Chapter 723

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 Baoyu's future legitimate wife.

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

It even went a step further.

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

"Hmph, someone, bring the stick!"

After Jia Zheng spoke kindly to Xiangyun, he showed a different face to Jia Baoyu.

Unable to contain his anger, he let out a cold snort and shouted.

The servants did not move immediately.

They continued to look toward Jia Mu.

Jia Mu watched Jia Baoyu shedding tears.

She felt heartache again.

Now that Jia Baoyu was like someone without a mother and an eldest sister.

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

Logically speaking.

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

But Jia Mu was Jia Mu after all.

She had doted on Jia Baoyu so much in the past.

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

Even if Jia Baoyu remained unlearned and unskilled from now on, he could still live a life of luxury.

However.

At this moment, in less than two months.

Too many things had happened.

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

0.... 0

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

Plus, the money was almost exhausted.

Expenses exceeded income.

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

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

It completely awakened Jia Mu!

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

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

Especially regarding Jia Baoyu.

She had protected him too well.

But now Jia Baoyu did not even have the mother and eldest sister who doted on him.

If she were to pass away in the future.

Would Jia Baoyu still have any hope?

Doing that would only harm him.

So seeing Jia Baoyu like this.

Although her heart was aching to death, Jia Mu still put on a stern face: "What are you still standing there for, listen to the Second Uncle!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the servants hurriedly went to fetch the sticks.

Then they pressed Jia Baoyu down on the ground.

Jia Zheng held the stick and struck him heavily.

"Ah ah ah!!"

"So painful, so painful, Old Ancestor, save me!"

With just one strike, Jia Baoyu was crying for his father and mother.

He, who had just wanted to die.

Immediately changed his attitude.

This little beast only responds to the hard, not the soft!

Only by being ruthless to him.

Will he truly learn his lesson.

Upon hearing this.

Jia Mu's heart ached so much she closed her eyes, 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 Baoyu deeply.

It's just that some beasts.

No matter how well others treat them, they just take it for granted.

【499】 Zhao Paner showing off arrogantly to Lady Xing; Jia Mu: At critical moments, not a single male in the Jia family is useful.

Only 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.

Consequently.

Jia Zheng beat him again.

Until everyone could no longer bear to watch.

Under the persuasion of everyone who was terrified.

He finally let Jia Baoyu go.

And had him carried back to his room.

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

It is worth mentioning.

Lady Xing was in a similar situation.

At this time, Lady Xing had already returned to the mansion.

She had been beaten with boards.

The people from the government office did not strike to kill.

But these forty boards, even if struck lightly.

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

So Lady Xing was lying on her sickbed.

Zhao Paner even came to mock her for a while.

Making Lady Xing incredibly angry.

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

However, Lady Xing was not reconciled, so she counterattacked with sarcasm: "Although I have lost the right to manage the household, don't you also have nothing? We are both in the same boat."

If it were the Zhao Paner of the past, she would definitely have broken down.

Originally, she wanted to see her make a fool of herself. ===== CHAPTER 724 =====
