Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"She is a well-mannered person. It is inconvenient for her to live in the garden now."

“It’s not easy to avoid suspicion.”

"That's why..." Aunt Xue was naturally very satisfied when she talked about Baochai.

But seeing that Wang Xifeng seemed a little impatient, she fell silent.

His face looked a little embarrassed. It was true that Feng Yatou was very busy now and it was not the right time for him to say these things.

Moreover, Wang Xifeng's eyebrows and eyes are less gentle and more fierce.

Talking always makes people feel unapproachable.

Thinking of this, she immediately stood up and said goodbye.

"Feng girl, I'm leaving now. I see you're a little tired. You should pay more attention to rest."

Wang Xifeng smiled coldly.

"Thank you for the reminder, Auntie. I am not as smart as Sister Bao. You are right."

"I was distracted!"

After the polite words, Wang Xifeng also stood up and saw Aunt Xue off.

Only after Aunt Xue's back disappeared did Wang Xifeng snort coldly.

……

"Sister Xiren! Your brother is waiting for you at the second gate."

In the Yihong Courtyard of the Grand View Garden, Xiren was packing clothes.

There are more or less things in this room, but Master Bao doesn’t care at all now.

As soon as he came back, he went into the study to read.

He didn't even look at them.

Xiren was folding clothes while staring blankly.

The fake jade was also taken away, and I don’t know when it will be returned.

How will I explain it to the second wife when she comes back in the future?

I told Master Bao, but he didn't care at all.

All he said was, "It's a meaningless stupid thing, it's better to lose it."

Is this meant to be?

Compared to Qingwen, am I also a fool?

Just at this moment, a little maid came to report,

She said her brother was waiting for her outside.

Xiren's face changed. Did something happen at home?

She quickly packed some clothes.

He had to report to Baoyu and leave.

She walked to the door of the study and stood there.

Thinking of Jia Baoyu's cold and freezing eyes, she became timid.

She bit her lips hard and turned to tell Musk Moon and others.

I'm going to the second gate to meet my brother and will be back soon.

If the Second Master asks, just report truthfully.

As soon as Sheyue stopped what she was doing, she couldn't help but give a quick warning.

"Sister Xiren, you have to come back quickly."

"Otherwise, Master Bao won't be able to find you and will get angry, and we won't be able to handle it."

Xiren had a helpless look on her face and left in a hurry.

I didn't hear it, but there were also sounds of something falling and banging behind me.

……

As soon as Xiren arrived at the second door, she saw her brother Hua Zifang pacing back and forth at the door with his hands behind his back, waiting anxiously.

Xiren immediately stepped forward and asked,

"What's wrong? What happened at my brother's house?"

Hua Zifang looked around and saw that no one was paying attention.

"Sister, I heard someone say that something happened to the Jia family last night?"

"Is it real?"

Xiren's eyes flickered, and she took two steps towards the shadows.

"Brother! What's the matter with you?"

"This has nothing to do with you, right?"

Hua Zifang used her knuckles to press hard and said anxiously,

"How can this not matter?"

"Our business is so good because of the Jia family's support."

“If something happens to the Jia family, the first thing will be that someone will dislike us.”

When Xiren heard this, her face turned pale.

The voice was somewhat cold.

"Brother! If there is nothing else, I will go back. Master Bao can't leave me alone anyway."

Hua Zifang had a confused look on her face.

How can I tell my silly sister! I can't just keep my mind straight.

You have to be a little careful.

You have to leave yourself a backup plan.

Thinking of this, Hua Zifang suddenly had an idea.

"Sister, you have to save some money for yourself."

"If anything happens, you need money to redeem yourself!"

Hearing this, Xiren's eyes were filled with anger, "Brother means that you haven't had the money to redeem yourself in the past few years."

"From what I heard, you all earned more than several thousand taels."

"Why are you crying poor again now?"

Hua Zifang smiled bitterly, "Isn't it worth spending if I earn money?"

"My parents are taking care of me, your nephew is studying, and I have to pay for the store."

“Not everything requires money.”

"It's not that I don't have it, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to help you by then and it will delay you."

Xiren was simply amused by her brother's sophistry.

What my brother said makes sense. He sold me out because he couldn't survive that day.

In order to get a few more taels of silver, he also sold the death contract.

Now that the situation is not good, let me raise the money to redeem myself.

My brother has a very good plan!

If you look back, you can sell it again.

Hua Zifang felt a little embarrassed when she heard that, and then she explained,

"Sister, how can you say that? I'm doing this for your own good."

"It's because I support you that you can have such a smooth life."

"As soon as I got the news, I put down my business and rushed here, all for you."

"You are an honest person. Don't be so stubborn that you help others count their money after being cheated."

Xiren looked around at the people coming and going, confused.

Some could not stand any longer and were about to leave.

Just saying, I know what you said.

Anyway, I have signed a death contract. If I can't raise the money to redeem myself, or if the master won't let me go.

Just pretend you don’t have this daughter!

Hua Zifang stamped her feet in anger, "Hey! Why do you say that?"

"Why do you say that?"

"If mother knew what you said, wouldn't it hurt her?"

At this point, Hua Zifang suddenly thought of something and said,

"Oh, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you. The lady you met last time was Madam Hua from the Shi family."

"It has disappeared since then."

"People from the family went to ask several times and they said he had disappeared."

"Today they went to the historian to ask again, but they were scolded."

"And you said he was completely dead!"

"Now, the historian of our family has gone to cause trouble."

"Let me go too. I just came by to give you a heads up."

"Be careful about your own safety."

Hearing this, Hua Xiren's eyes widened and her face turned pale.

Hands tightly grasped the collar of the clothes,

She said nervously, "Brother, can the Shi family tell us how Aunt Hua died?"

Hua Zifang frowned, thought about it carefully, and shook his head.

"No, but Nanny Hua was the former wet nurse of Master Shi and has been loyal to him for many years."

"Even if he didn't make any contributions, he still worked hard. Even if he died, it's unreasonable not to give him any money for his funeral."

Seeing Xiren's face turn pale, he thought she was feeling sorry for her own kind and felt a little scared, so Hua Zifang explained,

"You don't have to be afraid. As long as I hear about what's going on with the Jia family, I'll come to pick you up at any time."

"I'm going to the Shi family right now. I'll let you know if there's any news. Just wait patiently."

After that, he took out a bag of food and said, "Try it, this is Laojin melon seeds, which is quite famous."

"I still have a few packets here, you can also share them with the sisters."
