Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 424: Capturing Madam Wang

The Jia family is in chaos now.

"What does she, a woman in the inner house, know? How could this happen?"

……

It was said that Mrs. Wang had been taken away. When everyone saw Lin Daiyu coming, they all started talking as if they had grasped a life-saving straw.

Especially seeing that she took the jade back, it proved that she was fully capable of touching it.

A group of women surrounded her and cried.

Before they started arresting women, they were calm, but now they are arresting women too.

Who isn't nervous?

When will it end?

Lin Daiyu saw the empty hall, broken tables and chairs, and a group of women who were in a state of panic.

She frowned slightly and asked,

"Grandma, you didn't say which government office arrested him?"

"He was just captured like that."

"Isn't this guard also capable?"

"Could it still be Jia Yucun?"

Only then did Grandmother Jia hold back her grief and shook her head, saying, "This time it's not Jia Yucun, it should be the Imperial Guards."

“No one expected this.”

"I heard that the Imperial Guards came to see her. She thought it was Wang Ziteng who had news."

"I hurried to see it."

"Who knew they were going to take people away?"

"She was also a little flustered, so she started to curse."

"But those people are not compassionate."

“So I took it away.”

At this time Lin Daiyu asked again,

"Grandmother, the Imperial Guards are here to take people away. Aren't there any official documents?"

"What did you say? What crime?"

This question made Jia's mother hesitate for a moment. She shouted,

"Call Zhou Ruijia over. We were not here at the time."

"Zhou Ruijia should have seen it."

Lin Daiyu thought to herself, this is too chaotic. Maybe the Prince of Nannan hasn't controlled everyone yet.

How can such a mess be managed?

In such a chaotic situation, the Jia family should guard their gates well and not allow just anyone to bring in people.

This is too childish.

Thinking of this, she said to Grandmother Jia, "Grandma, I think you should organize all the existing people."

"Guard them first, don't let anyone in."

"The men guard the outer courtyard, and the women guard the inner courtyard."

When Grandmother Jia heard this, she felt a little sad.

No words were spoken.

I don’t know if he listened to it.

It was Mrs. Xing who spoke.

"Mother, I think my niece is right. I will take charge of this inner courtyard with my men!"

"I'll take two people with me, Miss Feng and Grandma Zhu."

"We can't let anyone come to bring people here anymore."

Even Mrs. Wang has been taken away, so there is no need for everyone to be reserved. Who knows who will be the next?

Who could be tougher than Mrs. Wang?

Wang Xifeng and Li Wan had no objections either.

Who is in the outer courtyard?

The only male descendants left are Jia Baoyu, Jia Lan, and Jia Huan.

The others are illegitimate branches, such as Jia Qin and so on.

At this time, Jia Baoyu, who had been daydreaming, also spoke.

"I'll go, and I'll ask Rong to come along."

"Only he and Jia Qiang are left in Ning Mansion."

"There is no need to distinguish between Ning Mansion and Rong Mansion now."

Although he is like a piece of stone now, Lin Daiyu can get the jade back, even though it is fake.

It is impossible that he didn't have any fluctuations in his heart.

The methods proposed by Lin Daiyu are always feasible.

Jia Baoyu firmly believed in this.

……

"Old lady!" Zhou Ruijia was crying and snotting.

She was the one who brought in the Imperial Guards.

How could she have thought that he was not here to help.

It's actually...

"Tell me, what did the Imperial Guards say? What crime?"

"Stop crying. What's the use of crying?" Grandmother Jia glared at Zhou Ruijia.

These are the people who are always thinking they are smart.

Zhou Ruijia wiped the snot and tears from her face.

"Ma'am, they said they wanted the young lady to confess or something?"

"Miss? Which eldest lady?"

At this moment, they suddenly remembered that the eldest lady in the mansion was Yuanchun.

Is she still alive?

What are you confessing?

God! If she confessed anything, her family would be confiscated and her entire clan would be exterminated.

It must be harmful?

Grandmother Jia's voice also began to tremble.

"Tell me carefully."

Zhou Ruijia then spoke intermittently,

"After hearing that they were going to take the Second Madam away, she refused to agree."

"I'd rather die than follow you."

"He also cursed the imperial guards."

"Who would have thought that the Imperial Guards would ask the Second Madam to persuade the Young Miss to plead guilty."

"The Second Madam softened then."

"Follow him."

Oh my God, this is really unbearable. I didn’t expect that after so long, Yuanchun, why hasn’t she hanged herself yet?

Isn't this bringing disaster to the family?

Zhou Rui's wife felt even more uneasy. The Lai family members had already been redeemed, but Mrs. Wang held on to her own indenture and refused to let them redeem her.

Now that she was convicted, she would definitely be sold by the government, and she didn't know to whom.

I’m so old, is it possible that I still don’t know that I’m a family with Zhou Rui?

Thinking of this, she sobbed.

Grandmother Jia angrily shouted, "Shut up, your master is not dead yet?"

"why are you crying?"

"Instead of crying, go to the Wang family and tell Madam Wang Ziteng."

Zhou Ruijia kowtowed repeatedly on the ground.

"Old lady, please save the Second Madam!"

"Didn't you say that she was just trying to persuade people?"

"I think if I persuade someone, I should be able to come back, right?"

Even Lady Jia herself found it hard to believe what she said. She was comforting herself and others.

Unless Mrs. Wang has something to do with this matter, but how could she, a woman in the inner house, be related?

I can only go to the palace a few times a year.

Not only her, but everyone else in the hall also fell into deep thought.

Now it’s beyond their understanding!

Now there is no scent of sandalwood in the hall, only the old smell emitted by the tables and chairs, which makes people feel uneasy.

……

At this moment,

Suddenly someone came in to report the news.

"Madam, someone from the Shi family is here."

Grandmother Jia was surprised. Some time ago, no one from the Shi family came to attend the funeral of Master Jing, so why did they come now?

Did something happen to the historian?

"Who is it?" she asked in surprise.

The old woman who reported it swallowed her saliva and spoke in a strange tone.

"Ma'am, you'll know when you see it."

"Then please come in!" Grandmother Jia frowned and ordered.

……

Unexpectedly, the old woman brought in two people dressed in dark brown clothes and hats, dressed as servants.

How is this… ?

Just as Grandmother Jia was about to ask a question, two servants knelt down on the ground.

"Ancestor, please save me!"

When Jia's mother heard the voice, her heart trembled.

"You are, Yun girl?"

"Why are you dressed like this?"

"What kind of situation is this?"

Everyone then looked carefully and saw two people kneeling on the ground, they were Shi Xiangyun and Cui Lu.

At this time, Shi Xiangyun was crying and saying,

"My ancestor, the Shi family wants to sell me out!"

"Nonsense! The Shi family is a marquisate family. How could they sell their daughter?" Grandmother Jia was furious. This was throwing dirty water on her own family.

Even though I'm not on good terms with my mother's family now, I can't slander them like that, right?

"No, I didn't make it clear."

"After my aunt testified against the King of Nan'an, my family has been trembling with fear."

“I’m afraid we’ll be liquidated.”

"It just so happened that my uncle found someone who said he could help me, but he wanted me to marry his son."

"The key is that his son is about to die."

"Uncle agreed."

"I heard about it, so I ran out."

"Grandfather, please save me. I don't want to marry a dead man." Shi Xiangyun cried inconsolably.

"Absurd and evil!" Grandmother Jia pounded the bed in anger.
