JIahu, the Koi Fish
Chapter 6
Jia Zheng hurried out of the Shi Clan's residence and returned to Glory Hall with a sour face.
"Master is back!"
Lady Wang stared at the door and immediately went to greet him. She untied his cloak and ordered the servants, "Set the table."
The maids standing still in the room immediately busied themselves. Some of them were in charge of setting the table, while others were in charge of serving hot water and helping Jia Zheng wipe his face and hands.
After tidying himself up slightly, Jia Zheng sat in front of the dining table. Only then did Madam Wang sit beside him.
There were more than a dozen dishes on the table, as well as two soups. Each of them was incomparably exquisite and could be said to be very rich.
Because it had been heated with charcoal after it was done, it was still steaming hot at this time, looking very tempting.
However, the two masters of the house, regardless of whether it was Jia Zheng or Lady Wang, were just sitting there. Neither of them had any intention of picking up their chopsticks to eat.
Of course, there was a reason for this.
It was actually quite simple.
Jia Zheng had just returned from the Shi Clan's residence. After smelling the special smell in her room for so long and then witnessing her disgusting sniffing, he had lost his appetite.
His stomach was still churning, and he didn't want to eat anything at all.
It was even easier to guess why Lady Wang didn't eat. After all, she had been drenched in a special rain and eaten something special this afternoon.
Until now, her mouth, throat, stomach, and chest still felt uncomfortable everywhere.
Not to mention eating, she didn't even want to open her mouth. If she could, she didn't want to say a single word.
After a while, Jia Zheng sighed. With a filial expression, he said to Lady Wang, "Mother was frightened and fell ill. I don't have an appetite tonight. You can eat by yourself."
Lady Wang's gaze swept across the dining table. When she saw the chicken and duck meat on the plate, she immediately stopped breathing.
Then, she saw the whole black chicken in the soup bowl. Her scalp went numb and she had goosebumps all over her body.
Because of this, she couldn't help but recall the wicked wild geese from the afternoon. For a moment, she felt disgusted and resentful. Her stomach churned and she almost vomited.
Lady Wang hurriedly suppressed the sour feeling in her throat and looked away stiffly. She slowly said, "I don't have much of an appetite either."
Jia Zheng didn't know the inside story, nor was he in the mood to know. He immediately looked at the servant.
"Then you can all withdraw."
This was exactly what Lady Wang wanted. When she saw the maidservant clean up the table and take away the soup and dishes, she didn't object.
After that, the husband and wife chatted about their daily lives.
Lady Wang was talking about the trivial matters of women. Jia Zheng was not interested and soon lost his patience.
"Go and rest. I still have some work to do in the study."
Madam Wang tore off the handkerchief in her sleeve. She knew in her heart that Jia Zheng would not return to her room to sleep after going to the study this time. If he was not going to this concubine's place, then he would go to another concubine's room.
Madam Wang cursed in her heart as she forced a smile on her face.
"Today, Hu Ge 'er accidentally fell into the water and fell ill.
Since it's still early, would Master like to take a look at him with me? "
Jia Zheng asked casually, "How's his condition?"
"Although he's a little feverish, he woke up at noon. He looked quite energetic at the time," Lady Wang replied.
Jia Zheng said indifferently, "Business is more important. Since he's fine, I won't waste the effort to go over."
Then, he got up, grabbed his cloak, and strode out the door.
Lady Wang estimated the time and waited until he was far away. Then, her eyes immediately shot out flames of jealousy and she smashed several cups in a row.
A few days later, Jia Hu recovered from his illness. Other than being more afraid of the cold, he didn't show any signs of weakness like the doctor had mentioned. He still liked to jump around like a lively fish.
After observing for a while and confirming that Jia Hu's recovery was better than expected, the Chang Clan felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders.
Later, they discovered that Jia Hu was even more curious than before after the disaster. When he saw something new, he wanted to touch it and take a look. Not only did she not stop him, she even patiently explained the origin of the things to him.
Two days passed like this. On this day, Jia Hu was facing the Chang Clan's stomach and communicating with the unborn Jia Lian when Fei Xin suddenly rushed in.
The Chang Clan said helplessly, "Walk slowly. Be careful not to fall and disfigure yourself. You'll cry later."
Jia Hu said crisply, "Sister Fei Xin is a good person. She's very lucky. She won't fall."
Fei Xin smiled embarrassedly and then said excitedly, "Madam, I have great news!
This morning, the Emperor issued an edict to release all the officials who were imprisoned for dethroning the Crown Prince from prison! "
Ecstasy rushed straight to the brain. Under extreme joy, the Chang Clan's mind went blank for a moment.
The next moment, she suddenly stood up and excitedly held Fei Xin's hand, saying, "It's true!
What about Father? Has he also been released from prison and returned home? "
Fei Xin nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Someone must have good news soon."
Whatever she said, it would arrive.
