After hearing my inner thoughts, the ancestors in the Dream of the Red Chamber went berserk.

Chapter 160 The Zhen Family of Jiangnan

"The Zhen family, huh?" Jia Daishan thought to himself. This family was no ordinary family. In the palace of the retired emperor, there was a Consort Zhen who became like a deputy empress after the empress passed away.

This Consort Zhen also supported the Emperor's ascension to the throne that year, which is why the Emperor twice had the Zhen family receive him during his southern tours, thus giving the Zhen family honor.

The current mother of the Eighth Prince, Consort Zhen, also comes from the Zhen family.

Zhang Heming thought about it, but became even more worried about why Hu'er was specifically mentioned.

The Crown Prince smiled helplessly:

"It must be because of me that I have implicated Hu'er."

Then she recounted what she had said to the Emperor after returning to the palace that day.

"Duke Rongguo, Grand Tutor, it is my fault."

Jia Daishan shook his head and said:

"Is this your fault? These things shouldn't have been able to be hidden from the Emperor anyway."

Rather than arousing the Emperor's suspicion and wariness, you might as well just tell him directly.

Zhang Heming laughed:

"I was wondering why I felt your relationship with the Emperor had become much more harmonious?"

So that's what happened that day. You listened to what Hu'er said; that's good.

Jia Daihua was not present that day and did not know the specifics of what had happened.

Upon hearing that it was related to his grandson, he wasn't surprised. Hu'er was capable of doing this; Hu'er was indeed talented.

Jia Daishan smiled and said:

"That's good. Hu'er can't keep hiding and not going out forever, nor can she do nothing in the future."

Now that the Emperor has seen it, his curiosity will be lessened.

Zhang Heming nodded.

"If the Zhen family really has problems, then that trip must have been anything but peaceful. The Emperor also sent so many ministers, along with their grandsons."

Zhang Heming was somewhat worried. He didn't need to go, but his grandson, as the emperor's grandson's study companion, would have to go with him this time.

He was genuinely worried because both of his grandsons were going there, and the situation in Jiangnan was unclear.

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince frowned; he too was somewhat uneasy.

My own son has never been away from me for so long.

Jia Daihua laughed and said:

"Don't worry, my second brother and I are here together!"

Besides, since the Emperor dared to bring them, he must be confident. As for the children, there's even less to worry about.

The Jia family's guards only need to keep an eye on the children.

"Your Highness, the Emperor should have made arrangements for the Imperial Grandson, shouldn't he? He should also have secret guards."

The crown prince nodded.

"My father has been making arrangements for Minghe."

Zhang Heming felt a little more at ease. With his in-laws and Hu'er around, he felt much more at ease.

In other families, everyone else has their own grandfather to lead them, but he, as the grandson, is all alone.

His own son was to assist the crown prince and could not go, and he also had to stay in the capital to assist him, so he couldn't go either.

Jia Daishan understood his in-laws' feelings very well.

"Don't worry, your older brother and I are here."

The Crown Prince also spoke up to comfort him, saying, "Grand Tutor, don't worry. I'll go back and think of a way to have my twelfth brother come along."

With the Jia family and the twelfth prince around, Zhang Heming felt at ease. However, he still needed to give his grandson some more instructions when he returned.

Having said that, Zhang Heming was relieved about his grandsons' situation and then inquired about the Jia family's handling of the servants.

At this point, there were no outsiders present; everyone was in the same boat, bound by a shared relationship, so there was nothing to hide.

Jia Daishan recounted the events, and because the Crown Prince was unable to hear Hua Hu'er's inner thoughts.

For Hu'er's sake, Jia Daishan used his wife's excuse to deceive Hu'er about how he discovered the truth.
