Shu Li returned to mother Lin's room,

She smiled and said, "Madam,

The relationship between young madam and young master is indeed very harmonious.

Young master is also mischievous,

He actually gave young madam the name 'Ruosang' and was teased by young madam. "

Although she was young, because her mother and grandmother were both maidservants by Mother Lin's side, with such a relationship, Shu Li was naturally different from the other maidservants in front of Mother Lin.

When Mother Lin heard this word,

She immediately smiled. "They all say that they are waiting to be married, but many people don't have a word after they get married.

Ruhai, this kid, likes his wife,

Even his own word, 'the sea turns into mulberry fields',

I don't know who taught her. "

Mother Lin was a young lady from a scholarly family, how could she not know what 'the sea turns into mulberry fields' meant?

However, didn't the master also have the same deep affection for her back then?

She only hoped that in the future, Ruhai wouldn't follow his father's example and break the promise halfway.

Mother Lin sighed in disappointment.

With the guidance of the elders in the family,

Shu Li naturally understood that mother Lin was thinking of the master.

In order not to make her sad,

Shu Li quickly talked about another matter. "Speaking of which, why did Madam hand over the housekeeping authority to young madam on the second day of the wedding?

Young madam is young,

How can she get started immediately? "

"Moreover, we haven't spent much time together, and no one understands young madam's personality. If we hand over the housekeeping authority rashly,

If young madam is not a good person,

What if she is not filial to Madam?

Moreover, young madam is still young,

Wouldn't Madam scare her by doing this? "

Shu Li was already old, and her family had already arranged her marriage, so she was not worried about young madam's personality.

However, Mother Lin would spend time with young madam every day in the future, and the housekeeping authority would be handed over to young madam. What if young madam secretly made things difficult for Madam in the future?

She couldn't be middle-aged and live a life of dissatisfaction, right?

However, Mother Lin only smiled. "That girl's methods are not comparable to others. She's also very bold. How can she be easily scared?

If she's really scared, I won't take a fancy to her. "

Shu Li only heard the first half of the sentence and immediately became anxious. "If that's the case, why did Madam …"

"Tomorrow, Ruhai will accompany his wife back to her home."

Lin Mu sat on the chair with a loving smile on her face. "This is the last step of the wedding, so she should be satisfied.

Anyway, I originally planned to let her be the housekeeper as soon as she marries. A few days earlier can make her happier. "

"Come to think of it, Shu Er should understand why I gave her the storehouse key at this time."

Thinking of her previous meeting with Jia Su, Mama Lin smiled. She was not a well-behaved girl. The backyard was not a place that could keep her in.

But so what?

If she hadn't been tied down by Ruhai's father for the first half of her life, and was willing to draw a circle on the ground as a prison, wouldn't this back residence still be unable to hold her?

Now that she was old, she would be happy if she could see others living the life of her dreams.

Does Jia Su know why Mother Lin gave her the key?

Of course he didn't know.

Before her marriage, she had only met Mother Lin once due to an accident. Including the time when she had possessed a mosquito, they had only met twice.

Her understanding of Mother Lin was really limited.

But sitting next to her was Lin Ruhai, who knew Mother Lin very well.

He was also stunned when he saw the big bunch of keys, but then he smiled. "Tomorrow is the day of the return visit. Presumably, mother wants Ruosang to personally pick out tomorrow's gift."

Hearing the two words "Ruosang," Jia Su didn't react at first.

She turned around and saw Lin Ruhai laughing heartily. Only then did she realize that he was talking to her. She couldn't help but say helplessly, "How can you pick out your own gift?"

Although it had only been a while since Jia Su married into the Lin family, her experience in the Lin family was more relaxed than when she was in the Jia family. Because of this, she had almost forgotten about the return visit.

If possible, Jia Su didn't want to go back to the Jia family at all.

Unfortunately, returning to the Lin family had long become a way to show whether the new bride was having a good time in her in-laws' family. Not only did she have to carefully prepare the gift, but she also had to be in her best state of mind when she returned. She couldn't let people suspect that she wasn't having a good time in the Lin family.

After Lin Ruhai's reminder, she came to her senses.

By doing this, Mother Lin had given her the initiative.

Presumably, Mother Lin had already inquired about her relationship with the Jia family, hadn't she?

