Detective in the Red Chamber

This is really 'tolerable and unbearable'!

At the moment, regardless of whether he was in front of Jia Yingchun, he gritted his teeth and scolded Mrs. Xing, and then patted his chest and said: how to marry his daughter is his own business, and has nothing to do with his sister who was married long ago.

But how could Jia Yingchun, as a daughter, disregard the opinions of Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing?

In the end, he had no choice but to comfort Xing Zhong for the time being, and thought about asking Sun Shaozong to make up his mind in person at night, so as to comfort the pain of lovesickness.

…………

But when Xing Zhong returned to the guest room, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally he went to the stables to borrow a carriage and horses, hoping to fetch his daughter from the Rongguo Mansion, so as not to be taken hostage by Mrs. Xing.

Unexpectedly, he rushed to Rongguo Mansion in a hurry, but the door was shut - the door was ordered by Jia Amnesty, and refused to let him in, and refused to help pass the news.

Xing Zhong jumped and scolded his mother outside the Rongguo Mansion angrily, completely forgetting that he and Mrs. Xing were siblings.

After scolding for a long time, except for three or five idlers watching from a distance, no one in the Rongguo Mansion came out to answer, Xing Zhong was finally discouraged.

I originally thought of going back like this first, and then slowly trying to find a way to 'rescue' my daughter.

When he was about to board the car, he suddenly saw the white banners of the Ningguo Mansion next door waving, Xing Zhongxin moved suddenly, remembering the gossip that Youshi went to the Rongguo Mansion for dinner at noon, but was rejected.

Since her family had just separated from the Rongguo Mansion, she might be willing to help her spread the word.

At that time, my daughter volunteered to go out to visit her parents. Could it be that the Rongguo Mansion still detains her?

Thinking of this, Xing Zhong hurriedly bought some offerings nearby, and then went to Ningguo Mansion to mourn the funeral in the name of Uncle Rongguo Mansion.

If he was from a small family, they would jump up and scold him just now, and the people of Ningguo Mansion would not dare to let him in at will.

But although the Rongning and Ning mansions are close to each other, there is nearly two miles between the gates. The distance is not too far, but it is enough to block the sight and hearing.

In addition, Xing Zhong was sitting in the standard carriage of the Sun family--in the past few days, Ningguo Mansion has long been used to seeing it--so he was put in without thinking too much.

But he said that Xing Zhong was a hypocrite, after offering incense and offering sacrifices in the mourning hall, when it was time for his family to thank him, he saw two pretty women in sackcloth and filial piety, coming up to greet him together.

It was also the first time for Xing Zhong to come to Ningguo Mansion, and he couldn't tell which one was his mother-in-law, Youshi, and which was his daughter-in-law, Hushi.

Fortunately, when he got close, Hu consciously fell behind by half a step, Xing Zhong confirmed the rightful owner, and hurriedly bowed and said: "I have seen the eldest grandma."

"You are very polite, uncle."

You Shi hurriedly avoided the other side, with a 'sorrowful' face, and was about to say a few words on the occasion, but Xing Zhong didn't expect Xing Zhong to be the first to say: "To tell you the truth, I have another merciless request besides condolences this time."

Afterwards, he briefly explained Mrs. Xing's desperation and severance of contact with her father and daughter, and finally bowed and said: "I hope Grandma will do it."

When Youshi heard that Jia She and his wife even went so far as to put their niece under house arrest in order to 'stop the loss', she couldn't help but be amazed.

However, Ningguo Mansion is currently pointing to Rongguo Mansion as a backer. Although she has heart for Sun Shaozong, she dare not make it too obvious.

After hesitating again and again, he suddenly thought of someone, and hurriedly said: "It is inconvenient for me to intervene in this matter, but my second younger sister is now in this house, it is not impossible for her to step forward."

Chapter 859

【Third Update】

But that afternoon, Lin Daiyu was studying in the Xiaoxiang library, when Zijuan came in to report that it was Aunt You from the second master Sun's family who came to visit.

Lin Daiyu felt a little puzzled.

If it is because of her sister Ruan Rong, she is no stranger to Second Sister You.

But Second Sister You came to visit alone, but it was the first time in history.

After pondering for a while, Lin Daiyu guessed that the other party probably went to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing.

In her heart, she was not worried but happy, if it was just the matter of Second Sister You, it would be fine, if it involved the Sun family, it would happen to be able to pay back some favors.

Therefore, Lin Daiyu ordered Zijuan to invite people in, and at the same time she dressed up a little in front of the dressing table.

When she picked up the curtain and went outside, Second Sister You was holding tea, carefully looking at the furnishings in the room.

Seeing Lin Daiyu coming out of the back room, Second Sister You hurriedly put away the tea bowl, stood up with a smile and greeted her, "I knew that Miss Lin was very kind, but I never imagined that even this room was tidied up so elegantly."

"But there's nothing to do when you're free."

