Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 197 Jia Tanchun's Anger

"Second grandma is here! Grandma is finally here!"

At the door of Jia Tanchunqiushuangzhai, the old woman who was staying there shouted with joy when she saw Wang Xifeng, finally seeing hope.

When Jia Tanchun heard the maids' shouting, she put down the book in her hand.

Standing up slowly,

It’s ridiculous that I waited for a long time to be examined. Is there such a sad thing in the world?

She saw that Wang Xifeng had a tense face and no smile at all.

This really became the patrol mountain Tai Sui.

She had no choice but to go up to her and called out, "Second sister-in-law."

Wang Xifeng raised her eyes and glanced at the boxes lined up in the room.

He sighed, feeling a little sorry for Jia Tanchun.

"Third Miss, you shouldn't be the one to take the lead in this matter."

Jia Tanchun's lips curled up into a cold smile, "Second sister-in-law, what you said is that you are standing on a high bank and can't splash water."

"If I don't step forward, should I wait for the second girl to step forward, or the fourth girl to step forward?"

"Who isn't an awkward person here?"

"They are all rich ladies in the mansion, but they are just parrots kept in the garden!"

"Which one is of respectable status?"

"If there was a man of respectable status, there wouldn't be a few filthy women showing off here."

Jia Tanchun swept away a group of people with her arrogance and force.

Wang Xifeng couldn't help but frown, she knew that what Jia Tanchun said made sense.

Yingchun in the Grand View Garden is a fool, born out of wedlock, and both her father and stepmother are unreliable.

Xichun is from the Ning Mansion. Her mother died long ago and her father is devoted to practicing Taoism and has become a monk.

Brother, it’s better not to have a sister-in-law than to have one.

They are all honored guests in the mansion, but their situation is so difficult.

Only Jia Baoyu is a treasure, held in the palm of the hand.

But only his was found to have problems, no wonder my aunt was angry.

"Well, I won't argue with you. Just be careful and close the boxes!"

"I've checked. There's nothing dirty here, Miss San."

"Let's go to the second girl."

After saying this, Wang Xifeng left with the maids.

Jia Tanchun watched the backs of everyone leaving, then looked at the messy yard, her heart filled with sadness and humiliation, and her tears finally flowed uncontrollably.

At this moment, she thought of Lin Daiyu's unrestrained and ostentatious behavior, and felt extremely envious.

Wang Xifeng took people to visit Jia Yingchun and Jia Xichun.

It was just a perfunctory job, just to get the job done, so naturally nothing could be found out.

She didn't want to find out anything. Even though her aunt might scold her, it was better than finding out something and bringing shame to all the girls in the mansion.

But she also privately instructed Yingchun and Xichun to check carefully themselves and not let anyone catch her and harm themselves.

And he told their maids that Qingwen had been driven out.

She is Baoyu's favorite. If you have problems here, you will be worse off than Qingwen.

Everyone in the Grand View Garden knew Qingwen, so naturally they were all sighing.

Even if they had some ulterior motives, they would still be scared and hide themselves quickly, waiting for the right opportunity to destroy it.

At this point, the search of the Grand View Garden came to a temporary end.

The most miserable is Yihongyuan.

Jia Baoyu looked at the maid kneeling on the ground and asked blankly,

"It's so cold today, I guess you didn't take Qingwen's clothes with you!"

"Help her pack it up, along with her other things."

"Take the opportunity to send it to her!"

Others dared not speak. Xiren was applying a handkerchief to her eyes.

When she heard Jia Baoyu asking Qingwen to deliver the gift, she shuddered with fear and tried to dissuade him,

"Second Master, you can't do that. Madam is very angry."

"If I send it now, it will anger Madam, and she will vent her anger on Qingwen again."

"After these few days, we will naturally send it to her."

"It's not in vain for us."

Jia Baoyu murmured to himself, "Why her? Why did Madam say she was ill?"

"Who among you knows the reason?"

The other maids didn't know how to answer. Xiren thought for a moment and said, "Second Master, I think she gave birth to a very good child."

"Everyone in the Grand View Garden knows her, and she is also very clever. It is possible that Madam used her as a raft to kill chickens and scare monkeys."

"In addition, a blood-stained handkerchief was found, so the lady said she was ill."

Xiren seemed to find it difficult to say these words, and it was particularly difficult for her to speak them.

"If you really can't bear to let her go, after a few days, you can ask the old lady to see if she can be selected again."

After hearing these explanations, Jia Baoyu found them to be reasonable.

"You are right. I will see if the old ancestor is free tomorrow."

"I went to ask her to select Qingwen."

"She has never suffered any hardship before. I don't know how she will cry."

Xiren secretly curled her lips.

They were all bought in. Who is the one who has never suffered?

Those who have never suffered and are pampered at home, even if they are from a small family, who would be willing to sell themselves to others as slaves?

But this cannot be said out loud.

……

Grandmother Jia was personally in charge of the matter in the flower hall and actually found some flaws.

There were those who embezzled money, those who made false reports, and those who falsified accounts. There were all kinds of things, and the total amount of money spent was not a small amount.

Although it was not found out who specifically let the Lin family get the detailed accounts through any means.

But I think that by plugging these loopholes, I can be more flexible with money in the future.

Grandmother Jia's spirits began to improve.

At this time, she saw Mrs. Wang, who had gone to the Grand View Garden, coming back with an unhappy look on her face.

Grandmother Jia's heart tightened. Could it be that there was really a problem there?

Before I could ask, Mrs. Wang took the initiative to explain.

"Mother, evidence of Qingwen's illness was found in Baoyu's Yihong Courtyard in the Grand View Garden."

"My daughter was suffering from tuberculosis, but she pretended not to report it."

"I took it upon myself to drive her out."

When Grandmother Jia heard that it was not a problem between Baoyu and Sanchun, she felt relieved.

Then he frowned and said, "I have always thought Qingwen was good. She is pretty and clever. I was hoping she could be Baoyu's concubine."

"I didn't expect that he would be a loser and unlucky person."

"Just chase him away! I'll just tell Madam Lai about it later."

Having said this, Grandmother Jia looked at Mrs. Wang meaningfully.

Seeing that Madam Wang's expression remained unchanged,

Out of so many people, only Qingwen was found. I hope I am just overthinking it and it is all just a coincidence.

……

Although the search of the Jia family was carried out secretly, the maids and old women formed their own network of relationships.

The news spread from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, and after a few days, it finally reached Lin Daiyu's ears.

One day, when Lin Daiyu was washing up, she saw that Zijuan's face seemed to have traces of tears, and the dark circles under her eyes could not be covered even with powder.

She asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep well?"

Zijuan hurriedly shook her head, "No, Miss, I'm fine."

After saying this, he continued to pack up Lin Daiyu's dressing table, but he was a little distracted and kept putting things in the wrong places.

"Just tell me what's going on. I hope you won't lie to me."

"Although you are my maids, I have never considered you as slaves."

At this point, Lin Daiyu glanced at Zijuan.

I saw her eyelids twitching, obviously something was wrong.

"Did something happen to your family in the Jia Mansion?"

Lin Daiyu asked tentatively,

Zijuan swallowed and said hesitantly, "Miss, no, Qingwen is in trouble. She is dying."

Lin Daiyu was shocked when she heard this. "That shouldn't be the case! What happened to her?"
