Chapter 256 Stay Away From Him
"You make it sound so easy for you to say. Now, how can we persuade you, and what can we use to persuade you?"
The Zhou family also lost their temper. The situation was unfavorable to them, and to make matters worse, the seventh prince was an uncontrollable individual.
"I'm not thinking about Zhou Dajia; you're resourceful and surely have a solution."
The staff below began to flatter him again.
Zhou Dajia glanced at the speaker. The Seventh Prince was right about one thing: there was no point in keeping some useless people around.
As Zhou Dajia walked forward, the people behind him were immediately impressed. They thought, "It would be great if Zhou Dajia went. They're too ashamed to go; they'd just get a good scolding if they went. Zhou Dajia is different."
To everyone's surprise, Zhou Dajia didn't go to find the Seventh Prince; instead, she turned around and left.
Zhou Dajia summoned the Seventh Prince's personal eunuch and told him that what happened in the garden that day must not be revealed to anyone. The person who was beaten should be taken good care of and not allowed to die. Others should also be given some compensation and appeasement.
The head eunuch shared the same sentiment and immediately agreed, saying, "This servant's life is worthless. If I die, I can be taken away and buried or thrown away somewhere. But I cannot die now."
There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. Those who were interested knew about the Seventh Prince's beating and scolding of his servants.
The other princes just smiled and stayed in the garden reading, not venturing out at all.
As evening fell, the Jia family courtyard became lively.
Lin Ruhai came over to have dinner with us. In the past few days, he hadn't had time to deal with the important matters, but he was busy with trivial things such as checking case files.
"Ruhai, you've had a tough time these past few days. You need to get some rest."
Jia Daishan was quite satisfied with this son-in-law.
Lin Ruhai stood up, bowed, and smiled:
"Thank you for your concern, Uncle. I have learned a lot and gained a lot these past few days."
These words were sincere. Lin Ruhai had learned so much from following Jia Daishan and Prime Minister Ji, things that could not be learned from books.
"Haha, we're all family now, no need for formalities, please sit down."
Jia Daishan was even more satisfied. He was neither arrogant nor impatient; he was a good prospect, and Jia Daishan had a good eye for talent.
We had just finished our meal and were about to have some tea and chat when we heard an announcement that the young prince and Situ Yi had arrived.
Everyone stood up to greet them.
They exchanged greetings.
The little prince came over and gave him a hug. He had been so bored these past two days because his grandfather wouldn't let him out. He could only stay in the courtyard with his uncle every day.
The three children huddled together, and Jia Daihua smiled as he invited Situ Yi into the house, where servants served tea.
Situ Yi sat down and smiled:
"I apologize for bothering you all."
The truth is, once my nephew heard that he could come out, he didn't want to stay in the yard for even a second longer.
"Your Highness, you're too kind."
Jia Daihua also laughed.
We're having a brief chat about the cases we've been dealing with these past few days, not going into too much detail. Everyone says we're all in the same boat, but we're also afraid of being overheard.
Jia Hu listened to his grandfathers' conversation, which was very simple and hadn't gone into much detail before they told him and his younger brother. He then stopped listening and started chatting with the young imperial grandson.
Having not seen each other for several days, Jia Hu had a lot to say, so he listened to his younger brother and the little prince's rambling conversation.
They started talking about what delicious food they ate and what fun activities they did, and somehow the conversation turned to their encounter with the Seventh Prince.
The young prince was also furious when he heard this.
"That's just how the Seventh Imperial Uncle is. You should all stay away from him, understand?"
The young prince asked the two to stand closer together.
"This afternoon, the Seventh Imperial Uncle lost his temper in the courtyard and almost beat someone to death."
"what!"
Jia Hu and Jia Zhen were both startled.
"Keep your voice down. I just heard it from someone else. He wouldn't dare to bully you. Just remember, stay away from him."
The young prince, still worried, gave further instructions.
