Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lin Daiyu was able to be promoted to a county lady because Yangzhou had fallen into the hands of the rebels and Lin Ruhai's life and death were uncertain.

In addition, Lin Ruhai had just sent eight million taels of tax silver to the court.

This is His Majesty at the Shien Lin family!

Even if Lin Ruhai really had an accident in Yangzhou later,

Then the royal family would never let Lin Ruhai, an orphan girl who was loyal to the court, wander around.

Even Jia Mu had a premonition that once the news of Lin Ruhai's death reached the capital,

It must be the day when the imperial palace compensates Lin Ruhai's orphan Lin Daiyu again.

If this marriage cannot be facilitated,

Who will benefit from such a huge benefit?

What should Baoyu do then?

Thinking of this, Grandmother Jia couldn't help but frown.

If Lin Daiyu came to Beijing alone, it would be fine, but she brought a powerful nanny with her.

And she had just been conferred the title of County Lady.

If I were to step forward now and force this marriage on someone as an elder, it would certainly be unacceptable.

The emperor had just canonized Lin Daiyu, but I arranged a marriage with the Jia family without Lin Ruhai's permission. Not to mention how Lin Ruhai would react, even the palace would not allow it!

Right now, this matter must be considered carefully!

Otherwise, it is very likely that a good thing that everyone is happy about will turn into a disaster!

As for what his granddaughter Lin Daiyu would think,

Grandmother Jia didn't take it to heart at all.

She also came from a girl,

It’s the parents’ orders and the matchmaker’s words, so it doesn’t matter who a girl marries.

How could she, a little girl, decide this on her own?

Besides, Yu'er is burdened with great kindness.

Isn't it a reward for the Jia family? Is it also a benefit to outsiders?

Baoyu was smart and kind-hearted since he was young.

How could Lady Jia, who had watched him grow up since he was a child, not know this?

If this could be accomplished, he would not only be able to continue the prosperity of Baoyu's generation in the Jia family, but also have the face to meet his ancestors.

Moreover, the Lin family is a noble family, and they have accumulated countless wealth over the past hundred years.

Lin Ruhai and his daughter only have Yu'er as their only child...

Jia Mu's eyes flickered slightly.

Then we can only wait until we reach Yangzhou.

We can only wait and see when there is any accurate news!

At that time, I can legitimately take charge of raising my granddaughter.

He can also marry his granddaughter, so no one can say anything gossipy!

Add to that the debt His Majesty owes to the Lin family, and perhaps the Jia family will have to bear the consequences...

Thinking of this, Grandmother Jia became even more excited!

While Jia Mu was thinking, Jia Baoyu saw her in a daze.

He quickly stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Lady Jia's eyes.

"Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"

Grandmother Jia quickly came to her senses and looked at her cute, clever grandson Jia Baoyu.

The more I looked at it, the more I liked it, and I smiled and shook my head.

"I'm fine!"

Then he took Jia Baoyu's hand and said,

"Also, let me ask you, what do you think of your cousin?"

Speaking of this, Jia Baoyu immediately became angry.

She immediately let go of Lady Jia's hand, turned her back and pouted.

"Could it be that the old lady also wants to make fun of me?"

"I haven't even seen the county lady today, how could I know?"

Grandmother Jia looked at Jia Baoyu with a smile.

"You! After all, your cousin is new here and still shy. We'll have plenty of time to spend together in the future!"

After hearing this, Jia Baoyu's expression became more cheerful.

Turning around, he looked at Lady Jia.

"This is only in front of the old lady, otherwise I would have to..."

When these words were spoken, Jia Baoyu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously reached out to touch the thing hanging around his neck.

He slapped his forehead hard.

Oh! Why am I so stupid?

How could she have been so frightened by the fierce nanny at that time that she actually forgot that she still had Baoyu?

If it happens again, he will just throw the jade to the ground.

It will definitely attract more love from the old lady and the whole family!

Grandmother Jia thought it was just a child saying something harsh. Not to mention Baoyu, even she herself felt a little unhappy at the moment.

He smiled and nodded.

"Haha, I know, my grandson is the best!"

"Ok!"

Jia Baoyu nodded in agreement, but his eyes were moving as he thought about tonight's dinner.

If I meet that new sister...

Thinking of this, Jia Baoyu's eyes turned and he subconsciously reached out and shook the Baoyu in his hand, a smug smile appearing on his face.

Grandmother Jia didn't notice what Jia Baoyu was thinking.

He then took Jia Baoyu aside and gave him some instructions, which were nothing more than asking him to get along well with his new sister.

Then he gave a look to the mandarin duck beside him.

Yuanyang hurried forward to support her, and Jia Mu stood up and walked towards the back hall of Rongxi Hall.

As for her own courtyard, she originally arranged the Furong Courtyard next door to Lin Daiyu to show closeness.

I guess she is busy and flustered right now, and she will make a lot of noise if she goes back.

Just take a rest behind Rongxi Hall.

Seeing this, Jia Baoyu quickly stood up and ran in the direction of Jia Mu.

"Old lady, please wait for me!"

"Old lady, please wait for me!"

"..."

Soon, the originally bustling Rongxi Hall was deserted except for a few maids and nannies clearing the tables.

A maid asked the people around her curiously.

"Hey, tell me, how come our Lord of Leping County has such a powerful nanny by his side?"

Another maid also nodded and said,

"Yes! And the maids accompanying the county lady are also very powerful! They actually dared to stop Master Bao outside!"

"Not so good!"

"In our mansion, except for the old master, who dares to stop the second master from going anywhere?"

"Hey, do you think the Second Master will..."

However, just as the maids were discussing in low voices,

An old lady with triangular eyes appeared at the door of the back hall and shouted coldly at everyone,

"Hurry up and clean up. We have to prepare for the dinner party soon. Who told you little hooves to be so talkative?"

"The old lady just said that no one is allowed to talk too much. If anyone keeps gossiping, I will send her to the Second Madam!"

Upon hearing this, all the maids trembled with fear and quickly begged for mercy.

However, no one discovered that

After everyone left, behind an inconspicuous flower bush in the flowerbed outside Rongxi Hall,

A young man in a light robe, with small eyes and a weird-looking face slowly poked his head out.

He looked up at the door of Rongxi Hall, a meaningful and complacent smile appeared on his face.

Then he looked around and found no one.

He immediately crouched down and walked quickly outside.
