Xiaoxiang Water Cloud in the Red Chamber

Chapter 97 The Embarrassing Truth

After Baoyu heard Daiyu's words, he hurried home. At that time, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing were all talking at Jiamu's place. They had just returned Daiyu's money for a few days. Sad and sad.Sister Feng struggled to get over now that the fetus was stable. Seeing Mother Jia's displeasure, she sighed in her heart, but she stopped making jokes to make Mother Jia happy: I knew why I had to do it today.

Jia Mu talked for a while and said, "Why doesn't Xi girl come?"

Xiangyun smiled and said: "The fourth younger sister has gone to Changcui Nunnery again. Yun'er sees that she is about to become a Buddha now, and she opens her mouth to talk about Buddha and shuts her mouth to talk about Buddha."

Jiamu frowned, looked at Youshi and said, "You guys are too careless, just let her mess around. If you really have this idea that day, I'll see what you will do. You can't afford to lose this person!"

Youshi felt aggrieved, and thought that Xichun was originally the one you wanted to pick up. How could you ask me, but she didn't dare to argue, she stood up and smiled and said, "Go back to the old lady, she is my sister-in-law. As a sister-in-law, I don't dare to say it deeply. But Her children's family should be just playing for a while."

Jia Mu snorted and said, "Forget it, Yuanyang, go and find Xichun, and let her mess around even if it's a big festival. And Baoyu is nowhere to be seen."

Mrs. Wang sighed, and said depressedly: "He went out early in the morning, saying he was going to see some friends."

Mother Jia sighed, and complained: "Really, you don't care about your master if you don't come home for two or three days. You used to beat him so hard, but now you don't care. I'm tired too. You all go back, Feng girl." Stay with Zhu's daughter-in-law."

Mrs. Wang was so eager to leave Jiamu that she hurried away.

Seeing that his words offended Mother Jia, Xiangyun felt aggrieved and went back to Hengwu Courtyard angrily.Mrs. Wang went back to her room, kicked out all the girls and began to think about things.She heard that Tanchun is doing well in Zhongshun Prince's Mansion now, but what happened to Aunt Zhao last time made her feel that her identity as the aunt was threatened, and she couldn't help but become murderous.If Aunt Zhao died, she would be Tanchun's only support, and maybe Tanchun would be able to treat herself wholeheartedly. Thinking of this, she got up and took out a small porcelain bottle from the dark side of the bed to have a look, sneered, and said to herself She said: "Don't blame me for Zhao Bushi, who made you restless." She called Zhou Rui's family, and gave Zhou Rui's family a few quiet instructions to give the porcelain vase and 100 taels of silver to Zhou Rui's family.

Seeing Zhou Rui's family leave, Mrs. Wang leaned on the bed contentedly.

At this time, I heard Caixia say outside: "Madam, Baoyu is here."

Mrs. Wang was overjoyed, and got up to see that Baoyu had kicked and ran in. She hurriedly grabbed Baoyu and smiled lovingly: "Why is Baoyu running so fast, looking at the hot sweat." She picked up the handkerchief and wiped Baoyu's face carefully beads of sweat.

Baoyu took a step back, Mrs. Wang's hands froze, and seeing Baoyu's face flushed, she stared at herself in a daze, and said strangely, "What's wrong with Baoyu."

Baoyu stared blankly at Mrs. Wang's kind face, that was his mother, who was so kind and kind to her, would she really do something to sorry her sister, but why did her sister say that.Seeing Mrs. Wang's anxious expression, Baoyu finally endured the words that were about to rush out, and stammered, "No, nothing, I just miss my second and third sisters, and I want my wife to call a legal representative to pick them up."

Mrs. Wang chuckled, and said calmly, "What am I supposed to do? How can I bring them back today for the holidays? Let's wait for a few days to be free."

Baoyu lowered his head and said, "Second sister and third sister are married in such a hurry. When I returned home, I saw that second sister looked very bad. Why didn't my wife pick her up and let her be bullied? Why did the third sister let us go?" Look at her, she is so indifferent. People will change if they get married, and it will be the same if Sister Lin is married, Madam, you should think of a way to prevent Sister Lin from marrying the King of Beijing. "

Mrs. Wang's face sank: "Baoyu, you are becoming more and more ignorant. What nonsense are you talking about the water spilled by your married daughter? And mentioning that girl Lin, I originally planned to marry her to you, but she is now climbing high , you are still dreaming."

