Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 57 Doubt
Jia Cong's strong intervention directly suppressed the old mother who was still clamoring.

Aunt Lu was so frightened that she didn't even continue talking, she covered her mouth and avoided Jia Cong's cold eyes in horror.

All the methods she had used before seemed to have lost their effect, whether it was Daiyu or Jia Cong, they didn't take what she did at all.

"Aunt Lu, what are you waiting for if you don't go down?"

Daiyu was also tired of such private things in the back house, and didn't bother to pay attention to Aunt Lu's little tricks.Seeing that he was still dawdling in the front hall, he motioned to Nanny Li to drive Aunt Lu and the others out.

"Brother Cong, how is my father? What did Yu doctor Li say?"

After Jia Cong sat down, Daiyu personally handed over a cup of tea and asked about the pulse diagnosis.

Just listen to Jia Cong said: "I came here to tell Sister Lin about this matter. According to Mr. Li's diagnosis, Uncle is not sick, but poisoned. But Sister Lin, don't worry, Mr. Li has detoxified Uncle again, but this Uncle needs to rest for a while..."

Contrary to Jia Cong's previous expectation, Daiyu did not lose her face in shock, but instead tightly clutched the account book in her hand, her red and swollen eyes filled with tears again.

Daiyu bit her lips tightly, suppressing the grief in her heart, and said with a choked voice, "Is it poison again? I said that my father has always been in good health, so how could he be so ill suddenly? Did Yu doctor Li say that the one in my father What kind of poison? Was it poisoned at home?"

"I haven't found out yet, but my father has asked my second brother to temporarily take over the affairs of the mansion. I think with my second brother's ability, he will soon be able to catch the poisoner."

On this point, Jia Cong still believed in Jia Lian's ability. Over the years, Jia Lian had not even made a single omission in dealing with the Rongguo Mansion's large and small matters.Compared with the mess in Rongguo Mansion, the Lin family is much easier to manage.

At this time, Nanny Li came over with a middle-aged woman, and introduced to Daiyu: "Miss, this is Mama Zhong from Aunt Fang's yard. Aunt Fang sent her here to hand over the key to the card. Yes, the master has let Aunt Fang take care of the house for the past two years."

I saw Mother Zhong gave Daiyu a Wanfu gift, and then handed a pair of cards to Daiyu: "Servant, please greet the eldest lady. Our aunt said that since the eldest lady is back, the affairs in this house are naturally for the eldest lady to come." Make the decision. So I sent a maidservant to return the key to the card. If the eldest girl is unclear about something and needs help, she can send the maidservant to Zhiqingyuan to tell her, and the maidservant will be there immediately."

"So it's Aunt Fang's housekeeper, so let's keep the pair of keys in Aunt Fang's place."

Daiyu is quite familiar with Fang's aunt. She was the big maid next to her mother Jia Min, and later became an aunt. Daiyu often went to play with her when she was young, and she lost contact until she went to the capital.

I saw Daiyu push the cards back: "Aunt Fang is also an old man in the family, so I won't beat around the bush. I don't know how long I will stay when I go home this time, and things in the house still follow the old rules. Today I sang this play for outsiders, and I wanted to see if anyone else had other thoughts during the period when my father was seriously ill. Mama Zhong went back and told Aunt Fang that she didn't have to hide anything, what she was like before, It’s still what it is now, I’ll go talk to her tomorrow when I’m free.”

Mother Zhong didn't expect Daiyu to tell the story so directly, and after a brief surprise, she sighed: "My aunt is also worried that the eldest girl is in charge of the house for the first time. If she comes here, people will think that my aunt has the intention of fighting for power and profit." I worry about unnecessary misunderstandings. Otherwise, my aunt would have come to see the eldest girl long ago, so how could the people from Qinxinyuan come to the front!"

Daiyu couldn't help laughing, she didn't expect that after three years away from home, there would be a house fight in Lin's back house.

She shook her head, briefly comforted Mother Zhong, and finally escorted her out of the front door.

After Daiyu returned to the room and sat down again, Jia Cong took a sip from the teacup and said softly, "This Aunt Fang is quite interesting, unlike that Aunt Lu who even forgot about her superiority and inferiority." ..."

Unexpectedly, Daiyu stared at the ledger in her hand and sighed, "But now I'm not sure if I can trust Aunt Fang."

Ok?
"why?"

After Daiyu glanced at Zijuan who was guarding the door, she explained to Jia Cong in a low voice: "Aunt Fang is the dowry maid chosen by my grandmother for my mother, and her parents and brothers are still in Rongguo Mansion. It can be said that she is In the back house of the Lin family, I, the eldest girl of the Lin family, is the most trustworthy person. But you can see that she is deliberately keeping her distance from me. Brother Cong, do you think I should trust her or not?"

"This is..."

After what Daiyu said, Jia Cong also felt that Aunt Fang's behavior was a bit suspicious.

Daiyu is the niece of the Rongguo Mansion. She is an aunt who was born in the Rongguo Mansion. She doesn't insist on ingratiating her allegiance and avoids suspicion. Is she planning to let Daiyu go back and talk to her parents and brothers?

Could it be that she is a person with a cold temperament and indifferent feelings?
Daiyu didn't continue to say anything, and after thinking for a while, she said to Jia Cong: "Brother Cong, do me a favor and ask someone to find out how Aunt Fang's parents and brothers have been doing in the past few years? Then find out what they are related to. Correspondence between Aunt Fang and so on."

Jia Cong nodded: "This is not difficult, but Sister Lin, do you suspect that there is something wrong with Aunt Fang just based on this point?"

"Actually, I don't know why, but I just feel something is wrong, especially when Mother Zhong told me that Aunt Fang has been a good Buddha in recent years, and that Aunt Fang has been copying scriptures and praying for Dad these days."

Daiyu said sadly: "If I remember correctly, I saw several Taoist scriptures at Aunt Fang's when I was young. How could she convert to Buddhism so quickly?"

……

Daiyu has never felt the great changes in the Lin family so clearly. The backyard of the Lin family is simple, except for Aunt Fang who originally lived in Zhiqingyuan, only Aunt Lu from Qinxinyuan has been added in recent years.

But precisely because of this Aunt Lu, the Lin family's back house would become chaotic because of the appearance of Aunt Lu, disturbing the whole family's peace.

It is said that Aunt Fang, the housekeeper, has nothing to do with Aunt Lu. In addition, Lin Ruhai has been busy with the affairs of the salt administration for the past few years, and rarely pays attention to the affairs of the inner house. As a result, Aunt Fang gradually lost control of going to the back house of the Lin family.

After spending a whole day, Daiyu has basically figured out the reforms of the Lin family in the past three years.

Among them, the great change of Aunt Fang made her a little shocked. In just three years, she changed from a Taoist to a loyal Buddhist. It is said that the silver given to the Buddhist temple alone is no less than hundreds two.

You must know that Aunt Fang's parents and brothers are still working as slaves in Rongguo Mansion.

Just as she was thinking about the unusualness, Jia Lian asked her to come to the study to talk.
