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

Chapter 162: Transmigrated into an Unlucky Marquis (13)

Aunt Xue really wanted to spit her out. Even when Jia Baoyu was still the grandson of the Duke, she refused to let Xue Baochai be Jia Baoyu's second wife. What about the current situation of the Jia family!

She took so much money from her in the first place, and she worked so hard for Consort Xian De, but the result was that her daughter became a concubine?!

If Jia Yuanchun's original order had been to let Jia Baoyu marry Xue Baochai, this wouldn't have happened!

But she didn't dare to disobey, and besides, who could Xue Baochai marry with such a reputation?

She could only let Mrs. Wang swear that she would make Xue Baochai her legal wife in the future before she gritted her teeth and agreed to the marriage.

When she turned to face Xue Baochai, she could only say with tears in her eyes, "My son, I have no choice. Your decision to become the second wife has been approved by His Majesty, so how dare we disobey? Your aunt has already said that she will make you the first wife in a while. Baoyu has a good temperament and good looks, and he is also smart. Although they are not from a duke family, you should encourage Baoyu to study hard in the future. He will definitely achieve fame in the future, and you will be able to get through it."

Xue Baochai forced a smile, "Mother, you don't have to say anything. I know my family is in trouble, so I will just go there."

Aunt Xue's tears fell even harder. "My son, the more sensible you are, the more upset I feel. I am sorry for you!"

"mother!"

Xue Baochai threw herself into her arms and burst into tears!

No matter how reluctant she was, Xue Baochai had no choice but to wear pink clothes, sit in a sedan chair, and be carried quietly into the Jia family's courtyard.

After coming here, Xue Baochai was still as virtuous as before, but she just didn't get along with Jia Baoyu.

After the incident at home, Jia Baoyu became much more silent, but he still had no interest in studying. Xue Baochai tried to persuade him, but he said, "What's the point of studying? Even if you become an official, you can still be overthrown by a word from others. Sister, why can't you see through it after all this? If you climb high, you will fall hard. Our family has done absurd things in the past, and the virtue accumulated by our ancestors has been lost. We should just live a peaceful life. You see, the Marquis of the Shi family saw through our family, so he kept his distance from us. Now his family is not implicated."

Xue Baochai was filled with anger. "You are still talking about Lord Shi. He is not as ruthless and absurd as his family, and he cannot cause these things. Since you said that his family can see things clearly, how come I heard that Shi Nuo even took the imperial examination and passed it!"

"Everyone has his own destiny. I guess they have someone to help them."

"The noble lady you are talking about is not Sister Yun, I heard that she went to seek refuge with Shi Qing, and Shi Qing chose a marriage for her among the generals in the military camp, and they will be married soon."

"It is indeed so. It is also her good karma."

Xue Baochai was greatly disappointed. When she saw Jia Baoyu mentioned the Shi family, she thought that Jia Baoyu was thinking about Shi Xiangyun, and she felt a little unhappy.

But when talking about Shi Xiangyun's marriage, Jia Baoyu was indifferent. He didn't even say that his daughter shouldn't get married. It seemed that he had seen through the world.

In the past, when he said such things, they would laugh at him and say that he was just talking childishly.

But now she wished that Jia Baoyu would say a few more such "nonsense" words, which would be better than looking half-dead.

In fact, not only she felt sad, but everyone in the Jia family felt bad too!

It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Now there are not so many people to serve, and there are many people in the second room, and they are all crowded together. Quarrels break out in a few days.

Even Mrs. Wang couldn't help but curse at Aunt Zhao!

No, we have to find a way to reinstate Jia Zheng. At that time, officials who were dismissed for crimes could be reinstated.

Grandmother Jia mobilized all her energy, contacted her old connections, and even shamelessly asked for help from the Shi family, but unfortunately Ning Ning didn't even let her in.

She asked Mrs. Wang to look for Wang Ziteng again, but Wang Ziteng's condition was not very good either. The retired emperor was not feeling well and was in and out of consciousness. Although the emperor was guarding his bed and looked very filial, he would not show any mercy in seizing power from his cronies.

Wang Ziteng was promoted in name only but demoted in reality. He was promoted to the inspector of nine provinces and was ordered to patrol the border. Although it looked very glorious, the actual power in his hands was greatly reduced and he could no longer help Jia Zheng in any way.

Besides, money is needed to manage the affairs, so Mrs. Wang had no choice but to pressure Xue Baochai again.

When Xue Baochai came in, she saw that Xue Baochai didn't bring much dowry, but she looked very unhappy.

But Aunt Xue also has a point. How can a concubine bring a dowry? If you want a dowry, that's fine. This will make my daughter your legal wife.

Mrs. Wang still needs to rely on this to control Xue Baochai, so how could she agree easily? The two sides kept fighting, and Mrs. Wang took off her kind face and began to torture Xue Baochai.

She was asked to set the rules, requiring her to serve Lady Jia after she had served her meals. She also said that the family business was in difficulty now and there should be no waste, so she asked Xue Baochai to eat at her place, which was actually just her eating her leftovers. Within a few days, Xue Baochai's face had become thinner due to being worn out, and her peony-like complexion was gone.

At this time Jia Zheng caused trouble again.

In order to regain his throne, he used all means possible and even sent Jia Tanchun to the Nan'an Palace, where she was adopted as a goddaughter by the princess.

When the news came, the whole capital was in an uproar!

Princess Nan'an was not being compassionate. She was simply too lazy to care about the Jia family.

But Prince Nan'an was defeated in the battle, and the Emperor was angry and wanted the princess of the palace to marry into the imperial court.

Princess Nan'an was reluctant to let her own daughter marry far away, so she searched the capital for a goddaughter. At this time, she remembered that she had met Jia Tanchun at the Jia family. She was not only good-looking, but also smart and strong-willed. She was the perfect match for her daughter's marriage.

Besides, the Jia family is now in decline, and they are asking her for help. How could she dare to refuse!

As soon as the princess gave the order, they sent Jia Tanchun to the palace to learn the rules and regulations, and after a few days, she was sent away as a bride.

Selling a daughter for fame and fortune is so shameless!

When Shi Nuo heard this, he couldn't believe it either. He went to tell Ning Ning. Ning Ning smiled and said, "They are really crazy. It's bad enough that they just eat in an ugly way, but they also make stupid moves one after another. They are simply courting their own death!"

The Emperor was planning to deal with these old ministers. If the Jia family had been willing to stop, they could have still kept their current lives. Unfortunately, they were greedy and unwilling to be satisfied. They kept on getting ahead, so they could only be buried with him.

A few days later, the Wang family fell first. The emperor received a report saying that Wang Ziteng accepted bribes under the pretext of patrolling the border, so he searched his house and questioned him.

In fact, it is a common practice to give gifts when meeting superiors, and the emperor is just taking advantage of the situation.

Soon after, the Nan'an Palace also collapsed.

Sending Princess Nan'an to marry was the punishment the emperor gave to his family, but they pretended to obey and adopted a goddaughter to replace her. How could the emperor not hate them!

While the emperor was on his deathbed and could not take care of them, the Nan'an Palace was raided and the Jia family was implicated, accusing them of deceiving the emperor together. All the members of the Jia family were thrown into prison. This time, the earth was really left clean!

But everything has nothing to do with the Shi family anymore. Although Shi Qing still holds a low official position and Shi Nuo has not passed the imperial examination to become an official, he saved the Shi family from this catastrophe in the imperial court and also left behind the seeds for its revival.

Ning Ning completed the mission and passed away in her sleep, returning her body to its original owner.
