In A Dream of Red Mansions, why was Jia finally robbed?

First of all, Jia's property was robbed for two direct reasons. First, after Yuan Fei's death, there were no insiders in the harem, and second, because Neil exposed the bad things that Jia Fu had done in the past, such as Wang Xifeng's usury, Jia Lian's remarriage to Second Sister You, You Sanjie's suicide, Jia Zhen's gambling, Jia's forgiveness for killing stone idiots and so on. The most important thing is that the backbone of the palace is gone.

Jia Fu also experienced ups and downs. Jia She, Jia Zhen and others have always been arrogant and bullied the people. Li participated in Jia She's collusion with foreign ministers, and Jia Zhen lured aristocratic men to gamble and took women as concubines, which eventually led to their downfall. The descendants of the Jia family are all playboys and black sheep. They only know pleasure all day long, and no one knows that Jia is planning for the future.
