Chapter 798: Clan Law Lashes Family Style

Lady Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall.

Wang Wang Xifeng's pretty face turned cold, her words like knives. When Jia Baoyu heard about his father, his true colors were immediately revealed, and his righteous indignation turned into a dog chasing a cat.

Feng'er was a sharp and transparent person who had been by Wang Wang Xifeng's side for many years and had learned to understand things at a hint, very much understanding her mistress's intentions.

As soon as Wang Wang Xifeng's words fell, she responded crisply, her movements agile and efficient, and without a word, she stepped out of the hall quickly.

Jia Mu was just about to speak to stop her, but Feng'er walked quickly, and in the blink of an eye, she lifted the door curtain and disappeared without a trace.

Jia Mu complained: "This little girl's legs are too fast. Such a matter is worth being so diligent about.

Feng Tan Yatou, Jia Baoyu is still young and doesn't understand the ways of the world. You, as a sister-in-law, should teach him more. Why talk to him with such anger?

It's not a big deal. Why bother calling his father? When the time comes to beat and scold, everything will be turned upside down, and the whole family will not be at peace.

Sister Yuanyang, your legs are fast, hurry and chase that girl back, just say it's my word."

Jia Baoyu heard Jia Mu's words, and his tightly stretched body instantly relaxed. His courage seemed to have been scared away by half, and he never dared to speak generously again.

It was just that his body was becoming increasingly bulky, his internal fire was strong but his constitution was weak, and his heart was fluctuating violently. A layer of sticky cold sweat broke out on his back, and his whole body felt chilly, his soul shaken and difficult to calm.

Wang Wang Xifeng said she was going to call Jia Zheng, but it was just to suppress Jia Baoyu's momentum.

She knew very well in her heart that as long as Jia Mu was in the hall, she would never let Jia Baoyu suffer a big loss. She was just bluffing, a means to control the trend.

She said: "Old Lady, I was also confused by anxiety. Jia Baoyu's temper is truly something I have no way to deal with.

Since Brother Cong inherited the title and mansion, the inner courtyard of the West Prefecture has been his back residence. Xiao Hong has kept Rongxi Hall tidy every day, just waiting for Brother Cong to stay there.

But since the imperial decree for the title was issued, Brother Cong has never spent the night in the West Prefecture. Although he doesn't say it, I, as the granddaughter-in-law, have weighed the meaning.

It's nothing more than the fact that the Old Lady and the Eldest Lady live in the inner courtyard of the West Prefecture, and you and Lady You also live there, and we are all widowed daughters-in-law living alone of the same generation.

Brother Cong acts like this to give us face; this is the style of a great young master, worthy of the dignity of a dignified Hanlin scholar."

Although Wang Wang Xifeng's words were not fully spoken, sisters like Seeing Yingchun and Lin Daiyu, even though they were still in the boudoir, understood the meaning.

Jia Mu had been a widow in the inner house for half her life, and felt a sense of awe in her heart. Since the Ningguo Mansion was raided, Jia Mu had decided to support Lady You in the Lady Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Zhen and Jia Cong were of the same generation, and Lady You was not yet thirty, a widowed woman with a beautiful appearance. Wang Wang Xifeng was also in her early twenties, currently living like a living widow.

There had always been many rights and wrongs in front of a widow's door. If Wang Wang Xifeng hadn't broken it today, Jia Mu really wouldn't have realized that Brother Cong never spent the night in the West Prefecture, and there was this layer of taboo.

But thinking about it carefully, it made a lot of sense. Wang Wang Xifeng was his own sister-in-law, but Lady You was a clan sister-in-law with a distant bloodline, which could easily attract gossip...

Wang Wang Xifeng suddenly mentioned this, and it wasn't without reason. Lady You and this situation were all very easy to attract gossip.

No wonder Brother Cong didn't walk around the West Prefecture much. He was truly as shrewd as a ghost. He carried an official position and reputation, so how could he not cherish his feathers?

