I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion
Chapter 8 Baoyu's Injury Incident
Soon Jia She's courtyard became lively. Mrs. Wang came to Jia She's courtyard with a group of maids. When she came in, she couldn't help but tear up.
"Baoyu, your face." Mrs. Wang looked worriedly at Jia Baoyu, who was lying on the bed with half of his face swollen.
She blamed Jia She and Lady Xing for not taking good care of her, and wondered if the eldest wife did it on purpose.
Her Baoyu had never had any bumps or scratches since he was born, but he got such a serious injury after just playing with Jia She for a while. It felt like it was caused by someone.
Mrs. Wang did not say it explicitly, but her actions showed her distrust of the first wife.
Of course, the person she hated the most was Jia Cheng. If he hadn't brought Baoyu here to play, how could Baoyu have been injured?
Mrs. Wang was filled with resentment, and an unhappy expression was clearly visible on her face. Logically speaking, a lady of Mrs. Wang's rank would not show her emotions.
But she just wanted to show her bad temper to the three members of the first wife's family, because it was her Baoyu who was injured.
Jia She felt dissatisfied when he saw Mrs. Wang's ugly face, and felt that his brother's wife was too presumptuous.
Although he does not live in the main courtyard now, he is also the head of the Rongguo Mansion and a first-rank general. Why should Wang Fu-ren, the sister-in-law who has usurped the throne, be dissatisfied with him?
Mrs. Xing even rolled her eyes at Mrs. Wang, disliking her condescending and domineering attitude.
The adults in the room all looked unhappy. Jia Cheng bit his lip, lowered his head guiltily, and took the initiative to apologize to Mrs. Wang.
"Second Aunt, I'm sorry. It's my fault that I didn't take good care of Brother Baoyu and caused him to get hurt. Please punish me. I would rather get hurt in place of Brother Baoyu."
Jia Cheng was about to cry, his thin body trembling, and he looked very scared and guilty. His voice also made Jia She feel even more pity for his son.
Jia Cheng began to act like a guilty younger brother in his heart, wishing he could suffer for Jia Baoyu to make up for his mistake.
At the same time, Jia Cheng kept stealing glances at Mrs. Wang, whose face was full of color, and looked like a punching bag.
Mrs. Wang said a few perfunctory words to Jia Cheng with a fake smile, saying that it was not his problem, but her attitude was very impatient.
Jia She was so angry that he wanted to kick Mrs. Wang out of his yard.
Why is she so arrogant?
Then Jia Cheng's inner voice continued to flow into Jia She and Mrs. Xing's ears, making him look innocent and pitiful.
Jia She and Mrs. Xing almost hated Mrs. Wang and Jia Baoyu to death. Jia Baoyu was a jinx who made their own children sad.
Jia She felt that his son was too kind. Jia Baoyu was injured because the servants did not take good care of him, and it had nothing to do with Guan Cheng'er.
If Jia Baoyu was stung by a wasp, then he should go find the wasp. What did his son do wrong?
Everybody was playing in the garden, so why did the wasp sting Jia Baoyu instead of Cheng Ge'er?
Isn’t it because Brother Cheng is a deity who has descended to the earth and is protected by divine energy? How can Jia Baoyu, a mortal, compare with his son?
Jia She didn't want to see his son feeling guilty and sad in front of Mrs. Wang, so he quickly picked him up and comforted him softly.
"Brother Cheng, this is not your fault. There are so many servants around Baoyu who can't take good care of him. What can a little kid like you do?
If you ask me, those people who followed Baoyu should be dragged out and beaten with sticks. Seven or eight people together can't even watch over a child. What's the point of having them?"
Jia She glanced fiercely at Zhou Rui's wife and the second-class maids.
Everyone felt a chill on their backs and fell to their knees in fear.
A second-class maid who looked very young was so frightened by Jia She's fierce look that she started crying.
Jia She became even more impatient when he heard the crying, and directly ordered Lin Zhixiao, "Take out all the maids, old women, and servants who follow Baoyu and play with him in the garden and beat them with sticks. They can't even look down on their masters, how can they be servants?"
Jia She had been hiding his incompetence for many years, but now for the sake of his son he showed his dominance, straightened his back, looked very imposing, and scared everyone.
Mrs. Zhou Rui was also afraid. Not only was she afraid of being beaten with a stick, she was also afraid of being scolded by Mrs. Wang.
Jia Cheng looked at the servants who were kneeling on the ground begging for mercy. He didn't want innocent people to be punished, so he pleaded for them.
It's not that he is kind, but he doesn't want to make enemies. Their family in the first house is not well-liked. If he beats up the people in Baoyu's room, they might turn the tables on him one day.
Jia Cheng does not have absolute strength yet, and he is afraid that one day he will be pushed into the lake and drowned, just like his elder brother Jia Hu.
So he quickly said, "Dad, please don't punish them, okay? This is all my fault. I shouldn't have been playing in the garden with Brother Baoyu all the time. If we had gone into the house, he wouldn't have been hurt."
Jia She patted Jia Cheng's head and said, "Silly child, I really don't blame you, don't blame yourself.
You are a good kid in every way, except that you are too kind-hearted. So for your sake, I will not punish these people."
When everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief and were very grateful to have avoided a beating.
At the same time, these people's favorability towards Jia Cheng also increased sharply. Only Zhou Rui's family's favorability towards Jia Cheng remained unchanged, and she was not bought by Jia Cheng's small favors.
