The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 698

Chapter 698

After sending people to Tongzhou, and barely finishing their lunch at the inn, Mrs. Wang persuaded her sister-in-law and niece to go back to Taiwei's mansion to wait—now that there are no more people, things must be prepared in advance.

On the way back to the city.

"What? You, you are pregnant?!"

Seeing that Wang Xifeng followed her into the carriage of Rongguo Mansion instead of taking care of Wang Ziteng's wife, Mrs. Wang felt a little puzzled, but she was stunned when she learned that Wang Xifeng had diagnosed a happy pulse.

Halfway through, he frowned and said: "Your father-in-law passed away less than a year ago, and now your father...you are pregnant and have a child at this time, I'm afraid you will attract a lot of criticism! Besides, the matter of the 20 taels of silver has not yet been completely settled. , if this..."

After hesitating for a while, she suggested in a low voice: "If not, buy some medicine..."

"no way!"

Wang Xifeng protected his lower abdomen with both hands, and said without doubt: "I want to make up for this child, no one can persuade me!"

As she said that, she wiped the corners of her eyes again with a handkerchief, and said with a sob: "Father... this child came just now, maybe it's because the father has a spirit in the sky, how can I have the heart to destroy it?"

It's fine if she doesn't say it, but Mrs. Wang also feels a little strange when she mentions it, but just after our brother died, our niece suddenly became pregnant?

Could it be true...

Ms. Wang dared not persuade her to have an abortion because she would rather believe what she had or not, but she became pregnant and gave birth to a child during the mourning period—and it was the double mourning period for her father-in-law and biological father. Just for fun.

After hesitating for a moment, she asked again: "Then what do you want to do? Don't dare to let people know about this!"

"I just thought about it."

Wang Xifeng put down the veil that wiped her tears, and said seriously: "Isn't the second sister going to be sent to the temple in a while? There is no one who knows the basics and guards, so I'm afraid I can't be relieved, so I simply followed, and I will supervise from the side. Secondly, I also took the opportunity to give birth to this child—at worst, it will be said that it was adopted from other places."

Seeing that she had already made up her mind, and that this method was barely the best of both worlds, Mrs. Wang finally felt relieved, but she still confessed: "You must not make decisions on your own for such a big matter, and you must ask brother Lian to help you in detail before doing it." Make up your mind—he is the father of the child after all!"

A trace of sarcasm flashed in Wang Xifeng's eyes, but he said in his mouth: "What Madam said is that when I return to Wang's house, I will invite him to come and have a look together."

Although she had known for a long time that Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian were at odds, Mrs. Wang didn't think too much about it. After all, bedside fights and bedside reconciliation were not uncommon.

Therefore, Wang Xifeng didn't think there was anything wrong when he heard that he was going to invite Jia Lian to the Wang family—this old father-in-law died, shouldn't the son-in-law come to mourn?

No more words all the way.

When they arrived at the Taiwei Mansion, because Wang Xifeng was pregnant, it was inconvenient for her to come forward to take care of it, but Wang Ren was arrested and imprisoned, and the housekeeper was sent to Tongzhou, so Mrs. Wang came forward to take over everything and hand-picked He asked Xue Baochai to assist him.

Although I didn't prepare anything in advance, as long as I am willing to pay money in the capital, what can't be bought?

In less than an hour, the interior and exterior of the mourning hall were messy, except for the chanting booth and the archway in front of the gate, which still needed to be worked overtime.

It was at this time.

Jia Zheng and Jia Lian, the sons-in-law of the two generations of the royal family, finally arrived at Taiwei's Mansion.

Jia Zheng first said "sorry" to his wife twice, and then asked in puzzlement, "When did this happen? Brother Ziteng has always been open-minded, how could it be... ah~!"

Wang Ziteng's wife just wiped her tears blindly, and Mrs. Wang answered for her: "The specifics of what happened, I don't know yet, we have to wait for the person to be brought back from Tongzhou before we can find out."

Jia Zheng nodded. In fact, he was like a mirror in his heart. The reason why Wang Ziteng did this was simply to hope that he could die and not implicate his wife and children.

In view of the fact that most of his crimes are unauthorized power, shielding, connivance and the like, and have not touched any unpardonable crimes, there is still a great chance of saving his family by desperately fighting for death.

but……

No matter what happens, the once-prominent Taiwei Mansion has come to an end.

He is here chatting with the elders.

Later, Jia Lian looked around and saw that there was no sign of Wang Xifeng in the mourning hall, so he couldn't help asking Baoyu, "Where is your sister-in-law?"

"Sister Feng just cried for a while, and was persuaded to rest in the west courtyard."

Having said that, Jia Baoyu was actually a little puzzled, although it was true that Wang Xifeng had been crying for a while, but her aunt and second cousin were obviously crying more than her, so why did she go to the West Courtyard to rest alone?

