Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 245: Jia Baoyu is in a dilemma at Qingfeng Teahouse

At this time, a group of people came out of the teahouse, talking loudly as they walked.

"It's really hard to be a hero in this world!"

"How can there be so many heroes saving beauties?"

"Being a hero is always hurtful and sad!"

"That's not certain. It might become a good story! After all, the family that can raise an eagle is not an ordinary family."

"Just wait and see! There must be something else going on here. Otherwise, the storyteller would know so much either for fishing or to seek redress."

"For ordinary people like us, it's just a cup of tea for fun."

These discussions are just a wisp of smoke in this bustling world, dissipating with the wind.

But it struck Jia Baoyu's heart hard.

Oh no! How come everyone knows that Lin Daiyu's eagle hurt Xue Pan?

what should I do?

Jia Baoyu walked towards Qingfeng Teahouse in a daze, and Mingyan followed him in, confused.

……

In Rong Xi Tang, the smell of sandalwood is wafting.

Mrs. Wang was holding a cup of tea in her hand, drinking it with a smile as she listened to Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue chatting about the evil spirit in their family.

"Now that he has saved someone, he may be able to use this opportunity to change his character."

"I'll be at peace even if I die in my coffin if I marry the daughter of a good family." Aunt Xue sighed, with a trace of relief in her eyes.

"Sister, you don't know how many years I have been worried."

Xue Baochai, who was standing by, tried to comfort her softly, "Mother, it's been a few years since the incident in Jinling."

"The people back then have been dead for many years. As long as the person is not dug up again, even if my brother has a good reputation, he should thank my aunt anyway."

"Don't worry about that. We are real sisters." Aunt Xue patted Xue Baochai's hand to reassure her.

It's because of such a bastard brother that my daughter's development has been ruined.

Mrs. Wang also smiled and nodded. Now everything was going well.

The first wife has been useless since Jia She broke his leg.

If her sister rises again, Xue Baochai's role will be even more important.

If my daughter can get what she wants, I will really be grateful to the Buddha.

Thinking of this, she put down the teacup and picked up the Buddhist beads beside her again.

At this time, Xue Baochai said casually, "Mother, do you think there is really such a thing as resurrection from the dead?"

"It would be great if Feng Yuan from Jinling who died came back to life. That way, my brother wouldn't have to bear the blame."

Aunt Xue's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she hurriedly stopped him, "My son, don't mention that unlucky name casually."

Madam Wang raised her eyes slightly and said calmly,

"The dead are gone, and their ashes return to ashes, and their dust returns to dust."

"If they were devout in worshipping Buddha during their lifetime, perhaps they would receive good rewards in the next life."

"Baochai, you are still young, don't worry too much."

Baochai nodded gently.

"What my aunt taught me, Baochai has taken note of it."

"However, there are always people out there who like to spread rumors of resurrection from the dead. Today I heard someone say that Qingwen actually appeared on the street."

"Brother Bao even went to the street to look for that soul."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Wang's eyes gleamed, her face suddenly changed, the beads in her hand stopped turning, and her voice was as cold as ice.

"Baochai, where does this come from?"

Seeing that Mrs. Wang looked unhappy, Baochai quickly changed her words, "Aunt, these are just nonsense and cannot be believed."

"Brother Bao, we have a deep bond. Please don't let this matter hurt the harmony between mother and son."

Mrs. Wang unconsciously clenched her Buddhist beads, and the beads collided with each other, making a dull sound.

"Yes, how could he understand my painstaking efforts?"

"These nonsense are most likely to confuse people's minds."

Xue Baochai nodded repeatedly, "Aunt is right."

Aunt Xue saw that Mrs. Wang was not interested, so she stood up and said goodbye.

"Sister, it's getting late. I should go back too."

"When the New Year comes, if Pan'er gets better, we will go back to his mother's house together and let him kowtow to his brother."

Mrs. Wang nodded slightly.

As soon as Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue left,

Inside Rongxi Hall, the atmosphere was heavy and depressing. The wind outside the window gently blew the curtains.

Mrs. Wang lowered her head and thought for a moment. A cold light flashed before her eyes. She immediately called out,

"Jin Chuan'er, call Zhou Rui's family over to me."

Jin Chuan'er went out in response, and soon Zhou Rui's wife came in through the curtain.

"Madam, what are your orders?"

Mrs. Wang said to her meaningfully, "You, can I still trust you?"

When Zhou Ruijia heard this, her legs went weak and she fell to her knees. Mrs. Wang's words were so harsh that Zhou Ruijia felt her scalp go numb.

"Madam! I will be yours for the rest of my life! I dare not have any second thoughts."

Mrs. Wang clicked the beads in her hand, and there was a crisp sound.

"Take your men to Qingwen's cousin's house now and capture her cousin and his wife."

"Interrogate her. Where is her sister buried?"

"Which incarnation place did you go to?"

Ah! Why is it like this again? Isn't Qingwen's matter over?

Do you still want to rob graves?

Zhou Ruijia was confused, but she didn't dare to delay. She immediately took her men and rushed to Duohunchong's house.

……

"Miss! That's what they said. I went out to East Street today and many people heard it."

At the Lin Mansion, Qingwen hurried back to report to Lin Daiyu the news she heard on the street.

Since she was preparing to become the head shopkeeper, Qingwen thought about visiting every street in the capital.

But Lin Daiyu had other things to do today, so she didn't go with her.

Besides, you have to rely on yourself for things like this in the future and can’t rely on the lady for everything.

Lin Daiyu sat on a chair and laughed at Qingwen.

"Oh! This big fool Xue Pan has suddenly become much smarter. This is killing two birds with one stone!"

"You can lure the snake out of its hole and then turn things around."

"He wants to use public opinion to whitewash himself and make himself a hero."

"The person who gave him the advice is an expert!"

After sighing, Lin Daiyu said to Qingwen,

"Don't worry about this matter. Just focus on running your shop."

"Call Zijuan over here. She stole a velvet flower that day."

Qingwen's eyes were burning. "Miss, I don't want to stay out of this matter. Although running a shop is important, I may encounter such things again in the future."

"I want to solve this problem with you."

"I want to gain some experience, too."

Lin Daiyu looked at Qingwen in surprise, and she really looked at her with new eyes.

Due to the limitations of this era, women dared not even think of any resistance.

Maybe some of them will even blame themselves for always letting her go out and putting her in danger!

Qingwen is the first big surprise I have experienced since coming to this world!

"Okay, as long as you're not afraid."

"I'm not afraid. For someone who has died once, what else is there to be afraid of?" After saying this, Qingwen went out and called Zijuan in.

"Miss, I heard from Qingwen that you wanted the velvet flower from last time?" Zijuan asked with a frown, holding the velvet flower in her hand.

"What does the young lady want this thing for? This has been touched by the young lady, and no one can give it to her."

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "I see. You are afraid that I will return it to that fool Xue again."

"Don't worry, I have to thank you for having the foresight to leave the velvet flower."