Baoyu shook his head and said, "No, sister Lin is not that kind of person. Someone must have forced her. Our family is her relatives, and we are the only ones who can make decisions about her affairs."

Mrs. Wang said angrily: "You unprogressive bastard, that girl Lin obviously looks down on you and you still say that, you really have no self-respect. I have been talking to these messy people all day long, the master said that I will test your book tonight, Why don't you hurry up and read a book."

Baoyu looked at Mrs. Wang's angry expression, and she was a little scared but finally summoned up her courage and said, "Madam, did you do something to Sister Lin?"

Mrs. Wang's eyes jumped, and she said angrily: "What can I do to her, gold slaves and silver servants will pay for her."

Baoyu was so frightened that she kept silent and hurriedly withdrew.Mrs. Wang stared angrily at the shaking curtain and wondered why Baoyu said such words out of thin air.

Baoyu walked towards the garden listlessly except Mrs. Wang's courtyard. When he was about to reach the Qinfang Gate, he heard someone calling under the tree: "Second Master Bao."

Baoyu hurriedly looked sideways, and saw a pretty girl standing under the apricot tree, but she was the jade bracelet of Mrs. Wang's house. Since Jin Chuan died, for some reason, jade bracelet has never talked to him. He wondered for a long time. Yu Chuan was overjoyed when he took the initiative to call him Bao Yu, stood still and said, "Why is sister here?"

There was coldness in Yuchuan's eyes, but he said with a smile on his face, "Didn't Second Master Bao just ask his wife what she did to Miss Lin? My wife didn't tell me, but I knew it."

"Really?" Baoyu said anxiously, "My dear sister, please tell me quickly. Sister Lin said today that my wife did something wrong to her. Is it true?"

Yu Chuan was a little disdainful, and smiled lightly: "I can tell you, but you can't tell others that I did it, otherwise I will die worse than my sister!"

Baoyu looked at Yuchuan in a dazed way and nodded, then said, "Didn't your sister fall into the well for fun?"

Yu Chuan sneered and said, "Would you fall into the well in the clear sky? It's not because the virtuous people around you and your mother do good things, but they will spoil others behind your back. My sister saw you cheating with the attacker. Your virtuous The girl who attacked the villain first sued my sister and turned my sister into a vixen who seduces you. Your mother kicked my sister out without asking any questions. How can my sister have the face to face others. Hmph, treasure Second Master feels at ease, and doesn't even feel ashamed."

Baoyu took a step back in disbelief and said, "No, it's impossible."

Yu Chuan curled her lips and smiled: "My sister said it herself, how is it impossible? You are used to Lian's second master, Uncle Zhen, being obscene and despicable, I don't believe it. You don't know how big a blow this incident is to a girl. What's so strange. Now even the people in your yard know that Xiren is not a good person. They are only afraid that the wife behind her will not dare to confront her. When you went crazy a few months ago, she framed Qingwen herself again. Fortunately, the old lady is here, otherwise you won't even be able to see Qingwen when you wake up. Speaking of which, I have to beg the second master to show mercy, don't get tired of us after seeing you, we don't want to be killed by your mother as a fox Woolen cloth."

Seeing Baoyu's increasingly frenzied eyes, Yuchuan pursed his lips and chuckled, and continued to say nonchalantly, "Forget it, I won't tell you this anymore, didn't you ask Miss Lin, I told you whether you believe it or not. Over the years, your mother has plotted against Miss Lin many times. The whole family except you and the servants from the second door know that your compassionate mother doesn't want to see her. It's a pity that no matter how smart your mother is, she is not as smart as Miss Lin, and she is frustrated every time. Hmph, she has long believed that Miss Lin is a vixen, seeing where you go to Miss Lin every day makes her even more convinced that she seduces you, who doesn't know that Miss Lin doesn't want to see you, but you are obsessed with Miss Lin, madam But he thought it was someone else's fault. Second Master Bao, you are such a good person like no other in the world! All the faults belong to others! In the end, my wife couldn't take care of you, and she herself was thinking about Miss Lin's money, so she tried to find a way to save you. Putting poison into Miss Lin’s tonic, hehe, I saw this with my own eyes. I think Miss Lin has figured it out after listening to your questioning today. A good person like her will definitely not be killed by your mother. Pian Bao Er The master still said every day that he wanted to be with Miss Lin, but I asked you if you could protect her, even if you could protect her, why would you marry your enemy's son."

