Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"It's a good idea, but Miaoyu is abominable. She keeps trying to figure out her identity. I'm afraid she won't cooperate."

"It's as hard as climbing to heaven to invite her once."

Mrs. Wang said in distress that ever since Miaoyu had divined with the spirit writing last time, the door of the Rongcui Temple had not even been opened.

Xue Baochai smiled knowingly, "Aunt, this time we should let the old lady come forward."

"The gift from the Emperor has been lost. This is a major event in the palace."

"Everyone should contribute their best efforts."

"And they've searched everywhere. Has Longcui Temple not been searched yet?"

"It's not my place to say this, aunt. My Hengwu Garden hasn't been searched either." Xue Baochai felt a little embarrassed when she said this.

When Mrs. Wang looked at Xue Baochai acting like a little girl, she suddenly felt that the children had really grown up.

"Good boy, don't I believe you?"

"But my Baoyu has found out that Qingwen is in trouble now. I am afraid that others will say something about it. It is time to move out."

"I'm still worried about where to put it."

Aunt Xue was stunned. "Sister, I don't think you need to be so nervous right now. Isn't it just a sick girl?"

"If you rush to move people now, people will misunderstand you and think you have found something extraordinary."

“It’s not beautiful.”

Aunt Xue's words almost made Mrs. Wang break out in a cold sweat.

Why didn’t I think of this?

"Sister is right. We should wait until the storm has passed before we talk about relocation."

"My hasty temper almost caused me to lose my child."

At this point, Mrs. Wang liked Xue Baochai more and more. If Baoyu married Baochai, there would be no worries for the Jia family.

Inside the room, the air is filled with sandalwood, and outside the window, the shadows of the trees are swaying.

Mrs. Wang and her sister sat opposite each other, while Baochai stood quietly beside them. They were quiet and gentle, just like a family.

She had made up her mind, and then she stood up and said:

"It just so happens that I still have some time now. I will go to the old lady and ask her to open the door of Longcui Temple."

"As long as Miaoyu agrees to the spirit writing, we will make her right, no matter if she is right or wrong."

"When my reputation spreads, I'll perform at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet."

"This Miaoyu will also become the number one nun!"

"I hope she will remember the kindness of the mansion when the time comes."

"It's better not to be ungrateful!"

Having said this, Mrs. Wang felt that she had won the game and felt relaxed all over.

He was about to go to Lady Jia, swinging the Buddhist beads in his hand.

Aunt Xue and Baochai looked at each other and smiled. Knowing that Mrs. Wang had made up her mind, they said no more and stood up to say goodbye together.

Aunt Xue and Baochai turned slowly back and went to Hengwu Garden.

……

As soon as Mrs. Wang arrived at Lady Jia's door, she saw several maids and old women standing far away.

He tilted his ear furtively as if listening to the sound inside.

Mrs. Wang coughed twice, and the maid was so scared that she trembled.

Madam Wang asked sternly, "What are you doing? You are so unruly?"

"Where's the mandarin duck?"

"Why aren't you serving inside?"

Seeing the little maids shrinking back in fear, a maid stepped forward and whispered to Mrs. Wang,

"The mandarin duck is in there!"

"The master came here to beg Yuanyang, but he was called in and scolded!"

Mrs. Wang was stunned and hadn't reacted at all. "What do you want Yuanyang to do for you?"

"Did Yuanyang steal something?"

The old woman covered her mouth secretly and said, "What's the reason? I want to marry Yuanyang as my concubine."

"Yuanyang disagreed and cut off all her hair, saying she would jump into the well if she was forced any further."

Mrs. Wang looked at the mother-in-law's gloating expression and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Ridiculous! It's shameless for a master to come and tell such a thing himself."

"Where is Mrs. Xing?" Mrs. Wang was a little surprised. Isn't this the kind of thing that Mrs. Xing likes to talk about the most?

The old woman covered her mouth with her hands to stifle her laughter and said, "They said that Madam Xing disappeared? And then the eldest master got scratched on the face. It must have been Madam Xing who did it."

Mrs. Wang's perception was overturned, and she began to look at Mrs. Xing with a new respect.

Is this Mrs. Xing's uprising?

Mrs. Wang didn't dare to go in. She stood in the yard, unable to go in or out.

Just then, Amber came over hurriedly with two people.

