Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

After hearing these words, Xue Pan felt a little more at ease.

At first, these servants kept a close watch on him, and he behaved well for a while. But as time went on, Xue Pan started to invite them to drink and gamble, and later he used this as evidence against them and started to act recklessly.

Xue Pan was filled with annoyance. Why was he so unlucky today? He went out for a drink and ended up running into people from the Five Cities Army? And why did he start a fight with them after hearing a few words of flattery from strangers?

Now that the matter had become so serious, Xue Pan was sent directly to Jia Zheng and had no chance to escape.

Mrs. Wang also hurried over after hearing the news. Looking at her sister and her useless son, she walked over to Jia Zheng and said to him, "Master, you still have to teach the child slowly."

Jia Zheng glared at Mrs. Wang and scolded her, "Although we treat our servants leniently in our house, we cannot indulge them blindly like this! Look, this is the house you manage well! I told them to keep a close eye on our cousin, but what happened? They actually followed him out to drink and have fun! You should be glad that he didn't take your son with him!"

Mrs. Wang had a wooden face as she looked at Aunt Xue and Xue Pan, making it impossible to tell whether she was happy or angry.

Meanwhile, Daiyu lay on the roof, whispering to herself, "What do you think is going on in Mrs. Wang's mind?"

Although Lingji knew that Daiyu was talking to herself, he still replied, "I don't know."

Daiyu laughed sarcastically and said, "Yes, perhaps only she herself knows what she really thinks!"

Lan Rui was lying on the other side of Daiyu and witnessed the whole thing.

When Lin Ji reported, she happened to be nearby, and followed him out of curiosity. Unexpectedly, the girl was so bold that she lay directly on the roof to peek. Anyone who raised their heads could see the three shining heads.

She tugged at Daiyu's clothes and said, "Miss, this is too obvious. Let's go back!"

Daiyu looked down at the gray wolfskin cloak she was wearing. Although the color was low-key, it was still very different from the tiles on the roof.

She pursed her lips and compromised: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

She took one last look at the servants who were being beaten so hard that they could only groan, and at Jia Baoyu, who arrived last with a pale face, and snorted softly.

Daiyu returned to Lixiangyuan with an unhappy look on her face. As soon as she entered the house, she heard Yingchun ask, "Who has offended you? Why are you still unhappy?"

Daiyu had no intention of covering up for Xue Pan. Anyway, the news would soon spread throughout the Jia Mansion. It was just a pity that she couldn't see Jia Zheng punish Xue Pan with her own eyes!

After all, there is a big difference between what you hear from others and what you see with your own eyes!

She pouted and walked to the kang, watching the silk thread flying in Yingchun's hands. In this respect, Daiyu admired Yingchun very much. In less than half a month, a piece of elegant and refined bamboo embroidery was almost finished.

At that time, use embroidery as the screen core, and then fix it with a belt ring board made of huanghuali or red sandalwood, and match it with a base, and an exquisite and elegant insert-style table screen will be completed.

But in this way... Daiyu stared at Yingchun for a long time, and she couldn't help but teasing her: "Such a good embroidery, I'm afraid only a simple and precious wood like red sandalwood can express my sister's feelings!"

When Yingchun heard this, she immediately put down her needlework and reached out to pinch Daiyu's face: "You little naughty girl, you are teasing me again!"

Daiyu took a half step back, easily dodging Yingchun's hand, and continued to tease, "It was obviously you who wanted to give Lord Wang a gift, but you are trying to curry favor with me. In return, you are asking me to spend money to help you find red sandalwood, huanghuali and other woods. I am so wronged!"

As she spoke, she frowned, spread out her hands, and pretended to be distressed, which really scared Yingchun.

Yingchun lowered her head and thought, calculating how much silver she had on hand and could take out.

Seeing Yingchun's serious look, Daiyu couldn't help laughing out loud: "Good sister, I'm just teasing you!"

"Ah?" Yingchun obviously had not recovered from Daiyu's teasing. She raised her head and looked at Daiyu blankly.

"What? I'm serious! Giving this thing is also my honor. If the wood is bad, it will be a disgrace to me! You don't have to pay for it!" Daiyu took the opportunity to pull the embroidery from Yingchun's hand, unfolded it and looked at it carefully against the light, praising it, "Oh, what kind of brocade is this? How can it be so translucent? I think Lord Wang will love it and put it on his desk every day to admire it!"

Yingchun was embarrassed by Daiyu's teasing and blushed, saying, "You are always so talkative and always know how to tease people!"

She took the embroidery that Daiyu handed back and asked, "Why did you suddenly go out just now? Why did you look unhappy when you came back?"

Daiyu also remembered what happened earlier and immediately perked up. She described to Yingchun what had just happened in vivid detail: "You didn't see how miserable Xue Pan was? I saw his legs were shaking and he was about to wet his pants! Hahaha!"

Yingchun looked out the window and saw that there was no sign of Gu Mama in the yard. She hurriedly warned her, "You should pay attention. Don't let Gu Mama hear it!"

Daiyu winked at her and said, "I asked when I came back. Nanny Gu is in the yard next door. And there are people guarding outside. If Nanny Gu comes over, she will inform me!"

"You!" Yingchun tapped Daiyu's forehead lovingly.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the twelfth lunar month. The news in the capital city of Shenjing did not become any less tense as the New Year approached. Instead, it became increasingly tense.

The Jinyiwei and the Five Cities Army were still searching for something in the city, which made Daiyu a little confused and wondered what the person above meant.

However, Wang Tingyu made great contributions this time by finding the secret decree hidden by the retired emperor, so the emperor found a reason to promote him and give him a higher title.

According to his father's title of General Fuguo, when it came to him, he should have been downgraded to the rank of General Fengguo.

But now, he did not need to downgrade to inherit the title, but directly jumped to become a first-class general of the auxiliary country, serving as the pacification officer of the Southern Pacification Division of the Jinyiwei, and concurrently as an experience officer of the Experience Division.

For a time, Wang Tingyu became a hot figure in the capital, and he was also getting married, which was a double happiness.

People in the Shenjing City all sighed with emotion, saying that the girl from the Chen family was a blessed person. Not only would her future husband be promoted, but she would also become a virtuous woman with an imperial decree once she married.

On the wedding day, Nanny Gu brought gifts to attend the wedding banquet at the General's Mansion.

Daiyu herself did not attend, but accompanied Yingchun to pretend to be sick. In fact, the two of them changed their appearance and secretly came to the road that Wang Tingyu had to take to pick up the bride.
