Chapter 373: The majestic and powerful family
Early the next morning.
Jia Zhen and his son packed up their things quickly and walked out of the mansion in a heroic manner. Just as they were about to rush to Wangjiang Tower to settle the matter with Sun Shaozong, they saw several horse-drawn carriages pouring out of Rongguo Mansion, and it was very lively with the sound of servants and maids.
Jia Zhen sent someone over to ask and found out that because Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu both appeared in the play, many people in the Rongguo Mansion were clamoring to join in the fun.
Needless to say, Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu, even Jia Huan, who has been rather neglected recently, and the little-known Jia Cong, and even Jia Lan, the eldest grandson of the second house, are in the team.
After listening to the report from his family, Jia Zhen recalled that when he celebrated his birthday a few days ago, not so many people came, and he felt a little jealous.
Jia Rong rolled his eyes and said happily, "Father, this will make things easier!"
Seeing that Jia Zhen did not understand, he hurriedly explained, "Ever since the incident in Yihong Courtyard, when Second Aunt was taken advantage of by that guy surnamed Sun, Second Uncle Lian has been jealous of him . Now Second Uncle Lian has just developed feelings for Second Aunt, and that guy surnamed Sun has come to steal her away. If he knew about this, how could he let it go?"
"you mean……"
Jia Zhen frowned and said, "Provoke him to take the lead?"
Seeing Jia Rong nod, Jia Zhen shook his head again: "Not right, not right! If this happens, won't your second aunt become the property of Lian Lao Er?"
"What's there to be afraid of? Anyway, we have to be his middleman. When the time comes, we can just try our hand at it first and then send Second Aunt over, right?"
Jia Zhen was still somewhat reluctant after hearing this.
But he was more afraid that he would fail and lose face for Ningguo Mansion, so after weighing it over and over again, he still forced a smile, stepped on the servants to get off the carriage, and called out loudly: "Second Brother Lian, come over and talk!"
Jia Lian had seen the carriage from Ningguo Mansion a long time ago and thought that Jia Rong was inside, so he didn't take it seriously. Now that he saw Jia Zhen getting off, he hurriedly smiled and greeted him, saying, "Brother Zhen, you are not at home today to celebrate your blessings, so why are you in the mood to come out for a walk?"
"interest?"
Jia Zhen's face fell, and he smiled bitterly, "People have bullied us brothers, and you are not doing anything. If I don't come out to seek justice, won't the reputation of our Rong and Ning mansions be trampled on by others?"
Jia Lian was stunned and asked in surprise, "Where did you get this from, Brother Zhen?"
"Where do I begin?"
Jia Zhen looked around, pulled him to his carriage, and sent their servants away. Then he lowered his voice and asked, "Did Brother Lian take a fancy to my second sister-in-law during my birthday celebration?"
Jia Lian had never concealed his thoughts in front of Jia Zhen and his son. It was normal for him to see through it, so Jia Lian just smiled and said, "It depends on whether Brother Zhen is willing to give it up."
"What's the point of me giving up my love?"
Jia Zhen stamped his feet and said, "To be honest, I originally wanted to bring you and my second sister together, but I never expected that someone like Cheng Yaojin would show up halfway and want to swallow both sisters up at once!"
"Is there such a thing?"
Jia Lian raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, " Who is so bold as to snatch the favorite of Brother Zhen?"
"Who else could it be? It must be that Sun family's second son! When he first saw the lovely girl born to the You sisters in my house, he had evil thoughts in mind..."
Just as Jia Rong had expected, when Jia Lian heard that it was Sun Shaozong who was targeting "You Erjie" again, his face suddenly became ferocious.
Moreover, before Jia Zhen could finish his words, he began to curse: "What a filthy-hearted person! If it weren't for my family's kindness and charity, how could his two brothers be alive today? Not to mention that they married my beautiful sister to his family as his second wife!"
"Even if it is a stray dog on the street who has received so much kindness, he should be grateful to my family! But Sun Erlang is so good that he actually came to me to rob a woman. He is simply an ungrateful wolf who can never be tamed!"
"If I don't teach him a lesson, won't he be able to poop and piss on my head someday?!"
