Chapter 40 ‘Ventilation’
Ningguo Mansion, after lunch, Shen Ning walked around the garden and was about to take a rest when she unexpectedly welcomed Jia Zhu again.
"Auntie!"
Jia Zhu said hello with his usual signature smile, and said directly: "I forgot something yesterday."
"You Said. "
Shen Ning was a little sleepy and yawned slightly.
"Our treasury owes money."
Jia Zhu dare not not come.
Although Brother Zhen has many shortcomings, currently, he is far more reliable than his father and uncle.
Although the uncle is a relative, the cousin is a member of the family.
He really didn't know if his aunt would be able to bear it if he really wanted his eldest uncle to harm his cousin, but the Jia family would definitely be doomed.
My father and uncle cannot protect the Jia family. My uncle will use their hands to eat away everything the Jia family has in the army bit by bit.
From now on, the Jia family will depend on their uncle to live their lives.
But this is not the most dangerous thing. The most dangerous thing may be that the uncle will also be targeted by the emperor.
The relationship between the Wang and Jia families cannot be ignored. The Jia family withdraws from the army and the Wang family takes their place. Who do you think is a fool?
Jia Zhu thought about it, she couldn’t even eat well, and she didn’t even care that her mother-in-law might have to take a lunch break, so she came over in a hurry, "I listened to many classmates discussing in private in Guozi. Your Majesty, morning It's time to collect all the money owed."
"Oh..."
Emperor Xiaomu has not taken the initiative to ask the ministers who owe money to pay back the money, obviously he is still worried about the Supreme Emperor.
However, the Supreme Emperor can indeed live a long life.
The ancients valued filial piety, no wonder he later used a roundabout way to collect cash.
"The emperor confiscated it, what can you do?"
Shen Ning asked Jia Zhu casually.
"The emperor confiscated it, it should be out of consideration for the Supreme Emperor and the old ministers."
Jia Zhu sighed in her heart.
The most noble people in the world have many choices, let alone other people.
“But the emperor won’t accept it for the time being, but it doesn’t mean that our family doesn’t need to pay it back.”
Jia Zhu handed over her hand, “My nephew, thank you so much for forcing your father and uncle to return the money.”
"..."
Shen Ning looked at him and smiled slowly, "Are you afraid that you will have to pay back the money in the future?"
"Yes!" Jia Zhu nodded, "If we don't repay this money now, in the future... the Jia family will probably be bankrupted in paying it back."
He was always worried about the money.
Fortunately, my uncle was not too confused and kept it sealed.
But after learning that his mother had actually misappropriated the money there, he was really shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. "Auntie, you are forcing your family to pay back the money because you are aware of the risks here, right?"
< br>"...Auntie is not as powerful as you think."
Shen Ning smiled and touched her belly, "I really want to save some blessings for your sister by paying back the money."
< br>"My little sister must be a very good girl."
The smile in Jia Zhu's eyes was much warmer, "Auntie, have you hired more doctors to take care of your health?"
It is so important to have a wise and reliable elder in the family.
Jia Zhu really hopes that this aunt can live longer than his grandmother.
“Natural!”
The sincerity and hypocrisy can be seen at a glance. Shen Ning smiled and nodded, "I still want to watch your sister grow up and see her get married."
"..."
Jia Zhu felt sad. Sour.
Auntie’s wish is so small.
But my mother wanted to ruin it all for her own selfish reasons.
"Mother!" He hesitated, "Currently we and the Shi family are the only ones who have paid back the money. Have you ever thought about how much those who can't pay back the money hate us?" Huh?
Shen Ning looked at Jia Zhu, and for some reason, she always felt that there was deep pain and entanglement in his eyes.
She said: "So, my uncle invited two stable women long ago!"
Jia Zhu: "..."
"Are you still worried about other people in the family?" Shen Ning asked him tentatively.
"...The trees are as beautiful as the forest, but the wind will destroy them."
Jia Zhu thought for a moment and said: "After my family paid back the money, a classmate reminded me that everyone in our family has Be careful. After all...even if those who borrowed money were not really poor, over the years, weddings and funerals, even if they are not as good as the Shi family, must have been consumed. Our family may not be happy to pay back the money, let alone those who have borrowed money. He is really poor."
He has no choice but to confess his mother. "As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand in danger. When Brother Zhen and Brother Rong are around, my nephew feels that it is better to take care of him. A few people are better, after all, my nephew plans to bring two more boys."
"...You are right!"
Shen Ning looked at him and nodded slowly. "I'll tell you Brother Zhen later."
"Brother Zhen is the head of the Jia family, and his safety is related to our entire Jia family."
Jia Zhu finally said it, "Please tell him not to find it troublesome. Bringing a few more people won't hinder anything."
"...Okay!"
Shen Ning agreed, but sent Jia Zhu away. But she no longer felt sleepy.
Jia Zhu came here specifically for the safety of her family.
What makes him feel dangerous?
Or is it that someone is already making big plans?
Shen Ning turned the jade bracelet in her hand and finally said, "Qing Ping, find someone to ask what happened in Xifu today? Also, in the past few days, the second wife over there has met. Who? "
"...Yes!"
When Qingping heard what Jia Zhu said, she felt bad and hurried out after hearing the words.
"Qingzhu!"
"Madam!" Qingzhu hurriedly stepped out, "Do you want to call me uncle?"
"No!"
Shen Ning shook his head. My dear boy is at home today. He has to work with several accounting offices to analyze the family farm income over the years to see if there are any deficiencies.
Because of Lai Jia and Zhou Rui, he doesn't trust those people anymore.
At this moment, let him sort out the affairs over there first.
"Go ahead and help me shout Jiao."
"Yes!"
Qingzhu also hurried away.
Shen Ning leaned back on the chair and closed her eyes slightly, thinking about who could gain the most if something happened in Dongfu.
Jia She was the first person to be excluded.
His self-awareness has always been clear. As an heir to the Rongguo Mansion who is at ease with everyone, as long as he eats and drinks, and is accompanied by beauties and antiques, he can stay at home for the rest of his life.
Jia Zheng considers himself a gentleman and is old-fashioned and stubborn. Even if he wants to take shortcuts, he can only rely on the old lady's influence to squeeze his elder brother at home.
On the outside, he is a modest, gentle and good man, and he would never think of taking action against a good boy.
Jia Mu...
It is somewhat possible to take action against her, but for Jia Zhen... As long as Jia Jing is still there, he will not take action immediately.
The Xing family is even more impossible, there is only the Wang family.
Because of the Wang family and Wang Ziteng, she has the conditions and the ability to take action against the good boy.
Hiss~
A trace of cruelty flashed through Shen Ning's opened eyes.
The Wang family has not yet repaid the money they owe, and Wang Ziteng is probably in a hurry. After all, the Supreme Emperor is a thing of the past. Even if the power in the hands of the Emperor is limited, it will still be easy for his official career to be unsatisfactory.
If something happens to the big boy, she, an elderly mother, can't bear it. She might die on the spot.
At that time...
Will Brother Rong, who has not yet grown up, also grow up next to Wang like Jia Lian?
There's even a chance she won't let him grow up.
Thinking of this, Shen Ning could no longer sit still, "Get the pen and ink!"
