Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Lan Rui recalled Daiyu's attitude before she left in the afternoon, and asked in confusion: "Miss, didn't you oppose us being together before?"

Daiyu motioned Honglian to come forward, and Honglian immediately wrapped a bath towel around her. The two of them helped Daiyu get out of the bathtub.

Daiyu took the opportunity to pinch Lan Rui's face while she opened her hands and said, "I was just angry at Lingji for not making any progress.

In the afternoon, I asked him to find two scholars to teach them. But he was hesitant and said that he was just a child from a poor family and it was useless for him to study so much. Tell me, should I be angry?

As she said that, she glared at Lan Rui again: "I just scolded him for not making progress, and you come over to show off your love brain. Aren't you deliberately trying to piss me off?"

As Daiyu spoke, she felt her temper rising again. She looked around and suddenly found a water scoop on a small stool beside her.

She suddenly had an idea and picked up the water scoop and hit Lan Rui with it. In this small room, the three of them laughed and made a scene.

Daiyu took advantage of the water scoop and soaked Lanrui and Honglian. She herself was not spared, and her previously dried body became wet again.

"Miss!" Nanny Wang's serious voice sounded outside the door.

This sudden sound immediately stopped the laughter in the ear room. The three girls shut their mouths instantly, like frightened quails.

Honglian walked over and opened the door, while Lanrui and Daiyu hid behind the wooden barrel, only showing half of their heads to look at the door.

Nanny Wang came in, her eyes swept across the water on the ground, and she scolded with a cold face: "How old are you two! You are still playing with the girl! What if the girl catches a cold!"

Nanny Wang's words made Lan Rui and Hong Lian's hearts rise to their throats, but Daiyu's eyes lit up after hearing it. She was just about to say that she pretended to have a cold so that she wouldn't have to go to Grandmother Jia's courtyard for morning visit.

But after hearing what Nanny Wang said next, Daiyu immediately gave up the idea and stood up from behind the wooden barrel honestly.

"Don't think of using the cold weather as an excuse to not go to school. Believe it or not, the old lady will just kick out all the maids around you!" After saying this, Nanny Wang turned around and walked out, going to get a clean towel again.

Daiyu stuck out her tongue at Lanrui and Honglian, and said resignedly, "Look at how much I've sacrificed for you! If you dare not obey me, you'll really let me down!"

"Yes! Girl!"

When Daiyu returned to the main room, she saw Nanny Gu waiting there. She was a little surprised, as this was the first time Nanny Gu had taken the initiative to enter her main room.

She asked curiously, "Madam Gu, you work so hard every day, why don't you take a rest?"

Even though she had been with Daiyu for more than half a year, Gu Mama was still very well behaved. She bowed respectfully to Daiyu with a smile on her face: "I thought you would be curious about the Xue family's daughter."

When she came out of the palace before, she still acted in a cautious and careful manner, not daring to make the slightest mistake.

Recently, after spending a long time with those girls, the coldness in her body gradually faded away and she became more popular.

Today, Grandma Gu seems to have regained her vitality and is no longer like an emotionless puppet.

"Mammy, you should smile more often. You look much younger!" Daiyu pulled Mammy Gu into the inner room, asked her to sit on the kang, and then stared at Mammy Gu with sparkling eyes, waiting for her to tell gossip.

Gu Mama looked at Daiyu's lovely appearance and couldn't help but touch her head. In an instant, she realized her mistake and was about to stand up to apologize, but was pushed down by Daiyu.

"Mammy, I regard you and Mammy Wang as my own mothers! And Mammy Liao is like my aunt, hehe!" Daiyu tilted her head and rubbed it in the palm of Mammy Gu's hand.

Whether in modern times or here, Daiyu has never truly felt maternal love. Before, it was Nanny Wang, and now there is Nanny Gu, and the maternal love expressed by the two is different.

Although she knew that this feeling was mixed with a trace of awe for her master, she still coveted this hard-earned warmth.

"Girl, how dare I be your mother!" Grandma Gu's face showed a rare trace of panic and she waved her hands repeatedly.

Daiyu pouted and insisted, "The maids have been so kind to me in raising me, how can I not be worthy of them? From now on, even if I am your father, I will not dare to neglect you!"

Then, she sat down next to Gu Mama, held her chin with both hands, and urged: "Mama, tell me about Sister Xue!"

Nanny Gu tried hard to ignore the emotion in her heart. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Your sister from the Xue family is extraordinary! If she really entered the palace, she might really achieve something..."

Daiyu did not interrupt Nanny Gu's words, and listened quietly to what she saw and heard in Xue Baochai's yard.

"Although I didn't go into the inner room, the soft curtain leading to the inner room was half-worn, and Miss Baochai's clothes were also half-worn. You can't tell at all that her family is a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. It can be seen that her personality is not ostentatious." Nanny Gu concluded.

Daiyu showed a hint of sarcasm on her face: "If I hadn't known that they brought a large amount of banknotes, gold and silver ornaments, and cloth when they went to the capital, I might have believed this!"

Gu Ma guessed, "Could it be that they don't plan to return to Jinling, so they brought so many things they are used to?"

"Who can say for sure?" Daiyu said carelessly, but what she was actually thinking was: They definitely don't plan to go back.

No matter how later generations studied and continued to write "Dream of the Red Chamber", no one mentioned that the Xue family returned to Jinling.

Gu Mama also fell into deep thought. She suddenly noticed what Daiyu had said before: "How did you know that her family brought a large sum of money and cloth when they went to the capital?"

Daiyu thought to herself that this was not good, and smiled awkwardly: "Isn't this just a guess? Look, when I came to Beijing, Daddy also gave me a large sum of money and told me to spend it myself!"

Daiyu tried to fool her, but Nanny Gu was not as easy to fool as Nanny Wang. She had lived in the palace for nearly thirty years and had a very sharp eye. How could she let Daiyu off so easily?

She had a stern face and a serious tone: "Do you want to explain yourself, or should I ask Lingji?"

Daiyu shrank her neck and confessed honestly: "I asked Lingji to send someone to find out what they brought with them when they went to the capital."

Gu Mama immediately made a careful deduction and made a bold assumption: "So you were the ones who did what Xue Hanzi did?"

She had seen too many Jinyiwei and had already made some guesses about Lin Ji and those maids.

Except for Qingwen, who is weak and fragile, the other maids in Daiyu's yard are all very capable, and even Daiyu is a bit tough.

It was thanks to Madam Gu's careful observation that she was able to detect that something was wrong with them. Even Madam Liao, who had lived with them for so long, was fooled.
