Red Mansion: Holding Space and Marrying Like the Sea

Lin Daiyu harbored a tinge of resentment towards Jia Min, wondering why her mother hadn't earned her father's affection. Why had she never been able to bear a son? Even the baby she was carrying wasn't Lin Ruhai's. These questions swirled in her mind, leaving her feeling dissatisfied and doubtful.

Jia Min noticed that something was wrong with Lin Daiyu, and hurriedly shouted anxiously: "Yu'er, Yu'er, don't scare your mother!" Lin Daiyu barely managed to calm down, trying to restore her usual innocent and naive appearance, and whispered: "Mother, Yu'er is fine, it's just a moment..." Before she finished speaking, tears burst out of her eyes.

Jia Min was extremely anxious and shouted to the maid outside the door: "Come quickly, go get a doctor! The young lady fainted when she heard that Master Bao was injured!" Then, she gave a wink to the maid who was close to her and whispered: "Please ask the doctor I have always used to take the young lady's pulse. Just tell her that the young lady fainted because she was too worried about Master Bao and she needs to rest and recuperate for a few days." The maid understood what Jia Min meant and immediately turned around and went out to find a doctor. At this time, Mrs. Jia had just finished scolding Jia Zheng and hurried over after hearing the news that her granddaughter had fainted. Seeing Mrs. Jia coming over, Jia Min quickly took her mother's hand and cried: "Mother, Yu'er fainted when she heard that Baoyu was beaten by his second brother and couldn't get out of bed. Mother, what should I do if anything happens to Yu'er? Woo woo woo..."

Old Lady Jia looked at her poor daughter in front of her and felt very distressed. She quickly comforted her, "Good girl, don't cry. I'm here. It's okay, it's okay..." As she spoke, she gently patted Jia Min's back, trying to calm her down.

However, Jia Min couldn't stop crying. Tears poured out like a flood, soaking her clothes. She clutched her mother's hand tightly, as if it was her only support. Her cry was full of helplessness and fear, which made people feel pity.

Mrs. Jia was also very sad. She knew how much Jia Min loved Lin Daiyu, and now seeing her so sad, her heart was also torn. She gently stroked Jia Min's hair and said softly: "Min'er, don't worry too much. I will find the best doctor to treat Yu'er. She will be fine. You should also cheer up and don't hurt your body because of this matter."

Jia Min sobbed and nodded. Although she knew Lin Daiyu had feigned fainting, her eyes were still filled with worry. She knew Lin Daiyu was sensitive and thoughtful. What if she really became ill from worrying about this incident? She prayed silently, hoping that Lin Daiyu would be safe and recover soon.

Seeing that Jia Min had calmed down a bit, Mrs. Jia turned her head and looked at Lin Daiyu lying on the bed, her eyes full of heartache and worry. She asked softly, "What did the doctor say?"

Jia Min choked and tears flowed uncontrollably. She replied in a trembling voice: "The doctor said that Yu'er was angry and needed to be taken care of. But, mother, with Yu'er's body, how many times can she withstand such torture? She has been weak and sickly since she was a child, and now she has suffered such a disaster. I am really afraid that she can't bear it..." At this point, Jia Min could no longer control her emotions and burst into tears.

Madam Jia frowned and sighed deeply, "Alas, this child is sentimental and yet so delicate. We must take good care of her from now on and not let her be frightened like this again."

Jia Min nodded repeatedly, wiped her tears with her hands, and said firmly: "Yes, mother, I will take good care of Yu'er. But, regarding Baoyu's matter this time, my second brother really went too far. He beat a good child without any hesitation, and he was so cruel!" Old Lady Jia felt a pang of pain in her heart when she thought of Jia Baoyu being beaten to a bloody mess.

Old Lady Jia shook her head helplessly and sighed, "It's really hard for Baoyu. He has a father who only knows how to put on airs. It's really a worry to have one or two such people. I have already taught him a lesson, I hope it helps." She knew Jia Zheng's temper. Although he had high hopes for Jia Baoyu, his educational methods were too harsh, which often scared the child.

Jia Min nodded and looked at Madam Jia gratefully, "Thank you, mother. We feel more at ease with you around." She knew very well that in the Jia family, only Madam Jia was sincere to her and her daughter.

Mrs. Jia patted Jia Min's hand and comforted her, "Okay, don't be sad. Take good care of Yu'er first. When she feels better, we can talk about other things." Mrs. Jia patted Jia Min's shoulder gently, then turned and left the room. Jia Min looked at her mother's back as she left, her eyes darkened, and she thought silently in her heart, "Mother, you are really partial. In your heart, besides Baoyu, there is only me."

After Mrs. Jia left, Daiyu slowly sat up and looked at Jia Min solemnly, saying, "Mother, are you doing this to win grandmother's pity?" Jia Min sighed slightly and said, "We are mother and daughter in the Jia Mansion. We only have your grandmother to rely on. Pity is also love." Lin Daiyu narrowed her eyes slightly and said in a low but firm voice, "Mother, don't worry! Jia Baoyu, he can't escape from my palm." Jia Min looked at Daiyu's confident look and said, "Yu'er, what you can't get is the best. You can't always praise him. You have to show your temper appropriately."

Yu'er, there's one more crucial point: make the man feel he owes you something. In a few days, disguise yourself as sick and go visit Baoyu. Daiyu listened to her mother's words and nodded thoughtfully. A few days later, she followed her mother's instructions, carefully dressed herself up to look sick, and went to Baoyu's residence.
