Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Since you have decided to leave, there is no need to create unnecessary trouble at this time.

Lin Daiyu and Aunt Meng remained silent about Baoyu's disturbance in the middle of the night, which was considered as acknowledging the ridiculous excuse that Wang Xifeng hastily gave: the sequelae of being possessed by evil spirits.

However, when Baoyu returned to Yihong Courtyard and got off the sedan chair at the gate of the courtyard, he found a figure standing in front of the gate waiting for him.

Thinking it was Musk Moon, Baoyu walked forward listlessly with his head lowered.

"Stop." A figure spoke, it was Jia Zheng.

Baoyu took a deep breath and his body shook unconsciously!

I raised my head nervously, intending to secretly take a look at my father's face, but I was greeted with a slap in the face!

"You beast! Go back to your own yard. Except for paying your respects to the old lady every day, you are not allowed to leave the yard again! Study hard. If you can't pass the exam to become a scholar, you will die in this yard!" Jia Zheng said with gritted teeth, threw down his sleeves, and strode away.

Baoyu, with half of his face burning, covered his face with his hands, lowered his head, and walked into the courtyard step by step.

In the yard, on the ground, there were six people lying on a bench in a row with their mouths blocked. They were two gatekeepers, two night shift maids, a gatekeeper maid, and Tan Yun.

Si'er and another maid were crying as they helped Tan Yun, whose face was covered in cold sweat and who had difficulty walking, down from the stool and sent her back to her room.

All the others were lying on their chairs, their skin torn and bloody, barely alive. As for the little girl guarding the gate, she was breathing more out than in.

Baoyu was so frightened by the bloody scene before him that he stood there frozen, unable to move.

A group of wives and old women suddenly rushed in from behind Baoyu, two people grabbed one of them, and dragged the remaining five people out regardless of their life or death.

A group of people passed by him.

Seeing the pale faces of the maids and women who had fainted, and the bloodstains dragging on the ground, Baoyu felt a black screen in front of his eyes and a chill all over his body!

"Second Master, you have always been the one who pities your subordinates the most, and you have always cherished human life the most! Can you stop making trouble? Can you give us servants a chance to live?! Xiren is gone, Qiu Wen and Bi Hen are gone, and Tan Yun took the blame for me, but that's it. Who's next? Me?!"

Musk Moon knelt straight in front of Baoyu and questioned him with red eyes.

Baoyu sat stiffly on the bed, raised his head, half of his face was swollen, and looked at Sheyue blankly, smiling sadly: "Okay, I'll listen to you, I'll listen to the master and the mistress. I'll study, take the exams for the scholar, the juren, the jinshi, marry, have children, and be a... good person."

After saying this, he leaned back, spread his arms, fell on the bed, stared at the ceiling, and murmured: "The sweet nest has been built in March, the swallows on the beams are too ruthless. Although they can peck at the flowers next year, they don't know that the empty nest will fall when people leave...

"The green lamp shines on the wall, and people are just falling asleep. The cold rain knocks on the window, and the quilt is not warm. I blame my servant for making me so upset, half because I pity spring, and half because I am annoyed with spring. My pity for spring comes suddenly, and my annoyance with spring goes suddenly. When it comes, I have no words to say, and when it goes, I have no news...

"You bury flowers today and people laugh at you as a fool, but who will bury you next year? Look at the flowers gradually falling in the waning spring, that is when the beauty grows old and dies; once spring is over, the beauty grows old, and the flowers fall and the person dies, no one knows..."

After reading it, he turned over and cried on the pillow!

This cry was heart-wrenching and heartbreaking. The cuckoo wept blood and the sky was dark.

Musk Moon knew that his years of love had given up in one day, and it was as painful as plucking out his heart, and she became discouraged. She wiped her tears and stood up, helped him lie down, pulled up his boots and covered him with the quilt, and then sat on the footstool beside the bed to accompany him.

Baoyu was tired of crying, and felt a heavy head and stuffy nose, which showed that he was ill again. Sheyue felt that his head was hot, so she ordered someone to boil some hot medicine for him to drink, and covered herself with a quilt to keep from sweating.

At dawn, Jia's mother and Wang Fu-ren heard that Baoyu had a fever again, so they hurried to see him. However, Baoyu was kowtowing on the bed: "I am much better now. Grandfather and Madam, please don't worry about me. I acted foolishly last night. I am afraid that I have caused great trouble to the family. I have lost my mind..."

In a blink of an eye, she saw Wang Xifeng standing behind her. She looked up and nodded slightly at her: "Sister Feng, please go to Lixiangyuan and apologize to me and cousin Lin. I was just daydreaming before, but now I have come to my senses. I just wish her a bright future!"

After saying that, he lay back down, saying that he felt dizzy and tired and wanted to continue sleeping.

Grandmother Jia and Mrs. Wang looked at each other and had to leave, and told Wang Xifeng to do as Baoyu said.

After a while, Li Wan, Baochai, Xiangyun and other sisters came to visit Baoyu.

Musk Moon hurriedly came out with a smile and said, "It's time to go to bed." The few of them sat for a while and then said goodbye.

Musk Moon saw that no one was paying attention, quietly pulled Tanchun aside, and handed her a piece of paper: "Miss San, please stand for a moment. This is what Master Bao wrote this morning. Although I know a few words, I know that he read it once last night while crying, but I can't understand what it means. Is this paper in any way?"

Tanchun took it and looked at it. It was an ancient style song, but it was not coherent from beginning to end, as if it was... a fragment?

Tanchun didn't understand either. She frowned and folded it up: "I'll take it and take a closer look."

"Third Miss!" When Musk Moon saw that she was about to take it away, she got a little flustered and tried to stop her.

Seeing her expression, Tanchun smiled and said, "I think the tone and voice of this poem is not like my second brother's usual writing style, but more like Sister Lin's style. It just so happens that I also want to go see her, I will take it to ask her.

"Don't worry. When your second brother wakes up, tell him. I saw it on the table and took it away."

When she walked out of the courtyard, she saw Li Wan standing not far away waiting for her, so she hurried over.

"Girl Feng has gone to Lixiangyuan." Li Wan winked.

Tanchun hesitated: "I want to go there too."

"There is no time to lose. Let's go there now. Maybe we can really see her." Li Wan immediately turned around and walked out of the garden with Tanchun.

Lixiangyuan.

Wang Xifeng came and brought apologies from Lady Jia, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang and Baoyu.

Daiyu remained silent, but when she heard Baoyu's words, her eyebrows slightly raised.

"Oh, your baby even apologizes with resentment!" Aunt Meng sneered.

Wang Xifeng smiled and looked at Daiyu: "Sister, Madam has punished people severely, and the master has also said that Baoyu will be detained until he can get a scholar.

"It is indeed Baoyu who did something wrong, and my family can't think of a more sincere way to apologize. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask. I'll take it back and tell the old lady, is that okay?"

"No need for that. What's past is past. Just don't make the same mistake again in the future." Daiyu said indifferently.

Wang Xifeng heaved a sigh of relief and smiled: "Sister is really magnanimous. There is one more thing I want to tell you..."

As they were talking, someone outside came to report: "The eldest lady and the third lady are here. They said they want to see Miss Lin. I wonder if Miss Lin is willing to see them?"

Lin Daiyu couldn't help but glance at Aunt Meng.

Aunt Meng frowned unhappily.

"Forget it. Please invite them in." Lin Daiyu glanced at Wang Xifeng and smiled, "It will be fun at least."
