Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

When Tanchun left Daiyu's room, she was completely dazed, like a delicate little flower that had been ravaged by a storm.

The secretary walked forward with some worry, supporting her master: "Miss, is Miss Daiyu still angry with you? How about I go find Miss Xichun and ask her to plead for you?"

"No, no..." Tanchun shook her head weakly, "Leave me alone."

In the afternoon, Daiyu and Sanchun went to Jia Mu's Rongqing Hall as usual.

Grandmother Jia really loved Daiyu. She remembered that Daiyu "fell ill" because she missed home. She was silent for a long time, stroked Daiyu's cheek and said, "Ruhai once mentioned to me that after the autumn of the New Year, your mourning period will be over, and it's time to go back to take off your mourning clothes. But I really couldn't bear to leave you, so I scolded him in the letter, you child..."

When Daiyu heard Grandmother Jia mention returning to Yangzhou, she tried to suppress her joy and put on a sad face: "I also can't bear to leave my grandmother, and my sisters, sisters-in-law..."

"Forget it!" A trace of heartache flashed in Jia's mother's eyes. She hugged Daiyu and finally let go. "When the time comes, let your second brother Lian take you back!"

"Thank you, Grandma!" Daiyu squeezed out two tears after hearing this. The corners of her mouth kept twitching, and she almost laughed out loud.

Seeing this, Xichun quickly spoke up to liven up the atmosphere, "Sister Daiyu, will you come back?"

Daiyu leaned against Grandmother Jia's bosom, glancing at Xichun, and saw through her little thoughts at a glance. Daiyu nuzzled against Grandmother Jia's bosom and said coquettishly, "Grandmother, look, Xichun has set her sights on my yard!"

"Hahahaha!" Grandmother Jia laughed out loud, patting Daiyu on the back and saying, "Don't worry, I'll keep this yard for you!"

After a while of being intimate with the grandparents, Grandmother Jia suddenly remembered what the visitor from the East Palace had said that morning, and said to Daiyu, "The capital has been in turmoil lately, so you should not go out. If you want to go to the East Palace, go through the back street, so you won't be bumped into."

Daiyu thought of what happened last night and pretended to be ignorant of it and asked, "Why is it so uneasy outside?"

Although Jia's mother's eyes were a little cloudy, they sparkled brightly at the moment: "I heard that some treasure was lost in the Shenyu Pavilion. I don't know what those thieves wanted to steal."

She warned again: "Yu'er, don't go out before the New Year. If you want to pray for your mother, do it after the New Year. I think she will understand."

"Yes." Daiyu nodded slightly and leaned in Grandmother Jia's arms to hide her slightly frowned brows.

Sanchun and Daiyu came out of Jia's mother's room and ran into Baoyu. He walked towards the main room with a happy face. When he saw the four sisters, he said loudly: "Are you going back now, sisters? When are you going to the East Palace to play, don't forget to take me with you!"

Daiyu was about to rebuke Baoyu, saying that it was no use for a man like him to always follow the girls, but Xichun agreed first and said, "Okay! When we set a date, I'll let the maid tell my second brother."

Yingchun was only thinking about her screen and had no mood to chat with them. She said hurriedly, "I'm going back to my room," and quickly returned to her room.

This time Daiyu's mouth caught up with her brain. She immediately chased after Yingchun and said, "Sister Yingchun, wait for me!"

Seeing two of the sisters leave at once, Baoyu's smiling face fell: "Sister Lin always doesn't like to talk to me."

Tanchun knew about this problem. Daiyu had just analyzed the situation of the Jia Mansion for her at noon. She advised Baoyu: "Sister Daiyu doesn't like you always playing in the inner courtyard. You should study harder and focus more on your studies like elder brother Xianzhu."

When Baoyu heard this, his face became even uglier: "Since my sister wants to go back, I won't stop you." After saying that, he lifted the curtain and went into the room.

Tanchun was choked and turned back to Lixiang Courtyard thoughtfully. Xichun looked at Yingchun's room and finally decided to chase Tanchun.

In Yingchun's room, Daiyu drove Qinghe, Luluo and Siqi to the door to guard, and then urged Yingchun: "Hurry up and take out the things so that I can see, how much have you embroidered?"

Yingchun took out a roll of brocade from the innermost part of the bed and carefully unfolded it for Daiyu to see.

Indeed, only one corner was embroidered.

Daiyu rolled her eyes and said teasingly, "Ah! It's hidden so well, I'm sure it's scented by my sister's body every day. This screen is really a treasure, hahaha!"

"You little mischievous ghost!" Yingchun took back the brocade, rolled it up and hid it back under the quilt.

She thought of something and asked Daiyu again, "I'd better go live in your courtyard. There are always people disturbing me in Jia's courtyard. I have to interrupt from time to time. How can I be as comfortable as living in your courtyard?"

"Of course! It's a great opportunity to let Qingwen do the embroidery with you, and you two can exchange ideas at any time!" In fact, Daiyu was even hoping to have someone sleep with her.

In the past, she rarely kept maids on duty at night, so it would be too strange if she suddenly asked a maid to sleep with her. Now that Yingchun took the initiative to make this request, she just went with the flow.

So Yingchun stayed in Jia's mother's courtyard for two days and then moved back to Lixiang Courtyard. To the outside world, they said: Daiyu was homesick and needed her sisters to accompany her.

Not many of the servants in the mansion said that Daiyu was being hypocritical. Instead, some began to talk about the Xue family: How come they have lived here for so long and still haven't cleared out the Xue family's house? Didn't you see that Miss Lin would come back to the Lin mansion from time to time to stay for a while?

Ying'er repeated these words to Xue Baochai, and her fever almost broke out again, but she had to pretend nothing had happened.

At this critical juncture, another piece of bad news came back.

Xue Pan took a few servants given by Jia Zheng to visit a brothel and had a conflict with people from the Five Cities Military Department. If it were not for the face of the Rongguo Mansion, his fate would probably have been the same as Leng Zixing's and he would have been deported back to his hometown.

Even so, the fact that the people from the Five Cities Military Division personally escorted Xue Pan back to the Jia Mansion was a huge loss of face for Jia Zheng, who always valued his reputation.

When Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai arrived at the front yard, they saw Xue Pan collapsed on the ground. Aunt Xue walked forward distressed and wanted to help Xue Pan up, but she heard Jia Zheng shouting: "How did I ask you to persuade Master Xue!"

When Aunt Xue heard this, she loosened her grip, and Xue Pan shrank unconsciously and glanced at Jia Zheng timidly.

Jia Zheng was so angry that his eyes were wide open and he pointed at the servants and scolded them, "What did I tell you in the past? Since our ancestors, our Jia family has always been lenient to our servants. I have been lazy in housework over the years, and my wife has always been kind, so you have become so indulgent that you don't even know who is the master!"

He looked around and shouted at Lai, "Shut their mouths and beat them!"