After hearing this, Jia Lian found a familiar maid to lead the way to the West Courtyard.

Although he really doesn't want to see Wang Xifeng now, but this time he came to his father-in-law's house for the funeral after all, so he still has to do superficial things.

Originally planned to meet Wang Xifeng, say a few words of consolation in public, and then go about their own business, but when they went to the room in the west courtyard, they found Wang Xifeng lying on the bed sleeping soundly.

Jia Lian was furious all of a sudden, he thought he got the news and ran over in a hurry, who knew that his dead father was sleeping comfortably!

He forgot for a moment how happy he was after Jia She's death, and he wanted to wake up Wang Xifeng and criticize her in the name of filial piety.

I don't want to take two steps forward and was about to speak when I was stopped by Feng'er, the personal maid.

"Second Master, let Second Grandma sleep for a while."

Feng'er said in a crisp voice: "It's sad and joyful for a while, and it's really tormenting."

Seeing a maid who dared to stand in the way, Jia Lian was about to have a fit, but when he heard the phrase "sorrow for a while, joy for a while", he couldn't help but wondered: "Where does joy come from?"

Feng'er was waiting for his words, looked out with her head, and suddenly gave a deep salute: "Congratulations to Second Master, congratulations to Second Master, Second Grandma has just diagnosed a happy pulse!"

"Um?!"

Jia Lian's eyes widened all of a sudden.

What about my abortion pills?There are several big bags, are they all fakes? !

He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, looked at Wang Xifeng's still-flat stomach panting like a cow, subconsciously took two steps forward, raised his right foot up, wishing he could kick it up with one hearty foot, kicking that evil species together with Wang Xifeng's intestines come out!

Just at this moment, I suddenly heard someone yelling outside the door: "It's not good, it's not good, the people from Dali Temple are here again!"

On the bed, Wang Xifeng opened her eyes in a jerk. After seeing Jia Lian who was gnashing her teeth in front of the bed, she first subconsciously protected her lower abdomen, then got up quickly, and took a golden hairpin from the bedside table in her hand. Her eyes were like a she-wolf protecting her cubs fierce light.

Jia Lian subconsciously took half a step back, and immediately felt weak again. Just as she was thinking about how to make up for it, Wang Xifeng turned her attention to Feng'er, and scolded, "Why do you put everyone in the room? Like this, What do I need you for?"

Feng'er was stunned by the scolding for a while, if even the second master wanted to stop her, who else could get through without hindrance?

Jia Lian's face darkened, and he sneered, "Father-in-law just passed away, thanks to you..."

Unexpectedly, Wang Xifeng didn't listen at all, and while calling Feng'er to help her dress up, she asked what was shouting outside just now.

Feng'er glanced at Second Master Lian's face again and again, and replied obediently: "It is said that someone from Dali Temple has come again, maybe it has something to do with the matter of Master Taiwei."

"People from Dali Temple?"

Wang Xifeng frowned, and was about to say something, when suddenly someone outside said loudly: "Is Second Brother Lian inside?"

Hearing this voice, the husband and wife both changed their expressions, but one was happy and the other was filled with resentment.

"You still invited him?!"

Jia Lian gritted his teeth, his eyes froze on Wang Xifeng's hand for a moment, seeing that the golden hairpin aimed at his vitals without hesitation, he managed to suppress the urge to use violence.

"So what if I invite you?"

Wang Xifeng snorted coldly, and immediately raised his voice: "Come in and talk."

Saying that, he ordered Feng'er to retreat temporarily.

Jiao Shun strode into the room, seeing that his husband and wife seemed to be confronting each other, he cupped his hands and said, "Second Brother Lian, please come and walk with us."

"Where?"

Jia Lian subconsciously asked back, then frowned and said, "Who are you?"

"It's me, my younger brother, and an official servant from Dali Temple who should investigate the case."

Jiao Shun deliberately paused for a moment when he said this, and when Jia Lian's complexion suddenly changed and his calves began to tremble, he continued to explain: "Your Majesty suddenly heard that the Taiwei star died in Tongzhou, so he urgently ordered Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the cause of death, and report to the court, Give the Wang family an explanation—it just so happens that I am also teaching in the palace today, so I got the title of accompanying supervisor."

"Because I want to give an explanation to the Wang family, after discussing with the people in Dali Temple, I decided to ask the Wang family to appoint someone to go to Tongzhou to avoid suspicion and trouble."

To put it bluntly, the emperor originally wanted to bite off a few pieces of fat from the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang through the mouth of Wang Ziteng. When he heard that Wang Ziteng suddenly committed suicide in Tongzhou, he didn't believe it at first, and then he inevitably started conspiracy theories.

