What brings you here?
Lin Daiyu suddenly felt that her mother's suggestion to bury the flowers was inappropriate, and inexplicably appeared melancholic and sentimental.
Why not dry them and make fresh flower cakes to burn as incense? Cao Zhiyan gave her a censer last time. Since she has some free time recently, why not invite them to my house to enjoy tea and incense, and burn incense together to make fragrant handkerchiefs?
So while asking Shi Xiangyun, he carefully shook off the dust from the petals and then gently put them into a cloth bag.
“We’re relatives, after all, why can’t I come?” Shi Xiangyun turned her face away and picked up the fallen flowers, just like Lin Daiyu.
Shen Ajiao originally wanted to be artistic, but she didn't have the patience, so she simply stood on the ladder and grabbed a handful. Anyway, the ending was the same, so the process could be ignored.
He didn't take Shi Xiangyun's words to heart.
Seeing that neither Shen Ajiao nor Lin Daiyu spoke, Shi Xiangyun grew anxious. "Why aren't you asking any more questions?"
"Huh?" Shen Ajiao was taken aback. This girl must have something to do here. "What do you want?"
"Of course I'm talking about Baoyu!"
Shi Xiangyun wanted to continue listening to what Shen Ajiao had to say, preferably about Baoyu and Grandmother Jia, but Shen Ajiao remained silent, which made her anxious.
“Baoyu? What did he say? Don’t you know his family stole our stone lion?”
Shi Xiangyun knew about this, of course, but she didn't quite believe it. After all, it was just a stone lion; the Jia family couldn't be so stingy.
Seeing Lin Daiyu's expression, Shi Xiangyun could hardly believe it. "Really?"
Upon seeing the stone lions inside the warehouse, she was shocked, initially thinking it was just a rumor...
His finger trembled as he pointed at the stone lion, swallowing hard. "Was it the one that shattered Baoyu's jade?"
"What do you think?" Shen Ajiao said with great pride, this thing could be kept as a family heirloom.
Haha, now if anyone asks you in the future, "Did your ancestors leave you any treasures?"
Yes, every family has a valuable heirloom; it would be embarrassing to say you don't.
With the stone lion in the sky, who can rival it?
"Give it to me!"
Chen Ajiao??
[A freeloader?]
Lin Daiyu: You want it just for reaching out? We don't seem to know each other well.
As soon as Shi Xiangyun finished speaking, she realized how rash she had been. How could she have said such a thing?
"I was just kidding."
"Haha, I understand."
Shen Ajiao decided to move the stone lion to a different location later. Judging from Shi Xiangyun's eyes, she probably wanted it too. Humph, no way.
"Where is Baoyu's soul inside the stone lion?"
As soon as Shi Xiangyun finished speaking, the atmosphere seemed to drop to freezing point again.
"Young lady, feudal superstition is unacceptable."
Shi Xiangyun, sob sob sob, she didn't mean it, it just slipped out of her mouth, do you believe me?
"You shouldn't go out too much lately, you're easily tainted by unclean things. If there really are any spirits or ghosts, they love to target fair-skinned, delicate girls like you, ugh~"
"Ahhhhhh..."
Shi Xiangyun: Auntie, I want to go home…
Lin Daiyu laughed and said, "Have you been reading those nonsensical novels?"
Shi Xiangyun nodded. She wanted to see if anyone else had a similar experience. If so, she would find the reason and wouldn't be afraid anymore.
"Those are just stories people made up out of boredom to scare you. If there really were spirits and monsters, why would they have someone write them down for us to spy on?"
After thinking it over, Shi Xiangyun realized that what Miss Lin said seemed to make sense, but if Baoyu broke the jade, he would become mentally impaired.
"What about someone like Baoyu?"
"The old ancestor fell ill when she went out with him. He couldn't accept it and was afraid of being punished, right?" Shen Ajiao snorted coldly, "Don't try to extort us."
Shi Xiangyun suddenly realized that it was no wonder that even though Baoyu was mentally challenged, he still remembered his sisters and hugged them. It turned out that he was just pretending!
That's truly despicable, utterly despicable!
All his cleverness and quick wit are wasted on this, and the old matriarch, who is ill, feels guilty and ashamed of having failed Baoyu!
Pathetic!
No, she had to expose him!
Tan Chun couldn't eat or sleep well because of Bao Yu's illness, and became emaciated, while he was plump and healthy.
Without even saying goodbye, she took off running, ignoring Lin Daiyu and Shen Ajiao calling after her.
"I'll be right back!"
Lin Daiyu was taken aback. "She wouldn't be going to the Jia family to expose Baoyu, would she?"
Shen Ajiao slapped her hand, "That's not what she meant! This little firecracker! Go stop her!"
This little girl might have been eaten!
Go after them quickly.
Lin Daiyu was indeed late; Shi Xiangyun had already called her away, so she hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a carriage to chase after her.
"Baoyu, come out here! Come out here right now!"
“Grandmother, I’ve told you, Baoyu has been cured for a long time. He was just faking it.”
"It's an act!"
...
Upon hearing this, Shen Ajiao was filled with dismay. Oh no!
Sure enough, the next second, Grandmother Jia asked the people around Shi Xiangyun, "Where did your young lady just go?"
The maidservant beside Shi Xiangyun was originally given to her by Grandmother Jia. Upon hearing Grandmother Jia's question, she answered without hesitation, "She's from the Lin family!"
Grandmother Jia's cane thumped loudly on the ground. "You...they...are you trying to drive me crazy?"
Seeing her maid's reaction, Shi Xiangyun turned pale and, without a word, slapped her across the face. "What did I say on the way here!"
The maid glanced at Shi Xiangyun, then at Grandmother Jia, covered her face, and knelt on the ground without saying a word.
Seeing this, Shi Xiangyun understood a little better. "Grandmother, if you continue to spoil Baoyu like this, you will ruin him!"
Grandmother Jia clutched her chest, making hoarse sounds, and then coughed for a long time.
"Don't you know who caused Baoyu's condition?"
