Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

"So, even if Tao came to our house this time to stop Lin girl and Baoyu's marriage on his own initiative, if His Majesty knew about it, he would only applaud and would never blame him!"

After saying this in a deep voice, Jia's mother looked at the couple who had already looked dazed, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart.

Except for me, no one in the family has considered these things. This is the key to the life and death of the family! When I die, will I let Jia family slide into the abyss in a muddle-headed way?

Baoyu’s wife must be chosen carefully!

Grandmother Jia's thoughts couldn't help but drift to Lin Daiyu again.

If she could have this granddaughter as her granddaughter-in-law, at least in the matter of the Holy Heart, Jia Shi would never make a mistake again...

Unfortunately, Lin Daiyu could not stay in this family.

"Although Miss Lin cannot stay in our family forever, we must treat her well. If we can keep her for one more day, we will never let her stay for only eight hours."

Grandmother Jia only looked at Jia Zheng, but she heard every word carefully and clearly.

Jia Zheng understood his mother's intention and nodded solemnly: "My son, remember this! I will always be kind to Lin girl and will never let her down."

Mrs. Wang saw that Grandmother Jia didn't even look at her, and she couldn't help but panic. She quickly forced a flattering smile and said, "My daughter-in-law has also remembered it!"

"You don't have to. Just follow your usual habit and tell your brother everything that happened during this period, no matter how big or small, and then listen to his instructions."

After saying this coldly, Jia's mother waved her hand and ordered him and his wife to leave: "Yuanyang, prepare the medicine. I want to sleep for a while."

Mrs. Wang's face had already turned pale and blue because of what she said, and she discovered that Yuanyang had been standing beside the screen the whole time. After hearing the whole story, she felt ashamed and angry, and she stood up and left!

Jia Zheng looked at her anxious back, feeling both ashamed and angry, but he could only play dumb, so he stood up and walked out with his head down.

Not to mention how the two quarreled and made a fuss after they returned, the news that Baoyu and Daiyu's marriage had failed spread like wildfire and reached the Yihong Courtyard.

In the evening, Baoyu, who had just finished taking medicine, got up and took a walk. Looking at the lush green branches and leaves on the flower wall, he couldn't help but sit down and breathe in the fragrance.

Unexpectedly, several maids on the other side of the flower wall were heard gossiping, "guessing" from beginning to end that Tao Jian followed Daiyu's wishes and would never agree to the marriage between Baoyu and Daiyu.

Baoyu was stunned when he heard this.

After a long time, Musk Moon and others saw that he had not returned yet, so they hurried out to look for him, and then they helped him carefully back to his room.

When she returned to the room, Musk Moon felt Baoyu's hands were cold. She thought of the important news she had just heard and felt uneasy, but she didn't dare to mention it. She forced herself to smile and asked Baoyu to go to bed early.

Baoyu grabbed her hand and shed tears, "Sister Sheyue, I know that you are afraid of the old lady and the lady now, and you are afraid that you will end up like Xiren and Qiu Wen, so you don't tell me anything.

"But I have heard that the master finally agreed to the matter between Miss Lin and me, but the palace refused. I don't know whether it was Miss Lin's intention or the palace's intention. If I don't ask this question clearly, I will die with regrets."

But Musk Moon refused to give in and also cried:

"Second Master, please don't make it difficult for me. If you really want to know, I will ask the wife and the old lady to come for you, but I dare not speak on my own initiative or even let you leave the yard.

"Isn't this the reason for your recent illness? The family has been in a gloomy mood for many days, and the old lady has been taking ginseng soup every day. Madam was just able to get up today, and she is happy for a day.

"Can you be kind to them? Stop making trouble. Miss Lin has made it clear since she came back after the death of her late uncle that she and you are just cousins, and there is no marriage or love involved.

"I beg you, please let me go!"

Baoyu was helpless and could only lie down slowly and fall asleep.

Musk Moon asked all the maids to turn off the lights, and arranged for the old women to work the night shift. She stared at Baoyu's drooping bed curtains until it was almost the second watch, when she could bear it no longer and went to sleep.

But what Musk Moon didn't know was that when she fell asleep, Baoyu lifted the bed curtains, quietly got up, tiptoed out of the room, and when he reached the gate of the courtyard, he was discovered by the little maid guarding the gate:

"Second Master, where are you going so late?"

"I have to go out for a while. Your sister Musk Moon is asleep and I don't want to wake her up. It's just right, you can come with me. If you go with me, when I come back, I will ask your sister Musk Moon to take you to wait for a while."

Baoyu swore an oath to the sky.

The little maid was greedy and agreed hesitantly. She quietly opened the gate and accompanied Baoyu to Lixiang Courtyard.

September is approaching and the night wind is getting colder.

Baoyu stumbled and walked quickly all the way, and when he arrived at the gate of Lixiangyuan, he was sweating all over!

The little girl was chasing after him breathlessly, but she didn't dare to shout to stop him, so she could only chase him desperately.

"Bang bang bang!"

Looking at the gate of Lixiangyuan, Baoyu banged on the door with his fist without saying a word!

He didn't care at all how many people his actions would alarm, how much gossip they would bring, or how much damage their actions would cause to Lin Daiyu and his own reputation!

"Sister Lin! Open the door! Open the door! I am Baoyu, I have something to tell you!"

Baoyu shouted at the top of his voice!

The old woman guarding the gate had also fallen asleep. She was awakened by the shrill cry and broke out in a cold sweat. She gritted her teeth and cursed: "Damn it! In the middle of the night, who is dead and the whole family is mourning!"

After listening carefully, she found that it was Master Bao. She frowned and felt embarrassed: if she opened the door, this ancestor would definitely rush into Daiyu's bedroom and cry and make a scene. Then she would inevitably be driven out of Lixiangyuan by Aunt Meng.

If he doesn't open the door, it means that Master Bao has probably heard about the failed marriage today, and he has come here crying and complaining in desperation. He will not leave until there is a result.

If the neighbors heard about it, it would cause a big disturbance. If the old lady or the mistress heard about it, I would be in big trouble.

The old woman's mind was racing. She hurriedly got dressed and got up. She stood close to the door and whispered anxiously, "Second Master, please stop making trouble! If you come to knock on your cousin's door in the middle of the night, if it gets out, will it be said that you don't want to live anymore, or do you want to kill our girl?!"

"My life is already here, take it if you want it! I won't make it difficult for you, just go and tell Sister Lin that I have something to ask her! I will only ask her this one question! Once she answers, I will leave immediately!"

Baoyu collapsed on the ground outside, with his hands on the door, crying.

The maid quickly agreed, "Okay! Okay! I'll go ask right away, but Second Master, please stop yelling! If you yell, it will attract others. Even if the girl wants to let you in, she won't be able to do so in front of everyone!"

Baoyu felt that there was hope. He wiped his tears and said in a choked voice, "Okay! I won't shout anymore! Go quickly! I'll wait for you!"

The old woman cried out twice and ran inside, but before she reached Daiyu's bedroom, she saw Aunt Meng standing on the path with her hair loose, her clothes on, her elbows folded, looking coldly at the direction she was coming from.

The old woman was suddenly sweating all over and stopped in embarrassment.

"Let him go!"
