The Red Mansions

Chapter 176 Cover your ears and steal the bell, Lin Daiyu leaves
"What kind of sin have I done!"

Mother Jia looked at the dejected Jia She and others, and wailed.

Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng on the other side were also sobbing softly, their eyes were swollen from crying.

Jia Zheng sighed and said, "My lord said that even if Brother Lian and Baoyu can be exempted from the death penalty, they will be exiled for a few years. After the limelight passes, they will find a way to spend more money and bring them back."

Jia Amnesty answered, "This incident has become a big deal. At that time, so many people were watching, and they couldn't escape even if they wanted to."

"The man was indeed killed by Jia Lian and Baoyu, and they both pleaded guilty and charged, so there is no room for delay."

Mrs. Wang cried and said: "My child, woo woo, I'm just like this, what's wrong with Baoyu, how can I still live? woo woo woo..."

"Cry, cry, cry, you know how to cry. If you hadn't pampered Baoyu and cultivated him to be lawless, how could there be trouble today?" Jia Zheng complained annoyed.

Jia Mu frowned and said, "Don't make noise, as long as the Ministry of Criminal Justice hasn't reviewed it, there is still room for rescue. We will go to the palace early tomorrow morning to ask the old concubine to see if we can find a solution from her."

"In addition, you still have to continue to go to the King of Beijing County to ask him to be more considerate. The family of the deceased should also send someone to ask for forgiveness. Don't be afraid of spending money. As long as the person is fine, the money is worth it. "

Jia Zhen shook her head and said, "It's not easy for the family of the deceased. The other party is from a scholarly family. Although the family is poor, they are all from the Qingliu family. They hate us nobles the most."

Jia's mother scolded angrily: "If it's not easy to do, we have to do it! If something happens to Brother Lian and Baoyu, our Jia's mansion will really be abolished!"

"At this critical moment, don't worry too much. As long as there is a little bit of hope, we can't give up..."

The next day.

"Husband, why don't you go to the yamen today?" Xue Baochai asked doubtfully after waking up, looking at the sky outside the window.

Jia Yun pressed her chest, and replied: "I've been busy for so many days, I want to take a break today, and I will go to my ancestors to discuss about ancestor worship."

Xue Baochai nodded, and said: "The matter of worshiping the ancestors really cannot be delayed. The ancestors have asked people to come over several times. Every time the husband is not at home, if it is delayed, the clan will be disappointed."

At this time, Xiangling and Shuangqing who were nearby were about to get up to serve, Xue Baochai ordered:

"Don't be busy, let Ying'er, Yuan'er, and Lian'er come in and take care of you. You were tired last night, so you can rest for half a day!"

Soon, Ying'er and others came in and waited for Jia Yun and Xue Baochai to get up, change and wash.

The two of them were sitting in front of the dressing table, letting the maid comb their hair, when Xiren walked in and said loudly:
"Something has happened. Last night, Second Master Lian and Second Master Bao were arrested and taken to Shuntian Mansion. I heard that they killed someone by riding a horse. Maybe they will be beheaded!"

Xue Baochai asked in surprise, "Sister Xiren, who did you listen to?"

"I just heard what Aunt Miao said. It has been spread in the clan early in the morning. It should not be fake." Xiren replied.

Xue Baochai nodded and asked Jia Yun, "My lord, with the capabilities of the Jia family, can you rescue them?"

"It's hard to say, even if he can be rescued, the death penalty is probably inevitable, and the death penalty is inevitable, and the possibility of exile to the frontier is very high!" Jia Yun mused.

Xue Baochai couldn't believe it: "I didn't expect such a big thing to happen overnight..."

Xiren took the comb from Lian'er, combed Jia Yun's hair, and asked doubtfully, "I heard that Jia's mansion went to beg the King of Beijing County, so it's possible that Chengcheng can't smooth this matter over?"

"Heh, how can a human life lawsuit be settled so easily?" Jia Yun shook her head.

Xue Baochai pursed her lips and said, "That's true. If it's just an ordinary fight, it's really not a big deal for Jia's family, but if it involves human life, it can't be avoided with a few words."

While talking, Lin Daiyu came in with Zijuan and Xueyan.

"You all know the news too?" Lin Daiyu asked.

Xue Baochai nodded and said, "Understood, we were talking about this just now!"

Lin Daiyu glanced at Jia Yun, bit her lip, and said, "Such a big thing happened in Jia's house, I should go and have a look."

"Brother Yun, Sister Bao, after I went to Jia's mansion, I went back directly, and I will come over later when I have time."

Jia Yun frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and didn't keep her.

Lin Daiyu had a delicate mind. The time when Jia Wenlin came to see Jia Yun last night happened to coincide with the time when Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu had an accident. As smart as she was, she would naturally have doubts.

For Lin Daiyu, Jia Yun could trouble the Jia family, but she couldn't be so ruthless, especially if something happened to Jia Lian, the family of the Jia family would be wiped out, which she couldn't accept.

After all, no matter how bastard the Jia family is, it is true that they have been kind to her in nurturing her.

Therefore, regardless of whether what happened last night had anything to do with Jia Yun, Lin Daiyu wanted to go back and calm down.

At this moment, she didn't show any embarrassment to Jia Yun, she was already very calm.

