Second Round of the Family Hierarch Evaluation, part 17 (after battle)
Shit... shit...
It... doesn't matter...
Jia Qiu, that bastard...
... he'll find you... to exact his vengeance for what happened to the Kong family...
I know more than you think, Jia Baoyu...
I know that the Kong family's annihilation... was the result of a devious machination...
Daguanyuan bastards... never knowing when they've had enough...
You talk too much.
Just like any other loser.
A loser...? I'm not - I'm not a loser...! I've never...
Don't call me a -
Daiyu...
Why did you help us?
Because lady Baochai is my mistress, not young master Pan. Besides...
I wanted to prove to him that he was wrong.
…….
Big brother Baoyu...
The Heishou are indeed hiding in every corner of Daguanyuan, but...
... not even they are omnipresent enough to know your every single word, your every action.
So how did Jia Mu come to know them with such detail?
…….
Once again, Hong Lu did not reply.
This is a special Bolus of my own design.
And it was made only thanks to your husband, who, in support of my endeavors, truly did not spare any expenses.
He told me that this project was to be a surprise for you, so feign ignorance for now.
But... do I dare receive something so valuable...?
I am giving it to you because it is valuable.
Remember, that baby you carry is an important, precious child. More deserving of adoration than anyone else. The future of your Kong family.
Jia Mu... I want to show this child of mine... a changed Hongyuan.
Imagine, a Hongyuan where people like you can thrive, against all the odds that the world has pitted against them.
... The karma of your actions shall shape the child within your womb...
So, see, hear, and claim only what is precious, and you shall beget a precious child.
If I could be just a bit greedier, I do hope my child would be born with even a fraction of your wisdom, venerable Jia Mu.
…….
…….
Baoyu, our little Baoyu, the gem of our family...
Welcome, little Baoyu.
We have waited long for your arrival.
Venerable Jia Mu...
We have... but a month left.
And we are making steady progress.
The results will be as intended.
Of course, I don't have an iota of doubt in that.
But...
Please forgive me for what I am about to say, venerable Jia Mu. But I am starting to get the picture of your... plan.
I -
I... I saw the entire procedure, the whole recipe, from the beginning to the end, Jia Mu.
You know what that means.
Have you forgotten that Daguanyuan stands firmly behind us?
Your loyalty to me is loyalty to Daguanyuan itself; do you truly believe that I, its Family Hierarch, shall abandon a loyal follower such as you?
But...
... Understood, Jia Mu...
Hm. Her heart has already fallen to the seduction of fear.
She shall not be long.
Grandma...
I'm... I'm your most precious... treasure, right?
You are, little Baoyu.
Then... tell me.
What's going to happen here in a month?
Baoyu, do you know which part of the body one must use to bring down the shameless and prideful, yet mighty family? Do you know what shall allow one to exact utter ruin, devastation, and humiliation to such a house?
You use the Head.
The plan carries a high risk, but the return shall be just as great. Once mobilized, the Head will be more thorough than anything in the world.
Xiren... what do I do now?
…….
... You're not even asking me what happened like you used to.
Because nothing will change even if I were to ask you that, young master.
Something so, so scary, so terrible's gonna happen soon...
What... should I do?
There is no need for one to question the rights and wrongs of the many things that occur here.
Would you like some tea, young master?
I…