Lin Ruhai didn't care at all. "Mother has already mentioned this to me more than once. She said that as soon as the bride marries into the family, she should immediately hand over the management of the family to her."

It seemed that no matter who married Lin Ruhai, Mother Lin would do the same.

With this thought, Jia Su's guard in her heart loosened a little. As long as it wasn't a trap for her, it was fine.

After being satisfied with Jia Su, Mother Lin began to brainwash her son. Hiding her achievements and fame!

Newlyweds were tired of each other and felt that no matter how close they were, it wasn't enough.

Not to mention Jia Su, Lin Ruhai, this young boy who had just started eating, restrained his weakness of being easily shy and always tried to create opportunities to get close to Jia Su.

Jia Su was even more outstanding. Not only did she acquiesce to his little actions every time, but she also always "accidentally" touched or kissed Lin Ruhai, causing Lin Ruhai to be extremely embarrassed. That red color never left his face.

If it wasn't for the fact that it wasn't good to be lewd in broad daylight, perhaps the two of them would have already gone off the rails.

But even so, Lin Ruhai's eyes were red from being teased by Jia Su. If it weren't for the two servant girls standing next to her, he almost couldn't restrain his gentlemanly demeanor and really did something to her.

The key point was that Jia Su had nothing to fear. Moreover, she was a good-for-nothing who only cared about teasing her husband.

Every time she saw that he was about to lose control and make a move, she immediately moved away from Lin Ruhai. She even said, "I'm letting my husband calm down as soon as possible. If other people see you like this, it won't be good."

He didn't know if she was deliberately trying to anger him, but every time at this time, her gaze would always wander three inches below his navel, causing his whole body to heat up more and more.

Of course, his brain also couldn't help but heat up.

Lin Ruhai: "…" At this moment, he crazily wanted to throw away Confucius's teachings and press her on the bed to spank her butt.

When he calmed down and thought about it, this wouldn't do.

He could also see that this wife of his was a troublemaker who took pleasure in teasing him. If he continued to be alone with his wife in the room, he would have to constantly repeat this embarrassing experience of being teased to the point where he had no choice but to force himself to remain calm.

After thinking it through, Lin Ruhai simply stood up and said, "Wife, our family's garden is quite well built. It's not the same style as Jia family's. Let's go take a stroll to help with digestion."

Jia Su originally didn't want to agree, but Lin Ruhai unexpectedly insisted.

She thought that if she really pushed him too far, Lin Ruhai would avoid her whenever he saw her. Wouldn't that make life a lot less fun?

So she agreed.

Lin Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned around and was about to leave, but when he thought of the scene when he came back this morning, he reluctantly turned around and went to Jia Su's side and took her hand.

As he held her hand and walked out, he warned Jia Su with a serious expression, "Now that it's just the two of us, husband and wife, if Sang doesn't want to be separated from me and wants to be closer to me, I naturally won't refuse you.

But in front of your mother, Ruosang, you can't be so unreserved anymore. "

Jia Su, "…???"

She lowered her head and looked at her hand that was tightly held by Lin Ruhai. Feeling the sweat on his palm, she almost laughed out loud.

She didn't expect that after she taught him to remember to hold hands when no one was around in the morning, he would remember it well in the afternoon.

His learning ability must be encouraged!

With this thought in mind, Jia Su used her free hand to tug on Lin Ruhai's sleeve. When he turned around in confusion, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed the corner of his mouth.

Lin Ruhai was startled. He quickly turned around and led her away.

But if one looked closely, one could see that not only were the tips of his ears red, but he was also staggering a little.

After all, the Lin family was a family of scholars. Even if the previous generations had given up on the imperial examinations, the architectural style of the family's home, as well as the garden that the owners usually spent most of their time in, was definitely simple and elegant. It definitely couldn't be the same as the magnificent style of Rongguo Province.

On this point, Jia Su only took a quick glance when she went to serve tea to Mother Lin in the morning, but she already knew.

It was only when she reached the garden that Jia Su felt the difference between the Lin family and the Jia family.

Every mistress of the Jia family was of noble birth, and the Jia family itself was of noble birth. Therefore, most of the buildings in Rongguo Province were luxurious and magnificent. Even the flowers and plants in their garden were expensive and beautiful. When they bloomed, they were incomparably gorgeous.

However, the Lin family was more inclined towards the exquisite and complicated style of Jiangnan's gardens. They paid particular attention to the scenery at one glance. Most of the flowers and plants in the garden weren't eye-catching.