Mrs. Wang noticed the moved looks on everyone's faces when they looked at Jia Cheng, and immediately frowned.
These people are Baoyu's servants. What are they thanking Jia Cheng for now? Where should they put her Baoyu?
Mrs. Wang snorted softly, turned her head and looked at Jia Baoyu with pity, asking him with concern if he felt any pain, and whether he felt any other discomfort besides the place where he was stung by the wasp.
Baoyu groaned. He had just been frightened by such a huge hornet and was still in shock, looking dazed.
Mrs. Wang was so distressed that she almost cried. She was furious at the useless servants, "You follow Baoyu but can't take good care of him. What use do I have for you? It's better to sell you off as soon as possible."
As soon as Mrs. Wang finished speaking, the servants around Baoyu knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, crying and shouting.
Jia She was annoyed by these people's noise, and Jia Cheng was also a little impatient.
He felt that the rules of the Jia family were too lax and that the servants were too willful in doing whatever they wanted.
Crying is a taboo in every family, no matter if it is a commoner's family or a royal or noble family, how could so many people cry together?
If you don’t know, you might think there’s a funeral at home. How unlucky.
Jia Cheng looked at these people's unpresentable appearance, and with tears in his eyes, he pleaded with Mrs. Wang pitifully and innocently, "Second Aunt, don't blame them. They didn't mean to do it. The wasp flew too fast and no one could react."
Mrs. Wang said with a cold face, "Brother Cheng is kind-hearted." This made Mrs. Wang's words sound a little sarcastic.
Mrs. Wang stared at the servants kneeling on the ground seriously and said, "Since you have been doing your best when you were with Baoyu, I will keep you here as a blessing for Baoyu."
Everyone immediately knelt down and kowtowed to thank Jia Baoyu. Jia Cheng looked at Mrs. Wang with a flickering look in his eyes.
Mrs. Wang really doesn't give him the chance to win people's hearts. She is so petty.
Jia Cheng rolled his eyes and continued to pretend to take the responsibility for Jia Baoyu's injury on himself.
Jia She snorted coldly, "Why should I blame you for this? It's not like you bit Baoyu.
Besides, he wanted to come here to play with you, so you can’t be blamed. Brother Cheng, please don’t feel guilty.”
When Jia's mother walked into the room, she heard Jia She say these words and immediately angrily scolded him, "What are you talking about? Baoyu called you uncle, and he was injured by you, and you actually blamed him. What does he, a child, know?"
Grandmother Jia glared at Jia She, then looked at Jia Cheng with red eyes, and her favorable impression of him began to plummet.
Jia Baoyu is Grandmother Jia's treasure, no one can compare to him. Grandmother Jia regards Jia Baoyu as the future of the Jia family, and she believes that the family's prosperity depends on Jia Baoyu.
Although Jia Cheng looks smart and cute, his future is worrying with a father like Jia She.
The system noticed that Lady Jia's favorability was dropping rapidly, and immediately took pleasure in her misfortune, "My dear son, your cheap grandmother doesn't like you anymore. She doesn't want you anymore.
It seems that Jia Baoyu is more important than you. After all, he is the hero in A Dream of Red Mansions, and he is the most beloved person in the world. You can't compare to him."
Jia Cheng was speechless about the system. He angrily lowered his favorability towards everyone in the room, and then unscrupulously argued with the system in his heart.
[Who are you in the same group with? You don't want good fortune anymore, do you? If you hadn't been trying hard to fleece Jia Baoyu, would you have made him bald and brought him misfortune?
You won't change someone else, and now the old lady's favorability towards me has decreased, and it's all because of you. ]
Jia Cheng was very dissatisfied. He lay in Jia She's arms with a wronged look on his face, and continued to curse the system in his heart.
[System, I am taking the blame for you now, but you are still laughing at me in your heart. Can’t you tell the difference between good and bad?
How did a system like you with low EQ survive until now? Haven’t you been killed by your host?
The lower the old lady's favorability towards me, the slower I absorb luck from her. This is not good for you either. What are you laughing at? Are you stupid? ]
The system's laughter suddenly stopped. He felt that Jia Cheng was right.
He and Jia Cheng would prosper and suffer together. He just wanted to tease Jia Cheng just now, but now he was not in the mood.
Moreover, Jia Cheng also touched the sore spot of the system. It was because he was a weird person that he was disliked by the previous host and then bound to Jia Cheng.
The reason for the lack of energy is because it was backstabbed by the previous host. Thinking of this, the system became unhappy and stopped talking immediately.
Even when the progress bar of the system mall was loaded to 100%, he did not notice it.
The system went to the side silently and looked sad. Jia Cheng smiled smugly. What a joke! He couldn't even argue with a system.
Jia Cheng shut down the system with words, and then he happily began to watch the show, watching Jia She desperately offend Lady Jia, and watching Lady Wang and Lady Jia work together to deal with Jia She.
In the end, the farce of Jia Baoyu being injured ended when Jia She gave Jia Baoyu an apology.
Jia Cheng complained in his heart that Grandmother Jia was partial to him. Although they were both grandchildren, Grandmother Jia's favorability towards him was terrible, but she treated Jia Baoyu like a treasure.
This aroused Jia Cheng's spirit of challenge. He was determined to make Lady Jia look at him with new eyes. In the future, his position in Lady Jia's heart must surpass that of Jia Baoyu.
Jia Cheng set a small goal and suddenly became full of fighting spirit.
