After feeding Jue'er the medicine, the family stayed on the boat for another half an hour. When Jue'er felt better, they all got off the boat together.
Tie Jinhua didn't urge him either.
Instead, he brought a group of imperial guards to escort Lin Ruhai and his family to the house that Lin Ruhai had ordered to be bought earlier.
The house was kept very clean.
Lin Quan led the servants into the mansion, and after they became familiar with each courtyard, they began to get busy.
Qing Ning and other maids waited on the masters and went into the main courtyard to settle down.
Lin Ruhai accompanied Xin Guoguo to settle several children, and then he instructed Xin Guoguo:
"After I leave, I'll have Lin Quan lock the door. Until I come back, don't see anyone who knocks at the door. Especially the Jia family. No matter what they say, don't open the door."
"Okay, don't worry, sir. I'll remember it."
Xin Guoguo nodded obediently, thinking that she didn't want to deal with the Jia family either.
Lin Ruhai shook her hand, then turned around and left reluctantly, entering the palace with Tie Jinhua.
The gate of Xinlin Mansion was opened for a while and then closed again.
Xin Guoguo brought a few children with her and watched the servants busying around.
*
Rongguo Mansion. Rongqing Hall.
Grandmother Jia lay on the couch with her eyes closed, resting.
A group of little girls below were massaging their legs and fanning themselves.
Incense smoke curled gracefully from the purple-topped incense burner.
Mrs. Wang held the rosary in her hand, twisting the beads one by one and chanting "Amitabha". But she was thinking about how she would collect the dowry that Daiyu would bring after she married Baoyu.
Mrs. Xing stared at the ground with blank eyes, looking a little dazed.
But she was full of impatience.
There are so many things going on in the Rongguo Mansion every day!
Let her come back every few days!
Of course she understood that Lady Jia was doing this for the saint to see.
After all, my master, who is a lord, no longer lives in Rongguo Mansion.
Among the group of people living here, only the old lady has an imperial decree. My second brother is just a fifth-rank official and is not even qualified to attend court.
These people are not qualified to live in the Duke's Mansion.
But these people have no sense at all.
Or perhaps, they knew in their hearts that they could not live here, but they were blinded by wealth and were just hoping for a lucky break!
Mrs. Xing was thinking in her heart that she should go back and persuade the master to give up the title as soon as possible, and it would be best if she could sever the ties with the Ning and Rong families at the same time.
These people are so desperate that they will inevitably bring trouble to their entire family in the future!
Lian'er now has a bright future, and her master is favored by the saint, so there is really no need for her to get involved with these people.
The room was quiet, and everyone had their own little thoughts.
After a while, there seemed to be voices outside. Jia's mother opened her eyes and asked anxiously:
"But Yu'er is here?"
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing also raised their heads and looked toward the screen.
After a while, Yuanyang came in and reported, "Old Madam, the maids who went to pick up the people are back."
“Come in quickly!”
Grandmother Jia sat up in a hurry and looked at it eagerly.
Mrs. Wang's heart skipped a beat. Why did they say that only the maids had returned, but not the cousin?
Mrs. Xing sneered in her heart. She had learned a few words these days and often corresponded with Mrs. Lin!
Based on her understanding of Mrs. Lin, she was at most bringing a few children to visit relatives.
It is absolutely impossible to let the Jia family take their daughter away!
Several maids came in soon.
As soon as he came in, he knelt on the ground:
"Madam, I am incompetent. Master Lin won't let me take my cousin here!"
Grandmother Jia was looking towards the door with full of anticipation.
Hearing this, his face suddenly darkened:
"What did you say? Did you make it clear that I missed Yu'er, so I asked you to pick her up?"
Several maids cried and complained:
"We've all said it! Only Master Lin said that our Jia family is no longer the same as it was before, and that we don't allow our cousin to come again!"
This evil act was reported to Lady Jia, making her look even uglier.
Mrs. Xing glanced at the maids, then looked at Mrs. Wang, whose expression was equally grim, and sneered in her heart.
Now, all the people in Rongguo Mansion belong to her good brother-in-law!
Based on her understanding of her brother's wife, there might be something else going on here!
However, she had no intention of getting involved.
Anyway, the Lin family has no intention of associating with the Rongguo Mansion anymore, so it would be better to take this opportunity to break up with them!
But judging by the expressions of the old lady and my brother's wife, I'm afraid they won't let go of this coveted Lin family!
Grandmother Jia slammed the table, her face livid with anger:
"What a Lin Ruhai! Now he's grown so powerful that he looks down on my Jia family! He even won't let us see his granddaughter!"
The more Jia Mu thought about it, the angrier she became.
"Yuanyang, bring me my imperial robe! Since Lin Ruhai won't let me see my granddaughter, I'll go to the palace and beg the Concubine Dowager!"
As soon as Lady Jia said this, Mrs. Wang smiled.
Mrs. Xing looked at Lady Jia in surprise, unable to believe that these words came from her mouth.
Is she afraid that she hasn't offended the Lin family enough?
Yuanyang prepared quickly and soon came out holding Lady Jia's imperial edict.
Mrs. Wang accompanied Lady Jia and sent her all the way to the palace gate.
Mrs. Xing had already said goodbye while Lady Jia was changing her clothes:
"I won't join in the fun. I can't get in anyway, and I'll be left alone."
Jia Mu's face turned cold:
"You even feel cold waiting for me! Where's your filial piety?!"
