Chapter Ten, when the father wants the son to perish, the son has no choice but to perish.

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Others find it grating, and Jia She is naturally even more furious. He sternly says, "You insolent scoundrel, who gave you permission to die? Do you really think you're someone important? Are you worthy of me killing you?"

Ah!!

However, if Nainai gets drunk and beats Jia Cong, it would be an intolerable scandal.

And then, he gently lowered his eyelids.

Mr. Jia also frowned and turned around to scold Jia Huan, saying, "You wicked child, why are you making a fuss again?"

Grandmother Jia has experienced a lot in her life. She quickly regained her composure and asked Lady Xing, "Who is his nanny? How could she be so ruthless?"

Although Lady Xing's face was embarrassed, she still had to agree, saying, "What Madam said is true, it's all my fault for not managing the household properly..."

Having said that, let the two maids behind come and "serve" Jia Cong.

Tragic and fierce, but with resentment.

Danfeng narrowed his eyes and Jia Huan almost knelt down from his gaze...

As everyone saw, from Jia Cong's neck down, there were criss-crossing blue and red bruises, swelling up to two fingers high, with faintly oozing blood, covering his entire upper body.

Teaching one's son is a matter of course.

What are you always saying?

However ... ....

Jia Huan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his little face turning pale with fear. However, thinking of Jia Cong's magical handiwork, he mustered up the courage and trembled as he said, "M-master... I didn't make a fuss. Every time Jia Cong is beaten by his nurse, and his clothes are torn, he has to mend them himself. If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself..."

Everyone else held their breath, only Lady Xing's complexion didn't look good, her voice carried some resentment as she said, "Huan, you must not talk nonsense. Without the master's orders, who can dare to hit him? What would it look like if this were to spread?"

This statement, with its faintly discernible implications, is somewhat alarming.

This is definitely not something that can be faked!

At this moment, Jia Huan anxiously said, "I didn't lie! I really..."

Jia Huan's little face is full of grievances, saying to Lady Wang: "Madam, I really didn't lie. I really saw it, Jia Cong's wet nurse hit him when she was drunk. I told my aunt, she also said I was making it up, saying that she couldn't believe it anymore... What I said is true."

He slowly untied his waistband, then slowly unfolded the front of his robe, and finally took off his undershirt little by little...

The other day, clearly, we didn't have these. Could it be that we were really robbed again...

At this moment, he only felt that he had lost all face.

Grandmother almost gritted her teeth and spat out these five words, her face filled with anger.

As fellow young masters of the Jia family, compare the splendid attire and exquisite appearance of Jia Baoyu, who is cherished and loved like a precious gem, to the battered and bruised figure of Jia Cong...

This is completely two different things!

However, none of them was more surprised.

Upon hearing these words, everyone looked again and indeed saw Jia Cong holding a needle and thread in one hand and a coat in the other.

Jia She stood to the side with a dark face, gritting his teeth as he asked.

If the wet nurse has such a problem, the consequences would be too terrible.

Wang Xifeng has always been someone who speaks with a smile before words, especially in the presence of elders, thus she is extremely polite to Jia Cong.

Jia Huan must have eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard to dare to interrupt: "Master, it's true. The other day when I went to find Jia Cong to play, I saw him being beaten by his nanny. He was covered in injuries!"

Jia She immediately frowned and shouted, "Damn beast, who let you stand there?"

Upon hearing these words, Wang Xifeng pursed her lips and looked down upon the words spoken by Lady Xing. Regardless, this is not something that a stepmother should say in front of everyone.

Upon these words being spoken, the entire crowd fell silent, and many people furrowed their brows.

Mrs. Wang interrupted him before he finished speaking.

Madam Wang has always refrained from meddling in trivial matters. She has a very good temperament and is well-known in the Jia Family for her compassionate nature.

For a moment, everyone was stunned by such a tragic scene.

High gates and noble mansions, isn't it all about dignity?

Upon seeing him, Wang Xifeng was taken aback. She was used to seeing people and although she couldn't claim to have seen countless individuals, as the steward of the household for these years, she believed she had developed a good eye.

Perhaps reminded of the past, Jia Mu's face also became unsightly.

As for Lin Daiyu, Jia Yingchun, Jia Tanchun, and others, they even turned their heads away and dared not look more.

He glanced at Wang Xifeng, who looked like a goddess, with a clear and calm gaze.

On weekdays, she treated Jia Huan very well.

Grandmother Jia couldn't remember who it was, but Yuanyang remembered. She whispered, "He's also a servant in the family, tall and thin, with a tall crutch and big eyes... It seems like he's related to the Wang family."

You little bastard, you know too much!

But she was curious about Jia Cong, those eyes, so calm, completely unlike the gaze a nine-year-old child should have.

Jia Cong heard the words, slowly raised his head, revealing a pale face.

Mr. Jia angrily scolded Jia Huan for daring to talk back, saying, "You dare to talk nonsense? Today, the master is busy with the birth of his son and doesn't have time to discipline you."

Furthermore, due to its suddenness, it immediately captured the attention of everyone.

Therefore, Lady Wang's warning did not intimidate him.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly explained, "Most likely it was when Huaner and the other child accidentally bumped into each other while playing. Children, you know, often have little mishaps."

Jia Cong, however, took a half step back, still not lifting his eyes, but with a humble appearance...

If the nanny is dedicated and responsible, with a kind and generous temperament, the upbringing of the young master and miss will naturally turn out well.

Madame Xing's complexion improved upon hearing this. She said to Wang Xifeng, "Then go and see for yourself whether it's true or false..."

This comparison has made many people jealous.

That is Jia Huan.

I resent the king's ignorance, and I resent my parents' lack of kindness.

