Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"Madam! Are you really the one who lied to us?" Lily's parents were not happy.

We must get our son back today. The people who beat them told them that their son might be gone.

Let them deliver the poison, and they will have no chance of survival whether anything happens or not.

If something goes wrong, they take the blame; if nothing goes wrong, they are silenced.

I still lack experience! I listened to my daughter’s request to take care of her son because of her son.

Now it seems that the bandits were right.

They thought that the people who beat them were bandits because they were so good at beating people. Although the injuries were not serious, the pain was worse than death.

"Madam! At that time, we were talking about sending things and taking the child. We can't wait. We are afraid that if we wait, we will eventually die."

"We are just ordinary people. In the eyes of you nobles, our death is no different from crushing an ant."

"It's a dead end anyway, so we have nothing to fear. Madam, just tell me how we can get the child?"

Shi Yifang was filled with hatred that a slave like Yangzi could now threaten his master.

"Your son is not in my hands."

Hearing this, Lily's mother sat on the ground and burst into tears, slapping her thighs, twisting her neck, and grinning.

"My son! My son, who I carried with me through so much hardship for ten months! You were killed just like that, abandoning your parents!"

"My child was only about ten years old!"

"Shut up!" Aunt Hua was so angry that her face turned green when she saw Shi Yifang.

"Aren't you afraid of cursing your son to death by wailing like this? This is Daming Temple, the Buddhas are listening!"

"Are you not afraid that your mourning will be regarded as a wish?"

"Did you hear the mantra outside? Maybe it's the mantra for rebirth. Do you want your son to be reborn?"

Upon hearing this, Lily's mother hiccupped, swallowed her tears, and got up quickly.

He pulled up his sleeves and wiped away his nose and tears, leaving stains on his face.

He knelt on the ground again, "bang! bang! bang..." and kowtowed several times in the direction of the sermon outside.

"May Buddha bless my son and may he live a long life!"

After doing this with all his heart and soul, he turned around and asked Shi Yifang,

"Madam! My son is not dead?"

Shi Yifang said with disgust, "Your son is fine."

"But at Madam Cheng's place, I was afraid you wouldn't be able to do your job well, so I didn't bring you along."

"I will arrange a meeting when we return to the Governor's Mansion."

Shi Yifang's voice was cold. To Lily's parents' ears, they thought the meeting might be in the underworld.

How can I wait any longer?

What they want now is to run away with their son.

It's important to escape.

"Madam! In that case, please have someone send my son over here so we can take him away."

"Let's just wait here!"

"A round trip doesn't take more than a day anyway."

Shi Yifang was so angry that she gritted her teeth and said, "Well, you are forcing the mistress like this, aren't you afraid that Lily will suffer?"

Lily's parents rolled their eyes. "Of course, she is our daughter too. How could we not worry? But we have limited money and cannot redeem her. She will have to fend for herself!"

I secretly hated her in my heart, thinking that it was this damn girl who caused us to suffer like this.

She was just a maid, and she belonged to someone else's family. She was sold at that. One could have expected some money from her every month to support his son.

Now it seems that I have no choice but to give up.

I will look for her later when the rumors die down. I can't raise her for nothing.

Shi Yifang looked at Lily's rogue parents.

It’s such a pity for that girl Lily!

"Just go out and wait! I'll send someone to pick up your son in a moment."

"Just wait for the father and son, mother and son to be reunited."

After sending Baihe's parents away, Shi Yifang ordered someone to go back to the governor's mansion to pick up the child.

At this time, Fang breathed a sigh of relief and said to Jia Min, "Cousin Jia, you must be tired after all this journey!"

"Why don't we just separate now?"

"Or do you also want to wait and see their family reunion?"

"Cousin Shi, you can't say that. You didn't mention a word about the poison," Jia Min said slowly.

She doubted that no one would doubt Shi Yifang.

She thought that she had taken care of her in every way since she was a child. Shi Yifang was a concubine's daughter, but she lost her biological mother at birth and had been raised by the old lady of the Shi family.

She was no different from a legitimate daughter, and because she was of similar age to herself, her mother, Lady Jia, often brought her to the Jia family to play with her.

Apart from her bad mouth, she had never done any serious evil. She also knew that she was a concubine's daughter, so she was a little cautious.

So she asked cautiously, fearing to hurt his self-esteem.

Shi Yifang clutched her handkerchief in both hands, "Cousin Jia, wasn't what I just said all about the poison?"

When Jia Min saw that she was asking questions even though she already knew the answer, she started to make a fuss.

I had no choice but to save her face, "Shi Yifang, who are you going to use your poison on?"

Shi Yifang looked at Jia Min in surprise, "Cousin! What do you think?"

"You think this poison is for human use?"

"Do you think I have the guts to drug someone?"

"We have known each other for almost thirty years, and you have never understood me!"

Having said this, Shi Yifang seemed very disappointed, with a gloomy face.

"In that case, there's no point in saying more..." She sneered, not knowing who she was mocking.

"Cousin Jia, I will assume that you were frightened yesterday and are still in shock today, so I will not bother with you."

……

Jia Min said in surprise, "Isn't medicine for humans?"

Shi Yifang said as a matter of course, "Cousin Jia, you know I have been afraid of snakes and rats since I was a child, and I always carry medicine with me when I go out."

"I left in a hurry this time and forgot to bring it, so I asked Lily's parents to bring it."

"Lily has been with me for several years and has always been dedicated. The last time she made a big mistake, it was because her brother was captured by Madam Cheng II."

"Send the medicine, anyone can do it, I'm just giving her parents a chance."

"I didn't expect that Lily was a good person, but her parents were greedy and cunning. The whole family depended on Lily's income from selling her body and her monthly salary to survive."

"Sister, can't you really understand my sister's painstaking efforts?"

When Jia Min heard this, she was a little speechless. Her thoughts drifted to the past, wondering whether Shi Yifang was afraid of snakes and rats.

She hadn't figured it out yet.

"Snap! Snap! Snap!" Lin Daiyu clapped her hands loudly.

"Excellent! This is wonderful! My cousin Shi really has a clever tongue!"

"No matter how eloquent you are, I just want to ask you one thing: why do you want to harm my mother?" Lin Daiyu stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point.

Shi Yifang is really good at talking about this and that. The key is that she can really entangle Jia Min's thoughts.

We can't let her talk nonsense.

Shi Yifang looked at Lin Daiyu with disdain, "Cousin Jia, where are the rules? Where are your rules?"

"I am her elder after all. Is it normal to talk to an elder like this?"

"If my Zheng Ya dared to do this, yelling at my cousin, I would have fainted long ago."

After saying this, she just looked at Jia Min, not caring at all to argue with a maid.

I just want to see what you, Jia Min, say?

Jia Min herself had no idea what to do. She didn't want to come here in the first place. It was her daughter and the Prince of Nannan who encouraged her to come.

I just wanted to settle down and leave.

But now that Shi Yifang's words have hurt her daughter, this matter cannot be resolved peacefully.

There is no daughter in the world who is more sensible and capable than your own daughter.

Even the emperor's daughter can't do it.

Then she said something that made Shi Yifang vomit blood.

"Shi Yifang, my daughter has no right to rule against anyone."

"Her problem is my problem! Please answer it!"
