Chapter 803

She didn't seem to know what to say.

Asking herself to lower her standard of living,

she was also ten thousand times unwilling...

So she didn't dwell on this matter anymore.

But Jia Mu was still worried and warned sternly: "In the future, such things as selling ancestral property must never be done again... unless I am dead! Otherwise, you two father and son will never recognize me as your mother and grandmother again! I will immediately move back to my old home in Jin Ling."

Once these words were spoken,

everyone was shocked.

Even Jia She and Jia Lian were terrified.

Because these words were very serious.

The ancients valued filial piety the most.

If it spread,

and the two father and son treated Jia Mu like this,

forcing their mother to the point where she couldn't live,

then the two of them would undoubtedly be socially dead.

Friends and relatives would loathe and distance themselves from them.

The imperial court, the Emperor, the Retired Emperor, etc., would all be disgusted.

Furthermore,

Jia Mu was now one of the few remaining faces and statuses of the Jia family!

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

Just like in the original book,

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

After Jia Mu passed away,

various disasters followed one after another.

This was the existence of an old noble lady that even the Emperor had to respect.

While she was alive,

although she had no power outside,

she still acted like a stabilizing force.

With her here,

the Rongguo Prefecture had a protective umbrella.

Without her,

then the Rongguo Prefecture would be even worse off!

Therefore,

whether considering filial piety or the interests and safety of this family,

the entire Rongguo Prefecture absolutely could not let the old lady leave the capital.

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

"Mother, don't say such things in the future. We still want to be filial to you until you are old."

Jia She and Jia Lian, father and son, were terrified and pleaded, admitted their mistakes, and made promises.

"What are you saying? We definitely won't dare to do it again in the future. If we sell again, we will definitely ask for your instructions."

Jia She hurriedly said soft words.

Jia Mu's expression softened.

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 now."

The anxious Lady Xing followed up.

Hearing this,

Jia Mu's attention was indeed diverted.

"We must find it. This is tens of thousands of taels of silver."

Jia Mu said angrily and anxiously.

After all, this was money exchanged for selling ancestral property.

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

It must be found.

Otherwise, they would have lost two manors for nothing and gained nothing.

How could she accept this?

Looking at the few daughters, Jia Mu asked: "It's been several days, what does 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. He only arrested a few servants to question them. 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 busily.

"I send people to the office to urge him every day, almost blocking 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 didn't know how to judge people.

Finally, he opened his mouth,

wanting to defend something, but in the end, he had nothing to say.

Several people argued for a while.

But arguing back and forth was of no use.

Because they couldn't get any solution.

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

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

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

At this moment, just like before,

everyone thought of one person first.

One method.

That was to find this person to solve it.

Although this person was greedy, as long as he promised something, he never failed!

Finding him would definitely be safe.

This was everyone's unanimous view.

But no one dared to open their mouth.

After all,

the lessons of the past were still before their eyes.

Lady Wang and Fengjie, the aunt and niece, were both because they begged Jia Hui.

Lady Xing thought of this: "Hmph, I won't beg him, never in this life. No matter what, I am still the mistress of the house. Now that Lady Wang and her niece are gone, among the women of the Jia family, I am second only to the Old Lady. I would have to be stupid to look for him."

Thinking this in her heart,

just as she was thinking this,

Jia Baoyu's head servant, Li Gui, suddenly shouted and ran in in a panic.

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

"The office is here." ===== CHAPTER 804 =====
