Quick Transmigration: Start killing from The Legend of Zhen Huan!
Chapter 922: Dream of the Red Chamber, Lin Daiyu (85)
The Xu family was overjoyed upon hearing the news.
They never dreamed that Lin Ruhai would have a noble title.
Her own daughter became the wife of the Duke of Jin.
His own grandson has also become a young master.
This change in identity was completely unexpected for them.
They immediately instructed their servants to prepare generous congratulatory gifts to be sent to the Duke of Jin's residence.
however.
After hearing this news, the Jia family...
Aside from the fact that the eldest son's family members were genuinely happy for Lin Ruhai and his daughter.
Grandmother Jia and the people from the second branch of the family all felt that the news was wrong.
After all, everyone knows that the Emperor had long intended to strip the noble titles.
How could they possibly bestow new titles upon them?
So they sent out several groups of servants to inquire about the news.
They returned one by one to report that the information was correct.
Lord Lin has indeed become the Duke of Jin.
“Grandmother, since it is an imperial decree, how could it be false news?”
Jia Yuanchun said softly, "You don't need to confirm it anymore."
Let's prepare a gift.
I'll definitely go to the Duke of Jin's residence to offer my congratulations later.
"You go ahead."
Grandmother Jia's expression was still somewhat unpleasant.
No matter how uncomfortable she felt, she couldn't change anything.
The thought that his family would have to follow in his footsteps was unbearable.
How could she possibly go to the Jin State's residence and embarrass herself?
He directly ordered, "Find a few more good things and send them over."
No matter what, they're relatives.
It would be bad if the two families became estranged.
So that someone else doesn't get the better deal.
Everyone could understand what she meant.
The housekeeper, Madam Wang, looked troubled. "Madam, what good things do we have in the house?"
The daughter-in-law didn't know how to give a gift.
However, let's leave this matter to my sister-in-law to handle.
When the two families separate, the eldest son's family will definitely prepare a congratulatory gift.
However, outsiders know that the Rongguo Mansion is a unified entity.
The eldest wife congratulated him; it didn't matter whether the second wife gave him anything or not.
Whether the Lin family would find it strange was none of her business.
Anyway, she doesn't like the Lin family.
She believed that given the Lin family's nature, they would never reveal such a thing.
"Preparation is necessary."
Grandmother Jia's face immediately darkened.
She could see right through her daughter-in-law's plans.
My mood got even worse.
Unable to contain his anger, he retorted, "What? You're not even offering a wedding gift now, and you expect to ask your family for help later?"
Do you want to ruin Yuan Chun and Bao Yu?
"What are you saying, Madam?"
Madam Wang was immediately displeased, "How could my daughter-in-law possibly ruin Yuan Chun and Bao Yu?"
They are my children, a brother and sister.
How could I possibly do such a thing?
"That's exactly what you're doing right now."
Grandmother Jia glared at her angrily, "Do you have the ability to find Yuan Chun a good marriage?"
You know perfectly well that you'll need other people's help in the future.
What you're doing is ruining Yuan Chun!"
"It's not like we don't send congratulatory gifts."
Madam Wang's face flushed and paled alternately. "Wouldn't it be the same if my sister-in-law sent it over?"
Besides, the daughter-in-law had no choice.
The gifts bestowed by the emperor in the past have long been taken away.
The daughter-in-law only had a few items left, and she still needed to provide Yuan Chun with more dowry and betrothal gifts.
If all these things are given away.
What will happen to Yuan Chun and Bao Yu in the future?
The daughter-in-law was also thinking of the two children.
In the end, she couldn't help but feel aggrieved.
"you……"
Grandmother Jia was almost driven to her death by the person in front of her.
She has so many good things in her possession, she wouldn't know it herself.
Not to mention that she was a member of the Wang family who married into the family with a grand dowry.
Just look at how many good things she amassed during the more than ten years she held power in the Rongguo Mansion.
