Chapter 1146: The Evil is Exterminated, and the Love Ties Are Broken

The matter between Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng was temporarily suppressed under the mediation of the elders.

However, the relationship between the two, which had lasted for several years, has broken down.

Just wait until after this Spring Festival, when everything is settled, and then the two will get divorced.

In order to get things settled as soon as possible.

It was not only the elders of the Jia family who took action. Even the governor of the Beijing camp, Wang Ziteng, ran to the gate of the palace at night to kowtow and apologize after hearing about what his niece Wang Xifeng had done.

On the other hand, Jia Zheng and Jia She both realized it late.

By the time the two learned the news and rushed over, Wang Ziteng had already received an imperial decree from the palace.

"Brother-in-law, Brother Enhou!"

When Wang Ziteng saw Jia Zheng and Jia She, he immediately bowed and said with an apologetic look on his face:
"I'm sorry you were frightened by Brother Feng's matter!"

Jia Zheng quickly returned the greeting and said:
"Brother, you are wrong. We are a family and we don't talk behind each other's backs. Feng grew up in the Rong and Ning mansions. Our Jia family also bears an unshirkable responsibility for her current situation!"

The female masters who managed the Jia family for two generations were both from the Wang family.

Moreover, among the more than 30 slaves, stewards and managers who committed crimes this time, half of them were slaves who came with the Wang family as dowry.

This apology from Wang Ziteng is really necessary.

However, the three of them are all adults. Even if Jia Zheng is a nerd, he knows the current situation of the four families of Jia, Shi, Wang and Xue. It is impossible for them to break up the alliance of the four major families because of this incident, and it is even more impossible for them to blame the Wang family for it.

Jia She was too lazy to exchange pleasantries with Wang Ziteng, and he was also very impatient with empty talk, so he asked directly:

"Brother Zi Teng, what did the Emperor say when you entered the palace this time?"

Jia Lian and his wife are Jia She's son and daughter-in-law.

If the government really wants to hold Jia Lian and his wife accountable, then Jia She, who only has one son, will be finished.

Fortunately, Wang Ziteng spoke to comfort her:

"When the emperor heard about the incident between the two governments, he was furious and wanted to investigate further, but was suppressed by the emperor. The emperor also said that this was the only time, and if it happened again, he would not be able to protect it again!"

Brothers Jia She and Jia Zheng looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as I can get away with it this time, it will be fine.

As for next time?

Who the hell dares to do it again next time?
At that moment, the two brothers were about to go to the palace to express their gratitude, but were stopped by Wang Ziteng, who said that neither the retired emperor nor the emperor wanted to see them.

The two men blushed and could only kowtow several times in front of the gate of the imperial palace, towards the East Palace and the Daming Palace, to show their respect.

Not even two days passed.

Chang'an Prefecture Governor Jiang Li personally delivered the verdict to the Rong and Ning prefectures.

More than thirty housekeepers and managers were sentenced to immediate execution.

Among them, Lai Da, Lai Er, Zhou Rui, Lin Zhixiao, Lai Wang, Master Jingxu of Shuiyue Temple and others committed many evil deeds and were sentenced to be beheaded and thrown into the public.

More than 30 families with more than 200 people were sentenced to be sent to the border as slaves.

After hearing this, all the masters in the Jia family were speechless.

In addition, the government office confiscated more than 4 million strings of cash from the homes of more than 30 slaves, including gold and silver worth more than 3 million strings, which were basically all confiscated.

There were also more than 30 mansions, thousands of acres of land and estates outside the city, and some stolen imperial items, worth about 1.5 million strings of cash, which were returned to the Rong and Ning mansions by the government.

This move was considered to comfort the masters of the Rongning and Ning mansions a little. After handing over the land deeds and land deeds, Chang'an prefect Jiang Lixian slowly drank a sip of hot tea, then smiled and said:

"Brother Enhou, Brother Cunzhou, General Weilie, the Rongning and Ningfu have a mellow family tradition and treat their servants very considerately. This is a kind act. However, the saints said that only women and villains are difficult to raise. If you get close to them, they will be disrespectful. If you stay away from them, they will complain."

"Your family has been so considerate of their servants that they have lost their dignity, which has led to women and villains gaining power and causing great disasters. When the emperor and the emperor emeritus heard about this case, they were also furious and felt that your family had a very bad influence on the world."

"The Emperor ordered me to pass on a message to you two gentlemen. Daqing was founded on loyalty and filial piety. What happened to your family must not happen again. If it happens again, I will not let you off easily!"

After hearing this, the three male heads of the Jia family immediately bowed and agreed.

At this point, Su Mingzhe's "anti-traitor" campaign came to an end.

In the evening.

The masters of the Rong and Ning mansions gathered in Lady Jia's backyard to discuss the future housekeeping plan.

Because the former housekeepers, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. You, had to take the blame and step down.

The Rongguo Mansion was initially managed by three female managers: Li Wan, Tanchun and Daiyu.

Ningguo Mansion is managed by Qin Keqing.

This also means that everyone in the Jia family began to regard Daiyu as the future daughter-in-law of the Jia family.

But Lin Daiyu didn't want to accept this task.

But when she glanced around and saw Su Mingzhe giving her an encouraging look, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree to the task.

After everyone had discussed it, the two of them came to the green gauze cabinet, Lin Daiyu's boudoir, and sat down.

As soon as Sister Lin sat down, she said coquettishly:
"Second brother, the Jia family still has Sister Yingchun, why do you have to drag me into managing the internal affairs?"

"Yu'er also recognizes Second Sister? That's great!"

Su Mingzhe seemed not to understand what Lin Daiyu said, and said with a smile:
"Everyone else thinks that my second sister is mediocre, dull and cowardly, and they all laugh at her for being a blockhead!"

"I didn't dare to recommend her to manage the household affairs at first. It turns out that you, Yu'er, are so optimistic about the second sister. Why don't you take the second sister with you when you manage the household affairs, and give her a chance to show her abilities. In the future, when Yu'er doesn't want to manage the affairs anymore, you can recommend the second sister. This way, you will have a reason to convince others. How do you think?"

"You are such a smooth talker, just go and make me angry!"

Lin Daiyu thought of Yingchun's dullness and clumsiness, and then looked at the man's eyes which clearly had a hint of mischief. She immediately understood that the man in front of her clearly wanted her to guide and teach the dull second sister Yingchun.

Su Mingzhe saw Sister Lin turned her head and frowned, fearing that she was really angry. He looked around to see that there were no maids to disturb her, and then he came to Sister Lin, put his arms around her slender waist, leaned over her pink earlobe, and laughed softly:

"My dear sister, it's just a joke, don't be angry. Even if you don't consider her as your cousin, at least help her because she will be your aunt in the future..."

"You still said that!"

Lin Daiyu was already very shy when being hugged by a man. When she heard him talking about "sister", she suddenly felt embarrassed and anxious. She turned her head and her thin and moist red lips seemed to touch something.

Just as Lin Daiyu was surprised at the man's boldness, Su Mingzhe became even bolder.

It’s no wonder that Su Mingzhe is so bold and presumptuous. It’s really Lin Daiyu’s performance these days that is constantly giving the man courage.

I don’t know how long it took.

Four-petal lip.

Sister Lin lay in the man's arms shyly and whispered intimidatingly:
"You pervert, get out of here now! If you don't leave, I'll call for help!"

"Good sister, I'm leaving now, but I'll come to see you tomorrow!"

Su Mingzhe got the upper hand, but did not dare to go too far. He immediately helped the hot and limp Lin Daiyu to the bed, then turned around and left with a smile.
