Chapter 54

There was no longer any need to show the slightest restraint toward this rankless and positionless Gao Gao Gao Bingzhu!

"Release us at once, you base, lowly thing, or you shall suffer for it!"

Jia Rong followed up with loud curses and threats.

[65] The Two Prefectures After the Fact! Jia Hui Arrives at His New Home (6th update)

Gao Gao Gao Bingzhu, however, merely hugged his sword and frowned.

In the end, he chose to remain silent.

Although the group of his subordinates, the Bad People, feared the Ningguo Prefecture,

they still chose to continue the detention.

This showed that Gao Gao Gao Bingzhu had won the hearts of the people and held great prestige among his men.

After walking for a long time,

they arrived at the Bad Well, which was one of the slums in the city.

This was a place where criminals and those of lowly status stayed.

It was even worse than where commoners lived.

It belonged to the very bottom of the social hierarchy.

Arriving at this dirty, chaotic, and poor place,

and seeing the strange looks from the impoverished people here,

Jia Zhen and his son were nearly angered to death!

"Damn that Jia Hui!"

"I will surely see you die a miserable death!"

They did not know

how many times they had already unleashed their impotent rage!

When Jia Zheng, who had arrived here with a look of disdain,

heard these words, his expression immediately darkened.

"Enough!"

After stepping out of his sedan, Jia Zheng gave a low shout,

reprimanding the two of them.

"Cousin!"

Jia Zhen looked toward the sound and was immediately overjoyed to see Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng was a cousin of the same generation as Jia Zhen's father, Jia Jing. Jia Jia Jia Baoyu and Jia Zhen were also cousins.

Jia Zheng was one generation older than Jia Zhen, and because Jia Zhen's father was of the senior branch, Jia Zheng was Jia Zhen's uncle.

"Second Master!"

Jia Rong also called out in pleasant surprise.

"It is good that you have come, Cousin. Please, save us."

Hearing this, Jia Zheng continued to keep a stern face. "How can you two be so foolish? Is Jia Hui someone to be trifled with now? You have brought this entirely upon yourselves!"

Having been scolded by him,

the joyful expressions on the faces of Jia Zhen and Jia Rong instantly stiffened!

However, neither of them dared to defy him in public.

They were still relying on him to rescue them.

Thus, Jia Zhen and his son were submissive and obedient,

though in their hearts, they felt nothing but disdain.

The hatred they felt for Jia Hui remained exactly as it was.

They were only waiting until they returned

to find another opportunity for revenge!

Jia Zheng thought they had taken his words to heart,

and his expression softened slightly.

He had no intention of staying in this godforsaken place any longer.

So he said, "I am Jia Zheng of the Rongguo Prefecture, here to take these two back."

Gao Gao Gao Bingzhu first shook his head. "If you want to take them, it must be by the order of my superiors."

Seeing that he was impervious to reason, Jia Zhen and his son were so angry they wanted to curse again.

Jia Zheng also had a headache. He thought for a moment and said, "General Jia Hui has already consented to this matter."

Upon hearing this, Gao Gao Gao Bingzhu

took a deep look at Jia Zheng,

then immediately greeted his men, saying, "Let's go. It's getting late; I'll treat you all to some wine!"

"Master He He, thank you, Assistant Regional Commander."

The Bad People subordinates, as if granted amnesty, happily followed Gao Gao Gao Bingzhu, who was still hugging his sword, as he left.

"That hateful, lowly wretch. Just wait until I get back; I'll see how I can kill him."

Jia Zhen cursed loudly.

Jia Zheng frowned upon hearing this,

but acted as if he had heard nothing.

A mere Bad Person naturally could not compare to Jia Hui.

"Alright, alright, let's all go back."

He did not want to stay for even another quarter of an hour,

fearing he might catch some disease Love Love Like fleas.

He planned to go back and take a good hot bath.

Jia Zhen and his son, despite their cursing, shared the same mindset.

And so, each in a disheveled and miserable state, they hurriedly made their way back to their mansion!

In any case, the Jia family had lost all face today!

Lady Jia of the Rongguo Prefecture had been slapped in the face and mocked by Jia Hui in public, and had lost two beautiful maids.

Jia Zhen and his son of the Ningguo Prefecture were even worse off, having been beaten up in public and losing tens of thousands of taels of silver and a shop!

People, money, shops, face, and dignity!

It could be said that all of it had been lost completely because of Jia Hui!

Needless to say,

they had already become the laughingstock of the entire city!

Jia Zhen and his son hated Jia Hui to the bone!

As soon as they returned home, they began to curse and revile him again.

The incomparably beautiful You Shi, seeing this, was shocked and suspicious: "Jia Hui has returned? And he beat up Jia Zhen and his son? He demanded an apology? Even Lady Jia could do nothing but be forced to send him two beautiful maids?"

To someone from a humble background Love Love Like You Shi,

this was truly shocking to the core!

She could never have imagined

that someone could be so formidable!

After all, in the past,

the Jia family had seemed as tall and great as the heavens in her eyes.

Incomparably powerful!

