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

"Now this news has spread throughout the entire Shenjing City! It has even alarmed the Shenjing Prefecture Governor's Office!"

"what?!"

Qin Zhong's face was instantly filled with sadness when he heard this.

"Sister! Sister!"

He turned around and was about to run away, but when he remembered that Jia Rong was still there, he turned around and said to Jia Rong,

"Master Rong, I, I have to go back to the mansion to check! You..."

Jia Rong had just digested this sudden news.

But he was not too sad, or even had too many emotional fluctuations.

From the very beginning, this marriage was arranged by his father, and he didn't even have the slightest right to have a say.

Naturally, there is no question of any feelings for the wife who has not yet married him.

The reason why he came out to get drunk today was because he thought that after getting married tomorrow, he would have to follow the path arranged by his father completely, and his future life would be shackled.

I was extremely depressed and just wanted to vent my anger.

In order to avoid being punished by his father Jia Zhen, he specially sent someone to invite Qin Zhong, the future brother-in-law of the Qin Mansion, to go with him.

Now when I heard this news, I felt as if an invisible shackle had disappeared in an instant. Not only did I not feel much sadness in my heart, but I felt quite relaxed and happy.

After hearing Qin Zhong's words, Jia Rong came back to his senses and understood what Qin Zhong meant. He was asking him if he wanted to go with him to the Qin Mansion to take a look.

Jia Rong naturally didn't want to do that, not to mention that he had no interest in this marriage in the first place.

It was late at night, and it felt unlucky to go to a house where someone had died.

He smiled awkwardly and said to Qin Zhong,

"Well, I'm sorry, Zhong Ge'er, you, you go back first."

"It's not appropriate for me to go with you in my current state. I'll go to the Qin Mansion to offer my condolences another day!"

After hearing what Jia Rong said, Qin Zhong had no doubts.

He nodded to Jia Rong, saluted with his fists, then turned around and fled quickly.

After watching Qin Zhong walk away, Jia Rong breathed a sigh of relief, feeling extremely relaxed and comfortable all over.

However, he heard the shouts of Lai Er and others searching from inside Zuihonglou, and he was instantly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

He subconsciously turned around and tried to escape into the alley.

But at this moment, a big hand was on his shoulder and pulled him back.

Only then did Jia Rong remember that there was a big man standing next to him.

He forced a smile on his face.

"This, this is very pretty, you, you are..."

Tang Xiaolong had already noticed Jia Rong's expression when he saw the servants holding ropes and sticks.

He raised his head slightly to indicate Zui Hong Lou, looked at Jia Rong and asked,

"As the heir to the Ningguo Mansion's title, are you afraid of these filthy servants?"

"me……"

Hearing this, Jia Rong felt his face turn red and he stammered, unable to speak.

Tang Xiaolong looked at Jia Rong and sighed softly.

"I usually love to stand up for the weak, and now that I've met Master Jia, I feel like I'm familiar with him. I think he must have something to hide."

"How about we find a quiet place and spend the night sighing and talking about our true feelings?"

"Ah? No, no..." Jia Rong trembled with fear.

Tang Xiaolong just chuckled, and then shouted at the servants of the Jia Mansion who were looking for Jia Rong in Zuihonglou.

"Master Rong from Ningguo Mansion is here!"

Jia Rong was startled instantly and looked at Tang Xiaolong in astonishment.

"Good man! You've done me a disservice!"

Beijing Palace.

Prince Shui Rong of Beijing, who was about to go to bed, was shocked when he heard that Qin Keqing, a daughter of the Qin family and the wife of Jia Rong, the eldest son of Ningguo Mansion, who was about to marry the next day, had been burned to death in a fire.

He hurriedly asked the servant who came to report the cause and effect.

After the servants learned that Qin Keqing had probably committed suicide by setting herself on fire because she was resisting the marriage,

Shui Rong was stunned on the spot.

After a long time, he let out a heavy sigh.

He then ordered his servants to go to the Shenjing Prefecture Yamen to copy the documents from the on-site investigation.

He also sent five hundred taels of silver to the Qin Mansion in the name of a distant relative of the Qin family.
