Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"Everyone help each other."

"You can also relax a little." After Hua Zifang said this, he took out two bags of melon seeds.

Xiren, with a panicked look on her face, reached out to take the melon seeds as if unconsciously, and said to Hua Zifang,

"Brother! If you have time, please help me keep an eye on the Lin family."

"Lin family? Which Lin family?" Hua Zifang's hand that was handing over the melon seeds suddenly froze.

There was some stuttering in my mouth.

"No...it can't be the Lin family that bought the parrot last time and scolded Mingyan!"

Ever since her brother mentioned Aunt Hua, Xiren's eyebrows have been twitching.

Could Aunt Hua’s death be related to the Lin family?

Otherwise how could it be such a coincidence.

Her heart was like covered in ice and snow, with less and less warmth left in it.

"Why are you targeting the Lin family?" Hua Zifang was a little confused.

"Who are you targeting in the Lin family?"

You don’t have the ability to keep an eye on it, right?

Hua Zifang was secretly complaining in her heart.

Xiren stared at her brother, speaking slowly and slowly, with a hint of coldness in her lips.

"As long as it's unusual news about the Lin family, it's fine."

"Even if it's just a maid."

"Especially...that maid Qingwen."

"Qingwen?..." Hua Zifang just felt that the name sounded familiar.

He frowned and thought about it, but he really couldn't remember.

She was just a maid and there was nothing special about her, so he just agreed to Xiren's request without thinking.

Then he left in a hurry and ran to Shi's house.

Someone from the Hua family died, and there is not a penny left, so this cannot be done.

……

In the palace, the Lin family, who had just finished their round of mourning, were now very popular.

As soon as Lin Ruhai and Lin Yongan arrived at the palace gate, they were called away.

As soon as Jia Min entered the inner hall, groups of people came to greet her and exchange pleasantries.

But Jia Min had nothing to say. When she saw someone who looked familiar, she would ask about him.

"Do you know where the people from the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion are?"

"Ningguo Mansion's is also fine."

Many people shook their heads, and those who had some information knew about the same thing as Jia Min.

“He was taken away.”

"They are all locked up."

"Most of the palace has also been sealed off."

"I heard that some important officials were transferred to investigate."

and many more……

These are all seemingly true news.

The key point is that there were six masters from the Jia family, each of them brought four or five people, totaling twenty to thirty people.

No one saw it?

Jia Min frowned.

……

Lin Daiyu quietly squeezed Jia Min's hand and pointed her in a direction.

Jia Min looked in the direction Lin Daiyu pointed and saw the Nan'an Concubine looking at her with sparkling eyes.

There seemed to be a hint of grievance at the corner of his mouth.

Jia Min turned her head to the side, pretending not to see.

I don't want to pay any attention to her.

If there is someone who always makes you suffer in your life, just treat her as a gust of wind and let her blow away!

Jia Min lowered her head and looked somewhere else.

"Jiamin! You just can't see me? Is that so?"

"If there's one person here who can answer your question, it's me."

"Aren't you going to ask me?" Concubine Nan'an had her head wrapped in mourning cloth, and her face was pale underneath the cloth.

There even seemed to be black hair entangled under the eyelids.

It seems that I didn't sleep well.

This was Jia Min's first thought, and she was shocked.

What does it matter to you?

Jia Min said with a cold face, "Then can you please tell me where the Jia family is?"

Concubine Nan'an waved her hand and said, "Come closer, I can't hear you."

Jia Min's face showed some annoyance.

She thought of her elderly mother and took a few steps forward.

"Can you tell me now?" Jia Min asked with a green face.

"That's right!" Concubine Nan'an looked at Jia Min with a hint of amusement in her eyes and continued

"You don't have to ask around."

"After the investigation is completed, I will probably leave."

"Your niece has done something big this time. Whether she can save her life depends on what the Jia family does."

Jia Min's eyes widened as she asked in surprise, "What big thing can she do?"

Concubine Nan'an laughed playfully and said, "There are many things that palace ladies can do!"

"The harem is a woman's world." As she spoke, Concubine Nan'an leaned forward.

These words made Jia Min's heart tremble, "Concubine, could she be related to... the Queen Mother?"

Nan'an Concubine's eyes suddenly flashed with cold light.

"Jia Min, you shouldn't ask that! Even if you ask, I won't tell you."

"If it is related, what will you do?"

"You have already severed your relationship with the Jia family. What does the Jia family have to do with you?"

"It's not you who's in charge of the Jia family now, but your mother and brother."

"It's not your business. If you meddle too much, you won't end up well."

When Concubine Nan'an saw that Jia Min's face was a little embarrassed again,

I couldn't help but sigh, he is still a little petty!

She clapped her hands gently on her palms.

Turning his head, he looked at Lin Daiyu behind Jia Min.

"Is this your little daughter? She is really good. I didn't look closely at her back then."

"I heard that you and Miao'er are still good friends. Play together more often when you have time."

After saying this, without waiting for Lin Daiyu to react, she waved from behind and called her daughter, Princess Nan'an, over.

"You girls should talk more. The more you talk, the closer you will become."

"I used to be best friends with her mother."

"How can it be cut off in the next generation? Don't you think so?"

"Jiamin?"

Jia Min stared at her for a few seconds and saw that Lin Daiyu and Princess Nan'an didn't seem to have anything to talk about.

The two of them just stared at each other awkwardly.

Jia Min pulled Lin Daiyu away, and she wanted to stay as far away from Concubine Nan'an as possible.

I have been blind in this life, but I have to keep my eyes open for my daughter's whole life.

Concubine Nan'an rubbed her fingers in surprise.

Oh! You have a temper!

It’s good to have a temper!

……

"master!"

"Mother..." In a dilapidated side hall, several members of the Jia family finally gathered together.

Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Zheng in surprise.

Jia Zheng looked at his grandmother with pain.

When Jia's mother saw her son's eyes,

"What happened?" Grandmother Jia held the cane tightly in her hands.

My heart just felt trembling unsteadily.

They were originally staying in the side hall and they could see the inner hall.

I can hide away and find peace.

Unexpectedly, I was suddenly brought here in the middle of the night.

The wind is cold and the house is shabby and embarrassing.

The only consolation was that they saw Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen here.

The family was very surprised when they saw it for the first time.

Several people recounted their experiences after they separated.

But most of the time it was Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing who spoke, while Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen remained silent.

Grandmother Jia realized that Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen might have encountered something bad.

After Mrs. Xing finished telling them about their thrilling night,

I realized how cold I was.

She hugged her shoulders.

"Mom! Where is this?"

"Why is it so desolate?"

Grandmother Jia looked around and became more and more frightened.

She suddenly looked at Jia Zheng, unable to suppress the fear in her eyes.

"Second brother, this can't be..."

"The cold palace?"

Jia Zheng looked distressed, "Mother! It's the cold palace!"

Others haven't reacted yet.

Mrs. Wang jumped up like a shot arrow, took a sharp breath, and shouted,

"nonsense!"
