Chapter 16 Disposal
Chapter 16 Disposal
The original owner's death was caused by a combination of factors, including the suppression and harm inflicted on her by Lady Wang and her niece Wang Xifeng, Jia Zheng's indifference to his son's situation due to Yuan Chun's promotion to imperial concubine, Grandmother Jia's neglect, Jia Baoyu's cold indifference, Aunt Zhao's crude and distorted teachings, the sarcasm of the servants around her, and even the original owner's lack of ambition.
Jia Huan is not a good person, but he is willing to be a good person, provided that his own interests are not harmed.
He might do good deeds to enhance his image and gain a good reputation.
However, he is a self-interested person; if he gives seven parts, others must repay him ten parts.
Of course, he can also act out of kindness and sacrifice his own interests to help others, but this must be done voluntarily.
Jia Huan had no intention of avenging the original owner of the body, because in his view, if the original owner hadn't died, he wouldn't have transmigrated here at all.
His transmigration here is partly thanks to the original owner of this body.
He doesn't need this kind of 'adventure'!
If the original owner were standing in front of him right now, he would definitely stab him to death without hesitation to vent his anger.
It's a pity the original owner is gone!
Jia Huan could only direct his anger at other people.
Jia Baoyu simply happened to appear in Jia Huan's line of sight.
He didn’t actually do anything today, but he felt that Baoyu always loved excitement and there were many young girls in the courtyard, so how could he stay idle?
So when he heard Fei Hua say that there was no one in Yi Hong Courtyard, he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't just rush off to check, he didn't have the authority to do so!
So we need to send someone ahead of him to check if anything has happened at the brothel, so that if something does happen inside, we don't end up putting him in there.
So he led his men to the Grand View Garden in a grand manner. Although the original owner and Jia Baoyu were brothers, they were not very close. Because he was jealous of him, the original owner often complained to Jia Zheng, which made Jia Zheng reprimand him.
The original owner was notoriously wicked.
So when the news of his visit to Baoyu got out, some people were afraid that he was going to see Baoyu to make things difficult for him, and that he was going to visit the Grand View Garden.
Of course, just to be on the safe side and in case no one went, he also brought more than a dozen people with him.
Sure enough, before he even reached the Grand View Garden, Madam Wang sent someone to tell him to go back.
It seems that Jia Baoyu has really gotten into trouble, and it's not a good thing. Otherwise, Lady Wang wouldn't have this attitude. Judging from her 'ashamed to be seen' appearance, it's very likely that yesterday's events have repeated themselves.
Oops!
The Jia family has a lot of messy affairs; it seems like they can ruin themselves without him having to lift a finger.
All he needs to do is show up when the weather is right and watch the show!
His previous analysis was correct; the Jia family was doomed.
Inside the Grand View Garden, Lady Wang sat in the flower hall with a gloomy expression, while Jia Baoyu and Xiren lay on the bed in the main room, looking completely satisfied.
Jia Baoyu closed his eyes to rest; this was the first time he had ever done such a thing as daytime debauchery.
He didn't want to do it, but the fact that his master had pulled down his pants and spanked him yesterday was too shameful. Even though the injury wasn't serious and he didn't need to stay in bed, he was too ashamed to go out.
With nothing to do while cooped up in the room, Qingwen went to report to the matriarch, and Xiren sent everyone else away, leaving only him and Xiren. Young and vigorous, they simply couldn't resist.
After exercising, I slept much better.
Xi Ren, her face flushed, lay on Jia Baoyu, panting slightly. She had been far too bold today, giving in to this man in broad daylight.
However, thinking of Qingwen, who had gone to the old lady's place to report this morning, he felt secretly anxious.
As Baoyu grew older, it was time for someone to serve him. After he got married and his second wife entered the family, the servants would be promoted to concubines. Although both she and Qingwen were people placed by the old lady to serve Baoyu, she understood that the old lady had entrusted Qingwen with the position of Baoyu's concubine.
Although neither of them were born into a family, Qingwen's family had long since disappeared, so no one would come to redeem her. She was also more beautiful and had outstanding needlework skills, which made Baoyu very fond of her.
Most importantly, the old lady had officially assigned Qingwen to be Baoyu's maid, while she herself was still a maid in the old lady's room. So, from this perspective, she wasn't even Baoyu's maid; she was a maid in the old lady's room.
She came from a poor family and her family was so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat. Her parents had no choice but to sell her into the Rongguo Mansion. Although she was just a maid who served others, she ate and used better than girls from ordinary families. She had had enough of the hard life. Although her family's life had improved a lot in recent years, how could it compare to the Rongguo Mansion?
Even being a concubine in the household is much better than marrying one of those poor peasants outside.
Moreover, Baoyu is handsome and knows how to cherish girls, making him the perfect husband.
Now, among all the maids in the courtyard, only Qingwen is her match.
She wasn't as beautiful as Qingwen, so she would compete on her reputation for virtue, striving to earn a name of gentleness and kindness within the household.
The old lady had no intention of making her Baoyu's concubine, so she should get close to the second wife and try to win her support.
Within the Yihong Courtyard, he eliminated dissidents one by one, cutting off all those who stood in his way.
Her treatment of Baoyu was even simpler. Although he was still a child at heart, he was a man after all. After they had been intimate, she became his first woman and held a place in his heart.
And reality did not disappoint her hard work. Yesterday, after learning that Baoyu was beaten because of Jinchuan, she did not comfort Baoyu. Instead, she went to the Second Madam to speak, specifically saying things like she was afraid that Baoyu would be seduced by the girls in the garden.
The second wife was indeed pleased to hear this, praised her highly, gave her many rewards, and told her to keep a close eye on the people around Baoyu when she returned.
Now that she has the Madam's permission, she can start to target Qingwen.
She even defeated Baoyu's wet nurse, Granny Li, so how could Qingwen be her match?
Thinking this, Xi Ren felt a little calmer. After resting for a while, she dared not lie down any longer, as it was almost time and the people in the courtyard should all be back.
When Xiren got up, Baoyu was already fast asleep. He felt the movement of the person next to him, murmured a couple of times, turned over, and fell asleep again.
Xiren, who was waiting for Baoyu to say comforting words, sighed upon seeing this: "He's still just a child, he doesn't quite understand women's hearts! Oh well, we'll teach him slowly!"
After getting dressed, Xiren smoothed her hair as she walked out, intending to go back to her room to change and do her makeup again.
To her surprise, just as she stepped out the door, three or four old women suddenly rushed out, wielding ropes and charging at her like wolves.
Xiren was terrified and opened her mouth to shout, but the head maid quickly stuffed a wad of cotton cloth into her mouth to stop her from spitting it out. She also tied a strip of cloth around her head to prevent her from spitting it out.