As soon as Fei Xin finished speaking, a maidservant entered the room to deliver a message, "Madam, someone from the Zhang family is outside asking to see you."
The Chang Clan was overjoyed and impatiently said, "Quickly, let them in!"
Soon, the young maidservant led the Zhang family to Jia Hu and the Chang Clan.
The person who came was Zhang Mu's mama. She had watched the Chang Clan grow up and get married since she was young.
Seeing her, the Chang Clan immediately held Jia Hu's hand and walked over happily.
However, when she met the mama's eyes, she clearly saw that there was no joy on her face. Instead, her face was full of sadness.
The Chang Clan's heart thumped, and she suddenly had a bad premonition.
She couldn't help but stop walking, and her expression also became nervous.
As soon as she saw the Chang Clan's face, the mama, who had been holding back her tears all the way, couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Sir is seriously ill and will die soon. Madam asks you to go back and see him for the last time …"
"What?!" Hearing this bad news, the Chang Clan's vision went dark and she almost fainted.
She was at a loss and her words were jumbled.
"Father … Father … Didn't he get out of prison safely?
Why, why did he suddenly die? "
Jia Hu shook the Chang Clan's arm and softly comforted, "The bad guys are not dead. Grandfather is such a good person. He will be fine."
"Mother, don't cry. Let's go see grandfather now.
Maybe when we see Hu'er, he will immediately recover. "Jia Hu patted his chest and said confidently.
"Yes, our Hu'er is so cute. Father will definitely recover when he sees him." How could there be such a good thing in the world? She was just saying these words to comfort herself.
Bringing along Jia Hu, the Chang Clan's group strode out of the courtyard.
On the way, Lady Wang saw that they were in a hurry, so she curiously blocked the path in the middle of the road and stopped them.
"Sister-in-law, you are in such a hurry. Where are you going?" Lady Wang's face was filled with pure curiosity.
Father Zhang's condition was critical. If they were a moment late, they might not be able to see his heartbeat. However, at this moment, Lady Wang blocked the way with a fake smile. The Chang Clan immediately tore apart their fake sister-in-law relationship and shouted, "Get out of the way!"
A trace of gloominess flashed across Lady Wang's eyes. She stared at the Chang Clan's tear-stained face and asked worriedly, "Sister-in-law, why are you crying? Did Big Brother bully you?
Let's go and find Old Madam to help you. "
As she spoke, she grabbed the Chang Clan's hand and tried to pull her to the Shi Clan's residence.
The Shi Clan had vomited all day and was completely exhausted. She still hadn't recovered.
In addition, the trauma from that day was really serious. The Shi Clan was in a particularly bad mood.
She already hated the Chang Clan. If the Chang Clan asked her to help them because of a conflict between husband and wife, the Shi Clan would probably scold the Chang Clan.
The Chang Clan saw through Lady Wang's thoughts and angrily shook off her hand.
"I don't have time to waste with you today!"
As if she didn't hear anything, Lady Wang didn't move. She was determined to be a roadblock.
Jia Hu took advantage of the opportunity and pointed at Lady Wang, who was in the way, and said, "Nanny, knock her aside!"
As a koi fish in his previous life, Jia Hu loved to imitate people. He imitated the tone that the Chang Clan usually used to order people.
However, Jia Hu was still a child who was still wet behind the ears. His voice was naturally soft and didn't have the slightest bit of deterrence. Instead, it made him look cute.
Hearing her young master's order, the Zhang family's nanny didn't have time to react before Nanny Liu bravely rushed forward and knocked Lady Wang, who was blocking the way.
Seeing this, the other servants around the Chang Clan followed suit. They all used their bodies as weapons to protect Jia Hu and the Chang Clan. They broke through the blockade.
After this, Lady Wang's clothes and hair were all messed up, as if she had just fought with a shrew.
At this time, Jia Hu, who had walked far away, suddenly turned around and made a face at her fiercely. Lady Wang was instantly furious.
This was a new skill that Jia Hu had just learned from a little girl yesterday. It was his first time practicing it today. From the results, it was quite good.
Lady Wang's scheme against the Chang Clan failed. Instead, she was in a sorry state. She was full of anger and could only angrily return to Glory Hall to tidy up her appearance.
She was full of anger and didn't look where she was going.
When he arrived at a cobblestone path, he accidentally stepped on something slippery and fell flat on his face.
The maids were shocked and hurriedly bent down to help her up.
Covering her swollen face, Lady Wang was helped up with red eyes. She fiercely dug at the fat on the ground.
"Which bastard lost a piece of fat in the middle of the road!"
Worried that they would be angry, the maids all lowered their heads and didn't dare to make a sound.
After angrily crushing the fat on the ground with her foot, Lady Wang felt a little better. Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and said, "I'm not going back to Glory Hall. I'm going to Old Madam's courtyard.
The Chang Clan allowed Jia Hu to hit me. I'm going to complain to Old Madam about them! "
Hmph!
Bitch!
Even if I don't die, I'll make you pay!