Xue Baochai didn't understand, so she was surprised and said: "Didn't you agree yesterday that you will play here for ten days and a half a month? Even if you are going to Jia's mansion, you can come here again!"

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips, shook her head and said, "No, I suddenly want to go home, and I will come over to play sometime later."

As she spoke, she glanced at the silent Jia Yun, mist flickered in her eyes, sniffed her nose, bowed, then turned and walked out.

Xue Baochai frowned and said, "Husband, I'm going to see off my sister Lin."

"Well, let's go, she wants to go back, so don't try to persuade her too much." Jia Yun nodded.

Xue Baochai nodded, got up and chased him out.

Xiren whispered: "Master, what's wrong with Miss Lin, she looks a little strange!"

"It's definitely not right. What happened to Jia's mansion, is it possible that she can still laugh?" Jia Yun replied.

Xiren pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "That's right, although Master Lin almost broke up with Jia's family back then, Miss Lin grew up in Jia's house, and there is still a trace of love. If something happened to Jia's house, she would naturally be sad .”

Jia Yun smiled, patted her buttocks with her backhand, and said angrily, "Comb my hair quickly, you see how nimble Ying'er's hands and feet are, she combed it for Baochai in two or three strokes, and you are still here dawdling."

"Hee hee, the concubine was busy talking just now, master, don't rush, I'll comb it for you now." Xi Ren said with a smile.

Ningrong back street, on a small sedan chair.

Zijuan asked Lin Daiyu in a low voice, "Girl, why are you in such a hurry to go back?"

"I just want to go back, and it's not like I don't have a chance to come here in the future." Lin Daiyu said melancholy.

She was really reluctant to leave Jia Yun, especially when he left just now, Jia Yun didn't even look at her, which made her feel a little flustered.

Lin Daiyu thought: "He is so cruel, I just want to go back and calm down for a few days, why ignore me?"

She knew that Jia Yun could see that her mood was wrong, and the two of them had been together for many days, and they already had a tacit understanding.

So, the moment she turned to leave, she knew that Jia Yun had an opinion on her.

After thinking about it, she thought to herself: "If my suspicion is correct, Second Brother Lian and Brother Bao must have been tricked by Brother Yun!"

"He really is a decisive killer. If he doesn't make a move, it's enough. If he makes a move, he will kill people. Why do people in Jia's house provoke him?"

Lin Daiyu had also heard about the fact that the Jia family wanted to borrow money from the Xue family and Jia Yun.

Others don't know, but she knows it very well.

Since the conflict between Jia's mansion and Jia Yun last year, Jia Yun doesn't like to see people from Jia's mansion.

At the same time, she knows better that Jia Yun doesn't like trouble, and likes to plan for a rainy day to nip the crisis in the bud.

Whether it is forming a personal guard when leaving Beijing, or setting up a patrol camp after going to Zhejiang, there is this tendency.

Now that Jia's mansion doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth, they want to provoke Jia Yun. In order to avoid trouble, Jia Yun naturally wants to target Jia's mansion.

"That's what he said, if you can't solve the trouble, you have to solve the troublemaker?" Lin Daiyu thought to herself.

"Even though Second Brother Lian and Brother Bao are incompetent, they are not troublemakers either. Why did Brother Yun want to kill them both?"

After thinking for a while, Lin Daiyu suddenly said: "Yes, in the entire Jia family, Brother Bao is the heart of grandmother and second uncle and aunt, and Brother Lian is the first son of the big house."

"Taking these two people away is enough to hurt the Jia family. If they are really sentenced to beheaded, the energy of the Jia family will be gone..."

Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu shuddered and thought to herself, "Brother Yun is so ruthless! But...why can't I hate him?"

Zijuan at the side saw that Lin Daiyu was not keeping her house, and asked concerned: "Girl, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

After regaining her senses, Lin Daiyu shook her head and said, "I'm fine, let's not go to Jia's mansion, we will go back directly to the mansion and come back in the afternoon."

She suddenly realized that with Jia Yun's decisive temperament, if she left like this today, he might not come to find her for a long time.

Lin Daiyu panicked when she thought that Jia Yun was going to be indifferent to her.

But after all, she couldn't hold on to her face, so she bit the bullet and prepared to go home.

In this way, going to Jia Yun's house again is not considered unreasonable trouble, but because I really have something to go back.

"Am I lying to myself?" Lin Daiyu felt aggrieved.

As for Jia's mansion, she didn't want to go there anymore, and she couldn't save Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu if she went there, instead it would easily make Jia Yun uncomfortable.

"What an enemy, I'm accommodating you like this, if you don't treat me well, I'll have your fruit!" Lin Daiyu gritted her teeth, secretly angry.

Jia Yun's house.

While eating breakfast, Xue Baochai frowned and said, "Husband, sister Lin is in a bit of a mood today. When she left, she looked sullen. Could it be that she is really worried about the Jia family?"

"She has a delicate mind, how can others guess her thoughts?" Jia Yun shook her head and said.

Xue Baochai pondered for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Why does my family feel that Sister Lin seems to have a problem with her husband?"

Today, when Lin Daiyu came to the room, she suddenly said that she was going to leave. Xue Baochai felt something was wrong at that time.

Afterwards, she went to send Lin Daiyu off again. Although she didn't ask anything out of side-talking, Xue Baochai had an intuition that Lin Daiyu should have a problem with Jia Yun, so she wanted to leave.
