Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Daiyu nuzzled into Gu Ma's arms and coaxed her with a smile, "Ma'am, I promise I won't keep secrets from you anymore. I'll discuss everything with you!"

"Don't be so playful with me!" Gu Mama's face, which had just become bright, darkened again, and she pretended to be angry and said, "Tell me the truth, what did you do in Shenyu Pavilion!"

"I didn't do anything..." Daiyu clasped her fingers together, trying hard to recall what she saw and heard that night.

The picture of the benevolent lady appeared in Daiyu's mind again. She looked at Gu Mama with a sad face, and Gu Mama's expression became serious: "You didn't take anything casually, did you?"

"No, no." Daiyu waved her hands repeatedly. She was embarrassed to say that she was afraid of the portrait. She explained, "I passed by Shenyu Pavilion before and mistook it for a restaurant. It was Sister Yingchun who told me that it was where the royal teachings and records were stored. I was curious and went in to take a look. Then I found a box behind the plaque of Shenyu Pavilion, which contained a scroll that looked like it was made of brocade..."

When Gu Mama heard this, she was moved and thought of her guesses over the past few years. She interrupted Daiyu and said, "You brought it back?"

Daiyu immediately denied it, and said with a look of fear: "How could it be! That was obviously something that would cost me my head, how could I be so stupid as to bring it back! I stuffed it back and threw it to the soldiers."

She now remembered that she had not even dared to check the contents recorded that night because she was afraid of the creepy portrait.

Gu Ma patted Daiyu's hand and said, "Fortunately you didn't take that thing with you, otherwise those Jinyiwei would have turned the entire capital upside down. It's not like what they are doing now, just pretending!"

"Mammy, what on earth is that?" Daiyu was so frightened that goose bumps stood up all over her body.

She wanted to gain the credit of being a dragon follower, but that was a matter for the future, and she didn't think of showing up now!

Gu Mama's eyes became secretive and her voice became extremely soft: "I used to work in the Shanggong Bureau. Although I was responsible for managing the documents of the harem and conveying the imperial edicts of the inner palace, I also had some friendship with those people who drafted and conveyed the imperial edicts of the previous dynasty.

I have vaguely heard someone mention that when the emperor was in power, he left behind an imperial edict that was related to the former Prince Yi Zhong. But the emperor never found the edict, and the emperor never mentioned it as if it had never happened.

"Is it impossible that the retired emperor has it with him? If the emperor really wants to find the imperial edict, it shouldn't be difficult!" Daiyu felt that if this happened to her, she would definitely throw it directly into the system warehouse.

Nanny Gu glanced at Daiyu and said calmly, "Do you think His Majesty has never thought of sending someone to look for her? There are too many people who have disappeared silently in this palace for various reasons."

Daiyu suddenly felt a chill coming over her, and she involuntarily took two steps towards Gu Mama: "Mama, in broad daylight, can we not talk about such scary topics?"

Seeing Daiyu's cowardly appearance, Gu Mama felt that she had been frightened by her words before, and couldn't help laughing: "With your guts, you still want to do something that will cost you your life!"

"No wonder Wang Tingyu appeared there!"

Daiyu was very upset, thinking that Wang Tingyu had gotten a great deal this time, but she couldn't come to him. When she thought of this, she was so angry that her face turned red.

Seeing this, Nanny Gu asked, "What were you mumbling about just now?"

Daiyu calmed down and asked, "Madam, do you still remember the Lord Wang who delivered the decree when the emperor gave you and Madam Liao to me?"

"Of course I remember. Didn't you go to peek at him picking up the bride today?" Nanny Gu stared at Daiyu, wanting to hear what she could come up with.

Daiyu felt guilty for a second and asked tentatively, "How did you guess that, Mammy?"

"Is this kind of thing difficult?" Grandma Gu said lightly.

Daiyu didn't dare to say anything, secretly curling her lips in her heart, if the IQ of the ancients was as high as that of Gu Mama, how could she survive as a time traveler? She would probably have been seen through by others and arrested and all her points taken away...

She carefully observed Gu Ma's expression. Seeing that she didn't look angry, she plucked up her courage and said, "I went to Shen Yu Pavilion... just to take a look around, and saw Lord Wang there. I heard that he was promoted again recently, so I guessed that he might have submitted the secret decree."

There was a hint of appreciation in Nanny Gu's eyes.

She never wavered between Daiyu and Xue Baochai. Although there were reasons for this, such as the imperial edict and her own unwillingness to enter the palace, it was more because she liked Daiyu more.

At the beginning, she had also thought that if the family rewarded by the emperor was not the one she liked, she would restrain her edge and behave more mediocrely so as not to tarnish her reputation in the palace.

But she didn't expect that the emperor would give her such a surprise.

A smile spread across her face as she said, "You're quite quick-witted! If this happens, I'm afraid that Lord Wang will have a hard time in the future."

After being reminded by Gu Mama, Daiyu understood immediately: "You mean the emperor?"

"Yes, the emperor has been in office for many years, and his control over the court has not weakened over the years. The emperor's move has put Lord Wang in the spotlight. It depends on whether he has the ability to create a world in such a situation." Nanny Gu looked at Daiyu's thoughtful expression and asked, "Why, do you want to inform your sister Yingchun?"

Daiyu didn't have this idea, but she felt a little embarrassed to be misunderstood by Gu Mama: "Mama, you misunderstood. I can still distinguish the inside from the outside."

"Fortunately, your sister Yingchun didn't do anything to bring shame to the family, otherwise you might be implicated too!"

Daiyu argued, "Mammy, you can't say that. Isn't the reputation of the male members of the Jia family bad enough?"

Gu Mama sighed, pulled Daiyu to sit on the bed, and said earnestly: "Even if a man behaves absurdly, people will only say that he is a 'young and romantic'. But it's different for women. As long as there is one woman in the family who behaves improperly, all the women in the mansion will be ashamed. If you want to blame someone, blame this era. We didn't catch up with a good time!"

Daiyu's eyes widened when she heard this, and she looked at Gu Mama in surprise. She didn't expect that Gu Mama's thinking was so advanced and she could have such insights.

Gu Mama seemed to see her surprise and explained: "I once read the records of the Tang Dynasty in the palace. At that time, noble women could go out freely on the streets without wearing veils. They only needed to wear veils and hats, and they didn't even have to cover their faces. It's not like now, unless they are going out to visit guests or are accompanied by their elders, they will not go out."

"That's right!" Daiyu understood this deeply and nodded in agreement.
