Chapter 395 Goodbye You Family
Jia Cong waved his hand casually, "Everyone, stand up. We are all family, no need to be polite."
Having said that, Youshi led Jia Cong into the room.
The banquet had been set in the room. Jia Cong went straight forward and sat in the main seat. Old Lady You and a few others sat with him. Mrs. You was busy serving food and pouring wine for Jia Cong.
Jia Cong smiled and said, "You can sit down too. We are just having a family dinner together. There is no need to take care of us."
After Youshi sat down, Jia Cong said to You Lao Niang, "A few days ago, I said that I would invite you to a banquet. I didn't have any other intentions, but I wanted to tell you about the matter between me and Zhi'er."
You's maiden name was You Zhi, You's second sister was named You Ru, and You's third sister was named You Xi.
As soon as these words were spoken, Old Lady You, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You all changed their expressions slightly. Jia Cong's address was a little wrong. They were uncle and sister-in-law, so how could he address them like that?
When Youshi heard what Jia Cong said, her face turned a little red with embarrassment, but she didn't know how to start. She just sat beside Jia Cong with her head down and didn't say much.
"This... I don't know what the Marquis means by this!" Old Lady You held down Third Sister You who was about to speak, and spoke with a smile.
Jia Cong picked up a glass of wine and drank it, then said with a smile, "I think you all know how my sister-in-law was in the mansion before. Jia Zhen was not a good match, so my sister-in-law could only endure the hardship. Fortunately, God has eyes, and Jia Zhen was involved in treason, so he passed away just now."
Old Lady You's heart was pounding. She really didn't know anything about this matter. Before, she only heard that Jia Zhen and his son died suddenly of grief because of Jia Jing's death. Naturally, she didn't believe such a statement. Now, she heard that there were indeed other reasons.
"Fortunately, I am somewhat respectable in front of His Majesty, so although this matter is of great importance, it does not involve the mansion, and has nothing to do with my eldest sister-in-law and Keqing."
"Although Jia Zhen is the head of the Jia family, I would say that Jia Zhen's death would be ."
"It was by chance that I inherited the East Palace. After I took over the East Palace, my eldest sister-in-law has always respected me, and we get along well. Most of the things at home are also managed by my eldest sister-in-law."
"Given the status between my sister-in-law and me, I dare not easily have any thoughts about her. However, as we get along better and better, I have gradually developed some admiration for her."
"This is getting out of control! My eldest sister-in-law is dignified and prudent, and I hope to have such a virtuous wife."
"Although this is a little against etiquette, it is not a big deal. My sister-in-law is a widow, so it is only natural for her to remarry. She can't suffer for the rest of her life just for Jia Zhen. Besides, my sister-in-law has no children. Is she going to be alone like this until she dies of old age or vomits to death?"
"As a man, I am not someone who dares to do things but not to take responsibility. Since I have fallen in love with my elder sister-in-law, I must not let her be criticized for this. If I bring up money, status, etc., it would be a bit boring. However, since my elder sister-in-law has become mine, I will definitely find a way to give her an explanation in the future, and I also want my elder sister-in-law to give me a pair of children."
"Although you are not Zhi'er's biological mother or sister, she cares about you very much. I don't want any misunderstanding or estrangement between you because of this matter, so I asked you to come here and explain this matter to you."
"If you agree, just treat me as your son-in-law and see what I do. If you disagree, I won't force you. But if you make Zhi'er unhappy, I have plenty of ways to deal with it."
"Believe me, I'm not talking to you for any other reason, but because I don't want Zhi'er to have any secrets in her heart. Otherwise, with just a few lives, I can make you all disappear completely with just a glance. With my means, it's easy for me to create an accident."
Old Lady You was shocked by Jia Cong's words. To be honest, she didn't object to this matter. With a marquis backing her daughter, her family would live a much better life. With the wealth of the East Palace, even if he gave some rewards casually, it would be enough for them to spend.
Besides, her daughter was obviously willing. How could she not see that her daughter was smiling more than before? It was obvious that the marquis was not only attracted by her daughter's body, at least her daughter was very satisfied with her.
You Erjie reached out her hand and held Youshi's hand, her eyes showing comfort and some worry. You Sanjie, however, raised her eyebrows and immediately stood up and said, "Does what you said count?"
"If you really care about my sister, then give her a status. Otherwise, why would my sister follow you like a prostitute? If any rumors get out, you, a marquis, won't care, and you may even make fun of it. But how can my sister still live?"
"Are you the Third Sister You who quarreled with Qingwen? You Xi?"
Jia Cong's half-smile made Third Sister You feel a little scared. She was indeed very courageous and usually quite aggressive, but she depended on who she was facing.
How could a little girl like her not be afraid of a murderous marquis like Jia Cong?
Moreover, no matter how fierce she was, she was not a fool. Jia Cong's power was countless times greater than that of Jia Zhen before him. Just as Jia Cong said, if he was unhappy, he could kill her family with just a word. She didn't even have a chance to fight back! Could it be that she could still expect someone to cause trouble for a marquis for a few women like them?
"It's me!" Third Sister You said tremblingly, "Eldest Sister has already asked me to apologize to your maid, what are you waiting for!"
"That's right, women are as good as men!" Jia Cong laughed, "Find an opportunity some other day, and have another quarrel with Qingwen, and try to determine the winner."
“Ah…” Third Sister You exclaimed. She didn’t expect that Jia Cong didn’t want to punish her, but instead said such a thing.
"My word is my bond. Do you think you are worthy of my deceiving you?" Jia Cong said calmly, "Also, the dispute between you and Qingwen before, since your sister has spoken, let it go. But if you dare to stir up trouble again, I will tie you up and whip you!"
"No!" Third Sister You hurriedly took two steps back and covered her back with her hands, fearing that Jia Cong would really hit her. But in this way she felt that she had lost her momentum, so she could not help but glare at Jia Cong fiercely.
"How dare you, a cursed and vile creature, speak to the Marquis like that!" Old Lady You came to her senses and hurriedly grabbed Third Sister You.
Then, she smiled at Jia Cong and said, "My Lord, you are upright and honest. I admire you."
