Chapter 97 Two Imperial Edicts
Xichun is really anxious
"Brother, did you kill Jing Zhaoyi? Now that the news has spread outside, they will definitely come to arrest you."

Lin Daiyu and the others also hurried over, with panicked looks on their faces.

The maids behind them were carrying their bags.

It was obvious that he was really prepared to leave immediately. I felt touched and a little amused.

"Brother, we have packed our things, let's go quickly, or it will be too late." Yingchun said anxiously.

Jia Hu shook his head slightly.

"You didn't listen to a word I said.

Now that you are here, why don't you all sit down and see if anyone dares to catch me?"

Lin Daiyu and Sanchun looked at each other. Although they were anxious,
But Jia Hu was not in a hurry, and they had no choice but to sit down first.

Lin Daiyu thought for a moment and asked

"Third brother, why did you kill Jingzhao Yin?"

"He came to catch me, who should I kill if I don't kill him?" Jia Hu said as a matter of course.
Then he saw their worried eyes and smiled.

"But I guess this is the last time anyone comes to cause trouble. It will be much quieter from now on."

This made everyone a little confused, Xichun asked directly

"Brother, how can I say this? Won't this cause more and more trouble?"

Jia Hu smiled but did not answer, his eyes were deep. If this was true, then the emperor should be replaced.

Rongqing Hall was still very quiet. Everyone was silent, with different thoughts in their minds.

"Rustle." The sound of the door curtain woke everyone up. A maid said in panic
"Madam, someone from the gate came to report that someone from the palace has come to announce the decree."

"Swish!" Grandmother Jia stood up all of a sudden, her face becoming tense.

"Hurry, hurry out to receive the order." As he said this, he hurried out.

Jia She and the others were startled, knowing that the result had come. What would happen to the Jia family in the end depended on the meaning of this imperial edict.

They followed closely behind Lady Jia, and soon saw Dai Quan standing there.
Jia She’s eyes twitched. Why was it Dai Quan who came? Wasn’t he the emperor’s man?
Dai Quan saw Lady Jia and the others, glanced at them and frowned.

"What are you doing out here?"

These words stunned Jia Mu and the others. What did it mean? How could they receive the order if they didn't come out?

Grandmother Jia smiled and said

"My Lord, didn't you ask us to come here to receive your order?"

Dai Quan suddenly realized that they had misunderstood him and shook his head.
"We are not here to announce the decree to you, but to announce the decree to Master Hu in your mansion, ahem, Jia Hu."

"Ah!" Someone couldn't help but exclaimed, and everyone showed surprise.

Grandmother Jia's expression changed and she gave Jia She a look.

Jia She looked unhappy. He thought of himself when something happened, so why didn't he let Jia Zheng take charge?
But he still smiled and stepped forward, stuffing silver into Dai Quan's pocket.

"Manager Dai, why are you here?" he said in a low voice.

"is it serious?"

Dai Quan pinched the banknotes in his sleeves and glanced at Jia She.
"The Emperor has spoken. Your Jia family is fine this time. Well, that's a good thing." Then he frowned and said,
"General Jia, you should take our family to find Jia Hu first. This imperial edict is for him."

Jia She felt relieved, as long as the Jia family was fine, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Then I'll take you there. Hu Ge'er's yard is hard to find."

Dai Quan nodded

"Then I'll trouble you, General Jia." After saying that, he followed Jia She without even looking at Lady Jia and the others.

Grandmother Jia didn't care. She had heard what was said just now and breathed a sigh of relief.

Thanks to the intervention of the retired emperor, the Jia family managed to escape disaster.

Just as they were about to turn around and leave, they heard someone outside anxiously saying, "Go and report quickly, and tell them that we are here to announce the decree."

Everyone froze and looked outside in surprise. At a glance, Grandmother Jia recognized Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch beside the emperor.

"Let the eunuch in quickly." Jia's mother said hurriedly.

The gatekeeper did not dare to stop them and quickly let Xia Shouzhong in. When Xia Shouzhong came in and saw Jia Mu and the others, his eyes sparkled.

"Butler Dai is here?"

Grandmother Jia nodded, not understanding why.

"Hurry, take us to see Jia Hu." Xia Shouzhong said anxiously. No matter how hard he tried, he was still a step too late.

Everyone in Rongguo Mansion was confused. What was going on?
Wasn't there a eunuch who went to announce the decree? Why is there another one?
Jia Mu came to her senses and quickly pushed Jia Zheng, who was stunned.
"Zheng'er, take this eunuch there."

Jia Zheng came to his senses.
"Uh oh, ok, ok."

When Xia Shouzhong followed Jia Zheng away, everyone came to their senses. Wang Xifeng asked curiously:

"Old lady, why are there two people here to announce the decree?"

Others also looked at Lady Jia with curiosity.

Grandmother Jia looked solemn and shook her head.

"I don't know either. Alas, I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. I can only wait until they come back to find out what the situation is."

Everyone returned to Rongqing Hall in fear again. Instead of relaxing, they became even more nervous.

They are now very curious about what the two imperial edicts say, and they are both addressed to Jia Hu.

Mrs. Wang showed a rare smile of gloating and said,

"Both imperial edicts were addressed to Jia Hu, which means Jia Hu has caused a big trouble. Even the gods cannot save him this time."

Wang Xifeng's expression changed, and the others felt that what Mrs. Wang said made sense.

Grandmother Jia glared at Mrs. Wang

"Idiot, if something really happened to Hu Ge'er, it would be the Imperial Guards who came. Why would they announce the decree to him?"

Mrs. Wang paused.
"Ah, old...Madam, could it be that His Majesty would praise him?"

Grandmother Jia was too lazy to pay attention to her and was also confused.

It stands to reason that Jia Hu was guilty of the serious crime of killing an official. Even if the emperor stepped in,
I will also suffer physical pain, but something seems wrong today.

Dai Quan walked to the door of Jia Hu's courtyard but did not go in again.

Jia She was about to remind him, but when he saw this, he looked at Dai Quan in surprise.
"Butler Dai, how do you know that we can't enter this yard?"

Dai Quan's mouth twitched. It's not like he had never been here before. Of course he wouldn't tell anyone.
Instead, he smiled and called out in a gentle voice.

"Master Arum, Master Arum"

Jia She looked at Dai Quan's appearance and his eyes twitched. How did he become such a lackey?

He knew this man's identity. Even Xia Shouzhong, the chief steward of the retired emperor, was not as good as him.

Jia Hu, who was comforting Lin Daiyu and the others in the courtyard, frowned when he heard the shouting outside.
A cold light flashed in his eyes. Did he really want to change the emperor?

Li Liang ran over quickly, and then came over with Dai Quan and Jia She.

When Jia Hu saw Dai Quan, he remembered that he seemed to be the old eunuch beside the retired emperor.

"Ha, I have met Master Hu.

"Master Hu, do you still remember me?" Dai Quan saw Jia Hu sitting there, with a smile on his face, and asked with a nod.

Lin Daiyu and the others looked at Dai Quan curiously and fell silent.
Jia Hu nodded and said indifferently

"Why are you here? Are you here to cause trouble too?"
