Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Aunt Meng in the inner room spoke very quietly, and in the outer room only a buzz of voices could be heard, but no one could tell who was saying what.

Lin Daiyu took a deep breath and started to do the last thing of her plan for today.

"That's all that has been said. Grandmother, second uncle, what are you going to do with my second aunt?"

Jia Zheng gnashed his teeth and said, "I want to divorce her!"

"Are you going to quarrel with the Wang family?" Grandmother Jia glared at him with disdain, then turned to Daiyu and said calmly, "After all, she raised two sons and a daughter, so I have to leave a way out for the children.

"I will discuss this matter with her second brother Wang Ziteng to see whether she should go to the Buddhist temple in her hometown to pray for blessings, or go to the farm to recuperate. In short, the limit is half a year."

She must be made to die of illness within half a year.

This is almost the most satisfactory explanation that the Jia family can give to Daiyu.

But at this moment, Baoyu suddenly fell to his knees in front of Lin Daiyu, tears dripping down his face, and he choked with sobs:

"Sister Lin, she is my biological mother after all. I know she has committed a heinous crime, which is unforgivable. But I beg you, for the sake of her being a mother, please give her a chance to live."

Lin Daiyu's eyes were slightly cold, but she still asked him patiently: "What kind of life do you want?"

"Everyone knows that Madam is a Buddhist. Why not turn her bedroom in the mansion into a Buddhist temple? From now on, she will not be allowed to come out and can only worship Buddha in it.

“I only told others that my wife was a devout Buddhist and therefore had no patience for worldly affairs.

"I can swear to God that I will never let her out. I will guard that house forever! Until my mother dies!"

As Baoyu said this, he kowtowed to Lin Daiyu while crying!

Lin Daiyu hurriedly stood up and moved away, sighed, shook her head and said, "Second brother, I understand your feelings. Your method is also for my own good.

"But you didn't think of that."

Baoyu was stunned, still kneeling, and looked up at her: "What is it?"

"You get up first." Daiyu pointed at him, "How can I say anything when you're like this?"

Baoyu hurriedly stood up, raised his sleeve to wipe away his tears, and said hurriedly: "You tell me, tell me."

"If your uncle Wang Ziteng heard about it, he would rush back overnight to bring his sister back. Will the Jia family let her go?" Daiyu asked.

Everyone looked at each other.

Let her go, she will be like a fish in the sea. Never think of punishing this vicious woman again!

If he didn't let her go, Wang Ziteng's face would be there. As long as no one had the guts to kill his sister in front of him, he would have to let her go.

At that time, whether Mrs. Wang stays or leaves will become the most unwilling and difficult thing for the Jia family.

Daiyu asked again: "You have also heard that all the concubines of the Wang family in the mansion obey the orders of the Madam. What if she gets through some connections and continues to cause trouble in the mansion under the pretext of worshipping Buddha? Who can detect it?"

“Even if you notice, what can you do?

"Two generations of girls from the Wang family, eight concubines, and countless in-laws and old friends have already taken root in your Rong Mansion. Do you have the ability to eliminate them all?

"Even if you are swift and resolute, and you are a brave man who cuts off his own arm, can you clear it? With such a big move, are the others blind and deaf, unable to see or hear it?

"If this matter gets out there, Brother Bao, then the Jia and Wang families will fall out. If your old friends start asking each other about it, what will you say?"

Baoyu opened his mouth for a long time but couldn't utter a word, and his tears flowed faster and faster.

Daiyu then turned to Grandmother Jia and replied calmly, "Grandmother's idea is of course the best. However, I hope that Grandmother and my uncles will understand:

"Wang Ziteng is not a close relative of the Jia family. Don't believe what he said about being in the same boat or being a close relative."

When Grandmother Jia heard this, she glanced at Baoyu subconsciously, frowned and shook her head: "He is Baoyu's uncle!"

"So what if he's my uncle?" Daiyu glanced at Jia Zheng blatantly and laughed, "Brother Zhen almost strangled to death a commoner girl who came to my Lin family and banged on the door to protest her injustice in Xueeryuan just now.

"My dear uncle wants to just leave this life in my Lin Mansion as if nothing happened!

"Fortunately, I didn't listen to my grandmother and let my uncles handle this matter. Otherwise, I would have taken the blame for my crime!"

Grandmother Jia was shocked, glared at Jia Zheng angrily, and snorted, "You are blinded by greed and forget your principles! If you don't change, you will never make any progress in your life!"

Jia Zheng's face turned red.

Daiyu sneered, let the matter go, and continued, "Let me put it this way, and you will understand it if you think about it:

"Why did the Second Madam love Brother Xianzhu so much before, but now she doesn't care about Sister-in-law and Brother Lang at all?

“That’s because, even if Brother Lang is successful, his maternal family will be the Li family first, and the Wang family will not be ranked at all!

"Why is the Second Madam suppressing the Third Girl while trying to contain Sister Feng?

“That’s because if the third girl marries well, the beneficiaries will be the Jia family, and even the Zhao family, but definitely not the Wang family.

"Since Sister Feng is so capable and prestigious, the first family to benefit is still the Jia family, and the second is probably the Wang family. But it must be the eldest branch of the Wang family, not him, Wang Ziteng!

"The last one is, why is it that even though I have recovered, have the emperor's favor, and have the family property, the Second Wife still only wants to kill me and still wants to marry Sister Bao to Second Brother?

“That’s because I’m the granddaughter of the Jia family, but Sister Bao and Second Brother are both nephews and nieces of the Wang family!

"The marriage between the two of them seems to be a marriage between the Jia family and the Xue family. In fact, it is simply that the Wang family has once again firmly grasped the current generation of the Jia and Xue families!

"As for the matter of entering the palace, I'm sure some people would say that except for big sister Yuanchun, no one else's age is suitable, right?

"Then I want to ask, how many years younger is Sister Feng than Sister Yuanchun? Why didn't the Wang family send Sister Feng to the palace, but just wanted the glory, instead of instigating our family to ruin a daughter's life?

"That's because the four surnames have always followed the emperor! The daughters sent in now can only be cautious and be caught between the emperor and His Majesty, struggling to maneuver and living a miserable life!

"If we are not careful, we will either lose the emperor's will or disobey the Supreme! His Wang family does not want to step into this fire pit, so they let our family send people, send money, and take risks. Wang Ziteng just gets this benefit for nothing!

"Anyway, he has a good sister who has been in charge of household chores since she was a girl. This sister only considers the Wang family and him in everything she does. It has become a habit! She is too easy to control!"

Analyze every detail carefully!

The more Lady Jia, Jia Zheng, and Lady Xing listened, the paler their faces became, and the more frightened they became!

That makes sense…

Is this really the case?!

I see! ! !

Grandmother Jia closed her old eyes slightly and laughed bitterly: "Ha! It's really a good plan! I'm old and have experienced many ups and downs, but I'm actually in the game and a pawn, and I'm still ignorant!"

She raised her hand and slammed the cane in her hand, and shouted in a low voice: "Okay! Then I will let Wang Ziteng see how an old woman like me who is about to die can give this arrogant boy a lesson that he will never forget!"