At least, Jia Su had almost finished walking through the garden corridor. She didn't have much of an impression of the flowers and plants on both sides of the corridor. She only felt that the whole thing was beautiful.

After walking through the corridor, Lin Ruhai pointed at a tender yellow orchid and asked her, "This is the Song Mei. Do you like it?"

Jia Su really didn't know much about orchids. However, she had heard of the Song Mei, which was obviously an orchid but was called the "Mei". It was a well-known species of the Four Great Spring Orchids.

She was a little surprised and leaned over, "So this is the Song Mei. It's really beautiful."

"Ruosu, you haven't seen it before?"

Lin Ruhai didn't have any other intentions. He just felt that it was strange.

Although the Song Mei was called the Four Great Spring Orchids, it was because of its fame that there were many gardeners who cultivated this species of orchid. Not to mention the rich and powerful, it was not uncommon to see it in the homes of ordinary officials.

Jia Su didn't want to hide it at all. She waved her hand and said, "No one in the Jia family likes orchids."

Madam Jia did like orchids for a period of time. It was said that when she was in her boudoir, she didn't know much about orchids. When she went out to socialize, she was scolded by people of similar status who didn't like her. After she came back, she not only found someone to teach her how to appreciate orchids, but also learned what the other young ladies of the scholarly families should learn.

But after she completely stabilized her position as the mistress of Rongguo Province, no one dared to talk nonsense to her anymore. She was abandoned by her again.

Even if she acted like she liked orchids in front of other madams and young ladies, her true love was only flowers like peonies and peonies.

Orchids were flowers that carried her unbearable memories. Even if they didn't disappear from Rongguo Province, they would only appear in the corner of the garden.

At least, Jia Su hadn't even seen the shadow of orchids.

Lin Ruhai asked again, "Then do you like them?"

Jia Su shook her head, "I like roses more."

To her, orchids were too plain, and peonies were too gorgeous.

Jia Su looked at Lin Ruhai and smiled, "What, you don't like them?"

She wasn't worried that Lin Ruhai didn't know what roses were. After all, roses had appeared in documents as early as the Han Dynasty.

She was just wondering if a person who didn't like orchids but liked roses would affect Lin Ruhai's impression of her.

"Your husband really doesn't like roses," Lin Ruhai's mind was alarmed, "But there aren't many people in this world who like roses, right?

But if Ruo Su likes them, your husband can ask my schoolmates from Jiangnan to help find a gardener who specializes in cultivating roses. When the time comes, we can open up a special place in the garden to plant roses. "

Jia Su narrowed her eyes and didn't say anything.

Lin Ruhai straightened his back, "If my wife is still not satisfied, your husband will ask my mother. As long as my mother agrees, we can remove all the flowers and plants in the garden and plant roses everywhere."

Even now, when he realized that their relationship was in danger, he didn't try to curry favor with Jia Su without any bottom line.

Others might not like this attitude, but it hit the spot in Jia Su's heart.

If Lin Ruhai really didn't care about the mother who gave birth to him and raised him, and if he really forgot about her after getting a wife, she wouldn't dare to treat him with sincerity.

Jia Su couldn't imagine how a person who could abandon his own mother would treat her after their relationship cooled down, even if it was because of a moment of infatuation.

Now that things were like this, it showed that Lin Ruhai wasn't a heartless person.

Even though she didn't like him, at least Jia Su didn't have any bad feelings towards Lin Ruhai.

-

After the two went to the storeroom to pick out a gift for tomorrow's visit, they went back to their room to eat dinner. After that, Jia Su and Lin Ruhai washed up separately before returning to their bedroom to sleep.

Lin Ruhai remembered his mother's advice and didn't plan on touching Jia Su tonight.

Jia Su also felt that their bodies were still young, and frequent sexual intercourse was harmful to their health. She also didn't plan on doing anything tonight.

However, the two of them underestimated the attraction they had for each other.

The two of them shared a bed and a blanket. Their hands touched, their feet touched, and they breathed in each other's breaths …

It was the time when young people couldn't stand teasing, and the person lying next to them was their legal husband (wife). How could they not be aroused?

At first, the two of them were worried that they would wake each other up, so they didn't dare to move.

It was okay to maintain the same posture for a while, but it was uncomfortable after a while.

