Seeing that Lin Daiyu still wanted to struggle, Madam Wang snorted coldly, "I represent the old lady."
He was distracted while looking at the letter of severance and hesitated to sign it.
Lin Daiyu's heart was pounding in her chest. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Does Madam want to ask the elder sister in the palace for help?"
"It's just a matter of a word from my eldest sister, please help me, second aunt."
Madam Wang glanced at Lin Daiyu and said, "Don't think about those useless things."
A mere maidservant wants Yuan Chun's help?
What a huge face!
When she's angry, she calls her "Madam," but she wants Yuan Chun to call her "Second Aunt" for her sake. How hypocritical!
We can't let Yuan Chun be a burden to her!
"Run!"
He then signed his name and stamped his seal.
Lin Daiyu finally felt relieved after receiving the letter of severance. She then said to Grandmother Jia inside the room, "Yu'er bids farewell to Grandmother! I wish Grandmother peace and good health!"
Grandmother Jia saw everything clearly from inside the room and felt a little sorry for her. Was she going too far?
"Grandma, we don't have the skills. The Empress in the palace needs more now. We can't ruin the Empress and Baoyu's future because of an outsider."
After listening to Lady Wang's words, Grandmother Jia nodded, "You're right. Did the Empress say she could make an exception?"
I can't come up with tens of thousands of yuan all at once!
Now all we can do is send a message to the palace saying that our home was originally a gift from the Emperor, and that a little renovation would be enough to welcome the Empress's visit.
"Her Majesty said it would be best to have a separate courtyard, as that would show its grandeur!"
Grandmother Jia was in a dilemma. "Go and ask each household first, how much they have. I remember you still have tens of thousands. Take them out as well."
Lady Wang was furious. That was something she had left for Yuan Chun. If it were taken out, how would Yuan Chun manage to win favors in the palace?
"I remember our family left 50,000 taels of silver with the Zhen family. Does the old lady not write letters anymore? Can we take it out and use it?"
Grandmother Jia nodded, "Yes, there are fifty thousand taels. I'll take out twenty thousand, you can contribute thirty thousand, and with the scattered amounts from each family, it should be enough."
Madam Wang sipped her tea and nodded. It seemed that this was the only way for now. She wondered if the money that had been lent out last time could be recovered this time.
Yuan Chun was urging her urgently; she absolutely could not be shortchanged.
"By the way, old lady, I met a young lady yesterday. She was pretty and generous, and she was also upright in her conduct. I think she would be a good match for Baoyu."
Grandmother Jia became interested. "Oh, whose family is it?"
"I've met the old lady before. She's the youngest daughter of Commander Li of the Five Cities Garrison. She's fourteen years old this year."
Grandmother Jia thought for a moment, then hesitated, "After all, he's three years older..."
"As the saying goes, 'A woman three years older than you is a golden brick.' When she comes in, she can manage the household, and Yuan Chun will be satisfied."
Upon hearing that it was Yuan-chun who had made the request, Grandmother Jia said without hesitation, "Since Yuan-chun instructed you, you should ask her first."
Lady Wang was quite satisfied with Grandmother Jia's approval, but she thought that since none of the young ladies in the family were engaged, it wouldn't look good if Baoyu, who was so young, were to be engaged first. She thought it would be better to settle the matter together today. "What about the marriages of the young ladies?"
"Yingchun, you should speak to Madam Xing. Tanchun, you decide what to do. Xichun is still young, so let's wait a bit longer."
"We'll let the old lady see the family after we've chosen them."
Thinking about the look in Lin Daiyu's eyes as she left, Grandmother Jia was a little uneasy and sent someone to inquire about the Lin family's whereabouts in the past two days.
Upon learning that the Lin family was reselling furniture, he felt relieved and stopped asking about their affairs.
Looking at the brand-new furniture in front of her, Shen Ajiao was in an extremely good mood. She then looked at the document severing ties again and again, and with a wave of her hand, she ordered it to be framed and carefully preserved.
What are you looking at?
Shen Ajiao and Lin Daiyu looked up at the same time and saw Lin Ruhai swinging in through the study window like a swing.
[Atavistic? Like a monkey.]
Lin Daiyu: Madam...
Lin Ruhai… My silence was deafening…
"Father, why did you come out the window?"
"inconvenient."
【Inconvenient~】
Lin Ruhai: So the situation Lin'an described doesn't exist, um...
Lin Ruhai took the document from Shen Ajiao's hand. He was first shocked, then calm, and looked at Shen Ajiao, who was still hesitating.
[You're so slow and indecisive, a grown man like a twisted candy. If you're going to talk, just say it already! Don't delay my roast duck meal. Can you afford to compensate me for ruining my mood?]
Lin Daiyu nodded. She had suffered some grievances these past few days, so she and her wife ordered a master chef from a restaurant to come to their home to roast duck.
"Is there something you need, Father?"
Lin Ruhai: It seems he's overthinking things.
"The Shen family is included this time."
Shen Ajiao looked indifferent; what did it have to do with her?
Why am I going to be arrested too?
[What's going on, bro? Is this involving joint liability?]
[Dead, dead.]
"Prince Bei Jing saved the Shen family."
Chen Ajiao had just breathed a sigh of relief when she was incredulous, her face contorting into a bitter expression.
Wh...what?
Are these two in cahoots?
Then, sobbing, she said, "Could you..."
"able!"
His wife had never asked for anything before, but since it was the first time, he was determined to help. As long as she didn't die, he still had a way to help.
Is killing someone really that simple?
If that's the case, please also kill off the conspicuous bag.
Lin Ruhai...
The moonlight is still too bright tonight.
What should we eat tonight?
[Eat farts!]
"Would you like some roast duck?"
Hey Lin, do you want some roast duck? I can bring you one if you do.
"Roast duck is also good."
"I've been at home with nothing to do these past few days, so I'll show you what I can do."
Ha, men are so easy to catch!
