For Jia Lian, knowing the truth of this matter was certainly shocking, but he could easily understand Shen Jiaoniang's mood.

That evil woman is not only vicious, but also disrespectful...

The reason why Jiao Niang did this was to protect herself. It was because she was useless and could not protect her that she forced such a gentle and kind person to do such a thing.

Therefore, he must protect her and cannot let her be dealt with by the family, Jia Baoyu and others.

Jia Baoyu raised his eyebrows habitually. Although he thought Jia Lian was stupid, he couldn't help but be moved by his sudden masculinity.

In any case, Jia Lian can be regarded as a person who can tolerate his own woman's mistakes.

It's a pity that Wang Xifeng, a woman, was not lucky enough to receive Jia Lian's true love and kindness.

"Brother Lian may not know the facts yet.

First of all, Brother Lian should not have brought this woman home during the national mourning period. Then she also used her status as a concubine to plot to frame the head of the family's grandmother. This is a capital offense according to ethical laws.

Brother Lian really wants to take the blame for her?"

Jia Baoyu's cold voice made Jia Lian tremble and subconsciously showed a look of fear.

When he heard the word death, he thought that Jia Baoyu was really going to take action against him.

After hesitating for a moment, he smiled bitterly in his heart.

That's all, if he really wants to deal with me, how can I resist?

If this is the case, it would be better to live and die together with my beloved.

So Jia Lian kowtowed to the ground and said sadly: "Brother Bao, please have mercy and spare the lives of their mother and son!"

"Second Master~"

Jia Lian was clearly scared, but still fought to the death to protect her, which made Shen Jiaoniang next to her suddenly moved.

She called out in a daze.

Jia Lian turned around and looked at her with tearful eyes, crying: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I will definitely protect you..."

"Second Master~!"

Shen Jiaoniang threw herself into her arms, buried her head on Jia Lian's shoulder, and looked at Jia Baoyu with a pleading look and shook her head.

She was not as pessimistic as Jia Lian. She knew that Jia Baoyu probably wouldn't do anything to them. Otherwise, as Jia Baoyu, there would be no need to joke with her before.

Jia Baoyu's nose twitched slightly. Could it be that he was not cruel enough, but this woman was not afraid.

But it didn't matter anymore. He originally did this just to see how much Jia Lian thought of this little lady, but now seeing that both of them were moved to tears, he had no interest in delaying it any longer.

"It's easy for me to spare her. Brother Lian, please move out of Dongkuayuan."

Jia Baoyu got straight to the point.

Once he loses interest, he won't make any detours.

Jia Lian's expression was suffocated, and he thought to himself, as expected...

Seeing his hesitation, Jia Baoyu said without concealment: "Brother Lian must also know that the master has now inherited the title of Duke of Rongguo from his ancestors, and Dongkuaoyuan, as part of Rongguo Mansion, is always divided into Second, it is not appropriate either.

Now that the old lady is here, it’s okay to say that in the future, if the old lady goes away, Brother Lian will have to move out. Since he has to move out sooner or later, why not move out now and create another house? What does Brother Lian think?"

Hearing Jia Baoyu say this, Shen Jiaoniang naturally did not dare to interrupt, while Jia Lian blushed.

He wanted to argue in his heart that it was a family property left to him by his father!

His father, on the other hand, got Dongkuaoyuan when he and Jia Zheng separated. Dongkuaoyuan was so small, so they already suffered a loss, right?

Now even this small part has to be taken back?!

But he didn't dare to say it because he didn't know what would happen if he refused Jia Baoyu.

So after suppressing his blush for a long time, he suddenly sighed and said, "Yes, I listen to you. Once my daughter and I clean up, we will find a house outside and move out immediately..."

Jia Lian felt bitter in his heart. In the end, he became the loser in the family dispute and was kicked out of the Duke's mansion.

"Well, in addition to Dongkuaoyuan, there are also some farms and several shops at home..."

Jia Lian raised his head again and asked hopefully.

Although Jia She had emptied his family fortune, he still had a lot of real estate left, which he wanted to keep.

Because now, it can be said that he is really penniless. In the past, he thought of turning around by relying on his title, but now it has come to nothing. In this stall that is destined to be kicked out, money is too important to him.

Otherwise, I won’t even be able to support my little girl...

Jia Baoyu smiled casually: "Those things naturally belong to Brother Lian. In addition, Brother Lian can also move all the valuable things in Dongkua Yard. Or you can tell me the number and I will convince you.