Even though she could tell from Lin Ruhai's breathing that he wasn't asleep, Jia Su didn't care. She turned over with her back facing Lin Ruhai.

The moment she moved, Lin Ruhai sensed it.

He opened his eyes and waited for a while. He couldn't help but reach out and touch Jia Su's back.

Jia Su: "…" Did he really think that I was asleep?!

Early the next morning, Jia Su woke up first. She got up energetically and put on her clothes. Then, she leaned over and kissed Lin Ruhai awake.

Lin Ruhai: "…"

When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly got up.

"Hiss …" Lin Ruhai couldn't help but hold his back.

Jia Su blinked. "… Is it uncomfortable?"

Lin Ruhai: "… Ruosu, aren't you uncomfortable?"

Jia Su: "… Not at all."

The two of them looked at each other, speechless.

Soon, Lin Ruhai understood what this meant. His face darkened.

Jia Su thought for a while and added, "From tomorrow onwards, you have to train with me."

Although she was prepared for the poor health of ancient scholars, Lin Ruhai was in his best condition now, right?

How could it be …

Lin Ruhai complained with his eyes: It's all because of you!

Jia Su turned her head away, not daring to look Lin Ruhai in the eye.

However, Jia Su didn't agree with his complaint.

How could he blame her for this?

Even if he wanted to push all the blame to her, wouldn't it only prove that her health was too good?

But didn't it also prove that Lin Ruhai's health wasn't good enough?

Lin Ruhai saw the disapproval in Jia Su's eyes. "…"

Thinking about it, the fact that Jia Su's health was better than his seemed to have started on their wedding night.

At that time, when Jia Su was in the middle of it, he seemed to be a little powerless.

However, even if he was addicted to reading and didn't exercise his body much, so his body was weak. But how did Jia Shu, a woman from the boudoir, train her body to be better than his?

Would Rongguo Province really agree?

Jia Su pulled him up from the bed. "You'll know tomorrow."

After having breakfast with Mother Lin, Lin Ruhai was taken to check on the returning gift. After confirming that there were no mistakes, Mother Lin sent the two of them out of the Lin Mansion with a satisfied expression.

Because he valued Lin Ruhai, Jia Daishan opened the main gate early and sent someone to guard the entrance of Ningrong Street.

The servant recognized Uncle Wen An's carriage from afar and ran into Rongguo Province to report.

When Jia Xie led Jia Zheng and his wife out to welcome them, Lin Ruhai and his wife just happened to arrive.

Lin Ruhai got off the carriage first, then turned around, waved Chi Xia and his wife away, and personally led Jia Su down from the carriage.

Jia Zheng didn't feel much about it, and Jia Xie was just happy that Jia Su was living well in the Lin family. However, when the Chang Clan and Wang Clan saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel envious.

Even on the day of Jia Min's return, she didn't see her husband do this.

Jia Su really profited from a disaster and picked up a treasure.

Chang Clan glanced at Jia Xie, pursed her lips, and lowered her head.

Although Jia Xie wasn't considerate enough, she was loyal to her, so she was envious, but not jealous.

However, after Wang Clan glanced at the ignorant Jia Zheng, she engraved this scene in her heart with red eyes.

Thinking about the days after she married Jia Zheng, she couldn't compare to her sister-in-law, who always competed with her, couldn't compare to Jia Min, who always looked down on her. Now, she couldn't even compare to Jia Su, the daughter of a concubine!

How could the Wang Clan, who always competed with each other in her maternal family, endure this?

Thinking about the two daughters of a concubine who used to live a worse life than her, but who gradually rose to fame in the capital's social circle with the help of Caizhuang Pavilion, the Wang Clan hated them even more.

After going around in circles, she had actually become the worst female member of the Jia Family!

Everyone's attention was on Jia Su and her husband, so no one noticed that something was wrong with the Wang Clan.

The people who lived on Ningrong Street were all members of the Jia family, and they seemed to be born with a pair of snobbish eyes.

Previously, when they saw how considerate Lin Ruhai was to Jia Su, they didn't feel anything. However, when they saw Lin Ruhai's servants continuously moving gifts down, they all widened their eyes.

Especially when one of the servants didn't pay attention to his feet and slipped, accidentally revealing the gold in the wooden box …

They reached out to measure the size of the wooden box, and their interest reached the peak.

