Quick Wear: I've never been a good person

Chapter 495: Welcoming Spring in the Red Mansion (7)

On ordinary days, this family lived a luxurious life, but they were actually sucking the blood of his eldest wife and living a life of luxury.

At this moment, he had lost his appetite and said, "No, sir, I have something to go out first."

"Do you want me to follow you?"

Seeing that Jia She looked unhappy, the servant asked cautiously.

"No, no, don't bother me, sir."

Jia She threw up his sleeves and went out angrily, leaving the servants in the room looking at each other in bewilderment.

When the news reached Mrs. Xing, she thought that he had fallen in love with another girl somewhere, but was unable to get her for the time being, so he was very angry.

But she never had a say in Jia She, so she could only sigh softly and continue to count her belongings.

Anyway, she has no children in this life and cannot win the heart of her husband.

Only these yellow and white things can comfort my empty heart.

On the other side, Jia She walked out of the mansion leisurely. Everyone was used to it, so no one paid any attention to it.

Jia She didn't show up until he was far away from the mansion gate. Then he turned a corner and entered an alley.

Xiaojuzi had been staring at Jia She since early morning and was very surprised to see him acting suspiciously.

"Your Highness, what is he doing so furtively?"

"Don't worry about what he does, just watch him."

Shuangshuang was dressing up and preparing to pay her respects to the old lady.

Little Orange was very excited. He didn't even read the storybook and just followed Jia She wholeheartedly.

On the other side, Jia She took many turns until he was sure that no one was following him. Then he came to the carriage shop and rented a carriage.

He threw a silver ingot weighing one or two taels to the driver and said something.

"Go to Chenjiazhuang, a suburb of Beijing."

The carriage traveled for more than an hour before arriving at the entrance of Chenjiazhuang.

"Master, we have arrived at Chenjiazhuang."

Jia She lifted the curtain and took a look, then got out of the carriage and sent the driver away.

He stopped to look, then walked onto a small path nearby, bypassing the bustling crowd at the entrance of the village and heading towards the end of the village.

Until I saw several identical adobe houses, I came to the first one and gently knocked on the courtyard door.

A five or six-year-old boy with a pigtail opened the door and asked in surprise when he saw Jia She in a glittering brocade suit.

"who are you looking for?"

Seeing such an innocent and lively child, Jia She couldn't help but smile.

"Excuse me, is this Jongdae's home?"

The little guy excitedly said, "You know my grandpa!"

Then he shouted loudly inside, "Grandpa, someone is looking for you."

An old man who walked with a slight hunchback came out and answered.

"Who?"

Then he saw Jia She coming in with his grandson.

Instantly shouted in surprise, "You you you are..."

"Brother Zhong, if you have anything to say, let's go inside and talk."

Jia She interrupted him.

"Yes, let's go in first, let's go in first.

Ping'an, go find your other grandfathers and tell them that relatives are coming to your grandfather's house.

Then you can go to Second Grandfather's house and play with Zhuzi and the others."

When he heard that he could go out and play, the little kid immediately responded and ran out.

When there were only two people in the room, Zhongda suddenly knelt on one knee.

"Uncle Jia, why are you here?"

Jia She immediately helped the man up before he completely knelt down.

"Brother Zhong, don't do this!

I said back then that you will no longer be slaves, but my good brothers!"

"Yes, yes, brother, yes, brother! Then I wonder what brings you here?"

"Hey, I shouldn't have disturbed your peaceful life.

But this time I am in a real life-or-death situation and have no choice but to come here to ask for help."

"Uncle Jia, what are you talking about?

If it weren't for your generosity back then, how could we be living a stable life now?

So if you have anything to say, just tell me!"

At this time, five white-haired old men came in one after another from outside the courtyard gate.

They were clearly hunched over before entering the yard, but once inside, they immediately straightened their backs like Chen Da. How could they not look so old and frail as before?

"Brother, what relatives are coming that makes you so serious?"

“Yes, brother, I finally caught a fish.

He was about to catch it, but Xiao Ping'an yelled and destroyed it."

The others all laughed and said, "Come on, you've never caught a fish in your life, and you're blaming others for your safety."

When a few people entered the room, they immediately shut up when they saw Jia She.

"Uncle Jia?"

They all hurriedly saluted, but Jia She grabbed the two in front.

"Brothers, please don't be so polite. Jia She came here today to ask for a favor!"

After everyone sat around the table, Jia She told them the purpose of his visit.

“I heard rumors a while ago that Second House member Zhou Rui was selling my Jia family’s sacrificial land in Jinling.

I don't know whether the news is true or not, and I have no evidence.

So I would like to ask one of my brothers to help me go to Jinling and check whether it is true.

If it is true, please bring the evidence back."

The old men were immediately filled with righteous indignation and cursed the second branch as a bunch of rats!

"When they asked you to give up the main courtyard, I told you that their wolfish ambitions should not be tolerated, but you insisted on saying that filial piety cannot be violated.

Now, you have fulfilled your filial duty, but they are ready to dig up your roots!"

"Yes, yes, what Second Brother said is all my fault. Jia She is really ashamed!"

“Okay, what’s the point of saying whose fault it is now?

Tell me, who wants to go to Jinling?"

Everything Jongdae said at this moment was full of authority.

Several people shut up instantly and considered it carefully.

After a while, the third brother said.

"My second son happens to have a shop in Jinling. I'll send my eldest brother over there later and have them take people to investigate thoroughly."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and Jia She continued.

"Not only are we investigating the sacrificial fields, but I also heard that Zhou Rui has been lending money at high interest rates in Nanjing and has even caused a death. We need to investigate that as well!"

"What? They dare to take advantage of something as life-threatening as this?!"

Now several people were not calm anymore.

"Alas, it is a misfortune for our family!

They were smart and did not do these things in the capital, but in Nanjing.

If I hadn't overheard it, I wouldn't have discovered it until the day of disaster."

At this time, Boss Zhong's face changed, "If it's as you said, then you are in great danger in the mansion?

Do you want to send a few people to protect you?"

Jia She nodded, "I won't be polite to you, it's really difficult to handle it alone.

I originally wanted to find a few loyal people, but there was not a single one.

There are a few personal servants, but they have also been soaked in the benefits.

If you really need to ask them for help, you may not know who they will help you.”

“Okay, we have people, not to mention this year, your sisters-in-law have all given birth.

We also followed the previous rules and went to the dilapidated temple to pick up some orphans with good qualifications and bring them back for training."
