Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Soon, a middle-aged man in his forties walked into the hall with his head lowered, and knelt down at the floor-to-ceiling grille in front of the inner room: "Hello, young lady."

"Uncle Gong, get up!" Daiyu glanced at Nanny Wang, who immediately stepped forward to help him up. Gong Honglei stood up, still staring at the ground with his head down.

"Uncle Gong, Daddy said before that he has sent another person to Beijing to clean up the old Lin family residence in Shenjing. Send two people to Beijing on horseback and have the housekeeper report back to me. I want to understand the situation in the Jia Mansion first. I don't want to rush in like a headless fly."

"Yes!" Gong Honglei accepted the order respectfully and started to think about it in his mind.

Nanny Wang felt uneasy when she heard Daiyu's instructions. "Young lady, these servants are fine. The old lady must love you dearly. When you return to her, she will surely take good care of these useless people."

Daiyu's eyes were as dark as ink, like the vast night sky, which made Wang Ma absent-minded for a moment.

She looked at Nanny Wang and asked two questions calmly: "I heard that the Jia family has a cousin who is two years older than me and is very much loved by the old lady. Between me and that cousin, who does father love more? And what about grandmother?"

"Of course it is..." Nanny Wang was stunned halfway through her words and felt her scalp tingling.

Daiyu's tone was flat: "You already understand the truth, how can I let my fate depend on this illusory favor? Forget it, I am just a plant with its roots removed, whether I can survive or not is up to fate."

Hearing this, Nanny Wang's eyes moistened and she almost cried: "Young lady, you better be open-minded! I will listen to you in everything!"

"Mom always treats me as a child. If I really were a child, I would just play and make trouble and live my life in a muddle." Daiyu thought to herself: That's right, I'm not the child who knew nothing before.

Nanny Wang hugged Daiyu tightly, wiped her tears, swore, and vowed to listen to her in the future.

When they arrived in the capital that day, Daiyu and her companions disembarked from their boat and saw a sedan chair with Rongguo Mansion lanterns and a horse-drawn carriage carrying luggage parked on the pier.

However, these four sedans and one car obviously could not accommodate so many people from the Lin family.

Daiyu covered her mouth and laughed secretly, and pinched Nanny Wang's arm secretly.

Nanny Wang understood what she meant, and called out to Gong Honglei, "Manager Gong, go hire a few carts quickly. The young lady's stuff can't fit in this cart! When you get to the stables later, don't rush to unload your stuff. Wait until the young lady has decided on a place to live before you move. You must keep the young lady's stuff safe!"

These words were spoken in an extremely impolite manner, and the sedan bearers who came to pick up the people from Rongguo Mansion were stunned.

Nanny Zhang's face turned pale and blue, and feeling the blaming gaze from the maid who came to receive the guests, Nanny Zhang felt that she had completely lost face as a housemaid.

Forget it, I just hope this sick guy doesn’t report it to the old lady.

Daiyu sat in the sedan chair and felt a bumpy ride, which was as uncomfortable as riding on a boat.

However, after entering the city, she still looked out through the gauze curtain. The streets were bustling and crowded. Compared with the exquisiteness of Yangzhou, this place had a touch of roughness and grandeur.

After walking for another half a day, I suddenly saw two big stone lions lying on the north side of the street. On the plaque at the main gate were five big characters "建安宁国府" (Built by Imperial Order).

Not far further west, there is Rongguo Mansion, which also has three gates.

It's worthy of being two palaces on the same street!

Finally! Daiyu's hands trembled slightly with excitement. At this moment, she was like a boxer waiting outside the ring, waiting for the cheers from the inside.

Boom, boom, boom - her heartbeat sounded like a drum, and the makeup on her face was like the morning glow.

Two maids lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, one on the left and one on the right. Daiyu leaned out, and her bright little face appeared in front of the maids and old women. They all gasped.

Daiyu was calm and composed, not feeling the least bit uneasy.

When Nanny Zhang sent someone to deliver the letter, Zhou Ruijia was right beside Lady Wang. So she heard everything Nanny Zhang said clearly. But now, it seemed that Lin Daiyu was not a sickly woman at all!

"Sisters and mothers, are you stunned by what you see?" Daiyu smiled playfully.

She stretched out a hand and placed it in front of Zhou Ruijia, who then came back to his senses.

Mrs. Zhou was cursing Aunt Zhang in her heart, but Daiyu had no way of knowing it.

Lin Daiyu gently held Zhou Ruijia's hand and nodded at her with a smile. When the two of them walked to the hanging flower gate, Daiyu suddenly stopped and said to the Lin family maids behind them: "Xueyan, Zijuan, you two follow me. Lanrui, you take the other maids to find Manager Gong, and come in with my luggage later."

"Yes!"

The maids present exchanged glances with each other, and there was an inexplicable tension in the air. At the same time, a thought came to their minds: this Miss Lin might not be simple.

Behind the hanging flower gate was a corridor, and in front was a hall. Daiyu walked while silently observing the furnishings around her, with a smile on her face, allowing Zhou Ruijia to secretly observe her.

After walking for about half an incense stick of time, they reached the main courtyard at the back. A few maids in bright clothes were sitting on the steps. When they saw them coming, they hurriedly came up with a smile and said, "The old lady was just talking about Miss Lin, and you are here by chance."

When Daiyu entered the inner room, she saw two maids supporting an old lady with snow-white hair who was almost approaching her.

The moment she saw the old woman, Daiyu's eyes were sore and tears came out unconsciously: "Grandma!"

She was about to salute when the old woman hugged her: "Min'er! My sweetheart!"

Everyone present was moved and sobbed with their hands covering their faces.

Grandmother Jia and Daiyu hugged each other and cried for a long time. After being persuaded by everyone, they gradually stopped crying and sat down in the seat of honor together.

Grandmother Jia introduced everyone present to Daiyu one by one, and Daiyu greeted them one by one.

When Mrs. Wang was introduced, Daiyu raised her head after paying her respects and stared at Mrs. Wang for a long time, which made her feel uncomfortable, as if she was back to the time when she first married into the Jia family.

"Daiyu, what are you looking at your second aunt for?" Grandmother Jia let Yuanyang wipe away her tears, but she saw Daiyu tilting her head to look at Mrs. Wang.

Daiyu smiled at her and said, "When mother was still alive, she often told me about her days at home. She said that my grandmother's family had an aunt who was like a bodhisattva. I saw her today and it was exactly the same as mother said."

Hehehe—everyone laughed when they heard that, and the sad atmosphere just now seemed to disappear in an instant.

At this time, Nanny Wang, Xueyan and Zijuan came forward to kowtow to Grandmother Jia and were about to go down to rest, but she saw Daiyu pursed her lips at her in a subtle way. Nanny Wang understood what was going on and waited behind the screen with two maids.

I saw that Grandmother Jia sent two maids to ask Sanchun to come and see Lin Daiyu, but she did not mention where to place her.
