Chapter 220

But the majesty, power, and rights would definitely be far inferior to before.

Why did other families look to the Jia family as their leader before?

Even the four great commandery princes gave them face!

Wasn't it because they had dual dukes!

With a single duke.

Naturally, they had no advantage compared to other dukes.

Now, if there was a powerful Earl as an in-law.

It would be to a large extent.

Compensate for the advantage of losing a duke's mansion!

Although it certainly wouldn't be as close as the Rongguo Prefecture.

And Xichun was only a concubine, and one with a guilty background.

Not a legitimate wife.

Naturally, it meant much less.

After all, a hundred concubines couldn't compare to the status of one legitimate wife.

But it was still many times better than just being a few maids sent out.

This was also a glimmer of light and comfort for Jia Mu in despair.

Otherwise, she wouldn't even dare to see her husband and the elders of the Jia family in the underworld after she died.

Facing Jia Mu's admonition, Xichun responded calmly.

She thought in her heart, "I would do it even if you didn't say so, as long as, as long as he truly treats me well."

Then Seeing Fengjie and the others all spoke up.

Surrounding Xichun and saying many things.

Seeing Fengjie congratulated Xichun, "You are so lucky to meet Wushuang Bo; this is truly your lucky day."

Xichun agreed very much when she heard this.

Only Lady Wang wanted to curse in her heart: "Lucky, my foot! If it weren't for this Jia Hui, the Ningguo Prefecture wouldn't have been finished, and she would still be a young lady of the Rongguo Prefecture, able to marry a powerful person as a legitimate wife in the future. Now, she has become a slave, giving herself to others as a concubine."

She believed that in the final analysis.

This was all Jia Hui's fault.

Well.

It was actually Jia Hui's fault.

But Jia Hui was righteous and confident: "If it weren't for me, your Jia family, including your Rongguo Prefecture, would have collapsed, and Xichun would have had to marry and become a nun. I just let the dirty Ningguo Prefecture collapse early. It can be considered saving Xichun; you should thank me instead!"

And for thoughts like Lady Wang's.

It wasn't that there weren't any in the Jia family.

Jia She viewed it this way.

Jia Mu actually had resentment toward Jia Hui in her heart.

But Daiyu and the others believed that Jia Zhen and his son brought it upon themselves!

Without Jia Hui.

Their confiscation would have happened sooner or later, right!

Jia Hui then said to the reluctant Hearing Tanchun and Yingchun: "We are leaving; after a while, if you want to see Xichun, just come to my mansion."

"Yes, Brother Hui, we will definitely go."

"Fourth Sister, we will go see you in a few days!"

Hearing Tanchun and Yingchun said.

As for Daiyu, the time she had known Xichun was too short.

And her personality was not the enthusiastic type.

Naturally, she didn't get along very well with Xichun.

Xichun remained calm.

She thought the relationship between them couldn't be that strong either.

So she just followed Jia Hui silently, along with Yuanyang, Ping'er, and the other girls.

Subsequently, Jia Hui didn't say much.

He bid farewell and left.

Before leaving, he thought of something.

He looked covertly at Xia Shouzhong.

He said righteously to the Jia family: "This time you must be grateful for the great grace of the Emperor and the Retired Emperor. Originally, the Ningguo Prefecture's rebellion was punishable by the extermination of nine clans, at least three clans! Now it is only mainly targeting the Ningguo Prefecture family! But the law has been shown mercy; the Emperor and the Retired Emperor are benevolent!"

After finishing.

He didn't care what the Jia family thought.

The person he really wanted to hear this was Xia Shouzhong.

To be precise.

It also included Feng Tang and Wu Youjue and his sister.

They were all confidants of the Emperor and the Retired Emperor.

He believed that his words would definitely be passed on to the ears of the two emperors word for word.

"Hmph, give myself a like!"

Jia Hui couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

After finishing.

He took the beauties and his subordinates and left.

Xia Shouzhong, Feng Tang, and Wu Youjue followed them out.

The entire Rongguo Prefecture saw them off to the door.

Jia Hui then said to Xia Shouzhong and the others: "Eunuch Xia, you go back and report to His Majesty and the Retired Emperor; there is no evidence of rebellion in the Rongguo Prefecture."

"As for the interrogation, let the Marquis of Yongping, who is a professional, do it."

"Alright, then Wushuang Bo, we will part ways here."

Xia Shouzhong smiled.

Subsequently, he got into the sedan chair and prepared to return to the palace, surrounded by little eunuchs.

Just as he was about to start the sedan chair.

He thought of something and suddenly lifted the curtain: "Wushuang Bo, you wouldn't mind if I come to have a cup of wedding wine on your wedding day, would you?"

Jia Hui was stunned, then smiled: "Of course you are welcome, there will be plenty of wine!"

"Alright, then I will definitely come!"

Xia Shouzhong showed a smile.

Subsequently, he put down the curtain and truly left.

Feng Tang looked at Jia Hui and smiled: "Truly a hero among the youth!"

After sighing.

He also said: "I will also go to drink the wedding wine when the time comes; if I happen to have official business and can't make it, my son Ziying will definitely visit!"

"Equally welcome!"

Jia Hui smiled.

Feng Tang did not belong to the founding faction; he rose during the later period of the Retired Emperor.

Although he had a good relationship with the founding faction.

It wasn't to the extent of wearing the same pair of pants.

There was no deep hatred between them either.

Therefore, being able to turn hostility into friendship.

Was what Feng Tang hoped to see.

Jia Hui didn't mind either.

More friends, more paths; he wasn't unaware of this principle. ===== CHAPTER 221 =====
