Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Chapter 240 1 After the Night

Even though Grandmother Jia had woken up and seemed fine, Shi Xiangyun was still a little worried and asked Daiyu in a nasal voice, "Sister Lin, the old ancestor fell asleep again. Is it really okay?"

"Don't worry, grandma's body is slowly recovering, so she needs more sleep so that she can recover faster."

Shi Xiangyun nodded in confusion, and her worries were slightly relieved.

Because they needed to take care of the sick, Shi Xiangyun and the others moved back to Jia's mother's courtyard. While Jia's mother was asleep, Daiyu also went to visit Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Feng.

There was a small disturbance on Wang Xifeng's side.

After Jia Lian was taken away that day, the concubines became restless and even went to Wang Xifeng to make trouble.

But it was quickly suppressed by Qinghe, and Wang Xifeng even had someone prepare several doses of contraceptive soup and gave them to the new concubines.

After knowing this, Daiyu couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Wang Xifeng: Sister Feng is still the decisive Sister Feng. Even if she no longer cares about Jia Lian as much as before, she still cannot tolerate other concubines having children, of course Ping'er is an exception.

Later in the conversation, Wang Xifeng comforted Daiyu: "Don't be afraid, dear sister. After all, my uncle is still in the Wang family. As long as we don't participate in the rebellion, there won't be any big problems!"

She was so rough that Daiyu couldn't help but laugh and cry.

In order to prevent Wang Xifeng from going down the path of self-destruction again, Daiyu couldn't help but educate her about the power struggle, especially the cruelty of "the dog is cooked after the rabbit dies" and "the sun and the moon compete for glory".

After finishing her speech, Wang Xifeng's originally slightly proud face turned pale, and she murmured to herself: "It can't be true..."

"Who can say for sure? Since Second Brother Lian is unreliable, you have to nurture the one in your belly. Otherwise, how long can you last if you always rely on the achievements made decades ago?"

Wang Xifeng lowered her head and thought for a long time, and finally agreed with Daiyu's words: "Since my husband can no longer be relied on, I can only cultivate my son in the future!"

Watching Wang Xifeng's transformation, Daiyu felt both relieved and helpless. This was the way things were in this era, where the fate of most women's honor and disgrace depended on men.

Thinking of this, Daiyu walked back to Lady Jia's courtyard with particularly heavy steps.

But she did not forget to turn to Lady Wang's yard first to show her face. After all, she would not let anyone criticize her for her etiquette.

At this moment, Mrs. Wang's yard was very lively.

Daiyu guessed that those who did not go to the old lady's yard all ran here to show their courtesy.

She originally just wanted to come for the formality and leave, but who knew that Mrs. Wang would not let her go so easily.

"Girl, this is a time of trouble, why are you still running around? You should stay in your own yard!"

Daiyu nodded slightly and made a common greeting: "Grandmother fainted yesterday. I went to see her in the morning and went to my aunt's yard on the way. I heard this morning that my second aunt almost fainted when she heard the news yesterday, so I came to visit her."

A trace of displeasure flashed across Mrs. Wang's face, and the reproach in her tone became even stronger: "Who is so long-tongued that he spreads such nonsense!"

Daiyu looked around Mrs. Wang's inner room with a proper smile and said calmly, "Yes! I saw that my second aunt looked very good, so I knew that Xueyan must have heard it wrong. It must be those gossipy maids who talked nonsense. When I go back, I will definitely teach those maids a lesson, so that they don't believe everything they hear and shake people's hearts for no reason."

Daiyu's attitude was respectful and appropriate, and her words were flawless and could not be faulted at all.

"Since my second aunt is in good health, I am relieved. I will not disturb her rest."

After saying this, she bowed slightly again, then leisurely left with the maids.

Mrs. Wang looked at Daiyu's back. Even though she was extremely unhappy, she could do nothing about it and could only endure it.

The old women sitting around were all very tough and naturally could hear the tension in the two men's tone.

For a moment, everyone was silent, not daring to say anything more at this critical juncture.

Mrs. Wang looked around with a gloomy face, and her eyes fell on Li Wan who was standing by and serving. She said coldly, "I have nothing to do here. You don't have to serve here. Go back."

She almost said directly: Stop standing here and getting in my way.

Li Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and felt grateful to Daiyu: If it weren't for Daiyu's arrival, she would probably have to continue to follow the rules in Mrs. Wang's room, and she didn't know when she would be able to get away.

She didn't dare to do half a bow like Daiyu did. She respectfully performed a standard blessing bow, then lowered her head and slowly retreated.

Halfway through the walk, she could vaguely hear Mrs. Wang complaining in dissatisfaction: "I really regret marrying Zhu'er to this wife. If it weren't for the master's insistence..."

Li Wan couldn't hear clearly what was said afterwards.

Her steps paused slightly, a feeling of sadness welled up in her heart. She didn't know when, her eyes were filled with tears, and each teardrop fell on her dark embroidered shoes.

She didn't dare to stay, for fear of being noticed by Mrs. Wang. After leaving the hall, she quickened her pace and left Mrs. Wang's yard.

I can only complain quietly in the dead of night: "When will this kind of life end?"

Daiyu and her group left Mrs. Wang's courtyard. Seeing that there was no one around, Lan Rui could not help but complain to Daiyu in a low voice: "Xueyan must have heard it wrong! Why didn't the young lady tell your aunt just now?"

Daiyu smiled and shook her head: "It's just a formality, why bother talking to her? What's the point of arguing about who is right and who is wrong?

As for Sister Feng, perhaps she was previously hindered by the women in the courtyard. When she thinks about it, she will find a way to persuade Mrs. Xing to take care of her grandmother.

If I was late for a while, I could say that I forgot because I was busy. But if I never went to my grandmother's house to take care of her, or even didn't show up, that would be unacceptable!

The two uncles were only detained temporarily, and they were not really convicted. When everything returns to normal, what happened now will slowly become apparent, wearing away his patience bit by bit, until the last straw that breaks the camel's back..."

As Daiyu spoke, she leaned close to Lan Rui's ear and suddenly made a "bang" sound, which frightened the maids who were listening to her long speech attentively.

"Haha!" Daiyu's prank was successful and she laughed happily.

Lan Rui was so angry at Daiyu's sudden action that she stamped her feet: "Girl! You can't tease me like this!"

Daiyu laughed even more happily.

She was teasing them like this on purpose to lighten the atmosphere.

However, even though Daiyu was deliberately making jokes, the maids still remembered what she said. They knew that what Daiyu said was definitely not groundless.

Sure enough, after Daiyu and her sisters had lunch, Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng brought Yuan Jie to Lady Jia's courtyard.
