Quick Wear: I've never been a good person

Chapter 500: Welcoming Spring in the Red Mansion (2)

Later, when Jia Zheng got married, the old lady said that she didn't want her second son to be too far away from her and didn't allow him to move out.

Although Jia She was angry, didn't he finally compromise after the old lady's singing, recitation and acting?

But now that he dared to say something sarcastic, I knew there was probably no room for this matter.

So he asked directly, "General Jia, I think you called your brothers over, but you didn't want to make a big deal out of this.

I don’t know what your conditions are, please tell me.”

Jia She nodded, "Okay! I have one condition!"

The first and second wives must separate and move out!"

"no!"

The old lady immediately refused. If she really moved out, wouldn’t all her planning over the years be wasted?

But this time, Jia She was determined and directly retorted.

"Old lady, this time his second wife has committed a capital crime punishable by beheading.

You are dragging your feet and not dividing the family. Are you planning to have our eldest son tied to them and beheaded together with them?"

"Nonsense! Haven't you already negotiated with those peasants? How could anyone possibly know about this?"

"I did negotiate this time, but that doesn't mean he didn't do it."

Seeing that Jia She was not listening, the old lady immediately started singing, reciting, and fighting again.

He took Jia Baoyu in his arms and said, "My poor son, your uncle has a heart of stone!

You just want me, an old woman, to have no peace in my old age!

Okay, okay, you can divide the family or the property.

I, an old woman, don’t care anymore, and I can’t do anything about it!

Mandarin ducks, go!

Hurry up and pack my luggage. I'm going back to Jinling with my precious jade and won't be an eyesore here anymore!"

Naturally, the others began to persuade and beg the old lady to stay.

Jia She waited for the old lady to make a fuss for a while before he spoke slowly.

"Old lady, if I were you, I would never go through Jinling at this juncture!

Your good daughter-in-law has sold so much of Jinling’s sacrificial land, and those clansmen are having trouble finding a way to vent their anger!

If you really go back now, what good will it be like?"

In an instant, the old lady seemed to have lost all her energy. She stopped making trouble and stopped talking about returning to Nanjing.

Seeing this, Wang Ziteng had no choice but to continue asking, "Brother Jia, besides this one, is there any other way?"

"Yes! That means I, as the male head of Rongguo Mansion, will issue a divorce letter and send Wang Shi back to your Wang family!

I dare not allow this kind of evil to continue to stay in my Jia family and bring disaster to future generations!"

When Wang Ziteng heard this condition, he felt uneasy again.

If Zhenxiu goes back, what will happen to the other girls in the Wang family? Will the clan members still be widowed?

In the end, he had no choice but to discuss with Jia Zheng and ask him to agree to divide the family.

Of course Jia Zheng was unwilling to divide the family.

The family has not been divided, and he is now the second master of the Duke's Mansion.

If the family really split up, he would be nothing more than a fifth-rank official.

However, Jia She acted so reckless that he didn't even give the old lady face. What could they do to him?

Finally, after Jia Zheng discussed with the old lady, she agreed to divide the family property, but he wanted to take 70% of the property.

Jia She snorted coldly, "Why are you so shameless?

Ask all the aristocratic families, in which family does not the eldest son inherit the family business, and the second son gets 70% of the property?

I can only give you 30% because you are my brother!

Otherwise, just because your family member sold the sacrificial land, I can expel your entire family from the clan?"

However, when the old lady heard that her beloved son would not receive 70% of the property, she naturally disagreed.

But this time Jia She always stuck to his bottom line, and no matter how the old lady threw a tantrum, it was useless.

Filial piety can only suppress a filial son. If she really meets an unfilial one, she can do nothing about it.

Do you really want to sue your son for being unfilial?

How is that possible!

If that were the case, then her entire Jia family would no longer have to stay in the capital.

In the end, it was Wang Ziteng who persuaded Jia Zheng to agree to the 30% option.

There was no other way. If I didn't persuade him to split the family, Jia She would have to write a letter of divorce.

However, Jia Zheng has always been a person who never gets enough of taking advantage of others, so how could he give in so easily?

So he shamelessly set his sights on Wang Ziteng.

The meaning is very clear, let him make up the 20% gap.

Although Wang Ziteng was angry, he could do nothing about it.

In order to prevent Jia Zheng from divorcing his wife, he was about to agree.

At this time, Wang Xifeng, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Father, I have something to discuss with you. Please come with me."

The father and daughter were on the side, and Wang Xifeng told them everything Wang Shi had done to him.

Wang Ziteng was instantly furious. He only had one daughter in his life, Wang Xifeng.

Naturally, he doted on her, otherwise she would never have agreed to marry into the Jia family.

I just thought that my sister was here and could take care of her, but I didn't expect her to take care of her like this.

So Wang Ziteng said directly to Jia Zheng, "Since my brother-in-law wants to divorce his wife, then do so!

At worst, I can wait for her to come back and let her dress up as a Taoist priest to atone for her sins.

As a father, you don't care about Yuanchun in the palace and your current children.

As your uncle, I naturally have nothing to say."

Jia Zheng didn't know why Wang Ziteng changed his words immediately after the father and daughter whispered to each other, which caused him to lose so much.

They felt heartbroken at that moment, but there was nothing they could do. After all, Jia She was staring at their room with a covetous look.

It just so happens that with the clan leader Jia Zhen around, there aren't so many complicated things to do.

He just wrote the document for the division of the family property.

But the old lady started to act up again and said.

"I'm going to live with the second brother from now on! Big brother, give me 20% of the family fortune as my retirement money."

In an instant, everyone in the room looked at the old lady in surprise.

It has been a custom since ancient times to follow the eldest brother in retirement.

But I didn't expect that the old lady would go to such lengths for the second wife.

The saddest one was Jia She. Even though he was a scoundrel, he had never been unfilial towards his mother since he was a child.

But he didn't expect that at the last minute, his mother actually wanted to pull his face and step on it on the ground.

He closed his eyes tightly for a long time before he finally asked, "Are you serious, mother?"

Of course the old lady knew that her behavior was wrong, but in order to make Jia She compromise, she had no choice but to do so.

"Of course! But if you're willing to let your second brother live in the mansion with me after he separates from the family, that's another matter."

"No need!

Since we are dividing the family, it is better to do it cleanly.

If you must live with him, that's fine.

I will submit a memorial to the emperor to ask for his consent to divide the Rongguo Mansion into two.

As the wife of Duke Rong, you should still live in Rong Xi Tang. There is nothing wrong with your second son living with you out of filial piety.

And I had already been demoted to a lower rank and was not qualified to live in such a large Duke's Mansion.

It just so happens that if I open a gate from this side, my place will become a first-class general's residence in the future."