Mrs. Wang looked and saw that it was Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng.

The two of them glanced at Mrs. Wang, and Wang Xifeng stepped forward and bowed.

"My aunt was also called over to help mediate?"

Mrs. Wang's face froze for a moment. Could it be that Mrs. Xing had hidden with Wang Xifeng?

She nodded and followed the two into Lady Jia's room.

As soon as I entered, I heard a loud shout, "You are so brave, you run so fast, where can you run to?"

When Jia She saw Mrs. Xing coming back, he was furious.

This woman is crazy. I asked her to come over and plead for Yuanyang to be my concubine.

Unexpectedly, she was stimulated by something and said that she was the most worthless lady and could not care less.

Just deal with the money.

I was so angry that I cursed her a few times, and then this crazy woman started to attack me.

He left two bloody marks and ran away.

After hearing Jia She's curse, Mrs. Xing stood quietly in the back, pretending to be very virtuous.

"You bastard! Do you still have any dignity left?" Grandmother Jia was furious.

Ridiculous! Ridiculous.

I never thought that I would have to witness such a ridiculous thing when I am old.

"Boss! Let me tell you again, I have asked about this matter, and Yuanyang disagrees."

"Let's just forget about it." Grandmother Jia was furious.

"Mother, you can't say that. We talked it over before we went to the Lin family, and you agreed to it. I did a great job."

"Promise me a favor."

"Why can't I just have a maid?"

"How many maids did you give Baoyu? Can a son be inferior to a grandson?"

"Besides, you can't ask, I have to ask, Yuanyang is old enough, it's her blessing that I like her, don't you want to be the master, must she be paired with a servant?"

After Jia She finished speaking, he glared at Madam Xing angrily and said, "I'll settle the score with you when I get back!"

Mrs. Xing shuddered with fear.

She didn't care whether it was appropriate or not, and knelt down in front of Lady Jia.

"Mother, I don't dare go back. Please take me in."

"I will serve my mother here from now on."

"If I go back, the master will beat me to death."

After saying this, Mrs. Xing covered her face and cried. She had given up. Anyway, whoever wanted to be a lady with no money and no status could do so.

She only gets a few taels of monthly salary every month, which is not even as much as a favored maid. Although the monthly salary is small, the rewards are many.

If she was not proactive in arranging a concubine for him, she would be beaten and scolded.

Now I have come to terms with it. Even if I endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, I will still be looked down upon and stepped on by others.

How can I divorce you at this age? I have no children, no status, and I still need to make more money.

I only do things that are worth the money I have, and not a penny more.

Pay for what you ask me to do!

Jia She's eyes widened. The soft persimmon now had thorns. This was outrageous.

He raised his leg and was about to kick someone again.

Grandmother Jia shouted angrily, "How dare you!"

Grandmother Jia was so angry at her shameless son that she was fuming and trembling all over.

I don't ask about my personal maid, so how can you, a man, ask about it?

You have no shame, so how can I have any shame?

If your maid lets a man ask her about it casually, what's the difference between that and coercion?

If Yuanyang agrees, I have nothing to say, but I have asked her and she would rather die than agree.

Looking at the people in the room, Grandmother Jia suddenly felt sad.

My temples were throbbing so hard that I felt dizzy.

A wave of nausea washed over me.

She couldn't stand steadily and leaned backwards. Behind her, Yuanyang was standing in a daze with his messy hair.

Suddenly, a dark shadow came over and Grandmother Jia fell down.

Yuanyang reached out and supported Jia's mother, panicking.

"old lady……"

"Mother,……

"grandmother,……"

Grandmother Jia fell ill with a cold, overwork, and her old age made her unable to bear the stress.

The doctor examined me and said I should rest quietly and not get angry anymore.

Otherwise your life may be in danger.

Jia She didn't dare to say anything. If he continued to make a fuss, people throughout the mansion would say that he had made his mother sick.

This crime is not a light one.

Mrs. Xing and Yuanyang naturally stayed at Lady Jia's place to take care of her.

Jia She was so angry that he flew into a rage in his own yard, kicking and smashing some objects.

He even found an excuse to scold Jia Lian and asked him to inform the Lin family.

"Go back to the Lin family and let Jia Min take care of you!"

It’s Jia Min who is angry too!
