Chapter 226 Mrs. Wang’s Anger
Peace returned to the two mansions, but everyone knew that through this incident, Jia Cong's status had changed again unconsciously.
In fact, many people were surprised to find that under the dominance of this Third Master, even their ancestors had to retreat.
Everyone in the two mansions knew about the Queen's rewards to Baochai and Daiyu, but most people kept their mouths shut and dared not talk about it.
These past few days, both the old lady and Mrs. Wang were in a bad mood. Some shrewd people naturally knew the reason.
Originally, Wang was inclined to marry Baochai to Baoyu, and she even promoted the idea of a perfect match in the mansion. After Yuanchun was promoted to the Minister of Fengzao Palace, Wang naturally became more ambitious, waiting for her daughter to be crowned as a concubine one day, so that Baoyu could marry a daughter from a wealthy family. However, he never gave up on Baochai, after all, the Xue family was still very wealthy.
However, with the rise of Jia Cong, especially after Jia Cong was successively granted titles and was awarded the title of Guanjun Marquis, and took charge of the East Palace and became the head of the Jia family, he suddenly surpassed Baoyu. Baoyu, who was originally a hot commodity in Aunt Xue's eyes, immediately became worthless, and Jia Cong obviously became her better choice.
What was most rare was that Jia Cong had always had feelings for her daughter, so she was naturally happy to facilitate this opportunity.
It was precisely because of the change in mentality that some minor frictions arose between the sisters, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue. However, after all, everything was not clear yet, so they did not completely fall out and maintained their dignity.
The old lady naturally knew about Wang's thoughts . However, she looked down on the Xue family, a royal merchant family, and was more inclined to pair the two Yu'ers together.
One is her most beloved grandson, and the other is her most beloved orphaned daughter. If they could be a pair, it would be perfect for the old lady.
Precisely because of their different ideas, there is a secret rivalry between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Lady Jia and Lady Wang. However, they fight each other back and forth, and most of the time they fight in secret without putting things on the surface.
Just like why did Mrs. Wang move Qingwen out of Baoyu's room and give her to Jia Cong? In addition to giving Jia Cong a beautiful and seductive look and because she herself did not like such a seductive woman, the biggest reason was that Qingwen was given to Baoyu by the old lady.
Although Xiren was originally someone close to the old lady, she quickly surrendered to her and became Mrs. Wang's own person. Therefore, Mrs. Wang had a good impression of Xiren, but she disliked Qingwen, who always had a strong personality but refused to surrender.
As for Baoyu, Baochai and Daiyu's own thoughts, neither the old lady nor Mrs. Wang obviously cared. In this era, parents' orders and matchmaker's words were emphasized, and the parties involved had no right to speak or choose. Even if Baoyu was a phoenix egg in the mansion, it could not change this.
However, before the fight between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law was decided, Jia Cong, who had no moral principles, directly stole the house.
The Empress gave the reward personally, not only bringing the matter to light, but also making it clear that she was optimistic about both Daiyu and Baochai marrying Jia Cong.
This is like taking advantage of the two people's inattention and giving each of them a big bag. You can imagine how much damage it does to the two of them.
The old lady was fine. After all, she had experienced a lot, and it was not a marriage granted. She just had to pretend to be stupid and wait for Lin Ruhai to return to Beijing to discuss the marriage directly. After all, even if it was the royal family, could they still control the marriage of their subjects? As for the reward, you didn't say it clearly at the beginning, so no one knew what it meant?
As long as it is a fact, can the royal family still destroy the Jia family?
But compared to the old lady, Mrs. Wang was almost gnashing with hatred.
If killing is not against the law, she would definitely chop Jia Cong into 180 pieces and eat them vigorously to relieve her hatred! In the old lady's room, Jia Cong slapped her, the housekeeper's wife, in the face and made her lose face. Even though no one dared to mention this matter in front of her, she still felt that everyone looked at her with strange and ironic eyes.
In just these two or three days, almost all the servants in her yard were punished.
In addition to the previous search and confiscation of servants in the mansion, her dowry Zhou Rui's wife had her property confiscated and was thrown into prison, as well as the incident with Baochai this time, making it impossible for her to suppress the anger in her heart.
Not to mention, Jia Cong not only beat her, but also scolded Baoyu, and also caused Baoyu to be punished by Jia Zheng. Mrs. Wang almost wanted to eat Jia Cong alive.
"Lowly bastard, shameless bitch!" Mrs. Wang cursed harshly. Besides Jia Cong, the other person she hated was Daiyu.
"Just like your shameless bitch mother, if you hadn't seduced my Baoyu, why would my Baoyu be punished?"
"It's just a piece of calligraphy, is it worth it to commit suicide like this? I think you are deliberately trying to cause trouble for Baoyu and embarrass him."
In Mrs. Wang's opinion, if Daiyu had not made a scene and tried to commit suicide, but had simply ignored the matter or silently endured it, there would not have been this incident.
Therefore, Daiyu is the culprit of this incident, and Jia Cong is an unfilial son who relies on his status. This pair of bitches makes Mrs. Wang hate them so much.
After thinking for a while, Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and stood up. Jin Chuan'er hurriedly followed and asked, "Madam, where are we going?"
Originally this was just a normal sentence, but Mrs. Wang turned around and slapped Jin Chuan'er in the face!
“Bang!”
"You little bitch, do you need to interfere with me wherever I go? Or do you think I am so embarrassed that I cannot go out and can only hide in this yard?"
"Madam, please spare me!" Although Jin Chuan'er felt aggrieved, she did not dare to talk back and simply knelt down and begged for mercy.
Mrs. Wang felt more and more angry, and stepped forward and kicked Jin Chuan'er, "You are in my room, who told you to wear colorful clothes? Who are you trying to hook up with? Get out of here, I despise your coquettish look."
Jin Chuan'er was filled with grievances and could only run away crying.
Mrs. Wang went straight out of the door. Although Yuchuan'er felt sorry for her sister, she didn't dare to say much at this moment. She could only follow Mrs. Wang with Caiyun.
The group left the yard and headed straight for Lixiangyuan!
As soon as I entered the courtyard, a little maid came forward and saluted, "Meet the Second Madam."
Mrs. Wang ignored her and walked straight towards the main hall. The little maid hurried forward to lead the way and help open the curtain.
When I entered the main hall, I saw Aunt Xue sitting and drinking tea!
Everyone has different joys and sorrows. Compared with Madam Wang, Aunt Xue has been so happy these days! The Queen herself gave the reward and showed her favor for her daughter and Cong. This time, she, the son-in-law, couldn't escape.
