Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

But Grandmother Jia immediately spoke up, leaving Li Wan with no choice but to swallow her anger:

"Okay. You have a point. Zhu'er's wife went to live there to look after you. Now that she is no longer needed, she should move out to help her mother-in-law share her worries.

"The family has been busy for a year building the garden and the Queen's visit, but you have been lazy. Now is a time when everyone is busy, and her sisters really need someone to take care of them carefully. You should come out and help.

"Besides, Brother Lang is old now and will be going to school soon, so it would be more convenient for him to go out."

All the reasons have been mentioned. There is only one reason to leave, and there is no reason to stay in Lixiangyuan.

Li Wan had no choice but to stand up and agree.

Lin Daiyu refused to stay any longer and insisted on leaving. She also mentioned Wang Xifeng's name and asked her to take her back.

After leaving the room, Baoyu was waiting outside the courtyard eagerly. When he saw the two sisters coming out hand in hand, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked for the task of sending Lin Daiyu back.

Lin Daiyu politely declined again: "I came here by car, and my second sister-in-law will accompany me back, so I am not afraid of anything. Besides, there are maids. No need to bother you, second brother."

Under Jia Zheng's cold gaze, Baoyu had no choice but to take a step back: "Then sister, be careful on the road. It's dark, walk slowly."

"Don't worry, Brother Bao, I'm here!" Wang Xifeng smiled and helped Lin Daiyu get into the car first.

The two of them got in the car, and Zijuan and Ping'er naturally followed them outside.

The coachman became even more cautious, walking in front and pulling the horse's head, for fear of jolting the two men or hearing something he shouldn't hear.

"Sister Feng winked at me just now. Did you have something to say?" Lin Daiyu asked politely after she sat down.

Wang Xifeng patted her hands with a smile on her face and said, "But you are smart, I didn't misjudge you.

"I was just about to tell you that when you went back, the old lady was unhappy. She asked everyone to leave, but she called the second master over. The three of them talked for a long time with the mistress.

"When they were leaving, I heard that the master and his wife looked unhappy. The master even scolded his wife for being nosy, and his wife retorted, saying: It's all for your daughter!

"When I heard this before, I thought they were arguing for the queen. Now it seems that it may not be for the queen, but for the third girl."

"No wonder..." Lin Daiyu suddenly realized.

If it was said that what Grandmother Jia asked Yuanyang to tell her today was just to show off her power, Lin Daiyu still thought that this aunt was too stupid.

But if it is to take the opportunity to firmly control the capable concubine who is becoming increasingly difficult to control, then this makes sense.

Li Wan had told herself before that it was not her idea to stand up for her, but Tanchun had secretly hinted to Li Wan to intervene in order to save the situation.

He was such a thoughtful and smart man, but today he watched Aunt Zhao humiliate others in person without saying a word to advise her. I guess he was blinded by interests for a while.

——Mrs. Wang must have secretly told Aunt Zhao that whether she started from her own side or asked Yuanchun for help, she would definitely find a good marriage for Tanchun.

In this case, Aunt Zhao would have to try her best to pull Tanchun to stand on Lady Wang's side instead of herself and Li Wan.

But now that Tanchun has completely and utterly lost her "face" in front of her, from now on, no matter how Mrs. Wang treats her, she will have to endure it.

"The daughter of a concubine is miserable." Wang Xifeng sighed softly, "The girls in our family are said to have grown up with the old lady and are free.

"In fact, they all make a living under the Second Mistress. Fortunately, the Second Mistress herself leads a rich life, so she has never been too harsh on them.

"Among them, Tanchun is different. The second girl has the dignity of the first house, the fourth girl has the dignity of the East Palace, and what does Tanchun have? She is a thorn in the wife's heart.

"Her birthday and Baoyu's birthday are less than a year apart. I heard that the mistress had just finished her confinement and made some concessions, so the master went to stay in Aunt Zhao's room for a month!"

Lin Daiyu was annoyed: "Second sister-in-law, why don't you speak politely? Why do you say these things to a girl like me?!"

Fengjie was startled and quickly turned around and slapped her mouth: "Ouch! Look at me! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Then he smiled and said, "Actually, I have made my point clear. My sister is very smart, so she will understand.

"Among the girls in our family, the third girl is the best. If you ask me, if you are mad at anyone, don't be mad at her. If you don't help anyone, you should help her."

Lin Daiyu laughed and tilted her head to look at her: "This is not the second sister-in-law's usual temperament. Why don't you let your sister help you?"

"Oh! You haven't helped me yet?! Today, in front of the old lady and the first lady, you have decided on our family's title for me. My life will be smooth sailing from now on, and I have nothing to worry about!

"If this isn't considered help, how else can I expect you to help me? Help me to be the empress or the emperor!?" Wang Xifeng slapped her thigh in shock.

Daiyu covered her mouth and laughed: "Forget it, my second sister-in-law is willing to understand my feelings and help the sisters at home. This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a person. I must give her this face."

"Oh my, that would make me so proud!"

"Then please ask the second sister-in-law to go back and tell the third sister that I have repaid the favor I did to you. I have also avenged the inappropriateness today. It's all in this matter.

"If she understands, she will thank me. If she doesn't understand, she will hate me. It doesn't matter to me. It's up to her. As for the future, it's still far away. Let's walk slowly and see what happens."

Lin Daiyu said with a smile, Wang Xifeng listened attentively, and then smiled again: "Okay. I'll take note of it.

"There is one more thing I need to tell my sister: our eldest wife is a left-wing person. If she offends you in the future, you must not argue with her. Just let someone tell me and I will clean up the mess for her!"

"Is there anything else?" Lin Daiyu looked at Wang Xifeng with a smile.

Wang Xifeng's heart trembled, and she waved her hand generously: "It's gone!"

"Then don't talk anymore. You take a rest, and I'll be able to keep my ears quiet for a while." Lin Daiyu leaned directly into the car and covered her face with a handkerchief.

But given Wang Xifeng's personality, how could she really remain silent?

He leaned against the wall of the carriage and thought for a while, then said, "Your yard is remote, and your sister-in-law has moved out, so there are even fewer people. How about I pick a few strong and sturdy maids to keep watch for you at night?"

"Okay, thank you, second sister-in-law."

After a while, he continued, "My uncle gave me a basket of southern fruit the other day. It has a unique fragrance and is called mango. I'll bring it back to my sister as an offering."

"No, keep it for yourself."

After a while, he asked again, "When the aunt from the palace comes, I'm afraid she will have to prepare special food for you. Should I ask someone to clean up the kitchen in Lixiangyuan tomorrow and then pick a cook specifically for you?"

"Or you can ask Xiaohong. Her mother will definitely know which one has the best skills. Tell me when the time comes and I'll call you right away... Oh, here we are!"

Lin Daiyu immediately put her hands together and chanted, "Amitabha! It's finally here! I'm almost dying from all the chatter! I really don't know how grandma puts up with you!"

He quickly got out of the car and went into the yard, without even looking back, and ordered someone to: Close the gate quickly!

Wang Xifeng was at the back, lifting the carriage curtain and covering her mouth with her hands while laughing:

Just being like this is enough!
