Chapter 388: The Well-behaved Zhen Muring
Shi Ya brought hot water and helped Jia Cong wipe it. Looking at Jia Cong hugging his own lady in a daze, she hesitated for a moment and then quietly went to the outer room to wait.
She remembered the previous incident clearly. It was obvious that her daughter had had physical contact with the Marquis. Moreover, now that the Marquis was looking after her, her daughter could feel more at ease.
As for fame and reputation, she didn't care about them at the moment.
My family almost treats the girl as a commodity. If Jia Cong cannot accept the girl, then I am afraid she will die. I just hope that the Marquis can treat the girl well, and after some time, with the order of the Supreme Emperor to arrange the marriage, everything will go smoothly.
"Ah!" Outside the door, Shi Ya sighed softly. Her daughter had never experienced anything like this before, but she never thought that after entering the Divine Capital, she would start to suffer disasters...
"Thank you for your hard work, sister!" She whispered to Xin'er beside her.
Although Xin'er looked a little younger than her, they were guests and were staying in someone else's courtyard, so she naturally needed to be polite.
"No need to be so polite!" Xin'er was also friendly. She knew from Yuanyang that this girl would soon become the mistress of the East Mansion, so it would be better for them to be on good terms with each other so as to avoid making things difficult for her concubine.
Jia Cong looked at Zhen Muring, who was aggrieved and somewhat frightened in his arms, and his violent thoughts couldn't help but calm down.
He gently took off his robe, got on the bed, hugged Zhen Muring and fell asleep.
The two of them had already had physical contact, and now they were just a formal relationship, so they were not afraid of gossip. Moreover, Jia Cong was not an irresponsible person. In any case, he was the one who wanted this girl's body, and she was his real woman. Since the Zhen family did not favor her, he would love her.
The two of them slept like this all night.
The next morning, Zhen Muring woke up first. When she opened her eyes, she saw Jia Cong's face standing in front of her.
She subconsciously wanted to step back, but her hand naturally grabbed Jia Cong, as if holding Jia Cong could make her feel more stable.
At this moment, Jia Cong also woke up. Seeing Zhen Muring's tangled little movements, he felt a little funny.
He held Zhen Muring in his arms somewhat domineeringly. For some reason, bullying this little girl always made Jia Cong feel full of accomplishment...
"Did you sleep well last night?"
Zhen Muring nodded nervously. She had very complicated feelings towards Jia Cong. He was her demon, but also her savior.
" Do you still remember what I said to you on the way home yesterday ?"
Zhen Muring nodded vigorously with some fear, and when her forehead touched Jia Cong's chest, she hurriedly moved back, but as soon as she moved, Jia Cong hugged her again.
"Repeat it, let me see if you are lying to me!"
Under normal circumstances, Zhen Muring would naturally not bother to pay attention to such unreasonable and boring things, but when facing Jia Cong, she felt like a little lamb and did not dare to resist at all.
"Yesterday...yesterday you said that I am...your woman, and wherever you are, that is...that is my home!"
After she finished speaking, although she was still a little afraid in her heart, her slightly red and swollen eyes couldn't help but look at Jia Cong, not knowing whether these words were lies to her or not.
Seeing Zhen Muring so well-behaved, Jia Cong nodded with satisfaction, gently pinched her cheek and then said, "Just remember, from now on, you will live in the East Mansion, and the Zhen family has nothing to do with you. As long as you are well-behaved, I will take you to see Zhen Muring in two days."
As he spoke, Jia Cong felt like a big bad wolf threatening a little white rabbit.
He complained to himself in his heart, then threw off the quilt and got out of bed. Hearing some noise in the room, Shi Ya and Xin Er walked in.
Jia Cong stretched himself lazily. "You can just rest here. When you are free in the room, go and chat with Yuanyang . That bastard from the Wu family dared to snatch my woman. Today I will go and see how brave he is."
"You take care of her, I'm going to the mandarin duck room to wash up!"
…
In the palace, Emperor Longxing stood quietly outside the Dragon Head Palace and was not in a hurry to attend the court. He had known about what happened yesterday. If it was just a child's mischief, he would not care. However, the actions of the Wu family made him extremely angry.
How could he not guess what the Wu family wanted to do?
Everyone in the world knew that he hated the Zhen family, and keeping the Zhen family was just to give the emperor face. The emperor knew this very well.
But the Wu family actually took the initiative to form an alliance with the Zhen family? Did they consider themselves the father-in-law of the emperor and the emperor's in-laws?
"What a great Wu family!" Emperor Longxing sneered, but he had to admit that the Wu family's plan did make some sense. If Jia Cong had not returned, he would only have one son left. Although this son was not very pleasing to him, he was polite and filial.
In other words, the throne will most likely belong to Li Yu in the future.
Even for the sake of his son, he couldn't suppress the Wu family too much now. After all, his son would need a few people to help him when he succeeded to the throne. However, it was a question whether Li Yu could succeed to the throne in the future. The Wu family's behavior obviously disgusted Emperor Longxing to the extreme.
In fact, it was not the same as what the Wu family thought. Not only was Emperor Longxing extremely angry, even the retired emperor was quite dissatisfied.
You yourself said that you wanted to arrange a marriage between Jia Cong and the daughter of the Zhen family. Now your Wu family is going to the Zhen family to propose marriage. Isn't this clearly a slap in your own face?
…
Outside the palace, because today is the day of the grand court meeting, most of the civil and military officials are here.
Moreover, perhaps some people anticipated that the court would not be peaceful today, so even those who had nothing to do rushed over to watch the fun.
The heads of the eight dukes and twelve marquises, led by Niu Jizong and Wang Ziteng, have all arrived. Although they don't want to offend the Wu family, they are not afraid now that Jia Cong has sent a message. Not to mention that it is now the Longxing Emperor, even if Li Yu becomes the emperor, the Wu family is just an in-law. How can they be afraid when all the military heroes unite?
Although the civil servants looked calm, many of them were exchanging glances with each other, and it was obvious that they had already communicated with each other.
At the front of the crowd, Meng Zong sneered. He had received the note that Jia Cong sent him yesterday. If it was something else, he might not care about it. However, Jia Cong was right. The Wu family was targeting the Jia family. This was not just a matter of one family, but a matter of military merit as a whole.
If the military heroes of the Yuanping lineage remain silent this time, then people like Wu Tianyou will definitely trample all the military heroes to death in the future, right?
