Chapter 303

The Earl of Zhongqin watched in terror and hurriedly signaled his family to retreat.

They were thoroughly terrified of Jia Hui.

Yuan Yuan Yuan Wenshao was incomparably horrified; he swore that from this day forward, he would never again harbor thoughts of provoking or retaliating against Jia Hui.

He wished he could take a detour to avoid him.

Now they finally understood the reasoning behind Gu Yankai's early departure.

While it was true he felt his son was a disappointment and had given up on Gu Gu Gu Tingye, it now appeared he also couldn't bear to watch him be punished!

Pity the hearts of parents everywhere!

Although the Earl of Zhongqin's family had slipped away,

the younger Lady Qin and the others watched all of this with a mix of excitement and fear!

【320】 Leisurely drinking tea, the sickly eldest daughter of the Xu Mansion meets her third sister.

The younger Lady Qin and her son were Love Love Like this.

Gu Gu Gu Tingye's older brother, Gu Gu Gu Tingyu, was much the same.

Because Gu Gu Gu Tingyu was the eldest son of the Marquis and born to the first wife, the Great Lady Qin, he should have inherited the title and become the man with the most say in the Gu family.

But Gu Gu Gu Tingyu had a poor fate; his mother, the Great Lady Qin, was frail and sickly, and having barely managed to give birth to him, he was left with a body that required constant medication.

In a family of military lineage, Gu Gu Gu Tingyu was more Love Love Like a withered flower; no matter how outstanding or excellent he was, in such a family, being unable to practice martial arts meant his roots had undoubtedly been severed.

Therefore, he resented his second younger brother immensely.

Watching this scene,

he gradually understood

why he resented his brother.

It wasn't actually because of the death of his birth mother, the Great Lady Qin, nor was it because of the younger Lady Qin's instigation; it was because of jealousy!

He was jealous of his brother every moment, watching Gu Gu Gu Tingye jump around, strong and healthy, while he himself could only stay in this square room, with no one to care for him.

He was jealous that Gu Gu Gu Tingye made mistake after mistake, yet Gu Yankai always apologized for him repeatedly, while he himself didn't even have the opportunity to speak a single word to his father.

So, seeing Gu Gu Gu Tingye's miserable state at this moment,

he felt only an inexplicable, deep excitement and satisfaction!

It could be said

that at this moment, they both feared Jia Hui

and were grateful to him!

Jia Hui had actually done a good deed, hadn't he?

I don't know how much time passed.

For Gu Gu Gu Tingye, every second felt Love Love Like a year!

His entire head was covered in cold sweat,

as if he had been in a sauna.

Half his life was gone.

Fortunately, the executioner was a professional.

His hand was very steady.

The tattoo went smoothly and was not crooked.

Otherwise,

he would have had to have the characters tattooed again on his left cheek,

until they were clear and unmistakable.

Gu Gu Gu Tingye's punishment was complete.

Besides the two characters tattooed on his face,

it was also rubbed with ink and charcoal, marking him as a criminal.

From now on, it could never be washed off.

Unless he scraped his entire face off!

Unfortunately,

the tattooing was not just on the surface,

but deep enough to reach the facial bone!

Unless he didn't want to live,

otherwise, these characters

would be with him forever and could never be shaken off.

Seeing that the dust had settled, Jia Hui nodded with satisfaction!

The reason he watched so closely

was to avoid the kind of "moth" that often appears in movies and novels.

Where the protagonist is clearly in a desperate situation,

but as soon as the big villain leaves,

they encounter a counter-kill.

With the protagonist's halo activated, various reasons always allow them to escape disaster.

So Jia Hui, in his capacity as a transmigrator,

sat in charge of the scene,

forcefully suppressing the other party's luck and halo!

Now that his goal was achieved,

after everyone was dragged away,

Jia Hui and Xun Baishui exchanged a glance,

and then walked together to a quiet room.

"Many thanks to the Prefect of Jingzhao just now."

"This is one thousand taels."

He took out a portion of the silver Gu Yankai had just given him from his robes and gave it to Xun Baishui.

Everyone present gets a share.

Since the other party was so cooperative,

he should be given some.

Moreover, Jia Hui thought highly of this Xun Baishui.

In his heart, he was still thinking about the man's sister and niece.

Therefore,

sharing a bit of money was reasonable and appropriate.

Regarding this money,

Xun Baishui hesitated before accepting it.

Although he was loyal to the country,

a loyal official does not necessarily mean a clean official,

nor does it mean he wouldn't take money.

In reality, some loyal officials are only loyal to protect their own or their family's vested interests, or to pursue stability and the Love Love Like.

If you want someone to be loyal, you have to give them a reason to be loyal.

In the original work, part of the reason for his loyalty was that his sister and nephew were members of the royal family,

sharing a common destiny with the Great Great Great Qian.

Now, that is no longer the case.

Therefore, Xun Baishui did not resist taking the money.

He was just thinking

that as a subordinate official, taking money might not be very good.

He even planned to bribe Jia Hui...

"This Earl Marquis Marquis Wushuang is really particular about doing things."

Muttering in his heart, Xun Baishui still chose to accept it.