Seeing that Jia Lian was indeed provoked and became more and more excited as he spoke, and swore to heaven that he would teach Sun Shaozong a lesson, Jia Zhen could not help but feel happy, but on his face he pretended to be united against the enemy , and expressed his willingness to fight alongside Jia Lian to let people know how powerful the Rong and Ning mansions were.
The two of them were "getting along well", so Jia Lian was too lazy to stay with those half-grown children. He just told Baoyu to take good care of them, and then he led a few servants and trusted men, and went to the "Wangjiang Tower" with Jia Zhen and his son.
When they arrived near the Prison God Temple, they saw that there were already many carriages and sedan chairs parked on the street, and a group of servants were crowded outside the gate. It turned out that because the space inside was very limited, those masters whose status was just above the passing line and who were not considered noble could only leave their servants waiting outside.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Jia Lian jumped down angrily, not caring whether Jia Zhen and his son followed him or not, and rushed in with a few servants.
"Master, Master, this master!"
The two waiters guarding the gate asked with a smile, "Excuse me, which family is this from..."
Jia Lian, however, asked in a loud voice, "Is Sun Shaozong in this building?!"
The two waiters were stunned by his question, but they nodded immediately and said, "Master Sun is now in the Guanlan Pavilion on the second floor..."
Jia Lian didn't wait for them to finish speaking and stepped forward again.
The two waiters wanted to stop them, but they were suddenly whipped by two slaves with horse whips, shouting, "You blind bastard, you dare to stop Master Lian from Rongguo Mansion?!"
The two waiters were originally whipped and wanted to resist a few times, but when they heard that it was the second master of Ningguo Mansion, they immediately became weak and dared only to beg for mercy.
At this time, Jia Zhen hurriedly caught up with Jia Lian from behind, gave him a thumbs up, and praised him: "Just for your generosity, the burden of Rongguo Mansion should fall on your shoulders in the future!"
Jia Lian became more and more proud, and like a crab, he rushed up to the second floor with a total of ten strong servants from the two families.
Who knew that just as I got upstairs, I heard someone shouting, "What are you doing?!"
Jia Lian looked in the direction of the voice and saw two people standing with their hands behind their backs, guarding the door of a magnificent private room. On a half-moon-shaped relief above their heads, there were three large gold-plated characters "Guanlan Pavilion".
"This ungrateful bastard is so arrogant!"
Jia Lian snorted disdainfully, raised his head and pointed his nose at the two men and asked, "Let me ask you, is Sun Shaozong in there?"
The two of them looked at each other, and raised their heads and said proudly, "Is Lord Sun in there? Is that something you can ask?"
Hey~
Even the servants of the Sun family are so arrogant and domineering!
Jia Lian was already angry and had just been praised to high heavens by Jia Zhen. How could he allow a few servants to act so rudely in front of him?
Without thinking twice, he pointed at the two men and shouted, "Catch them and teach them a lesson!"
The powerful servants of the Rong and Ning mansions had been rubbing their hands in anticipation, and upon hearing this, they immediately swarmed over, pinned down the two men without a word, and started whipping and kicking them, fearing that they would lose points in front of their masters if they were slow.
The two gatekeepers did not expect that the other party would start fighting without saying a word. They were surrounded by a group of people and suffered a great loss immediately. However, they refused to give in and kept shouting:
"How dare you attack us!"
"Ouch~! You...you bastards, do you want to die?!"
"How dare you still be so stubborn?"
If the fight got out of hand, Jia Lian would take the blame. Jia Zhen also shouted fiercely, "Beat, beat, beat! Knock out their teeth one by one. I want to see if these two fools can stand up again!"
The servants of the Rong and Ning mansions received the order and were about to take more ruthless actions, but the two men screamed in unison: "There are assassins, there are assassins!"
This shout was not a big deal. Suddenly, more than thirty people came out from the private rooms nearby, upstairs and downstairs. Each of them held a shining weapon in his hand and shouted:
"Protect the emperor, protect the emperor!"
"Protect the prince!"
"Don't let the assassin go!"
Prince?
assassin!
Escort?!
Jia Lian and Jia Zhen looked at each other in bewilderment, and felt a chill from head to toe - they suddenly remembered that although the play here was "The Case of Sun Gong", the troupe performing this play was from the Zhongshun Palace!
Could it be that the person inside is not Sun Shaozong, but...
