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

"Are we the only two left now?"

Jia Rong's face turned red and he slowly squatted down.

But at this moment, Tang Xiaolong reached out and pinched Jia Rong's chin, and asked with a smile,

"I asked you to find out what happened in the palace that day. What was the court's response plan? Did you find out?"

Jia Rong trembled slightly.

"Dao, Brother Dao, I, I..."

Tang Xiaolong frowned, narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Jia Rong, and asked in a faint voice,

"Why? I give you 10,000 taels of silver every month for your living expenses, and you only care about eating and drinking?"

Jia Rong hurriedly shook his head and said,

"No, Brother Dao, this matter is really of great importance!"

Tang Xiaolong sneered.

"If it's not serious, why would I give you ten thousand taels of silver?"

"If you can't produce any useful information, how can I explain this to the brothers below?"

Jia Rong hurriedly said,

"No, it's not Brother Dao."

"It's just that the time you gave me was short, and I only found out a little bit of the situation, not the whole picture."

As he said this, he looked at Tang Xiaolong cautiously.

"It's because I was worried that the news was untrue that I didn't dare report it to Brother Dao!"

Tang Xiaolong nodded slightly.

"Then tell me what you know, and I'll make my own judgment!"

Then Tang Xiaolong stood up and pulled up his trousers.

"Yes!"

Jia Rong followed Tang Xiaolong closely, and said solemnly,

"I was drinking with the third son of the Ministry of Revenue's official family last night, and he told me that lately, all the memorials to the court seem to be handled by the Crown Prince and the King of Chu."

"Oh?"

Tang Xiaolong keenly realized that this was important information, but he raised his eyebrows.

"That's quite interesting. Are there any more?"

Jia Rong shook his head.

"That's all I've found out."

Tang Xiaolong patted Jia Rong on the shoulder.

"Well, although I'm not entirely satisfied with this news, it's still worthy of praise. Keep up the good work!"

Jia Rong looked delighted.

"Thank you Brother Dao!"

……

That night, the Rongguo Mansion was brightly lit.

Sumptuous banquets were set up in the front and back halls of Rongxi Hall to welcome Lin Daiyu who had just arrived.

Almost all the respectable people in the East and West Palaces came.

Outside, there was the sound of clinking glasses and laughter, and countless servants were busy running around carrying wine and dishes.

Jia Rong also brought Tang Xiaolong, who was wearing makeup, and toasted and drank with everyone in the West Mansion from time to time.

Whenever someone asked about Tang Xiaolong, Jia Rong would say that he was his martial arts master.

No one said much.

However, unexpectedly, the father of Jia Rong's wife who died before he married her, his father-in-law Qin Ye, also appeared here.

Jia Rong didn't pay much attention to this. After all, although the wedding turned into a funeral that day, the two families still exchanged invitations.

In addition, Jia Rong was now impressed by Tang Xiaolong and his heart was entirely on him, so he didn't take this too seriously.

Because it is not convenient for men to enter the back hall,

Therefore, in the back hall, all the family members related to the Jia family went to the back hall to pay their respects on behalf of their respective families.

When they met the Lady of Leping County, those women who remembered their husbands' teachings poured out all the flattering words they had accumulated over decades to Lin Daiyu, the Lady of Leping County.

Even though Lin Daiyu doesn't like these lively social events, as the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you.

She could only manage to cope with it. The banquet had already started and the greetings in the back hall were not over yet.

Grandmother Jia also looked at the lively scene with a smile.

That is to say, today, the big event of Lin Daiyu entering the mansion and being promoted to the title of county lady was held.

It has been many years since Rong Xitang has been so lively.

However, they only told the public that this was a welcoming banquet and nothing else.

After all, the Jia family had only made preparations to entertain Lin Daiyu, but Lin Daiyu was conferred the title of Lady of Leping County before she even entered the house.

Even if the Jia family made preparations immediately and sent out a notice, it would be too late.