Compared to this, Brother Cong was not yet married and was the master of the West Prefecture, so there were fewer taboos for him to enter and exit the inner house, and others wouldn't gossip much.

Jia Baoyu hadn't been married before, so he could barely muddle through, but now he was engaged, and the woman in his room was pregnant, so the story was different.

If he still lived in the inner courtyard of the West Prefecture after getting married, it would sound too ugly if it spread out.

No wonder Feng Tan Yatou was so energetic, speaking so bluntly, and couldn't wait to drive Jia Baoyu away. It turned out she was afraid of ruining her own reputation...

Jia Mu thought clearly about this layer, and no matter how much she doted on Jia Baoyu, she didn't dare to refute Wang Wang Xifeng's words.

Otherwise, if she left behind the handle of indulging disciples and confusing the inner house, she, as a dignified Duchess, would not be able to keep her late integrity and would be poked in the spine by people after she died.

At this time, Jia Baoyu had already been killed of his momentum by Jia Zheng's power, but Wang Wang Xifeng had no intention of stopping.

She seemed to be speaking earnestly and continued: "Brother Bao and Brother Cong are the same age, only a month apart.

Even if your studies can't compare to Brother Cong, and your abilities aren't as outstanding, you should learn Brother Cong's demeanor in your actions, so as not to lose the prestige of a Hanlin family."

Jia Baoyu's fear had not yet gone, thinking that Sister Yuanyang had been out for a long time and hadn't seen her return, and he didn't know if his father had returned to the mansion...

He was full of fear and worry, and then heard Wang Wang Xifeng's skin-peeling and bone-dismantling words, which were like pouring oil on fire. Jia Baoyu's expression was excited, his whole body trembling slightly, not knowing if it was because of fear or anger.

Jia Mu saw that Jia Baoyu's complexion was wrong, thinking that if she didn't stop it, Feng Tan Yatou's broken mouth could suffocate her grandson to death.

She hurriedly said to Jia Baoyu: "I have already agreed on this matter with Brother Cong. It is also because your mother didn't handle things reliably and didn't remember to tell you, causing a lot of gossip today.

No one is allowed to mention this matter again. Just do what should be done. Your sister-in-law is your elder sister-in-law; scolding you a few times won't make you lose a few pounds of meat. Why be so anxious and angry?

I see your complexion is not good, go back and rest early. Sister Feicui, you go and call Sister Xi Ren over. Jia Baoyu doesn't even follow a maid when he goes out. They are becoming more and more careless."

Everyone heard Jia Mu's nagging and knew she was changing the subject to smooth things over, finding a step for her precious grandson, so naturally, no one interrupted.

Wang Wang Xifeng saw that Jia Mu had let go of the wind, and the matter of Jia Baoyu moving out of the West Prefecture had been nailed down again, so she naturally saw that it was good and stopped, no longer verbally cutting and ridiculing Jia Baoyu.

On the corridor of the inner courtyard, Sister Feicui was taking Sister Xi Ren and Seeing Caiyun to Rongqing Hall, and the three of them were walking in a hurry.

On the way, Sister Xi Ren asked Sister Feicui about the reason for the matter, and Sister Feicui explained the ins and outs clearly.

She also said: "Sister Xi Ren, you have been with Bao Er Ye Bao all your life, so persuade him a little. Every time something happens in Rongqing Hall, it makes the whole family tense.

If Bao Er Ye Bao just said a few less words, nothing would happen. There are no gold ingots to pick up in the West Prefecture, so is it worth getting so anxious and angry for this?

We who stand on the side see it clearly. Whether it is reasonable or not, everyone has a mirror in their hearts. According to Bao Er Ye Bao's temper, the East Road Courtyard is even more refreshing..."

Sister Xi Ren frowned and said: "Where have I not persuaded him? I have a belly full of bitterness here. The Bao Er Ye has been spoiled since he was a child, and his heart is high, so how can he listen to persuasion."

