Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Nanny Gu changed the subject and said seriously, "However, this is not a reason for you to go out casually! During this period, I will let Nanny Liao teach Xue Baochai on my behalf. And you, before the Lantern Festival, you will stay under my nose!"

Not only are the city’s routines complicated, but Grandma Gu’s routines are also complicated!

Daiyu had a sad face and could only nod and agree helplessly under the majesty of Nanny Gu.

Apart from occasionally paying respects to Lady Jia, she even skipped the school on weekdays, and never went to the East Palace.

Daiyu was both happy and sad about Gu Ma's arrangement. However, she had not forgotten that she had handed over two thousand taels of silver when she went to Jia's mother's courtyard on the day of the Little New Year.

Daiyu snuggled in Grandmother Jia's arms, commanding Qinghe to take out two thousand taels of silver notes, and said to Grandmother Jia coquettishly: "Daddy said that he sent away everyone in the backyard. In the past two years, he could still send festival gifts according to the list of festival gifts drawn up by mother. But it was boring to send these things all the time, so he changed them to silver notes. Let the old ancestor buy whatever new things he likes. Ha ha ha! I say, Daddy is just trying to be lazy!"

After hearing what Daiyu said, Jia's mother smiled and showed no sign of displeasure: "How can you make up stories about your own father like this!"

Daiyu said proudly, "Father also said that the remaining one thousand taels should be kept in the public treasury as silver for my daily expenses."

"Haha, how could you need so much by yourself!" Listening to Daiyu's flattery, Grandmother Jia kept smiling, with a blush on her cheeks. It was unclear whether she was really happy or because of the charcoal brazier in the room.

Mrs. Wang was listening to their conversation from the side, her eyes constantly glancing at the banknotes in Qinghe's hand.

During this time, Mrs. Wang had been waiting for Wang Xifeng to bow her head, but she didn't expect that her belly had grown bigger again and she never mentioned the matter of being the head of the household again!

Seeing that Grandmother Jia was still chatting and laughing with Daiyu, Mrs. Wang whispered to Wang Xifeng, "Feng girl has become more virtuous recently and has taken in quite a few people."

This sentence immediately caught Daiyu's attention. She stopped talking and laughing and looked towards Mrs. Wang.

When Grandmother Jia saw Daiyu stop talking, she noticed the change in the atmosphere at Mrs. Wang's place. For a moment, the main hall gradually became quiet.

Wang Xifeng was originally upset, but when she noticed Daiyu's concerned look, she immediately adjusted her expression and put on a smile: "I'm not feeling well, and I'm worried that Second Master has worked hard, so I found a few nice people for him. Good aunt, please feel sorry for me. I really can't help you with the housekeeping."

Mrs. Wang was choked by her words and almost lost her expression. She hurriedly said, "You think too much. I just want to ask you to help me."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "This is unfortunate. I couldn't tell anyone before because it was not long ago, but now I have to tell you. Ping'er is pregnant too, and she's already ten days late for changing her clothes this month. I dare not let her serve the Second Master anymore, and the Second Master even got angry at me! I am really wronged!"

Mrs. Wang's expression didn't change much, but it became even gloomier. She glared at Wang Xifeng in dissatisfaction: "The girls are all here, and you don't know how to be more reserved."

Wang Xifeng slapped her lips and deliberately said jokingly, "I am just a ruffian who speaks without thinking. Sisters, don't listen to my nonsense, haha!"

Daiyu saw this and quickly chimed in, "Sister Ping'er is pregnant too? Now our Sister Yuan will have two brothers and sisters! When the time comes, she will look left and right, and it will be funny if she is too busy to handle it!"

Just as he finished speaking, Sister Yuan, who was held by the maid behind him, suddenly heard his name and shouted excitedly, "Brother and sister! Brother and sister!"

"Such a young child already knows how to have brothers and sisters!" Tanchun said with a smile.

Wang Xifeng gently stroked her belly with one hand and touched Yuan Jie'er's little face with the other, saying gently, "Yes, this girl is not as stupid as me. She knows how to coax people at such a young age!"

When everyone saw Sister Yuan woke up, they sat around her and started teasing her.

Daiyu stood up to make room for them and to get close to Wang Xifeng. With a smile on her face, she asked Wang Xifeng in ventriloquy, "Have you figured it out?"

Wang Xifeng nodded slightly, not letting others see her movements: "Whether it works or not is not up to me. I just let myself go."

When Daiyu saw Mrs. Wang looking at her, she smiled even more and nodded at her. She continued to say to Wang Xifeng, "That's the right way to think!"

"But the other little bitches don't even think about saving that sip of medicine!" Wang Xifeng changed her tone and said harshly.

OK! This is still the same Feng Jie!

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Qinghe handed the banknote to Caiyun. Daiyu watched Mrs. Wang's back as she walked away, a hint of deep meaning flashing in her eyes.

When she returned to Lixiangyuan, she immediately instructed Danru to inform Huang Yongjin that he could send someone to keep an eye on the movements of Zhou Rui's family.

Although Nanny Gu was strict with Daiyu's behavior during the day, she chose to turn a blind eye at night.

This was mainly because Daiyu had shown her that she could easily escape the siege of more than a dozen people with just her bare hands.

From then on, Nanny Gu was only responsible for helping Daiyu maintain her superficial reputation. As for privately, she felt that her girl deserved the best man in the world.

Daiyu was a little surprised when she heard Nanny Gu's comments. Her face turned red and she said shyly, "Not really, Nanny, please don't praise me like that. I'm young and can't bear such praise!"

After Gu Ma Ma praised Daiyu, she regretted it: "If you could restrain the smile on your face, I might still believe you!"

Daiyu straightened her body immediately, put her hands on her hips, raised her face and said, "If my father had not been forced to take several concubines, he would actually be the best man in the world!"

Nanny Gu looked around nervously and saw that they were all maids from Lixiangyuan. She then warned, "Don't tell anyone about this, not even your cousins!"

Although Daiyu agreed readily, she was complaining in her heart: If this is the case, I will only tell you and Yingchun. If other people hear it, they will definitely treat me as an alien and kick me out!

Then her eyes lit up, and she took Gu Mama's hand and begged, "Good Mama, please help me persuade my father! I'm really worried that he will marry me off to any family at random. I'm so worried!"

Gu Mama stretched out a finger, tapped Daiyu's forehead, and said with a smile: "You little rascal, you are waiting for me here, wanting me to help you!"