Yu Chuan suddenly smiled and said: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, the old lady knows about these things, madam."

"Ah!" Baoyu yelled, backing away and saying, "No, I don't believe it, I don't believe it, you are talking nonsense..." Then he turned and ran away.Yuchuan looked coldly at Baoyu's crazy figure, chuckled, looked up at the light blue sky and said, "Sister, I will finally avenge you, so you will be satisfied with the result."

Xiren in Yihong Courtyard was embroidering Baoyu's apron on the bluestone in the yard, when suddenly the needle tilted and stabbed in his hand, immediately the dark red blood dripped down and seeped into the apron, Xiren was stunned, feeling inexplicably flustered .Suddenly the courtyard door slammed, Baoyu kicked open the door and ran in, Xiren hurriedly got up and smiled and said, "Second Master is back." Then he felt something was wrong, seeing Baoyu's eyes were scattered, his face was blue and yellow, and his forehead was full of hot sweat, he hurriedly took a handkerchief The son wiped it for Baoyu, and said with a tear in his voice, "Second Master, what's wrong with you!"

Before Xiren's voice fell, Baoyu caught her and Baoyu held her hand tightly and said, "Xiren, tell me, how did Jin Chuan die?"

The attacker was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Didn't you accidentally fall into the well and die?"

Seeing that Xiren turned pale, Baoyu finally realized that he had been wrong all along, it was ridiculously wrong!Baoyu is the reincarnation of Shenying, and he already has some aura. He doesn't understand many things, but he doesn't want to understand them. Besides, no one dares to say what he doesn't like. Today, Yuchuan took a blow, leaving him nowhere to escape. .He thought blankly, so it is true that his mother poisoned sister Lin.He slowly let go of Xiren's hand, backed up little by little, backed up.He is not a fool, and now he suddenly realizes that what he saw before was all the appearance through the veil, why is this so!

Xiren was startled by Baoyu's dead eyes and didn't know what to do. He had never seen Baoyu like this, even if he was making a fuss, but his eyes were so dull and expressionless.

Mother Jia had just sent Sister Feng and Li Wan away. The family accounts made her feel helpless and sad, but she had no choice but to want Sister Feng to regain power, but Sister Feng was determined not to let go. , Mother Jia can't be strong.Just when she was depressed, she heard Baoyu making a fuss again. Mother Jia was so anxious that she almost fell down, and let Yuanyang run to Yihong Courtyard without touching the ground, but she saw Baoyu just sitting there, with a cold and lonely look, as if her heart was ashamed. , It was obviously different from the last time I heard about Daiyu's engagement. Mother Jia put her arms around Baoyu anxiously and said, "Baoyu Baoyu, tell the old ancestor what's wrong. I'm in charge of anything."

Mrs. Wang also shouted anxiously beside her.

After a while, Baoyu broke free from Jia Mu's arms and looked up at Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu. He sneered twice, which made everyone in the room jump with fear.Hearing Baoyu's voice said indifferently: "I can't die, I just understand some things. It happens that the old lady and wife are here, and Baoyu happens to have something to ask you."

Jia Mu's heart trembled, and Baoyu's cold gaze made her very uneasy.Mrs. Wang was overjoyed, as long as her son didn't go crazy again, she smiled and said: "Your child scared my mother to death, if you have anything to say, even the star mother in the sky will find a way to get you down."

Baoyu laughed mockingly, and said lightly: "Really. Baoyu is nothing serious, but I just think that the big girls in my yard are all grown up, and I will give them a grace to let them go out to match each other during today's festival. When you grow up, you don’t need to make up for it anymore.”

All the people in the room were stunned. Is this Baoyu from their family? How can he say such amazing words? I have always seen him begging for people in the house, but I have never seen him throwing people away a few times.