The three of them entered Rongqing Hall, and Jia Mu complained to Sister Xi Ren, but it was just to change the subject, to relieve Jia Baoyu's embarrassment, and to find a step for him to go down.

Sister Xi Ren was scolded by Jia Mu until she was confused. Although she was a bit aggrieved, she knew from Sister Feicui the reason and knew that the trend was not right, so she could only respond with a nod.

She and Seeing Caiyun helped Jia Baoyu out of the hall. Although Jia Baoyu was unwilling, he was worried that Jia Zheng would hear the news and might kill his way into the hall, so how could he dare to stay there?

With a panicked expression, he was taken out of Rongqing Hall by Sister Xi Ren. Only when he was some distance away from Rongqing Hall did he dare to beat his chest and cry loudly.

Although Sister Xi Ren had a headache, she still tried to persuade him with Seeing Caiyun.

After Jia Baoyu made a scene for a while, he returned to his courtyard without a soul.

In Rongqing Hall, after Sister Xi Ren took Jia Baoyu out, after such a scene, everyone lost the interest in idle talk.

Just seeing Sister Yuanyang bring Feng'er back, Jia Mu hurriedly asked about the matter.

Sister Yuanyang laughed: "Feng'er's legs are too fast. I had a hard time catching up. If I were two steps slower, this girl would have gone out of the West Corner Gate."

Jia Mu felt relieved when she heard this. Otherwise, if her son really heard the news, her Jia Baoyu would suffer again. But could the matter in Rongqing Hall really be hidden?

Because the sisters saw that the Old Lady was a bit tired, they all got up to say goodbye, letting Sister Yuanyang serve Jia Mu to rest in the back hall.

On the corridor outside the hall, Shi Shi Xiangyun was full of idle anger, and Seeing Tan Chun was also depressed. Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai pulled them together to return to the East Prefecture to play chess and relieve their boredom.

Seeing Yingchun and Wang Wang Xifeng walked at the back, talking about some idle housework between the two mansions.

Wang Wang Xifeng said: "Although I haven't seen the eldest sister, I have heard a lot about her over the years. She is a virtuous and generous young lady.

The Second Sister is the oldest among the sisters and has been with the eldest sister when she was young, so naturally, she is clearer about her character. Since you think this matter is fine, I can trust it.

It's just that the Second Aunt's temperament—I won't speak in riddles—the Second Sister must be clear in her heart. She is always avoiding Brother Cong, which makes people feel a headache when they see it.

I am worried that after Jia Baoyu leaves, she will use the eldest sister as an excuse to stir up something again.

By then, not only will the two branches be entangled, but it might also hurt the innocent, hurting good people for nothing."

Seeing Yingchun smiled: "I understand what Sister Feng means. Every family has its own difficult scriptures to recite. The whole family is divided and calculated, so how can everything be clearly divided?

The eldest sister entered the palace when she was ten years old, wasting ten years of time, which was also to support the family's prosperity. It is very rare among young ladies.

Now that she has returned home from the palace, the Old Lady feels sorry for her eldest granddaughter and wants to keep her by her side to accompany her, which is reasonable and emotional, so it is not good to stop it.

Although we sisters haven't seen each other for ten years, Brother Cong has seen the eldest sister several times when entering the palace. He said that the eldest sister has been tempered for ten years, and her mind and demeanor are extraordinary, not comparable to ordinary boudoir ladies." ===== CHAPTER 799 =====

Now that she has left the palace and returned home, the old lady feels sorry for her eldest granddaughter and wants to keep her by her side for company; in terms of both sentiment and reason, it is not good to stop her.

Although we sisters have not seen each other for ten years, younger brother Cong has entered the palace several times to see eldest sister; he says that after ten years of tempering, eldest sister's breadth of mind and bearing are extraordinary, not comparable to ordinary ladies of the boudoir.