"It seems that the third daughter of the Duke Rongguo family is quite likable. She married into the Lin family as a daughter of a concubine, but she didn't attract the disgust of the Lin family. She's quite capable."

"That's right. When I heard that the Duke Rongguo wanted to change the marriage between the legitimate daughter and the concubine's daughter, I felt that it was going to be bad.

But now it seems that even such a ridiculous matter as changing the marriage was handled perfectly. Let's not mention the Zhou family, but the Lin family didn't say a single unpleasant word. The Duke Rongguo is indeed the Duke Rongguo. "

"Doesn't anyone think that it's Jia Su's seduction?"

"Shut your mouth right now!

Aren't you afraid that Uncle Rong Wen An will hear you and teach you a lesson? "

Sure enough, that person didn't dare to speak again.

In the eyes of these Jia family members who relied on the Ning and Rong families, although the Ning and Rong families were the most powerful people in the capital other than the imperial family and the four princes, Uncle Rong Wen An was enough to scare people.

Knowing that Uncle Rong Wen An might teach them a lesson for speaking ill of Jia Su, no one dared to speak nonsense.

… …

Regardless of what other people thought, no one dared to look down on Lin Ruhai because of the gold and silver gifts he brought.

Unfortunately, when Jia Su asked Chi Xia to bring the box of gifts to the Jia family members, except for the Wang Clan, no one was happy.

Jia Su smiled and thought, 'I'm really happy to be mischievous ~'

After seeing enough of other people's expressions, Jia Su asked Chi Xia to bring the gifts to the Wang Clan.

Then, he asked Cui Yan to open the other gifts.

It was Jia Zheng's. Jia Shu had heard that Jia Zheng was quite talented in studying and was preparing to take the imperial examinations in the future. In the book, there was a saying that Jia Zheng was very favored by Jia Daishan and his wife because he was good at studying. Jia Shu had directly asked Lin Ruhai to make a copy of the books and notes that he had used for the imperial examinations all these years and then prepared to give it to Jia Zheng as a gift.

Just these books and notes alone took up two big boxes.

Jia Zheng looked at it and the corners of his mouth twitched. However, when he saw Jia Daishan's gratified expression, he didn't dare to say anything. Instead, he had to happily thank Lin Ruhai and his wife.

Then, there was the Chang Clan's gift.

After all, the Chang Clan was the daughter of a scholarly family. If they gave her the same gift as the Wang Clan's, even if she didn't say it on the surface, she definitely wouldn't be happy.

Therefore, Jia Su gave her a few handwritten copies of the Lin family's collection. Most of them were poems, biographies of famous people, or travel notes.

For women like the Chang Clan who were trapped in the backyard, it was very attractive.

Sure enough, the Chang Clan sincerely thanked Jia Su, "Thank you, little sister. Sister-in-law likes this gift very much.

If you need anything in the future, just come to me. "

As for Jia Xie?

It was clearly written in A Dream of the Red Chamber that Jia Xie's only two hobbies in his life were beauties and fans.

It was impossible for Jia Su to give away beauties, even if he was beaten to death.

However, the Lin family had hidden countless fans.

Even if Lin Ruhai made his own fans, they were all high-quality goods outside.

Jia Su gave her five fans.

Jia Xie was naturally overjoyed. He hugged the fans on the spot and didn't let go. He didn't even notice Jia Daishan's fierce glare.

The final highlight was the Jia Daishan couple.

Jia Su really didn't know anything about these two people, including Jia Daishan's mother, who took up a lot of space in A Dream of the Red Chamber. However, if he thought about it carefully, he realized that she had never revealed her true preferences to other people.

At most, she only showed a faint dislike for greasy things and didn't like gold or silver.

But what did she like?

Jia Baoyu?

But Jia Su couldn't give her a Jia Baoyu now!

And Jia Daishan, who had been in a high position for a long time, was even less likely to reveal his preferences because he was worried about being secretly harmed. He wasn't even picky about food.

In order to be safe, Jia Su decided to combine the two of them and give them a pair of jade ornaments with the meaning of pine and crane to prolong life.

A trace of displeasure flashed through Jia Daishan's mother's eyes, but Jia Su's gift really couldn't be wrong, so she could only endure it.

However, Jia Daishan glanced at her with an ambiguous expression.

Jia Su curled his lips and met Jia Daishan's eyes, not to be outdone.

