Chapter 17

Mother Jia held onto Wang Xifeng's hand and calmed herself down. She looked at the manservant and said, "Invite Second Master over."

But the manservant kept his head buried and didn't dare to move.

Rather than go back and ask Second Master to leave in front of Assistant Minister He, it would be better for him to kneel here until he died.

Mother Jia's gaze circled around the manservant. In the end, she couldn't bear to embarrass her son.

Despite the raging fury in his heart, he forcefully suppressed it.

"Second Master said to bring Baoyu over?" Mother Jia asked.

"Yes, yes …" The manservant replied softly.

"Then bring him over." Mother Jia closed her eyes and said.

Mother Jia doted on Baoyu anxiously, but she knew that Jia Zheng was now the head of the family in Rongguo Province.

If she didn't do as Jia Zheng said, wouldn't she be humiliating Jia Zheng in front of everyone in Rongguo Province?

How would he maintain his prestige in the future?

Jia Zheng wasn't a father who didn't love his son.

When she saw that Baoyu was really sick, perhaps her anger would dissipate.

Thinking of this, Mother Jia calmed down and wasn't as angry as before.

"Go." Madam Jia said again.

"Mother!" Lady Wang was anxious.

Wang Xifeng glanced at her and anxiously tried to persuade her, "Old Ancestor, how can we do this?

Baoyu is very sick. How can we move him? "

Mother Jia was firm this time. "Go quickly. Don't let Second Master wait."

The ancients had many principles of filial piety.

Mother Jia was very authoritative in Rongguo Province. Once she spoke, even though Lady Wang was unhappy, she couldn't refute.

Wang Xifeng always followed Lady Wang's lead. Since Lady Wang didn't say anything, she wasn't that stupid and tried to persuade her.

At this moment, the manservant heaved a sigh of relief and scrambled up. Together with a few other nimble servants, he carried Baoyu off the bed.

They really carried him out.

Lady Wang saw this and couldn't help but hold her handkerchief tightly and wipe the corners of her eyes.

"What kind of sin have they committed?"

No one knew who she was referring to.

Perhaps because the atmosphere in the room was too tense, Madam Xing thought herself clever and opened her mouth to ask, "Is Miss Lin alright?"

Mother Jia glared at her, "What could have happened to Yu 'er?"

"Baoyu fell ill as soon as he came back from her place. As his aunt, I also felt bad seeing him like that.

Miss Lin didn't say anything and sent someone to take a look … "

Lady Wang's expression became more and more unsightly.

For a moment, no one in the room responded to her words. As Madam Xing spoke, she also felt that she had lost interest. She stopped talking and found a place to sit down.

She even raised her hand and tapped her leg as if nothing had happened.

Mother Jia had always looked down on her stupidity. At this moment, she said unhappily, "If you only know how to talk nonsense in front of me, then you don't need to stand in front of me in the future."

Lady Wang was startled. She quickly stood up and smiled apologetically.

"Let's wait. Baoyu should be back soon," Mother Jia said.

Wang Xifeng agreed and helped Mother Jia sit down.

The room quickly quieted down. But for some reason, it was so quiet that it made one's back feel cold.

On the other side.

Jia Zheng's courtyard was also terrifyingly quiet.

In the reception pavilion, Jia Zheng was even a little anxious.

He stood up and paced back and forth.

The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't tolerate Baoyu's unrestrained behavior.

On the other hand, He Shen was much calmer at this moment. He even had the leisure to turn the teacup in his hand.

His eyes were also casually looking at something.

At this moment, a series of footsteps approached. Someone shouted at the door, "Baoyu is here."

"Hurry up, be careful."

There was a lot of chatter outside, and there was a hint of panic.

"What kind of trick is this?" Jia Zheng said with a cold face.

In the next moment, a few servants carried Baoyu in. There was even a chair attached to his head.

Jia Zheng didn't see clearly at first. Seeing this, he sneered and said, "You want Baoyu to come and see me, and you need this kind of entourage?

Don't you understand filial piety at all? "

"Second Master, Bao Er Ye is sick."

"Sick?

You keep saying that he's sick.

Can't the doctor cure him? "Jia Zheng strode forward, grabbed Baoyu's collar, and was about to pull him up.

Baoyu had just taken the medicine, and his fever hadn't subsided. He was still in a daze. At this moment, hearing Jia Zheng's voice, he opened his mouth and shouted, "I want to see Sister Lin …"

"Where's Sister …"

Although his voice wasn't loud, it was enough for people in the room to hear clearly.

