Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 426 You Will Die

While Grandmother Jia was distributing banknotes in her room, Jia Zheng returned to his study and wanted to burn the correspondence.

Caiyun called the servant in and held him down: "If the Second Master does something reckless now and burns something and leaves the ashes, it will give others a handle!

"The little kindness that Second Madam brought back from the princesses and county ladies in the palace was sold out by you!

"If you are so cruel that you want to kill the whole family to accompany you in your burial, then I will bear the crime of master slaying today and kill you in advance so that everyone will have less worries!"

Jia Zheng was so angry that his eyes were about to burst: "How dare you?!"

"There is nothing I dare not do! You can hang yourself from the beam with your belt tied to your waist. I have even found a reason for the search and seizure, and I don't believe they won't continue!"

Caiyun looked at him coldly, disgust flashing in her eyes, "How did you treat the second wife, and how did you treat Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou?

“Although we are slaves, we are not blind and remember everything!

"With your heartless and ungrateful character, hanging yourself would be too easy for you!"

Even a girl dares to despise me like this...

Jia Zheng's face was pale and he slumped in his chair in despair.

Li Wan hurried back to her room, muttering, "Why can't I get away with it? This is how I hate this family! Blood relatives, ugh!"

While pulling Suyun, he hurriedly packed up the gold and silver jewelry.

Su Yun couldn't help but complain quietly, "Our second house has been useless since we lost our wife.

"Besides, she had offended Miss Lin and the Third Miss before, and even the ladies in the palace couldn't beat them. The old lady's heart had long been biased towards the first wife.

"Look, just now, I asked the first wife, the second wife, and the fourth daughter to stay, and you were not the only one left among the female family members!"

Li Wan's panicking movements suddenly stopped, she raised her head abruptly, gritted her teeth and said, "Do you think the old lady will give them something in private..."

"Give it to me if you want!" Su Yun leaned over and whispered in my ear, "When we return to Jinling, they will all have lost their mother's families! But we still have the Li family!

"Now that we have lost our power, the clan can bully them however they want, but since we have the Li family, the clan must be careful!

"Besides, Master Bao is just a fool! If the Jia family wants to make a comeback in the future, they all rely on our Brother Lan!

"From now on, they will be the only ones begging you! What are you afraid of?!"

Li Wan calmed down and started to work again: "Hurry up! The emperor's personal guards will definitely give Lin girl face!

"Miss Lin is willing to take Brother Lang into the palace, she must still remember our friendship! As long as we are smart, we will be able to get out!"

The master and servant encouraged each other, and soon they became two bloated fat men.

It's getting noisy outside.

A pale-faced old woman stumbled in, shouting in a hoarse voice, "Grandma, the soldiers are coming to confiscate the property! Let all the women go to the old lady's main courtyard! Hurry up, or else if they get hurt, you'll die!"

Li Wan's face was completely drained of color, and she asked in a lost voice, "What? No matter life or death?!"

The old woman did not answer. After she finished shouting, she started to cry and hurried to the main courtyard - she was also a woman, and if she was "bumped" by the soldiers, she would be "in danger of life or death" too!

When disaster strikes, who cares who is the master and who is the servant?

The first thing is to survive!

Seeing that the old woman had run away like this, Li Wan and Su Yun finally realized the seriousness of the matter. They hurriedly supported each other and went out, walking and running, and returned to Jia Mu's main courtyard.

The yard was already crowded with maids, wives and old women, all standing and lying down. They were talking and crying, and the whole yard was in an uproar.

Li Wan pushed open the gate and walked in. No one had time to notice her, and no one was respectful enough to make way for her.

Everyone just cried and cursed about their bad fate.

Li Wan gritted her teeth and had to rely on Su Yun to clear the way ahead, and slowly squeezed to the door. Apart from Su Yun, no one else pushed the door and opened the curtain for her.

Inside the house, the outer room was crowded with the housekeeper's wife and the first-class maids, while in the inner room, Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng, Xichun and their personal maids sat together, weeping silently.

Li Wan looked at the people in the room and her face suddenly became unnatural.

From top to bottom, no one was like the master and servant. Not only were they wearing several layers of clothes, but they also each carried two bags.

The master and servant carefully found a corner and sat down, praying that they would not stand out.

"Daughter-in-law Zhu'er," Jia's mother insisted on calling her, "Come here."

Li Wan had no choice but to go over, with her head lowered and eyes downcast, and was about to stop next to Wang Xifeng.

Grandmother Jia held out her hand.

Mrs. Xing beside her pushed her rudely.

Grandmother Jia leaned forward and grabbed her wrist tightly. She smiled and said in a low voice, but viciously:

"You think you're the only one who's smart? Do you want to get all the women in my family stripped naked and searched for stolen goods???

"I'm telling you! If a soldier points at you or your maid and says you're smuggling something, we'll investigate it carefully.

"Just give me the death!"

Li Wan's face turned red, she bit her lower lip and tried her best to hide, but Grandmother Jia held her wrist tightly and would not let her go.

"Hubo, your grandmother is in urgent need of help. Take two maids with her and Suyun to wash their hands!"

Grandmother Jia shouted coldly.

At this point, who would still remember to give respect to the so-called master?

All the servants looked at Li Wan and Su Yun with mockery and contempt.

The master and servant were dragged into the clean room, and all the things in their arms and bodies were shaken out. Fortunately, Amber was kind-hearted and selected two or three of the largest bills from the many banknotes and returned them to Li Wan.

Unexpectedly, Li Wan hurriedly straightened her clothes and rushed out with Hubo, staring straight at the bag in her hand that originally belonged to her, and asked anxiously:

"What about my valuables? What should I do? Who can help me smuggle them out?!"

Amber froze, turned around and looked at her in disbelief, and asked, "Grandma, don't you know what a house is confiscated?"

"There are still Princess Lin and Princess Yimin in the palace. We can't search the female members of our family even if we search!" Li Wan was furious and shouted loudly.

There was an instant silence inside and outside the house.

idiot!

How can you shout out such words?

Wang Xifeng stood up suddenly, her face full of gloom, and she squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth: "Sister-in-law, you are tired of living your own life, so don't drag us into it!"

At this time, Grandmother Jia was so angry that she clenched her right fist and banged it on the couch. Her lips trembled, but she couldn't utter a word. She closed her eyes and fainted!

"Old Madam! Old Madam!" Xichun was so scared that she rushed forward to hug Lady Jia and burst into tears!

Wang Xifeng didn't care about Li Wan, and hurriedly raised her head and shouted outside: "Who is near the courtyard gate? Go out and tell her that our old lady has fainted. Please give her a dose of medicine!"

It was quiet.

No one said anything.

Li Wan's words were slowly turning over in everyone's mind:

So, the palace will give everyone a way out for the sake of Miss Lin and the Third Miss?

So, can we...

Everyone's mind became active.
