Turning the tide in the Red Chamber

Chapter 16 [016] Assassinate Lin Daiyu
Jia Zhen was so angry that her face turned blue and her eyes were red, but she was not easy to attack. Although he was the head of the Jia family in name, he could not cover the sky with one hand in the Jia family, and he was arbitrary.

There is also a big Buddha suppressed on top of him-the old lady of Rongfu, also known as Mrs. Shi, or Jiamu for short.

Jia's mother is the nominal supreme ruler of the Jia family. She is the mother of Jia She, Jia Zheng and Jia Min, Jia Baoyu's grandmother, and Lin Daiyu's maternal grandmother.

Jia Mu is not only the highest elder in the Ningrong Second Mansion, but also a first-rank imperial wife, someone who can talk directly to the old concubine, empress and even the emperor.

In addition, Jia Yuanchun, Jia Zheng's eldest daughter, was selected into the palace as a female historian, and Jia's mother's status was naturally even higher.

Therefore, Jia Zhen dare not act recklessly and recklessly.

Suppressing the resentment in her heart, Jia Zhen forced a stiff smile:
"I'm in good health, so I won't bother the second master."

After finishing speaking, Jia Zhen curled her lips, reluctantly dipped her pen in the ink, and signed the letter.

After putting down the brush, Jia Zhen let out a sigh of relief. This deed completely shattered his vain plot to enrich himself.

Jia Zhen almost gritted her back molars, her hands in her sleeves were trembling with anger, and she swore inwardly:
The boring loss I suffered today must not be let go, and when I have the opportunity in the future, I must redouble my revenge!
In his mind, if the conspiracy cannot succeed and the advantage cannot be taken, it is tantamount to suffering a loss.

As a shameless villain with no lower limit, his rules of conduct and logic of thinking are so outrageous.

Jia Zhen rolled her eyes, and suddenly she had a plan, she smiled at Jia Chen and said:
"Brother Chen helped our Ningrong Second Mansion increase our income. I am very grateful, and I don't know how to repay it. It just so happens that on the eighth day of next month, my son will hold a dark ceremony and marry a wife.

I would like to invite Brother Chen to come to our house to have fun together, but I wonder if Brother Chen would like to appreciate this face. "

He had a pleasant expression on his face, and he smiled so hard that his teeth could not be seen, but from the narrowed eyes, there was an imperceptible cold murderous look.

Although the murderous intent in his eyes was subtle, Jia Chen still had a panoramic view.

It seems that this shameless Jia Zhen wants to set up a grand banquet for herself!
Jia Chen sneered in his heart, Jia Zhen saw that the plot could not succeed, so she wanted to kill herself and embezzle her [-]% of the profits, she was really decisive and merciless!

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountain, I prefer to walk on the mountain. Now that I have practiced the Wudang Seven Star Sword, I dare not say that I can defeat a hundred with one, but it is still possible to retreat with one against ten.

Although the milk tiger is young, it can already eat cows!
Since Jia Zhen wants to smooth out the tiger's beard, she will use her tricks and let him know how powerful she is!

The plan has been decided, Jia Chen smiled kindly and said:

"Brother Zhen invited you kindly, how can I live up to your kindness? It's just that this time, Brother Zhen invested in engraving and selling the "Disciple Regulations", and it will definitely make a lot of money. At the time of the ceremony, there is no need to prepare a small gift."

Jia Zhen suppressed the murderous look in her eyes, and said with a smirk:

"Brother Chen wrote the famous book "Disciple Regulations", which helped increase the income of our Ningguo Mansion. How can I let Brother Chen spend more money? Brother Chen is willing to come to the dog's dark ceremony, and our mansion is already prosperous. Fai, it's an honor."

Jia Chen sneered in his heart, this Jia Zhen really has a human face and a beast's heart, she understands all the major principles, and speaks thoughtfully and decently, but she just doesn't care about human affairs, and her heart is like a snake and a scorpion.

