Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"Since she entered the palace unwillingly, she deserves to die."

"Where is my daughter? Where is my Yuanchun? She entered the palace with such great admiration, but where is she now?"

"Is she still alive? You are the ones who killed her!" Mrs. Wang's questions came one after another, like the cry of a cuckoo, heartbreaking.

Grandmother Jia's heart was up and down and her head was buzzing.

She tried to argue.

"No one would have thought that Concubine Zhen, after giving birth to a child, would still..."

Before he could finish his words, the door slammed open with a bang.

"Old lady! The messenger of death is here!" Yuanyang's voice was filled with tears.

"Master Jing...is in Xuanzhen Temple."

……

“Dang…Dang…Dang” sounded like morning bells and evening drums, striking everyone’s heart.

The crying sound came out in a sobbing manner.

The top scholar of the Jia family is gone...

Grandmother Jia lay down on the bed.

Tired, she was so tired.

Take a break! Just take a break.

……

"Call the doctor..." Wang Xifeng wiped her tears and shouted.

……

"The old lady in your family is not in serious condition. She just needs to rest for a while." The old doctor said while stroking his beard after taking her pulse.

He also warned, "You are old now, so you shouldn't worry too much."

"Do you want a prescription?" Wang Xifeng asked with a frown.

She wondered in her heart, is this doctor reliable?

Why didn’t the imperial physician who usually came to treat the old lady come?

The old doctor shook his head and said,

"Just take a good rest."

"Using too much medicine will actually harm your body."

"Especially at this age, it is much more useful to listen to your body rather than the doctor, as it is sleepy when you are tired and eat when you are hungry."

So this means you won't prescribe the medicine? Wang Xifeng felt a little unsure.

After the old doctor left, she immediately asked Yuanyang,

"Where is Doctor Zhang who often treats the old lady?"

"Why did you change the person?"

Yuanyang said helplessly, "I called in sick, but actually I went to see another doctor!"

"This mansion is no longer the Duke's Mansion, so we don't need an imperial physician anymore!"

After saying this, Yuanyang felt a sour nose.

The old lady had lived a life of luxury all her life and had never suffered such hardship.

Old age is painful, old age is painful, this refers to people who are not blessed.

Why is the old lady still...

The mandarin duck's mouth drooped unconsciously.

Wang Xifeng's heart tightened when she heard this. How could the world change so quickly?

……

Grandmother Jia lay there for three whole days before she regained her spirits.

When she recovered, she asked Yuanyang,

"When will Master Jing be buried?"

"I have to see him off!"

Yuanyang couldn't help but shed tears, "The old lady was buried a long time ago."

"The imperial decree keeps everything simple."

"We searched for the coffin that day and buried him the next day."

Grandmother Jia's heart was in a mess and she felt a pain.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?" she cried out.

"He is the most promising child in the Jia family, how could this happen?"

Even if you are rich, your life is as worthless as a blade of grass!

"Hahahaha..." Grandmother Jia pounded the edge of the bed and cried.

"Where is Jia Zhen? Is he guarding the grave?"

"Let him come to see me! I want to ask him what Jia Jinglin said."

Yuanyang wiped her tears and went to tell someone to do it.

……

Grandmother Jia counted her heartbeats and waited for time.

After waiting for a long time, Jia Zhen did not come.

But then Yu-shi came with Jia Xichun.

Xichun was seen with her hair in a Taoist bun and wearing a white Taoist robe.

With a pious look on his face, he held a whisk in his hand.

Yu Shi, who was standing by, looked anxious and said to Lady Jia,

"Old lady! Are you awake?"

"Come and persuade this girl!"

"This is crazy, dressing like this every day."

"Even if it's mourning, there's no such thing as abiding by the law."

As for Jia Xichun's condition, she had already been reprimanded by Jia Zhen.

But she really couldn't argue with this fourth girl. Why were they so heartless?

If there is anyone in this mansion who can talk to her, perhaps the old lady is the only one left.

So, when the old lady heard it, she asked someone what Jia Jing said before he died.

He searched everywhere for Jia Zhen but couldn't find him.

As a last resort, Jia Xichun was called in.

But Jia Xichun seemed to be possessed by a demon.

Dressed like this all day, she looks like the second Miaoyu.

Has his soul been taken away by that witch?

Seeing Jia Xichun like this, Grandmother Jia felt sad.

She reached out her hand, wanting to hold Xichun's hand.

But Jia Xichun just bowed, did not extend her hand in response, and did not speak any more.

"Fourth girl, tell the old ancestor, who told you to dress like this?"

Grandmother Jia patiently asked Jia Xichun,

Xichun said calmly, "Grandfather, no one told me to dress like this."

"I just feel at peace this way, without all the confusion and anxiety."

"Are you anxious? You are so young, how can you have such thoughts?"

"Don't let your imagination run wild!" Yu Shi interrupted anxiously.

But Jia Xichun ignored her.

He just looked at Lady Jia.

A warm expression appeared on Jia's face.

"Fourth girl, can you talk to the old ancestor about what you are worried about?"

There was a hint of sadness in Jia Xichun's tone.

"Ancestor, is it a crime to be a woman?"

"What do you mean?" Grandmother Jia and Youshi were surprised.

"You are a rich lady, precious and noble, what crime have you committed?" Yu replied immediately.

Jia Xichun smiled coldly.

"In that case, if my father can do it, why can't I?"

"I don't want you to just point to someone and have children with them."

"I can't stand it either."

"I just want to live a clean life."

"Old Ancestor, listen, listen, this guy has been with Miaoyu all day and has gone insane."

Youshi pointed at Jia Xichun, not knowing what to do.

Grandmother Jia glared at her and said, "You are her sister-in-law, how can you talk like that?"

"She just lost her loved ones suddenly and her mind is in turmoil. It will be fine once she gets over it."

"Besides, she is now in Xiaozhong, living in the Grand View Garden. Who would know?"

"How can you be so noisy and fussy?"

After Jia's mother finished speaking, Youshi looked at her in surprise, "Grandmother, don't you know?"

"The master has notified us that the Grand View Garden will be closed within the next few days."

"It is said that the Jia family started to go downhill since they started to build the Grand View Garden."

"Everyone knows the queen's situation now."

“So there’s no point in keeping it.”

"It only adds to the sadness!"

Grandmother Jia looked dazed.

My hand unconsciously reached for the crutch, but it was empty.

She glanced at the mandarin duck blankly.

The mandarin ducks were also staring out the window in a daze.

Grandmother Jia did not disturb her, but asked worriedly,

"Is there any news about the Empress now?"

Yu's eyes flickered.

"Grandfather, you don't have to worry about this."

"Second Aunt asks people about it every day!"

"I heard that she went to the Lin family several times!"

"Go to the Lin family?" Jia's mother frowned and asked.

"What are you going to do at the Lin family?"

Yu suddenly regretted saying too much. She avoided the topic and said something else.

Said to Lady Jia,

"I don't know either. Can you ask Second Aunt later, Grandpa?"

Grandmother Jia was somewhat bewildered. Lady Wang went to the Lin family! She hated Jia Min to the core.

What are you going there for?

So she immediately called Yuanyang,

"Yuanyang? Go and help me call the Second Madam over!"
