Chapter 489

Seeing Jia Jia Jia Baoyu smash the jade again.

Most of the people present reacted with indifference.

There was no other reason.

The boy who cried wolf too many times naturally increased everyone's immunity.

However, everyone subconsciously looked toward Jia Mu.

As for the furious Jia Zheng.

Few people really cared.

Because when it came to Jia Jia Jia Baoyu's situation, Jia Zheng, as a father, was a complete failure and had absolutely no authority.

So everyone turned their eyes to Jia Mu!

Including Shi Shi Shi Xiangyun.

At this moment, Shi Shi Shi Xiangyun's face was somewhat pale.

Even though she was a person of open-minded, optimistic, and carefree nature.

There were still some things she dared not do.

The first was that she dared not provoke Jia Mu!

And Jia Mu, under the gaze of all.

Actually.

At this moment.

Even Jia Mu felt a bit annoyed.

The current Jia Mu was at a moment of exhaustion and extreme vexation.

This kind of behavior from Jia Jia Jia Baoyu, which had been tried many times.

These repeated antics.

Truly gave Jia Mu a headache and made her irritable and displeased.

So seeing Jia Zheng in a rage.

Jia Mu opened her mouth and finally said, "Just don't beat him to death!"

Li Wan: "!"

Shi Shi Shi Xiangyun: "?"

Lin Lin Lin Daiyu and the two sisters of the second branch: "?"

Jia Zheng, Jia She, and Jia Jia Jia Lian: "?"

Jia Jia Jia Baoyu: "?"

Everyone looked at Jia Mu in shock, confusion, and disbelief.

Including Jia Zheng, who had been shouting to beat and kill Jia Jia Jia Baoyu.

And Jia Jia Jia Baoyu himself could not believe it!

He was stunned!

That Jia Mu would actually say such a thing.

Although she didn't let them beat Jia Jia Jia Baoyu to death, which could be considered keeping a bottom line.

But it still meant Jia Jia Jia Baoyu was going to be beaten!

This was something that had never happened before.

Let alone letting someone beat Jia Jia Jia Baoyu.

Even if he lost a single hair, Jia Mu would angrily punish the maid.

Every time Jia Zheng wanted to beat Jia Jia Jia Baoyu, he would be firmly protected in Jia Mu's arms.

To think it would be Love Love Like this this time!

Is this for real?

A brief silence actually descended upon the entire Rongxi Hall!

Jia Jia Jia Baoyu was the least able to accept it; his mentality collapsed directly!

He did not understand.

In the past, all the women, maids, and sisters clearly revolved around him.

Loving to play with him.

Now this situation was Love Love Like a dream bubble, Love Love Like a dream.

Likewise.

In the past, Lady Wang and the eldest sister Jia Jia Jia Yuanchun were among those who doted on him the most.

Now both mother and daughter had severed ties with him!

And the only one left who was best to him, Jia Mu, was Love Love Like this too?

Jia Jia Jia Baoyu's heart went cold!

Two lines of tears fell from his large eyes: "The Old Matriarch doesn't love me or dote on me anymore either. What is the point of living? Let me die! Beat me to death!"

He was making a scene of wanting to die.

Seeing this.

Except for Shi Shi Shi Xiangyun, who still felt heartache.

Li Wan and the other women watched coldly from the sidelines.

Although Jia Jia Jia Baoyu had just framed Shi Shi Shi Xiangyun unjustly.

Jia Mu might blame her because of Jia Jia Jia Baoyu throwing the jade.

And perhaps in the future, the Jia family would not let her come over.

This Jia Jia Jia Baoyu never considered the consequences of his actions, nor did he care about others.

Who knows how many people had been harmed to death by him!

However, Shi Shi Shi Xiangyun was open-minded, optimistic, and carefree by nature.

Having lost both parents in childhood, she was raised by her uncle and lived under someone else's roof.

Even though her background was three parts more bitter than Lin Lin Lin Daiyu's, she never spent her days in sorrow Love Love Like Lin Lin Lin Daiyu. In the Jia household, one could hear her laughter at any time, and that laughter was sincere and innocent, stemming from her optimistic nature.

Being unconcerned with trifles, plus the fact that her affection for Jia Jia Baoyu was genuine.

She did not hold a grudge against Jia Jia Jia Baoyu.

Seeing Jia Jia Jia Baoyu, she only felt heartache.

She hurriedly picked up the still-intact Spiritual Jade and said to Jia Jia Jia Baoyu, "Second Brother, stop acting so temperamental. Quickly apologize to the Old Matriarch and the Second Master."

Then she knelt down toward Jia Mu and Jia Zheng first!

"Old Matriarch, Second Master, I was also at fault just now. I shouldn't have spoken about Second Brother. If you want to punish someone, punish me, don't punish Second Brother."

Seeing this.

Everyone was moved!

Looking at Shi Shi Shi Xiangyun.

Both Jia Mu and Jia Zheng were incomparably fond of and satisfied with her.

Especially seeing.

That Lin Lin Lin Daiyu, also a cousin, showed no intention of being close to Jia Jia Baoyu at all.

This made Jia Mu lean even more toward Shi Shi Shi Xiangyun!

