Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Mrs. Wang Ziteng wiped her tears with a handkerchief and explained solemnly, "It's not my fault that you didn't know. I never like visiting relatives."

"But I recognized you at the first sight. I was here when you got married."

"My husband's surname is Wang."

"My husband, Wang Ziteng."

When she heard that it was Wang Ziteng's wife, Jia Min stopped talking.

I had just been locked up and interrogated by Wang Ziteng a few days ago.

I have a bad impression of Wang Ziteng.

Now he is chatting with his wife about family matters.

It just doesn't make sense.

So she looked gloomy and remained silent.

When Mrs. Wang Ziteng saw that Jia Min did not respond, tears welled up in her eyes again and she sobbed,

"My husband went out a few days ago and never came back,"

"I'm usually like a crab without legs, I don't know where to ask for help."

"My mother's family is still far away in Jinling."

"My aunt has returned from the palace. May I know..."

Without waiting for her to say anything, Jia Min answered directly, "I don't know."

"Can you help me ask? I heard that my aunt has a good relationship with the Nan'an Palace."

Mrs. Wang Ziteng had long heard that Jia Min was easy to talk to. It might be because she had not been socializing for a long time and said things that others were unbearable to hear.

So she continued to ask persistently.

Jia Min felt a little helpless. How could she think that she had a good relationship with the Prince of Nan'an's Palace?

I can't get along with that Concubine Nan'an at all. They are completely unrelated.

This matter must be clarified, so she replied coldly,

"Madam Wang, please don't listen to rumors. I don't have a good relationship with the Nan'an Palace."

"..."

Before Jia Min could finish, Mrs. Wang, who had long since disdained her sister-in-law's behavior, immediately interrupted and said,

"If you want to help, then help. If you don't want to help, just say no."

"You are so proud of yourself when you see my Wang family lose!"

Then he turned around and glared at Mrs. Wang Ziteng.

"Sister-in-law, why bother telling her so much? What can she know?"

"I won't tell you even if I know."

"If my brother knew about this, he would probably scold you."

Madam Wang thought to herself, why none of the Wang family's descendants could hold on? It's because the wives they married were not good enough, and there were none who were worth showing off.

After hearing this, Jia Min was speechless. It seemed that if she really could help, she shouldn't do it.

Mrs. Wang Ziteng immediately showed a look of disgust on her face.

This sister-in-law is so hateful!

At this time, someone reported that someone from the Xue family had come. Aunt Xue brought Xue Baochai, and two children from her brother-in-law's family, Xue Ke and Xue Baoqin.

There was no one to meet him, he just walked in.

Take a look at the door,

The family is really neat and tidy.

Sister-in-law and sister are here.

And the atmosphere didn't look right.

Aunt Xue hurried forward to greet them. She bowed to her sister-in-law first.

Mrs. Wang Ziteng could barely conceal the disgust on her face.

It's such an unlucky day today, how come we all meet each other?

She snorted through her nose.

Then he shook his head and left.

The rest of the people looked at each other in bewilderment.

Xue Baochai and others had not had time to pay their respects to their aunt.

I was given the cold shoulder.

I only heard Mrs. Wang say, "Don't pay attention to her, she is awkward anyway."

"Unsociable."

Then he said to Aunt Xue, "Didn't you say you would come tomorrow?"

Aunt Xue looked a little unhappy.

"Don't you know when you can pick up the child?"

"I'm afraid it'll be too late."

"They left a long time ago. I don't know when they will arrive."

"But when we got to the city gate, we found they were all waiting there,"

"There are also people from Madam Xing's family."

Mrs. Xing, who was watching the fun from the side, interrupted in surprise, "From my mother's family?"

"Didn't I inform them?"

"Did Auntie say something wrong?"

Aunt Xue smiled faintly and said, "You are right."

"Now, I should go to your house first."

Mrs. Xing slapped her thigh and said "ouch", her face showing an expression of neither joy nor sorrow.

"Mom, I have to go first.

