The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

Jia Zhen paused when he heard this, frowned, and turned to look at Lai Erdao.

"What happened? What's causing all the fuss? Has that evil creature caused trouble again outside?"

Lai Er quickly shook his head.

"No, no, sir!"

Then, without waiting for Jia Zhen to ask any more questions, he hurriedly said,

"Someone from the Qin family just came and said that the Qin residence was on fire! And..."

Jia Zhen was slightly taken aback. Before Lai Er could finish, he immediately grabbed Lai Er and asked hurriedly,

"How is the young mistress? Is she okay?"

Lai Er was frightened by Jia Zhen's slightly ferocious expression and became a little nervous.

But considering that tomorrow is the young master's big wedding, it is understandable that the master is worried.

"Master! Someone from the Qin family said that the young mistress...she..."

Jia Zhen stamped his feet in anxiety.

"Tell me quickly! What happened to the young mistress?"

Lai Er said with a tearful tone,

"The young mistress's boudoir caught fire and she was burned to death!"

"what?"

Jia Zhen frowned, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then slowly loosened Lai Er's collar.

He patted his hands and asked in a deep voice,

"Is the news true?"

Lai Er understood Jia Zhen's meaning and quickly replied,

"The prefectural yamen has sent runners and coroners to investigate the scene. The Young Madam's room must have caught fire accidentally, and a female corpse was found. The Qin family has identified it as the Young Madam!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhen took two steps forward in a daze, then slapped his thigh hard.

"oops!"

Then he turned to look at Lai Er and asked coldly,

"What about the evil beast?"

Lai Er knew who Jia Zhen was talking about and said hurriedly,

"Someone from the mansion was shopping and saw Rong'er, who seemed to be drunk in the Red Mansion..."

"Humph!"

Jia Zhen snorted coldly.

"My wife, who was going to be married tomorrow, was burned to death, and that evil creature still had the nerve to hang around outside?"

"If this gets out, how will outsiders view our Jia family?!"

Suddenly he thought of something and glared at Lai Erdao.

"Didn't I order someone to bring that evil creature back? Why are you still letting him linger in such a filthy place?!"

Lai Er quickly confessed his guilt.

"Master, please forgive me. Tomorrow is Rong'er's wedding, so we have some staff at home..."

Jia Zhen waved his hand and said with a dark face,

"That's enough! Seeing a happy event turn into a funeral, why are you still busy?"

"You can take people to tie that evil beast back to me!"

"Master, I will take him to the Qin Mansion to confess his crime! If that evil creature hadn't been hanging around outside, if he had been more careful, how could such a tragedy have happened?"

"Yes, sir! I'll do it right away!"

Lai Er received the order and was about to leave.

But he was stopped by Jia Zhen again.

"Wait!"

"Later, take out one hundred taels of silver from the mansion and personally deliver it to the Qin Mansion!"

"Even if she hasn't married yet, we are still in-laws after all. We can't let outsiders look down on us."

"Yes, sir! I understand!"

Lai Er's eyes lit up, and he respectfully accepted the order and left.

Jia Zhen looked at the direction where Lai Er left, then slowly reached out and touched the big red "囍" character on the wall.

He sighed heavily and punched his palm hard.

He shook his head and sighed as he headed towards the inner courtyard.

In Rongguo Mansion.

Grandmother Jia was in Rongxi Hall, chatting and having fun with a group of young ladies and ladies.

Suddenly, she heard a commotion outside. Grandmother Jia frowned slightly and asked,

"What happened outside? Why is there so much panic?"

Wang Xifeng smiled and said,

"Old lady, I'll send someone out to investigate!"

Then he winked at his maid Ping'er, and Ping'er obeyed the order and left Rong Xi Tang.

Grandmother Jia nodded slightly in satisfaction, then looked at Wang Xifeng and smiled,

"Lian'er is not at home now. She has gone to Yangzhou to pick up my poor granddaughter."

"During these times, everything in and out of the mansion is thanks to you!"

Wang Xifeng laughed happily and said,

"What are you talking about, old lady? Isn't this what a granddaughter-in-law should do?"

Then he laughed and said,

"Besides, there are so many things going on in such a big house, I can't handle it all by myself."

"It's all thanks to my wife, the first wife, and Sister-in-law Zhu for their guidance."

Mrs. Wang, who was sitting below Lady Jia, turned the Buddhist beads in her hand slightly with a calm expression.
