Chapter 493 A Dream of Red Mansions - Wang Xifeng 20

Mrs. Wang thought her plan was foolproof, but she didn't expect to suffer a disastrous defeat at the first step. Wang Xifeng simply refused to come to Rongguo Mansion on the grounds of poor health. Mrs. Wang was so anxious that she had to write to Wang Ziteng again to urge him to reply.

"Brother, have you considered the marriage between Feng'er and Lian'er? A few days ago, someone from the Zhang family came to our house. If you don't make a decision, I'm afraid the marriage will fall into the hands of the Zhang family."

It has to be said that Mrs. Wang is really good at controlling Wang Ziteng. Just a few words made Wang Ziteng feel a sense of urgency. Until now, Wang Ziteng still doesn't know that Jia She had never agreed to this marriage from the beginning to the end. He thought that because of his hesitation, Jia She couldn't wait any longer and was going to start considering the Zhang family.

But Prince Beijing was also urging for a reply, which made Wang Ziteng even more conflicted. He wished he could ask Wang Xifeng to be his second choice so that both sides could agree.

Wang Xifeng noticed that something was wrong with Wang Ziteng's expression recently. Sometimes he looked at her with surprise, but more often with embarrassment, so she decided to find out the reason.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Wang Xifeng first used her spiritual sense to scan the surroundings, then sneaked into Wang Ziteng's study at night. After a brief search, she found the letters from Lady Wang and Prince Beijing's Mansion.

After reading the contents of the two letters, Wang Xifeng frowned and a sense of urgency suddenly rose in her heart.

"It seems that Madam Wang is still unwilling to give up and insists that I marry Jia Lian."

"Why is Madam Wang so persistent?"

Wang Xifeng also didn't understand why Mrs. Wang wanted her to marry into the Jia family so much. Was it to control her? Or was it because only if she married into the Jia family would her power in the Wang family not be weakened?

After all, both she and Mrs. Wang are from the Wang family. Even if she marries into the Jia family, the only one Wang Ziteng can truly "connect with" is Mrs. Wang. As a junior, Wang Xifeng will always be in the second line, suppressed and used by Mrs. Wang. Even because of her kinship with Mrs. Wang, it is difficult for her to gain the full trust of the eldest wife in the Jia family.

"Wang Ziteng is really profit-driven. Have you forgotten the problem I mentioned so quickly?"

Wang Xifeng remembered that she had made it very clear to Wang Ziteng that if he really asked her to marry into the main branch of the Jia family, she would definitely come into conflict with her aunt, Lady Wang, who was the mistress of the second branch.

"It seems that Wang Ziteng doesn't really care about Madam Wang, his biological sister."

Thinking about it now, these problems may not be problems for Wang Ziteng. As long as his interests are not affected, he doesn't care about anything else.

Whether it was her niece Wang Xifeng who married into the first wife who won, or her sister Wang Fu-ren who married into the second wife who won, they were all women of the Wang family, so Wang Ziteng would just support whoever won.

As for who lives and who dies between Wang Xifeng and Wang Fu-ren, and whether they love each other or become enemies, Wang Ziteng doesn't care.

"What should we do now? Wang Ziteng is obviously more inclined to Jia Lian. Besides, even if he chooses Prince Beijing, it won't be much better."

Wang Xifeng remembered that in the later period of Dream of the Red Chamber, the King of Beijing was also liquidated by the new emperor, and lost his title and became a commoner. At that time, she, as a "concubine", could not compare with other people's wives, but at least she could still retain some dignity.

"No, we have to find something for Wang Ziteng to do!"

If we leave it like this, Wang Ziteng will definitely make a decision soon. Now we can only hope that Wang Ziteng is busy and has no time to deal with these things.

I remember that Mrs. Wang wrote in the letter that Jia She intended to let Jia Lian marry a girl from his biological mother's family, the Zhang family. Now, as long as Wang Ziteng doesn't interfere, this marriage will definitely be successful.

