"My son, what is going on?"
Lady Wang wept bitterly, and began to question Wang Xifeng.
"It was the second master who did it. I couldn't stop him. I don't know what triggered him..."
Wang Xifeng wiped away her tears, "The more I tried to persuade him, the harder he hit me. I... how could I compare to the Second Master's strength?"
"When the old lady saw Baoyu vomiting blood, she fainted in panic. I... Oh dear! What should we do? Heavens, what has happened to this family?"
Lady Wang saw that Wang Xifeng spoke with such conviction, but she didn't believe a single word of what Wang Xifeng said.
Last time, Wang Xifeng instigated the old lady to beat her Baoyu, so this time it must have been her doing too!
She won't let her get away with this!
Seeing the murderous look in Madam Wang's eyes, Wang Xifeng thought to herself that she was right. Madam Wang really was putting on airs in front of her all the time. She quickly knelt down and cried, "Grandma, Brother Bao!"
Lady Wang, not having time to scold her, ordered people to carry Baoyu, the old lady, and Jia Zheng back to find a doctor.
Seeing everyone had left, Wang Xifeng quickly stood up, watching Madam Wang's departing figure, her phoenix eyes filled with gloom.
Get busy, get busy and it'll kill you.
“Go tell Wang’er…”
No, Wang'er may be helping me, but he's only pretending to be kind. Last time I asked him for a favor, not only did he not do it properly, but I also lost money.
"Tell Wang'er to pack his bags and go to another province to deliver some things for me."
Wang Xifeng snorted coldly. There was no need for her to keep such a disloyal servant by her side.
"Tonight, plant the people I gave you last time. Be quick, and tell them to get rid of the old people as soon as possible. If you do a good job, I will reward you handsomely!"
"Yes, sir, I'll take care of it right away."
...
[They've left, haven't they? Baoyu has left, shouldn't Huo Huaixi leave too?]
[If he leaves, we should leave too, otherwise he'll find out I tampered with it, and then the refrigerator will have to be turned on again.]
Huo Huaixi closed his eyes, flicked his sleeve, turned around and strode away.
"Honey, have you done your homework today?"
Shen Ajiao's face stiffened. "Ahhh, it's all your fault!"
Choi Bo-joo expressed her innocence, asking what it had to do with her.
"Go, go quickly."
...
The next day, just as Lin Daiyu was about to leave, she received a message from the Jia family saying that Old Madam Jia was seriously ill and invited her cousin to the mansion.
Shen Ajiao looked at the messenger and expressed her unwillingness to go. She felt that she was wasting her precious time going to the Jia Mansion every few days.
But she was Lin Baobao's maternal grandmother after all. It was really unreasonable not to visit her when she was sick; people would stab her in the back for that.
"Okay, we'll go right away."
Shen Ajiao pulled Lin Daiyu to the storeroom to select some medicinal herbs and food, and after changing into plain clothes, they set off for the Jia Mansion.
They initially thought it was Grandmother Jia who was ill, but upon arrival they discovered that even Baoyu and Jia Zheng were sick.
Grandmother Jia had already woken up and was sitting motionless by Jia Baoyu's bedside despite her illness. When she heard that Shen Ajiao had brought Lin Daiyu, she hurriedly asked someone to call Lin Daiyu in.
Shen Ajiao was speechless for a moment. She had come to visit the ailing Grandmother Jia, so what was the point of asking her to go see Baoyu?
Good heavens, Baoyu has become an elder? Do I need to go see for myself??
Is this sixth brother just being clueless, or what? What was Lin Baobao doing inside?
[To see Baoyu lying naked on the bed? Bah, shameless! No one should let a young girl in.]
That conspicuous package is a treasure in your eyes, but that face, as pale as on Mid-Autumn Festival, covered in powder and rouge, looks just like an eighty-year-old woman celebrating her birthday with a giant peach.
There's a kind of beauty that older people find beautiful.
Which eleven or twelve-year-old boy isn't a sunny and cheerful young man? What eye-catching bag do you have at home?
"Go and tell the old lady that my cousin is injured, so it's inconvenient for me to go in. I'll just send my regards from outside." Lin Daiyu wholeheartedly agreed. Ever since she started taking classes with Zhang Shaofu, although there were screens separating the men and women, they inevitably bumped into each other during and after class.
When everyone gathered together to discuss their studies and chat about anything and everything, they were all in high spirits, and they were all open and honest.
Naturally, he looked down on his grandmother's petty schemes.
But she was the maternal grandmother, an elder, so she couldn't say anything.
But she has the right to refuse.
Whether her grandmother intended it or not, she avoided entering Baoyu's room whenever possible.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Baochai walked out of Baoyu's room somewhat awkwardly and bowed to Chen Ajiao.
How did she get inside? Did she lose control?
[Or are they just panicking and making rash decisions?]
[Holy crap, she failed the audition, so she's trying to find a way out here?]
No! Don't marry Baoyu! Baoyu has no sense of responsibility or duty; he only cares about his own pleasure. If you marry him, you'll be lonely for the rest of your life!
Xue Baochai: I understand, Mrs. Lin.
She turned her head and a bitter smile appeared on her lips. But as a merchant's daughter, was there anyone more suitable than Baoyu?
Other nobles wouldn't even know each other, let alone marry into the family; how easy would it be?
"Mrs. Lin, please come in." She said, and found a place to sit down.
Shen Ajiao glanced at Xue Baochai, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Lin Daiyu didn't think anything of it and gestured for Shen Ajiao to go inside quickly.
A medium-rare steak asked a rare steak, "Why aren't we saying anything?" The rare steak retorted, "Because we're not cooked!"
Xue Baochai: This Mrs. Lin is quite protective of Miss Lin.
Lin Daiyu: Madam, please go in quickly. I need to meet with Xue Baochai, who once said she would belittle me.
Lin Daiyu originally wanted to have a chat with Xue Baochai, but all she heard was Shen Ajiao's screams filling the screen.