They may not care about Jia Cong, even if Jia Cong is really injured, but if Jia She orders to discipline him, no one can say anything.

However, she still smiled and said, "Madam, don't worry, it won't happen again."

Families like the Jia family, when the women give birth to children, the main wives like Lady Wang and Wang Xifeng usually do not personally take care of the children.

Jia Huan respects her and treats her with respect, but he is not afraid of her. He is more afraid of Wang Xifeng.

As everyone followed Jia Huan's gaze, they saw Jia Cong standing there with only a small piece of clothing on, hanging his head low, and his complexion looked even worse.

This is not just Jia Cong's problem. Jia Cong is insignificant, but this involves other young masters and ladies, and even the issue of the Jia family's governance and reputation.

She was momentarily lost in thought until the maid behind her coughed, and only then did she come to her senses, suppressing her doubts and saying, "Brother Cong, Huan'er is young and ignorant. Is it true that your nanny beats you when she drinks? The old lady is also here, so just speak up, don't be afraid."

Go, bring her to me. Ask her whether she is a trespasser or just gone mad! What audacity!

Even if others have no problem, if this matter spreads, what will it be like?

Mrs. Wang also closed her eyes and recited the Buddhist mantra silently, shaking her head and sighing.

Ring.

Jia Huan knew that he seemed to have gotten too excited and shouted loudly, "That old thing must be sleeping in the room! Every time she finishes eating and beats Jia Cong, she goes back to sleep!"

When this was said, most people's faces changed.

Jia Cong heard the words, but remained motionless, neither speaking nor making a sound.

People found it strange. Wang Xifeng frowned, looked at Jia Cong with suspicion, and then turned to look at Jia Huan.

Wang Xifeng also smiled beside Jia Cong and said, "Brother Cong, there are many influential figures here. You just need to seek justice. Come, let me have someone help you loosen your clothes..."

Many people subconsciously think of Jia Cong, as if he was born on the same day as Jia Baoyu, but half a day earlier, one in the morning and one in the evening.

The Cong brothers are all family, please don't be a stranger, lift up your head.

Many people's faces changed when they heard the name "taboo".

Don't just talk about the people in the inner courtyard, even Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia Bao Yu, and others all widened their eyes, unable to conceal their astonishment.

Jia Huan whispered, "He always says, 'If the ruler commands the subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die. If the father wants the son to perish, the son has no choice but to perish.'"

How is that possible?

No one knows.

Seeing him like this, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, and others hurriedly tried to persuade him, and then scolded Jia Huan severely.

Actually, Grandmother Jia still couldn't remember who it was. With hundreds of servants in the Jia family, and her not being involved in the household affairs for so many years, how could she remember some insignificant minions.

However, she knows about Wang Shanbao's family.

As a result, even Jia Mother could not remain calm.

For example, Xiren who follows behind the maidservants in the queue.

In the era of marrying a wife for her virtues, whether a legitimate wife is virtuous or not depends on two things: first, whether she is filial to her husband's parents, and second, whether she treats her stepchildren kindly.

Before reconsidering the phrase "When the father wants the son to die, the son has no choice but to die," everyone can feel a sense of tragic despair in their hearts.

After calming down for a while, Jia She sternly shouted, "Didn't I say to hit hard? Take off your clothes and let people see how you have been mistreated. Be careful, if you dare to deceive me, you will not be spared today!"

Jia She scolded Jia Cong, "Look at your appearance, how disgraceful! Is your nanny dead? Go back now, be careful not to dirty my floor!"

This statement is not good.

Jia Zheng almost died of anger. Even a wet nurse, what is she doing? Jia Huan knows it very well.

Having said that, he walked over with two maids.

If, however, ... ....

Jia Huan's exaggerated exclamation sounded just as one flatterer finished and another had yet to start.

Densely packed, shocking at first sight!!

She didn't directly intervene, but first said to Lady Xing, "I shouldn't have meddled in your affairs, but since Huan'er has said this, let's take a look. If there is no evidence, we'll drop it. If there is, then you should discipline him properly. This matter cannot be taken lightly, it's not just a trivial matter."

Everything was entrusted to the nanny for upbringing.

He hurriedly said, "Second... Second Sister-in-law, Jia Cong is really foolish. I originally wanted him to report to the Old Master and the Old Madam, but he always says, always says..."

This unlucky child is so bizarre to what extent...

On the side, Wang Xifeng hurriedly said, "Madam, how could it be blamed on you? You are busy from morning till night, serving the old lady and the master, and managing the people in this courtyard. Even if what Huaner said is true, it's just the maidservants being deceitful and malicious. They are taking advantage of the kind and gentle nature of Madam!"

Especially, this concerns the reputation of several leading ladies in managing their households...

Therefore, without showing any emotion, he glanced at Lady Xing, causing her face to stiffen.

Yuan Yang whispered to Lady Jia with a smile, "Such a young child, and he's already able to do sewing and mending?"

Madam Xing's face turned extremely ugly, and she said, "It's from the Qin Xian family."

It's unbelievable, such a thing!!

Amitabha Buddha!

The rockery is neither far nor near from the bluestone path. Jia Cong has been standing there silently with his head down. The crowd cannot see his face clearly, nor do they feel anything.

In the midst of a sudden intake of cold air, several sharp and startled exclamations pierced the ears.

No one knows, it's hard to say. She was not invited to the banquet today.

Just as the words fell, he hurriedly added, "But you need to pay attention and look carefully. If there are just a few hiccups, then it's hard to say. The child's mother is not decent, and he is probably not decent either. Don't be fooled by him and wrong a good person."

Grandmother Jia said, "Where is that treacherous servant now?"
