Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"Zijuan, don't worry. With this thing here, your family will be fine." Lin Daiyu weighed the handkerchief wrapped in the jade pendant in her hand and comforted Zijuan.

Zijuan was not particularly worried. Since the young lady even saved Qingwen's cousin and his wife, her own family would certainly not give up.

Yongyi, who was standing by, watched Lin Daiyu and Zijuan whispering to each other again, and couldn't help but ask, "What are we doing here?"

"I heard that you guys were very powerful yesterday. You beat the Jia family to pieces, is that right?"

"It's a pity that you didn't inform me of such a good thing."

"Don't you believe in my fighting ability?"

"Of course we come here to reminisce, or to put it simply, to have a look." Lin Daiyu said, "Aren't you interested in this place?"

"Don't you regret not coming?"

"I'm not interested in this at all." Lin Yongyi retorted subconsciously, and then seemed to see something more interesting, and shouted:

"Good fellow! This is going to plow the land three feet deep."

Lin Daiyu and others then looked forward, and sure enough, there were about ten people lined up in front of them, some holding brooms and some holding shovels.

They first swept away the dust carefully, then bent down and searched every inch, leaving no corner untouched.

Occasionally someone would shout, "There's a hole here."

Then several people gathered around and started digging with shovels.

It was winter now and the ground was frozen.

The difficulty of digging can be imagined. Everyone was so tired that sweat broke out on their foreheads, but they were still very excited.

Continuous hope, continuous disappointment.

Yongyi was very curious and asked, "Brother, are there tomb robbers here?"

The brothers who were working looked at this idiot and were about to curse him.

But when he looked up, he saw Lin Daiyu and Yong'an.

A group of people exchanged glances with each other.

"Is the Lin family here to pick up the spoils?"

They are more motivated.

The Lin family members were seen walking, stopping, and looking around, as if they were searching for treasure.

Soon, a leader came to stop them.

"Ms. Lin, Mr. Lin, this is the Jia family's territory. The two families have severed their relationship, and the Lin family is not welcome here."

"We are all servants, please be considerate. It would be bad if we report it to Sister Zhou."

Yongyi said in confusion, "Brother, this place is twenty feet away from the Jia family's gate."

"This is a public road. It doesn't belong to the Jia family, right?"

The leader looked embarrassed, but he had no choice but to expand the search area, and ended up here.

In the past, everyone could leave freely, but today it is not allowed, at least not the Lin family.

Lin Daiyu chuckled, "Okay, this Jia family is really interesting. They don't take the shortcut but insist on taking the long way."

"Let's go!"

Lin Daiyu thought to herself, it looks like Old Madam Ye hasn't passed the letter in yet, or maybe she has passed it in, but the masters don't believe it.

If it's too late, I'll have to rescue people by force.

What should we do with this jade?

It's a shame to give it away for free, but it's a bit painful to keep it.

No, we can’t let them drag on the time indefinitely. We have to set a time limit for Old Ye’s mother.

The spell to tighten the hoop had to be recited to them.

Thinking of this, she ordered a guard to deliver a message to Old Ye Ma, saying:

"The time is today. If I don't see him tomorrow morning, I will kill him."

The guard shuddered. What kind of words were these? Which young lady could be so domineering?

Thinking of this, the guard did not dare to delay and hurried forward to pass on the message.

……

"What did you say? Lin Daiyu went to the scene again? And she even threatened Mingyanniang."

"Tearing the ticket? Where did the ticket come from? Isn't it just to scare people?" Xue Baochai said to Ying'er while looking at the flickering lights in front of them.

I sighed in my heart:

Time passed so quickly, and night fell in the blink of an eye.

Gang Ying'er hurriedly asked someone to call her out, and when she came back she told her about it.

Xue Baochai thought to herself that Lin Daiyu could no longer hold back. Could it be that Mrs. Zhou Rui was really close to the place she saw?

It’s a pity that I can’t go out, otherwise...

With my keen eyesight, I might be able to spot some clues, but what can some servants see?

"Miss, what should we do? Mingyan's mother is very anxious. She is afraid that Miss Lin will hurt Mingyan." Ying'er continued.

Xue Baochai answered calmly, "Tell her not to worry. Isn't there still one night left?"

"Does she not believe me? If she doesn't believe me, she can figure it out on her own."

Ying'er was stunned for a moment, "Miss, are we going to see the Second Madam tonight?"

Xue Baochai glanced at her sideways, shook her head, and thought:

"Are you stupid? You just looked for it today, and you're still looking for it. Aren't you just making yourself uncomfortable?"

Seeing Ying'er still didn't move, she explained,

"Just tell her that. The Lin family is obviously lying."

"Mingyan didn't go home these past two days. He stayed in the Grand View Garden. How could Lin Daiyu hurt him?"

"Could it be that she can fly over eaves and walls?"

"The more impatient others are, the more we should be patient."

When Ying'er heard this, although she didn't quite understand the young lady's profound words, she had to go out and reply.

"Godmother, don't worry! Miss will definitely do what she promised you."

"Just wait patiently!"

"I have some tea leaves here, you can take some and drink it!" Ying'er said as she stuffed a small box of tea leaves into Old Ye's mother's hand.

After hearing these nonsensical words, Old Ye's mother felt even more uneasy.

Is it okay?

She walked back in a daze with the tea leaves in her hand, and it was getting dark on the road.

She came in a hurry and didn't bring a lantern, so she just walked back in the moonlight.

"Dangdang!"

Suddenly bumped into someone,

"Why don't you look where you're walking? Who are you?"

……

"Miss, when you say murder, you don't mean to do anything to Mingyan, right?" After returning to Lin Daiyu's boudoir in the Lin Mansion, Zijuan finally asked the questions that she had been holding back all the way.

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Who do you take me for?"

"I really became a female bandit who kills without blinking an eye."

"To scare the old lady." Having said this, Lin Daiyu took off the hairpin on her head.

"If it doesn't work tomorrow morning, I'll take it and go to your house myself."

"It takes both money and people."

I didn't want money for the things I found, but my hard work was treated as a waste of money.

I have to get back my mental damages.

……

The next morning, a group of people came to the Lin family's door.

The first one was Old Ye's mother, with a happy face.

Said to the concierge, "Tell your young lady that I did it. The people behind are Zijuan's family."

The doorman looked at the group of people in bewilderment, then turned around and went in to report.

Inside the Lin residence, everyone was sitting around having breakfast when they heard that Zijuan's family had arrived.

Zijuan was serving behind Lin Daiyu, with a look of surprise on her face.

Lin Daiyu smiled and said to her, "Welcome in quickly! I'll give you a day off today so you can spend some quality time with your family."

I thought to myself, old Mama Ye is really capable of doing things!

When Zijuan heard this, her face showed joy. She bowed to Lin Daiyu and left in a hurry.

Jia Min asked in confusion, "Daiyu, what's going on? Why are Zijuan's family here?"

Lin Daiyu explained with a smile, "Mother, didn't our family break up with my grandmother's family?"

"Zijuan's family was a little embarrassed, so I redeemed them all."

When Jia Min heard this, her face changed. She glanced at Lin Ruhai and said to Daiyu, "Dayu, why don't you discuss this with me?"

"I am also planning to release the indentures of some of the senior maids in our mansion."

"If there is a suitable family, you should marry. If you don't want to marry, you can go to your relatives."
