That day, Jia Baoyu returned home in failure and did not get what he wanted. At night, he tossed and turned in bed and could not fall asleep. All he could think about was Lin Daiyu.

He felt that this was not a good idea. He heard from Shen Li that they were about to set off. If he could not convince Lin Daiyu in the next few days, he would never have another chance.

Once he goes to Qianxiang Country, he doesn't know when he will be able to come back. Even if he can come back, it will take many years. By then, Lin Daiyu will definitely be married and have children, and she will not be able to tolerate him anymore.

After much thought, Jia Baoyu made up his mind to abduct Lin Daiyu to Qianxiang Country.

But this matter can only be told to the emperor by Lin Daiyu, otherwise the emperor will definitely not agree. Thinking of this, Jia Baoyu couldn't help feeling very sad.

In the past, he disdained fame, wealth and power, thinking that they were external things. But when the time came when they were really needed, he only regretted that he did not have the power and status like King Linhuai.

The next day, he put on his clothes and went to Lin's house, ignoring Zhao Yurou's attempts to keep him.

The gatekeeper obviously recognized him. He watched him coming over here from a distance. The boy looked at each other, wondering what he was doing here today.

Even if he is a relative, I have never seen him come every day. This early in the morning, the birds are not awake yet, and I don’t know if the owners inside have eaten or not, but he comes again.

It really makes me wonder what to say.

The boys received orders from inside and respectfully invited Jia Baoyu in. No matter what they thought in their hearts, they remained polite on the surface.

After entering the house, Jia Baoyu wanted to pay his respects to Jia Min first, but then he thought, if he went to Jia Min first and then wanted to go to find Lin Daiyu, he would have to rack his brains to think of a good excuse, which would be a bit troublesome.

It would be better to go now.

Jia Baoyu was used to being free at home, and Jia Min always treated him with kindness and love. He subconsciously felt that no matter what he did, Jia Min would be like her mother, and would definitely not blame him.

Thinking of this, Jia Baoyu walked towards Lin Daiyu's yard.

He was thinking about Lin Daiyu so much that he walked faster than usual. In just a moment, he arrived outside Lin Daiyu's courtyard.

Jia Baoyu had been thinking that it was still early and if he went in now he might be able to catch a glimpse of Lin Daiyu's beautiful face without makeup. He was just feeling itchy when he heard voices that seemed to be talking inside.

Whose voice?

Although eavesdropping is not what a gentleman does, if it were Lin Daiyu, she would definitely not blame him.

Thinking of this, Jia Baoyu felt at ease putting his ear against the door, clinging to it like a gecko, listening carefully to the movements inside.

But he listened for a while, but couldn't hear clearly what was being said.

Jia Baoyu lost his patience. Given his relationship with Lin Daiyu, why should he be so formal? Wouldn't it be better to just go in directly?

He pushed the door but it wouldn't open. He got anxious and shouted, "Sister Lin, open the door. Sister Lin, I'm your second brother."

In the courtyard, Lin Daiyu was practicing martial arts. When she heard the shouting outside the door, she frowned and asked, "Who's outside?"

The voice outside the door was obviously not from the Lin family.

But who would come this early in the morning?

And he was shouting outside the door so rudely.

Several maids also heard it and immediately walked over and asked, "Who's outside?"

Jia Baoyu was delighted when he heard the response from inside, and he raised his voice and said, "It's me, the second son of the Jia family. I'm here to see Sister Lin. Please open the door for me, sisters."

The second son of the Jia family?

The maids looked at each other and saw the helplessness and impatience in each other's eyes.

"Master Bao, why are you here so early?"

Jia Baoyu pushed at the door and said, "I have something important to discuss with Sister Lin. Please open the door for me first."

It was really inappropriate for him to shout outside the door like this. Although Lin Daiyu was a little impatient with him, she also wanted to know what he wanted to say to her.

"Let him in."

But before the courtyard gate could be fully opened, Jia Baoyu squeezed in like a loach, making several maids really want to throw him out.

Jia Baoyu ran to Lin Daiyu's side, and when he saw the cold sword in her hand, his heart trembled, and he asked, "Sister Lin, what is this doing?"

doing what?

Lin Daiyu raised her sword and looked at him like a fool, "Of course it's sword practice."

You can't use a sword to chop melons and vegetables. What Jia Baoyu said is too stupid.

Jia Baoyu realized belatedly that he had said something stupid, and he smiled innocently and said, "A person like Sister Lin should write poems and drink tea every day, why bother practicing these useless things?"

"Just tell me whatever you want to say, cousin." Lin Daiyu frowned and didn't want to say anything more, obviously unwilling to discuss these things with him.

Although her tone was indifferent, Jia Baoyu was not annoyed, and said attentively: "Sister Lin, you must be tired. Why don't we have dinner first and talk while we eat?"

After saying this, he turned his head and looked at the maids, signaling them to quickly go and have someone serve the meal.

The maids looked up and down, pretending not to see or understand.

Jia Baoyu was very upset. If those maids dared to treat him like this in his home, he would have been angry a long time ago.

But this was in the Lin Mansion, and these were Miss Lin's maids. Even if they were a little rude, he couldn't say anything.

But she couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied. Lin Daiyu was still too soft, so these maids didn't take their master seriously.

Jia Baoyu sighed and looked at Lin Daiyu with some disappointment. Now was not the time to talk about these things. It was more important to talk about business first.

He looked at the sword in Lin Daiyu's hand and suddenly had an idea.

"Sister Lin is skilled in martial arts, don't you want to travel around?" Jia Baoyu's eyes sparkled, with a hint of discomfort as if he was trying to deceive someone. "I heard that Qianxiang Country is a land of outstanding people, with beautiful mountains and rivers. Sister, you have the ability to protect yourself, so why don't you go with me and have some fun."

Lin Daiyu wanted to laugh and wanted to ask Jia Baoyu if he knew that when he was lying, the words "I am lying" were written on his face.

"Thank you for your kindness, cousin. Your parents are not far away. You can go and have fun by yourself." Since Jia Baoyu was always fooling people, Lin Daiyu didn't need to take him seriously. "Cousin, this time you go to Qianxiang Country, it's a good opportunity to experience the local customs and culture of Qianxiang Country. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

Jia Baoyu didn't want to kill two birds with one stone, so he wanted Lin Daiyu to accompany him, but when he heard that she was unwilling to go, he became very anxious and scratched his head, trying to find another good excuse.

You have to trick people there first. Once you get to Qianxiang Country, you won't be familiar with the place and it won't be easy to escape even if you want to.

Jia Baoyu knew that Shen Li had some affection for him, which was why he dared to talk nonsense in the Lin family.

With Shen Li's support, even if Lin Chengyu wanted to touch him, he would have to think twice.
