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

Chapter 152: Transmigrated into an Unlucky Marquis (3)

"Master, there are so many people giving gifts to the Jia Mansion nowadays. Should we also show our appreciation?"

The housekeeper came to ask what he meant, and Ning Ning nodded, "Send a gift as usual."

"Don't you need more?"

"No need. Your Lordship is ill and has no time to deal with these matters. By the way, has the news from Gusu been spread?"

"According to your instructions, Lord Lin has known everything. Miss Lin has lived in the green gauze cabinet since she arrived, and the young master of the Jia family was moved out and she was moved in. There is also the news that the Xue family also went to live with the Jia family. The eldest daughter of the Xue family brought a gold locket, saying that if you have gold, you must have jade to match it. The whole mansion has heard about it. And the servant who delivered the palace flowers was so incompetent that he gave the last one to Miss Lin, and she was still a guest."

At the end of the conversation, the housekeeper felt a little indignant. They would never treat the guests so poorly in their family.

The Jia family's family tradition really needs to be rectified.

"Anyway, all of this has been passed on to Lord Lin, and he didn't look happy when he heard it."

The housekeeper was actually a little puzzled as to why his own master knew so much about the Jia family's affairs and yet secretly passed them on to Lin Ruhai without letting him know who passed them on.

But he had been a housekeeper for a long time and knew not to ask questions that he shouldn't ask, and that knowing too much was not necessarily a good thing.

"Well, very good. I guess Lin Ruhai will also take action."

Lin Daiyu is Lin Ruhai's only flesh and blood, how could he not care about her?

If he knew that his daughter was being treated with disdain in the Jia family and was forced to compete with the girl from the Xue family for the position of "Second Madam Bao", how could he let his daughter suffer this injustice!

Even if she originally thought that life would be better if she married into her uncle's family and had her grandmother to take care of her, but how long could her grandmother take care of her? Her aunt looked down on her so much, how could she have a good life in the future as her aunt's daughter-in-law?

There are many ways that mothers-in-law in big mansions use to torture their daughters-in-law!

He had a good impression of Lin Daiyu, and since he had traveled through time, he wanted to help her.

Perhaps it was the knowledge that his daughter was in a bad situation that aroused Lin Ruhai's desire to survive. In the original novel, he was already terminally ill and would soon pass away, but at this time there was no bad news about him.

After all, Gusu is far away, and Jia family’s affairs happen faster than over there.

Soon, the news that the concubines could visit their parents spread from the palace, and the families of the concubines began to look for places and buy things. Of course, the Jia family was not to be outdone and did not want their queen to lose face among the concubines, so everyone from top to bottom became busy.

Ning Ning calculated that with the Jia family's grand plan, it might not be possible to build the Grand View Garden even if all the family's money was used up.

The Jia family has many masters and many things to do, and the money in the public treasury is getting less and less. Even if each master has a lot of wealth, who is willing to pay out of their own pocket?

So they must have set their sights here.

As a result, Ning Ning's illness became even more serious.

His son Snow took a leave of absence from his private school and came to take care of him.

Their family is simple. His original wife has passed away and he has no intention of remarrying, so he lives with his son.

So Shi Xiangyun lived with the second wife, not only because of the order of seniority, but also because the original owner and Shi Nuo were the only bachelors in the mansion and they were incapable of raising a girl.

Seeing Snow, Ning Ning was just about to tell him that her condition was not serious and that he didn't need to ask for leave.

But on second thought, people at that time attached great importance to filial piety. If he did not come to take care of his father when he was sick, he would be breaking a taboo.

Well, he will check the homework of his adopted son.

When he thought about studying hard, his eyes lit up.

Snow: ...Father, are you really sick?

He was taking the exam with great enthusiasm, and Snow was almost exhausted when the housekeeper came in and reported that Lady Jia and Jia Zheng had come to visit him.

Since it was a visit to the sick, it would be inconvenient for Mrs. Wang to come, so Jia Zheng came instead.

As soon as the housekeeper finished speaking, Ning Ning, who was full of energy just now, immediately threw the book away and lay on the bed twitching, "How, how can I trouble my aunt, quickly, quickly invite them in, cough cough, puff..."

So, when they came in, they saw Ning Ning who was bleeding again, and Shi Nuo who was confused.

Snow: ...Dad, how come this disease came so suddenly?

And don’t think I didn’t see that you just drank some wolfberry water before vomiting blood!

But no matter what, when his father, who depended on him for everything, fell ill, he was so anxious that his eyes turned red, and he quickly ordered the housekeeper to bring medicine.

Since the man was so ill, he naturally couldn't ask for money. Grandmother Jia and Jia Zheng could only ask about his condition and then comfort him, telling him to focus on recuperating and not worry too much.

Grandmother Jia lowered her eyes slightly, then raised them, her eyes full of concern, "The virtuous concubine is coming to visit her parents soon. You watched her grow up, too. I wanted to ask you to go and pay your respects to her, but your health... well, it's more important to take care of yourself. Why not let Nuo'er go? He was still young when the concubine entered the palace, so I'm afraid he can't remember anything."

If it wasn't really inconvenient, Ning Ning would have wanted to jump up and ask her, do you value money more than your life!

"Ahem, no, no, you can't do that. Your Majesty is a noble lady in the inner palace. How can you easily meet a man outside of the palace? Please behave properly. Please, haha!"

Ning Ning spat out a mouthful of blood as she spoke to cheer them up.

Grandmother Jia's face froze. She didn't expect her nephew to be so rude.

In fact, she was not that confused. She only told Snow to go, but she did not guarantee that Snow would be able to see the Empress.

But since you are involved in this matter, and seeing that they are working hard on renovating the garden, would you not lend a hand?

She hinted so clearly, why didn't her nephew take the money on his own initiative?

Shi Nuo also spoke up at this time, "My father is ill, and I have to stay at home to take care of him. I don't have the blessing to visit the queen. Butler, please ask the imperial physician to come over and ask them to prescribe another prescription. The previous one didn't get better for my father!"

People were about to order them to leave, so Grandmother Jia and Jia Zheng could only say a few words of concern and then left in embarrassment.

Of course they did not let Shi Nai's family go, but Shi Nai was still out of town and had not returned, so only his original wife, Madam Liu, was in the mansion.

Ning Ning had already sent someone to inform Madam Liu, and thus, a similar scene was played out in Shi Nai's mansion.

Although Mrs. Liu didn't vomit blood, she was also so sick that her face was pale, making it difficult for you to talk to her about money.

Even when Lady Jia suggested taking Shi Xiangyun over, she was politely declined.

After all, her aunt who raised her since she was a child was sick, and she had to stay by her side to take care of her.

Shi Xiangyun really wanted to go. She had her second brother in the Jia family to play with her, and also Baojie, whom she regarded as her own sister. Besides, she could just have fun there. She didn't have to learn needlework or be taken by her aunt to meet the women of other families and perform well in front of them. It would be a truly free and easy life.

But she really couldn't leave, so she could only watch Lady Jia leave, and she was so anxious that she burst into tears.

Mrs. Liu: ...You didn’t even cry when I was sick, you really have a conscience!
