Chapter 898: Jia Mansion Eating Watermelon
The funeral of Jia Zhen in Ningguo Mansion lasted for more than two months, from midsummer to early autumn, before it was finally completed.
When Lu Cheng had some free time, he took the gifts he had prepared and went to the Rongguo Mansion to see Lin Daiyu.
When he arrived at the Duke Rong's Mansion, Lu Cheng went to see Jia Zheng first as usual, then gave some pointers to Jia Lan, and went to see the old lady in the backyard.
Lu Cheng had just come out of Rongqing Hall and hadn't walked far when he heard a cry not far away: "This is terrible, ancestor, he is going to kill someone!"
Immediately afterwards, Wang Xifeng, with disheveled hair and crying, ran out from a corridor and hurried towards Rongqing Hall.
Right behind Wang Xifeng, Jia Lian, who was simply wearing a green robe, was chasing after her angrily with a sword in hand. Behind him, there were two flustered maids and servants, who were chasing after her and trying to dissuade her, "Second Master Lian, you can't do this."
Jia Lian didn't care and chased forward angrily: "No one can stop me today, come back here, I will kill you today, Yasha Star!"
Seeing Jia Lian holding a sword and about to catch up with Wang Xifeng, Lu Cheng could not sit idly by. He walked up to them in three or two steps and put his arm between them: "Second Brother Lian, what happened? Why are you shouting and killing? What's the matter between the two of you? Can't you sit down and discuss it?"
"Brother Cheng, don't worry about this, just get out of the way."
Seeing that Jia Lian was about to rush forward with the sword raised, Lu Cheng quickly stretched out his right hand and clamped the sword blade with his index and middle fingers.
"Brother Cheng, let go." Jia Lian wanted to pull the sword back, but was afraid of hurting Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng just shook his wrist and exerted his hidden strength, and the blade of the three-foot sword broke into pieces, leaving only the hilt in Jia Lian's hand.
Wang Xifeng, who was running in front, happened to look back and saw this scene. Although she was shocked, she still ran into Rongqing Hall crying in panic.
Jia Lian was also frightened when Lu Cheng broke his sword directly, but he looked at Wang Xifeng who had already escaped into Rongqing Hall, and his anger was still in his heart. He dropped the hilt of the sword in his hand and continued to chase forward.
This time, Lu Cheng did not stop him. He let Jia Lian chase after him and followed behind, ready to watch the fun.
Wang Xifeng's crying and shouting made quite a noise, and almost all the young ladies and maids in the backyard heard it.
Daiyu, who was reading in the room, quickly asked her maid Zijuan to come out and find out what had happened.
At the same time, Wang Xifeng, who had already run into Rongqing Hall, also hurried to Jia's mother's side, knelt down on the ground, and cried out: "Grandfather, please save me, Master Lian wants to kill me."
Seeing Wang Xifeng so flustered, Old Lady Shi quickly asked, "What happened? Tell me quickly."
Although Wang Xifeng was flustered, she did not lose her mind. She quickly said, "I just came back from the East Mansion and was about to go back to change my clothes. It happened that Master Lian was talking to someone. I thought it was a guest and was so scared that I didn't dare to go in. It turned out that Master Lian and Mrs. Bao were planning to poison me to death."
Old Lady Shi was also shocked when she heard this: "Is there such a thing?"
The other people in the hall were also shocked. They stood up and looked at Wang Xifeng, who looked panicked.
Wang Xifeng continued, "They also said they wanted to poison me and make Ping'er their legal wife. I didn't dare get angry after hearing that, so I hit Ping'er twice. Master Lian got mad and wanted to kill me with a sword."
In fact, things are not as simple as Wang Xifeng said.
Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing have been busy dealing with the funeral in the East Palace recently. After finally finishing everything, both of them are a little tired, so they often get together to talk.
Wang Xifeng went to chat with Qin Keqing again this afternoon, and seeing that Qin Keqing was a little tired, she left early. As soon as she returned to her own yard, she ran into Jia Lian and Bao Er's wife making love on her bed.
Bao Er's wife was originally the wife of a servant in the mansion. She was also a very outspoken person. After having sex with Jia Lian, she actually said that if Wang Xifeng, that she-devil, died and Ping'er was made the legitimate wife, the two of them could still have frequent contact.
