After hearing my inner thoughts, the ancestors in the Dream of the Red Chamber went berserk.

While Jia Jing was holding Jia Hu's hand and talking to him, a storm was raging inside him. He had just heard a child saying that he was going to die because he was taking pills.

She also heard this person call her uncle, but the only people in the house who could call her uncle were Jia Hu in front of her and Jia Zhu beside her aunt, yet both of them remained calm and expressionless. Hu'er was still answering why she had fallen into the water. Who was speaking? Looking around at everyone listening to Hu'er and her with normal expressions, was she the only one who heard it? Or was she hallucinating from the fatigue of riding a horse?

Jia Daishan's expression hardened. Who was speaking? What do you mean, "dying from taking elixirs!"

Although Jia Daihua was a military man and usually acted rashly, he was also a man who had experienced great things and would not usually lose his composure. However, upon hearing the news of his son's future death, he was so shocked that he could hardly sit still. He looked sharply at his younger brother, Jia Daishan, who reached out and pressed him down, giving him a look that told him not to make any rash moves.

They looked around, and everyone in the room was smiling and laughing. Jia Hu and Jia Jing were speaking without any impropriety.

A storm brewed in Jia Daishan's eyes. Who was playing tricks on him? Had they tried to harm Hu'er before? What methods were they planning now? Jia Daishan had fought countless battles and killed many people throughout his life, but he was always upright and honest. He never harmed anyone behind their backs, but he was never afraid of these shady dealings either. Now, he would show him what despicable methods these people would use this time!

Seeing Jia Daishan's gaze, Jia Daihua understood. Earlier, when Hu'er fell into the water, his younger brother said there was something fishy about it. Just now, after hearing Hu'er's account of her falling into the water, he realized that someone must have used a trick! Now that the first trick had failed, they were pretending to be mysterious and trying to sow discord. But why could only he and his brother hear it? And the expressions on the faces of the people in the room were also unmistakable.

Suppressing his shock, Jia Jing smiled and asked Jia Hu:

"Do you still need to take your medicine? How are you feeling?"

Jia Hu answered them one by one.

Jia Jing became increasingly convinced that what he had just witnessed was a hallucination, and unconsciously pressed his brow with his hand.

Seeing Jia Jing's tired expression, Jia Shi said:

"Brother, there's plenty of time. I see you two are tired. Why don't you go wash up first? It's almost noon. I'll have the kitchen start preparing lunch so you can have some."

Jia Daihua then stood up and said, "Thank you for making the arrangements, sister-in-law!"

Jia Shishi said:

"Let's wash up in this courtyard. I'll have Grandma's maid prepare everything!"

Although Jia Daihua was usually very strict with his son, even to the point of being harsh, the sudden news of his son's death and the cause of death left this usually rough-around-the-edges man somewhat bewildered. Seeing that his younger brother and grandson were unharmed, he felt relieved. He thought he would first wash up to clear his head, and then, after dinner, privately discuss with his brother what had happened.

Following Grandmother Jia's arrangement, she took Jia Jing with her and, led by servants, went to wash up first.

Grandmother Jia also ordered the old woman to instruct the kitchen to prepare food.

After washing away the dust of his journey, Jia Jing felt much clearer-headed. He had been momentarily confused when he heard the cause of his death, but now his mind was much clearer. He thought about it carefully and realized that he couldn't be sure if the matter was true or false. If it was just his imagination, then he must have been out of his mind to hear such a thing. If someone wanted to harm him, what good would these words do? They would alienate him from his family, and their intentions were truly despicable.

A ruthless glint flashed in Jia Jing's eyes.

Grandmother Jia originally planned to have everyone dine in the Jade Pavilion. A large screen would be placed in the middle, with the women on the left and Jia Dai, Jia Daihua, and Jia Jing on the other, while Jia She and Jia Zheng would accompany them.

To everyone's surprise, Jia Daihua said, "There's no need for me to make any arrangements. Just take Jing'er and go eat. Just set up a small table in this room and bring over a few dishes. Daishan and I can sit down, eat, and chat."

After a few polite refusals, seeing that Jia Daihua was determined, Grandmother Jia arranged for the servants to prepare the food and sent some of the best dishes to the room. Jia Daihua then had the old woman set out the meal next to Jia Daishan.

After everything was arranged, Grandmother Jia led everyone to the Jade Pavilion for a meal. Once everyone had left, Jia Daihua dismissed all the servants, leaving only himself and Jia Daishan in the room. At this point, Jia Daihua could no longer contain himself and asked:

"Did you hear that?"

Jia Daishan nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, but I see that everyone's expression hasn't changed..."

Jia Daihua immediately replied, "Could it be that only the two of us can hear this?"

Jia Daishan said:

"It should be so."

Jia Daihua couldn't help but say:

"Do you think this is true? Could it be that Heaven saw all the troubles that have happened to our Jia family and came to warn us? But Jing'er is not the kind of person who believes in elixirs of immortality, so why would he say that he died from taking elixirs? I also heard the voice of a child speaking, and he even called Jing'er 'Uncle'."

Jia Daishan felt a chill run down his spine and said:

"At that time, the only people in the house who could address Jing'er as their paternal uncle were Hu'er and Zhu'er, but Hu'er was speaking while Zhu'er remained silent."

Jia Daihua said:

"I know that was done on purpose. But what methods were used to make it only known to you and me? And what was their purpose?"

Jia Daishan said:

“When Hu’er accidentally fell into the water, I interrogated the old woman and found out that she was instructed by someone to harm Hu’er.”

Upon hearing this, Jia Daihua asked, "I didn't ask in detail about Hu'er's accident just now. Who was responsible?" Jia Daishan then replied:

"We still don't know who's behind this. Before you came, I interrogated the old woman and sent my guards to investigate. I expect we'll have news soon. Given our current situation and this strange occurrence, we can only be more cautious. Once we find out the truth, we'll know exactly what happened!"

Jia Daihua nodded, knowing that the matter could not be solved at present, and said, "If there is a precise transmission that only the two of us can hear, such a powerful technique should be very famous in the martial arts world. Could it be the work of a martial arts person? My brother and I will split up to investigate. I will send someone to investigate this matter, and you will focus on investigating the person behind it."

Jia Daishan nodded in agreement.

Jia Hu was still thinking about the Dream of the Red Chamber, so he didn't enjoy the meal very much. Seeing this, Jia Jing put some food on his plate and said, "Hu'er, is this food not to your liking?"

Jia Hu shook his head and said, "Thank you, Uncle, but I'm not very hungry yet."

Jia Hu was unaware that his heartfelt words had been overheard by his grandfather, great-uncle, and uncle, stirring up a storm in their hearts. At that moment, he was immersed in the emotions of having traveled into the world of Dream of the Red Chamber. Although he was a true fan of the novel and had fantasized about one day traveling into it to see the vivid characters and change their fates, he never imagined that he himself was a character in the book.