Jia Zheng was burning with anger. At that moment, he almost flipped the chair under Baoyu.

He Shen was even more unhappy.

He pressed the table under his hand tightly.

Another teacup in his hand was almost broken.

The servants in the room had long been used to Baoyu's insolent tone. At this moment, they didn't feel anything. But they were more or less influenced by Jia Zheng. They all lowered their heads and didn't dare to make a sound.

There was a dead silence in the room.

Jia Zheng gasped for breath. His eyes were red with anger, "Bring a stick."

The servant's legs went soft, "Second Master, Bao Er Ye is really sick.

Look at him, his face is still red.

It's very hot! "

"It's a good thing that he blushed when he knew!

But now he doesn't feel ashamed at all! "Jia Zheng was even more furious.

He didn't wait for the servant to bring the stick.

He lifted his foot and kicked the chair.

Baoyu was leaning on the chair. He didn't have any strength in his body.

Suddenly, he was kicked so hard that he flipped over with the chair.

He lay on the ground, moaned twice, and then stopped moving.

The servants were scared out of their wits.

He shouted to the heavens, "Second Master Bao!"

"What's wrong with Bao Er Ye?"

"Is Bao Er Ye all right?"

If something were to happen to Baoyu here, when they turned around, Second Master would definitely punish them.

He might even drag some of them out and beat them to death.

Jia Zheng was also shocked at this moment.

A gust of wind blew through the hall, turning the hot sweat on his head into cold sweat. He felt a chill down his spine.

Now that he gradually calmed down, Jia Zheng wasn't as angry as he was before.

He stared at Baoyu for a while. Seeing that Baoyu didn't move at all, the servants howled loudly …

Jia Zheng's heart skipped a beat. He had to squat down to take a look, "What's wrong?"

Could it be that he was really sick?

"Go and call the doctor. Hurry up!" Jia Zheng said angrily.

The servants hurriedly ran out.

At this moment, Mrs. Jia and the others were still waiting for Baoyu to come back.

Seeing that half an hour had passed, Lady Wang couldn't help but feel anxious, "Why isn't he back yet?

Could it be that Baoyu went and angered Master again? "

"Wait a little longer."

Lady Wang could only suppress her irritation and continue to wait.

She could be calm in any situation, but when it came to Baoyu, it was always difficult for her to be calm.

In Jia Zheng's courtyard.

The doctor trotted in with the help of a servant.

At this moment in the hall, Baoyu had already sat up with the help of a servant girl.

Jia Zheng finally saw clearly that Baoyu's face was indeed abnormally red.

Jia Zheng felt a little regretful, but this regret was replaced by deep anxiety.

Even if he was angry, even if he wanted to discipline Baoyu, he shouldn't have picked such a time.

He was really sick.

Baoyu was his only son.

Especially when he thought of Jia Zhu, who died of illness in his early years, Jia Zheng felt even more anxious.

He paced back and forth in the hall again.

He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he saw the doctor come in.

He Shen sat there and didn't move. He watched this farce coldly, watching how Jia Zheng pretended to be serious.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and his smile was a little sharp.

But Jia Zheng couldn't care less about him at this moment.

Jia Zheng asked the doctor, "Quick, take a look at Baoyu. What's wrong with him?"

The doctor hurried to take a closer look and said, "It's okay. He took the medicine just now.

I watched him drink it before I left.

He's sweating to remove the poison now.

He'll be fine after a rest. "

Jia Zheng didn't believe him, "Really?"

The doctor said, "How would I dare to fool Second Master?"

Jia Zheng thought so too.

Who would dare to fool the governor of Rongguo Province?

He breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before he could finish heaving a sigh of relief, Jia Zheng felt awkward.

Wouldn't He Shen be able to see through the torment just now?

In the end, the doctor said that there was nothing serious and that he had already taken the medicine.

Jia Zheng didn't want to show his embarrassment, so his face darkened. He forced himself to calm down, turned around, and looked at He Shen, "Brother Zhizhai, please don't laugh at me."

He Shen just looked at him coldly and didn't say anything.

He seemed to be very disappointed.

Jia Zheng's heart skipped a beat. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

He Shen had expected this.

Jia Zheng boasted that his family was strict, and usually he was the one who strictly disciplined Baoyu.

But why was Baoyu still so licentious?

Was he not repentant at all?

It wasn't just because other people were protecting Baoyu, nor was it because Baoyu was a good-for-nothing.