If it weren't for the fact that the Shi family had fallen on hard times.

Jia Mu would have been very willing to play matchmaker for Shi Shi Shi Xiangyun and Jia Jia Baoyu.

But thinking that the Rongguo Mansion was also gradually declining.

They could not afford to marry Shi Shi Shi Xiangyun anymore.

It is impossible to marry Shi Shi Shi Xiangyun again.

Otherwise, the Jia family would become even poorer.

So Jia Mu abandoned this idea.

In her heart, she still wanted to find a wealthy and powerful family for Jia Jia Baoyu's future legitimate wife.

However, this did not diminish her fondness for Shi Shi Shi Xiangyun in the slightest.

It even went a step further.

"Shi Shi Xiangyun, get up quickly. This is not your fault; it must be the trouble caused by this wicked creature. Today, I must teach him a harsh lesson."

"Hmph, someone, bring the rod!"

After Jia Zheng spoke to Shi Shi Shi Xiangyun with a pleasant countenance, he wore a different face for Jia Jia Jia Baoyu.

His anger flared up, and he let out a cold snort and a low shout.

The servants did not move immediately.

They continued to look at Jia Mu.

Jia Mu watched Jia Jia Jia Baoyu shedding tears.

It was heart-wrenching.

Now that Jia Jia Jia Baoyu had lost his mother and eldest sister.

It actually made Jia Mu feel even more heartache and anxiety for Jia Jia Jia Baoyu.

Logically speaking.

She should be even more doting and protective of Jia Jia Jia Baoyu.

But Jia Mu was, after all, Jia Mu.

In the past, she doted on Jia Jia Jia Baoyu so much.

Because she believed the Rongguo Mansion and the entire Jia family were as solid as a rock.

Even if Jia Jia Jia Baoyu remained incompetent from then on, he could still live a life of luxury.

However.

In these short two months.

Too many things had happened.

Half of the Jia family, the Ningguo Mansion, was gone.

The Rongguo Mansion's influence, power, and status had been reduced by more than half.

Plus, their money was almost exhausted.

Expenses were exceeding income.

With all these circumstances, Jia Mu increasingly saw the crisis.

Until not long ago, when Lady Xing was taken away by the bailiffs of the Jingzhao Prefecture office without any regard for face.

It completely woke Jia Mu up!

She felt extreme panic and unease about the future of the Rongguo Mansion.

So Jia Mu knew she could not go on Love Love Like this anymore.

Especially regarding Jia Jia Jia Baoyu.

She had protected him too well.

But now Jia Jia Jia Baoyu no longer had the mother and eldest sister who doted on him.

If she were to pass away in the future.

Would Jia Jia Jia Baoyu still have any hope?

Doing that would only harm him.

So seeing Jia Jia Jia Baoyu Love Love Like this.

Although her heart was aching to death, Jia Mu still hardened her face: "What are you still standing there for? Listen to the Second Master!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the servants hurried to fetch the rod.

Then they pressed Jia Jia Jia Baoyu down on the ground.

Jia Zheng held the rod and struck him heavily.

"Ah ah ah!!"

"It hurts, it hurts, Old Ancestor, save me!"

With just one strike, Jia Jia Jia Baoyu was crying and howling.

He, who had just been wanting to die.

Immediately changed his attitude.

This little beast only responded to the hard way, not the soft way!

Only by being ruthless to him.

Would he truly learn his lesson.

Hearing this.

Jia Mu closed her eyes in heartache, unable to bear watching.

Pity the hearts of parents everywhere.

Jia Zheng's fatherly love was silent.

Jia Mu, as a grandmother, also loved Jia Jia Jia Baoyu deeply.

It was just that some beasts.

No matter how well others treated them, they just took it for granted.

[499] Zhao Zhao Zhao Paner, who arrogantly showed off to Lady Xing; Jia Mu: At critical moments, not a single male in the Jia family is useful.

Only Zhao Zhao Zhao Paner and her son watched very happily, secretly cheering: "Well beaten!" "Well beaten! It's so satisfying to watch, so refreshing!"

The mother and son were excited to death.

And so.

Jia Zheng beat him again.

Until everyone could no longer bear to watch.

With everyone stepping forward in fear to dissuade him.

Did he finally let Jia Jia Jia Baoyu go.

He had him carried back to his room.

Having just recovered, he would probably have to lie down for a while again!

It is worth mentioning.

Lady Xing was in a similar situation.

By now, Lady Xing had returned to the mansion.

She had been given a caning.

The people from the government office had not used lethal force.

But these forty strokes, even if lightly struck.

Were enough to keep her in bed for at least half a month to a month.

So Lady Xing was lying on her sickbed.

Zhao Zhao Zhao Paner even came to mock her for a while.

Making Lady Xing extremely resentful.

But there was nothing she could do, so she had to let Zhao Zhao Zhao Paner mock her.

However, Lady Xing was unwilling to give in, so she countered with a sarcastic laugh: "Although I have lost the right to manage the household, don't you have it either? The pot shouldn't call the kettle black."

If it were the old Zhao Zhao Zhao Paner, she would definitely have been broken.

Originally wanting to see her make a fool of herself.
