As Jia Zheng thought about it, he quickened his pace and reached He Shen's side in a few steps.

"Brother Zhizhai!" Jia Zheng called out in a low voice, polite and intimate.

He Shen turned his head and looked directly at Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng's heart skipped a beat.

He could no longer ignore the fact that there was something wrong with He Shen.

He Shen was not a person who was easy to get close to.

Everyone in the Imperial Court was well aware of this.

Even though Assistant Minister He usually smiled at everyone, it was just a facade of gentleness.

This Assistant Minister He,

Was recognized by the Emperor at such a young age.

It took others more than ten or twenty years to get to the position.

He got to the position in a year.

Who dared to make fun of him?

At first, Jia Zheng looked down on him, but later on, he admired him more and more.

Later on,

He couldn't help but feel a little awe.

Now that he saw He Shen's cold and sharp features,

He looked fierce and imposing.

Jia Zheng couldn't even smile.

"Why don't we talk first?" Jia Zheng thought about it in his heart.

He said with a smile.

"Okay." He Shen replied faintly.

His posture still didn't soften.

The more Jia Zheng saw him like this,

The more uncertain he became.

"Please." Jia Zheng forced himself to calm down.

He Shen entered through the gate.

He went straight into his courtyard.

Jia Zheng's expression did not look relaxed.

So the servants and maids all kept quiet out of fear.

For a moment,

The atmosphere in Jia Zheng's courtyard was a little scary.

The maids were already used to He Shen coming to their door.

And they had a deep impression of this Young Master.

There was no other reason.

He was young and handsome. He was also an official in the imperial court with Second Master.

Which girl wouldn't feel her heart move when she saw such a man?

But today, they didn't even dare to look at him. They all gave up the idea of getting close to him.

After serving tea and snacks, they all left.

The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat stagnant.

Jia Zheng had already guessed that someone in Rongguo Province had offended He Shen …

He was about to speak.

However, a manservant appeared outside the door.

Jia Zheng recognized her at a glance. She was Baoyu's servant.

"Why are you so flustered?" Jia Zheng always cared about his face and hated people who disrupted the rules outside.

Now, in front of He Shen, Jia Zheng felt even more embarrassed.

However, the servant was not afraid of Jia Zheng. Instead, he lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Bao Er Ye is sick again. Old Madam went to see him, and so did Madam.

He said that he would like to invite you over. "

As the servant spoke, he stole a glance at He Shen.

He Shen twitched the corner of his mouth, and his expression turned even colder.

She was indeed the same type of person as her master.

Jia Baoyu didn't know what the rules were, so his subordinates all followed suit.

"Didn't he get sick a few days ago?

The doctor just went to see him.

Didn't you see that I was entertaining a guest? "Jia Zheng said unhappily.

Jia Zheng naturally felt sorry for Baoyu. After all, Rongguo Province didn't have many children.

But more importantly, he didn't want He Shen to laugh at him.

The servant was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He stuttered and wanted to say something, but didn't dare to.

Obviously, he couldn't invite Jia Zheng to see him. He couldn't explain it to Madam Jia.

He Shen observed the manservant's expression and asked faintly, "Is Second Master's young master ill?"

"Yes …"

He Shen's finger circled around the teacup and said coldly, "Does your son often get sick?"

Jia Zheng didn't say anything.

The servant nodded embarrassedly, but then said, "Bao Er Ye has jade to protect him. That's, that's not bad."

He Shen shook his head, and his eyes were cold, "I'm afraid it's not good."

Jia Zheng's expression was a little ugly, "What's not good?"

"I've heard that Baoyu was born with jade in his mouth. He's very beautiful."

Jia Zheng's face was a little red.

After all, He Shen already knew that Baoyu wasn't ambitious …

"That jade isn't something that contains spiritual energy. It's more like a magic item."

Jia Zheng was shocked, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing. He didn't understand why He Shen suddenly said such things, and why he said such inauspicious things.

Who in Rongguo Province had offended him?

"Don't you think so, Minister Counsellor?"

He Shen turned to look at him, "Your son grew up in the inner court and spent all his time fooling around with women. When he didn't get what he wanted, he became bedridden and became crazy.

What did he rely on?

Was it only because of that piece of jade?

If it was a fairy weapon, how could he be so mischievous and shameless?

In my opinion, it's just a magic item! "

Jia Zheng's chest heaved up and down, and his face was livid. However, there was a lump in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.

When had anyone ever talked about Baoyu so mercilessly?

Although Jia Zheng didn't like Baoyu's mischievous behavior, he was still his child.

Moreover, he was born with a jade in his mouth. Like everyone in Rongguo Province, Jia Zheng also hoped that Baoyu could achieve great things in the future.

How could … how could he tolerate being criticized like this?

Jia Zheng wanted to scold him angrily and turn hostile.

However, because He Shen's words were so hurtful, Jia Zheng didn't know where to start to refute.

At this moment, He Shen stood up.

With a "bang", the small teacup in his palm was crushed by him.

