Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"Do you know that there might be people from the Salt Gang in Yangzhou Post?"

"Otherwise, the Salt Gang wouldn't be so well-informed that the incense in the house would have been replaced."

"Forget it! I'm too lazy to talk about it! It's boring!" After saying this, the prince felt a little disgusted with himself.

Why are you saying so much? Am I that kind? I just like to see others afraid and in pain!

The Prince of Nannan had determined a lower position for himself in his mind.

Then he ordered Wei Qi, "Just do as I said just now and join the Salt Gang!"

After saying this, he ignored Lin Ruhai and went back to the inn.

Let’s see who lives longer among us?

After a night of sound sleep, the first thing Lin Daiyu saw when she woke up was her mother.

"Mom! Why are you here so early?"

No, mother hasn't washed yet, she looks anxious and has panic in her eyes.

"Mom! What happened?" Lin Daiyu stood up immediately.

"Where are Mother Li and Mother Wang?"

She looked around and found no one in the house except the three of them.

Yongan heard the noise and rubbed his eyes and got up, calling out in a daze, "Mom!"

"Mom Li! Mom Wang, they went out to do other things. You weren't frightened last night, were you?" Jia Min asked the children with lingering fear.

Lin Ruhai left with someone last night, and she couldn't sleep anymore.

Although the guards woke up Shantou and Shuiwei.

But they would fall asleep at any time when something happened, and wake up again when nothing happened, which made her even more worried.

They have the same guards and servants, why don’t other families have these problems?

She first went next door to check on the children, who were sleeping soundly.

She ordered Shantou and Shuiwei to guard it well.

Alas! Fortunately, I listened to Rong Mama's advice and left the top of the mountain and the end of the water.

Otherwise she would be worried to death.

It was almost dawn when the master came back, and he was still very angry.

"What's going on? What happened?" I asked him, but got no answer.

As a last resort, Jia Min went to the children's room first. When she looked at the children, Daiyu just woke up.

She was afraid that her appearance would scare the child, so she hurriedly explained, "Mom is fine! There was a thief last night, and Mom just didn't sleep well!"

"What? This government-run post station doesn't have any security measures?" Lin Daiyu asked in confusion. This is too...

Do I have to bring bodyguards with me whenever I go out?

Jia Min,...I don’t know!

There was that prince last night, yes! Go ask him!

Thinking of this, Jia Min turned around and went back to wash up, and then gave Daiyu some instructions and said a few words to Yong'an.

“Take a few more people with you when you go out, and it’s best to bring both the top of the mountain and the tail of the water!”

"This Yangzhou..."

Jia Min returned to their room and the nanny and the maid brought her water.

Lin Ruhai had also packed up long ago and was standing in front of the window with a frown on his face, wondering what he was thinking about.

Hearing the footsteps of his wife coming in, he turned around.

"Madam, if Jia Lin leaves on his own, you..." Lin Ruhai originally wanted to let him go.

But it seemed like something was blocking his mouth, and no matter what he did, it would be against the way of a gentleman.

"It's up to you!" He said this and wanted to go out.

"What?" Jia Min was just about to ask the prince about what happened last night, why was he leaving?

"Why, sir? Did he want to leave, or did you send him away?"

"He's only a ten-year-old child, how can you let him leave alone?"

"Even if he said or did something wrong, we can just teach him a lesson. Besides, didn't we say that we would ruin him?"

"This child was about to leave Hanshan Temple and was beaten by his mother!" Having said this, Jia Min hurried to the basin and was about to wash up immediately.

"No! I can't let him leave on his own. At the very least, we have to hand him over to the princess, a child who is intact!"

"Madam!" Lin Ruhai didn't know how to answer when he saw his wife like this.

His ten years old are different from ordinary ten years old.

The average ten-year-old would still like to be playing in the mud.

I, Lin Ruhai, bear the heavy responsibility of an entire family. I dare not take a wrong step and must be careful in every aspect.

But this child didn't know what his duty was! He was like a sword that had been unsheathed, not knowing where to stab.

How nice it would be if you take your Yangguan Road and I take mine?

"Madame Rong! Come and wash for me!" Jia Min ignored what Lin Ruhai said.

She couldn't kick a ten-year-old out.

……

Where are the people? They really left!

Jia Min looked at the empty room.

The stone pressing on my heart suddenly ran away by itself?

"Mom! What are you doing here? Where is my cousin?" Lin Daiyu came over holding Yong'an's hand and asked in surprise.

Jia Min saw Shan Tou and Shui Wei following behind, "You two, follow me."

"Good children, wait a moment on the side. Madam Li, Madam Wang, keep an eye on the young lady and young master."

"Mom, say a few words to Shantou and Shuiwei."

Jia Min arranged the children and took Shantou and Shuiwei to a corner.

"Where is your master?"

Shantou and Shuiwei blinked and spread their hands, "Madam, isn't our master over there with Mother Li?

Jia Min clenched her handkerchief tightly and pointed at the two of them, "Don't play dumb, it's your former master!"

The innocent expressions of Shantou and Shuiwei were overflowing.

"Madam, it's unfair! Ever since we followed the young master, we have only had the young master as our master. There is no such thing as the past or the present."

"Our indentures are still with the Madam. We brothers dare not betray our master!"

"Good! Very good! Are you guys trying to be clever here?" Jia Min laughed out of anger.

"Madam! What's the matter? Tell Mammy? Did those two kids make you angry?"

"Tell me, and I'll teach them a lesson."

Rong Mama arrived in time. She claimed that Shantou and Shuiwei were her people, and if they got into trouble, she had to help them.

So I came over to help.

Jia Min looked at Madam Rong and swallowed her anger. "Madam! It's okay. It's just that the young master is missing. I'll ask them if they have seen him."

Madam Rong rolled her eyes and said, "Madam! How could she disappear?"

"He has several people around him. Maybe he doesn't want to leave with us early."

"Madam, you may not know this this morning, but I heard from some servants at the post station that a bandit came out last night."

"It is said that the garrison commander had a fight with a bandit and many people died."

As she spoke of Madam Rong, she acted terrified.

"I guess the government will have to investigate. Didn't the cousin and the garrison commander have a little friction yesterday evening?"

"That cousin is as cunning as a monkey. Don't be afraid of investigating him. I'm going to Yangzhou first."

"You don't have to look for him everywhere. Maybe he will show up by himself when we get to Yangzhou."

"Besides, those guards can lead him from the capital to Suzhou."

"Where else can't we go?"

"So you don't have to worry."

Jia Min: ...

"Is this really the reason? Am I overthinking?"

"You really shouldn't worry."

"Why should I worry about the son of my enemy? My enemies don't worry about me."
