Spoilers for The Red Mansion, Daiyu’s mentality is broken

Lai Da's corruption in Rongguo Mansion is really not as convenient as Lai Sheng's corruption in Ningguo Mansion.

On the Rongguo Mansion side, there was Jia Mu at the top, Wang Xifeng at the bottom, and Lin Zhixiao and other second housekeepers in the middle were watching.

Where is Lai Sheng in Ningguo Mansion?There is only one Jia Zhen at the top, and this Jia Zhen is ridiculous and careless. As long as Jia Zhen is coaxed, the family property of Ningguo Mansion can't just be promoted and moved?

Therefore, Lai Da has been working as a housekeeper in Rongguo Mansion for several years longer than Lai Sheng, but his money from Tan Mo is actually [-] to [-] less than Lai Sheng.

When Grandma Lai heard this number, she couldn't help but be shocked.

She scolded: "Boss, when you are a housekeeper, it is normal for you to be greedy for money. But there is no limit to greed."

"You have only been a housekeeper for more than ten years. In total, you will steal more than 1 taels of silver a year. How much income does the Rongguo Mansion make in a year?"

"You are so greedy. Once you are found out, not even I can stop you in front of the old lady!"

If you are less greedy, even if your master finds out, he will just laugh it off.

But being greedy too much and arousing the resentment of the master is a recipe for death.

This figure that Lai Da Tan Mo revealed even made Grandma Lai extremely frightened.

Aunt Lai asked again: "You have been greedy for so much, but have you ever left any clues for others to catch you?"

Lai Da said confidently: "Mother, my son is naturally cautious in his actions. He is not as unscrupulous as the second son. If not, my son will not be greedy for a mere 5 to [-] taels of silver."

After hearing this, Grandma Lai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's fine. If that's the case, you must grit your teeth and kill those who can't admit it."

Aunt Lai asked again: "By the way, is the second brother really so crazy? He actually embezzled 36 taels of silver in Dongfu?"

Lai Da shook his head and said: "Mother, the second son has been greedy for money over the years, at most 20 taels, how can there be as much as 36 taels!"

Upon hearing this figure, Grandma Lai said in shock and anger: "What a bastard! He kept saying that he would not count the interest from my Lai family and only take the money belonging to Ningguo Mansion!"

"I didn't expect that he almost doubled the money that the second child was greedy for! This evil-hearted person, our Lai family is greedy, but he is robbing openly!"

"Now I am going to complain to my ancestors, and I will make that bastard even have a hard time!"

Hearing this, Lai Da couldn't help but hesitate and said: "Mother, in fact, our Lai family was at fault in this matter. Even if 20 taels of silver were embezzled, it is still a shocking amount."

"How can our ancestors not be angry after hearing this? Even if we file a complaint, I'm afraid it will arouse our ancestors' suspicion, and my Lai family won't be able to get away with it, right?"

Aunt Lai sighed: "How could I not have known that this was the case? But if my Lai family was confiscated of 36 taels of silver, I still wouldn't dare to file a complaint or make a fuss."

"Aren't you saying that my Lai family is in the wrong? Did you really embezzle 36 taels of silver from the Ningguo Mansion? Don't you mean to tell outsiders that my Lai family still has a lot of silver, but even if 36 taels were copied out, you can still live a good life?"

"Therefore, I have to go to the old lady to make a scene. Even if it arouses the old lady's suspicion, I have to go!"

Lai Da never thought of this, he just didn't turn around for a while.

Now after hearing what Grandma Lai said, Lai Da couldn't help but sigh: "What my mother said is absolutely true, but my son didn't expect this. My son will send his mother to his ancestors now."

"The trouble caused by the sons will affect the mother, and the son will feel uneasy."

Aunt Lai said: "You crawled out of my belly. Isn't it right for me to do things for you? Let's go there quickly."

Lai Da nodded and said, "Yes, mother." Not long after, Grandma Lai sat in a sedan and arrived in front of Rongqing Hall.

Aunt Lai got off the sedan, lifted her feet and walked inside.

The maids of Rongqing Hall hurriedly went inside to report, but the image of Grandma Lai frightened them.

It turned out that Grandma Lai's clothes were messy, her hair was disheveled, and there was a bright red palm print on her face.

The maids and ladies hurriedly came up to greet them and inquire, but Grandma Lai ignored them and went straight into Rongqing Hall.

Seeing Jia Mu, Aunt Lai couldn't help but knelt down on the ground and cried loudly: "Miss, for the sake of serving you in the past, please spare me the whole family of Lai. Please have mercy, miss. Please have mercy, miss."

Aunt Lai cried, talked, and kowtowed.

Jia Mu was so frightened that she hurriedly said: "Quick, someone come and help her up. What do you mean?"

The house full of women and maids rushed over to help Grandma Lai up from the ground and asked her to sit down.

On the other side, Li Wan saw this, stood up and took the girls out.

Mother Jia hurriedly asked: "Mama Lai, what's going on? Did you just say you would spare the life of the entire Lai family? Who wants the lives of the entire Lai family? Why didn't I know, old lady? Please tell me carefully."

"Also, what happened to the palm print on your face? Who hit you? Was it someone from outside or someone from the house? If you have any grievances, just tell me."

As expected, Jia Mu didn't know about this matter. In that case, it would be much easier to handle.

Aunt Lai hurriedly said: "Miss, this is what happened. Not long after I had breakfast at home today, I heard a shouting outside. An unknown group of people broke into the house and beat up the boys. Immediately tied up."

"When she heard the noise, the old lady panicked and asked Lai Da to go out to take a look. Lai Da was also beaten when he went out. After a while, a group of people broke in and said they wanted to ransack Lai's house."

"When the old lady saw it, it was Lin Zhixiao with dozens of boys, so she asked about Lin Zhixiao. Lin Zhixiao said that he came to ransack the house on the orders of the third master."

Hearing this, Jia Mu was greatly surprised.

Brother Huan took Lin Zhixiao and dozens of boys to Lai's house to ransack Lai's house?

This was seriously inconsistent with Brother Huan's image, and for a moment he felt a little ridiculous.

She couldn't help but ask: "The third master you are talking about is Brother Huan?"

Aunt Lai glanced at Jia Mu, her heart trembled, and then said, "Miss Hui, it's Brother Huan."

"I asked about Brother Huan. Brother Huan brought people to my house and wanted to ransack the house and exterminate the family. I don't know why?"

"Brother Huan said that my second son, Lai Sheng, embezzled 36 taels of silver in Ningguo Mansion, so he brought people to my house and ransacked my house."

"My ancestors only thought that although Lai Sheng is incompetent, he still knows how to be honest and grateful. Furthermore, Lai Sheng has only been a housekeeper for ten years, how could he get 36 taels of silver?"

"Could it be possible that Lai Sheng could evacuate the Ningguo Mansion? Could it be that all the servants in the Ningguo Mansion are dead?"

"I know that the third master has been deceived by someone. The third master is the master, and it is difficult for me to distinguish from him. I said that I would come to see the young lady and ask the young lady to make the decision for me."

"Unexpectedly, the third master refused to let me go out. He slapped me on the face and scolded me for saying that I was born as a slave and had forgotten my dignity. If you give me face, I am Lai Lai. If you don't give me face, I am nothing." (End of chapter)
