Chapter 376: Helping the relationship or helping the relatives?
But Wang Xifeng's heart turned cold. She narrowed her eyes and looked carefully. She saw that the two talkative people in front of the door were not the capable people around Lady Jia, but just ordinary servants .
She raised her hand and pointed, shouting, "Come here, teach these two ignorant people a lesson!"
The maids and old women had already rushed forward from behind, grabbed the two talkative old women, and beat them with both ears.
Wang Xifeng still felt that she was not satisfied and was waiting to be ordered to beat him again. Ping'er hurriedly said, "Madam, after all, we are in front of the old ancestor's house. If we really make a fuss, I'm afraid it won't be appropriate!"
Wang Xifeng then gave up and spat in the faces of the two old women. Then she gritted her teeth and walked into the yard.
Before he even got close to the main hall, he heard a familiar loud voice yelling, "Second brother is usually quite upright, but why didn't he tell the truth today? The You sisters clearly found Second Brother Sun on their own, so how can he be considered as stealing their love?!"
Listening to this silly voice, who else could it be but Xue Pan?
It turned out that in the Wanghai Tower, Jia Lian accidentally offended King Zhongshun; when Jia Baoyu rushed over to plead for mercy, he was schemed by King Zhongshun and accidentally offended Uncle Zhao.
From then on, no matter how many times Jia Baoyu repeated his apology, Uncle Zhao just had a cold face and didn't say a word.
There was no other choice, so the Jia family had to return to the Ning and Rong mansions in disgrace, taking a dozen wounded people with them.
At that time, Sun Shaozong saw that Jia Zhen and Jia Lian were full of resentment, and he was worried that they would cover up their mistakes after returning home and put all the blame on him, so he specially asked Xue Pan to come with him so that he could speak for him first.
Judging from the current commotion, it is obvious that Sun Shaozong had guessed it right!
Jia Lian was kneeling on the ground with a bruised face. Hearing Xue Pan defending Sun Shaozong in every word, he could not help but get annoyed. He straightened his body and asked angrily, "Big Xue! What benefits did you get from Sun Shaozong that you speak for him in every word?!"
Xue Pan glared at him and was about to retort when he saw the door curtain being raised and Wang Xifeng walked in from outside, sneering, "No matter who he is speaking for, I just want to ask you, is what Wenlong said true or false?!"
When Jia Lian saw Wang Xifeng coming, he was timid at first, then annoyed. He simply stood up from the ground and looked into Wang Xifeng's eyes with a sullen face: "What does it matter if it's true or not?! I fell into Sun Shaozong's trap outside and was humiliated in public! Now that we're home, are you going to help him humiliate me further?!"
After all, Wang Xifeng still had some affection for her husband in her heart. Seeing that his eyes were about to burst out while he was talking, it was obvious that she was extremely ashamed and angry, so she couldn't bear to say anything for a while.
But Xue Pan and Jia Baoyu, who were standing by, shook their heads after hearing this: "What kind of trick is this? Prince Zhongshun arrived suddenly, and beforehand..."
"Baoyu!"
Jia Lian tilted his head, stared at Jia Baoyu with burning eyes and asked: "Am I your brother, or is that Sun Erlang your brother?!"
Jia Baoyu immediately became dispirited. If it were a matter of reason, he would naturally be more inclined to Sun Shaozong - but nowadays, it is customary to help relatives instead of logic.
Therefore, after Jia Lian said this, he was unable to say anything else.
Although Xue Pan did not have these concerns, he was speechless and did not know what to say when he saw that Jia Baoyu had stopped and even the usually strong Sister Feng was suppressed by Jia Lian.
Finally, he suddenly remembered that Lady Jia was present, so he hurriedly bowed and said, "Grandfather, Second Brother Lian is clearly being unreasonable today..."
"Alas~"
Grandmother Jia sighed, interrupted Xue Pan's words, and said quietly: "Which one of the Zhongshun Prince and the uncle of the emperor is really interested in? You all don't want to think about how to resolve the disaster and solve the doubts, but are still arguing about right and wrong here?"
As she spoke, she raised her voice and ordered, "Send someone to urge the eldest and second masters to return home quickly! Yuanyang, take out the few hidden items in my storehouse and prepare them!"