"You are unkind, then don't blame me for being unrighteous. Since you have murderous intentions towards me, I will take your life sooner or later to avoid future troubles!" Jia Chen secretly made up his mind, but his face remained calm and he smiled warmly.

After exchanging a few false greetings, Jia Dairu said that there were many affairs in the school, so he got up to leave, and Jia Chen also left.

When he got out of Rongxi Hall, Jia Chen asked Jia Dairu to take a step ahead, and walked through a corridor covered by vines, and went to the nearest hut to relieve his hands.

After opening the gate and releasing the water, Jia Chen went to wash his hands beside a rockery waterfall outside the hut, but heard two women whispering faintly behind the rockery:

"Miss Lin is only eleven years old, it's a pity for Jian'er, a girl, how can you do it?"

"This is what the master ordered, how dare I disobey it?"

"I didn't expect that the master, who is usually kind and kind, turned out to be this kind of person."

"Hey! I really know people and faces but don't know my heart!"

Jia Chen's pupils shrank, and his heart froze. Judging from their tone, it seemed that someone ordered them to murder Sister Lin?
Who is so vicious?

Jia Chen climbed up the two-foot-high rockery lightly, poked out his eyes, and looked behind the mountain.

The two women who spoke just now turned their backs and walked towards the distance along the winding forest path.

Although they couldn't see their faces, but judging by their figures and clothes, they were two women in their thirties.

One of the women looked familiar.

Jia Chen frowned and thought about it for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up. This person is Mrs. Liu, the manager of Rongfu's kitchen.

When the Rong Mansion was organizing the funeral for Jia Zhu, Jia Chen came to eat and saw Sister-in-law Liu twice. Because of her tall stature, Jia Chen left a deep impression on her.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly kind-hearted Sister-in-law Liu was instigated by someone to harm Sister Lin!
Sister-in-law Liu is in charge of the food for everyone in Rongguo Mansion. If she wants to harm Sister Lin, she should poison the food.

To poison sister Lin to death without anyone noticing, [-]% of the poisons used are chronic poisons, and it is also possible to use the pharmaceutical principle of various foods to counteract each other, and mix food to produce toxins.

For example, eating kelp and pig blood at the same time can cause constipation.

Eating beef and chestnuts together can cause vomiting.

Eating crabs and persimmons can cause diarrhea.

Of course, there are also some foods that can cause death if eaten together.

Sister-in-law Liu doesn't necessarily understand the principle of these food mutual restraints, but the mastermind behind the scenes can find a poison expert to teach her.

So, who will be behind the scenes?

After thinking for a while, a person appeared in Jia Chen's mind - Mrs. Wang.

Lin Daiyu's mother, Jia Min, had a bad relationship with Mrs. Wang before she got married.

Mrs. Wang probably transferred her hatred of Jia Min to Lin Daiyu.

Most of the women in the Wang family are jealous. Mrs. Wang is jealous that when Jia Min was in the Rong Mansion, she was favored by thousands of people, and she was as beautiful as a flower.

But now, ever since Jia Baoyu met Lin Daiyu, all he thinks about every day is Sister Lin, and she wants to play with Sister Lin when she has nothing to do. Among the charming and charming people in Rongfu, Jia Baoyu only loves Sister Lin.

This is tantamount to stabbing a thorn in Mrs. Wang's heart.

How could she tolerate Jia Min's daughter as her daughter-in-law?
Therefore, Mrs. Wang not only wanted to seize the property of the Lin family, but also killed Lin Daiyu, completely breaking Jia Baoyu's thoughts.

Jia Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and continued to think: besides Mrs. Wang, is there anyone else behind the murder of Lin Daiyu?

Is there still Jia Mu?

In addition, Wang Xifeng is the housekeeper of the Rong Mansion appointed by Mrs. Wang, and Sister-in-law Liu is also under her care. Does she know that Sister-in-law Liu is trying to harm Lin Daiyu?
