Quick Wear: The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character's Counterattack

Chapter 160: Transmigrated into an Unlucky Marquis (11)

It had been many years since she had been contradicted like this. Grandmother Jia wanted to get angry, but then she thought that it was indeed the Jia family who did something wrong about Shi Xiangyun, so she could only apologize humbly.

"The Madam was ill during those days, so she asked the maid from the Xue family to help manage the household. Alas, what does she know as a child? And since she is a relative, it is embarrassing for her to be involved, so some of the servants are allowed to run wild. I have already punished them a while ago, and no one dares to talk nonsense anymore. When the girl Yun marries in, she will be the mistress of the house, and no one will dare to let her suffer any injustice."

Ning Ning sneered, "Aunt, don't mention that. What's the mistress of the house? Is the Second Mistress Lian in the mansion just a decoration? Besides, since the maid of the Xue family is the housekeeper in the mansion, why not just hire her as a daughter-in-law? Isn't that the logical thing to do!"

Speaking of housekeepers, in fact, Jia Lian should inherit the title in the future, and Wang Xifeng is the natural housekeeper.

If that's the case, Jia Zheng's second wife should be separated by then, and they won't even have room to live in Rongguo Mansion.

However, by then Jia Yuanchun's background would be completely exposed. She was the eldest daughter of a duke's mansion, but the daughter of a fifth-rank official.

Even within Jia Zheng's family, Jia Baoyu is only the second son, and there is also the eldest grandson Jia Lan. How can his wife be in charge of the family!

The current situation is simply because Lady Jia is still around and can suppress all parties, so everyone is just compromising reluctantly.

Once Lady Jia dies, there will be a fight between dragons and tigers!

In such a quagmire, only the Xue family would rush into it!

After being repeatedly rejected by the Shi family, Grandmother Jia could no longer suppress her temper. She took out Jia Yuanchun's decree and said, "You are so ungrateful that you don't even listen to the words of the imperial concubine?!"

Ning Ning took the order and read it, and was delighted.

Jia Yuanchun is really good at assisting people. This time she will definitely cut off ties with the Jia family completely and dig a big hole for themselves.

It's not that Jia Yuanchun was too confident, or that she wanted to make amends to the Xue family, but in the edict, in addition to arranging the marriage between Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun, she also decided to make Xue Baochai the second wife.

She probably thought that mentioning Xue Baochai in the decree was doing her justice.

It’s a pity that you, Jia Yuanchun, have no right to marry into the Shi family!

Do you think you are the emperor?

If the Jia family wants to get married and the other party is willing, then there is nothing wrong with you granting the marriage, it would be icing on the cake.

But the historian is clearly unwilling to do so. Can you force him to do something even if he refuses to drink the water?

But Grandmother Jia didn't understand what they meant and thought they were frightened by the order!

"Our two families are old relatives, how could I do anything bad to you! You two children are really a worry! Can you rest assured this time? With the Queen's decree, who dares to look down on Yun girl after she marries him!"

Shi Nai was furious. "What a virtuous concubine! My Shi family clearly doesn't want to marry off their daughter, but she still wants to force them to do so!"

Ning Ning, "Let's hand in the sign and go to the palace to ask His Majesty to make a judgment!"

"You, how dare you be so bold! Where do you want to put the queen? Don't you care about the friendship between our two families for many years?"

Grandmother Jia was so angry that her whole body was shaking, but Shi Nai and Ning Ning were unmoved!

Ning Ning, "We do want to consider this, but you guys are here to force us to get married. If we are still polite to you, the Shi family will have to change their surname to Jia in the future! Although my aunt has been married for many years, she should not forget that you are also a daughter of the Shi family!"

Shi Nai also said, "It is clear that you have no regard for our friendship. Such behavior is hateful and abominable!"

They ignored the advice, took the decree and did not return it to the Jia family, but directly handed the sign into the palace.

The two of them still had their titles, so they were both qualified to enter the palace. After passing through the palace gates and meeting the emperor, they told him everything.

"My family clearly disagrees with the marriage. They have mentioned it several times and we have rejected it. But they insist on using the decree of Consort Xian De to force us. How can this marriage be forced? Please, Your Majesty, make the decision for us!"

The emperor was also confused. What the hell was Concubine Xian De doing?

He ordered the eunuch to present the decree, and it turned out to be authentic. Moreover, the decree clearly stated that even Jia Baoyu's second wife had been arranged, which made him so angry that he laughed!

This virtuous concubine is really unreliable!

He was also fed up with Jia Yuanchun, as if he didn't know. Jia Yuanchun always gave money to the eunuchs around him and asked them about his movements. This is called spying on the emperor, you know!

If the retired emperor had not been still alive, he would have dealt with Jia Yuanchun long ago so as not to offend the retired emperor.

Now look what happens, this is giving you something to use against yourself!

Moreover, the Shi brothers are quite sensible, so he should treat them well and let those old ministers see that as long as they are more sensible, they will have a good life.

So, he comforted Ning Ning and Shi Nai with gentle words, saying that they don't need to pay attention to this ridiculous decree, and their nieces can just choose another good husband. Concubine Xian De and the Jia family have made a big mistake, and I will definitely punish them!

He ordered Jia Yuanchun to be confined to her home and removed her green badge, but he did not say how long she would be confined!

The Jia family was also reprimanded and their imperial edicts were revoked. Even Jia She's title was demoted from the first to the third rank!

Jia She could be said to have suffered an unexpected disaster. He was not a member of the second wife and had not interfered much in this marriage. But since he was the heir to the title of Rongguo Mansion, of course he had to be punished. He was so angry that he kept cursing his mother at home!

Even Mrs. Xing came over and asked him, "Master, the old lady has fainted, should we go over to see her?"

"Bah! She has always been partial to the second son, and she actually let him live in the main house, while I, the eldest son who inherited the title, have to live in the side courtyard! No one takes me seriously on weekdays, and even that lady didn't give me a share of the festival gifts, but she pushed me to the front because she was punished! Humph, whoever wants to go can go, tell them that the title passed down from my ancestors has been downgraded, and I am so ashamed that I am bedridden and can't go!"

Saying this would be a slap in the face of Lady Jia, but Jia She doesn't bother to care about her face!

If the Jia family's sky fell halfway when Lady Jia's imperial edict was taken away and she fell ill, then the news that Concubine Xian De was under house arrest made their sky fall the other half.

Moreover, bad news came one after another. Jia Yuanchun was originally in her own palace. She had been feeling tired these two days and was lying on the couch listlessly, asking Baoqin to fan her.

Unexpectedly, the eunuch came to deliver the decree, and the content of the decree made her tremble with fear, "Eunuch, please tell the emperor that I want to see him! That decree of mine didn't mean that. I told them to give the decree only if the Shi family agreed to the marriage. I just wanted to add icing on the cake! How could I be so foolish as to force someone to get married!"

"Well, Madam, this is the Emperor's order, and I dare not disobey! You should rest in peace in the palace. When the Emperor's anger subsides, he will release you."

"No, no!"

She was so anxious that she was terrified. She was not favored to begin with, and she had to work hard to bribe the eunuchs before the emperor would remember her. If she was confined to her house, it would not take long for the emperor to completely forget about her.

Besides, even Lady Jia’s imperial edict was taken away, which shows how angry the emperor is. How could he let her out?

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, followed by a warm current flowing down her legs!

A terrible guess came to his mind, "Help! Quickly send the imperial physician to save my son!"
