Chapter 209

Upholding the law impartially.

He would not offer any opinion.

Ordinary matters were easy enough to handle.

But when it involved treason, he himself could not cover for them!

Wu Youjue put on an act again, saying respectfully and humbly to Jia Mu, "In reply to the Old Matriarch, we are here under imperial decree to investigate the theft case at the Military Horse Department and the treason case!"

Although they had already anticipated it!

Jia Mu, Lady Wang, and the others still trembled all over!

Jia Zheng was so frightened his face turned paper-white, and with his legs shaking, he hurriedly spoke up: "Our Rongguo Prefecture is loyal to the Emperor and loves our country; it is absolutely impossible for us to be involved in the Military Horse Department theft case or the treason case..."

"Yes, yes, yes, absolutely impossible."

Jia Mu and the others echoed him repeatedly.

Wu Youjue laughed in a low voice and said, "I naturally believe you, but the necessary procedures and rules must still be followed."

After finishing, he looked at Jia Hui.

He signaled that the one in charge was him, and that he himself was merely assisting from the side!

Jia Mu and the others had no choice but to look at Jia Hui again.

Jia Hui said directly, "Go ahead, turn everything upside down, and search carefully!"

"Yes!"

Zang Ba immediately led his men down.

Wu Siyue also led the Inner Guards to proceed.

Seeing this, Xia Shouzhong nodded to the group of eunuchs under his command.

And Feng Tang did the same with his own troops.

Four groups of people joined forces to conduct the audit.

Seeing this, Jia Mu and the others immediately felt like they were sitting on pins and needles, extremely nervous.

Even though they knew there were no issues.

They were still worried.

At this moment, Jia Mu thought of her eldest son, Jia She, who had once been a study companion to the former Crown Prince, and her heart was filled with terror: "This wicked obstacle, could he really have participated in it!"

She even deeply suspected it.

That Jia She was the mastermind of the treason case!

After all, he was one of the heads of the Jia family, and even Jia Zhen of the Ningguo Prefecture was not of as high a seniority as him.

The other Eight Dukes and their ilk would surely take him as their leader!

Therefore, Jia Mu was worried.

That Jia She wanted to take revenge for the former Crown Prince!

This left Jia Mu in a state of extreme fear!

Jia Zheng was also one of the few people in the family who knew the truth.

So he was also very terrified, "Eldest Brother, please do not do anything foolish."

Just when they were extremely uneasy.

Jia Hui, while drinking tea, had the leisure to chat with Fengjie, the manager of the household: "I'm starving, is there any delicious food?"

The entire Jia household was instantly speechless!

They didn't even know what to say!

However.

In the eyes of women like Fengjie and Li Wan.

His imposing manner was displayed to the extreme!

So majestic!

Their Jia family were the ones awaiting judgment.

Yet Jia Hui was like a judge sitting high above, potentially deciding the fate of their entire family and clan!

Isn't this the ultimate manifestation of majesty, power, and status?

Fengjie thought to herself, "This is what a real man, a true man, should be like!"

Thinking this.

She subconsciously glanced at Jia Lian, who was standing to the side, acting timid and terrified!

【145】 Jia Prefecture beauties are yours to choose, Jia Mu and Fengjie send more beautiful maids.

Fengjie looked at Jia Lian, and because of Jia Hui, the contrast was stark!

Before, no matter how she looked at him, he was pleasing.

Now, for some reason, no matter how she looked at him, he was an eyesore!

A scent of powder and rouge!

This left Fengjie feeling somewhat disappointed inside: "Sigh, marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. What am I thinking now? Even if I regret it, it's too late."

Ping'er at this moment gently called out to her by her ear.

"Second Mistress, the Marquis is speaking to you."

Ping'er, who reminded Fengjie, was naturally noticed by Jia Hui.

Today she was wearing a tender yellow long dress, similar in color to Fengjie's golden yellow.

Only, she used a red ribbon to wrap around her slender waist.

It was unknown how it was tied, but it pinched a sense of allure out of her dignified appearance.

Ping'er was beautiful, and extremely beautiful at that.

Otherwise, Jia Lian would not have been unable to forget her.

And even fallen out with Fengjie because of it.

Though dressed luxuriously, apart from some rouge on her lips, her face was plain and simple, without much makeup!

Just a clean, elegant, and lovely melon-seed face.

Making people feel warm and intimate toward her.

She did not have the aggressive aura that Fengjie had.

This allowed the mistress and servant to complement each other.

Compared to Fengjie, who dared to love and hate and was somewhat vicious.

Jia Hui had quite a bit of affection for this Ping'er, perhaps even more.

She was an extremely clever and refined girl.

Although she was Fengjie's confidante and had to help Fengjie manage affairs, she was a very good person with a kind heart, often doing good deeds behind Wang Xifeng's back.

Ping'er noticed Jia Hui's gaze, and her heart trembled slightly.

Facing him, having heard countless stories of his majesty recently.

She naturally could not remain indifferent.

However, she was Fengjie's dowry maid, and in theory, she was also Jia Lian's person.

So naturally, it was not easy to think too much.

After being reminded by Ping'er.

Fengjie realized she had actually been distracted.

What was she thinking about?

Her face felt slightly hot.

Heavily made up, she hurriedly said respectfully to Jia Hui, "Marquis, please wait a moment, I will arrange it immediately."

"Hmm, make plenty, my men are hungry too."

"Yes, yes!"

Good heavens, he really wasn't standing on ceremony at all.

Fengjie had no choice but to agree.

Then she hurriedly ordered people to tell the kitchen staff to prepare a large amount of food. ===== CHAPTER 210 =====
