Chapter 347

"But I didn't talk about the Eldest Master!"

"What should I do!"

"How much money will this take?"

"This time, Auntie should pay, right? If she can't pay, does she also learn from me? Uh."

Thinking of a possibility, Seeing Fengjie was startled.

Then she shook her head hurriedly.

What was she thinking about!

However.

Probably with Jia Hui's greed!

Probably Jia Zheng also wouldn't escape a round of extortion!

And Madam Wang would also have to bleed a sum of money!

"That's good, I can't be the only one to suffer."

Seeing Fengjie suddenly felt a little excited in her heart!

This is roughly the same psychology as Ouyang Xu and the others in the prison.

I can suffer and endure hardship, but the premise is that others are together!

Only then can I be psychologically balanced.

This is called not worrying about scarcity but worrying about inequality!

So returning to the Jia family.

The Old Madam and Madam Wang, as well as Jia She and Madam Xing.

They actually all knew the news that Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, and Wang Ziteng had been arrested at this time.

After all, so many people were watching.

Right at the main entrance.

For such a long time, it was impossible for them not to know.

And before Seeing Fengjie went in to eat the banquet.

She had already hurriedly sent someone back to convey the news.

At this moment, the Old Madam learned that her most beloved son, Jia Zheng, had been arrested.

Her eldest grandson, Jia Lian, had also been arrested.

She was burning with anxiety.

Madam Wang, Jia She, and Madam Xing were all at a loss.

Jia She was furious: "Jia Lian, this evil obstacle, useless thing, you say why did he provoke that madman Jia Hui for no reason!"

He wished he could beat Jia Lian up!

If Jia Lian died, he wouldn't be sad.

What he couldn't accept was.

If Jia Lian died.

His title would lose its heir!

That would be snatched away by the second branch!

How could this be!

But not necessarily.

Because he still had a second son, Jia Cong.

But he was a second son born of a concubine.

In the ancient inheritance system, sons born of concubines generally have no qualifications to inherit titles without special circumstances; titles have always been inherited by legitimate sons.

However, there are two opportunities to inherit.

The first is, if the legitimate son has achieved merit and has been rewarded with a higher title or has been adopted out, the son born of a concubine can also inherit the title.

If Jia Cong passes the imperial examination and becomes the top scholar in the future, and the reward he receives is higher than the title of the Rongguo Prefecture, then the son born of a concubine, Jia Cong, would have the qualification to inherit the Jia family's title.

By the same token.

The relationship between the second branch's Jia Baoyu and the son born of a concubine, Jia Huan, is the same principle.

But one knows it's impossible.

The probability is approximately 0!

Therefore, there is only one remaining method.

That is.

If the legitimate son becomes a monk or dies, the son born of a concubine also has the qualification to inherit the title.

For example, if the Jia family doesn't have an accident.

After Baoyu becomes a monk, he is the only legitimate son of Jia Zheng at present; after he becomes a monk, the son born of a concubine, Jia Huan, also has the qualification to inherit the title.

This is also the reason why Concubine Zhao later joined forces with Ma Daopo to harm Baoyu.

In Concubine Zhao's view, once Baoyu is gone, this family property will all become Jia Huan's.

Of course, what Concubine Zhao said is not entirely correct; after all, Jia Zheng still has a grandson, Jia Lan, and because Jia Lan is also the son of Jia Zheng's legitimate son, Jia Zhu, he also has the qualification to inherit.

By the same token.

If the legitimate son, Jia Lian, dies.

Jia Cong also has the opportunity and qualification to inherit.

But it's not good.

There are twists and turns.

That is the method of last resort.

Therefore.

Jia Lian, this legitimate son.

Because of his status as a legitimate son, it is best if he doesn't die.

Jia She is now worried that Jia Hui will torture Jia Lian to death.

"He shouldn't dare to kill Lian'er!"

"After all, it's just sending funeral money; it sounds bad, but it's not a crime punishable by death."

Madam Xing opened her lips and said.

Madam Xing, who sat quietly, was also a beautiful woman.

Her age was definitely under thirty.

Only in her early twenties, looking about twenty-two or twenty-three.

Even except for dressing relatively old-fashioned.

Maybe even younger.

Because she was a step-wife who remarried.

Jia She, this lecher, was not the fake serious person like Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng might cherish his reputation and find someone not very beautiful.

Jia She couldn't.

His personality couldn't allow him to find someone old and ugly to remarry.

After all, are you greedy for being old, ugly, and having no money?

Madam Xing's family background couldn't possibly have money.

Therefore, it could only be someone young and beautiful.

And someone dignified.

Because the Old Madam wouldn't like someone too seductive or enchanting.

After all, the Rongguo Prefecture is not the Ningguo Prefecture.

Therefore.
