covered her face with a handkerchief, as if she was hurt. In fact, she knew what she had done.

Mrs. Wang refused to admit it, while Zheng was furious and had obviously lost her patience. "Wang Yarong, stop playing tricks on me! Jia She went to find your second brother with solid evidence. If it wasn't for this, how could we believe it so easily?" Zheng's tone was full of anger and disappointment.

She went on to say: "In addition to this incident, you also allowed your reckless concubine to murder someone else's legitimate son!

Fortunately, Jia Cheng is safe and sound, otherwise how could Jia She let you go so easily? "Zheng felt that this sister-in-law was really bold and reckless. She dared to kill people at will. Did she think everyone else was a fool?

Everyone knows that Jia She dotes on Jia Cheng, but Mrs. Wang has touched someone's sweetheart. How can Jia She not be anxious?

If it weren't for Mrs. Wang's stupid move, Jia She might not have cared about her corruption.

Wang Yarong brought this upon herself and sought death. She deserved it, Zheng thought angrily.

Mrs. Wang’s face turned pale instantly, and her eyes were filled with fear. Was she discovered?

The person who did it is dead, and Zhou Rui's wife who planned it is also gone. Now there is no evidence. She doesn't understand why Jia She is so sure that it was her who did it.

Mrs. Wang struggled excitedly, her voice trembling and aggrieved, "Sister-in-law, you must believe me! I really didn't do such a thing.

Cheng'er falling into the water was really just an accident! Jia She didn't have any evidence, how could he wrongly accuse me like this..."

Zheng's face became very serious, her eyes revealed disappointment and anger, and she interrupted Mrs. Wang in a harsh voice, "Enough! Whether it was an accident or you did it on purpose, you know it best in your heart!

Jia She doesn't need any evidence, the facts are already very clear." She turned away, not wanting to look at Mrs. Wang's ugly face again.

Zheng took a deep breath and continued, “I don’t know how much thought your second brother has put into your affairs.

Not only did he promise Jia Lian a sixth-rank official position, he also helped Jia Cheng find a famous teacher, Zhu Shi.

He ran around everywhere, working tirelessly to find connections, all for you, Wang Yarong! This is the last time, you take care of yourself. "

At this point, Zheng's voice became a little lower, "If it weren't for the reputation of the entire Wang family's women, if it weren't for Xixuan's critical moment, our Wang family would not care about you anymore. Think about it carefully!" There was a hint of helplessness and fatigue in her eyes.

After saying that, Zheng turned and left, leaving Mrs. Wang alone there, her face full of despair and helplessness.

She was filled with fear that her parents would no longer care about her.

She knew very well how she would survive in the Jia family if her second brother no longer supported her.

At this moment, her mood was like a candle in the wind, about to collapse.

Jia Cheng happened to see Mrs. Wang's miserable appearance.

The magical effect of the system props is amazing. If a favorite concubine has a spying talisman, she can be said to be invincible and omnipotent.

After Zheng left, Nanny Wang, who she brought with her, walked in with a stern face and said in a serious tone: "Second Miss, the master originally planned to let you go to the family temple to reflect, but considering the reputation of the Jia and Wang families, you only need to pray for your family in your own Buddhist temple.

Unless you have something important to do, please do not go out. I will go and explain to the old lady of the Jia Mansion. The master hopes that you can calm down, eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures. When you figure it out, you can come out naturally. "

Before Mrs. Wang could come to her senses, Nanny Wang grabbed her arm tightly and dragged her towards the small Buddhist hall.

Nanny Wang threw a basket of beans on the ground and said coldly, "Second Miss, let's start by picking Buddha beans today. After picking them, you still need to copy the scriptures.

The master has arranged homework for you every day. If you don’t finish it, you can’t go back to your room to rest.”

Nanny Wang dared to treat Madam Wang like this because she was special to Wang Ziteng. She was the biological daughter of Wang Ziteng's wet nurse.

Wang Ziteng treated Nanny Wang as his younger sister, but this sister had a miserable life. She married poorly and her husband died young, so in the end she had to return to Wang Ziteng to serve him.

The reason why Nanny Wang was sent to discipline Madam Wang is because Nanny Wang is not afraid of Wang Yarong at all and knows how to deal with her.

Madam Wang was stunned and couldn't come back to her senses. Nanny Wang urged her coldly, "Second Miss, you have a lot of homework today. If you can't finish it, just keep doing it until I am satisfied. I have time to spend with you."

Mrs. Wang finally came to her senses, and then she yelled at Nanny Wang, "Wang Taohua, who do you think you are? I don't want to enter the Buddhist temple."

"I am nothing, but this is the master's order. You must eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures in the temple, and leave only when the master is satisfied.

You don't have to listen to the master. I will tell the master the truth, but I don't know if Miss Yuanchun in the palace will be implicated by you." Nanny Wang threatened Madam Wang with a smug look on her face.

This time, Mrs. Wang was so angry that she cried. She didn't understand why her second brother could treat her like this. She didn't really like to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures, so why did he make her stay in the Buddhist temple every day?

Jia She, it’s all Jia She’s fault.

A strong hatred suddenly burst out in Mrs. Wang's eyes. She had never expected that Jia She was so smart this time and guessed her plan to harm Jia Cheng at once.

The thought of having to fill the hole in the public school made her heart ache as if it were being stabbed by a needle.

Moreover, Jia Lian could become a sixth-rank official, which made her feel full of resentment, as Jia Zheng was only a fifth-rank official.

What made her particularly angry was that the little brat Jia Cheng actually had the opportunity to study under a famous teacher, which made Mrs. Wang feel very unwilling.

"Wang Taohua, go tell my second brother that I can be a vegetarian and chant Buddhist scriptures honestly, and return the silver I took away before, but Baoyu must also become his disciple, and he must be more valued than Jia Cheng." There was a hint of determination in Mrs. Wang's voice.

Nanny Wang sneered, with a trace of disdain on her face: "Who is negotiating with you? You either enter the temple or get divorced and go home. You enter the temple to save yourself.

As for the matter of becoming a disciple, I will tell the master, but whether it will be successful in the end depends on Master Baoyu's own luck." Her tone was cold and firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

The door of the small Buddhist hall was slammed shut by Nanny Wang, and Mrs. Wang knelt down in compromise and began to pick up Buddhist beans.

She lost this time because she was too impatient. Next time, she must not lose.

For the sake of Yuanchun and Baoyu, Mrs. Wang silently endured the hardship in the Buddhist temple. Once her second brother had calmed down, she would come back to fight again.

By then, Jia Cheng, that little bastard, would surely be dead.

Mrs. Wang believed that Jia Cheng had defeated the second wife and taken away her fortune.
