Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 437 Don't Be Clever

I heard that Jia's mother was calm as usual at this time.

"You don't have to go, second son's wife. If Jia Min wants to help, you don't have to go, she will do it."

"If we kneel now, it will make things difficult for her. This is forcing her. Do you think she will still reach out?"

Mrs. Wang immediately showed some struggle on her face.

"How can mother know if she doesn't try? How can she give up so easily?"

Grandmother Jia sighed and squeezed the cane in her hand tightly, "Look outside."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she looked outside and saw another group of maids running in, shouting,

"They've arrested someone."

Behind them were a few old women, a team of imperial guards, and a young general leading them.

These people had aggressive looks on their faces, and it was obvious that they were not friendly.

The young general walked to the door and clasped his fists.

"I am Wei Yi, and I am here on the orders of Prince Nan'an to clean up the Ningguo Mansion and the Jia family of Rongguo Mansion."

"The Jia family is suspected of murdering royal relatives."

"Now follow my orders,"

"All women, follow the maids. You are not allowed to take anything except the clothes you carry with you."

"All men should follow these imperial guards."

"Similarly, you are not allowed to take anything with you except the clothes you carry with you. All of you will be investigated."

Everyone at the scene, including Mrs. Wang, felt as if the air had been sucked out of them, making it difficult for them to breathe.

Some were even scared to the point of crying and screaming on the ground.

Only Grandmother Jia watched coldly, feeling hopeless.

She picked up her crutches and hobbled out.

Mrs. Wang stood up suddenly, pointed at Lady Jia, and said to the young general,

"Do you know who she is?"

"She is Jia Min's biological mother and Lin Daiyu's maternal grandmother."

"Do you want to take it with you too?"

The young general was quite respectful and clasped his fists towards Lady Jia.

"Old man, if you are taken away, you will be investigated. Don't worry, someone will take care of your daily life."

Grandmother Jia smiled faintly and said to the young general,

"I believe you. Aren't you the former 'Prince of Nan'an'?"

"You can even appear in public and perform the duties of the imperial guards. This shows that Prince Nan'an is in control of the overall situation."

The young general Wei Yi smiled slightly.

"The old man has good eyesight."

Mrs. Wang, who was standing by, heard this and suddenly shouted in a hurry,

"You are in charge of the Imperial Guards, but where is my brother Wang Ziteng?"

The young general glanced over and said, "Wang Ziteng has been detained and is awaiting trial."

……

It's over, completely over!

……

Mrs. Wang felt that she could no longer stand and she staggered a few times.

Jia Tanchun supported her from behind.

She glanced back, then pulled her arm back.

Looked at Xue Baochai.

Xue Baochai bowed to the young general.

"General, we are relatives of the Jia family. We are here to visit the old man today. Are we also under investigation?"

"Can you let us go home?"

The young general frowned and looked at everyone.

"I say again, whether you are relatives or friends, take them all away. We will make a judgment after we have identified them."

"If there are any more nagging and disobedient ones, Mammy will teach them some rules."

No one dared to say anything more.

Xue Baochai's face was gloomy.

She stood beside Aunt Xue without even looking at Mrs. Wang.

Today I have been implicated by the Jia family.

Just at this moment, Aunt Zhao came running in with Jia Huan.

"Third Miss, someone is being arrested."

The young general kicked Jia Huan to the ground with a clang.

"Who let you in? There are only women here."

Then he pointed at Jia Huan and said to several imperial guards,

"Throw him over to the men's side."

Upon hearing this, a guard walked up to Jia Huan, who was lying on the ground, grabbed him by the collar, and dragged him out.

Jia Huan was still crying and shouting, "Oh, Third Sister."

"Auntie! ..."

Aunt Zhao opened her eyes wide, not daring to speak. She retreated quietly to Jia Tanchun's side.

Jia Tanchun glanced at her and whispered,

"Be obedient and don't try to be clever."

Jia Tanchun understood that she had to be obedient at this time. She had a feeling that Lin Daiyu would not give up on them.

But if you don't listen and get hurt now, no God can save you.

This is the time to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

Seeing that the young general was really unsympathetic and with Aunt Zhao's incident, everyone calmed down and followed Lady Jia out silently.

There was already chaos outside, and the maids were running around telling each other, some taking things while the chaos was going on, and some running out while the heat was on.

Several of them were severely beaten by the imperial guards.

……

Everyone lined up and left according to their respective identities.

For a time, the once majestic Jia Mansion became empty.

When Jia's mother looked back, she saw that even the birds in the sky had disappeared.

The occasional bird song is also abrupt and desolate.

Behind her, Lady Wang, Lady Xing, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, Sanchun and others all looked haggard.

They will all be detained in the Dali Temple.

The mother and daughter of the Xue family couldn't help but sigh with emotion. They had just passed by the Dali Temple a few days ago and were still chatting and laughing.

They will be going in for investigation in a few days, and Aunt Xue is very calm about this investigation, but Xue Baochai is worried.

She had no idea how deep this investigation would go.

The spring breeze is so cold that it makes people feel pain all over.

Shi Xiangyun had not yet recovered from her shock.

Am I escaping from the ancestral hall to the prison cell?

……

After the Lin family discussed and confirmed it, Lin Ruhai and others returned to the yamen to work.

Lin Yongyi was asked to take a long vacation.

He took people directly to find his father,

His father, the clan leader, now appears at the Lin family's door from time to time.

Stay at the Chamber of Commerce at night.

When Lin Yongyi found him, the clan leader was still talking big.

"The Lin family is going to be prosperous!"

“It’s a level of development that we had never imagined before.”

"The smoke from the ancestral graves is so thick that it blocks out the sun and the sky."

"My little niece has been different from ordinary people since she was young."

"A dragon and a phoenix among men."

……

“When the birds see her, they really bow their heads.”

"When I was born, there were parrots flying around my house."

"I can't even drive him away!"

“A hundred birds pay homage to the phoenix, have you ever heard of it?”

“I really saw it!”

……

Naturally, everyone agreed very tactfully.

"That's right, most people can have this blessing!"

"Those who have this blessing must be stars from heaven who have come down to earth."

……

At this time, the patriarch, who was the center of attention, saw his troubled son, and came out with a few people, running towards him.

The patriarch was in high spirits.

"Son! Is it your uncle Hai who wants to see me?"

"I have prepared enough gifts, which will definitely make my niece proud."

But Lin Yongyi pulled a long face and said to his father,

"Master Patriarch, go back and pack your things and follow me back to Suzhou."

The clan leader's face darkened, and he came close to Lin Yongyi and whispered,

"Why? Are you stupid?"

"You are so stupid. We are going to be rich soon. Why go back to Suzhou? Stay here instead."

"Stay here, and you can become a royal relative."

"If I go back to Suzhou, I will be a local rich man at best."

"My silly son, I wish I could bring everyone from Suzhou here."

"Strength lies in numbers. You need to explain this clearly to your Uncle Hai."

But Lin Yongyi's son didn't listen to him at all. He just frowned.

He waved his hand behind him.

"Go! Tie up the clan leader and take him back to Suzhou."

Two people immediately stood up behind him and pounced on the head of the Lin family like wolves and tigers.

quick! allow! ruthless!
