Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"Madam, the master asked me to inform you in advance that the master will arrive in Yangzhou tomorrow morning." Jia Zheng's servant replied respectfully.

"Second brother didn't tell me why you came here?" Jia Min asked with a nervous heart.

"This..." The servant was a little hesitant, and the master didn't let him say it. It seemed that the Lin family didn't care about such a big thing at all.

These are major events involving the confiscation of property and the extermination of the entire clan!

I don’t know whether I should say this or not!

But when the lady asked about it, the servant could only answer vaguely,

"This matter should be asked to Lord Lin. He has done such a big thing. The Second Master has come with the heads of various government offices to investigate!"

"Burp..." Jia Min almost choked. Her true intention was finally exposed.

I don't know what crime I should be punished for harboring the Prince of Nan'an?

Is it a crime of deceiving the emperor?

There is no way out! The more I think about it, the more I think there is no way out!

She asked in panic, "Does Second Brother have anything to teach me?"

When the servant saw Jia Min's pale face, he thought she seemed to know the seriousness of the matter.

Why don’t you know how to comfort your husband?

But that's not something he has the right to say.

He had no choice but to say, "This is not something I should know."

"I guess the second master will discuss it in detail when he meets the uncle tomorrow."

The letter was delivered and the servant said goodbye and left.

Jia Min was like an ant on a hot pot. It was all over! The crime of deceiving the emperor!

Behead and confiscate the property! Confiscate the property and behead!

What should I do? I can't let my children be buried alive with that prince!

me……

Get rid of him! He will never admit it.

"Mom! What's wrong with you?" Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Min's face which changed color.

He was walking around the room in a daze.

This doesn't sound like the behavior of someone who wants to meet his brother!

Oh, right! Daiyu, ask Daiyu. Jia Min remembered that Lin Daiyu often went to the study recently.

"Daiyu, do you know where your cousin is today?"

Daiyu...

My mother was really confused.

She was also listening to what the servant said just now, but she didn't find anything scary!

"Mother! Why are you asking this? Besides, my cousin is usually elusive and no one knows where he is!"

"If you must ask, maybe Father knows."

"They seem to be plotting something?"

"What did you say? Daiyu, say what you just said again!" Jia Min seemed to have caught something by the tail and asked in a relentless tone.

"I say, father and cousin are plotting something!" Daiyu spoke word by word, raising her voice and speaking to Jia Min.

"Mom! Don't worry about anything, dad is here!"

"There's no point in worrying!"

After hearing her daughter's words, Jia Min felt reassured. That's right! If you are unsure about anything, ask your husband.

How could I have forgotten this.

Thinking of this, Jia Min calmed down.

"Banxia! Notify the doorman that the master is back and ask him to return to the rear house immediately and tell him that I have important business." Jia Min instructed the eldest maid.

Lin Ruhai went to the government office every day these days, without taking a day off, and never being late or leaving early, always doing his job conscientiously.

Perform the duties of an imperial censor, organize files and review documents.

After visiting various places, everyone now knows that he is an iron head. Not only is he an iron head, but he also has iron teeth and copper jaws.

Everyone avoids it, but no one dares to refuse it.

Yes! Who knows what crime this crazy person will accuse you of if you refuse?

The poor are afraid of the arrogant, and the arrogant are afraid of the stupid.

This is just a young and foolish man!

As soon as Lin Ruhai returned home, he heard the report from the doorman.

He had also received the news long ago and knew that the heads of various departments' investigations would arrive in Yangzhou soon.

I didn't expect it to be so fast! It seems everyone is very impatient!

Whether they were all eager to make achievements or had other ideas was not something he cared about.

It's like in a war, he gave the first nod and the outcome of the war has nothing to do with him.

He no longer sought promotion or wealth, he just wanted to land safely.

Many a salt inspector either secretly turned into a pile of dried bones or became innocent souls in the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

Otherwise, just jump in and go along with the crowd.

None of these were Lin Ruhai's choices. He wanted to be a famous official, but he had to be a living famous official.

I have to use some tricks! This prince of Nan'an is a natural born powerful official.

Why,……

As I walked and thought, I arrived at the inner house inadvertently.

Jia Min sat on the chair waiting eagerly. When she saw her husband coming back, she stood up quickly.

"Husband! My second brother is coming?"

"Is the truth going to be exposed?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jia Min felt a little regretful. She saw the two children listening with their ears perked up and their eyes blinked!

I forgot to send them away after dinner just now.

"Daiyu! Yongan, go back and sleep with your mothers!"

Ah! Daiyu was just about to hear some explosive news. What was the truth?

Did they rebel?

No way, I can’t tell at all!

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Lin Daiyu thought about it as she walked back, but in the end she couldn't figure it out.

No clue at all.

The only clue is that my father and cousin are doing something secret.

Forget it! The secret won’t disappear, just wait!

I guess Jia Zheng will reveal it tomorrow when he comes.

……

Lin Ruhai saw his panic-stricken wife and tried to comfort her, "Look at what you are thinking!"

"It has nothing to do with that matter. I guess my second uncle came here to check other official matters."

"I impeached Governor Fang!"

"Don't worry about this matter. I will take care of it myself."

When Jia Min heard that it had nothing to do with that matter, she felt relieved.

Impeachment is a common thing for my husband.

I guess my brother just came to see me.

Tomorrow we will hold a banquet to welcome my brother! Jia Min was overjoyed.

The family finally got to see him.

"Madame Rong, tell the kitchen to buy some early tomorrow morning and prepare the most sumptuous banquet."

"At the same time, let's go to the best restaurant and order a few dishes so that Second Brother can have a taste of the southern flavors."

"Also, tell the servants to clean the house and arrange the furniture. Everything from the writing brush, inkstone, paper, and table to the bed must be good."

"If it's not enough, we'll buy some tomorrow morning."

Jia Min was as happy as a butterfly and told the maids and old women to prepare overnight.

Lin Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his wife busy as a gust of wind.

It's good this way, even if the winds are high and the seas are dangerous in the future, as long as the situation is calm and peaceful at this moment, it is enough!

The next morning, Lin Daiyu got up, washed up, and came out to see that it was like Chinese New Year.

The courtyard was cleaned, the ground was sprinkled with water, and even the flowers, plants and trees were trimmed.

A brand new atmosphere.

When I arrived at the flower hall of Jia Min's main house, I saw that there was no one there.

He had no choice but to go to the bedroom and see Jia Min combing her hair. "Mom! Why are you getting dressed now?"

Rong Mama said, "You are not just getting dressed now, you have been busy all morning."

"Please touch up your makeup now. By the way, Miss, what you are wearing is not good either."

When Jia Min, who was combing her hair with her back to them, heard that Daiyu was not dressed properly, she turned around.

"Oops! I forgot, the two children are not dressed up."

"Mother Li! Mother Wang! Go back and re-do your hair and change your clothes."

"Good boy, your uncle is very polite!"
