The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

Inside Furong Courtyard.

Lin Daiyu was drinking the lotus seed porridge handed to her by Qingwen. When she saw the long nails on Qingwen's fingers, she was slightly stunned.

Seeing this, Rong Mama frowned and scolded,

"Qingwen, what did I tell you? As a servant, who allowed you to grow your nails so long?"

"Are you here to serve the young lady, or is the young lady here to serve you?"

Hearing Rong Mama's scolding, Qingwen's expression changed. She knelt on the ground with her head lowered, tears welling up in her eyes, but she didn't dare to say a word in rebuttal.

She likes needlework and is very good at it. Because she takes good care of her hands, she keeps her fingernails very long.

However, when she was assigned to serve Lin Daiyu, Rong Mama only mentioned it in passing.

She didn't take it seriously at the time, but she never thought that Rong Mama would bring it up again today.

In Qingwen's view, Rong Mama was completely different from all the other madams who had been in charge of the Jia family.

All the maids in Rongguo Mansion are greedy for money and flatter the powerful and look down on the weak.

But Aunt Rong treated her, Zijuan and Xueyan, who had been with the county lady since childhood, equally, without any distinction between them.

Moreover, Rong Mama was devoted to serving the county lady and always considered her master's interests in everything. Qingwen was very impressed by this and felt that they were like-minded people.

But my nails are my favorite. I have grown them so long with great effort. If I want to cut them, it will be...

But she also knew that what Rong Mama said was right. If it weren't for the county lady's magnanimity, no other master would have acted like this.

Just as she was feeling conflicted and sad, Lin Daiyu put down her bowl and cup, looked at Rong Mama and shook her head slightly.

"Mammy, why do you have to be so upset? I don't have much to do here. Qingwen just has a little hobby. I'm just a little curious about how she can keep her nails in such good condition."

Lin Daiyu spoke, and Rong Mama bowed slightly and stepped aside.

Then Lin Daiyu slowly stood up, helped Qingwen up, looked at Qingwen with red eyes and smiled,

"Qingwen, you can do whatever you like with me. You don't need to care about these things, but..."

When Qingwen heard Lin Daiyu's change of tone, her face turned pale instantly, and she thought Lin Daiyu asked her to twist her nails.

But I heard Lin Daiyu say,

"You must teach me how to care for your nails from now on!"

Qingwen's eyes instantly filled with tears when she heard this, and she nodded heavily.

"Yes, Miss, this servant will definitely do it!"

Lin Daiyu pulled Qingwen aside and said a few words.

When I returned to my seat and was about to sit down, I heard a commotion outside.

He couldn't help but frown slightly and looked at Rong Mama beside him.

"Mammy, why is there so much commotion outside today? Do you know what happened?"

In front of Rongxi Hall is Jia Zheng's courtyard.

To the east is Lady Jia's courtyard.

Hibiscus Garden is right next to Lady Jia's courtyard, so the noise outside can be heard.

Originally, she was worried that Rong Mama would ignore her dissuasion and insist on taking action against her cousin.

However, I sent someone to check on him this morning, and the only news they came back was that the cousin was seriously injured and bedridden, nothing else.

It's strange that there's so much noise outside now.

Normally, Lin Daiyu didn't care about the chaos outside the courtyard.

However, Lin Daiyu vaguely felt that the chaos outside seemed to be related to her cousin.

That's why I ask this question.

Rong Mama bowed slightly to Lin Daiyu and said with a smile,

"Miss, I don't know what happened outside."

Lin Daiyu frowned slightly and was about to speak.

But I heard Rong Mama laugh and say,

"But yesterday, I was out, and an old friend sent me a letter, asking me to pass it on to you, young lady!"

Lin Daiyu immediately understood who the old friend Rong Mama was talking about.

Her cheeks flushed red, and she said angrily,

"Mammy, what are you talking about?"

Then he asked again,

"Where is the letter?"

Madam Rong chuckled, but did not say anything. Instead, she turned her head to look at Qingwen and Zijuan beside her.
