Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Chapter 180 Xiangyun is upset

When the five sisters got off the carriage, they happened to meet Feng'er walking out of the yard.

"Sister Feng'er, why did you come out?" Xichun ignored Ruhua's outstretched arm and jumped directly from the carriage, causing the people around her to exclaim in surprise.

When Shi Xiangyun saw this, she also found it curious and jumped down from the shaft of the cart.

Feng Er hurried forward and said with a smile, "How can you call me sister? Our grandmother is waiting for you inside!"

Five people chattered as they stepped into the yard.

It was Shi Xiangyun's first time to visit Wang Xifeng's courtyard. She looked around curiously, and every scene seemed very new to her.

Suddenly, she heard a burst of teasing voices coming from the yard next to her, but they were not heading that direction.

"Sister Feng'er, aren't we going over there?"

Daiyu and Sanchun laughed out loud, and she explained, "That's the courtyard of Second Brother Lian's aunt, so it's not where we are going."

Shi Xiangyun nodded in confusion. When she saw Wang Xifeng, she had not forgotten the incident and asked directly, "Why is it so lively in Auntie's yard?"

Her question was like a stone, hitting everyone's head and giving them a headache.

The room fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at Wang Xifeng, wondering how she would answer. But Sister Yuan didn't care about that. She broke free from the hands of her nurse and maid, stared with big eyes, and staggered into Daiyu's arms.

"Aunt, Aunt, Tian!" Sister Yuan'er's childish voice broke the awkwardness in the room.

Under her teasing, Shi Xiangyun's question was ignored by everyone. Tanchun secretly pulled her sleeve and shook her head at her.

After teasing Yuan Jie'er for a while, they told Wang Xifeng the purpose of their visit.

"Oh! It's just a small matter, and you still have to make a special trip!" Wang Xifeng looked at the five of them one by one, pretending to be angry and said, "Okay! I was wondering why you were so kind to come to see me all of a sudden. It turns out that you came to see me because you can use me!"

The five people begged for mercy for a long time before Wang Xifeng spared them.

She carefully explained to them the procedures for organizing a flower-viewing party. By the time Tanchun and Shi Xiangyun had written down everything that needed to be prepared, it was almost lunchtime.

Unlike in Lixiangyuan, Wang Xifeng does not eat lunch.

They had some simple snacks, and when Sister Yuan started yawning, they took the opportunity to say goodbye.

"Sister-in-law, you are in poor health, so don't send us out!" Tanchun looked at Wang Xifeng's almost six-month-old belly with a look of worry on her face.

Wang Xifeng held Daiyu in one hand and patted Tanchun's outstretched hand with the other: "Don't treat me like porcelain! I'm in my advanced stage now, and walking around more will be good for both me and the baby! You'll understand later!"

"Sister-in-law!" Tanchun blushed and turned and ran out.

Wang Xifeng watched her sisters get on the carriage before she slowly walked back, holding Feng'er's hand.

When they passed by the next yard, they could vaguely hear the teasing voices inside. Feng Er couldn't help but spit in that direction: "What a vixen! Why did the Second Madam push the Second Master out?"

Wang Xifeng retracted her gaze and sneered, "If they are gone, there will be others. Why bother? Let's go back to the yard. After playing with the sisters, we are really tired."

In the carriage, Tanchun recalled the key points mentioned by Wang Xifeng, while Shi Xiangyun's mind returned to the scene she saw in Wang Xifeng's courtyard before.

She saw that Daiyu and Yingchun both had their eyes closed to rest, while Tanchun was muttering to herself, obviously unable to help her solve her puzzlement.

So, she set her eyes on Xichun: "Do you know why Brother Lian's aunt's courtyard is so lively?"

"Of course! It must be because Second Brother Lian is in there!" Xichun leaned close to Shi Xiangyun and whispered, "Maybe Second Sister-in-law Lian drove him away because we were going there!"

"Sister Feng is so amazing!" Shi Xiangyun seemed to be interested in Xichun's words.

"What's the big deal? You haven't seen how majestic Sister Feng was when she was the housekeeper!"

Shi Xiangyun frowned after hearing this: "Then why didn't she take care of those stubborn slaves before?"

Daiyu suddenly opened her eyes and said in a cold tone, "With Madam Xing and Madam Wang above us, how can it be the turn of Second Sister-in-law Lian to be in charge of the household? She only needs to take care of the people in her own courtyard. As for the other servants, that is the matter for the master and mistress to worry about!"

After hearing this, Shi Xiangyun secretly stuck out her tongue at Xichun and whispered, "Sister Lin is so fierce!"

Xichun shook her head helplessly: "Sister Lin is right, we really don't have the position or power to take care of such things!"

Shi Xiangyun seemed to have accepted their persuasion. She got off the carriage, said "I'm going to see my ancestors!" and ran away quickly.

Tanchun didn't know what was going on yet, so she looked at Daiyu and said, "Cousin, do you want to go after him?"

Daiyu yawned. "What are you chasing? Her legs are on her body, can I tie her up? Just ask the maid to follow her and make sure she doesn't get lost."

Tanchun stamped her feet and gave an order to the secretary, who quickly caught up with her.

"Cousin, why don't you try to persuade her?"

"Why should I persuade her? I am just a cousin living here. If I extend my hand too far, my second aunt will be unhappy!" Daiyu yawned again, "I will go back to take a nap. You can do whatever you want."

Yingchun naturally followed Daiyu, while Xichun was a little thirsty because she had eaten too much snack at noon.

Tanchun looked in both directions, and finally gritted her teeth and followed Daiyu and the others.

When it was time for dinner, Shi Xiangyun had not yet returned to Lixiang Courtyard. Daiyu did not wait for her but directly ordered someone to serve the meal.

When the four of them were almost done with dinner, Shishu returned to Lixiang Courtyard. Facing everyone's inquiring eyes, she hesitantly said, "Miss Shi went to Miss Baochai's courtyard."

Daiyu nodded after hearing this and said, "It's enough to know where she is. She didn't originally live in my Lixiang Courtyard, so let her go. Now in the Jia Mansion, there is no need to worry about men entering the inner courtyard."

After thinking about it, Tanchun and Xichun felt that what Daiyu said made sense, so they returned to their living habits before Shi Xiangyun came.

However, Shi Xiangyun did not stay with Xue Baochai for two days before being sent back to Lady Jia's courtyard by Xue Baochai.

Ever since Manager Fan's mistress woke up that night and found that all the property in the house had disappeared, she was extremely angry and finally made up her mind to go to the Jingzhao government office and sue Manager Fan for drugging her, robbing her and absconding.

She was worried that this little matter would not attract the attention of the government, so she took the account book that Daiyu left on the table and asked someone to notify Xue Pan.

After reporting the case, she felt vaguely uneasy and thought that something was not right: everyone had run away, so why was the account book still lying on the table?

This doubt made her break out in a cold sweat, as if her life had always been under the prying eyes of others.
