Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Chapter 166 Where Xiren went

Grandmother Jia hesitated: "Baoyu has already been accepted. It would be inappropriate to drive her out now."

Seeing that Lady Jia was somewhat relenting, Lady Wang thought for a moment and suggested, "In that case, why not give her to a servant? That way it wouldn't be considered a disgrace to her. Nanny Li's son, Li Gui, hasn't married yet, so why not give Xiren to him? That would be a respect for him."

Xiren recalled Li Ma's attitude towards the maids on weekdays, and subconsciously retorted: "No, no! I can't say it, I already..."

"Xiren, you have to think before you answer!" Mrs. Wang interrupted her, her tone threatening, "Your sisters in the same room know your situation best. Are you sure you want to continue?"

Xiren closed her eyes tightly. Although she was unwilling, she finally gave in: "Thank you, madam, for your grace!"

Mrs. Wang signaled to Zhou Rui's wife, who brought her men and pulled Xiren away.

After the others left, Mrs. Wang suggested, "Grandfather, do you think we should move Baoyu to live in the outer courtyard?"

"You've already made up your mind, why are you asking me again? When Yingchun and the other three girls move out, I won't even have anyone to entertain me."

Grandmother Jia closed her eyes and rested, seemingly unmoved by Mrs. Wang's proposal.

"Well, since this has happened, let's move! However, the servants are really sloppy in their service. We should send a few more careful maids to take care of Baoyu."

Seeing that Lady Jia had relented, Lady Wang quickly nodded and agreed, "Yes, I think Aunt Li is very good, and she is usually very strict with the maids."

Jia's mother leaned back on the armchair, looking extremely tired, and waved to Mrs. Wang: "Go, you don't need to serve me in the evening."

As Mrs. Wang and her group left, Grandmother Jia slowly opened her eyes and her gaze fell on Yuanyang.

She looked at him for a long time and said, "I know you and Xiren grew up together and have a special relationship. But she did something wrong this time. You shouldn't use me to stand up for her because of personal feelings."

When Yuanyang heard this, she felt a chill running up from her back. She lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly into Lady Jia's eyes, and clenched her hands, hanging at her sides.

After a long while, Jia's mother sighed and said in a slower tone, "Go ahead and find out. Something must have happened today. No one is hiding it from me!"

"Yes." Yuanyang responded and walked out of the hall. She felt a chill on her back and a sense of joy at having escaped death.

She sighed, and instead of going to see Xiren directly, she went to the corner gate of the inner courtyard to inquire for news.

The moment Xiren was dragged out, Daiyu and Yingchun stopped eavesdropping and returned to Lixiangyuan.

It’s nothing, Daiyu is just hungry.

At night, Daiyu and Yingchun were getting ready to go to bed when Baishao came back from outside.

Daiyu heard the voices of Baishao and Luluo outside and shouted, "Is Baishao back? I haven't slept yet, come in."

Bai Shao did not go directly into the bedroom, but first went to the charcoal basin in the outer room to dispel the coldness from her body before entering the inner room.

"Miss, Qin took advantage of what happened in the outer study today to reveal the fact that I'm pregnant. I waited until this hour to talk to Qin."

Daiyu and Yingchun were both very excited and had no desire to sleep. They couldn't wait to ask, "Is Sister Qin okay? She didn't really faint because of Qin Zhong!"

Bai Shao smiled and shook her head: "Don't worry, Qin is fine. This was actually within her expectations. She had been waiting for such an opportunity. She originally planned to wait until the Qin family received bad news before she reacted. Now that she has encountered such a good opportunity, it is more natural. Even if something happens to the Qin family in the future, no one will blame this child because of this."

"I feel relieved now." Daiyu saw that Qin Keqing accepted it well, and her worries were put to rest. She had always been worried that Qin Keqing would worry about the Qin family's affairs, but now it seemed that she was worrying too much.

"Has the East Palace informed the ancestor?"

"I have informed you. I heard that Mrs. Shi was very happy when she heard the news!"

Daiyu waved her hand to let Bai Shao go back to rest, and looked at Yingchun with burning eyes: "Let's go see Sister Qin tomorrow!"

Yingchun couldn't help laughing: "I can see clearly that you don't want to go to school. Do you still want to hide it from the ancestors?"

"Occasionally, the ancestors won't bother with me!"

On the second day, the team visiting Qin Keqing not only included Tanchun and Xichun, but even Wang Xifeng, who was pregnant, boarded the small carriage heading to the East Palace.

"My ancestor! You have to be careful!" Daiyu carefully supported Wang Xifeng, and together with Sanchun, surrounded her, fearing that she might get into trouble.

Wang Xifeng has been nearly five months pregnant, and her face has gradually become plumper. She looks very charming and is in no way inferior to Qin Keqing.

She smiled and patted Daiyu's hand, saying, "I'm not that delicate!"

When the group arrived at Qin Keqing's courtyard, Qin Keqing had already received the notice and sent Jia Rong to the outer courtyard.

Only Wang Xifeng and the four younger ones were allowed to enter the inner room, and the other maids were left outside.

Qin Keqing narrowed her eyes and sat up suddenly when she saw that no one was around. This frightened Daiyu and the others: "Oh! Don't move!"

Qin Keqing showed a mischievous smile on her face and whispered, "I'm really fine! I was just pretending to faint!"

Wang Xifeng, with a bulging belly, ordered Daiyu to support Qin Keqing, while Yingchun and her two sisters brought two embroidered cushions and sat around Qin Keqing's bed.

"Sister Qin, we won't tell anyone that you pretended to faint!" Daiyu looked at Sanchun, "right?"

Yingchun quickly nodded to assure him. Although Tanchun and Xichun didn't understand why, seeing their two sisters saying so, they also nodded in agreement.

"What's going on? Why are you pretending to faint?" Wang Xifeng lowered her head and thought about it. She hadn't heard anything about what happened in the East Mansion. "Could it be that Brother Zhen is being ridiculous again?"

Qin Keqing thought of the slap mark on Jia Zhen's face, which was still faintly visible, and couldn't help laughing: "No, no, the mark on his face hasn't disappeared yet, it has nothing to do with him."

She paused, turned her gaze to Tanchun and Xichun, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Wang Xifeng guessed her concerns and advised, "Well! There is nothing you can't say. Yingchun will start planning for marriage in two years, and the younger ones should also be informed. Otherwise, they will be too naive and will suffer losses when they go out!"

"Sister-in-law!" When talking about her marriage, Yingchun couldn't help but blush even if she was the reincarnation of an old cucumber.

With Wang Xifeng's encouragement, Qin Keqing told them exactly what happened in the outer study room yesterday. However, she did not mention that it was Daiyu who passed the news to her.

After listening to Qin Keqing's narration, the room fell into silence, and everyone was silently digesting the information contained in it.
