Chapter 317: Hardly One Wave Has Subsided When Another Rises

Pinger pretended to have nothing to worry about and hurriedly entered the Yihong Courtyard. While rushing to get to the west wing, she coincidentally met Madam Wang coming out of the east wing.

She quickly stopped and respectfully greeted her, "Second Old Madam.

Madam Wang looked at her, half asleep, before giving her a tired smile and saying, "It's Pinger. It's hard to see you running around these past few days. If there's someone as sensible as you in Baoyus room, I can relax.

Madam Wang didn't pay much attention before until she served day and night these days, and only then did she realize that more than half of the big maids in Baoyus room were not virgins!

But Baoyu was only 14 years old now; how could he withstand such a storm?

Therefore, Madam Wang was distraught and couldn't help but endure it temporarily at this critical moment.

At this moment, she bumped into Pinger and remembered her usual behavior of adhering to her duties and never competing for favor or flattery. She couldn't help but express her feelings.

But how did Madam Wang know? Although Ping'er didnt compete for favor and flattery in front of Jia Lian, yesterday she gave up and offered up her delicate body on Sun Shaozong's bed!

However, even if there were no such personal affair, Pinger wouldn't have responded to her words. Otherwise, wouldn't it appear that she had the heart to switch to Baoyu's yard?

So Ping'er laughed and said, "I dare not take in the praise from you falsely. Regarding appearance and temperament, Xiren and Qingwen in Second Master Bao's house are ten times better off than me.

Better off? I think they are too promising.

Forget about Xiren. When Pinger talked about Qingwen, Madam Wang was even more unhappy that a big maid was instructing everyone, and she was even more imposing than a serious master!

She didnt have an identity yet. If she really became Baoyu's concubine in the future, wouldn't she be another Concubine Zhao?!

However, this was not easy to argue with Pinger, so Madam Wang waved her hand and said, "Alright, go and serve your Madam. If there's anything you can't handle, don't forget to have someone tell me.

After Ping'er obediently responded, Madam Wang led a group of servant girls and nannies out of Yihong Courtyard and headed straight to the lobby of the front yard. After several consecutive days of live experiments, it was finally time to see the results!

In half an hour, there were around seven to eight people scattered sitting in the Rongxi Hall, mostly the legitimate relatives of the three generations of the Rongguo Mansion, with the only exception of Sun Shaozong being the official representative.

In fact, Sun Shaozong didnt want to participate in this family meeting. However, Jia Zheng repeatedly invited him, so he couldn't resist it and had to come and accompany him.

He was reminiscing about the recent two consecutive nights of bowel battles on the Zhuojin Tower. In a deep voice, he heard Jia Zheng saying, "The methods that should be tried are almost done now. There is news from the State of Ziling that there is a 70% chance that they can be cured..."

70%?

Before he could finish speaking, Madam Wang couldn't help but exclaim, "Four people have died, and there's only a 70% chance?! No, I won't let Baoyu and Feng'er take this risk.

In recent days, Madam Wang and Jia Zheng have had quite a few fights because Jia Zheng only locked Concubine Zhao in the small Buddhist hall in the backyard without severe punishment.

Under Jia Zheng's guilty conscience, he had to retreat constantly, but he had already suffered a lot of suffocation.

Now that they were discussing the matter, Jia Zheng was immediately annoyed when he saw that his wife was still bothering and pestering recklessly. He narrowed his eyes and said, "So should we do according to your instructions? Do we continue to find someone to test the medicine?

Hmph.

Madam Wang snorted; although she didnt make a formal response, her expression was clearly tacit.

Pa!

Jia Zheng slapped the coffee table and glared angrily. "It's completely absurd! Do you think that the prison is run by our family? Now that these people have died in our family, it's already difficult to explain to the Ministry of Justice and Central Judicial Office. You even want to

So what?

Madam Wang was also annoyed and asked in a confrontational tone, "Is it because you want to risk your son's life to avoid being a sinner? You are willing, but I cant.

You

Okay, cool down.

Seeing the couple arguing, Old Lady Jia threw the dragon's head crutch to the ground and scolded, "Why are you making so much noise? If my good grandson heard, wouldn't his soul be even more unwilling to return to its place?

Seeing the Old Lady speak, Jia Zheng and Madam Wang listened attentively.

At this time, Old Lady Jia turned the corner again and asked Jia She, "Voice out your opinion; what do you think about this matter?"

Jia She was watching the excitement on the side. When he was asked about his opinion, he became a little flustered. He hesitated a few times before saying, "I don't have anything to say, but Baoyu and Lian's daughter-in-law can't make a difference. What should I do?"

Thanks to such a lack of encouraging words, Madam Xing even nodded vigorously with a casual demeanor.

Looking at Jia Lian again, he looked even more like his thoughts were wandering, and he didn't know what he was pondering on.

Old Lady Jia sighed secretly and turned her gaze to Sun Shaozong. She kindly asked, "Brother Sun has always had ideas; I wonder what your opinion is?"

Wasnt it agreed that he would only be an audience?

Sun Shaozong reluctantly muttered; in fact, according to his intentions, 70% was not low.

Moreover, those witches, doctors, monks, and Taoist priests, in order to shirk their responsibilities in the future, would definitely revise their success rate downward, so the actual success rate might be over 80%.

Just looking at what Madam Wang meant, she definitely wouldnt agree with this statement.

Therefore, after a moment of reflection, he changed his approach and said, "Actually, I have been trying to figure out for the past two days whether Chen Bo was killed or whether the poison gas attack was irreparable. After all, the first few poisoned people also died after being crazy for some time.

Although this statement didnt explicitly indicate his attitude, the meaning inside was simple and easy to understand. Who could guarantee that if they dragged on further, they wouldnt be poisoned and die?

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and Old Lady Jia suddenly gave another swipe of the dragon's head crutch. She said decisively, "Let those people prepare, and we will start expelling evil spirits and treating diseases at noon today.

Jia Zheng immediately stood up and responded. Madam Wang hesitated for a moment but ultimately didnt stop him.

At this point, Sun Shaozong felt that this should have nothing to do with himself and was waiting for the scene to end. However, Old Lady Jia smiled at him and said, "Brother Sun, I'm afraid I'll need to trouble you for something.

Yes, thats right

Jia Zheng quickly followed suit and said, "According to several Masters, it's best to invite someone with big energy to protect when expelling evil spirits and treating diseases. I'm afraid this person must be you, nephew.

They were really using all kinds of tricks

Sun Shaozong was speechless, but he couldn't help but remember that the way he used to detoxify seemed to involve the process of taking a medicinal bath.

Wasnt this saying

Don't worry, dear nephew.

It was about seeing Sun Shaozong's inner concerns that Jia Zheng hastily added, You only need to take care of Baoyu alone. We have hired someone else to take care of Lian's daughter-in-law.

Damn!

Sun Shaozong was filled with excitement then was immediately doused with a deep chill, but he didnt dare to show it. Instead, he pretended to be relieved and said, "Since that's the case, I naturally will listen

Master!

Just at this moment, Zhou Rui hurriedly arrived outside the door and exclaimed, "Two hundred households Inspector from the Northern Detective Department have arrived, and they say there is an urgent matter they need to report to you personally.
