"What, what is going on here?"

"Master, you have finally returned, you must save our Jia Jia Baoyu!"

Lady Wang, who had been at a total loss, hurriedly stood up.

And shouted to Jia Zheng.

"Speak, what exactly is going on!"

Jia Zheng asked in a low, stern voice.

"Master, it is Love Love Like this. It is Jia Jia Baoyu's fault; he just dared to curse Uncle Marquis Marquis Wushuang as a fame-seeking hypocrite, and even called him a traitor and a greedy official, truly foul-smelling!"

At this moment, Concubine Zhao, who loved to compete and stir up trouble, seized the opportunity.

Naturally, she would not let it go.

So she snatched the conversation first.

She actually repeated exactly what Jia Jia Jia Baoyu had said to curse Jia Hui.

She usually did not have such a good memory.

It seems her intelligence occupied the high ground when harming others.

At this moment, she was overjoyed.

She no longer felt resentment toward Jia Hui, and even wanted to thank him.

Upon hearing this, Jia Zheng was immediately furious, enraged beyond measure!

Far from having the sympathy for Jia Jia Jia Baoyu that Lady Wang imagined, or any thought of standing up for him.

He instead cursed aloud: "What a degenerate, to be so vicious, truly a degenerate, he deserves to be arrested, I wish I could kill him on the spot!"

He had loved reading since childhood, but he was not naturally rigid or dull; before entering officialdom, he "was also a man of poetry and wine," but "everything was for the sake of bringing honor to his ancestors," therefore he valued study and advancement, returning to the right path.

He was an upright and righteous man.

So naturally, he could not stand Jia Jia Jia Baoyu's disdain for study and official rank.

This completely contradicted the values and ideals of his entire life!

He could not accept it!

Therefore, he cursed in anger.

He truly wished he could kill Jia Jia Jia Baoyu himself!

He was even more shocked and angry that Jia Jia Jia Baoyu would cause such trouble!

Was Jia Hui someone who could be provoked?

Wang Wang Wang Ziteng and the others were still being held.

The Minister of War, two great Duke's Prefectures, a Marquis, and others had all been brought down or killed by him!

He felt only deep fear toward Jia Hui!

He dared not provoke him at all.

Jia Jia Jia Lian had caused him to be arrested, and he had lost a full one hundred thousand taels of silver!

Jia Zheng was already very dissatisfied with Jia Jia Jia Lian.

He secretly cursed his brother for not disciplining him well!

And now his own son was actually Love Love Like this too!

Jia Zheng was so angry he nearly vomited blood!

He was extremely ashamed and embarrassed!

"This degenerate son, degenerate son, he should be killed, he should be killed!"

Jia Zheng was trembling with rage.

Even more ruthless than Jia Hui.

Jia Hui only branded him and punished him for six years.

But he kept saying he should be killed.

Wanting to kill Jia Jia Jia Baoyu.

At this moment, Jia Zheng truly thought so; he wished he could turn around and leave.

And kill Jia Jia Baoyu on the spot.

Because if that were the case.

There would be no need for Jia Jia Jia Baoyu to be branded, bringing shame to the Rongguo Prefecture and himself!

"Bring me a sword, I want to kill him."

He even asked for a weapon directly!

Lady Wang was cold and terrified; she never expected.

That Jia Zheng would be so ruthless.

Far from saving his son.

He actually wanted to kill his own son.

"If you want to kill Jia Jia Baoyu, kill me first."

Fortunately, Jia Mu was there, wailing and scolding him.

Jia Zheng, who was devoted to filial piety toward Jia Mu and followed her every word, immediately wilted: "Mother... sigh!"

In daily life, whenever there was something good to eat or play with, he would always offer it first, letting his mother taste or see it. When arranging family banquets, he would always tell a joke or two to bring a smile to his mother's face. Beating Jia Jia Baoyu was originally intended to severely punish his misconduct and bring him back to the right path, so he could bring honor to his ancestors in the future.

This should be considered a father's legitimate right, but Jia Mu doted on her grandson and often scolded Jia Zheng severely for it.

In order not to disobey his mother's wishes, Jia Zheng had to abandon this right.

All of this could reflect Jia Zheng's deep affection for his mother.

But with a Jia Mu who doted on her grandson to such an extent.

How could he discipline Jia Jia Jia Baoyu?

It is no wonder this Jia Jia Jia Baoyu turned into such a waste.

He felt sorrow in his heart.

In short, Jia Zheng was deeply influenced by Confucian thought; although he was upright and filial, he was also pedantic, conservative, slow, and muddled.

He ignored Jia Mu and Lady Wang.

Jia Hui added insult to injury at this moment.

He turned his gaze to the faces of Jia Jia Yingchun, Hearing Hearing Tanchun, Lin Lin Daiyu, as well as Li Wan and Seeing Seeing Fengjie, and said: "This Jia Jia Jia Baoyu is truly all appearance and no substance, a boorish, foolish, stubborn, eccentric, incompetent, and unfilial wretch."

"I do not know how your Rongguo Prefecture has been disciplining him."

These words made everyone in the Jia family feel incredibly embarrassed.

Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, and Lady Wang were the first to bear the brunt.

Jia Zheng, who considered himself upright, was ashamed: "Uncle Marquis Marquis Wushuang, it is my fault, sigh."

He felt extremely humiliated.

Lady Wang, however, was annoyed that Jia Hui would curse so excessively.

Jia Hui was "inspired by poetry," and said: "I have a new poem, titled 'Xijiang Yue: Mocking Jia Jia Jia Baoyu (Two Parts),' to gift to you all."

Xijiang Yue is also a tune name for lyrics.

At this moment, Li Wan, Lin Lin Daiyu, and the others were all very curious.

What kind of poem Jia Hui would compose.

Because of the previous world-shaking poem.

All the women were very expectant of Jia Hui.

Jia Hui then recited a poem, although it was plagiarized: "Without cause, he seeks sorrow and resentment, sometimes appearing foolish or mad; even though he is born with a fine skin, inside he is but wild grass.

Down and out, he does not understand worldly affairs, foolish and afraid to read literature; his behavior is eccentric and his nature is perverse, caring nothing for the slander of the world!

In wealth, he does not know how to enjoy his career; in poverty, he cannot endure the cold; pitifully wasting good time, with no hope for country or home.

First in incompetence under heaven, unique in being unfilial throughout the ages; I send this message to the fops and the wealthy, do not imitate this child's form!"

"Hiss!!!"

The women were stunned after hearing it.