I wondered if the Jiangsu and Zhejiang people were afraid of being bitten by Wang Ziteng, so they simply took a ruthless hand, sent someone to kill Wang Ziteng on the way, and pretended to commit suicide?

Therefore, not only did he assign Dali Temple to inspect it carefully, but he also sacrificed the number one capable general under his command with some anxiety.

Speaking of this, Jiao Shun cupped his hands again and said, "Just now when I mentioned this matter in the mourning hall, Uncle Zheng Shi and Mrs. Taiwei both felt that Second Brother is the most suitable."

Only then did Jia Lian heave a sigh of relief. Just now when Jiao Shun said that Dali Temple wanted to invite him to leave, he thought that the matter of hiding the property of the Lin family had been exposed.

He also guessed that Jiao Shun was trying to scare him on purpose, so he was naturally very annoyed, but he really couldn't muster up the courage to move—it was just a woman, Jiao Shun's fists looked like a casserole, and if he really wanted to use his hands, wouldn't it? Waiting to be beaten?

So he gritted his teeth and said, "Then what are you waiting for, let's go!"

As he spoke, he wanted to walk away.

"Second brother, please wait a moment."

But Jiao Shun stopped him again, and turned his gaze to Wang Xifeng: "I heard that my sister-in-law is pregnant, and I haven't congratulated her yet."

"you!"

Jia Lian's eyes widened with anger, but Wang Xifeng couldn't wait to meet Jiao Shun, and hugged Jiao Shun, and kissed him on tiptoe.

Adulterer X wife, what an adulterer X wife!

Jia Lian was so angry that his lungs were going to explode, he really couldn't see it, so he flicked his sleeves and went outside to wait.

About a quarter of an hour later, Jiao Shun came out from the inside while wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, then shrugged at Jia Lian who was glaring at him, and said helplessly, "I don't want to do that either, but sister-in-law After all, he has two bodies now, and the Taiwei has just died suddenly, if he doesn't know how to be tolerant at this time, what kind of man is he?"

"Tolerate your ancestors!"

Seeing that this dog slave dared to act obediently after taking advantage of it, Jia Lian was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and he didn't care about it at the moment, so he threw his fist at Jiao Shun on the bridge of the nose.

Jiao Shun tilted his head back and avoided it easily.

Jia Lian raised his fist and punched again, but he dodged again.

It wasn't until Jia Lian punched the third time that Jiao Shun came first, grabbed his wrist, and easily prevented his fist from getting any further. Then he lifted his big left fist and aimed at his eye sockets. Shake a punch.

Jia Lian screamed in fright, stepped back a few steps, and finally regained her footing, only to realize that Jiao Shun was just scaring herself.

"Okay, it's time for us to go to the mourning hall. If not, the people in Dali Temple think we are planning something in secret, wouldn't it be unfair?"

With that said, Jiao walked out first by the way.

At the same time, the door of the inner room was closed tightly with a 'bang', and then there was the sound of the latch being locked.

No need to ask, the scene just now must have fallen into Wang Xifeng's eyes.

Jia Lian felt extremely angry, rushed forward and kicked the door hard, and then followed out angrily.

Seeing that the two entered the mourning hall one after the other, Jia Zheng, who was restless, finally heaved a sigh of relief. He had just heard that Wang Xifeng was pregnant, and he was really afraid that the two would fight in public.

Seeing that there was no difference between the two, he hurriedly called Jia Lian to his side to explain a few words, and told him to be cautious in his words and deeds in front of the officials of Dali Temple, and not to cause trouble.

Although Jia Lian was extremely wronged, how dare he make a mistake in front of the people of Dali Temple?Besides, his second master Lian is also a person with good face, and it is not something glorious to be a green hat turtle, so how could he publicize it to the outside world?

So I just lowered my head and obediently agreed, and at the same time, I felt regretful in my heart. If I hadn't bought an alternate donating official in the early years, but had been serious about running the officialdom, how could I have to accept this due to my background? like humiliation?

But it was already too late now, even if he worked hard, he might not be able to overcome this dog slave - besides, the emperor would die at some point, and the status of the Jia family's relatives would naturally expire at that time.

Although Jia Lian was so 'cute', Jia Zheng was still uneasy, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Jia Baoyu who was cowering beside Mrs. Wang, and raised his finger to him and said, "Baoyu, you also go to Tongzhou to pick up your uncle, brother." It’s good to have someone to take care of you on the two roads.”

How could Jia Baoyu have thought that an innocent disaster would come from the sky?

But cousin Wang Ren was not there, so it was reasonable for him as a nephew to welcome back his uncle's body, even Mrs. Wang couldn't stop him, so how dare he not?

So he had no choice but to agree listlessly, and he and Jia Lian became brothers and sisters in distress, and followed Jiao Shun and the officials of Dali Temple to Tongzhou overnight.
