Shen Ajiao nodded, "I heard about it too."
[This has nothing to do with me, don't fire the wrong shot.]
"Of course I know that Madam Lin has heard it, but I don't know what they're talking about. I'd like to have a plan," Grandmother Jia said with a smile, but in her heart she was furious. A bunch of good-for-nothings, they do nothing all day long, and outsiders dare to criticize the family.
"Naturally, naturally."
Seeing the troubled look on Shen Ajiao's face, Grandmother Jia asked, "Is there something troubling you, Madam Lin?"
I've been waiting for you to ask that question!
"To be honest, I paid for this, and now it might be... inappropriate to tell the old lady."
Lin Daiyu? When did this happen? Does the lady still have enough pocket money?
Grandmother Jia gasped, hardly believing her ears. This Shen Ajiao was asking her for money?!
This is outrageous!
This is outrageous!
"Hehe, Mrs. Lin, you go first. There will definitely be a big gift for you later."
"A big gift is guaranteed? I don't believe you for a second!"
Shen Ajiao remained silent, only drinking tea without saying a word, which made Grandmother Jia so angry that she couldn't sit still.
I thought about going out to inquire, but you can't usually find out about things like offending someone without some power and money.
Furthermore, she didn't want to escalate the matter further. If she really offended some powerful figure, she would need Lin Ruhai's help.
If Shen Ajiao were to interfere, Baoyu would suffer every extra day, which was something she didn't want to see.
"Mrs. Lin, is this alright?"
Shen Ajiao looked at the bracelet in her hand, but did not take it. Instead, she put it aside and said, "I'm afraid these won't do."
Who wants the jewelry you're wearing, you sixth brother? I'm afraid I'll catch something from it.
Grandmother Jia gritted her teeth, "How much does Mrs. Lin want?"
"One thousand taels."
"What?"
Grandmother Jia turned and left in anger, but Ajiao quickly called out to her.
"If all else fails, eight hundred."
"Seven hundred?"
"Six hundred?"
"Four hundred, that's the lowest I can go."
Grandmother Jia stopped and nodded in agreement with tears in her eyes, instructing her attendants to fetch the silver notes.
Shen Ajiao looked at the silver notes in her hand and chuckled to herself.
"Grandma, you must be careful. I heard that Baoyu offended someone you shouldn't have last night."
"Who is it?" Grandmother Jia's heart clenched with worry, hoping it wasn't anything too serious.
"I heard from the people at the restaurant that he is the current imperial uncle, Huo Huaixi."
Grandmother Jia was taken aback. It was him?
She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "How could it be him?"
"I only heard it from someone saying that Second Master Bao was rude at a restaurant and got beaten by the Imperial Uncle, that's why..."
[You scared me half to death! Now you know you've kicked a hornet's nest, huh?]
Grandmother Jia was startled, then asked, "Is Uncle alright? Did Baoyu fight back?"
"The Imperial Uncle didn't do it himself; Baoyu just... cursed the Imperial Uncle a few times."
He cursed... a few times?
How could the Jia family possibly prosper?
Grandmother Jia initially thought that the only one she could afford to offend was the Imperial Uncle, not anyone else. But when she suddenly heard Baoyu scolding the Imperial Uncle, she felt as if a dark cloud was hanging over her head and that disaster was about to befall her!
"That beast! He deserves to be beaten to death!"
Grandmother Jia was extremely anxious and immediately ordered people to prepare things so that she could personally go to apologize to the Imperial Uncle.
Shen Ajiao stopped Grandmother Jia, "Grandmother, it's not you who caused trouble outside, it's Baoyu. It would be best to bring Baoyu along to make it a proper apology."
When Grandmother Jia heard that she had to take Baoyu with her, she hesitated. He was still unconscious and his injuries were too severe. Moving him might hurt him even more. She suggested that she ask the eldest son to apologize.
Shen Ajiao was stunned. Jia She went?
What is Jia She going to do?
He's not his son, what good would it do for him to go?
Jia She was such a sucker!
Gillian Chung expressed her incomprehension.
Even Jia She, who arrived later, didn't understand?
It's as if he's heard something incredible? Baoyu got into trouble and he went to apologize?
What the hell is going on?
Doesn't Baoyu have a biological father?
Still no biological mother?
Did his uncle go?
Why should he go?
Grandmother Jia banged her cane on the ground with a deafening roar, but Jia She remained unmoved. Grandmother Jia pointed at Jia She's nose and scolded him, but Jia She still wouldn't leave.
He's not stupid enough to run into his uncle's gun.
He took a new beauty as a concubine yesterday, and hasn't had enough of her yet.
“Grandma, you know me. I don’t have any great skills and can only stay at home now. But my second brother is different. He is capable and has dozens of followers. Every one of them is a capable person. He will definitely come up with a better solution. Why worry about him?”
[Yes, yes, quickly send the retainers to figure out a solution.]
Grandmother Jia was furious when she saw Jia She stubbornly refusing to go. "You know your second brother is capable, yet you still send him. How will he face his colleagues after this?"
There are an unusually large number of melons this year, that's great.
[I've really seen something today. It's his own problem that the eldest brother is incompetent, but he shouldn't have stood up for the second brother!]
[The second brother wants to meet with his colleagues, but the eldest brother doesn't need to meet with his casual sex partner??]
[Won't this be embarrassing if word gets out?]
Jia She was such a sucker!
The old lady is really confused. The person in question is lying in bed groaning and moaning, while outside, there's a huge commotion about him.
Helpless, Grandmother Jia had no choice but to go to Jia Zheng. When Jia Zheng heard that the wretched boy Baoyu had offended the Imperial Uncle, he jumped up, grabbed something, and was about to beat Baoyu again. Grandmother Jia cried and shouted, and he stopped hitting him.
Shen Ajiao looked at Grandmother Jia, who was crying and wailing on Baoyu, and found it unbelievable. How could the head of such a powerful family be like this?
"Baoyu, if your father wants to beat you to death, he might as well beat me to death too, so that we, grandfather and grandson, won't be alone on our journey to the underworld!"
"Just remember, in your next life, don't let someone like that be your father!"
