Chapter 545

She didn't seem to know what to say either.

To lower her own standard of living.

She was also ten thousand times unwilling...

So she didn't dwell on the matter any further.

It was just that Jia Mu was still uneasy, and she warned them sternly: "In the future, such things as selling ancestral property must never be done again... unless you wait until I am dead! Otherwise, you two, father and son, need not acknowledge me as your mother and grandmother from now on! I will move back to the old home in Jin Ling immediately."

Once these words were out.

Everyone was shocked and pale.

Even Jia She and Jia Jia Jia Lian were terrified.

Because these words were spoken very seriously.

The ancients valued filial piety above all else.

If this were to spread.

That the two of them, father and son, treated Jia Mu this way.

Forcing their mother to the point where she could no longer live on.

Those two would undoubtedly face social death.

Friends and relatives would all loathe and distance themselves from them.

The imperial court, the Emperor, the Retired Emperor, and others would all feel antipathy.

What’s more.

Jia Mu was now one of the few remaining figures of face and status for the Jia family!

Without her, the Jia family's reputation and status would plummet even further!

Just Love Love Like in the original story.

While Jia Mu was alive, the Jia family did not fall.

Once Jia Mu passed away.

All sorts of disasters followed one after another.

This was why even the Emperor had to show consideration for the existence of such an old matriarch.

While she was alive.

Although she held no real power outside.

She still acted Love Love Like a needle that calms the sea.

With her there.

The Rongguo Prefecture had a protective umbrella.

Without her.

Then the Rongguo Prefecture would be in even greater difficulty!

Therefore.

Whether considering it from the perspective of filial piety, or for the interests and safety of this family.

The entire Rongguo Prefecture absolutely could not allow the old lady to leave the capital.

Thus, Jia Zheng and the others said in a panic:

"Mother, you must never say such things again; we still wish to be filial to you until you are old."

Jia She and his son Jia Jia Jia Lian both pleaded in terror, admitting their faults and making promises.

"How could you say that? We definitely won't dare to do it again in the future, and if we sell anything again, we will certainly ask for your instructions."

Jia She hurriedly spoke soft words.

Only then did Jia Mu's expression soften.

Seeing this, Jia She hurriedly changed the subject: "Old Lady, the key to the problem now is to find the lost money first."

"Yes, yes, yes, this is the top priority right now."

The anxious Lady Xing chimed in to help.

Hearing this.

Jia Mu was indeed distracted.

"We must find it; this is hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."

Jia Mu said, annoyed and anxious.

After all, this was money obtained by selling ancestral property.

It was money for the Jia family's urgent needs.

It had to be found.

Otherwise, they would have lost two estates for nothing and gained nothing in return.

How could she accept that?

Looking at the few daughters-in-law, Jia Mu asked: "It's been several days, what do the people at the Jingzhao Prefecture office say? Is there still no news?"

Jia She said angrily: "That Jia Yucun, I don't know what's going on with him; he only caught a few servants to question. I have urged him several times, and he keeps saying as soon as possible, but there is no news at all."

"Master, why don't you urge him again?"

Lady Xing said hurriedly.

"I send people to the office to urge him every day; I'm just about to block him when he goes on and off duty."

Jia She was very dissatisfied with this Jia Yucun.

"Second brother, it's a pity you helped him so much back then; this useless thing is of no use at all."

Jia Zheng felt a bit awkward hearing this.

This was saying he was poor at judging people.

Finally, he opened his mouth.

Wanting to defend himself, but in the end, he had nothing to say.

The few of them argued for a while.

But no matter how they argued, it was of no use.

Because they couldn't find any solution.

After all, they were a bunch of good-for-nothings.

They were useless before, and now that they encountered a problem, it was even more impossible for them to solve it.

Actually, it wasn't that there was no solution.

At this moment, just Love Love Like in the past.

Everyone thought of one person at the first moment.

One method.

That was to find this person to step in and solve it.

Although this person was greedy, there had never been a time when he failed at what he promised!

Finding him would definitely be safe.

This was everyone's unanimous view.

But no one dared to bring it up.

After all.

The lessons of the past were still before their eyes.

Lady Wang and Seeing Seeing Fengjie, the aunt and niece, had both ended up that way because they had begged Jia Hui.

Lady Xing thought of this: "Hmph, I will never beg him, not in this lifetime. No matter what, I am now the mistress of the house. Now that the aunt and niece Lady Wang are gone, among the women of the Jia family, I am second only to the old lady. I would have to be a fool to look for him."

Thinking this in her heart.

Just as she was thinking this.

Li Gui, the head of Jia Jia Jia Baoyu's page boys, suddenly came in shouting in a panic.

"Old Lady, Master, Second Master, it's bad, it's bad!!"

"People from the office are here."
