Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

"Everyone in the family said that the second wife, the housekeeper, took the monthly salary from the family members and went out to lend money to make money at interest.

"In fact, the one who actually lends money out is the wife! The wife started lending money only half a year after she got married. She is very familiar with the Lai Wang family!

"Wait until Second Madam becomes the housekeeper, and then let Wang's family come up with some ideas. Second Madam is short of money and cares about her reputation, so she will naturally listen to everything!

"Take the money from home and go out to lend it out. The big share goes to the wife, and the small share goes to the second wife. It's easy to just go to the Wang family and exchange a document!"

Zhou Ruijia was talking excitedly, and when she spoke of her pride, she sat down on her feet unconsciously and raised her face.

——Of course he saw Mrs. Wang’s murderous gaze!

He was so scared that he lowered his head and knelt down properly. He didn't ask any questions and didn't speak, and was as quiet as a chicken.

Lin Daiyu smiled at her and asked affectionately, "Mrs. Zhou, if that's the case, I have to ask you! Is there anyone else around your Second Mistress who only listens to the Madam and not your Second Mistress?"

Zhou Ruijia looked up in surprise and answered in a somewhat foolish manner: "We are servants of the Wang family, so we naturally listen to the Madam. Although the Second Madam is also a girl of the Wang family, how can she compare with the Madam?

"When Madam was still a girl, she was the housekeeper in the capital. All the servants in our Wang family, big and small, were employed by Madam.

"If Second Madam hadn't received the guidance of our old lady and knew how to please Madam, how could she have such a good marriage and how could she be where she is today?"

Madam Wang's eyes were red with anger. She slammed the table and shouted at her, "Ruyi! I treated you well! How dare you hurt me like this? Are you crazy?"

When Zhou Ruijia was called back to her maid's name, she couldn't help but cry and covered her face, "Madam, I dare not not tell you!

"You sent the Second Mistress's maid to kill Aunt Zhao without telling me. I thought I was helping you, but who knew I was doing more harm than good!

"I have been with you for decades. Don't I know your temper? I have ruined your business. If I stay here, I will die!

"I now have sons and daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. How can I afford to die? When did you fail to bring harm to your family?

"Xiren is lucky to be taken to Xue's house by Miss Bao. You asked my man to go to her family and do something to prevent you from killing Xiren and her family from suing. Isn't this what is happening right now?!

"Besides, my whole family is in someone else's hands now. Do I still have the guts to keep silent? My unlucky son-in-law has even revealed all the details of our family's entire ancestry!

"Besides, even if I don't say it, someone else will! If someone else says it first, what I say will be worthless! Besides, I bought this house secretly..."

At this point, Zhou Ruijia burst into tears with all her heart, "I dare not not tell you, Madam! I owe you money! I have to pay you back, I have to pay you back!"

The more they listened to this crying, the more frightened they became. When they looked at Mrs. Wang again, they felt a different feeling!

Baoyu was particularly shocked. The confession in his hand was shaking uncontrollably, and he stared blankly at the table in front of him, unable to sit still!

"Wang, why did you ask someone to kill Aunt Zhao?" Jia Zheng's eyes were cold and his tone was chilly.

Mrs. Wang bit her lip, lowered her head and cried without saying a word.

Daiyu smiled and said, "Because the affairs of the Qian and Zhao families have been exposed, someone will investigate thoroughly soon. If Aunt Zhao is brought back for this, she will be confronted with countless loopholes.

“And all these gaps will point to my second aunt.

"Second aunt, although I don't have much experience, I have read a few books. If you were a man, with your ability to play dumb and kill people, you would be a general or a prime minister without any problem!"

As he spoke, he reached his hand to the side.

Xiaohong quietly handed over a piece of paper.

Lin Daiyu handed the paper to Grandmother Jia: “This is the person Aunt Zhao thought she had buried in the mansion.

"I asked Zhou Ruijia to identify them. Probably only the ones circled are really from the Zhao family. The others were sent to Aunt Zhao by the Madam.

"If the Zhao family, the Qian family, etc. mobilize these people, it will only take one or two evenings for Madam to use the hands of these two families to send Third Sister and Huan'er to hell!"

Jia Zheng frowned tightly, took the paper from Jia Mu's hand, and read it with gritted teeth.

Lin Daiyu was thirsty, so she picked up the tea bowl and moistened her throat.

"You are acting like this. If you say it's for Baoyu's future, then you just need to suppress Huan'er. Why do you even spare Lian'er's wife? She is your niece!" Jia Zheng was puzzled.

Mrs. Wang shed tears and sobbed, "I only do this for my children..."

"Stop being disgusting!" Daiyu interrupted her and sneered, "If you could restrain yourself a little, stop coveting my property, stop forcing my sons and daughters into a corner, and live in harmony with your family!

"Your daughter will not be criticized by the queen, mocked by the concubines, or ignored by the emperor in the palace! Your son will not be spoiled into a waste or become a hopeless person at home!"

Both Grandmother Jia and Jia Zheng looked at Mrs. Wang coldly, thinking: No matter how hateful Sister Lin is, what she said is not wrong.

Lin Daiyu looked at Mrs. Wang and sneered, "Let's not talk about going off topic. I will ask my second aunt:

"The testimony in Brother Bao's hand clearly states: You sent someone to buy this invisible killing drug after my father wrote that he was seriously ill and before I returned to Yangzhou.

"I don't understand, why would you buy such a sophisticated and extremely expensive medicine so far in advance to kill a little girl who may not come back at any time?

"Have you already prepared to kill for money before my father passed away? Then why did you ask Brother Lian to get my family's property into your own hands?

"Or, in fact, this medicine you prepared was not for me?"

Lin Daiyu asked this question slowly, but found that both Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng changed their expressions.

Jia Zheng was even more shocked and angry. He gnashed his teeth and looked at Mrs. Wang, growling in a low voice: "You stupid woman! Didn't you tell me that you only used the nightmare spell? Why did you also use poison? That's someone you can touch?"

Speaking of this, Madam Wang sat up straighter, smiled coldly, and snorted, "Brother Zhen has gone insane! Now that everyone knows who the evildoer is, he must not be allowed to stay!

"Why should my daughter suffer injustice in the palace, while she is wearing gold and silver, enjoying delicacies from land and sea, and being pampered in the East Palace? I want her to die!

"Originally, she could have slowly died of the disease. But Zhen Geer insisted on finding a doctor for her. He made a big fuss about it and even alarmed the medical experts!

"The world is so big, there are many hidden talents. I can't wait for someone to find out the drug! So, I had to use the Nightmare Suppression to urge her to hang herself!

"After she died, the Emperor appreciated the cleverness of my family's actions and immediately promoted my daughter to a higher position, alleviating his worries. Didn't your Jia family also benefit and become a royal relative?

"You have nothing to say when you are taking advantage of others! Why, now that it's time to chop off your head, you all think you are innocent and that I am the only bad guy?!"

Mrs. Wang’s questioning was so confident that Lady Jia and Jia Zheng were speechless.

Lin Daiyu was about to speak when the door curtain was suddenly lifted and a gust of cold wind swept in!

Everyone didn't have time to be surprised!

There was a flash of cold light!

A short, sharp knife used for cutting meat was pressed hard against Mrs. Wang's throat, and blood began to ooze out almost instantly!

Jia Zhen bit his back teeth and cried crazily into her ear, making her hair stand on end: "You, bitch!!!"