Master, let him buy the entire Dongkuayuan property from you."

"How much are you willing to pay?"

Jia Lian asked almost immediately.

He wouldn't think that these were Jia Zheng's intentions. He knew Jia Zheng well and would never be ashamed to kick him out, even though he might also find him an eyesore now.

"One hundred thousand, is that okay?" Jia Baoyu said calmly.

Jia Lian was stunned: "Copper coins?"

One hundred thousand Wen, less than one hundred taels of silver, is this an insult to him?

In fact, Jia Baoyu's tone obviously sounded like he was talking about money, but he couldn't believe it.

He is proficient in general affairs, so he naturally understands how much the remaining things in Dongkuao Courtyard are worth. In the past, they might have been worth a little money, but after he searched and sold them, they were really not worth much anymore.

Even if the house is demolished and sold, it will not be worth 100,000 silver!

Jia Baoyu sneered, "Brother Lian, if you want to exchange it for copper coins, you can do that."

Jia Lian was stunned again, and then couldn't help but look surprised: "Is it silver? One hundred thousand silver??!"

No wonder Jia Lian is like this. Jia Baoyu's previous behavior was just like a bully who oppressed and occupied his family property. How can a bully be kind and considerate?

One hundred thousand silver, even if he sells the entire Dongkuaoyuan, he may not be able to sell it for so much! Of course, even if he dares to sell it, no one will dare to buy it.

Jia Lian was thinking, did Brother Bao have no intention of occupying his Dongkua Courtyard, but actually wanted to buy Dongkua Courtyard from him?

If this is the case, it seems that I feel less uncomfortable...

Jia Baoyu didn't explain that much to him. He only said: "If Brother Lian agrees, that's it. With one hundred thousand taels of silver, Brother Lian can buy several of them no matter where they are."

It’s a house as big as Dongkuayuan, so it doesn’t mean it’s an insult to Brother Lian’s status.”

Speaking of this, Jia Baoyu couldn't help but glance at Shen Jiaoniang, whose eyes were rolling next to her. For a moment, she wanted to try, if he really purged Jia Lian and left the house, how would this woman deal with herself...

Jia Lian's face turned red again, this time not from humiliation or anger, but from excitement.

Jia Lian has one characteristic, that is, he is extremely realistic.

In fact, he doesn't care much about appearance. He is more straightforward and likes practical things, such as money and women.

Even the title of nobility is a stable way to make money in his opinion. Anyway, he has never thought about becoming an official and making a fortune. That is risky!

So even if he lost his title, he didn't feel too embarrassed.

But if you have these one hundred thousand taels of silver, you can do a lot more things.

For example, if you go shopping every day, as long as you don't show off, even if you spend ten taels of silver a day to find a beautiful woman to sleep with, it will still last for many, many years...

Sell, must sell!

Jia Lian made up his mind and agreed to Jia Baoyu's proposal again and again, as if he was afraid that he would regret it.

Jia Baoyu stopped his restlessness and continued: "In addition, after Brother Lian moves out, I can also give Brother Lian some compensation.

If you hold an official position below the fifth rank in the capital, a real position at the fourth rank or lower outside the country, or a temporary position at the third rank or below, Brother Lian is free to choose one."

Jia Lian was stunned again.

He didn't like being an official, but that was in the past. Now that he was leaving the Duke's Mansion, it was best to have an official position by his side.

Although the title of Tongzhi on his body is of the fifth rank, it is a false title donated by money. He does not even have a salary. Strictly speaking, he cannot be regarded as an official of the imperial court.

He really didn't expect that Jia Baoyu would consider him so thoughtfully.

Could it be that Brother Bao wants me to leave the capital?

Jia Lian couldn't help but be suspicious. After all, the choices given by Jia Baoyu were much higher in official positions in other places.

only……

"Brother Bao, can I stay in the capital? Don't worry, I can move further away. I can move directly to Dongcheng..."

Jia Lian asked cautiously.

First of all, he didn't want to leave the prosperity of the capital. He still had many friends and cronies in the capital.

Secondly, he had a small thought. He wondered if Jia Baoyu would secretly deal with him after leaving the capital. If he stayed in the capital, at least his mother Jia would be there for now. With this relationship, Jia Baoyu might not be able to treat him well.

.So he didn’t want to be too far away from Jia Mu.

Jia Baoyu glanced at him and said, "Okay."

Giving Jia Lian an official position was just for the convenience of the family. In fact, it was just to give Jia's mother a reasonable explanation.
