Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"Who is that? They run away when they see us. They think we are a monster." Lin Daiyu and her group passed by the crowd.

An old lady with a basket saw them and was stunned at first, then she ran away.

Zijuan took a look and replied with a smile, "Miss, that's Mingyan's mother, Old Ye Ma."

"Our two families are enemies, and it looks like they are afraid of getting involved with us."

Lin Daiyu thought to herself, this is really a case of seeing enemies everywhere.

She was about to ask someone what these people were doing.

Lin Yongyi had already run to the side and started asking questions of the middle-aged woman.

Then he came back with a look of surprise, "Sister, these people say that Jia Baoyu's jade is lost, and the Jia family is offering a reward of 10,000 taels of silver.

"Whoever picks it up can exchange it for 10,000 taels of silver at the Jia family."

"Why are these people looking for jade all over the street?"

When Lin Yongyi said this, Lin Daiyu and Zijuan both opened their eyes wide.

broken!

The two of them exchanged glances secretly.

Lin Daiyu asked softly, "Did you bring the things?"

Zijuan shook her head. Who would carry that thing with them for no reason? It’s not theirs.

Lin Yongyi saw Lin Daiyu and Zijuan whispering to each other and wondered if his sister was also attracted.

This is not a good way to make money, so he continued,

"How come something you wear around your neck is lost for no reason?"

"Could it be stolen by an insider?"

"Whoever wants to go there won't be caught as a thief, right?"

Lin Daiyu thought to herself, this is really possible. If you bring a fake one with you, they might give it to you politely. If it is real, then I have to ask about the whole story.

This is a problem. How can I send the jade back?

If the two families are not at odds with each other, the mother can be sent back.

Just say you picked it up from the ground.

Who can you let go now? Will others not suspect you of having ulterior motives?

If you send it yourself, people will ask how it flew into your hood when the world is so big and there are so many people.

Let it fly again.

It is really hard to explain. In this era, people wear gold and jade items that are close to their bodies, which can easily lead to unnecessary rumors.

Although I don't care so much, it's a big loss to pick up something and get a stigma.

You can't just let someone throw it into the Jia Mansion, whoever picks it up will get a big advantage.

But if the person who found it doesn't return it, wouldn't that be unintentionally doing something bad?

Thinking of this, she turned around and asked Lin Yongyi, "Don't you want to make this fortune?"

Lin Yongyi's eyes widened, and he said righteously, "Did I make this ill-gotten gain?"

Lin Daiyu pulled Zijuan aside again and whispered, "Zijuan, we can't keep that thing in our hands forever."

"We have to find a way to send it back."

"Go get it first, we'll wait for you out front."

"It just so happens that today is the first day of the new year, and some of the masters of the Jia Mansion are not here. Let's see if we can redeem your family members."

Zijuan nodded solemnly and took two people to the Lin family to get the things.

Lin Daiyu, Yong'an and others found a tea shop nearby and prepared to sit down and rest.

Two people were left waiting at the door of the shop.

As soon as they entered, ha! What a coincidence, Old Ye's mother was also there.

It felt like Old Ye's mother had been assigned a publicity mission, as she was also talking about finding jade in the shop.

The waiter wiped the table with a towel and said,

"This jade! Someone must have picked it up now, otherwise this piece of land would have been missed by everyone."

“I haven’t found it yet.”

Another tea drinker asked, "Didn't they say that many people claimed to have found it? Have they all gone to Jia's house to check it out?"

"They were all fake and were all sent out."

"You know what, even with a real person in hand, he can still keep his composure."

"Nonsense, this thing is a hot potato now."

"I heard that the second master of the Jia family is still in a coma!"

"It's been almost a day and a night, right?" The conversation inside was getting more and more lively, the aroma of tea was steaming, and some excited tea drinkers were talking about it.

Listening to the discussion inside, Lin Daiyu and others remained calm, but Yongan asked, "Sister, why did you ask Zijuan to go back?"

Lin Daiyu answered casually, "I don't have much money, and I want to redeem her family."

"Let her go back and get the silver."

"You should have told me earlier. I have it!" Lin Yongyi said bluntly.

Lin Daiyu ignored him. She lowered her head and thought about how to repay this matter.

If there is really no other option, then it’s Mingyan’s mother, the personal servant. If she is accidentally found in some corner, she will be more convincing than others.

Thinking of this, she asked Qingwen to call Old Ye Ma. However, when the old lady saw Qingwen, she turned around and left.

Lin Daiyu had no choice but to walk up to the old lady and said viciously, "Don't run. If you run again, I'll break Mingyan's legs."

The old lady was afraid of the evildoers and dared not move.

But when she came to her senses, she bowed again and again.

“Ms. Lin, now the Madam has issued an order that anyone who has anything to do with the Lin family will be held accountable.”

When Lin Daiyu heard this, her eyes widened, "Old Ye Ma, how are Zijuan's family members?"

Old Ye's mother looked around and saw that no one else was paying attention to this side, so she whispered, "Ms. Lin, don't tell them what I said. Zijuan's family is under custody."

Lin Daiyu's eyebrows were raised, "Was this an order from the Second Madam? It's so bad, no wonder her son's jade was lost."

Old Ye's mother was frightened by Lin Daiyu's words and stepped back repeatedly.

"Miss Lin, please forgive me!"

"If you want me to forgive you, come closer." Lin Daiyu hooked her finger at Old Ye's mother.

Old Ye's mother came close to Lin Daiyu with a bitter face, and Lin Daiyu whispered a few words in her ear.

Old Ye's mother trembled all over and asked in surprise, "Are you telling the truth?"

Lin Daiyu said with great certainty, "Of course, is it useful for me to lie to an old woman like you?"

"As long as you find a way to release Zijuan's family, I can tell you where that thing is."

Old Ye's mother was excited, ten thousand taels of silver!

The white snowflakes of silver piled up into a small mountain, and maybe his son could become a free man and donate money to become an official.

It would take me several lifetimes to earn that much money with the ten or fifteen cents a month I earn.

When Lin Daiyu saw that Old Ye's mother had taken the bait, she reminded Old Ye's mother,

"Old Ye's mother, I only told you this."

"You won't tell anyone else?"

"If anyone asks me about this, I won't admit it."

"I'll even have it destroyed."

"I just said I wanted to see what Mingyan stole."

Lin Daiyu's cruelty frightened the old lady again.

Is this a female demon who gave birth to a little fairy?

The old lady nodded repeatedly, "No, I wouldn't dare to do that even if I had ten courages."

Lin Daiyu smiled and gave a final reminder, "Remember, the day Zijuan's family redeems you is the day you will make a fortune."

After saying that, he waved his hand and let her go.

The more Ye's mother thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. Since her son had picked it up, who could say anything?

The problem is how to get Zhou Ruijia to release Zijuan's family.

It means they are just keeping an eye on it, but there is no word on how to deal with it.

Should I go talk to Zhou Ruijia? I don’t have the courage to go to Mrs. Wang!

After thinking it over and over again and unable to make a decision, Old Mother Ye involuntarily returned home.

There were guests waiting at home impatiently. Ying'er's mother and Ying'er came to wish her a happy new year, but when they saw that she didn't come back, they waited at home.

"Godmother, where have you been?"

"I wanted to come earlier, but something happened to the lady, so I was a little late."

"Hurry up, hurry up, you're not here yet."

Ying'er came over with a smile and took off Old Ye Ma's basket while explaining.