Even if they take away the imperial gifts she had embezzled.
She also has quite a few good things in her possession.
Not to mention putting together one congratulatory message, it wouldn't be a problem to put together ten.
But she refused to pay a single cent.
It's practically a mythical creature that only takes in and never gives out.
"If we don't want to prepare, then we don't have to."
Grandmother Jia sneered, "Do whatever you want."
From now on, you'll have to handle your own affairs.
Don't come looking for this old woman anymore.
I'm an old woman who's lived almost my whole life, and I don't have many days left.
Why bother with so many things?
"Alright, everyone, you can all leave."
"Grandmother, may I stay and keep you company?"
Jia Yuanchun sighed inwardly and said softly, "I still have a lot to say to you, Grandmother."
"No need."
Grandmother Jia was somewhat disheartened.
She's not stupid; she knows what kind of character the grandchildren of her second wife, whom she's spoiled her whole life, are.
She knew perfectly well what was going on.
Right now, I just want some peace and quiet and don't want anyone to bother me.
Everyone could see that Grandmother Jia was indeed unwilling to talk to anyone.
Everyone could only bow and leave.
Step out of the courtyard.
Li Wan took her leave first.
Jia Yuanchun accompanied Lady Wang to the main courtyard.
"There is no silver in the public treasury, nor any good stuff."
Madam Wang was also very angry. "Your grandmother is so good at making me pay for everything."
No matter how much my dowry is, it won't be enough to cover this kind of expense.
She, on the other hand, hoards everything and won't let go of anything.
What could I do?
"Mother, if you don't want to go, then don't go."
Jia Yuanchun gently reassured her, "My daughter doesn't think it's anything."
The Lin family won't bother with it.
Just as my mother said, my aunt will definitely send her congratulations.
As members of the Rongguo Mansion, there's no need for us to prepare two sets.
Grandma is overthinking it.
"Actually, what your grandmother said makes some sense."
Madam Wang gave a bitter smile, "But..."
I refuse to bow down to the Lin family.
Your aunt looked down on me back then and was always finding fault with me.
I can never forget the humiliation she inflicted on me.
"Mother, thank you for all the hardships you've endured in the past."
Jia Yuanchun's tone was very soft, "If you don't want to feel wronged, then don't feel wronged."
The daughter couldn't bear to see her mother suffer.
The daughter only wants her mother to be happy.
"Yuan Chun!"
Madam Wang grasped her daughter's hand, her eyes brimming with tears, "My poor child."
I shouldn't have sent you to the palace in the first place.
Now I'm a burden to you.
"Mother, your daughter is not blessed with this."
Jia Yuanchun's tone was somewhat somber, "I thought that with my beauty and intelligence, I would surely become a concubine in the harem."
I never imagined the imperial harem could be so cruel.
Of the women who went in with their daughters, few survived.
Not to mention wanting to become a concubine.
My daughter was able to become a lady-in-waiting in the Imperial Concubine's palace because of her family background in the Rongguo Mansion and the money that you, Mother, sent to the palace.
I thought I finally had a chance.
Unexpectedly…
She couldn't continue speaking before she could finish her sentence.
Now she knows she made a terrible mistake.
He ruined his own path to advancement in the palace.
but……
It was her own decision, and she didn't know who to hate.
Should we hate the Xue family?
Knowing full well that his cousin Xue deserved his punishment, he still thought of taking advantage of the opportunity.
In the end, not only did he fail to move the emperor and gain his favor, he also offended the Imperial Concubine.
I was lucky to escape the palace without being punished.
But she was unwilling to give up.
She always felt that she shouldn't leave the palace, as she had the opportunity to become one of the emperor's concubines.
The more she thought about these things, the more restricted she felt.
Therefore, one should find a marriage partner for oneself within the family.
She was unwilling from the bottom of her heart.
"Yuan Chun, you...you don't want to leave the palace, do you?"
