Chapter 364 Dream of Red Mansions - Jia Yingchun 35

"What should we do?" Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, who learned the news at the same time, were really regretful at this time, especially Jia Lian himself. He clearly heard Jia Lang's persuasion with his own ears at that time, so why did he ignore it later?

"woo woo woo woo......"

Wang Xifeng was already crying inconsolably, and even Ping'er, who was serving her, couldn't help but feel sad. Although Ping'er sometimes felt dissatisfied with Wang Xifeng's refusal to give him to Jia Lian, after all, Wang Xifeng was the lady who grew up with her.

Now that Wang Xifeng had miscarried, how could Ping'er not be sad? Ping'er even had other thoughts in her mind. If Wang Xifeng had given birth to a son, she might have been able to become a concubine. Now that Wang Xifeng had miscarried, she would have to recover and continue to fight for a son. So when would she have a chance?

The more he thought about Ping'er, the more uncomfortable he felt. The crying of the two women was right next to Jia Lian's ears, making him feel very uncomfortable.

The next morning, the news spread throughout the Jia Mansion. After Jia Lang learned about it, he just followed the crowd and ordered his servants to send some supplements to Wang Xifeng and then ignored it.

Jia Lian wanted to complain to Jia Lang, but he couldn't do it because of his face. Just when Jia Lian was hesitating, the imperial edict came and Jia Yuanchun was conferred the title of concubine.

"... Jia Yuanchun is canonized as the virtuous concubine and given the title of minister of Fengzao Palace... She will return to Rongguo Mansion on June 8 to visit her relatives. I decree this!"

The decree that Jia Yuanchun was to be conferred the title of Consort Xian De came with the decree that Consort Xian De would return to Rongguo Mansion to visit her relatives in two months. Everyone in the Jia Mansion who was kneeling on the ground to receive the decree was extremely surprised.

Grandmother Jia was the first to react. She joyfully asked Jia Zheng to take the imperial edict, then hinted to the Second Madam to hand the red envelope to the eunuch who delivered the edict, and then glanced at Jia Lian.

Jia Lian understood and approached the ceremonial officer with a smile on his face. While secretly slipping gifts to others, he inquired about other information about the imperial edict, such as whether there were other daughters who were also to be made concubines.

Jia Lang stood at the back and looked at the happy smiles on the faces of Jia Zheng and the second wife of the second house, who were almost fainting. He turned around and glanced at the expressions of the people in the first house. Seeing that even the first wife of the first house were happy, he realized that the people in the Jia family, whether in the first or second house, were short-sighted and were completely blinded by the fact that Jia Yuanchun was made a concubine.

After being overjoyed, Grandmother Jia began to feel doubtful. Why had such a big event as Yuanchun being made a princess not appeared in her dreams?

Thinking of this, Jia's mother glanced at Jia Lang suspiciously, but found that not only was there no joy on Jia Lang's face, but there was also a hint of badness. At that moment, Jia's mother couldn't help but wonder if Jia Lang was jealous of the success of the second house and felt hatred for her, but when she thought about Jia Lang's usual performance, Jia's mother knew that she must have misunderstood Jia Lang.

Lang Ge'er is a man of steady character and intelligence, so he naturally wouldn't be so petty. Why does he look like that?

Thinking about Jia Lang's expression, Jia's mother couldn't help feeling uneasy. When everyone left and she was lying alone in bed, the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't sleep.

"Mandarin duck, mandarin duck!"

Grandmother Jia decided to secretly find Jia Lang to ask him about it. In the entire Jia family, no one else had the clearest mind except Jia Lang, so Grandmother Jia was naturally aware of this. She was suddenly afraid that Jia Lang might have known something outside that no one else in the Jia family knew.

"Grandma, what's wrong?" Yuanyang was accompanying Grandmother Jia. She woke up as soon as Grandmother Jia called her and quickly got up to ask about Grandmother Jia's situation.

"Yuanyang, go and quietly call Langge'er over for me!"

"Madam, it's already very late. Judging from the time, Third Master Lang might have already gone to bed. Why don't I go and call him tomorrow so you can go to bed early?" Yuanyang wanted to persuade her, but Grandmother Jia insisted, "No, I have something to do. I must see Brother Lang now."

Yuanyang had no choice but to agree and went to Jia Lang's courtyard under the cover of night.

Because of his status, Jia Lang always insisted on sleeping alone, and there were only a few people serving him. Now that Yuanyang came to find him, the door of Jia Lang's courtyard had already been closed.

Yuanyang took a lot of effort to finally wake Jia Lang up. When Jia Lang followed Yuanyang to Jia's grandmother's house, an hour had passed. He entered Jia's grandmother's bedroom by candlelight. Jia's grandmother had already gotten up and had been waiting for Jia Lang for an hour.

"Madam, Master Lang San is here."

Yuanyang reported softly, bringing Grandmother Jia out of her thoughts. Grandmother Jia looked up at Jia Lang who came late at night, and suddenly felt that the person in front of her was very strange.

Yuanyang urged Jia Lang to come over urgently, so he had to let his hair down and put on a simple coat and follow. It was the first time that Jia Mu saw Jia Lang in such a disheveled state. Looking at Jia Lang through his loose hair, she was surprised to find that from this angle Jia Lang really looked like a woman.

Grandmother Jia's heart skipped a beat, as if she had been hit by a hammer, and she connected everything with the dream.

Could it be that Jia Yuanchun became the imperial concubine because Jia Yingchun became Jia Lang in this life? Then why did Jia Zhu still die young?

"Old lady, what is the matter that you want your grandson to come over for?"

Jia Lang didn't have the patience to continue staring at Grandmother Jia. After he came in, Grandmother Jia just stared at him without saying a word, so Jia Lang quickly opened his mouth to ask.

"Yuanyang, go and help me guard the door."

Grandmother Jia sent Yuanyang out, and only when she and Jia Lang were the only ones left in the room did she get down to business.

"Lang'er, what do you think of the imperial decree today regarding Yuanchun's title as imperial concubine?"

"This is a good thing. Big sister has endured for so many years and finally her hardship has paid off. Your grandson is happy for you and for the Rongguo Mansion!" Jia Lang's behavior at this time was the same as Jia Lian's, and no matter how hard Grandmother Jia looked at him, she could not find any flaws.

If Jia Lian had listened to his advice before, perhaps Jia Lang would not have chosen to hide the truth from Lady Jia this time, but would have told the truth. However, since he discovered that no matter how he persuaded Jia Lian, the choice they should make would not change, Jia Lang decided not to be a talkative person anymore.

Grandmother Jia couldn't see Jia Lang's flaws, but she had doubts in her heart and naturally wouldn't be fooled by Jia Lang.

"Alas! I guess I, as your grandmother, have done something wrong, which has caused Lang'er to be unwilling to trust me and tell me the truth."

Grandmother Jia played the victim and kidnapped filial piety and morality at the same time. Jia Lang looked anxious and kept explaining that he was telling the truth and did not hide anything.

Seeing that this trick didn't work, Jia's mother immediately held back her tears and said expressionlessly, "When you were still in Aunt Li's belly, the court doctor diagnosed that it was a girl. Unexpectedly, when you arrived in Jinling, Aunt Li gave birth to a boy."

"I don't know if it's because the doctor in the palace is not good enough, or..."

Jia Lang remained calm and was completely unmoved by Lady Jia's threats. If Lady Jia had the guts, she could expose him. At worst, they would all die together. Now was not the time for him to go to Beijing. No matter how much the Jia family wanted to get rid of Jia Lang's influence in deceiving the emperor, no one would believe it.
