Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Chapter 163: Eating Watermelons and Watching the Fun 1

Yingchun leaned close to Daiyu's ear and whispered, "Do we really not need to tell the ancestors?"

"Don't be nosy. It's better to be still than to move." Daiyu held Yingchun's shoulders, fearing that she would act impulsively and do useless work.

Seeing Yingchun's puzzled expression, Daiyu pointed at the servants who were whispering below and explained, "Look at those people, who can control their mouths? The ancestors will know sooner or later, so why should you and I do anything unnecessary?"

This is indeed the truth, but Yingchun is still a little worried: "Isn't Baoyu going to be beaten to death by Jia Zheng?"

Daiyu sneered and motioned Yingchun to look at Mrs. Wang. She was protecting Baoyu like a chick.

"Look at this situation, will she let Jia Zheng hit her baby?"

Daiyu and Yingchun were chatting animatedly on the roof, but the atmosphere in the house was extremely tense.

Mrs. Wang fainted and collapsed limply on Zhou Ruijia's body; Zhineng hid behind Qin Zhong, huddled together and dared not show her head or even breathe.

Qin Zhong, on the other hand, remained quite calm, showing no embarrassment or shame at being caught red-handed by his elders.

Jia Zheng was shaking with anger, but suddenly he laughed: "Mr. Qin, how is your father's condition?"

Qin Zhong bowed to Jia Zheng in a dignified manner and replied, "Thank you for your concern, uncle. My father is still the same, lying in bed and unable to get up. My aunt is waiting on him every day and cannot get away."

The meaning of this statement is very clear. In his Qin family, only Qin Zhong is the head of the family, which is quite similar to Xue Pan's situation.

This gave Jia Zheng a headache, as he had no idea how this matter would end.

Reporting to the police was absolutely not an option. Actually, his son Jia Baoyu was the most innocent person who was called.

But the incident happened in the Jia family's outer study, so Jia Zheng, as the elder, could not escape blame; and the culprit, Qin Zhong, had angered the elders so much that he fell ill, and he was the only one left who could make the decision at home. It was impossible for his elders to go back and punish him.

Just as he was hesitating, Jia Zheng suddenly remembered someone. He turned aside and told Wang Furen's maid, "Go to the East Palace to find Rong Da Niang and tell her that her brother got into trouble here and ask her to come over immediately."

The little maid nodded and left in a hurry.

Daiyu naturally heard all of this. She called Bai Shao over and whispered a few words to her, asking her to take a detour through the garden and tell Qin Keqing everything that happened in the outer study so that she could be mentally prepared.

"Jia Zheng is too cunning. He invited people here without telling them what the matter is. Isn't this a surprise attack and bullying?" Yingchun also had a good impression of Qin Keqing and felt unfair for her.

Daiyu didn't care and continued to eat melon seeds: "It's okay, I'm here and won't let Sister Qin suffer any loss."

Yingchun's discontent was slightly relieved after hearing Daiyu's words. She didn't notice that she was also eating melon seeds with Daiyu.

It took quite a while to go back and forth to the East Mansion. During the waiting process, the people present were not idle either and took their seats one after another.

Not long after, Mrs. Wang was woken up by Zhou Ruijia's pinch. In a daze, she remembered what happened before she fainted, and there was a hint of anger in her eyes.

Zhineng'er felt her gaze as sharp as a knife scraping at him, and he couldn't help but tremble all over, subconsciously shrinking towards Qin Zhong.

At this time, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai arrived.

On the way here, Xue Baochai had already gotten the maid to talk and knew roughly what had happened.

When Aunt Xue heard this, her legs went weak and she almost fell to her knees in the garden. Fortunately, Xue Baochai supported her in time, but they still stumbled and stood on the side of the road for a long time to recover.

In fact, they were also delaying time and secretly discussing countermeasures.

Xue Baochai helped Aunt Xue into the room. She frowned and said to Xue Pan, "Brother, it's unbecoming to be so disheveled! Why don't you go to the inner room and tidy up!"

Although Xue Pan usually looked like a fearless overlord, he was quite afraid of his sister. Upon hearing this, he obediently went into the inner room.

Xue Baochai was in full force at this moment: she saluted to Lady Wang and Jia Zheng without being servile or overbearing, and then said, "My brother did act a little foolishly, but this time he was in his own room in the outer courtyard after all.

However, you all came so quickly today, which made me wonder if there was someone behind the scenes fanning the flames. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that my brother was caught by my aunt and uncle the first time he messed around with the young masters? "

Daiyu threw away the melon seed shells in her hand and gave Xue Baochai a thumbs up: "Look, this Baojie has both intelligence and EQ. If it weren't for her generation being one generation younger than Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, her aura might even be comparable to theirs!"

Yingchun couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Hey, I thought you hated her!"

"When did I say that?" Daiyu took out a handful of melon seeds from the small bag on her waist without caring. "I just don't want to deal with people like her. She's too cunning. I don't know when I got tricked. It's so tiring!"

Yingchun nodded thoughtfully, reached out and snatched half of the melon seeds from Daiyu's hand, and said, "You'd better eat less! Even if you don't fall down, it's not good to fall on the roof!"

Daiyu stuffed all the melon seeds in her hand to Yingchun, took out another handful from her small bag, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? Throw them on the roof. When it rains, they will all be washed down!"

In the inner room, Xue Pan heard Xue Baochai's words, and as if afraid that the people outside could not hear him, he shouted loudly: "That's right! My little followers are waiting outside the door, who can go and tell the news! I think I was plotted against by your Jia family!"

Just as Jia Zheng was about to explode, he heard Xue Baochai scold him, "Whose little master are you in front of your uncle and aunt?"

After she finished speaking, she smiled again and apologized to Jia Zheng and Lady Wang on behalf of Xue Pan: "My brother has always been the boss at home. This time he was plotted against and was anxious, so he said the wrong thing. You two elders, please be magnanimous and don't argue with him."

Jia Zheng did not answer Xue Baochai directly, but asked Aunt Xue: "Are these two young people now in charge of the Xue family?"

Aunt Xue saw that her son and daughter had not suffered any loss, so she nodded and admitted the matter. Her reaction made Jia Zheng angry and helpless.

Jia Zheng originally intended to provoke Aunt Xue and ask her to come forward to deal with the matter. Unexpectedly, she just gave in and admitted it. He was so angry that he was panting heavily and looked at Mrs. Wang. The meaning in his eyes was self-evident: As a sister, don’t you care about it!