Not only Jia Zheng, but all the servants in the room were frightened. The manservant's knees went soft and he knelt down.

"Minister He, Minister He, what is the meaning of this?" Jia Zheng struggled to speak.

Since He Shen had already called him "Minister Counsellor" in a distant manner, Jia Zheng naturally wouldn't be so thick-skinned as to call him "Brother Zhizhai."

However, he still couldn't understand how he had offended He Shen.

"Minister Counsellor, why did your son fall ill this time?"

"I …" Jia Zheng couldn't answer.

After all, he didn't care about such a trivial matter.

However, after seeing that Baoyu was fine, he didn't worry about it.

Jia Zheng couldn't help but look at the manservant beside him.

The manservant had never seen such a scene before.

Trembling, he said, "That day, when Young Master came back from visiting Miss Lin, he was beaten by Second Old Master and fell ill …"

Jia Zheng was a little embarrassed.

His son was beaten and fell ill. It was his fault as the father.

If it were anyone else, they would also lose face.

However, when Jia Zheng turned his head, he saw that He Shen was even angrier than him. His facial features were still fierce, which made people instinctively feel afraid.

"Minister Counsellor, did you hear me carefully?" He Shen said coldly.

"… What?" Jia Zheng was stunned.

"Say it again for your Second Old Master." He Shen pointed at the manservant.

The manservant often followed Baoyu around. Logically speaking, he should be a well-respected person.

However, the manservant didn't even dare to fart in front of He Shen.

He could only obediently open his mouth in inexplicable fear, "That day, when Young Master came back from visiting Miss Lin, he was beaten by Second Old Master and fell ill …"

Jia Zheng was still confused.

What did he ask him to hear?

Every time he heard this, he felt angry.

After the manservant finished speaking, he panted carefully.

"Say it again." He Shen said.

The manservant looked at He Shen blankly, then looked at Jia Zheng. Finally, he repeated it again in a low voice.

However, this time, the manservant was sweating profusely.

After repeating it so many times, even he could tell that there was something wrong with it.

Jia Zheng's expression suddenly changed. He said sternly, "Do you say this to everyone?"

The manservant nodded. Half of his body went limp.

It was because he was scared.

"Bastard!

Bastard! "Jia Zheng stood up." What did Baoyu say? "

"Bao Er Ye, he didn't say anything …" the manservant said, trembling.

"Is that so?"

He Shen's voice cut in. His tone was neither salty nor light, but it made the servant feel as if his entire body had lost its strength.

The manservant burst into tears. "He didn't say anything else. It's just that Bao Er Ye seems to be having a nightmare.

He keeps making a fuss about seeing Miss Lin.

Old Madam and Madam both know about this … "

No matter how stupid Jia Zheng was, he could tell that something was wrong.

However, he didn't care about these trivial matters in the past. Now that it was exposed in front of He Shen, Jia Zheng suddenly felt his face burning.

Jia Zheng was deeply influenced by Confucianism. He had always valued family tradition and children's education.

If he didn't listen to it, it would be fine. Now that he heard it, he didn't want to ask the doctor to treat Baoyu. At this moment, he just wanted to grab a rattan, drag Baoyu out, and interrogate him on his knees.

"Go and bring Baoyu here." The more Jia Zheng thought about it, the more he couldn't hold back his anger.

"Bao Er Ye is still sick …"

Jia Zheng calmed down a little. Then he remembered … How did He Shen know about it?

Since he knew about it, could it be that this rotten matter in the inner courtyard had already been spread out?

Jia Zheng was shocked. He only felt that his back was cold. He didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Only then did He Shen slowly take a seat. His anger from before was nowhere to be seen. "I shouldn't be the one to say this, but since Imperial Censor Lin told me to keep an eye on Dai Yu, I'm not going to say anything.

I can't allow Rongguo Province to bully Daiyu like this. "

He Shen looked up at Jia Zheng again. "Speaking of which, the Minister Counsellor is also Daiyu's uncle.

Rongguo Province is Daiyu's maternal family.

If this insult is spread out, the Imperial Censor will report it … How will the Minister Counsellor face Imperial Censor Lin? "

He gave a slap and a sweet date.

This was what He Shen had planned for a long time.

He really wanted to tear apart Rongguo Province with his own hands.

However, Daiyu was still being educated in Rongguo Province. If something really happened in Rongguo Province, it would affect Daiyu's reputation.

Jia Zheng took a small breath and calmed down. "You're right. Brother Zhizhai is right." Jia Zheng changed back to his usual tone.

At this moment, he didn't feel that He Shen didn't give him any face at all. His attitude was too harsh.

He only thought, "Who would dare to say such things to me?

Only He Shen would say it. "

He was afraid that it was for the good of Rongguo Province! "

Jia Zheng thought for a while and gritted his teeth. He felt that he should do something more courageous.

First, he couldn't leave a topic for others to gossip about. Second, he couldn't offend his brother-in-law. Third, he couldn't waste He Shen's good intentions …