"They have never seen the world, and I'm afraid they might run into something."

"I have to go back quickly."

After saying this, he left immediately without waiting for anyone else to reply.

Mrs. Wang squeezed out a word from between her teeth, "What does it look like?"

"This is someone from my mother's family. We have immediately returned to the ancient times and all manners are gone."

At this time, Jia's mother said with an unhappy look on her face, "What are you doing here?"

"This is a funeral hall. Is there any need for proper etiquette?"

Aunt Xue's face turned pale when she heard this, and she immediately stood in front of the altar and began to cry.

Following behind him were three people from the Xue family.

Seeing this, You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hurried forward to pull the man away.

"Aunt, everyone is gone."

"Don't be sad."

Aunt Xue cried twice more before slowly stopping with sobs.

He turned around and asked Youshi, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, "Why don't you have a manager?"

"You and your mother-in-law will do it yourself?"

The Yous mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

Jia Zhen and Jia Rong both left, leaving behind a mess.

The maids and old women didn't dare to make the decision, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had to work hard.

But I can't complain today.

Because Jia Min is here.

If she finds fault with me, I will lose all my dignity today.

Xue Baochai walked up to Lady Jia and bowed.

"Don't blame me, my mother has always been too close to her relatives."

"so……"

"I apologize to you on her behalf."

Grandmother Jia was not in a good mood at this time, especially when she saw Xue Baochai's face now, which was really good.

Wearing a mourning scarf, she looks as white as snow despite the frost.

Everyone has suffered a lot during this period, but the Xue family is in high spirits.

Smart, with little need to hide.

So Jia's mother said calmly, "It is a sign of affection to see people as relatives. How can I blame you?"

Xue Baochai's expression remained gentle when she heard this. She turned around and walked back to Jia Min and Lin Daiyu.

"aunt!"

"How is Miss Lin?"

Jia Min just glanced at him indifferently, nodded, and continued to be sad.

But Lin Daiyu replied,

"It's really not as good as Sister Bao!"

Xue Baochai wanted to greet Xichun again.

Jia Xichun simply twisted her body and continued to recite the scriptures, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with her and she really felt like she was out of this world.

At this time, Mrs. Wang immediately ordered, "Go and call Tanchun and her sisters over, tell them that the sisters are here, and ask them to come out to greet them!"

Xue Baoqin, who was following behind, observed with a cold eye and found that there was actually an undercurrent here.

……

It was getting darker.

On the road from Xuanzhen Temple to Jia's house, a few white lanterns were swaying.

Walking on the road,

Take a few steps,

He knelt down and kowtowed, muttering loudly,

"Dad, come home!"

"Father, we've turned the corner."

"Grandpa! Remember the way!"

……

Apart from that, the road was completely silent.

Not even the sound of an insect could be heard.

Jia Zhen, who was standing in front of him, could hardly walk.

When using a crutch, the body has to lean on the crutch and someone needs to support it.

All that’s missing is someone to carry him.

Jia Rong was also in great pain and could not help complaining.

When he first started complaining, Jia Zhen scolded him but didn't kick him.

I guess my father won’t be able to scold me if I complain now.

So he couldn't help but say it again.

"Father, how about we ask someone to bring a sedan chair over here?"

"If we go this way, we'll lose half our lives."

"I'm fine myself. I just feel bad for you."

"This lady is too much. I have never seen such a person who is too much."

Jia Zhen just listened quietly, without saying a word.

He also wanted to be lazy, but if he did so, if someone caught him and said he was not sincere, the old man would be resentful and could not come back.

It would be even more troublesome if we had to do it again.

He secretly looked back and saw that the guy holding the lantern in front looked honest.

Just no face at all.

I always choose a detour.

There is a short way to go.

Seeing that they had reached another fork in the road, Jia Zhen thought they would have to take another detour.

Who would have thought that the fellow would take a shortcut and go down.

When Jia Zhen saw the road, he was shocked and anxious.

"Brother, you can't go over there!"
