"Brother Zhizhai," Jia Zheng called out in a low voice, polite but not lacking intimacy.
He Shen turned his head,
And looked straight at Jia Zheng.
Jia Zheng's heart skipped a beat. He could no longer ignore the strangeness of 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 so young,
He could be appreciated by the Emperor.
He sat in a position that took others more than ten or twenty years to reach in one year.
Who dared to joke with him?
Jia Zheng looked down on him at first,
But later, he admired him more and more,
And later,
He couldn't help but be a little bit in awe.
Now that he saw He Shen's cold and sharp features and fierce aura,
Jia Zheng couldn't even smile.
"Why don't we talk inside?" Jia Zheng thought for a while and said with a smile.
"Okay," He Shen replied faintly, but his posture still didn't soften.
The more Jia Zheng saw him like this, the more unsure he was.
"Please." Jia Zheng forced himself to calm down.
He Shen entered through the gate and 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 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,
He was also born with a handsome face.
And was an official in the same imperial court as the Second Master.
Any girl who saw him would be moved by love,
But today, they didn't even dare to look at him. All of them gave up the idea of getting close to him.
After serving tea and snacks, they left one after another.
The atmosphere in the hall was a little stagnant.
Jia Zheng had already guessed that there must be some blind person in Rongguo's residence who 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 had always been prideful 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 fall ill a few days ago? The doctor just went to see him.
Didn't he 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.
However, the most important thing now was to not let He Shen see them as a joke.
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 Mother Jia.
He Shen took in the servant's expression and said lightly, "But Second Master's son is sick."
"Yes."
He Shen's finger circled the outside of the teacup, and he said coldly, "Is your son often sick?"
Jia Zheng didn't speak.
The servant nodded embarrassedly, but then he said, "Bao Er Ye has jade to protect him. That's fine."
He Shen shook his head, and a cold light appeared in his eyes, "I'm afraid it's not very good."
Jia Zheng's face 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 knew that Baoyu wasn't a motivated person.
"That jade doesn't contain any spiritual aura. It's more like a demon."
Jia Zheng was shocked, and a vein on his forehead suddenly jumped. He didn't understand why He Shen suddenly said something like that, 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 fooled around with women all day long. When he didn't get what he wanted, he became bedridden and became crazy.
What did he rely on? It's just that piece of jade. If it was a fairy weapon, how could he be so stubborn and shameless? In my opinion, it's just a demon. "
Jia Zheng's chest heaved up and down, and his face was ashen. However, there was a lump in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.
No one had ever talked about Baoyu so harshly.
Although Jia Zheng didn't like Baoyu's stubbornness, he was still his child.
Moreover, he was born with jade in his mouth. Like everyone in Rongguo Province, Jia Zheng also hoped that Baoyu could achieve great things in the future.
How could he tolerate other people's criticism like that?
Jia Zheng wanted to rebuke him angrily and turn hostile.
However, because He Shen's words were so hurtful, Jia Zheng didn't know where to start retorting.
At this moment, He Shen stood up.
With a "bang", the small teacup in his hand 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.
"Assistant Minister He, what do you mean?" 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 anymore.
Jia Zheng couldn't help but look at the manservant beside him.
The manservant had never seen such a scene before.
He trembled and said, "That day, Young Master came back from visiting Miss Lin and was beaten by Second Master. Then he 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, listen carefully," He Shen said coldly.
"What?" Jia Zheng was stunned.
"Say it again for Second 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, Young Master came back from visiting Miss Lin and was beaten by Second Master. Then he fell ill."
Jia Zheng was still confused.
What did he ask him to listen to?
Every time he heard this, he felt angry.
After the manservant finished speaking, he carefully panted.
"Say it again," He Shen said.
The manservant looked at He Shen blankly, then looked at Jia Zheng. In the end, 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 something was wrong.
Jia Zheng's expression suddenly changed. He said sternly, "You say this to everyone."
The manservant nodded. Half of his body went limp.
He was frightened.
"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 interrupted. His indifferent tone made the manservant feel so scared that he lost all his 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 wanting to see Miss Lin.
Old Madam and Madam both know about this. "
No matter how stupid Jia Zheng was, he could tell that something was wrong.
It was just that 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.
"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 He Shen knew about it. Since he knew, could it be that the dirty things in the backyard had already been spread out?
Jia Zheng was shocked. He only felt that his back was icy 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 out for Dai Yu, I'm not going to say anything.
I can't tolerate Rongguo Province bullying 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 word of this insult gets out, the Imperial Censor will report it. How will the minister counsellor face Imperial Censor Lin? "
Give a slap and give 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.
But now Daiyu was still being educated in Rongguo Province. If something really happened in Rongguo Province, it would affect Daiyu's reputation.
Jia Zheng panted slightly 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 that no one dared to say such things to him.
Only He Shen would say such things.
He was afraid that it was for the good of Rongguo Province.
Jia Zheng thought about it and gritted his teeth. He felt that he should do something more courageous.
First, he couldn't let others talk about it. Second, he couldn't offend his brother-in-law. Third, he couldn't let He Shen's good intentions go to waste.
Jia Zheng turned back to look at the manservant and felt his anger rising. He immediately kicked him, "What are you waiting for?"
How did Baoyu end up like this?
Wasn't it because he didn't have a good person by his side?
Yet Lady Wang loved him so much that he couldn't be hurt or beaten.
The servant rolled out of the room with his cards.
When he entered the courtyard, Lady Jia asked, "Where's Second Old Master?"
The servant shook his head. Fear still lingered in his mind, so he was tongue-tied and couldn't speak clearly.
Lady Wang looked behind her.
Jia Zheng was nowhere to be seen.
Lady Wang was a little unhappy, but she still said calmly, "I'm afraid that Old Master is still angry at Baoyu."
Lady Jia was angry. "Father and son don't have overnight enmity. You didn't explain clearly.
Baoyu was muddle-headed from his illness and had a high fever.
No matter what, Second Old Master should come and take a look. "
