Chapter 240 Goodbye, Madam Wang

The last time Lin Chen came to Jia's house, he was invited by Jia Zheng.

At the same time, Jia Mu also plans to have a relationship with Lin Chen, a newly promoted martial arts disciple.

On the surface, Lin Chen and Jia Mansion do have some friendship.

It's just that the people in Jia's family are somewhat outrageous.

This time the Liaodong smuggling case occurred, all the noble families in the capital involved knew Lin Chen's role in it.

There were even rumors spreading among these nobles.

That was this case, and it was originally the memorial that Lin Chen submitted to His Majesty.

At the same time, Lin Chen also had the names of nobles involved in the case recorded by the Liaodong border generals.

Therefore.

Some dignitaries in the capital were very anxious.

Even though Li Zhao didn't take this matter to face them.

But no one wants to have something in the emperor's hands.

Therefore, these nobles have been sending greeting cards to Lin Chen's mansion during this period, hoping to ask for a meeting.

Lin Chen could guess the purpose of these people with his knees, which was to get him to remove one or two names.

Very unfortunately.

In the list that Lin Chen got from Liaodong, there were indeed people from the Jia family.

It was none other than Jia She and Jia Zhen.

Don't do anything about personnel.

Faced with Lin Chen's sudden visit, although the Jia family felt it was unexpected, they also welcomed him.

Among them, Jia Zhen and Jia She were the most enthusiastic.

Jia Zheng was very confused, but he remembered.

Aren't these two people a little cold towards Lin Chen?

Why has this person changed his temperament today?

certainly.

Jia Zheng also welcomed Lin Chen's visit.

He also had good news that he planned to share with Lin Chen.

"Brother Lin, a certain family has a new bloodline."

With a reserved smile on his face, Jia Zheng shared the good news with Lin Chen.

When Lin Chen heard this, he fell silent for a while.

From a certain perspective, Jia Zheng is a good person.

But he somehow cuckolded him.

Thinking of Lin Chen here, he felt a little ashamed.

"Well, congratulations to Brother Jia Zheng." Lin Chen coughed lightly.

"Same joy, same joy!"

Jia Zheng didn't hear anything strange in Lin Chen's voice, and just thought that Lin Chen was sincerely congratulating him.

"I was in such a hurry today that I forgot to bring a gift." Lin Chen apologized.

When Jia Zheng heard this, his expression immediately changed and he said dissatisfied: "Brother Lin, what are you talking about!"

As a self-proclaimed scholar, Jia Zheng is most annoyed by these idiots.

It seemed as if Lin Chen was going to fall out if he continued to talk about this.

Just when Jia Zheng and Lin Chen were chatting.

However, a maid from Jia Mu came to announce that Lin Chen should go to the main hall for a banquet.

Jia Zheng was a little surprised when he heard what the maid said.

Is my mother going to host a banquet for Lin Chen?

After seeing Jia Zheng, he asked Lin Chen, "Brother Lin came to Jia's house this time. Is there anything else?"

Jia Zhengmuleng in the original book, as seen today, is absolutely true.

Lin Chen could only nod.

The news that Jia Zhen and Jia She were involved in the Liaodong smuggling case was leaked to Jia Zheng.

as expected.

When Jia Zheng heard this, he was so frightened that his face turned pale.

If a case like this were taken seriously, it would be a serious crime of confiscating a family and exterminating a clan!

"This...this disaster!"

Jia Zheng was so anxious that he was covered in cold sweat and looked at Lin Chen helplessly, as if asking for help.

Lin Chen held his forehead.

After being an official for so many years, Jia Zheng has not made any progress at all.

Didn't he notice?

Li Zhao didn't even mention that the Liaodong smuggling case involved nobles from the capital?

The thing to play is the tapping action of picking it up and putting it down lightly.

I can't even see through this. I can only say that Jia Zheng is not suitable for officialdom.

No choice.

Lin Chen had no choice but to comfort Jia Zheng, saying that he would help deal with the matter.

When Lin Chen and Jia Zheng arrived at the main hall, they noticed several hot glances directed at them.

Among them is Wang Xifeng.

The latter thought that he was unbearably lonely.

As for the other two.

Lin Chen looked at Jia Zhen and Jia She and suddenly felt a little chilly.

The two grown men staring at him made Lin Chen feel very uncomfortable.

However, he couldn't show it at all, he just gave a slight salute to Jia Mu, an elder.

Seeing this, Jia Mu's face lit up with joy.

She also learned from Jia She what heinous and treasonous things the two of them had done.

After all, Jia Mu still has some political sense, and she also knows the role Lin Chen played in the Liaodong smuggling case.

If Lin Chen's attitude was lukewarm when he came today, it would be really troublesome.

If Lin Chen is still willing to show his kindness to the Jia family, it means that there is still hope for the matter.

As for other people in the Jia family, they don't care about these things.

Just like Jia Baoyu.

He has been a little depressed recently, so much so that he has lost interest in fighting with his sister at home.

There are two reasons.

The first is that Sister Lin no longer comes to stay in Jia's house.

The second is that his father wants to open a trumpet and practice again, so he is quite alienated from him.

Jia Zheng and Jia Baoyu never dealt with each other.

The former dislikes the latter and only knows how to hang around the female family members without any ambition.

The latter complained that Jia Zheng was too strict and not like a father.

Different from Jia Baoyu.

The female relatives of the Jia family looked at Lin Chen with strange expressions.

Naturally, they learned that the ghost-faced general had been promoted again.

The third-grade Yulin generals are in charge of Yulin's 80,000-strong army.

He is a powerful general with real power.

These daughters' families also heard that General Lin had not yet married, and they couldn't help but have some thoughts.

After all, as daughters of officials, they are also very clear about their future fate.

It is nothing more than marrying into other noble families for the purpose of marriage alliance.

But Wang Xifeng had a sense of complacency in her eyes.

Apart from other things, she knew that the general was not an honest man in private.

Otherwise, he would not have hooked up with her, a woman.

Thinking of something, Wang Xifeng suddenly felt a little hot in her body, and spit at the enemy in her heart.

The banquet was very enjoyable for both the host and the guests.

Jia Mu was very tactful and did not rush to ask about Jia She and Jia Zhen.

She just arranged for Lin Chen to stay in the Jia Mansion and discuss it privately tomorrow.

Before leaving the table, Wang Xifeng gave Lin Chen a look.

Lin Chen naturally understood immediately and went to see her tonight.

But...

He might have to ignore this spicy girl tonight.

It was late at night in the Jia Mansion.

The Buddhist hall was still lit with candles.

The maids and servants of the Jia family said that Mrs. Wang had become more kind-hearted since she was pregnant.

She no longer had a stern face and smiled at the maids.

Lin Chen came to the Buddhist temple without disturbing anyone.

Naturally.

With his innate realm, it was impossible for ordinary people to find out.

As for this Mrs. Wang, she sat cross-legged in front of the Buddha statue and chanted scriptures.

It seemed that she was praying for the child in her belly.

Lin Chen had a headache.

Originally, it was fine after a night of romance.

Who would have thought that he would be so infatuated that he had to come and see this unlucky Mrs. Wang.

Fortunately, the other party did not hold a grudge against the child in her belly.

This made Lin Chen breathe a sigh of relief.

Thinking of something, Lin Chen felt that he should tell Mrs. Wang the truth.

Otherwise, this bad fate might lead to some disaster.