Although Mrs. Wang was happy, she still worried: "Baoyu, is what you said true?"

Baoyu said coldly: "Of course it is true. Mother is afraid that they will seduce me badly every day. I might as well drive them out first."

Mrs. Wang frowned, she said with a puzzled smile, "That's fine, none of us will delay their lives, why don't we let them out except Xiren Muskyue."

Baoyu laughed sarcastically: "The Xiren Musk Moon is the biggest here, how can I keep it?"

Sheyue Qingwen and others were a little flustered but didn't react much, but Xiren was so frightened that her face was as white as a sheet of paper. She had already had an affair with Baoyu, how could she marry when she went out? The second master hasn't made any big mistakes in these years, please don't drive me away, old lady."

Mrs. Wang frowned, this attacker was too reckless, before anyone else could speak, she pleaded for mercy first.

Jia Mu looked at Baoyu uncertainly and said, "Baoyu, what's the matter with you today."

Baoyu looked at Jiamu's anxious and loving eyes, and his heart was like a knife. Suddenly, his heart felt hot, and he spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell back.

Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang rushed forward to help her, and saw that Baoyu's face was like gold paper, and she had passed out.

Grandmother Jia called for a doctor, and soon the Imperial Physician Wang from the imperial hospital came. After taking the pulse, the imperial physician was a little puzzled. Seeing the anxious expression on Mother Jia's face, he had to say truthfully: "Old lady, Brother Shi is just in a hurry, that's all. It's all right. It's just..."

"Just what? Wang Gongfeng, we are old acquaintances, just tell the truth." Seeing the hesitant look of Imperial Physician Wang, Jia's mother raised her heart in her throat, and Mrs. Wang behind the screen also felt her heart.

"Well, what do you call a student? Mr. Ling must have already had a sexual affair. It's okay, but I found out that he seemed to have been planted with a poison that kills children a long time ago. People who have been poisoned by this poison will die within ten years." You can't have intercourse, but Young Master Ling has done it more than once, and this poison is not a fatal thing, it has been lurking in the past and has not been diagnosed, but this time it was stimulated."

Jia Mu felt that she could hardly sit still, she collected herself and asked, "Is there a cure for this poison?"

Imperial Physician Wang shook his head and said: "Student, I am ashamed. This poison was originally made by a woman a hundred years ago to avenge her heartless lover who wanted an heir. , so she doesn’t seem to have an antidote, the student still heard about it from Dr. Sun by chance, and he seems to have studied what he said.”

After sending the imperial physician away, Mrs. Wang had been by Baoyu's side crying and fainted a few times, saying: "Old lady, you must find a way to save Baoyu. Don't you know the imperial physician, you go and beg her."

Mother Jia stared blankly at Baoyu and suddenly laughed and said, "Why do you think of Yu'er again? Haven't you suffered enough? She already knows that you poisoned Min'er, and she has long since denied us. Retribution, retribution." Ah. Ma'am, you thought of asking them one day. Back then, you always wanted to let Min'er die, but now you are doing it yourself!"

Mrs. Wang was horrified. Seeing Mother Jia's bewildered smile, she felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said in a trembling voice: "Old lady, there is no retribution, this poison is obviously poisoned by someone with a heart. Old lady, please be sober, you only asked for that." Lin Daiyu said, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law is willing to let Lin Daiyu dispose of her, she hates me so much, you and Baoyu treat her like pearls and treasures."

Mother Jia's heart was moved by Mrs. Wang's words, so she looked at Mrs. Wang suspiciously, "For Baoyu, can you really do this?"

Mrs. Wang gave a wry smile, with resentment, sadness and fear intertwined on her expression, she said, "Old lady, I am also a mother."

Jia's mother laughed loudly, still a little mad, and said: "Well, you are indeed from my Jia family, don't worry, I will definitely find Yu'er, and you will definitely enter my Jia family's ancestral grave after you die. "

Mrs. Wang's heart was ashamed, she said it was the same thing, but she was still afraid of sacrificing herself, and Jiamu's behavior was not appropriate no matter how she looked at it, could she ask Daiyu to move her?Turning to look at Baoyu, what would he look like if he woke up and knew that he couldn't have children, hehe, he definitely didn't care, he was so naive, but how could he not care.But if I want to bow my head to Lin Daiyu by myself, I am really unwilling!