Jia Daishan's pupils shrank. The aura that he had been restraining suddenly exploded, scaring the others in the hall.

Only Lin Ruhai, because before Jia Su looked at Jia Daishan, he walked in front of him and blocked him.

At this moment, looking at the others' panicked expressions, his young face was full of confusion, "Ruosang, what's wrong?"

Jia Su hurriedly turned back to comfort Lin Ruhai, "It's okay."

Lin Ruhai frowned, "But Eldest Brother-in-law and Second Brother-in-law …"

Jia Daishan had been with Jia Daishan for a long time, so she was used to his murderous aura from the battlefield. Although she was scared, she didn't lose her composure.

Lin Ruhai's eyes were fixed on Jia Su because of her sudden movement, so naturally, he didn't notice her.

Jia Daishan was the source of all this, so naturally, he didn't make any big movements.

The Chang Clan and Wang Clan were women, so they had been sitting in the corner. As a man, Lin Ruhai wouldn't look in their direction.

Therefore, Lin Ruhai only noticed Jia Xie and Jia Daishan, who were sweating profusely.

Jia Su smiled and turned back, "Husband, it's really okay. Just now, a bug flew through the middle. Eldest Brother and Second Brother might have been scared."

Lin Ruhai naturally didn't believe her, but now wasn't the time to pursue the matter. He could only keep his mouth shut, full of doubts.

Seeing that Jia Su could still talk and laugh without any change in her expression under the pressure of his aura, and even protect Lin Ruhai, Jia Daishan looked at Jia Su with a deeper gaze.

He already knew what he wanted to know, so naturally, he withdrew his aura.

In the face of Lin Ruhai's doubts, he smiled like a real kind elder, "Ruhai, don't worry. My two sons are too timid. One or two bugs can really scare them. They're very useless."

With Jia Daishan's personal explanation, Lin Ruhai believed most of it, even if he still found it unbelievable that his two brothers-in-law would be afraid of bugs.

After all, Jia Daishan was their biological father. He couldn't smear his son's reputation, right?

Lin Ruhai quickly stood out from behind Jia Su and bowed to Jia Daishan, "It's my son-in-law's shallow knowledge."

Jia Daishan laughed and waved his hand, "It's nothing."

After Lin Ruhai and his wife gave gifts, the others naturally had to give gifts in return.

However, because of Lin Ruhai's third place status, the others unexpectedly chose to give the couple books, calligraphy, paintings, and other elegant things.

After giving gifts, Lin Ruhai still stayed in the front hall, but Jia Su followed Jia Shi and others back to the backyard.

At this time, Jia Shi and Jia Su should have a heart-to-heart talk. However, whether it was Jia Su, Jia Gu, or Jia Zhi, Jia Shi chose to pretend to be unwell and go back to the bedroom to rest. The Chang Clan and Wang Clan would talk to her.

The location of the heart-to-heart talk was Jia Su's courtyard before she got married.

Looking at the almost unchanged furnishings in the room, Jia Su chuckled, but there was no fluctuation in his eyes.

Only a comfortable place could evoke the good memories of the past. A bad place could only evoke the most annoying memories in the bottom of one's heart.

In the face of this so-called heart-to-heart talk, the three people present were a little embarrassed.

At that time, Jia Gu and Jia Zhi had to rely on Rongguo Province in the future, so naturally, they didn't have the courage to refuse.

Jia Su had the courage to refuse, but he didn't want to make things difficult for the Chang Clan, so he simply stayed and chatted with the Chang Clan for a while.

When it was almost time, Jia Shi had no reason to make things difficult for the two, so she got up and said goodbye, "Sisters-in-law, I'll go first."

Chang Clan was stunned and hurriedly returned the salute, "It's okay."

Wang Clan was happy to receive the gifts they wanted, so he wanted to help Jia Su, "Third sister, are you going to see Concubine Hu?

Don't waste your time. Concubine Hu was seriously ill some time ago. She was moved to the farmstead because she was afraid of infecting other people in the mansion. "

"No one told you because they were worried that it would affect third sister's marriage."

Chang Clan narrowed his eyes. He didn't know what to say about Wang Clan's outspoken character.

The people present were not idiots. They could understand that there was something fishy about Concubine Hu's "serious illness" when they thought about the change in attitude of Jia Daishan and his wife before Jia Su got married.