How formidable must this Jia Hui be, who had repeatedly made both Jia prefectures suffer and lose out!

"What kind of person is he, exactly?"

Added to the various deeds she had heard about Jia Hui and the rumors of his extraordinary nature!

Thinking of these things,

You Shi could not help but gradually become infatuated.

Meanwhile, Jia Zheng returned to the Rongguo Prefecture, feeling somewhat exhausted!

The entire Rongguo Prefecture looked at Jia Zheng with trepidation.

Jia Zheng looked at Lady Jia and spoke briefly: "Jia Hui has accepted the two maids; he seems to Love Love Like them quite a bit and has renamed them Sister Sister Xiren and Hearing Hearing Qingwen. As for Jia Zhen and his son, they have already been released!"

·· 0Seeking flowers0 ·········

This made Lady Jia heave a long sigh of relief.

Lady Wang and the others had their own varied thoughts.

"You have worked hard, Zheng'er. You have been running about all day; go and bathe and rest."

"I am tired as well; I shall return to my room to sleep..."

At this moment, it was actually only three or four in the afternoon.

Lady Jia was exhausted and wanted to return to her room for a long sleep.

Jia Zheng also went to bathe under the service of Lady Wang and the others.

Li Wan, Seeing Seeing Fengjie, Lin Lin Lin Daiyu, the three Chun sisters, and others were left to look at each other.

They actually wanted to talk about something.

They exchanged glances,

clearly seeing each other's thoughts!

There was nothing else!

There was only one person!

Jia Hui!

It was just that Lady Jia had strictly stated earlier

that no one in the Jia family was allowed to mention Jia Hui again.

So they did not dare to talk about it,

and had to keep it stifled in their hearts.

Whether they would talk about it in private, however, was unknown.

In any case, Lady Jia and the others had left.

Thus,

Lin Lin Lin Daiyu and the others soon dispersed.

Hearing Hearing Tanchun took the initiative to lead Lin Lin Lin Daiyu to the courtyard that had just been assigned to her.

Finally, only Jia Jia Jia Baoyu was left, feeling completely overwhelmed!

Because he realized, albeit belatedly,

that maids Love Love Like Sheyue and Qiuwen had all been hurt by him.

Their hearts were cold.

So Jia Jia Jia Baoyu could not even care about Lin Lin Lin Daiyu,

and had to run off to coax them instead!

As for Jia She and Jia Jia Jia Lian?

After Lady Jia decided to send the maids to settle the matter,

the father and son left in a huff, each going their own way!

It was just that Jia She returned to his own courtyard,

while Jia Jia Jia Lian left the Rongguo Prefecture again,

and no one knew where he had gone to fool around!

This made Seeing Seeing Fengjie very frustrated: "How can there be such a person? I have been guarding an empty room for months, and the moment he returns, he only knows how to be angry and ignore me. Who knows which wanton hussy he has run off to see again!"

She felt truly aggrieved and heartbroken,

and resentment toward Jia Jia Jia Lian grew!

The cracks in their marital relationship widened without them even realizing it!

Just Love Love Like that,

because of Jia Hui,

the Jia family was in chaos.

The instigator, Jia Hui, was carefree,

and in high spirits, he brought the beauties to enter his own Viscount's Mansion!

Outside the courtyard, high walls over three meters tall were surrounded by white plaster.

Green willows hung down all around.

At the top of the central vermilion-lacquered gate,

hung a plaque of black golden-nanmu wood!

On it, written in a bold and unrestrained hand, were two large characters: "Jia Fu"!

"How grand!"

[66] The Scheming Pretty Hearing Hearing Qingwen! Moving into a New Home! (7th update)

Jia Fu.

The very term exuded a sense of high status and nobility!

Because in ancient times,

it was different from what was seen in films and television dramas.

Unlike how any Tom, Dick, or Harry of a wealthy merchant could call their home a "Fu,"

nowadays, only the mansions of those with super-rank titles or Princes could be called a "Fu"!

The residences of officials of the third rank and above were called "Di," while the residences of ordinary scholars and officials could only be called "Zhai."

The laws of the Great Great Great Qian had strict limitations on housing grades and areas; in principle, one could not overstep these bounds!

The rest were basically all called "Zhai."

For example, the Qin family's home was only called a "Zhai."

Fu, Di, Zhai!

Jia Hui's current Jia Fu exuded a sense of prestige.

Therefore, Jia Hui was very satisfied.

He turned back to look at Sister Sister Xiren and Hearing Hearing Qingwen.

Even though the two women had lived in the Duke's Mansion,

they were both delighted when they saw Jia Hui's mansion!

"So grand."

Sister Sister Xiren said softly.

Hearing Hearing Qingwen nodded in agreement.

This was not strange.

Jia Hui's mansion, as he had learned from the decree-bearing Eunuch Dai Quan,

had originally been the mansion of a Count from the previous dynasty!

It had been vacant for many years,

but had always been maintained by someone.

Although its scale was certainly not as large as the Jia family's,

it was still very vast,

covering an area of thirty thousand square meters!

One must know...
