Chapter 236: The Wronged Sister Feng
Seeing that her parents were silent, Wang Xifeng was furious, "It's already this late, and you're still hiding it from me. Ping'er, go ask Nanny Jin to come over."
Seeing that she could no longer conceal the truth, Wang Xifeng's mother finally told the truth.
After hearing the true situation of the Wang family, Wang Xifeng almost fainted from anger.
In the past few years, Wang Zisheng and his son have been fond of gambling and betting on prostitutes, especially gambling, so much money that they never had was enough to pay for it.
As a result, the family business fell into decline all of a sudden, and even at the end of the year, they couldn't even give out the annual gifts to each family.
Naturally, each family was unwilling to do so. After a big fuss, Wang Zishen took out some assets and simply divided them among the families. However, from then on, each family took care of themselves and had no connection with the main family, which was equivalent to a complete separation.
However, the main vein still has the majority of the remaining people, with a lot of property and farms. However, the father and son are playing bigger and bigger, and playing more and more extravagantly. Wang Zisheng even bought two flower boats just for his own fun. The father and son are tossing around like this all day long, no matter how big the family business is, it can't bear it.
The farms were sold one by one, and the shops were sold one by one. In the past two years, the main branch had no property left. How could there be any income? At the beginning, the other families lent some money to Wang Zisheng to support him, but there is a saying that goes, help in emergencies but not in poverty. How much money is enough for Wang Zisheng and his father to squander?
Therefore, in the past two years, even several other families have almost cut off contact with the Wang family.
Wang Xifeng felt a tightness in her chest, and then she fell down with a dizzy head!
"Grandma!" Ping'er was anxious and hurried over to help, "Go and invite the Marquis over."
When Jia Cong returned to Ningzheng Hall, Wang Xifeng had already woken up. Jia Cong was too lazy to pay attention to Wang Zisheng and his wife. If it weren't for Wang Xifeng's face, he might have driven them out.
Wang Zisheng and his father, which one of them is good? Wang Zisheng is a spendthrift than ordinary playboys, and Wang Ren is even more deserving of death. His family has also been supported by Wang Xifeng. However, in the original novel, after the Jia family was confiscated, Wang Ren, the uncle, directly sold Qiaojie to a brothel for silver. Jia Cong would never keep such an inhumane person.
"How are you?" Jia Cong looked at Fengjie worriedly.
Wang Xifeng didn't say anything, but just leaned on the couch and cried. What could she do when she met such a father and mother?
Ping'er came up and told Jia Cong the story in a low voice. After listening, Jia Cong comforted Wang Xifeng for a few words, then turned and spoke to Wang Zisheng and his wife.
"Since things have come to this, I will step in and make the decision for my second sister-in-law."
"When we return to Shenjing, you two can go with us. I will buy a house and find some property for uncle, so he will have food and money. Besides, Second Aunt doesn't have many close relatives in Shenjing, so we can take care of each other when we get there. If anything happens, Second Aunt will have someone to talk to."
"As for the money you owe to various families, as well as the money owed to the gambling houses and the brothels, don't worry about it. I will deal with it directly."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zisheng immediately smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, Lord Marquis, but there is no need to go to Shenjing. We can't be without people in Jinling. Besides, I am the head of the Wang family after all, and it would be inconvenient for me to go to Shenjing..."
Although he is the eldest brother, he is most afraid of his serious younger brother Wang Ziteng. In Jinling, the world is so big, who can control him? But when he arrives in Shenjing, with his daughter and brother taking care of him, wouldn't it be inconvenient for him to do anything?
"You must go!" Wang Xifeng came back to her senses and said through gritted teeth, "If Dad and Mom don't want to go, I will write to Second Uncle and ask him to come and pick you up."
Her mother quickly said, "Go, go, we will all listen to the Marquis."
Wang Zisheng opened his mouth but didn't dare to say anything else.
"Ping'er, please send the master and mistress of the Wang family out first. I will chat with my second sister-in-law!" Jia Cong said.
After Wang Zisheng and his wife left, Wang Xifeng threw herself into Jia Cong's arms and burst into tears! How proud was she? Her parents had embarrassed her so much, and I was afraid that all the noble ladies who came would laugh at her. Moreover, what was her family's fortune? It had only been a few years, but her father and brothers had lost it all. It was at least hundreds of thousands of taels of family property...
Jia Cong knew that Wang Xifeng was feeling wronged, so he just quietly held her in his arms and accompanied her without trying to persuade her much. It would actually be a good thing to let her vent her feelings at this moment.
After a while, Wang Xifeng was tired of crying and fell asleep in Jia Cong's arms.
It was not until the lights were on that Wang Xifeng woke up. She opened her eyes and saw herself lying in Jia Cong's arms as before she fell asleep, and Jia Cong's eyes were also looking at her.
"Why are you so stupid? Why are you holding me like this? Your arms must be sore." Wang Xifeng said with concern.
Jia Cong shook his head, kissed Wang Xifeng between her eyebrows, and then whispered, "Don't worry about your parents. Just one word can take care of it. After that, let them follow us to the capital. With Wang Ziteng to help of them and us around, they won't miss anything, and they won't suffer any grievances."
"After all, he is my Jia Cong's real father- in . How can I not take care of him?"
Wang Xifeng gave Jia Cong a cold look, but she felt happy in her heart.
"As for Wang Ren, you don't have to worry! That uncle is two or three years older than me. It might not be a bad thing for him to go out and explore the world."
Wang Xifeng nodded obediently, her eyes fixed on Jia Cong's face, unwilling to move away. Such Jia Cong was exactly what she expected, and she didn't want to be separated from him for a moment.
"Besides, with me, the champion marquis, here, who dares to look down on my little Feng'er? If there is anyone who is blind, I can surround the palace for Sister Bao and Sister Lin, and I can also overthrow the city of Jinling for my little Feng'er."
Wang Xifeng moaned and took the initiative to kiss Jia Cong.
…
Another day, Jia Cong was chatting with Jia You and others in the front hall when Jia Yun walked in. "My Lord, the chief steward of the Zhen family came to pay his respects and sent a message saying that he wanted to invite you to the Zhen family for a chat."
"The Zhen family's head steward?" Jia Cong asked indifferently.
"good!"
"Then just kick him out! Who among you would invite me? Does this steward think he is Xia Shouzhong, the steward of the six palaces, or Dai Quan, the prime minister?" Jia Cong said coldly.
The Zhen family and the Jia family are close relatives with a history of hundreds of years, and they would prepare gifts for each other during every festival.
But, no matter who it is, if he doesn't give me face, should I still approach him eagerly? Jia Cong could guess the reason for the Zhen family's behavior.
At that time, his troops surrounded the Nanyue Palace, and the Queen had to give up face to the Concubine Shu in the palace. You have to know that Concubine Shu is the daughter of the Zhen family, the legitimate daughter of Zhen Yingjia, and the Second Prince is the nephew of the Zhen family. He and Li Wei had fallen out, so how could the Zhen family treat him well?
