Quick Transmigration: Start killing from The Legend of Zhen Huan!

Chapter 889: Dream of the Red Chamber, Lin Daiyu (52)

"grandmother."

Just moments ago, Jia Baoyu had been acting like a rogue and a scoundrel, but now he had transformed into a well-behaved boy.

With a face full of grievance, she tugged at Grandmother Jia's sleeve and acted coquettishly, "This is the first time Baoyu has met his cousin from the Lin family."

Why didn't you keep her here?

Baoyu likes her, could you please let her stay?

"Is it because I don't want to stay?"

Mentioning this incident only fueled Grandmother Jia's anger. "You brat, how dare you act so violently in my presence? Do you even respect me as your grandmother?"

"Grandmother, you can't blame Baoyu, okay?"

Jia Baoyu looked indignant. "That old hag dared to disrespect me and even prevented her grandson from seeing his cousin."

If Baoyu doesn't beat her, who will he beat?

Grandmother, I love my cousin so much.

Next time you send someone to pick her up, don't let that old hag come along.

Her grandson doesn't like her and won't let her visit.

"You make it sound so simple."

Grandmother Jia glared at him, annoyed. "She's a rank-bearing matron."

"She has a rank, but what about my sister?"

Jia Baoyu looked unconvinced and said, "Isn't my elder sister a lady-in-waiting in the palace?"

What rank is the eldest sister?

"Your eldest sister is a fifth-rank official in the Imperial Guard."

Grandmother Jia couldn't help but sigh softly, "She was a lady-in-waiting to the Imperial Concubine."

My main job is to organize the books and items in the study.

"You're only a fifth-rank attendant, elder sister?"

Jia Baoyu was a little incredulous, "That old codger is actually a third-rank official?"

How come she's of a higher rank than her older sister?

"of course."

Grandmother Jia responded, "She is the head maidservant by the Empress's side, so her rank is definitely higher than your sister's."

Moreover, as people serving the Empress Dowager and the Empress, their rank was higher than that of the stewards and ladies-in-waiting serving the other concubines.

This is something that is tacitly accepted within the palace.

"Humph!"

Jia Baoyu looked unconvinced, "Anyway, I don't like her."

She is forbidden from coming to our house from now on.

"Stop talking nonsense."

Grandmother Jia glared at him again, but couldn't bring herself to say anything to him.

Then his cold gaze swept over Madam Wang.

Madam Wang couldn't help but stiffen for a moment.

Meeting Grandmother Jia's gaze, he forced an awkward smile, "Madam, what do you think..."

"What are you looking at, you old woman?"

Grandmother Jia's anger flared up again. "When did the threshold of our Jia family become so high?"

Even the legitimate daughter of a third-rank official had to go through the back door to enter the Rongguo Mansion.

"Are only royalty and nobles worthy of entering your house?"

"The old lady has misunderstood her daughter-in-law."

Regardless of whether she was losing face, Madam Wang explained with a wry smile, "No matter how bold my daughter-in-law is, she would never do such a thing."

It has been quite a few years since any distinguished guests have visited.

We're all used to people coming to our house walking at the back.

This time, the daughter-in-law truly hadn't considered this point and forgot to remind the gatekeeper to invite the guests in.

"Whether you've forgotten or not, you know the answer yourself."

Grandmother Jia did not believe the other party's explanation, saying, "As long as you know the consequences, that's enough."

"Yes, my daughter-in-law knows."

Madam Wang dared not say anything more.

As for what she's really thinking, only she knows.

"One last thing."

Grandmother Jia's face showed shame and indignation. "From now on, no matter which maid or servant dares to call our Rongguo Mansion's young ladies 'Miss' again."

They were all slapped, sent away to be sold.

When my daughter Min'er was at her parents' home, she was always called "Miss" by everyone.

"Girl" or "girl" is what ordinary people call a maid.

It's that kind of place...

The rest of the words were left unsaid.

But everyone present knew that.

In particular, a look of shame and resentment appeared in Sanchun's eyes.

It's obvious that they hate someone.

……

Lixiangyuan.

"I really didn't expect this..."

Xue Baochai looked like she had something on her mind.

She looked at the person next to her, "Mother, why did Aunt do this?"

Even if she disliked her cousin from the Lin family, she didn't need to do something like having someone else walk behind her.

"Her."

Xue shook her head gently, "When I'm smart, I'm smart; when I'm confused, I'm just that confused."

What's the point of humiliating Miss Lin just to spite the old lady?

Who is he to be humiliated?

In the end, she was the one who suffered the most and lost face.

"Yes, Auntie is really..."

As a junior, Xue Baochai felt it was inappropriate to say too much.

Then another thing came to mind.

A look of confusion crossed her face. "Mother, actually, we all know."

Anyone with a bit of status and wealth would have their servants treat their daughters with respect, addressing them as "Miss".

Why did the concubine instruct the servants in the mansion to address the serious young lady as "Miss"?

Isn't this a slap in the face?

It's not like she doesn't have a daughter.

If this gets out, it will affect my older cousin too!

"I just told you that she's prone to making silly mistakes."

Aunt Xue shook her head. "She thought she could get back at the concubine's daughter in the household."

But they never considered that we would all prosper together or suffer together.

Anything that happens in the Rongguo Mansion brings shame upon the entire Jia family.

"Mother, even if Auntie has misunderstood."

Xue Baochai then asked, "And what about the old lady?"

The daughter didn't believe that the old lady was unaware of this.

Why didn't she stop it? On the contrary, she indulged the servants of the Jia family.

Some servants act even more arrogantly than their masters.

They also expect their young masters to listen to the opinions of their servants.

It truly lived up to the saying, "Neither slave nor master."

"Isn't this a reversal of the Heavenly Gang?"

"Since you can see these things."

Aunt Xue countered, "Then guess what kind of person the old lady is?"

……

Lin House.

"I think the old lady of the Jia family is just senile."

Granny Zhao directly complained, "This is simply playing with the reputation of the young lady of the household."

I don't know why she indulges those lackeys so much.

"Yes, I can't figure it out either."

Liu Xu nodded in agreement, "If it were any other matriarchal family, how could she allow her servants to treat her granddaughter like that?"

"Either you get beaten to death, or you get sold off."

Chanjuan asked naively, "Miss, do you know?"

"Know!"

Li Siqi did not stop them from talking.

After all, the more they understand, the more they will wholeheartedly support their choices in the future.

It doesn't matter whether others understand or not.

She didn't want the people around her to think she was cold-blooded and heartless.

However, she wouldn't say it directly, but would simply reply, "Granny Liu should know why."

As she finished speaking...

All eyes were on Granny Liu.

Granny Liu appeared quite composed and nodded to them, saying, "This servant does indeed know what happened."

"Granny, please tell me quickly."

"Granny, please tell us about it."

"Yes, Granny, what's wrong with Old Madam Jia?"

"Please explain it to us, Granny."

……

Several maids spoke up one after another.

"Since you want to know, I'll tell you."

Granny Liu smiled and looked at Li Siqi, "Please let Miss know if what I said is correct."

"it is good."

Li Siqi did not refuse.
