Red Mansion: Holding Space and Marrying Like the Sea

As the maid's clear and pleasant voice fell, the brothers Wang Zisheng and Wang Ziteng hurried in from the door. As they stepped into the room, they quickly glanced around and then waved their hands to signal everyone else in the room to leave.

After everyone had left, Wang Zisheng and Wang Ziteng immediately walked to the back of the room and stood face to face with their sisters-in-law. Then, they simultaneously lowered their voices and began to whisper. After careful consideration, the two brothers decided to arrange a marriage for Wang Yi, and the woman was none other than the noble Zhang family. However, considering the Zhang family's illustrious status was beyond the reach of ordinary families, they decided to ask Lin Ruhai and Wang Xifeng to sound out the other party's intentions.

Upon hearing this, Madam Wang Zisheng frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. After a moment, she slowly spoke, "In that case, as long as it's not the daughter of the Jia or Shi families, it's acceptable. After all, our family background and financial resources are far from matching those of the daughters of these two families. We can inquire about the daughter of the Zhang family, but remember not to act rashly or you might upset her. Later, I'll send a message to Feng Yatou, asking her to come back when she's free so she can assist with this matter."

That morning, Lin Ruhai returned home after attending court as usual. However, surprisingly, he didn't go to the study or the main hall, but instead headed straight for Wang Xifeng's courtyard. Everyone was puzzled, bewildered. Once inside, Lin Ruhai's expression was grave, as if he had something important to discuss.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng hurried forward, bowed, and asked, "My husband, why are you here so suddenly today? What happened at court?" Lin Ruhai waved his hand, signaling her to calm down. Then, in a deep voice, he said, "On my way out of court today, I ran into my second uncle from the Wang family. He came to tell me something shocking." At this point, Lin Ruhai paused, then continued, "For some unknown reason, Baoyu from the Jia family has been brandishing a knife and making a scene at home, crying and threatening to commit suicide. He's turned the entire mansion upside down! The Jia family is devastated. They've tried every possible means to treat him, pray to the gods, and consult divinations, but to no avail. Even the brothers and sisters of the young Marquis Shi and Madam Xing, as well as many relatives, have come to visit. Some have brought him talismans and water, and others have recommended eminent monks and Taoists to perform rituals to exorcise the evil spirit. But even so, Baoyu remains unwell. I thought I'd go see what's going on!"

When Xifeng heard this, her heart was shaken, and a look of astonishment crossed her face. Why did this plot seem so familiar? Could it be that this was a replay of the scene in her past life where Aunt Zhao had secretly colluded with Ma Dao Po and attempted to use a sorcery to curse Baoyu to death?

Look at Jia Baoyu at this moment, his condition is getting worse. He is in a daze, completely unconscious, lying straight on the bed, his whole body burning as if it were burned by charcoal, and he is babbling nonsense, saying anything he wants.

When night fell, the women, wives, and maids who normally served Baoyu were terrified, their faces pale, and no one dared to approach the bed. In desperation, they carried him to the upper room where Lady Wang lived. During the night, Jia Yun was specially assigned to lead a group of servants to take turns guarding him.
