Chapter 239: Red Mansion Lady Xing 59

When Jia She saw his mother's remains, he looked sad but not too sorrowful. He thought of all the injustices his mother had done to his family in the past, and he felt relieved.

Xing Yuling stood aside and advised softly, "The dead are gone, Master, don't be too sad." Jia She nodded slightly, "Madam is right, this mansion will still depend on you in the future."

The funeral was held in a grand and solemn manner according to the etiquette of the wife of a super-class duke. The whole scene was solemn and dignified, with mourning music playing in the background. The mourners wore plain clothes and had sad faces. However, Jia Zheng's face was as gloomy as water. His face, which was originally serious, was even more gloomy at this moment, as if water could drip out of it. Mrs. Wang returned to Rongguo Mansion with her family, and her face was full of calculations, which was about to collapse.

After the funeral, Jia Zheng hurriedly left the crowd and found his brother. The two found a secluded place and sat opposite each other. Jia Zheng couldn't wait to ask, "Brother, how do you think about dividing our mother's private property?" He stared into his brother's eyes, trying to see a clue from his expression.

"Mother's private property is all in Rongqing Hall, take what you want." Jia She looked down on those things, except for some public property that he had taken back long ago. Jia's mother had been married to Rongguo Mansion for so many years, and her original dowry could only be said to be an ordinary dowry for a legitimate daughter. After all these years of plundering, it was also a huge fortune. The extra property had been taken away, and Jia She turned around and gave it to his wife. After Xing Yuling received the things, she turned around and threw them into the space.

"Thank you very much, brother." Upon hearing this, Jia Zheng happily ran to Rongqing Hall to check.

Jia She rolled his eyes, curled his lips and turned to look for his wife.

Jia Lian and his wife tried hard to control the corners of their mouths, put on a sad face, and greeted the relatives and friends who came and went. They were thinking about the private property left by Jia's mother, but they didn't know that this private property had been intercepted by someone.

Mrs. Wang took Xue Baochai to socialize with relatives from various mansions in an attempt to build up relationships, but was repeatedly frustrated.

I was so angry that I blamed the old man for dying at the wrong time.

He was originally quite anxious about choosing a wife for his son. The legitimate daughter of a second-rank minister who he had originally chosen was scolded by the lady of that family, who said that Jia Baoyu was a commoner and yet he wanted to marry the legitimate daughter of an important official in the court, which was like a toad wanting to eat swan flesh.

Wang was scolded so badly that she couldn't even lift her head. Her face was thrown to the ground and trampled on by everyone. After returning home, Jia Zheng made indirect accusations against her, and she was so angry that she fainted.

Later, her niece betrayed her. She had originally planned to choose a capable wife for Baoyu and take her niece as his equal wife, but all this was ruined. Although Aunt Xue had the upper hand over her, she could only swallow her anger and recognize Xue Baochai.

Wang vented her anger on Xue Baochai, and the whole courtyard was in chaos. However, Jia Baoyu was like nothing had happened, and continued to recite poems and paint with the sisters in the garden.

Now, Wang wanted to obtain the private property left by Jia's mother to fill the financial deficit of the mansion. But she didn't know that Jia's mother's private property was only half.

As for Xue Baochai, she just silently endured Mrs. Wang's anger. She knew that her current situation in the Jia government was difficult, and she could only stand firm by holding on to Jia Baoyu. But Jia Baoyu's mind was not on her at all.

After a busy period, Jia Lian and his wife found that the private property was missing after they finished handling Jia's grandmother's funeral. They finally learned that Jia Zheng had taken most of it. Jia Lian was secretly resentful and decided to find an opportunity to take revenge.

Wang Xifeng's eyes turned and she came up with a plan. She secretly found Mingyan, a servant beside Baoyu, and promised him benefits, so that he would spread the reputation that Jia Baoyu was uneducated and only loved to hang out with women.

Before long, the rumor spread like wildfire. Those who had previously tried to flatter and curry favor with Baoyu backed off. When Mrs. Wang learned about this, she was so angry that she trembled all over, and she was sure that someone had deliberately framed Baoyu. She sent people to investigate the rumor, but when Jia Zheng learned about it, he scolded Mrs. Wang for not being able to discipline her son. Now that the rumor had spread all over the city, the family conflict became more intense.

No one dared to commit a crime in the East Mansion because Xing Yuling was watching over him. In the West Mansion, Jia Zhen was stubborn and self-willed, and he was addicted to women. He indulged in prostitution all day long, and his son Jia Rong was also a nobody. After Qin Keqing's death, his second wife did not dare to restrain him much, and the West Mansion became chaotic. Finally, Jia Zhen was impeached and brought to the emperor for his excessive debauchery and rampant behavior in the capital. Shui Hong, considering the relationship with Rongguo Mansion, issued an order to deprive Jia Zhen of his official position, confiscate his property, remove the plaque of Ningguo Mansion that violated the rules, and ordered him to reflect on himself behind closed doors. His humble title was also inherited by Jia Rong.

East Court

Xing Yuling's small garden in the east courtyard is lined with flowers on both sides of the path. The roses are gorgeous, with morning dew on their petals, like a beauty shedding tears; the peonies are elegant, with layers of petals stretched out, as if the concubine is bathing and charming. Butterflies flutter among the flowers, and the green bamboo sways gracefully, with the bamboo leaves rustling.

Xing Yuling sat quietly in the pavilion, immersed in the beauty of the garden.

(Master, I have upgraded successfully) Little Stone woke up Xing Yuling happily.

"What changes have occurred in the space now?"

(Master, now there is a lotus lake in the space, which is as big as two Rongguo Mansions. There is a snow mountain opposite the mountain, and there is a particularly large lotus lake in the middle. The land in front of the villa has also expanded several times.) The little stone is flying happily in the space. After the space is upgraded, it can also transform within the space.

It turned into a super cute white puppy with a pair of wings on its back. It flapped its wings happily in the air and flew around recklessly.

Xing Yuling's heart was as anxious as a cat's scratch, and she wished she could fly into the space immediately to find out what was going on. So she got up in a hurry, returned to her residence in the backyard like a gust of wind, and sent the maids away like driving ducks, and then she couldn't wait to get into the bedroom. Not long after, she appeared in the space like a fish into water.

She looked at two mountains in the distance, one was a snow-capped mountain, and the other was a lush mountain range, like a pair of close brothers.

There is also a very large lotus lake between the two mountains. Lotus flowers are in full bloom, and the pink and white petals are delicate and beautiful, just like a graceful girl, swaying gently in the breeze. The edges of the petals are slightly pink, and the color becomes lighter as they move towards the middle, until they become white stamens. There are crystal clear water droplets hanging on the stamens, sparkling in the sunlight. The fragrance of the lotus is quiet and elegant, making people feel relaxed and happy. In the center of the lotus pond, there is a small and exquisite pavilion. Xing Yuling walked towards the pavilion, and the path under her feet led directly to the pavilion. When she walked into the pavilion, she found that although the pavilion was small, it was decorated very elegantly, and a set of exquisite tea sets was placed on the stone table.

As soon as she sat down, the little stone flew over and landed at her feet, barking as if to ask for credit. Xing Yuling smiled and touched its head.

She also observed that the bottom of the lotus lake was crystal clear and there were many lotus roots growing there.
