Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Just for a vixen, he is willing to risk his life and doesn't even care about his own life. He doesn't even remember how worried and sad his parents are!

Mrs. Wang sat in front of Baoyu's bed, looking at his pale face and weak breath, and listening to what the imperial physician said, "Anger attacks the heart, and phlegm blocks the mind." She felt more and more angry and sad. She could not help but lower her head, cover her face with a handkerchief, and cry out.

"Just tell me, is the child's illness dangerous or not? Who will recite the medical book with you?" Grandmother Jia didn't understand the medical terms and stamped her feet in anxiety. She couldn't help but urge the imperial physician who came to treat Baoyu.

The imperial physician bowed his head and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing, just calm down, take the medicine for two days, and rest. In fact, it's because you were sick before, and your foundation is still weak."

It's okay, that's all!

Grandmother Jia breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and smilingly asked someone to invite the imperial physician to go outside to prescribe medicine. She also ordered someone to go to the front to tell Jia Zheng and others that "Baoyu is fine."

At this time, except for Wang Xifeng, who was still outside accompanying the guests who came to participate in the sacrifice, the other female members of the Jia family heard that Baoyu was ill and hurried in to see him.

Grandmother Jia just called Xiren and other maids to ask about the specific situation at that time. Everyone stood outside the door, holding their breath, and heard everything clearly.

Xue Baochai remained calm, but Aunt Xue's expression became visibly uglier.

Li Wan and Tanchun happened to be on both sides of the mother and daughter. They both caught a glimpse of this change, looked at each other subconsciously, and then turned away without any expression.

Yuanyang in the room had already noticed that everyone was listening outside, so she hurriedly signaled to Grandmother Jia. Grandmother Jia noticed it, frowned in displeasure, and turned coldly to Lady Wang:

"Since Baoyu is fine, you should stop crying. I didn't let him go out because I wanted to keep him away from evil spirits.

"Today is his uncle's auspicious day, and I neglected it. You even forgot to ask him to go out and kowtow. This is the fault of both my mother and I.

"Let him take care of himself for now. When he gets better, I'll go to Lixiangyuan to pay my respects to Ruhai and Min'er's spirit tablets and say something.

"Fortunately, his sister is very generous and won't blame him. He doesn't need to feel so guilty."

They tried to interpret Baoyu's infatuation with Lin Daiyu as guilt for not being able to attend Lin Ruhai's funeral.

However, now that there is a step, who wouldn’t take advantage of it?

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to wipe her tears and reluctantly agreed, but she was still a little unwilling and added, "But the gate of Lixiang Courtyard is tightly closed. The only person who can enter the hall now is the eunuch Tao who came to watch the ceremony and give rewards. Baoyu may not be able to enter."

"It seems that there is nothing wrong with you taking charge of the household affairs yourself. You have even become more eloquent!" Jia's mother looked at Mrs. Wang coldly, snorted, and said, "Feng girl is still not well now. I think you can take charge of everything again."

"What the old lady said is very true!" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xing walked in impatiently, supported Lady Jia's arm, and said with a smile, "The other day, Miss Feng was at my place, and she fainted while talking.

"I was so panicked that I asked someone to call the imperial physician. When she woke up, she stopped me. The child was filial and said that the second wife and I were old and she could hold on without us having to worry. But I felt really sad when I saw her.

"The child has become very thin recently, and her face is sallow. I felt something was wrong, so I asked the imperial physician to see her secretly. The imperial physician prescribed a prescription and said that if she continued to work so hard, her life would be in danger!

"I was just worrying about how to talk to the Second Madam, but the Old Madam actually spoke up. Then I will shamelessly ask my brother and sister-in-law to work hard and take on the housework temporarily. If there is anything that you can't handle, or it's trivial and difficult, just send me to do it!

"Our daughter-in-law really needs to take a break! Everyone in the family knows that our daughter-in-law is better than our son. We are counting on her to give birth to heirs and support the main house. We can't let her fall again!"

As she spoke, Mrs. Xing choked up and shed a few tears.

Everyone was stunned.

Naturally, Grandmother Jia didn't really want to hand over the housework to Lady Wang, but after Lady Xing said that, she couldn't go back on her word, so she had to reluctantly ask Lady Wang: "Since your sister-in-law said so, you should do the housework for her!"

Li Wan and Tanchun frowned at the same time.

If Wang Xifeng was gone, with Mrs. Wang's stubborn character, she would probably cause a lot of trouble when dealing with the increasingly complicated affairs and interpersonal relationships in the family.

"Let's go see Feng together later." Li Wan had moved to Tanchun's side without her knowing when, and said softly.

Tanchun didn't say anything, but nodded slightly.

The crowd in Yihongyuan dispersed.

Xue Baochai walked around outside, then slowly re-entered the Yihong Courtyard through the back door.

The yard was completely silent. All the servants were working silently. Only Xiren was crying beside Baoyu's bed.

Baochai frowned.

Although she hoped that others would see her genuine concern for Baoyu, she had to do so when she was naturally relaxed, rather than forcing herself to do so in front of others.

Fortunately, after a while, Musk Moon went to persuade Xiren to go for dinner with kind words, and there was no one left by Baoyu's bed.

Baochai curled the corners of her mouth: Even God is helping me!

She walked in lightly, sat in the place where Xiren had just sat, closed her eyes and recalled her deceased father. After thinking for a while, when Baochai opened her eyes again, tears fell.

"How can I believe what the monks and Taoist priests say?! What golden marriage? I, I, I want my wooden marriage! What fate? I want to force it!"

In his dream, Baoyu pounded the edge of the bed and cried.

Baochai was stunned, her whole body was stiff for a long time, then she stood up and walked out in a daze, like a wandering ghost.

Outside the window, Musk Moon, who replaced Xiren to accompany Baoyu, listened to every word and saw every detail.

The guests in front left.

The men hurried back to their own residences and listened carefully to the whole story of Baoyu's illness.

Wang Xifeng had to go to the main courtyard first to report the details of the grand ceremony to Lady Jia. But as soon as she entered the second gate, she saw Hubo, who had been waiting there, coming to greet her with a smile.

Wang Xifeng was surprised: "Why are you guarding here?"

"I came here to wait for the Second Madam. The First Madam asked the Old Madam for mercy, saying that it was necessary to let the Second Madam take a rest and recuperate. The Old Madam and the Second Madam have already agreed.

"The previous work was done perfectly without any mistakes, so there is no need for Second Madam to go in and report now.

"The old lady asked you to go back and rest first. You should gather up all the things you have on hand today. Tomorrow morning, take everything and go to the main courtyard to report to the second wife in front of the old lady."

Amber smiled as she finished speaking, and added, "The first wife said that the first house depends on you to continue the family line; the old lady agrees very much, and our whole family is waiting for you to give birth to a big fat boy for Master Lian!"

"Forget it! What do you know? I have something to report to the ancestor immediately!" Wang Xifeng's face was solemn. She waved her hand, ordered people to bring the sedan chair over, sat on it, and went straight to the main room.