But no one would be stupid enough to say it so clearly.

Women in the inner courtyard, who didn't beat around the bush?

Who couldn't understand what was going on?

However, Wang Clan had already said it clearly. If she continued to be secretive at this time, it would easily make Jia Su unhappy, "Third sister, you can rest assured. Concubine Hu's illness has been cured for a long time. Now it's just that her illness is like pulling silk, so it's not easy to move her."

Jia Su smiled and didn't care.

When she found out that a month before the wedding, not only was the bride not allowed to see outsiders, but she couldn't even leave her courtyard, she was worried that Jia Daishan would make a move on Concubine Hu. She was even more worried that Concubine Hu would be put under house arrest by Jia Daishan. She was worried that Concubine Hu would be implicated and end her own life. Therefore, early on, she had Chi Xia get a fat rat and tie it in a bag so that she could exchange information with Concubine Hu all day long.

Even after the wedding, she didn't relax her attention on Concubine Hu.

Therefore, in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, no one knew Concubine Hu's recent situation better than Jia Daishan.

But after listening to Chang Clan's conversation, did Jia Daishan intend to bring Concubine Hu back to Rongguo Province from the farmstead?

Jia Su narrowed her eyes. That's right. The farmstead's security wasn't as strict as Rongguo Province's. If Concubine Hu was really put under house arrest in Rongguo Province, other people wouldn't be able to take her away.

Unfortunately, Jia Daishan was wrong about one thing.

She never thought of letting Concubine Hu live in secret.

If she wanted to take Concubine Hu away, she naturally had to do it openly. Why did she have to do such a sneaky thing?

Jia Su waved her hand at the two, "I'm not going to find Concubine Hu."

Of course, the person she was looking for was, and could only be …

Jia Daishan.

Recently, because of the wedding, Jia Su had been closely watched by the people sent by Madam Jia. They didn't rest day and night. She had no way to change the note in the rat bag.

During the two days of her wedding, she was constantly in the sight of Lin Ruhai and the maids of the Lin family. She didn't dare to expose herself.

Even if that fat rat kept appearing, Concubine Hu's mental state had become somewhat extreme recently because she hadn't received any news about her for a long time. Jia Su saw this and was always worried that Concubine Hu would commit suicide at any time.

So today, she exposed herself without hiding, just to see Concubine Hu.

Lin Ruhai had been sent away by Jia Daishan. He accompanied the Jia Xie, who had just received a few fans and was now in high spirits, to taste the fans.

Jia Su didn't go directly to Jia Daishan's study, but went to Madam Jia's room.

At this time, the sun was high in the sky. She and Jia Daishan didn't see each other for many years. Even if they were father and daughter, they could only meet in Madam Jia's room to avoid suspicion and keep it a secret.

The maids outside the room had been sent away. Jia Su directly entered the room without any notice.

Jia Daishan sat on the main seat. After seeing Jia Su, he said lightly, "Shu 'er, you really came."

Jia Su smiled, "Isn't this what you want?"

Jia Daishan paused. He didn't blame Jia Su for not calling him "father". Instead, he pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit."

Jia Su didn't refuse. She walked over and sat down.

Jia Daishan frowned, "Rude!"

Jia Su rolled her eyes in her heart. She didn't want to argue with him.

Time was limited, so she chose to get straight to the point, "Tell me, which village is Concubine Hu locked up in now?

When do you plan to bring her back? "

Jia Daishan glanced at her. His eyes were full of pity that Jia Su couldn't be used by him.

He was most proud of his sharp eyes. How could he not see that Jia Su didn't care about him, or even the whole Jia family?

Jia Daishan was a smart person. He immediately dismissed the idea of talking about feelings with Jia Su.

The more he looked, the more annoyed he became. He simply closed his eyes, "Jia Su, you should know that I can't tell you this."

Jia Su couldn't hold back. She looked at Jia Daishan and laughed. Her eyes were full of ridicule, "Even if you don't tell me, what can I do?

Can't I investigate it myself? "

Perhaps because Jia Su's tone was too sharp, Jia Daishan couldn't hold back and opened his eyes, "If you still care about Concubine Hu, then I can't let you find out."

At this point, Jia Daishan had already treated Jia Shu as someone who was on equal footing with him.

Not to mention the rest of the Jia family, even the whole imperial court couldn't make him do this.

Jia Su didn't take it to heart. She just nodded, "Just as I expected."