As for Prince Beijing, the position of concubine is simply not an option. Given Wang Ziteng's character, he will at least make sure there are benefits before agreeing to it.

What he lacks now is time. The longer this matter is delayed, the more time he will have to practice. As long as he can cultivate the Merit Merit Merit Channel and separate himself from the identity of 'Trader Wang Xifeng', everything will not be a problem.

Wang Xifeng's eyes turned, and she suddenly remembered that she still had the Soul-Devouring Stone that she had taken from the Great Illusionary World in her space. With the Soul-Devouring Stone, she could make Wang Ziteng "busy".

Mrs. Wang of Rongguo Mansion was still anxiously waiting for Wang Ziteng's reply, but she never expected that what she was waiting for was the news that Wang Ziteng had suddenly fallen ill and fainted.

As for Jia Lian's marriage, with the tacit approval of the old lady Jia's mother, it finally took shape.

Jia She tried his best to promote it, and the person involved, Jia Lian, had no objection. The Zhang family was also interested. Now the young lady of the Zhang family was on her way to Beijing from other places. They just had to wait for Miss Zhang to arrive in Beijing and ask Jia Lian to take a look at her and then decide on the marriage.

Everyone was waiting for Miss Zhang's arrival, including Lady Wang, Jia Lian, Jia She, and even Wang Xifeng. Besides Lady Wang, the most anxious ones were Wang Xifeng.

But what Mrs. Wang was anxious about was why Miss Zhang was arriving so soon, while Wang Xifeng was anxious why Miss Zhang had not arrived yet.

Wang Ziteng fainted in the study, holding a black stone tightly in his hand, which the servants could not pry open.

Zhen specially invited the imperial physician to come and treat the patient, but the only explanation he gave was that the patient had a loss of soul. He prescribed some ginseng soup and tonic medicine to maintain the patient's life, and nothing more.

Wang Ziteng was unconscious, and Zhen stayed by his bedside in tears all day long. As a "filial" niece, Wang Xifeng naturally came to pay her respects to her uncle Wang Ziteng every day. In fact, she was observing Wang Ziteng's condition. Once Wang Ziteng had too many souls sucked away by the Soul-Devouring Stone, she would take out the Soul-Nourishing Stone to replenish his soul.

It's impossible that Wang Ziteng would really have his soul sucked out and die suddenly like Jia Rui.

Although this could indeed solve the problem once and for all, Wang Xifeng did not want to bear the consequences of parricide. As long as she could avoid the fate of marrying into the Jia family, the trader's mission would be accomplished.

As for whether the "trader Wang Xifeng" can escape the fate of being married to Prince Beijing or the new emperor by Wang Ziteng, that is none of his business.

When Wang Ziteng was unconscious, Wang Xifeng's brother Wang Ren began to tremble. Wang Ziteng was very strict with Wang Ren, beating or scolding him at every turn, which was consistent with the current father's teaching pattern, making Wang Ren afraid of Wang Ziteng.

Although Wang Ziteng was busy before, he still cared about Wang Ren overall. After all, he was the only male in the Wang family's generation, and Wang Ziteng naturally didn't want him to grow up to be a playboy who squandered the family wealth.

But Wang Ren couldn't understand Wang Ziteng's idea. He just thought his uncle was bad and too controlling. Now Wang Ziteng seemed to be dying, so didn't that mean that he would be in charge of the Wang family from now on?

Wang Ren's character is just like the other members of the Wang family, selfish and profit-seeking. But what makes him worse than the other members of the Wang family is that he is uneducated and has no scheming or tricks at all.

While his uncle Wang Ziteng was in a coma, his aunt Zhen was not paying attention, and his sister Wang Xifeng was unable to pay attention, Wang Ren took his personal servant to steal from the palace's storehouse, pawned and sold the items, and used the money to squander and have fun.