Lin Daiyu also smiled, and sat down with her again as guest and host, but asked straight to the point: "Sister came to my place, is there something to do?"

This bluntness made Second Sister You forget what to say for a while.

But she immediately came to her senses, got up again and said, "Speaking of which, I shouldn't have troubled Miss Lin, but I couldn't think of any other reason for a moment, so I had to pretend to be Sister Tuorong, and go to the garden first."

In the name of Ruan Rong?

Lin Daiyu was a little baffled when she heard this, although it was inconvenient for men to come and go in this Grand View Garden, but a female relative like Second Sister You never encountered any obstacles.

He prefers to listen to what is in her words, and it doesn't seem to be a disease of casual speech.

So he couldn't help but wonder: "What do you mean by sister's words? Is there someone stopping you?"

"It's not about me."

Second Sister You shook her head and smiled: "It's Miss Xing from your house."

Then, he told Mrs. Xing that Xing Zhong wanted his daughter to be a concubine with all his heart, and after being rejected several times, he asked Mrs. Xing, but Mrs. Xing used it as a bargaining chip to blackmail the Sun family.

"Now the uncle of the Xing family is blocked outside the gate of the mansion. There is no one who is willing to help pass it on. He has no choice but to go to the Ningguo mansion next door, and my sister pushed me on top of me."

Second Sister You sighed as she spoke, and said helplessly: "Because this matter involved my second master, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and sneak in, so that there could be a message between his father and daughter. "

When Lin Daiyu was a child, her impression of her eldest aunt was actually better than that of her second aunt, but as time went by, her impression of her went from bad to worse.

But she really didn't expect Mrs. Xing to go so far in order to make money!

At that moment, a chivalrous spirit filled his heart, and he said seriously: "Sister, please be safe and don't be impatient, I'll let someone invite Miss Xing here."

Paused, but then added: "But if Miss Xing is not willing to be a concubine, sister is looking at my face today, but she must not force it!"

Second Sister You readily agreed.

So Lin Daiyu called Zijuan and ordered her to go to Ouxiang Pavilion to invite Xing Xiuyan to come and talk.

Unexpectedly, Zijuan didn't come back until half an hour after she left, and she was alone when she went, and she was alone when she came.

"what happened?"

Lin Daiyu frowned and said, "Is there really someone who dares to stop me?"

But Zijuan quickly explained: "Miss misunderstood, I only found out when I went to Ou Xiangxie that Miss Xing was not there. I heard that she lived in Changcui Nunnery yesterday."

Having said that, she couldn't help but look at Second Sister You hesitantly.

Seeing this, Lin Daiyu said: "If you have something to say, just say it, even for my sister's sake, Sister You won't spread the word outside!"

Only then did Zijuan add: "I heard that it was because of persuading the fourth girl to go to the funeral to fulfill her filial piety. As a result, the two had a dispute, so they went to Changcui nunnery overnight."

Lin Daiyu was bored again when she heard the words, although she had already guessed that there must be some cause and effect, but Jia Xichun's actions were really unacceptable.

My house is full of smog, so it's no wonder that Baoyu always complains about the filth in the world!

At this time, Zijuan continued: "Later, I went to Changcui Nunnery, but I heard from Mrs. Miaoyu that Miss Xing had just had dinner at noon, and she was invited by Hengwuyuan."

Went to Hengwu Garden?

Now Lin Daiyu finally understood why Zijuan didn't invite him back.

She and Xue Baochai were at odds with each other, and even the maids under her were secretly fighting with each other.

If Xing Xiuyan was somewhere else, Zijuan would have gone there without asking, but if it was in Hengwu Garden, there would be more taboos for no reason.

Not to mention her, even Lin Daiyu couldn't help frowning, she didn't know whether to send Zijuan to invite someone, or wait until Xing Xiuyan came out of Hengwu Garden.

Second Sister You also knew about the rivalry between the two, seeing that Lin Daiyu seemed to be in a dilemma, she hurriedly got up and said, "Why don't I just go and find her, anyway, the reason is ready, just say that Xiangling asked me to send some Things pass."

Daiyu saw that she had even thought of the reason, so she didn't stop her, but asked her to wait a while, then took out a booklet from the dormitory and handed it to Second Sister You.

"Here are a few poems that Xiangling has written recently. Take them over and ask Sister Bao to correct them."

But it turned out that Xiangling came from Xue's family after all, and her identity was a bit embarrassing, so she wrote poems, and it was not easy to ask Xue Baochai to help with evaluation, so she asked Lin Daiyu, who was equally talented.

After coming and going, Lin Daiyu and her are both teachers and friends.

But Second Sister You felt more at ease after getting these poems, she thanked Lin Daiyu immediately, and rushed to Hengwuyuan under the guidance of the little maid.

…………

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

However, because Xue Baochai admired Xing Xiuyan very much, she learned of the conflict between her and Jia Xichun one step earlier than others.