Because this is a way to bring each other closer.

A sign of being in the same boat!

If you don't understand this truth in the officialdom.

If you want to be an honest official, you will be collectively ostracized by other powerful nobles!

Therefore, honest officials Love Love Like Hai Rui are absolutely rare.

Rarer than giant pandas!

Besides temptation.

It also has to do with the environment.

In fact.

Jia Hui highly approves of a sentence from Bao Longxing's father.

To be a corrupt official, you must be cunning, and to be an honest official, you must be even more cunning!

If you want to uphold justice and adhere to benevolence and morality, you cannot defeat those cunning officials!

It is too difficult to be black and white in the officialdom.

Hmm.

However, Jia Hui is not an honest official or a good official.

And he has never had such thoughts.

Seeing Xun Baishui sensibly accept it.

He nodded with satisfaction.

"Drink tea when you have time!"

After speaking, he planned to leave with Cheng Yu.

"Certainly, certainly, please come to my residence as a guest when you have time, Marquis."

"Or I will visit you another day to congratulate you on your promotion!"

"Good!"

Jia Hui agreed readily.

Thinking.

He couldn't wait to find an opportunity to have more contact with your beautiful sister and nieces.

But there is no rush for a moment.

Therefore, he soon said goodbye.

Watching him leave.

Xun Baishui looked at the money in his hand and smiled slightly.

Although he offended Gu Yankai and the others today.

But he made friends with Jia Hui, who was more powerful and influential.

And he got money.

He made a big profit!

Therefore, there was no sign of unhappiness at all.

He soon went to find his sister and the others.

Upon returning, he heard his sister and niece excitedly discussing how handsome and good-looking Jia Hui was and how domineering he was just now!

And his nephew was shouting: "I must learn martial arts well from my master and surpass Earl Marquis Marquis Wushuang!"

Taking this as a goal to strive for!

All three were obsessed with Jia Hui.

This made Xun Baishui not know what to say.

Finally, he could only sigh, "Earl Marquis Marquis Wushuang's personality charm is too powerful!"

At the same time!

Marquis Marquis Yongping Marquis Mansion!

Lady Luo had already brought the Third Miss of the Luo family to meet the eldest sister, Yuan Niang.

"The sisters have come, Shiyi Niang is already so big. I am very happy."

Sitting in the seat of honor was Xu Xu Xu Lingyi's mother, Old Madam Xu.

With gray hair, her eyebrows and eyes looked Love Love Like someone not to be trifled with.

Sitting in the lower seat was Yuan Niang, who was resplendent and elegant.

She took the initiative to smile and greet the three sisters of Shiyi Niang.

It was just that she looked sickly.

Even more serious than Lin Lin Daiyu and Liu Wu'er.

Even her speech was slow and weak.

One look and you could tell she was terminally ill.

She wouldn't live much longer.

"Please sit down."

【321】 Yuan Niang loses face! Jia Hui arrives at the Xu family for the first time!

This made Yuan Niang have even more of a sense of crisis.

She understood in her heart that Xu Xu Xu Lingyi's feelings for her were not deep.

And all of Xu Xu Xu Lingyi's time and energy were used to protect the country. If she handed Zhunge to Xu Xu Xu Lingyi, Xu Xu Xu Lingyi would inevitably be unable to protect Zhunge, plus Old Madam Xu had always liked Concubine Concubine Qiao Concubine Concubine Qiao Concubine Qiao Lianfang.

This Concubine Concubine Qiao Concubine Concubine Qiao Concubine Qiao Lianfang's background is not simple; she is the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion, one grade higher than the Marquis Mansion.

If she didn't plan, maybe after she passed away, Concubine Concubine Qiao Concubine Concubine Qiao Concubine Qiao Lianfang would likely be the next successor as the second wife of the Marquis Marquis Yongping Marquis.

With Concubine Concubine Qiao Concubine Concubine Qiao Concubine Qiao Lianfang's character, she would definitely not let go of her son Zhunge at that time.

So Yuan Niang felt that the safest way was to choose someone from her own sisters to replace her position and help her take care of Zhunge.

"Greetings, eldest sister!"

The three daughters, Er Niang, Wu Niang, and Shiyi Niang, bowed.

Then they sat down.

Their behavior was all in the style of noble ladies.

Old Madam Xu also observed secretly, but her expression was faint, and she didn't say much, because she had long taken a fancy to Concubine Concubine Qiao Concubine Concubine Qiao Concubine Qiao Lianfang.

Yuan Niang then rewarded the three with a jade pendant each, "You can choose for yourselves."

Subsequently, she looked at the three daughters.

Hearing this, Wu Niang and Shiyi Niang both reacted calmly.

One was that Wu Niang already had a marriage engagement, and because she didn't live a hard life at home, she didn't value money.

Shiyi Niang also didn't covet money.

Luo Er Niang chose first, and surprisingly.

Her reaction this time was also very calm.

After looking at it casually.

She chose a jade pendant with many sons and many blessings!

And Shiyi Niang chose last, but she got a jade pendant engraved with auspiciousness.

This made Yuan Niang very surprised.
