Chapter 211 Slapping Madam Wang
Baoyu was also drunk at this time. When he heard what this person said, he immediately said unconvincedly, "What's Xiao Fengxian? My sisters are all top-notch poets, calligraphers and painters."
"Hey, Master Bao, they say that seeing is believing, so tell us what poems your sisters have written, and let the brothers see them."
Baoyu thought for a moment and then recited a poem. Then he asked everyone proudly, "How is it? Can Xiao Fengxian do it?"
"This poem is certainly good, but who knows if Master Bao got it from someone else? If Master Bao can show us the poems written by the young lady in the mansion, then we will believe it. Otherwise, it must be Master Bao's nonsense that deceived us."
Baoyu slammed the table and said, "How could I deceive you?"
"Who can say for sure?"
"Well, isn't it just poetry? Mingyan, go back to my room and ask Xiren to bring over the "Peach Blossom Song" written by Lin Daiyu last year, so that these ignorant people can have a look at it."
Mingyan didn't dare to delay and immediately trotted back home.
…
Jia Cong was busy in the Beijing camp for half the night before returning home!
After a good night's sleep, he woke up early the next morning. Xiao Que was helping him wash up when he heard a series of noisy footsteps outside the door.
Before Qingwen could go out to greet her, Ping'er rushed in hurriedly.
"Ping'er..."
"Third Master, something bad has happened. Miss Lin is threatening to hang herself. She is now in the old lady's room. You should go over and take a look!" Ping'er interrupted Jia Cong and spoke urgently.
Jia Cong's expression changed, and without paying any attention to Ping'er and the little maids, he quickly walked to the front yard, jumped on his horse, and headed straight for the West Mansion.
At this moment, Jia Cong did not care about anything else and rode his horse directly into the inner house of the West Mansion and stopped outside Jia Mu's courtyard.
He dismounted and entered the yard, only to see many maids and servants in the yard.
"Get out of here!" Jia Cong shouted angrily.
When the servants saw Jia Cong coming, they ran out of the yard in panic.
Jia Cong strode into the main hall, and saw that everyone in the mansion was there except Jia Zheng who was on duty.
Grandmother Jia sat on a high couch with a gloomy face . Xing and Wang sat on her left and right respectively. Baoyu hid behind Mrs. Wang. Li Wan and Wang Xifeng, with a group of girls, surrounded Daiyu and whispered comfort to her, but Daiyu was sobbing.
"Third brother is here!"
Jia Cong walked up to Daiyu with a cold face, ignoring everyone else, and grabbed Daiyu's hand, "Sister Lin, just tell me what happened. I will take care of it even if it's too much."
Seeing Jia Cong suddenly come in, the expressions of Jia Mu and Wang Shi changed.
"Third brother!" Daiyu cried even louder when she saw Jia Cong.
"You monkey, don't you see me, an old woman?" Jia's mother scolded with a smile, "You should go to work. With me here, how can Yu'er be wronged?"
Jia Cong did not respond, but looked around at everyone, "Someone explain to me, explain what happened!"
The old lady's eyes tightened, and Wang held the armrest of the chair and said, "It's just a misunderstanding between their little girls. Is it worth it for you to do this?"
"This is in the old lady's courtyard, not in your Ningzheng Hall!"
"Okay! Okay!" Jia Cong sneered and shouted at Molan at the door, "Molan, tell Lu Feng to find out what happened! Anyone who dares to stop the investigation will be killed!"
"What are you doing?" Madam Wang shouted angrily, "Even if you are a marquis, do you have no hierarchy? Do you take the old lady, the first lady, and me seriously?"
Jia Cong let go of Daiyu and walked to Wang with narrowed eyes.
Jia Cong's gaze frightened Mrs. Wang, but she still said firmly, "What do you want to do..."
“Bang!”
Before he finished speaking, Jia Cong slapped Wang on the face and knocked her to the ground. "I am the head of the Jia family, personally conferred the title of First-Class Marquis by His Majesty. Jia Wang, when I give you face, I call you Second Madam. When I don't give you face, who are you?"
"Don't say it's you. Let Wang Ziteng come over. I'll see if he dares to talk to me like this."
"Ah, you... you unfilial..."
"If you dare to say one more word, I will immediately open the ancestral hall and ask Wang Ziteng to come over and expel you from the Jia Mansion. Do you think I dare or not?"
With just one sentence, Wang stopped talking abruptly!
"You little monkey, have you made enough trouble?" The others were already stunned by the scene, only the old lady came to her senses and said with a cold face.
"Old lady, that's not enough! I am a first-class champion marquis. My sisters are being bullied and want to commit suicide. How can I still have the face to face them? Today, no matter who is involved, I will never let them off easily!"
"Okay, okay... I, an old woman , can't control you anymore! Feng girl, you told him about the matter. It's just a misunderstanding. You can find a way to solve it. Why should you be so angry?"
Wang Xifeng looked at Lady Jia's expression, then came to Jia Cong and whispered the story.
It turned out that early this morning, some servants in the mansion went out to buy things, but they met some people pointing fingers at them! The servants of the Jia Mansion were puzzled. After asking, they learned that Baoyu and Xue Pan were drunk in the restaurant yesterday. Baoyu was provoked by someone and asked someone to take the poems written by Daiyu and let everyone read them. Moreover, Baoyu and his friends returned to the mansion, but the poems were not brought back.
The servants knew that this was a serious matter. In this era, unmarried women would not see men other than their blood relatives, and would not easily give away their own things. After all, exchanging tokens was not a pleasant thing to say.
It looked like just an ordinary poem, but for Daiyu, who had not yet married, it was almost like losing her virginity.
After the servants returned home, the truth could no longer be concealed. Daiyu, who came to pay her respects to Grandmother Jia early in the morning, heard the story. She was horrified and ran back to her room. Then, she thought that she might not be able to see her third brother again, and in her grief, she wanted to die to prove her innocence.
Fortunately, he was stopped by the female guard Qiudie, but things got out of hand and all the girls came over. Later, the lady asked someone to invite everyone here.
After hearing this, Jia Cong walked up to Daiyu with a gloomy face, gently held Daiyu's hand and said, "Sister Lin, I believe you! This is just a trivial matter, how can you slander my sister Lin? Don't worry, no matter how many waves there are outside, my third brother will stand in front of you."
Daiyu felt relieved when she heard this, but then she started crying again!
Jia Cong said a few more words of comfort, then turned and looked at Baoyu.
