Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"Shopkeeper! What are you still standing there for? Are you a piece of wood?"

Seeing that her words had intimidated Jia Min, the woman immediately ordered the shopkeeper to grab the things.

Jia Min was a shy person to begin with, and when someone pointed at her and talked about her in public, she didn't care whether what was said was right or not.

She felt hot and awkward at first, and was so angry that her hands were shaking and she couldn't speak.

"I wonder who dares to touch my mother?" Lin Daiyu stepped forward. Although her voice was tender, it was loud and resounding.

Someone was trying to stir up trouble. Jia went out wearing a veil on his head, so who would have known?

Why did this fool suddenly appear? He pointed and cursed.

"Whose second wife are you? Everyone on the street knows that Governor Fang is going to marry a new wife. Mr. Fang's legitimate wife is Mrs. Shi."

"Which crack of the rock did you jump out from? How dare you bark here?"

"Since you know my mother's identity, you should know that my mother is a royal concubine. Who are you?" Lin Daiyu pointed at the woman and asked loudly.

"My mother doesn't bother to pay attention to you. Not any barking cat or dog on the street is worth my mother's attention!"

"If you don't have the imperial edict, apologize to my mother immediately and this matter will be over. Otherwise..."

"Mountain! Go inform the police! I want to see if this second wife recognizes the laws of the court."

As soon as Shantou heard this, he turned around and ran out.

"Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Is this the young master of the Imperial Censorate? He is so young, but he has a sharp tongue. Does a censor have to have a good tongue?"

"Today I will pull out your tongue and break your teeth!"

The woman looked at Lin Daiyu, who was dressed like a young master, and didn't take it seriously. She still bared her teeth and threatened her viciously.

Hey! This is aimed at my father's censor! This is even more of a conspiracy!

I can’t let my father’s reputation down at this moment!

Just as Lin Daiyu was about to speak, she heard Jia Min's faint voice.

"Orioles, orioles, are you just going to bark at a mad dog?"

"Fan me."

Say I can! Say my daughter can't!

The oriole, the yellow warbler, received the order from its mistress, took two quick steps, walked up to the woman, swung its arm, and slapped the person in the face.

The woman instinctively shrank back, and two maids came out behind her.

"Pa! Pa! Pa!" The maid behind him was also a strong person and she took the two slaps.

The two men were no pushovers either. They bared their teeth, endured the pain, and stretched out their hands to fight with the oriole.

But how could they be opponents? Moreover, they were used to being arrogant in the mansion, and they were always the only ones who beat others.

They had never seen such a fierce man who dared to fight with them, so the two of them, who were inexperienced and tough, suffered a great loss.

The woman was followed by eight maids, who rushed forward as soon as they saw that their side was at a disadvantage.

A group of people pulling each other's arms and legs will start to fight together.

As a last resort, the oriole took out his whip.

"Snap! Snap! Snap!" As the whip sounded, several maids screamed "Oh! Ah!" and rolled into a ball.

What a big loss!

"Someone come! Police station! Wife of the Salt Inspector, someone is being hurt in the street!" The woman shouted loudly, regardless of her image.

While calling the police, he did not forget to threaten Jia Min's maid.

"Stop! Do you still want your adults to stay in Yangzhou?"

"Do you want to die without a burial place?"

"Stop!" The head of the police station finally arrived.

The two sides stopped fighting and retreated to the side. At this point, it seemed that one side was left with only a few wounded soldiers.

The other side was silent and under pressure.

When the woman shouted that the master might be implicated, Jia Min wanted to let go.

But she was a little slow to react.

"What happened? Why did they start a fight?" Several maids over there had wounds on their faces and bodies, and they were crying and shouting at the same time.

The chief of patrol listened for a while with a frown on his brow, but he couldn't bear to listen any longer as it was too chaotic.

"Okay! Okay! You don't have to say anything more." The patrol chief turned around and asked Jia Min.

"I know the whole process. You beat him up, pay him some money, and the matter will be over! Okay?"

"I also know that you are an imperial decree."

"It's the new censor's wife."

"But Madam Censor has to pay for hitting someone!"

"Are you right?"

These few words made Jia Min feel cold in her heart. How could they judge a case here without considering the cause and effect?

We can't let them make such a judgment. Otherwise, the rumors about her will be even more vicious, and our daughter might even be implicated.

"This officer, don't you want to ask about the cause and effect?"

The head of the police was shocked when he heard this. What did this mean? Was he not convinced?

This lady is quite stubborn?

"If that's what you mean." The chief of the patrol spread his hands, "then why don't we all go to the government office and let the busy master make the decision?"

When Jia Min heard this, she was deflated. How could this be possible? It was embarrassing enough for a mistress of a family to have been to the yamen.

"Just stop here!" Her voice sounded a little discouraged.

The chief of police touched his chin and said with some embarrassment.

"Then I'll end it here! Do you both agree?"

He first asked for the opinions of both parties.

Both parties nodded.

Lin Daiyu took a breath.

Judging from the situation, something seems to be wrong, and the tone of the patrol chief's words is inappropriate.

Sure enough, the patrol chief raised his chin and asked two questions, the direction of which was very obvious.

The first question was, "Who started it first?" He asked the female shopkeeper.

The female shopkeeper looked at Jia Min and pointed at the oriole apologetically.

"Since it's a sales dispute, who...will pay first?" The chief of patrol deliberately paused here, as if to give the shopkeeper time to think.

Jia Min's heart skipped a beat.

not good!

Sure enough, the female shopkeeper pointed at the woman.

The chief of the police raised his eyebrows and looked at Jia Min jokingly, "Madam, how do you think I should judge this case?"

"How about you teach me?"

"You are a lady of the imperial court. How about I give you a private visit? What do you think?"

"In this case, someone else paid first, and you started the fight first. Your people injured her people."

"Is this true?"

Jia Min was shaken by this question. The question forced her to nod, but she couldn't nod.

She held on to her last bit of stubbornness and asked, "Don't you want to ask about the cause and effect?"

"Madam, even though you are a royal lady, you can't be unreasonable, right?"

"No matter what the cause and effect is, you can't hit anyone!"

"Ask any common people out there, and they will all know that the court judges cases based on whether there are injuries or not."

The chief patrol officer raised his chin towards the crowd watching the excitement outside, then turned his face back and continued speaking.

"The injuries here are obvious, and you refuse to admit your mistakes."

"Let me explain the cause and effect. Someone else paid first, but you snatched the goods away before you paid. This is a bit like forcing a sale."

"I won't pursue this matter any further."

"Look..."

"Do you need me to give you some advice? You can just pay her some medical expenses and we won't pursue each other. How about that?"

The chief of the patrol looked at Jia Min with an inquiring look.

"The things are returned to you. Do you think this is okay with my ruling?"

"Are you satisfied?"

"Madam Censor?"

"Just think of it as spending a little more money to buy this set of jewelry."

The chief of police continued to look at Jia Min, waiting for her answer.

Even though Jia Min was slow-witted, she understood.

This not only brings shame upon myself, but also frames the master.

What is partiality? If he were to use this method to justify something that was originally reasonable...

Then the master really couldn't stay in Yangzhou any longer, as the foundation of an imperial censor's career is integrity and justice.

Isn't this just throwing dirty water on the master?

Jia Min felt a great pain in her heart, but she had nothing to say.

What did he say? He said his daughter was insulted and he had someone fight back.

This further proves that I was the one who took action first.

Jia Min's heart gradually became desperate.
