Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

"What is this?!" Wang Xifeng looked at the paper that Daiyu handed to her. It was covered with words. She could only vaguely recognize a few names, such as Caiyun, Yu Xin, Tian Ma, Zhang Ma, etc.

Lin Daiyu smiled and pointed at the top and said, "The three lines at the top are those who are determined to be with the Zhao family, relatives and friends, and have an inseparable relationship;

"These four people in the middle have received favors from Aunt Zhao, so they promised to help if anything happened.

"The rest are all people that the Zhao family has found fault with, and they can threaten them to do one or two things."

Wang Xifeng was horrified. She clutched the paper tightly and stood up with a pale face: "How did this thing end up in your hands?"

Daiyu smiled slightly, straightened her back, and tapped her fingers lightly on the table:

"I didn't deal with Qian Huai right away because I wanted him to think that his marriage with Liu Wu'er would be successful. That afternoon, I asked the Liu family to go to him to exchange the token of engagement.

"That fool was so happy that he took out the most valuable jade pendant that Aunt Zhao had given him.

"I will have the Liu family take the jade pendant and rush to the farm where Aunt Zhao is imprisoned, saying that the Qian family is in imminent danger, and then forge this piece of paper."

Wang Xifeng bit her lips tightly and said nothing.

Lin Daiyu looked at her and suddenly smiled, saying, "My people saw the wonderful show at Zhuangzi. Was it your work? Or was it the Second Madam's decision?"

"The good show on Zhuangzi? I don't know." Wang Xifeng's knuckles turned white. She pretended to be confused and ignorant. Her eyes rolled around, glanced elsewhere, and sat down again.

Lin Daiyu shook her head and said, "Sister Feng, the one who went to do the work was your companion. The next day, he returned to the mansion and was ordered to go back to the south to "visit my father-in-law" at noon.

"If you don't tell me the truth, you will have to bear the blame no matter what!"

Wang Xifeng stared into space with unfocused eyes for a long time, then suddenly smiled miserably, threw the piece of paper lightly back on the table, and said dejectedly, "Before leaving, you came to say goodbye to me. You said you were afraid you wouldn't be able to come back.

"I was so angry that I almost beat him to death with my own hands, so he told me that my aunt had not killed Aunt Zhao, but was actually using her to do several things..."

Daiyu looked at Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng looked at Daiyu and said with a wry smile, "I can't go on."

"No need for that." Daiyu curled her lips slightly, glanced out the window, then smiled and took the paper back. She folded it carefully, turned around and took a small box from the bookshelf, put the paper in, and locked it.

Then, looking at Wang Xifeng with a distorted expression, she smiled and said, "Mrs. Zhou Rui happens to be on the farm as well. Many of the Second Wife's things are done by Zhou Rui, so she lives a very comfortable life on the farm.

"It would be fine if it was the wife's chambermaid, but it was your chambermaid. Mrs. Zhou Rui naturally acted as if she didn't trust him, and during the struggle, they were seen. So, Aunt Zhao was rescued.

"The fool Zhou Ruijia finally realized that she had ruined the Second Wife's good deeds. That night, she fled from the manor."

Wang Xifeng leaned over and held onto the table, her face filled with fear as she stammered, "How many people did sister send? Didn't you say it was just one from the Liu family?"

"The Liu family has four sons and one daughter. If the mother wants to do something so dangerous, how can her son not follow her?"

Lin Daiyu smiled relaxedly, "So, Sister Feng should have guessed it. I used Zhou Rui's family to transfer Zhou Rui and her son and daughter. Now this whole family is in my hands."

He paused, looked out the window again, and smiled again, "Of course, not in my house."

"Where did you send them?" Wang Xifeng was shaking all over, her hands and feet were cold. "You didn't hand them over to Prisoner Tao, did you?"

Daiyu leaned over and asked softly, "What do you think?"

Wang Xifeng looked at her steadily, then suddenly stood up and respectfully knelt down to her: "My dear sister, could you please tell me what I should do?"

"What you should do depends on what you want." Daiyu accepted her greeting calmly and stood up: "Think about it first, I will go out to see how Third Sister is doing."

Daiyu left the dumbfounded Wang Xifeng alone in the room, and gracefully lifted the curtain and walked out of the room.

In the yard, Tanchun stood there with a pale face and no movement. Shishu and Cuimo were right behind her, tears streaming down their cheeks.

Xiaohong was standing not far away. When she saw Daiyu coming out, she nodded slightly.

Daiyu walked up to Tanchun with a smile and said, "Third sister, I can guess that you are a person who wants everything. So, are you willing to listen to my arrangements?"

Tanchun stared at her steadily, but after a few breaths, she laughed, tears falling as she laughed: "Okay! I'll listen to you! Although I want everything, the first thing I want is that person's life!"

Seeing her gritting her teeth, Daiyu smiled softly. At this moment, Qingwen came hurriedly outside and whispered something into Daiyu's ear.

Daiyu looked at Tanchun and said, "You go back first and stay here peacefully. Tomorrow you can send a message to the old lady and invite them to come over and sit and enjoy the plum blossoms.

"The date is set on the twenty-fourth day of the first lunar month."

Tanchun hesitated: "Who do you want to invite?"

"Everyone, please." Daiyu smiled, her eyebrows raised high, "Since you are here, you should show yourself. I have money here, just spend 18,000 yuan and prepare a beautiful and comprehensive banquet for me, that's all!"

He chuckled, took two steps forward, almost sticking to Tanchun, and said softly, "Don't forget. The first reason I asked you to come here is to do that important thing. Today is the sixteenth, and you only have seven days to lay the groundwork!"

Tanchun's eyes widened and she said in a lost voice, "You really want to..."

"That's right. It's a great opportunity, why shouldn't I use it?" Lin Daiyu smiled and patted Tanchun on the shoulder. "Go back and send me the Rong Mansion's marriage list that you compiled. This link is extremely important and can't be missed."

Tanchun bit her lower lip, and her usual coldness finally flashed in her eyes. She nodded vigorously: "Okay!" and immediately said goodbye and left.

Daiyu looked at her back and sighed, "What a pity! This background will ruin her life."

Qingwen came closer and whispered, "Jiang Yong is back, bringing a bunch of hooligans with him, making a lot of noise in the front yard. The Third Master wanted to go out to see what was going on, but Xiao Chan stopped him. He got so angry that he almost slapped Xiao Chan in the face."

"He doesn't dare. He came here because of his sister, and he knows it very well. If he dares to touch his sister's girl, given his sister's temper, she will beat him up right away."

Daiyu smiled, turned back to her room, and asked Wang Xifeng again, "Second sister-in-law, have you heard everything? What do you think? Do you want to help us?"