Jia Lian was originally filled with resentment and was unwilling to submit to anyone, but after hearing what Grandmother Jia said, his spine and heart softened at the same time. He knelt down on the ground in fear and shame, bowed his head and said, "Grandfather, it is all our grandchildren who have caused this trouble. How... How can we touch your things?"
After he knelt, Wang Xifeng and Jia Baoyu could no longer stand and hurriedly knelt on the ground to persuade Lady Jia to take back her decision.
Seeing that everyone in the room was kneeling, Xue Pan felt it was inconvenient to stand alone, so he knelt down reluctantly as well.
At this moment, the bamboo curtain was raised again , and Li Wan walked in from outside. After entering the room, she saw everyone kneeling on the ground. She couldn't help but said in astonishment: "This... this is..."
Everyone remained silent. After a long while, Grandmother Jia asked, "Daughter-in-law Zhu'er, you came here at this time. Do you have something to say?"
"Reply to the old ancestor's words!"
Li Wan said hurriedly, "I originally wanted to see how Lan Er was doing, but I ran into Lord Sun outside, so I came in to report to him."
"Sun Shaozong is here?!"
"Why is Brother Sun here?"
"Brother Sun is here?!"
The three men in the room shouted in unison, but their tones were very different.
Xue Pan had been kneeling for a long time, and he immediately jumped up, not caring whether Lady Jia agreed or not, and said excitedly: "I will go and invite my second brother in to talk!"
After Xue Pan came outside, Jia Lian began to kneel restlessly, thinking to himself that if he continued to kneel on the ground after Sun Shaozong came in, wouldn't he be losing face for nothing?
Thinking of this, he wanted to get up and hold his head high and chest out.
Touch~
Grandmother Jia suddenly smashed her dragon-headed cane to the ground and shouted, "Kneel down!"
As he spoke, he called Baoyu and Wang Xifeng to stand up.
Wang Xifeng had done nothing wrong, and it was not appropriate for her to kneel here to meet a man from another world, so she stood up and stood behind Lady Jia with Li Wan.
Jia Baoyu refused to stand up, but shook his head: "Grandfather, it was my grandson who offended the uncle of the emperor, so naturally I should be punished together with my second brother ."
"Good grandson."
Grandmother Jia said with a smile: "If you didn't want to save those people's lives, how could you fall into their trap? This matter is not your fault. Don't be too hard on yourself. Get up quickly."
But Jia Baoyu still refused.
At this time, someone outside the door suddenly laughed and said, "Although Brother Bao offended the uncle of the emperor, he also made Prince Zhongshun forgive him. The two sides offset each other, so naturally he has done a good deed and has no fault."
As he was speaking, a tall and burly figure stepped over the threshold, strode into the hall, and said cheerfully, "Sun Shaozong greets the ancestor!"
Grandmother Jia hurriedly stood up and gave him a helping hand: "Good boy, get up, get up quickly!"
Sun Shaozong stood up and said, "I was a little late. I wanted to wait for an opportunity to deal with the aftermath, but Brother Bao's friend Jiang Yuhan got there first. Now that Prince Zhongshun is fine, it's Uncle Zhao who needs to be dealt with carefully."
After a pause, he continued , "Uncle Zhao comes from a poor family, so he is most afraid of being looked down upon. On the contrary, as long as the eldest or second master comes forward and lowers his posture to give him enough face, the misunderstanding will probably be eliminated - but it must be done quickly, otherwise the news will spread to the harem and the result will be unpredictable."
After hearing what Sun Shaozong said, which was exactly what she had thought, Grandmother Jia couldn't help but praise him: "No wonder Lord Sun was able to become famous in the officialdom at the age of twenty. His meticulousness really makes my two grandchildren ashamed."
Jia Baoyu already admired Sun Shaozong's abilities, so naturally he wouldn't think there was anything wrong with it.
But when Jia Lian heard this, he felt uncomfortable.
But Sun Shaozong was about to talk about Jia Lian next.
Then he bowed and said, "I don't deserve your praise, but there is one thing I don't understand, and I hope to ask Brother Lian for clarification."
After saying this, he turned around and bowed to Jia Lian, "Second Brother Lian, I believe I have never offended you in the past. Why did you come to Wangjiang Tower in a rage today? I wonder what you are doing here?"
"What's the matter?!"
Hearing that he dared to ask a question, Jia Lian could not help himself. He jumped up from the ground, his eyes widened, and he asked with gritted teeth: "How dare you ask me what I am doing?!"