Jia Zheng was the second master of the family in Rongguo Province, but he didn't have the courage to discipline his own son.

He couldn't teach him well.

But couldn't he make Baoyu feel pain and know how to avoid it?

But often, his heart softened before he did it.

In the end, this nest of people in Rongguo Province couldn't be helped.

He Shen knew this would happen, so he came to Rongguo Province in person, instead of telling Jia Zheng about it in the Taoist temple.

Only when he was in Rongguo Province, could he nail down the matter of Baoyu's beating.

No one would be able to pull it out.

He Shen's eyes became colder, but when he opened his mouth, he said in a rather indifferent tone, "Bao Er Ye's appearance is really distressing.

But it's a pity … "

"What's a pity?" Jia Zheng instinctively asked.

"It's a pity that the Minister Counsellor won't be able to recover."

Jia Zheng's forgotten anger and fear were all aroused by He Shen's words.

"Brother Zhizhai …" Jia Zheng wanted to say that it wasn't the right time to discipline him.

But he kept these words in his heart and felt that they were heavy, swaying back and forth. It was very funny.

He wanted to say that this matter wasn't as serious as it seemed.

But when he recalled his anger just now, Jia Zheng also knew in his heart.

This matter wasn't a small matter.

"Brother Zhizhai …" Jia Zheng called out hesitantly.

He Shen nodded, stood up, and switched to his usual intimate tone, "Brother Cunzhou, if you really can't do it …"

Jia Zheng's heart was in his mouth. He was just waiting for He Shen to say that today's matter was over.

In the past, when Jia Zheng disciplined Baoyu, there were also times when he bumped into friends.

They all advised him in this way.

At this time, He Shen had already walked in front of Baoyu.

Baoyu was still leaning on the chair dizzily when he vaguely saw a figure approaching. He called out in a low voice, "Sister?"

He Shen cracked his knuckles and said with a smile, "Then I'll discipline you on behalf of Brother Cunzhou."

After saying that.

A crisp sound was heard.

"Slap!"

Baoyu's cheek immediately swelled up.

He cried out in pain and immediately opened his eyes, "Who are you?

I want to see my sister. "

Jia Zheng was shocked. His hands and feet were stiff, and he couldn't react quickly.

On the other hand, He Shen's lips were curled up slightly. For the first time in his life, his usually indifferent face revealed a trace of viciousness.

"Bao Er Ye is talking nonsense. How can you see my sister?

Bao Er Ye messed up the internal affairs and dragged down your father and the entire Rongguo Province! "

Baoyu widened his eyes and tears fell from the corners of his eyes, "Who are you …" Obviously, he was in great pain.

Come to think of it, Second Young Master Bao, who usually lived like a prince, had never suffered like this before.

If it was Jia Zheng who hit him, it would be fine.

But it was someone else.

Baoyu immediately shouted, "Guards, guards …"

After hearing He Shen's words, Jia Zheng felt ashamed. He originally wanted to reprimand He Shen for overstepping the rules and stop He Shen.

But now, he couldn't do anything.

He Shen's words were for his own good.

He Shen was on good terms with him, so naturally, he only wanted his own good. It was normal that he didn't care about Baoyu.

At this time, everyone in the hall was shocked. How could anyone respond to Baoyu's words?

Baoyu hurriedly struggled to sit up.

"Didn't you have a fever?

Why do you look so sober?

Did you deceive your father into being an upright and soft-hearted person? "He Shen's tone was gentle at first, but then it became harsh," What an unfilial son!

You don't even know how to be a decent person! "

After saying this, he slapped him again.

"Slap!"

The other side of Baoyu's face was also swollen.

It was symmetrical.

He Shen's father was a military officer. He was influenced by him and practiced martial arts on a daily basis. Naturally, his strength couldn't be underestimated.

Baoyu was so stunned that he couldn't even speak after receiving such a painful beating.

He Shen smiled slightly, "Bao Er Ye didn't say anything. I guess you know you're wrong."

After saying this, He Shen turned to look at Jia Zheng, "Brother Cunzhou, this is all I can do today.

When Baoyu recovers, Brother Cunzhou, don't be soft-hearted.

At the end of this year, Imperial Censor Lin will come to the capital to report on his work.

Brother Cunzhou, you have to act quickly and do a clean job. Otherwise, Imperial Censor Lin will be suspicious in the future. "

Jia Zheng opened his mouth. In the end, only one word came out, "Okay."
