Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"Second brother, how have you been lately?" Governor Fang asked in a friendly manner when he saw that Mr. Fang had obviously gained weight.

"Ah!..." Master Fang was a little scared. This was even more confusing than being furious.

"Brother..." He opened his mouth for a long time but didn't know what to say.

"It was your elder brother who treated you badly a while ago. Have you forgotten about it?"

"Ah..." Master Fang was dumbfounded.

Not only Mr. Fang, but also Shi Yifang felt that something was wrong.

What happened? This uncle, the governor, is a little abnormal!

Without letting them speculate too much, Governor Fang got straight to the point after exchanging pleasantries.

"Second brother, I will give you three choices now,"

"First, we divide the family property, and you return to your ancestral home to live out your parents' days in peace, while you serve as a filial son to them."

"Second, I will kick you out of the house. Your share will not be reduced at all."

"Third, you go to the capital and live with the Yue family."

Upon hearing these three points, each one means being kicked out of the house.

Mr. Fang and his wife collapsed to the ground.

Coming back to his senses, Mr. Fang straightened his neck and became courageous.

"Brother, why? I don't!"

All these things have ruined his life of happiness!

Governor Fang looked at his stupid brother, afraid that he would get stuck in a rut and ruin his own plans.

So I explained it.

The reason is very simple. The Salt Inspector impeached me. In order not to implicate you and also to leave a way out for the Fang family.

My brother had no choice but to do this.

When Mr. Fang heard this, he felt unwell and his head was dizzy.

How could that be? Didn't we go to Daming Temple together not long ago?

And thinking of his devilish illegitimate son, he couldn't help but shudder.

No, he is Shi Yifang's relative.

It was this evil woman, you, who had been misleading me, saying that you were some relative.

Let me win him over, but now he has become the knife that stabs us to death.

It's you, this evil woman. Thinking of this, Mr. Fang's hands generated infinite power.

He rushed to Shi Yifang and grabbed her neck.

I'm gonna strangle you! I'm gonna strangle you!

Mr. Fang's eyes shone red and fiercely, like a hungry wolf.

Shi Yifang collapsed on the ground like a drowning fish.

Even though she was about to die with a cold stare, she still laughed at the man.

If she had not married this man, how could Shi Yifang's fate be so miserable.

Just die! Living is worse than death. Living has already turned me into a tombstone. If I die, I may return to my childhood.

There is her older brother who takes care of her, and playmates of the same age. There are babbling, swings and courtyards, and laughter.

Go back, my muddy life.

Thinking of this, Shi Yifang gave up struggling, and her vision became increasingly darker.

Her face was full of smiles,

Suddenly, it was as if a beam of light was torn from the darkness.

Helplessly, there was light before her eyes again, and Shi Yifang closed her eyes again.

Let the tears find an outlet,

"How dare you!" With a loud shout, Fang Lao Er was kicked out.

"Brother! What should I do?" Fang Laoer burst into tears and snot.

"I can do nothing!"

Shi Yifang, who had to wake up, looked at Fang Laoer's misery and sneered.

It turns out that I just found this person. As long as you are alive, you have to struggle. Shi Yifang, feeling disappointed, coughed twice and cleared her throat.

"Brother, you have been the governor for so many years. I believe that many people must have impeached you. Which official has not been impeached?"

"Why did big brother make such arrangements this time?" Shi Yifang asked puzzledly.

Isn't it normal for officials to be impeached? Some people do just that, making groundless accusations?

Could it be that Lin Ruhai is so powerful that he can execute and confiscate the property of others whenever he impeaches them?

Governor Fang's eyes lit up and he looked at Shi Yifang with approval.

It's really a pity that this sister-in-law is paired with my brother.

But women? Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog.

Thinking of this, he explained to her seriously.

"Yes, to get to this position, there are countless open and covert attacks, but the only difference this time is that Lin Ruhai is not fighting alone."

"He has entangled all the civil and military officials in the court, which makes it impossible for us to hide."

"I let your family out just for the sake of safety. If I can get through this safely, I will help you."

Shi Yifang said calmly, "Brother! Lin Ruhai is just one person. Isn't he afraid of being falsely accused and assassinated?"

"Why should he?"

"Why? He just relied on his fearlessness of death." Governor Fang's eyes also showed ferocity.

Moreover, everyone would be frightened by his actions. Whether he succeeds or not, it has always been difficult for lone ministers to have a good ending.

Shi Yifang's eyes were also cold and gloomy.

"He is not afraid of death, so why should we be afraid of death? I will go and die in the Lin family."

"Everyone has done something wrong. You sued me and I sued you."

"I will take my daughter with me and die in the Lin family."

At this point, she looked at Fang Lao Er, who looked like a pile of garbage.

"Either you die with me in the Lin family, or we get divorced now!"

Fang Lao Er was furious when he heard this, "You wish! If you divorce now, you will just run away."

"I won't die in the Lin family, and I won't divorce you. I will drag you to death. It's you, the jinx, who ruined my good life."

Shi Yifang went crazy. She pulled out the hairpin on her head and stabbed Fang Laoer in the mouth.

"I want you to say it, I want you to say it, you are a weakling, you are good at nothing, what do I want you to do?"

Fang Lao Er also became anxious, and the two of them wrestled with each other, "You never let me touch you, how do you know I can't do it?"

"It's all your fault. I'm going to divorce you, you jealous woman."

"Okay! This is outrageous!" Governor Fang made the final decision.

"My Fang family cannot divorce, so we have to divorce you! Is it appropriate for a divorced woman like you to bring your daughter with you?" Governor Fang showed his true colors.

In fact, it would be good if his second brother could go to the Lin Mansion and make some trouble, but his second brother didn't have the courage.

The divorce brought shame to the Fang family.

Governor Fang chose to help his second brother keep his sister-in-law.

Shi Yifang was stunned and dumbfounded. There was no way out. This was a nest of jackals, tigers and leopards.

She fell to the ground dejectedly.

If I divorce myself, I will have nothing and be alone. Where can I go?

Her mind was in a mess.

She walked out like a zombie.

"Second Madam! Please go back. You can't go out." At the second door, the doorman stopped Shi Yifang.

At this time, the turbulent situation in Yangzhou did not affect the Lin Mansion at all.

Jia Min got up in the morning, dressed up, and then did some housework as usual.

Daiyu and Yong'an sometimes play nearby. Housework is simple and there are not that many things to do. There is no need to avoid children most of the time.

It's good to listen, and sometimes they will express some small opinions.

Although it is unreasonable most of the time, Jia Min also seriously thinks about the possibilities.

After finishing the housework that day, the second doorman came to report.

"Madam! A servant came outside to tell us that the second master of the Jia Mansion will arrive tomorrow."

"Do you want to welcome him in?"

When Jia Min heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she almost dropped the account book in her hand.

It should have been a cause for great joy that his own second brother was coming, but now the shock was greater than the joy.

What is my brother doing here? Is it because my mother did not agree with my explanation about the prince of Nan'an last time, so she sent my brother to investigate?

Oh my God! This is a capital crime, even my own mother wouldn't dare to tell anyone!

"Of course... please, come in quickly!" Jia Min came back to her senses.

No matter what the reason is, ask the servant first!

Lin Daiyu was also puzzled. It didn't make sense! Meeting Jia Zheng so soon?
