Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

When Wen Qiang heard that there were several roads, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"The first way is to choose a way to die and commit suicide."

The surprise in Wen Qiang's eyes faded, and she took a step back and said fiercely, "Don't even think about it!"

Wen Xin sneered, "Sister! Is life so interesting? The second way is to choose a place to become a monk."

Wen Qiang didn't dare look at Wen Xin with her captivating eyes. She turned her head and looked at the wall.

"Tell me another way."

Wen Xin looked at her sister with a look of disappointment, "The other way will be difficult. I'm afraid that my sister will be reluctant to let go."

Wen Qiang looked back at her, her eyes full of desire.

Wen Xin looked at her own shadow in the candlelight, which was getting farther and farther away from her sister's. She seemed to have a dry throat.

"If you want to take revenge yourself, there is still a glimmer of hope. That is, you can gain power."

"With power, sister, you can crush Jia Min into submission, right?"

"Even if you give her a bowl of poisoned wine, she will have to swallow it."

"But why do you have to work so hard?"

Wen Qiang couldn't believe it at this moment. "Wen Xin, how can such a good thing happen to me? What you just said, I have nothing left."

"Why do you get the power?"

"There is still a chance, it just depends on whether you can seize it?" Wen Xin's voice seemed to come from far away, almost inaudible.

"In a while, the governor will send this season's harvest to the capital. You can go with him! Whether you can win the favor of the governor depends on your ability."

"But let me remind you that your last name is no longer Wen."

Wen Qiang listened in a daze, like a wooden sculpture or clay figurine.

Is there any other way?

She asked Wen Xin.

Wen Xin thought about it and thought, maybe there is more?

"Given the identity of a good family, you marry a peddler, are you willing?"

Wen Qiang thought about it and answered affirmatively, "I am unwilling to do so."

"I'll listen to you!"

……

"Madam Hua! Did you hear that? There was the sound of weapons clashing outside." Shi Yifang grabbed the quilt tightly, only then did she feel safe.

A pair of eyes were fixed on the ceiling. Although his mind was confused, his ears were extremely clear.

Aunt Hua's voice seemed to come from under the quilt, muffled and heavy.

"I heard it! This is a suicide mission."

Outside, five assassins disguised as pilgrims, weapons in hand, crept towards the Buddhist temple.

They walked to the door of Jia Min and her family, put their ears against the door and listened, but there was no sound from inside.

Very good!

The order the assassins received was that the people inside were poisoned, and they were only responsible for finishing off the enemy.

They pushed the door open cautiously; there were too many people in the temple.

The finishing blow must be done secretly and quietly, so that the dead person will be discovered tomorrow.

They had already fled far away with a lot of money and lived a life of luxury.

The door opened with a gentle push.

This is going so smoothly! This is a good way to go.

The person who poisoned the food is such a good and honest person. Thank her!

When they entered the door, there was still no sound. They couldn't help but feel secretly happy, thinking that they were sure to make a fortune today!

My hands were shaking with surprise!

He slowly pulled out the knife and was about to strike the bed, intending to kill with one blow.

Who knew that several people would suddenly appear from behind them at some point in time and place, and with a few "pa! pa! pa! pa!" strikes, their weapons fell to the ground with a clang.

The man fell down quietly and softly.

Someone squatted down with an open sack, and the five assassins were skillfully stuffed into the sack.

The moon is bright in the sky tonight and everything is quiet and silent.

……

The window paper finally began to turn white, and the morning bells and evening drums in the temple rang out with the dawn.

"Mom! How are you?" As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw my daughter's concerned eyes.

Yesterday seemed like another dream! Jia Min responded to her daughter gently,

"Mom is fine. What could possibly happen to her? But, shall we go home after breakfast today?"

"Mom feels like it conflicts with the temple!"

"I will never talk about praying to the Buddha again!" Jia Min lowered her head, feeling that she had made a mistake.

Lin Daiyu sat down beside her mother's bed and said, "Mom! Don't worry. Yong'an and I went to look for you last night, but we didn't see Yankou!"

"You won't accompany us?"

Jia Min's face changed. Yes! The children came here for nothing, and were frightened.

Am I a bad mother?

Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Min's changing face and continued, "Mother! Don't you want to know who wants to harm you?"

Jia Min smiled bitterly, "Who else? Isn't it that woman?"

"Besides, she got a lesson yesterday, so I guess it will be okay if I just stay away."

Jia Min felt that she understood. It was Wen Qiang who had been staring at her.

Lin Daiyu was choked by Jia Min's words. This is Baozi Niang! And it's filled with red beans!

"Mom! Did you know that an assassin appeared last night? In the room where we were originally."

"Fortunately we moved to a new house, otherwise not only you, but also us would have been killed."

"What did you say? Are you telling the truth?" Jia Min immediately turned over.

"Is this why we changed rooms last night?"

Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Min and nodded, "Mother! We must find out who else is involved?"

"It's easy to dodge an open attack, but it's hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. We can't stay at home forever, can we?"

Jia Min's heart was pounding. Who were these damn assassins? They even spared my child.

"Yu'er! Where's the assassin?"

"Mom! Get up and eat first! The assassin was caught by my cousin and his friends."

"Maybe there will be something good to watch today?"

Jia Min got up and washed up energetically.

After she had finished cleaning up and was about to eat, she heard Daiyu coming over and saying to her,

"Mom! My cousin from the Shi family was also very nervous last night. Can you invite her over to have dinner with us? And my cousin too."

Jia Min thought about it and agreed, but wouldn’t this be too simple?

She asked Daiyu, "Is this convenient? The place is not big."

"Mom! Please invite my cousin and his wife from the Shi family, as well as my cousin, and add three more pairs of chopsticks."

Jia Min looked at Daiyu with relief, and suddenly realized that her girl had grown up and could help share her worries.

It seems that girls are much more sensible than boys!

Because she saw Yong'an eating vegetarian snacks with gusto.

As long as there is food and drink, everything is oblivious.

Shi Yifang was shocked when she received the invitation. What? Shouldn't Jia Min come over to say goodbye today?

This is how she does it!

"Auntie Hua! What should I do? I didn't sleep the whole night. I was always worried that someone would knock on the door suddenly."

Aunt Hua said with a stern face, "Madam! Dress neatly and go. Nothing will happen."

"Isn't the Second Master going too? Let him answer any questions."

"If you are afraid of exposing your true identity, then just say less. As long as you don't reveal your true identity, it won't have anything to do with you."

Shi Yifang had no choice. She couldn't refuse the invitation. Under normal circumstances, she should have gone to say hello early in the morning.

After all, Jia Min was frightened last night.

But, alas! I always have something to hide.

Where did the poison go? I don't know how to eat it.
