Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"Sister, you're back. I heard yesterday that the imperial guards took you away."

"That scared me so much, are you okay?"

"Is it my brother?"

As soon as Aunt Xue entered the small flower hall, she saw Mrs. Wang sitting there and immediately cried out in surprise.

Mrs. Wang also sat here early in the morning waiting for news.

Seeing Aunt Xue coming with Xue Baochai, he felt a little embarrassed.

Now everything has changed again, and the imperial edict must be respected now.

Seeing that Xue Baochai was very silent, there were dark circles under her eyes.

"Didn't Baoya sleep well?" Mrs. Wang asked in surprise.

Didn't answer Aunt Xue's question first.

After all, that problem is too heavy.

I had to apply a few more layers of powder to cover up the redness and swelling on my face.

Aunt Xue sighed and said,

"Sister, you don't know."

"Ying'er, Bao's personal maid, is missing."

"I have never seen him alive or dead, and you have served me for so many years."

"Bao girl is also very sentimental, who can stand it?"

"Maybe you didn't sleep well?"

Mrs. Wang was stunned when she heard this.

"Have you looked around?"

"How could a living person be lost?"

Xue Baochai bowed slightly and said with a gloomy face,

"I don't know. The night before last, she did a good job, so I rewarded her with a pearl hairpin."

"She was very happy, probably wanting to make her mother happy as well."

“So I asked for leave.”

"Who knew that when I returned, I would not see him anymore."

"I've always been familiar with her, and others can't get used to her."

"So I'm a little upset, please forgive me, aunt."

Hearing this, Madam Wang said calmly, "That means your fate has been separated."

"You don't need to be too sad."

"Just give her mother a few more taels of silver."

Aunt Xue replied immediately,

"Yes, I will give you five times the reward according to your worth in silver."

"Hey!"

At this point, Aunt Xue looked around.

"The old lady asked us to come over yesterday. What's the matter?"

"Where's the old lady?"

Mrs. Wang was puzzled when she heard this. Could it be that the old lady was talking about the marriage? It hadn't been finalized yet, so she shouldn't have said it so quickly!

At this moment, Jia's mother came back from the back hall.

He glanced at Aunt Xue and her daughter, then sat down.

"I asked them to come!"

"I just want to ask a question."

"Have you ever seen Baoyu's real jade?"

As soon as Lady Jia asked the question, the three people at the scene were all shocked.

Mrs. Wang said subconsciously, "What do you mean? Mother, what do you mean?"

Aunt Xue's face also turned stern, she was shocked and angry, "Madam, what do you mean? You brought us here to accuse us of something."

"Who do you think we are? If we had the real jade, we would have taken it out long ago."

"If we had seen it, my mother and I would have reported it long ago."

"Everyone knows that my mother and I have been working very hard to cure Baoyu's illness, seeking medical advice and praying to gods and Buddhas."

"Now you are still asking me this question, don't you think it's disheartening?"

Mrs. Wang's eyes also became sharp. She first looked at the Xue mother and daughter, and then looked at Grandmother Jia.

“Is there a joint here that I don’t know about?”

Then Xue Baochai stood up and bowed.

"Excuse me, Grandpa, is it Sister Lin who told you about this?"

Grandmother Jia paused, glanced at her, and did not answer.

"Even if the old ancestor doesn't answer, I know that this must have been said by Lin Daiyu."

"Yes! I have heard of it."

What? Mrs. Wang's eyes moved immediately.

I only heard Xue Baochai continue to say,

"Ying'er once told me that Sister Lin had found Brother Bao's jade. At that time, I thought it was a scam."

"It's false because it doesn't make sense."

"If she is sure it is true, she will bring the jade to my aunt. No matter how great the hatred is, my aunt will calm down when she sees Brother Bao's jade."

"Why bother?"

"We also need Mingyan's mother to hand it over?"

"So I asked Ying'er to go with me to get the jade."

"Sure enough, the jade that Old Ye's mother gave to my aunt was a fake jade."

"At that time, I advised my aunt to keep the peace. After all, they are all relatives."

“And they all mean well.”

"Who would have thought that now, on the contrary..."

"My good intentions turned into bad intentions!"

At this point, Xue Baochai's grievances immediately came to her mind.

Her eyes were filled with tears and she sobbed into her handkerchief.

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she felt furious.

She already believed Xue Baochai.

At this moment, she looked at Lady Jia.

The old lady is extremely biased.

Grandmother Jia's expression did not change, she just continued to say calmly,

"It's fine if you don't."

"If it doesn't exist, it will never exist again."

"It might not be a good thing to come out of nowhere."

When Lady Jia said this, Xue Baochai felt as if a bottle of five flavors had been overturned in her heart, with all kinds of tastes mixed together: sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty.

How did things come to this point? It’s all because of Lin Daiyu.

Nothing good will happen if she comes here alone.

Wouldn't the jade in my hand become dead jade?

Never get the chance to see the light of day?

Thinking of this, she continued to sob and say,

"I also know that the Lin family is very powerful now,"

"I heard that Sister Lin got Brother Bao's jade back yesterday. This is a good thing. I am naturally grateful to Sister Lin."

"But she called the fake jade real jade and pointed the finger at me. I was not convinced."

"I swallowed this grievance, not because I accepted it, but because I couldn't afford to offend."

In a blink of an eye, the sobbing turned into choking, and then she was out of breath.

Aunt Xue was also angry because she suffered such injustice before she even got married.

"Sister, old lady, won't you give me an explanation?"

Grandmother Jia sighed, the cane in her hand felt heavy.

"How do you explain it? Aren't you suspicious of her too? Suspicion of each other is a tactic used by girls."

"Let's just let this matter go!"

How could this matter be let go so easily? Mrs. Wang's face changed and she wanted to argue with reason.

She suddenly thought of the imperial edict, and her tone softened. Instead, she said to Xue Baochai,

"Precious girl, if you are patient for a while, the world will be bright and beautiful."

Xue Baochai wiped her tears with her hands, isn't this the tone of her aunt?

This must be something wrong. Thinking of this, Xue Baochai couldn't help but say,

"It seems that Auntie thinks so too?"

"So from now on, do I have to be patient more often?"

"It seems that my aunt's love for me is fake?"

The expression on Mrs. Wang's face froze for a moment.

"My son, your aunt has always been sincere to you."

"Don't worry, your aunt will take care of it for you."

"In the future, she will marry in with an imperial decree."

"Your aunt won't let you suffer any injustice."

"What?" Xue Baochai's face immediately appeared from under the handkerchief, her almond-shaped eyes wide open, with a questioning look on her face.

"Auntie, are you going to bully me too?"

Mrs. Wang was also stunned for a moment, wondering why he suddenly said that.

She immediately took off a jade bracelet from her wrist, pulled Xue Baochai's hand over,

Put it in her hands.

"This jade bracelet was passed down to me by my mother-in-law when I got married. I am passing it down to you now."

"This is all for the sake of saving the Jia family. I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position."
