In the original story, Old Madam Jia should have already planned to keep Lin Daiyu in the Jia family forever.
Lin Daiyu ultimately stayed, never leaving the Jia family until her death.
But the person Old Madam Jia loved most was always her own grandson, Jia Baoyu.
Therefore, after Lin Daiyu expressed her fear that she might pass on her illness to Jia Baoyu, Old Madam Jia reluctantly agreed to Lin Daiyu's request.
"This vacant courtyard is to the east of Fenglazi. There are three vacant rooms there, and a small courtyard in the back. You can plant flowers there if you want."
"It's too cold this winter, and you're not in good health, so please don't come to pay your respects every day."
Grandma Jia's words sounded very considerate of Lin Daiyu.
Lin Daiyu forced herself to thank him, and then had Bai Sang take Xueyan and her nanny to pack their things and head to the courtyard that didn't even have a name.
Bai Sang breathed a sigh of relief.
This way, I can avoid getting involved with Jia Baoyu.
This can reduce the chances of violating the rules.
Since Shen Yuan told Bai Sang to get lost, Bai Sang has never seen Shen Yuan again.
Bai Sang didn't care.
That eeriness was too gloomy, completely different from the warm and sunny Chi Yuan.
He's gone, so be it.
Bai Sang didn't want to see that dark face either.
Stepping out of Grandmother Jia's courtyard, Bai Sang clearly felt that the air was much clearer.
Lin Daiyu's slightly bluish face turned visibly pale.
Bai Sang pursed her lips. Could the source of the pollution be here?
An empty courtyard in the northeast of Rongguo Mansion.
“Miss, this place is quite similar to our courtyard in Jinling.”
Xueyan skipped over, ignoring her lips that were so dark they looked almost black in the sunlight; she was still a rather cute little girl.
Bai Sang helped Lin Daiyu down from the sedan chair.
Lin Daiyu remained silent.
"Xueyan, remember to find that big red pillow in my luggage."
"No."
Bai Sang blurted out.
Lin Daiyu, Xueyan, and Granny Li's eyes instantly shifted to Bai Sang's face.
Those pairs of eyes were filled with a frenzied rage, as if they wanted to tear Bai Sang apart.
The feeling of suffocation returned.
"The young lady is still in mourning; she shouldn't wear such bright colors."
The first rule of survival in Rongguo Mansion has been proven true.
As a maid, she was violating the rules by interrupting Lin Daiyu, who was her mistress.
Fortunately, the latter part of the rules is also true.
As soon as the words "filial piety period" were uttered, Bai Sang felt the pressure around her instantly lessen.
This ghost story is difficult, partly because Bai Sang will inadvertently break the rules.
Lin Daiyu gave up all her bright red decorations, which finally relieved Bai Sang.
Fifteen minutes after they settled in, Xueyan rushed over, and Wang Xifeng arrived.
Bai Sang immediately took precautions.
After all, Wang Xifeng is a character explicitly mentioned in the rules.
Wang Xifeng looked exactly like Bai Sang had imagined, and she laughed heartily.
"Lin Daiyu's place is very close to mine. Come visit me more often when you have free time."
Like Old Madam Jia, Wang Xifeng had bluish-gray skin, black gums, and one or two worms would occasionally fall out of her hair.
Bai Sang felt a little disgusted by what she saw and lowered her eyes to avoid looking at her.
"You must be the maid that the old lady gave to Lin Daiyu. Serve her well, and come to me if you need anything."
Bai Sang knew they were talking about her, so she quickly nodded.
She couldn't see any emotion in Wang Xifeng's eyes.
Therefore, Bai Sang didn't know whether the rules about Wang Xifeng were true or false.
Wang Xifeng personally fed Lin Daiyu the medicine before leaving.
Lin Daiyu had already lay down and fallen asleep.
Bai Sang tucked the blanket around her and left the room.
In the courtyard, Xueyan was staring blankly at a small wildflower blooming in the snow.
"Sister Zijuan, do you think it's a flower fairy that's still blooming in such cold weather? I want to eat it."
Rule number 5 states that all the flowers in the Rongguo Mansion are living things.
"You greedy girl, all you know is food. You can't eat these flowers."
Bai Sang quickly stopped him.
"oh."
Xueyan stood up somewhat unhappily, "I didn't eat enough at noon, I'm so hungry, Sister Zijuan, I want to eat."
"The small kitchen is still being cleaned up. Go to the main kitchen first and find something to eat, and while you're at it, get the girl something light."
Bai Sang felt that what she said was not wrong.
However, Xueyan still underwent a transformation.
“I’m still a child, why should I go get it? I won’t go, I won’t go.”
Her voice was shrill and piercing. As she spoke, she kept shaking her hands until both of them fell off at once.
"Keep your voice down. If you're not going, then don't go. It wouldn't be good if you woke the girl up."
"I'll go find a maid; you go back to your room first."
Bai Sang tried to calm herself down and spoke.
Xueyan, however, was relentless.
"Sister, I'm hungry, can you let me eat your hand?"
Bai Sang looked around, but still couldn't see Shen Yuan's shadow.
"What's so good about it? Am I supposed to serve girls chicken feet from now on?"
Bai Sang's anger rose from the bottom of her heart.
"Go back to your room, or don't blame me for being impolite."
A light veil spread upwards along Bai Sang's calf, and Bai Sang felt as if she had been frozen in place, unable to move at all.
Until her neck was tightly wrapped.
A sharp pain shot through Bai Sang's neck, and she couldn't open her mouth or speak.
My goodness, this maid is incredibly strong!
[No, is the streamer about to die?]
On the live stream screen, Bai Sang's face turned red and purple, his eyes bulged out, and saliva dripped uncontrollably from the corners of his mouth.
