Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Chapter 249 Daiyu is serious

Grandmother Jia's eyes were dull, and her gaze towards Daiyu seemed to be out of focus. She said weakly, "It's Yu'er! I squinted for a while. As soon as I closed my eyes, I saw your mother before she got married."

As she spoke, two lines of tears slid down her cheeks, dripping onto her luxurious court dress, and disappeared in an instant.

Daiyu put the food box at her feet and took out a handkerchief to wipe away Jia Mu's tears.

"Grandma, don't be so sad. If my mother were still alive, she would be sad to see you like this!"

Hearing this, Jia's mother was even more grief-stricken. She hugged Daiyu's small body and cried bitterly, "If Min'er knew all this, she would definitely blame me for being useless! Wuuwuwu——"

Daiyu didn't know whether Jia Min would blame her mother, but she knew that before her death, Jia Min was still worried about not being able to give Lin Ruhai a son.

That scene was quite shocking to the little Lin Daiyu.

"My Min'er lost her father when she was very young. After that, she was spoiled by me. How could she bear such a great injustice?"

Daiyu patted Grandmother Jia's back and comforted her, "Since Lai Da mentioned Wang, I must ask Wang for clarification."

Grandmother Jia paused in her crying, but did not speak immediately.

"Is Grandma going to stop me?"

Although Daiyu asked this, she would not let Wang have an easy time regardless of whether Lady Jia tried to stop her or not - the only difference was whether she did it secretly or openly.

Grandmother Jia sat up straight from Daiyu's arms and said, "I am worried about the Wang family."

Hearing what Grandmother Jia said, Daiyu felt a complex emotion surge from the bottom of her heart.

Although she had anticipated that Lady Jia would have many concerns, she couldn't help feeling uncomfortable when she heard it with her own ears.

As a result, her tone became sharper: "A dignified Duke's Mansion is now so afraid of the Wang family! But why doesn't grandma try to revive the Jia family, but instead allows second cousin Lian to be absurd and cousin Baoyu to be arrogant?"

Grandmother Jia was speechless after hearing Daiyu's question and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

She knew that what Daiyu said was right, but given the Jia family's current predicament, it was not easy to revive the family.

She was old and didn't have many years left to live. She was willing but unable to do anything. She just wanted to maintain superficial harmony. As for what would happen to her children and grandchildren after she was gone, she couldn't see or control it.

But Daiyu didn't intend to let Grandmother Jia get away with it easily: "Even if it's the Wang family, they have to worry about such a thing once it gets out, it will affect the family's reputation!"

She guessed Lady Jia's bottom line and felt that the ugly affairs within the family should not be spread outside, and Jia Zheng was a staunch believer in "family disgrace should not be made public."

Daiyu threw out her bottom line: "After all, it was the mistress of the Lin family who was murdered. I just want a result. I never thought of sending her to the government."

She was not stupid. There was no solid evidence for what happened more than 20 years ago. Lai Dayi's testimony alone was not enough to convict Wang.

But if it was handled within the Jia family, it would be different. As long as Lady Jia and Jia Zheng agreed, Wang would have nowhere to escape.

In this life, I can only stay with the green lamp and ancient Buddha, and I can never leave the room again.

Seeing Daiyu's determined look, Grandmother Jia knew that this girl was serious.

She finally compromised: "Call her over to ask her later. After all, she is the mistress of the house, so we have to give her a chance to explain herself."

Although Grandmother Jia was inclined to believe that Wang had indeed done such a bad thing, she also wanted to understand the reason behind it.

"Sure! Then please ask the two uncles and the eldest aunt to come and listen, but remember to avoid being seen by others. I'm worried that Wang will notice something is wrong and cause trouble."

Grandmother Jia was shocked. She realized that Daiyu was not going to leave any way for Wang to survive!

Only then did she re-examine the granddaughter in front of her: she was not tall, but she looked very heroic, even more fierce than her mother.

In the next moment, the fierceness on Daiyu's face disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a sweet smile.

She took out a bowl of rouge rice porridge from the food box, held it in front of Grandmother Jia with both hands, and said softly: "Grandma, please try this porridge. The kitchen has been cooking it for a whole morning. It smells so good!"

The speed at which his expression changed was so fast that even Lady Jia was shocked.

She couldn't help but recall what Lai Da had said before: The old are replaced by the new.

She couldn't help but sigh and comforted herself in her heart, the victims had come to her door to ask for justice, how could she stop them?

"Okay, call Amber in."

After giving instructions to Amber, Grandmother Jia seemed to have lost her life again and collapsed on the armchair.

Daiyu handed the rice porridge to Grandmother Jia again and persuaded her, "Grandma, please eat some. It's still early for dinner, don't starve yourself."

Thinking that there would be a big storm waiting for her to face later, Grandmother Jia took the bowl and started drinking.

At this moment, Jia Zheng was being affectionate in Aunt Zhao's room when he suddenly received a summons from Lady Jia. He was a little confused.

When he arrived at Rongqing Hall, Jia Zheng found that not only did Lady Jia call him, but Jia She and Lady Xing were also present, and especially Daiyu, who was sitting quietly beside them.

Now he was even more confused about what Lady Jia was up to.

Seeing that everyone was present, Jia's mother began to speak, "There is an old story that I want you to witness. You can listen behind the green gauze cabinet in a while.

Remember, don't make any noise. If you disturb Daiyu's question, I will regard the person who makes the noise as an accomplice!"

Grandmother Jia's words were so powerful that everyone felt a chill in their hearts and had to put away their previous casual attitude.

Jia She was confused and asked puzzledly: "Why do you let this little girl ask?"

Madam Xing hurriedly pulled Jia She to her side and said, "Mother, I understand. Don't worry, we won't make any noise that might disturb Miss Lin!"

As she spoke, she pulled Jia She towards the back of the green gauze cabinet, fearing that Jia She would ask some more stupid questions.

Even though no one was around, I could still hear Madam Xing's voice: "Mother told you to listen, so just listen. Don't care who's asking the question!"

Daiyu curled her lips and smiled slightly. It seemed that Mrs. Xing had been with Wang Xifeng for a long time, and her personality had become a little more straightforward. She thought that she would not let Jia She do whatever he wanted as she did in the past.

To ensure that everything went smoothly, Daiyu specifically told Xueyan and Lanrui to follow them and stay behind the green gauze cabinet.

Grandmother Jia was a little embarrassed and asked, "Are these two maids safe? They won't go out and say anything!"

"Grandma, don't worry. They are all my people and will never tell Dad about the affairs of the Jia Mansion."

This was exactly what Grandmother Jia was worried about. After hearing Daiyu's assurance, she nodded with relief.

After a while, Mrs. Wang came in with her people.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Grandmother Jia staring at her unkindly. Her heart skipped a beat and she immediately had a bad feeling.

However, Mrs. Wang still tried to suppress her anxiety, pretending to be calm, and sat down opposite Daiyu, asking tentatively: "Mother sent someone to call me here, what's the matter? Today is Xichun's birthday, and I have to go back to make arrangements!"
