Chapter 95 Miss Lin, did you really hit Master Huan?
Yuan Hongqu didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but having been in this world for so long, she couldn't see whether the direction of the Dream of the Red Chamber world had changed.
Whether she can completely change Daiyu's fate remains to be seen.
Daiyu was her student, and later in the Grand View Garden, Xiangling followed Daiyu to learn poetry, so she could be considered Daiyu's student. This was their special fate!
Furthermore, Dream of the Red Chamber begins with Xiangling, who is the first among the Twelve Beauties of Jinling in the secondary register. If her fate can be changed, then Daiyu's fate can certainly be changed as well.
So, the moment she saw Xiangling, a thought came to her mind:
She wants to conduct an experiment to reverse the Dream of the Red Chamber and change Xiangling's "truly pitiful" fate!
After all, the grand drama of Dream of the Red Chamber hasn't even begun yet; there's still time...
The weather was clear that day; it was a rare sight in the depths of winter in the north, with not a breath of wind.
"Daiyu, would you like to go back to your own home?"
Although Yuan Hongqu had countless reasons to want to leave Rongguo Mansion, the most important reason was Daiyu's wish.
If Daiyu was unwilling, then she would have to use other methods to purge the people around her and ensure that Daiyu would not be harmed by any rumors.
"Granny, is it because I hit Huan-ge'er yesterday...?" Daiyu's eyes were as clear as ever. Although she was young, she always saw things very clearly.
Yuan Hongqu felt a pang of pain in her heart; this child was so heartbreaking.
She shook her head.
"That matter is nothing. I'm afraid your second aunt will send someone to apologize to you later!"
Daiyu's eyes lit up. "Since it has nothing to do with that matter, I'm relieved. I was just afraid that hitting Huan-ge'er might have upset his family, making them think I was being unruly and bullying them..."
“You are his cousin, so it is only right that you teach him the right principles. It’s just that he is too unruly. If Daiyu has the ability, she should still intervene if she encounters similar situations in the future.”
Hearing this, Daiyu smiled, took Yuan Hongqu's hand again, and said earnestly,
"Granny, let's go home."
Yuan Hongqu nodded. "After Second Madam Lian finishes her work, I'll go with her to see the old lady and tell her about this. You can go and say goodbye to the sisters. We'll pack up here and be back in just two or three days."
"Yes, Grandmother's house is nice, and it's lively with my sisters and I together, but it's never really my home..." Daiyu murmured softly. "Even if Mother could come back here, this wouldn't be her home anymore..."
"Why be sad? Once we get back to the Lin family, you can do whatever you want. It's your home. Even if you tear it down, no one will say a word against you." Yuan Hongqu affectionately stroked her braid.
Daiyu smiled, her smile radiant.
"Yes, that's my home. My father wrote to me the day before yesterday, saying that it's getting cold and I should come home to stay. Our warm attire is like spring all year round. My father also said that I'm the only son of the Lin family, and now besides him, I'm the only one left in the Lin family. Since he's not in the capital, he's letting this 'little monkey' be the king for now..."
“Granny, I don’t think these are the words my father would say.” Daiyu laughed even more heartily. She hadn’t had a chance to share the contents of the letter with Granny Yuan yet.
Yuan Hongqu was also surprised that a dignified third-place scholar would say such a thing.
Although Lin Ruhai in her memory was not as rigid as Jia Zheng, he was definitely not the kind of father who would write such loving words about his daughter directly in a letter.
“Since your father has entrusted the Lin family mansion to you, once we return home, if you are willing, you can learn to manage the household from Mama Mu and Steward Lin. They manage the Lin family mansion very well, asking you eight times a month when you will be going back to live!” Yuan Hongqu said with a smile as she assigned the homework.
"Granny, please be kind to me. I'm still young, and I have Mama Mu and Steward Lin to take care of me. Besides, it's so cold outside, and Sister Feng and Steward Lin can't even sleep in every day. I can't get up. Granny, you also said that I'm still growing. What if I don't get enough sleep and don't grow tall?" Daiyu smiled slyly, completely shutting down what Yuan Hongqu was about to say.
"A young lady like you can't be lazy," Yuan Hongqu joked with her.
“I’m not lazy at all, Granny. When we get home, I want to learn Tai Chi from you. I need to be even better at it. Right now I’m still young and you all protect me. When I grow up, it will be my turn to protect you,” Daiyu said.
“Okay.” Yuan Hongqu’s nose tingled a little. “Our Daiyu will definitely grow up healthy and happy.”
"Miss, Granny Yuan, Zhou Rui's wife has brought some people over, saying they are here on the orders of the Second Madam to deliver some things to you," the maidservant reported.
The two exchanged a glance; sure enough, they had arrived.
Zhou Rui's wife came in with four young maids, each carrying something.
One person was carrying two bolts of cloth, another was carrying a box of books, and the other two were carrying a tray with several exquisite pieces of jewelry, which looked to have been carefully selected and were suitable for a girl of Daiyu's age to wear.
The last maid was carrying a tray containing a small, open box filled with ink sticks that gleamed faintly with gold, giving it an antique feel.
It seems that Jia Zheng was the one who brought out the books and ink sticks.
"Miss Lin, are you at home? Didn't you go out to play today?" Zhou Rui's wife greeted her warmly.
"Please sit down, Sister Zhou," Daiyu said softly. Upon hearing the maid announce Zhou Rui's arrival, she immediately composed herself and adopted the demeanor of a young lady from a prominent family.
Zhou Rui's eyes seemed to be playing tricks on him, so he blinked hard, wondering to himself:
How could such a dignified and quiet girl possibly beat up Master Huan? Look at her thin appearance, how could she be as strong as Master Huan?
But yesterday, Granny Liu, who was cleaning in the garden, said with certainty that it was Miss Lin who hit Master Huan. Don't underestimate her because she's small; she kicked Master Huan so lightly that he fell over.
She pinned Huan Sanye to the ground like she was pinning down a chick, and Huan Sanye couldn't even struggle.
The third sister was completely dumbfounded.
Zhou Rui's wife didn't see it with her own eyes, so even if what Granny Liu said was true, she wouldn't believe it.
Especially now, Zhou Rui's wife has personally witnessed Miss Lin leaning softly against the large cushion on the chair. Such a delicate and frail beauty probably doesn't even have the strength to pluck a flower.
However, the second wife sent this gift to Miss Lin, saying it was to thank her for helping them discipline their wayward son, and that it was a special thank-you gift for Miss Lin.
So, actually, Miss Lin did hit Master Huan yesterday, didn't she?
Zhou Rui's wife was torn internally, but after getting to the point, she couldn't help but ask:
"Miss Lin, did you really hit Master Huan?"