Wang Xifeng heard this outside the window, how could she bear it? She first slapped Ping'er, who was innocently caught in the crossfire, and then rushed into the house angrily, just in time to see Jia Lian and Bao Er's wife hugging each other naked.
Wang Xifeng immediately picked up the clothes of both of them and was about to run out. Mr. Lian also hurriedly stood up to grab them.
The couple argued, and Wang Xifeng knocked Mr. Lian off the chair. Wang Xifeng also fell to her knees, crying and shouting, "I will not live any longer!"
Mr. Lian was caught in an ugly act by his wife, and after all the commotion, he was furious. He immediately pulled out the sword hanging on the wall and was about to kill Wang Xifeng.
The two of them chased and fought, but luckily Master Lian had just finished his work and his legs were a little weak, and with the help of the maids and old women, Master Lian was unable to catch up with Wang Xifeng for a while and made a scene all the way to Rongqing Hall.
It is shameful for a man to cheat on his wife, and the woman he cheated on is the wife of a servant in the mansion. Wang Xifeng couldn't say it out loud, let alone show jealousy. She could only say that she heard that Mr. Lian and Mrs. Bao were planning to poison her.
Grandmother Jia was also furious, and immediately pointed at the maids and ordered: "How could such a thing happen? Go and bring that filthy fellow to me!"
At this time, Mr. Lian came to Rongqing Hall angrily, rolled up his sleeves and was about to beat Wang Xifeng.
Mrs. Xing saw this and quickly stood up to stop him: "You evil creature, the old lady is still here, you are becoming even more rebellious. What do you want to do?"
Jia Lian was still angry and kept cursing: "It's all because of the old lady that she spoiled her. Today I must kill this Yaksha and pay her with my own life!"
Grandmother Jia was so angry that she stood up and said, "You evil creature, you are so rebellious. I can see that you don't even have me in your eyes. Go and call your father over! It's a misfortune for our family, a misfortune for our family!"
Master Lian was pushed out by Madam Xing, still cursing, "Yaksha Star, Yaksha Star!"
After Jia Lian left Rongqing Hall, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing hurried over to help Wang Xifeng up. At this time, Grandmother Jia had already guessed what had happened, and began to smooth things over: "This is not a big deal. It's just that children are young and greedy like cats. There's no way to save them. People have been like this since they were young. Okay, okay, stop crying.
This is all my fault. I didn't teach him well. I'll make him apologize to you tomorrow. Okay, stop crying. Don't let the maid make fun of you like this."
Since the old lady had spoken, even if Wang Xifeng felt greatly wronged, she could not continue crying.
Seeing that Wang Xifeng had stopped crying, the old lady asked again: "Ping'er, that girl, usually seems quite sensible, how come she is so mean?"
Li Wan, who was standing by, quickly tried to persuade him, "Grandfather, this is not Ping'er's fault. The couple had a dispute, and it's not right for them to fight each other, so they took it out on Ping'er. Ping'er was wronged, so how can you blame her?"
The old lady suddenly understood after hearing this: "Oh, I thought so. So that's how it is. Go tell Ping'er that it was me who said it. She was wronged today. Tomorrow I will have Feng girl personally make amends to her."
Ping'er is a maid in Jia Lian's room. She usually assists Wang Xifeng in managing the entire Rongguo Mansion. Naturally, her ability and status are not comparable to those of ordinary maids.
The old lady was obviously afraid that Ping'er would get upset, so she immediately sent someone to comfort her.
After comforting everyone, the old lady saw Lu Cheng standing at the door and said, "Brother Cheng, our family is in misfortune. I have made a fool of myself by letting you see me."
Lu Cheng waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. As long as no one is injured, it's fine. I'll leave first."
After watching the fun, eating the melon, and witnessing the old lady's methods, Lu Cheng naturally had no need to stay any longer, so he turned around and went to find his own sister Lin.
Seeing Lu Cheng turning around and leaving, Wang Xifeng looked up and couldn't help but think of the scene where Lu Cheng stopped Jia Lian and broke the sword with two fingers. She felt grateful in her heart, but she couldn't express it...
