Chapter 107-1 Let's go to the front yard
When the servant was called, he responded happily and ran into the yard.
The old woman finally woke up from her dream and asked, "Young lady, this is not a good idea! He is Madam Wang's nephew!"
Daiyu stared at the old woman for a long time before she asked, "Whose family are you from?"
The old woman smiled awkwardly and said, "Of course I am a servant of the Lin family."
Daiyu took Yingchun's hand and walked towards the inner courtyard, saying as she walked: "I thought you were a servant of the Jia family!"
The old woman wanted to follow, but was stopped by the servants: "Old woman Xia, you can't just enter the inner courtyard casually!"
Mrs. Xia curled her lips, turned around and stood back at the door, guarding the door and watching the fun.
Yingchun looked at the busy maids in the courtyard and asked Daiyu worriedly, "Is this really okay?"
"It's okay. You may not be able to return to the Lin Mansion yet! Just wait and see. Things are not over yet!" Daiyu patted her hands to comfort her, and looked towards the direction of the courtyard gate, as if she was looking through layers of obstacles at the courtyard where the Xue family lived.
Soon, the noisy noise outside quieted down.
"Look, it's quiet now!" Daiyu smiled playfully at Yingchun, then her tone was full of sarcasm, "The East-West Alley is just a straight road, how could she not know that her brother was making trouble in front of my courtyard? She is just pretending to be ignorant. It seems that I just made her swallow her words last time, and she hasn't learned enough lessons yet."
In fact, what she was thinking was: the last time Xue Pan was punished, no one could tell that she had played a role in it. Although this was covert, it was not satisfying enough.
This time it's different. If you want to blame someone, blame Xue Pan for his fearless nature and for taking the initiative to run into Daiyu's trap. Then don't blame her for being rude.
Then, Yuanyang was led into the house by the maid. Inside the house, Daiyu and Yingchun exchanged glances quickly, Daiyu leaned on Yingchun's pillow and pretended to wipe her tears, while Yingchun cooperated and comforted her softly.
On the surface, it does look like a picture of deep sisterly love. But in reality, what Daiyu heard was: "You can't just wail, you have to squeeze out a few tears to make it more realistic!"
Daiyu twitched her lips, imagining that she had completed the task, but System 111 was unwilling to give her the reward she deserved. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.
When Yuanyang walked in, he saw Daiyu looking at him with tears in her eyes. A crystal tear rolled down her cheek, and Yuanyang's heart softened immediately.
She felt a little sympathy for Honglian and couldn't help but think of herself, feeling that Honglian's situation was actually quite similar to hers.
She stepped forward and comforted Daiyu softly, "Don't worry, young lady, the old lady will definitely make the decision for you!"
Daiyu let Yuanyang wipe away her tears and said with a sob: "I am just a plant, helpless in this divine capital, and my father is far away in Yangzhou. What is the difference between me and those rootless duckweed? I am just at the mercy of the flowing water."
After Yuanyang entered the room, Yingchun quietly retreated to the side. When she heard Daiyu's words, she almost couldn't control her expression.
While hugging Yuanyang, Daiyu secretly glared at Yingchun, implicitly hinting to her not to ruin her good thing.
Yuanyang comforted Daiyu for a long time before saying, "The second master in front has also been alarmed..."
Daiyu immediately raised her head and stared at Yuanyang's face, asking, "Is grandma blaming me for making such a big fuss?"
"No, no!" Yuanyang denied it again and again. How could she dare to admit such words?
Even if someone in the mansion really talked about this in private, it would never be brought to the surface. The masters in the mansion all knew that Daiyu must not be allowed to return to the Lin Mansion today, otherwise the reputations of Xue Baochai and Xue Pan would be completely ruined, but Aunt Xue didn't care about it.
Yuanyang changed her words: "Miss, what the second master meant is that since this matter involves the front yard and the inner yard, why don't we all go to Rong Xi Tang together and talk it out. Maybe this is a misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding? What kind of misunderstanding can involve my daughter's innocence!" Daiyu felt uncomfortable when she heard this, and her words became sharp. "If Sister Yuanyang encountered such a thing, for example, if the eldest uncle said that the concubine in his courtyard looked like you, would you be able to respond with a smile and pretend that nothing happened?"
Yuanyang's face turned pale in an instant. Daiyu's words were like a sharp knife, piercing her vital points.
Jia She always looked at her with a subtle look. She thought she was the only one who knew, but she didn't expect that even Daiyu, who was less than ten years old, could see the clues. How many people in the entire Jia family knew this secret? Yuanyang didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Yuanyang stood there in a daze. Daiyu did not wake her up, but asked Yingchun, "Do you want to go too?"
"Go! How can you miss such a fun event?" Yingchun winked at Daiyu. She didn't feel sorry for Yuanyang either. After all, as the old saying goes, you don't know the pain until you are pricked by a needle.
The two of them walked to the door of the main room together. Honglian was already waiting there, looking at Daiyu with burning eyes, as if she was ready to go to the battlefield at any time.
Daiyu smiled with satisfaction and said, "It seems that you have not followed the maids for nothing during this period of time. If you are still like you were at the beginning, complaining about yourself when things go wrong, then I have really misjudged you. Xueyan, Lanrui, the two of you, along with Nanny Wang and Nanny Liao, continue to guard the yard with your men. Luluo, go get six fences..."
At this time, Tanchun and Xichun also heard the news and hurried over.
Before they could speak, Daiyu said, "It is not appropriate for you to be here today. Even if you go, you will be driven back. I promise you that when we come back, I will let Luluo tell you what happened. How about that?"
Although Tanchun was a little disappointed, she understood that Daiyu was right. Xichun was younger after all, and her face was full of unhappiness. She pestered Daiyu and asked to drink sweet soup and listen to stories in the evening, and then she gave up.
Daiyu, Yingchun, Honglian, Qingwen, Luluo and Gu Mama all wore veils to cover their whole bodies. In contrast, Yuanyang stood aside and looked particularly eye-catching.
"Sister Yuanyang, we can go to the front yard." Daiyu's voice still sounded soft and sweet, making Yuanyang a little dazed, as if the person who had spoken so sharply just now was not the little girl in front of her.
Yuanyang walked alone in front, followed by six people covered in white veils. They walked through the alley, entered from the east corner gate, passed Mrs. Wang's courtyard, and finally arrived at the main house of Rongxi Hall.
At this moment, in the main room, Jia's mother was sitting in the main seat, with men and women sitting on the left and right sides respectively. Behind the women's side, there was a screen.
