Chapter 510: Jia Rui, the Unaware of the Dangers
The old lady beside her also smiled and said, "Since Dai Ru and Dai Xiu have agreed, you, Feng Lazi, can rest assured? Just go ahead and do it. Before leaving, Cong'er also told me, old lady, that this garden must be repaired to be decent and beautiful. The royal family even asked the second son to be in charge of this matter. Even the Imperial Observatory came to see it . It is definitely not something to be taken lightly."
"Once the repairs are complete, the Emperor and Empress might come to take a look. As long as it's in accordance with the rules, you can do it."
Wang Xifeng heard this and said, "With the support of the old lady and the two old masters, Feng'er will go ahead and make arrangements."
After chatting with the old lady for a while, Wang Xifeng left Lady Jia's courtyard.
"Grandma, how should we accommodate these people?"
Wang Xifeng raised the corner of her mouth and sneered, "Even these misfits wouldn't feel comfortable giving them proper jobs. Those who are somewhat ambitious and capable have all gone to the army with Brother Cong. These cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death are staying at home, and they still want to beg for money from me, the Second Madam? I'm blinding their hearts!"
"Tell Feng'er to assign them some miscellaneous tasks, and as for money, one or two taels per month will be enough!"
As they were talking, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.
Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Isn't this Master Rui?"
This person was none other than Jia Rui. It was not easy for him to enter the inner courtyard with his status, but today, when he came with Jia Dairu and the other two, Grandmother Jia allowed him to come in and wait in the hall beside the hanging flower gate.
Jia Rui narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Sister-in-law is so famous now that she doesn't even recognize me? If not me, who else could it be?"
"It's not that I don't recognize him, I just didn't expect Mr. Rui to be here."
"Isn't this a destiny between me and my sister-in-law?"
Jia Rui's life fully demonstrated the saying that what you can't get is the best! A few years ago, because he provoked Wang Xifeng, he was severely beaten by Wang Xifeng's female guards and was bedridden for two or three months. However, the more this happened, the more Jia Rui could no longer control himself, because of the bright and attractive Feng Lazi.
Especially after Wang Xifeng followed Jia Cong, she was in exceptionally good health both physically and mentally, and even more beautiful than before. Jia Rui felt very uncomfortable when he saw her from afar a few times.
However, he also knew that given his status, if he provoked Feng Lazi again , he would be beaten to death. So, even though he was restless, he didn't dare to say anything nonsense in front of Wang Xifeng.
However, just now he accidentally overheard the conversation between Wang Xifeng and Ping'er in the corridor.
After hearing such a big news, Jia Rui was filled with hatred, but at the same time, a thought came to his mind! Why are you, Wang Xifeng, pretending to be a chaste and heroic woman in front of me? Aren't you just hanging around with your brother-in-law behind my back? Moreover, if I don't take advantage of such a big handle, wouldn't it be a waste?
He believed that he dared not provoke Jia Cong. After all, Jia Cong was no longer the naughty boy in the clan school who allowed him to be beaten and scolded. However, could Wang Xifeng dare to publicize such a thing?
"Is it fate?" Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows. "Master Rui probably didn't get a good beating last time! He wants to stay in bed for another two or three months!"
Jia Rui chuckled, "I'd like to visit my sister-in-law at her home. It would be nice to lie on her bed for two or three months!"
“Bang!”
Wang Xifeng slapped Jia Rui in the face, "You're flirting with the Second Madam, don't you know who you are?"
Seeing this, Ping'er hurried forward to protect Wang Xifeng behind her, feeling a little anxious. There were a lot of things going on in the garden today, and they were in the mansion, so even Molan was sent out to deal with things. If she had known this would happen, she should not have let Molan leave her side.
Jia Rui touched his slapped face, but he didn't care. "Who did you want to donate the incense money to just now? Why are you pretending to be a chaste woman in front of Master Rui? You are just a foster brother-in-law. Does that mean that Master Rui is not your brother-in-law?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Xifeng and Ping'er's faces changed. How could he have heard what they just said?
"Sister-in-law, if you and Master Rui are also happy, some rumors must not be spread out. Otherwise, it would be hard to say that the second wife of Rongguo Mansion is supporting her younger brother-in-law."
Wang Xifeng gritted her teeth. "Well, you dare to threaten me, Second Madam? Go ahead and spread the word. Second Madam, I want to see who's fearless enough to believe such gossip! There's no evidence anyway. Don't forget, if it were just me, Second Madam, it would be fine, but since this involves the Marquis, no one in the mansion would dare to say a word!"
After saying that, she glanced at Jia Rui with a pair of sharp eyes, "Uncle Rui, I, the Second Madam, will remember what happened today! Let's see what happens!"
Watching Wang Xifeng and Ping'er hurried away, Jia Rui was a little stunned. This didn't seem to be what he thought! Shouldn't she have been worried and afraid and just obeyed him? Why did they fall out so directly?
"Hmph, since you don't listen to Master Rui, then don't blame Master Rui! Even if that person has great power, he has never been at home. How can he do anything to Master Rui? Master Rui has you, the phoenix bird, ready to be eaten."
Wang Xifeng and Ping'er hurried away. Ping'er whispered, "Second Madam, what should we do?"
"If something were to get out, wouldn't Second Madam and Third Master..."
"What can we do?" Wang Xifeng paused and spoke sharply, "Let alone whether Jia Rui would dare to do it, even if the news did get out, Second Mistress would have divorced Lian Er long ago. What does it have to do with others?"
After saying this, Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and thought to herself, "This beast, he still doesn't learn his lesson after one lesson! If that's the case, I'll make sure you die at the hands of Second Mistress someday. Then he'll naturally know my methods, humph!"
Jia Rui was blinded by lust and forgot that Wang Xifeng was not someone to be trifled with.
In the past two years, after following Jia Cong, she had become a little indifferent and didn't want to do anything shady that would damage her and Jia Cong's good karma. But Feng Lazi was still Feng Lazi after all. If she were a woman in the harem like Keqing, she would have had to hide. But now that she had fallen into the hands of Wang Xifeng, how could she care about half a life?
Last time , it was out of respect for Old Master Dai Ru that Jia Rui was spared. Otherwise, with Molan's methods, wouldn't it be normal to punish him?
It's a pity that Jia Rui was ignorant of the danger and actually thought that he could control Feng Lazi. His fate, which had been escaped, was heading back to the original trajectory .
…
On the second morning, with the sound of long horns and the trembling of horse hooves, Lu Feng and Teng Wu, leading their cavalry, rushed out of the camp gate like two giant dragons...
On the opposite side, the deafening sound of war drums also sounded, and huge military formations pressed forward.