She changed her sitting position.

In front of Jia Daishan, she directly crossed her legs.

Although she wanted to test how much tolerance Jia Daishan had for her, it had to be said that this "undignified" sitting position was the most comfortable Jia Su had ever been since she transmigrated to A Dream of Red Mansions.

Jia Daishan looked at her unkindly, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

He lowered his eyes and mentioned something that seemed to have nothing to do with Jia Su, "After Min 'er got married, I sent people to investigate everything about that Marquis Dingnan's concubine-born son from birth to marriage. In order to marry Min' er, he decisively gave his concubine-born son and daughter to the Zhou Family branch for adoption. He also sold all of his previous concubines …"

"He's just a good-for-nothing good-for-nothing. He doesn't look like someone who can rely on his own ability to win the fight for the throne, get promoted, and even surpass his brother who inherited the foundation of his ancestors."

Jia Su listened, but she didn't react at all.

Jia Daishan's eyes scanned her face. He was disappointed to find that she really didn't have the slightest change in expression.

Could it be that he guessed wrong? Jia Su wasn't like Min 'er, someone who came back from decades in the future?

Could it be that Min 'er's memory was wrong?

As soon as this thought flashed through Jia Daishan's mind, he simply erased it.

Impossible. Although Min 'er was limited by the matters between men and women and completely lost her intelligence after marriage, her memory had always been good. It was impossible for her to make a mistake about such an important matter.

Although he didn't care about his concubine-born daughters, he did pay attention to them when they were young so that they could be married off in the future.

Unfortunately, other than Jia Zhi, Jia Gu and Jia Su didn't have any special qualities that were worthy of his attention.

Even Jia Zhi, because of his cold temperament and lack of affection for the Jia family, he had given up on him early on.

He absolutely didn't believe that Jia Su would suddenly become so smart that her imposing manner could contend against him.

To say something immodest, in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, there was no one else who could compare to him in terms of imposing manner other than the current emperor.

What was going on with Jia Su?

A dark light flashed through Jia Daishan's eyes. He suddenly thought of many folklore legends. Among them, the one he cared about the most was the reincarnation of a soul in someone else's body.

Thinking about it again, although he didn't know when Jia Su had changed, a few years ago, she really did suffer from a serious illness that could take away a person's life.

Thinking about Jia Su's words and deeds, although she didn't show much in Min 'er's memories of her past life, her shadow was everywhere in the life of that good-for-nothing Zhou Yu …

The only thing that puzzled him was Jia Su's concern for Concubine Hu.

But this wasn't a big deal. After all, regardless of whether it was Taoism or Buddhism, they all paid attention to karma. Since Jia Su had taken over his daughter's body, it wasn't unreasonable for him to want to take care of her birth mother for her.

Although Jia Su cared about Concubine Hu, she didn't have any affection for her.

Everything made sense now.

Having figured this out, Jia Daishan looked at Jia Su with a much colder gaze.

Facing a stranger who had taken over his daughter's body, he didn't need to be polite at all.

Jia Su didn't know that in just a few words, her identity had been exposed.

Of course, even if she knew, she wouldn't care.

Jia Daishan still wanted to use her, so naturally, he wouldn't do anything to her.

These influential people were all very bold.

"What do you want me to do?"

Jia Su saw that Jia Daishan suddenly lost patience with her, so she didn't beat around the bush and asked him directly.

Jia Daishan pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, his eyes burning, "I want something that can make a free person a marquis, or even a duke."

He knew that Jia Su's intelligence wasn't inferior to his, but this wasn't something he could use. It was better to get something tangible.

Jia Su laughed, "Duke Rongguo, are you joking with me?"

She reacted almost immediately to what Jia Daishan was talking about.

However, even she herself did not understand what she had used in Jia Min's dream to exchange for the title of nobility.

Besides, even if she knew, who would pay attention to her if she didn't succeed the emperor?

Oh, of course the emperor would pay attention to Jia Daishan.

But …

"The battle for the throne is about to start, right?

Even if you get something good that can make Jia Zheng a free title of nobility, will it be useful? "

Wasn't she afraid that a tall tree would attract the wind and harm the Jia family?

Jia Daishan calmed down instantly, as if a basin of cold water had been poured over him.

After a while, he asked, "But other than that, what do you have that's worth me exchanging with you?"