This time I invited Xing Xiuyan to the Hengwu Garden, because I also felt that a girl's family would inevitably cause people to gossip in the nunnery, so I thought about leaving her to live in the Hengwu Garden for a few days, and then try again after the turmoil passed. Let the two get back together.

In the afternoon, it happened that Li Wan came to visit again, and the three of them got together to talk about what they had, but they all seemed a little absent-minded.

Needless to say, Xing Xiuyan offended Jia Xichun and his aunt Mrs. Xing one after another. Although she didn't regret it, she was unavoidably worried.

But Li Wan came here because of Aunt Xue, and because he ran into Xing Xiuyan and couldn't get away for a while, his thoughts had already flown to the inner room.

As for Xue Baochai...

She originally speculated that her mother's recent abnormal behavior had something to do with Sun Shaozong—but after trying a lot yesterday, she failed to confirm this guess.

Seeing Li Wan looking into the dormitory from time to time, his heart suddenly became suspicious again, thinking about the rumors that this sister-in-law used to do some fake Phoenix deeds, could it be...

Thinking of all of them, she couldn't help but get hot on the face.

But if the mother really has something to do with Li Wan, it may not be a bad thing.

After all, my brother and sister-in-law are worried, and I am getting older, and I will be separated from my mother one day.

It's fine if you can marry Baoyu, but if you marry someone else, your mother will be alone, which is really worrying.

If I can have Li Wan by my side at that time, maybe it will relieve my loneliness.

Although this thought came from filial piety, the red cloud on Xue Baochai's face also involuntarily became a little heavier.

Seeing that the chat was about to develop in a direction where the donkey's lips were not right with the horse's mouth, Yinger suddenly came in and reported that it was Aunt You from the Sun family who had visited.

All three people in the hall were taken aback for a moment, and then Xue Baochai wondered: "What is she here for? Has our family ever had any contact with her?"

Ying'er hurriedly said: "I heard that she was entrusted by Xiangling to send some poems over, and I would like to ask the girl to comment on it."

"I see."

Xue Baochai nodded, but she was even more puzzled in her heart, because she had heard about Xiangling asking Lin Daiyu to help correct the poems.

In the past two years, except for some gifts during the New Year's Eve, she has never seen a single word from Xiangling.

Although he was still puzzled, everyone had already arrived, so it was not easy to turn them away, so he pleaded guilty to Li Wan and Xing Xiuyan, and stood up to welcome them out.

Lin Daiyu and Second Sister You are fairly acquainted, so they are more casual with each other.

As for Xue Baochai and Second Sister You, they only met twice in the crowd, and they had never even spoken to each other, so it was naturally not a lack of etiquette.

But after a while, Xue Baochai and Second Sister You came in from the outside side by side, and saw Xing Xiuyan alone in the hall, and Li Wan was nowhere to be seen.

Xue Baochai knew that Li Wan must have gone to his mother's place, and for a moment he didn't know what it was like.

Subconsciously, she wanted to introduce Xing Xiuyan and Second Sister You, but Second Sister You laughed first and said, "Miss Xing is indeed here!"

Seeing that Xing Xiuyan also greeted her generously, and said "Aunt You", Xue Baochai suddenly remembered that Xing Xiuyan had lived in Sun's house for more than ten days, so she naturally recognized her second sister You.

He smiled immediately and said, "Since I'm an acquaintance, I won't waste much time here."

As he said that, he raised the booklet in his hand and said with a smile: "It's rare that Xiangling sent poems this time, my sister might as well help to review and comment."

Xing Xiuyan was about to evade, but Second Sister You suddenly withdrew her smile and said, "Actually, besides Xiang Ling, someone asked me to send Miss Xing a message."

Xing Xiuyan was taken aback for a moment, then seemed to have misunderstood something, her face flushed suddenly, which surpassed all Xue Baochai's previous accumulation.

He wanted to ask clearly, but his crimson lips opened and closed a few times, but he still couldn't utter a word.

Seeing this, Xue Baochai couldn't help having a misunderstanding, and sighed for Xue Biao, but said with a smile: "Let me see where sister-in-law has gone, you can talk about yours."

With that said, he made a gesture and walked inside.

Second Sister You finally came to her senses at this time, knowing that they mistakenly thought she was carrying a message for Sun Shaozong, so she hurriedly said: "Miss misunderstood, the person who entrusted me to deliver the message is not someone else, but your father!"

As he said that, he briefly narrated the matter of Xing Zhong being turned away and having to turn to the Ningguo Mansion for help.

Xing Xiuyan's face immediately changed upon hearing the words, biting her cherry lips and hesitating for a while, but she shook her head resolutely and said, "Please tell my father that I can't go to the Sun's house with him right now."

"Why is this?"

Second Sister You was taken aback at the moment. Xing Zhong had personally said before that his daughter had already agreed to the marriage, so why did he go back on his word?

Could it be that he was afraid that Jia She and his wife would fail?