Mrs. Wang saw that Mother Jia was about to get up, and hurriedly said: "Old lady, wait a moment. If my daughter-in-law can't figure out something, she won't rest in peace."

Jiamu narrowed her eyes and said calmly, "What's the matter?"

Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and said, "Daughter-in-law must find out who the poisoner is. Our food and drink have all been poisoned. How could we be poisoned for no reason. We also need to find out whether it is Baoyu who was seduced by the fox."

Mother Jia sighed: "I'm afraid it will take a long time to find out. The cook has changed a few batches over the years. Where can I find out?"

Mrs. Wang said viciously: "In short, I can't escape the girls of Yihong Courtyard."

Jiamu nodded and said, "That's all, I'll let you go." As she spoke, all the maids in Yihongyuan gathered in Jiamu's room.Mrs. Wang looked at the crowd of crows and crows underground who were really colorful, and she couldn't help being depressed, she didn't realize that there were so many goblins in Baoyu's room.He ordered an old woman to check on these girls one by one, and it turned out that only Xiren was broken. Mrs. Wang couldn't help but her eyes turned red, and she laughed loudly: "Okay, I am really blind, I will hand over Baoyu to you." You didn't expect that you ruined him, attacking people, saying, why would you poison Baoyu?"

Xiren was so frightened that he was scared out of his wits, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your servant is wronged."

Mrs. Wang said coldly: "The poison in Baoyu will be cured as long as you don't touch women for ten years, but your body was broken shortly after Baoyu was poisoned a few years ago. Do you think it's such a coincidence? And all the things about Baoyu You take care of it all, you think there is no one else but you!"

Xiren was out of his wits and just kowtowed to beg. Seeing Mrs. Wang's cold face of disbelief, Xiren had a flash of inspiration and said: "Ma'am, the servant and the second master have no enmity. How can they have bad intentions only for the second master? What does that do to me?" Benefits? These servants have been working hard all these years, and there is only one time when Baoyu's affairs were taken care of by others."

Mrs. Wang said coldly, "Talk about it."

Xiren cried: "My wife still remembers that the second master, me, and Miss Bao all had lumps, and Xiren was raised at home for a month. Later, I heard that Baoyu was in charge of Qingwen's daily life at that time."

Qingwen smiled and said: "Sister Xiren, how dare you say that you haven't made a mistake for so many years, but I made a mistake in a month, who is fooled, no matter how stupid my wife is, I won't believe your words .”

Mrs. Wang said irritably: "Shut up, you don't have any good things anyway. Since Baoyu doesn't want you anymore, you all get out of here. Zhou Rui's family, this attacker seduces the master to kill Baoyu's son, you know What should I do. The rest of these big girls will be sold to me."

Immediately there was a sound of sobbing in the ground, but everyone knew that the matter was serious and did not dare to argue, but Xiren's face was taken away by Zhou Rui's family like a blank sheet of paper.Zhou Rui's family knew that Mrs. Wang hated this girl who had fooled him for several years, so they sold Xiren directly into a brothel.When her elder brother found out, he went to redeem her, but he only offered 1000 taels, but Xiren's elder brother couldn't get it out, and his daughter-in-law was complaining beside him, so he had to let it go.That Xiren had made up his mind to die, but she knew that Baoyu was also a prostitute, and she still had some illusions about Baoyu, but it was a pity that Baoyu had never been there since then, and Xiren didn't have the courage to die, so she couldn't compare Qing Guan had no choice but to live a life of humiliation, and spent the rest of his life in the brothel.

And Qingwen and others were also sold, and they all drifted apart.Na Qingwen was born well and was soon bought by a wealthy businessman to be his concubine.The rich businessman was so happy that he won Qingwen, and he was about to have a bridal chamber with Qingwen that night, but before he could do anything, Qingwen was stunned.Going out to argue about the direction of going to Qingyun Lane in the west of the city, it was already dawning in the east when they came to the innermost small door, but it was the owner of the house who knocked on Qingwen's door and opened the door. what.Seeing Qingwen knelt down and said: "It has been seven years, and I, Yu Qingwen, have kept my promise to repay my kindness."
