Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

After hearing what Aunt Meng said, Liu's legs went limp and she knelt on the ground. She covered her mouth with her hands and tears streamed down her face.

Daiyu ignored her and glanced at Xiaohong first. The girl's face was still wet with tears. She sighed and waved her hand to let her go back to her room.

"Aunt has been busy for a long time, it's time to take a break. Go back to your room and have dinner first. Although Xiaohong has not yet become your disciple, you have taught her for two years. You can just decide how to guide her."

Aunt Meng raised her eyebrows.

What, Xiaohong's matter is not the most important? !

After taking a look at the Liu family, he snorted coldly, and without even letting go of Xiaohong's hand, he pulled her out again.

"Sister Liu, if you have anything to say, just tell the girl nicely. Do you think the matter can be resolved just by crying?" Zijuan frowned.

She didn't like the Liu family's behavior. The girl had just finished her meal, and if she kept these troubles in her heart, she would feel uncomfortable later.

"I, I'll tell the girl everything." Liu Jiaqiang stopped crying, wiped his tears, and spoke intermittently.

It turned out that her family was originally servants of Jia Mansion. Her maiden name was Peng, and she had only one brother, her name was Peng He, and her brother was Peng Yi. Peng Yi was now working in Rong Mansion.

Her husband Liu Xi used to work in the kitchen and was a great cook, Jia Zheng loved it the most. But after Lady Wang got married, because her trusted maid was named Lai Xi, Liu Xi, the head cook, suddenly lost his job.

Fortunately, she learned some skills from her husband and was chosen to cook for Daiyu at Lixiangyuan. Finally, the family had some hope again.

But the worst thing was that she gave birth to a beautiful daughter. Although her temperament and charm had not been cultivated by the masters in the mansion, she was as good-looking as Xi, Qing and other older maids.

After a while, someone came to propose marriage.

The most attentive and shameless family who came to the door was the Qian family.

There are three brothers in the Qian family. The eldest, Qian Sheng, married Aunt Zhao's eldest sister, and the couple worked as accounts in the treasury; the second, Qian Hua, was a comprador in the mansion, and his family was extremely wealthy; the third, Qian Qi, was one of Baoyu's four servants.

The Qian family has an only son, who is also the only male in the Qian family from this generation to the present. His name is Qian Huai. He is now a servant in the mansion and goes to school with Jia Huan.

Aunt Zhao has always loved this nephew the most, so his influence in the Jia family is considerable.

He came to ask for marriage. Although he was ugly, his family background was much higher than that of the Liu family and the Peng family. He was rich and had a bright future. Therefore, the Liu couple agreed after some thought.

But on the one hand, Liu Wu'er looked down on this toad no matter what; secondly, Wu'er's four brothers had heard that Qian Huai was a wicked bastard who relied on Jia Huan and Aunt Zhao to be domineering, so how could they let their delicate sister go to his house to suffer?

The sons disagreed, and the daughter refused to agree even more; what's more, after seeing her serving Daiyu, Baoyu actually agreed to let Wu'er work in the Yihong Courtyard, so this marriage naturally became even more impossible.

Then Grandmother Jia spoke, saying that the Liu family had to follow Lin Daiyu, and from then on the Liu family had nothing to do with the Jia family and became servants of the Lin family.

Qian Huai almost immediately asked the matchmaker to come again and said fiercely: "Do you think you can escape from my control by leaving the Jia Mansion? You are wrong! Once you leave the mansion, I don't have to worry about anything!

"Send Wu'er here safely, and everything will be fine. Otherwise, I'll make your whole family come to fight!"

The Liu family was in a panic, and several brothers of the Liu family were ready to fight Qian Huai with knives and sticks! Liu Xi was also so angry that his eyes turned red. He wanted to complain to Lady Jia and Daiyu, and he wanted to turn the world upside down!

It was the Liu family who cried and stopped her husband and son: "They are still grandparents and grandchildren a hundred years later! They are royal relatives, who are we?! Miss Lin can distinguish right from wrong, but she may not be able to distinguish right from wrong for servants!

"What's more, Wu'er had worked in Yihong Courtyard before, even though it was only for a few days, he actually violated Miss Lin's taboo!

"Let's follow Miss Lin. Once we get there, we'll just work diligently in the mansion and not go anywhere else! No matter how capable that Qian is, there's no reason for him to go to the lady's mansion and act wildly.

"Wait a few years, and when they are rich and powerful, they will naturally be able to marry someone better and let Wu'er go. We can then quietly marry Wu'er off and let the matter pass quietly, isn't that good?"

He tried his best to stop the Liu family's men.

But a few days ago, Liu's family received a letter from her brother Peng Yi: his job was gone. Not only that, his son's leg was inexplicably broken. Although it has been reattached, whether he will be lame or not is up to fate.

When Liu Jia said this, she became even more sad. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief, afraid that she would burst into tears, and cried, "This is the only descendant of our Peng family. If anything happens to him, how can I face my brothers and sisters-in-law?

"But I can't push my daughter into the fire pit. And I dare not let the master know. God knows these days, my heart is like boiling oil!"

Lin Daiyu listened indifferently.

In her previous life, Liu Wu'er did not get to enter the Grand View Garden. She was even instructed by Aunt Zhao to have Caiyun whisper in Lady Wang's ear, saying that she was going to team up with Fang Guan and others to harm Baoyu, thus becoming a disaster in disguise.

I guess Qian Huai must have succeeded in the end.

But in this life, no matter how selfish the Liu family is, and no matter how many ambitions Liu Wu'er has for fame and fortune, she will not let things happen again.

"Originally, if you had told me about this earlier, I would have told my grandmother or the third lady, and it would have been over.

“However, you kept it a secret.

"Do you know that two hours ago, our manager Jiang was beaten by Qian Huai and his men at the main restaurant of my Lin family. The restaurant was also smashed.

"Manager Jiang almost lost his life. I'm afraid he will have to lie down for a month or two. During this period, no one will take care of my business.

"You think you have implicated your brother. With your cowardice, you have not only implicated your brother, but also Manager Jiang, and even me!

"Now that this is the situation, tell me, how can I face the Third Miss? How can I tell her that I promised to let the Third Master come to my place to study and cultivate his character, but now it is no longer valid?!"

Liu's kneeling on the ground, stunned, stammering: "Slave, slave didn't think so much...slave didn't expect that Qian Huai would be so crazy as to hurt people in the street?!"

Lin Daiyu smiled coldly: "And my restaurant's business, which brought in at least two thousand taels today, was ruined by him."

The Liu family was choked.

Zijuan couldn't help it and secretly glanced at Daiyu.

She remembered that although Shopkeeper Zhu was beating his chest and stamping his feet, he seemed to be talking about half of the guests in the lobby not paying their bills. How could that be, two thousand taels? !

"If this affects the reputation of my restaurant, and dignitaries are afraid to dine there, I will lose a lot of revenue. You can do the math."

Lin Daiyu looked at the Liu family calmly, "Sister Liu, please go and ask Qian Huai in person, is he doing this just for your daughter, or for something else?

“You let him name a price and tell you what he wants.

"Don't say I asked you to ask."

Liu's face was timid: "Why am I asking this?"

"Then are you going to ask?" Lin Daiyu's eyes revealed a hint of coldness.

Liu Jia hurriedly lowered her head and said, "Yes! Go! I will go right away!"
