Chapter 276 is called Jia Qiaojie.

"The Lin family has a long tradition of scholarship, and your father was a third-ranked scholar, one of the most outstanding scholars and officials in the country. You feel that when Jia Baoyu used the word 'corrupt official,' he included your father as well, so you must teach him a lesson. What kind of lesson is the most profound and lasting? Nothing more than making him become the kind of person he despises the most."

As Yuan Hongqu spoke, she took a fresh orange that she had just picked from the tree, took only the pulp, and then squeezed it into orange juice without any additives.

She handed a cup to Daiyu.

"You ate quite a bit of barbecue today. You should eat something lighter these days, and also eat more fruit."

Daiyu took the juice, gulped it down, and squinted her eyes contentedly.

"Granny, you're right. That's exactly what I think. Doesn't everyone hope that Jia Baoyu will become that kind of person? I'm just helping to fulfill everyone's hopes."

In front of Granny Yuan, Daiyu made no attempt to hide her true nature.

Daiyu knew that only if the nanny knew her thoughts would she work together with her and help her fulfill her wish.

If you always keep quiet and suffer in silence, making those around you guess what you're thinking, not only will those around you be exhausted, but you yourself will also be unhappy.

“Good idea. Jia Baoyu is a promising student; it all depends on how his family guides him. It seems you’ve helped guide him onto the right path.” Yuan Hongqu shook her head and smiled, always finding reasons to justify Daiyu’s behavior.

She blindly dotes on Daiyu; in modern terms, that would be considered a mindless fan.

Daiyu is right. Even if someone disagrees, it's their fault!

In Rongyue Courtyard, Wang Xifeng is now exempt from all household duties such as morning and evening greetings and serving tea and meals because she also has to manage the shops outside.

She had a relaxed day, but after Yuan Hongqu left, she had to work overtime to finish the things that hadn't been dealt with yet.

I was busy until evening when I remembered that we had guests at home today. I hurriedly asked Ping'er...

"What did Granny Liu eat for dinner? Is she asleep now?"

"Grandma, the old lady invited Granny Liu over for dinner tonight. She joked around with her for a while during the meal and said that she wants Granny to accompany her to the park and to see a play tomorrow!" Ping'er hurriedly replied, "Her grandson has already gone to bed, but Granny is still awake. I just saw her chatting with Zhao Mama, talking about everyday things."

"I'm afraid she won't be free tomorrow. Go and invite her over so she can take a look at the eldest daughter." Wang Xifeng thought for a moment, but she was afraid that she would be tied up with other things tomorrow and wouldn't have time to ask Granny Liu to name the eldest daughter again.

Ping'er hurriedly called for a maid to invite her, while Wang Xifeng instructed Ping'er, "With this snow, who knows how many things might happen tomorrow? Grandma is worried about home and probably won't be able to stay peacefully. If she wants to go back, remember to hire a carriage for her and have one of our family members accompany her so she can be sent back safely. Also, for the gifts, pick out the practical ones and load a whole carriage for her. Take two hundred taels of silver from my private savings for her to take with her."

As Wang Xifeng spoke, she thought about whether there was anything she had overlooked.

Hearing this, Ping'er was surprised: Second Madam is so generous, how did Granny Liu become so popular with her? She gave away two hundred taels of silver so easily, while Second Master has to write a note and state the reason if he wants to withdraw two hundred taels to entertain guests!

When Granny Liu arrived, Wang Xifeng was taking a break from her busy schedule to coax her daughter to sleep.

My older sister had a great time today, running around in the snow and eating barbecue.

The eldest sister disliked the bitterness of the tea brewed by the red lotus, so she didn't drink much of it, and as a result, she felt bloated in the evening.

Fortunately, we had Baohe Pills at home, and my eldest sister felt better after taking them.

But which parent wouldn't be worried when their child is unwell?

When Granny Liu arrived and saw the situation, she quickly comforted Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng couldn't help but complain to Granny Liu.

“My eldest daughter was born with a strong constitution, but as she grew older, she didn’t like to eat. Even after being coaxed into eating, she wouldn’t eat a single bite of vegetables. Her wet nurse spoiled her like that. I was busy and couldn’t be with her all the time, so by the time I noticed, it was too late to correct her behavior. I feel sorry for her and can’t bear to say a word to her… Today she only ate a tiny bit, and when she came back she said her stomach was upset. It’s really worrying.”

She hadn't even told Yuan Hongqu about this. She knew Yuan Hongqu was good at taking care of children, but Yuan Hongqu had reserved all her patience for Lin Daiyu. For her sake, Yuan Hongqu might be a little more patient with the eldest daughter, but Wang Xifeng didn't dare to gamble.

After listening to Wang Xifeng's complaints, Granny Liu said, "Grandma, most children raised in wealthy families are pampered, so naturally we can't bear to let them suffer even the slightest grievance. However, even though we are wealthy, there are limits to wealth. If a child is pampered too much when they are young, they may not be able to withstand the hardships of life. In the future, Grandma, you should be a little stricter with your child and not spoil her so much. She will get better with time."

Wang Xifeng said, "What you said makes sense. I just remembered that she still doesn't have a proper name, so please give her one. You are an old man, so we'll borrow your longevity to keep her in check."

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu initially wanted to decline: how could an old woman who was just a farmer be qualified to name this young lady from a wealthy family!

However, upon hearing Wang Xifeng mention the matter of lifespan, and recalling that such a saying did exist, he thought for a moment and then smiled, "I wonder when she was born?"

Wang Xifeng said, "The seventh day of the seventh month."

As soon as she said it, she immediately thought of:

This was also the day she transmigrated into the world of Dream of the Red Chamber.

Sigh! I don't even want to think about it.

But then Granny Liu said, "Her birthday is on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, which is exactly what the word 'coincidental' means! This should be the girl's name. With this name, she will surely be able to turn misfortune into good fortune and avert disaster in the future."

Wang Xifeng was slightly taken aback: So simple and hasty? Aren't you going to explain why? But she still spoke...

"Okay, from now on, the eldest sister will be called Jia Qiaojie."

Although she was mentally prepared, this was no longer the original world of Dream of the Red Chamber, and Wang Xifeng was confident that she could prevent her daughter from suffering the same fate as before.

Wang Xifeng spoke a few more words with Granny Liu, then had someone take her back to rest.

Wang Xifeng tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The next morning, after breakfast, she went to find Yuan Hongqu.

“Sister Yuan, I have no other children. My daughter is Jia Qiao.” As soon as Wang Xifeng said this, she noticed that Yuan Hongqu was looking at her with a half-smile, and she immediately panicked.

"You knew all along that the eldest sister was Qiao Jie, didn't you?"

Yuan Hongqu nodded.

“It’s nothing to worry about. Many things in this world have changed. Your daughter will not experience what happened in her previous life.”

Wang Xifeng shook her head.

"Sister, I need to cripple Wang Ren first!"
