Now even Mrs. Wang didn't want to speak for Xiren anymore, and even felt that Xiren had deceived her.

She said that she was devoted to Baoyu and said such nice things, but she actually scared Baoyu behind his back. Mrs. Wang's eldest son Jia Zhu died, and Baoyu was the only one left, and Xiren scared him like this. It was really hateful.

There was too much resentment in Mrs. Wang's eyes, and Xiren knew that the virtuous and capable image she had worked so hard to create in front of her was shattered at this moment.

But she was not going to give up so easily. Zhao Yurou, this little bitch, wanted to make her unable to recover from this, but that was impossible.

Xiren cried as if her mother had died. She crawled on her knees to Lady Jia's side and kowtowed loudly several times. "Old Madam, you know the Second Master's temper. Once he gets angry, he won't give up easily. I have no choice but to use the Master's name occasionally. It's not for no reason to scare him."

Grandmother Jia looked down at her, her eyes full of vicissitudes of life, "If it is true as you said, why did Baoyu faint when he heard you mention his father? How can we know that it is not because you scare him so often?"

Xiren's eyes were red, and she looked up, looking like she was really thinking about Jia Baoyu. "Old lady, I really didn't ask clearly beforehand about this matter today. I didn't know that the second master met the old master outside, otherwise I would never bring up the old master at this moment. Although I am a little clumsy and not as smart as them, I also know the importance of it, and you, old lady, know it too."

Grandmother Jia did know that Xiren was originally her maid, and she gave her to Baoyu because she thought she was steady, but she didn't expect that today's incident would happen, which really made her a little disappointed.

Grandmother Jia said coldly, "Anyway, Baoyu is still young and afraid of his father. You tried to scare him with this and scared him out of his wits. How dare you say it's not your fault?"

Xiren didn't want to admit that she only occasionally brought up the master to make Baoyu obedient, so how could she scare him so much? How could he be frightened so easily?

The corners of Jia's mouth turned down, obviously dissatisfied with Xiren's reaction, "Well, since you think it's not your fault, then don't stay here to serve Baoyu."

Xiren raised her head suddenly, "Madam! I have served Master Bao for many years, and Master Bao is used to me serving him. Now you don't want me to serve you anymore. Not only do I feel reluctant, but Master Bao is also not used to it."

Grandmother Jia snorted, "But I see that you don't think it's a big deal to scare Baoyu. If Baoyu doesn't listen to you in the future, you will still use his father to scare him. How can I keep you by his side to serve him?"

Xiren kowtowed quickly and said, "Madam, it's my fault. I shouldn't have used the old master to scare the second master. It's all my fault. Please don't chase me away. I will never leave the second master even if I die."

Grandmother Jia was not moved at all. "You didn't really admit your mistake, but you were afraid that I would chase you away, so you admitted it reluctantly. Is that right or not?"

Xiren was speechless. Indeed, she didn't think she had done anything wrong. Baoyu was disobedient and she just threatened him with a few words. What was wrong? It was just that she was unlucky this time and happened to scare him when the master had just scolded Baoyu, so this happened.

As soon as Grandmother Jia saw it, she knew she was right. "I thought you were steady, so I asked you to serve Baoyu, but you became more and more arrogant and acted like Bao's second wife in this room. Don't think I know nothing just because I'm old."

She originally thought that Xiren was pretty good and believed that even if she became a concubine in the future, she would not be as seductive as Concubine Zhao, so she turned a blind eye to her. She never thought that this girl would become so rampant before she even got a status.

In fact, what made Lady Jia most angry was not what happened today, but the fact that Xiren left her and now went to live with Wang, which really made her look down on her.

Now that Wang had the title of the imperial concubine's biological mother, she had tried many times to bypass Jia's authority. Grandmother Jia was too busy to deal with her for the time being, but she had to let Wang know that this mansion was not a place where she could do whatever she wanted.

After a while of fussing, Grandmother Jia was really tired and didn't want to say anything more. She asked someone to come in and take Xiren out.

"Don't let Xiren go." Jia Baoyu finally woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard Jia's mother saying that she wanted to drive Xiren out. He quickly got up from the bed and said, "Grandfather, don't let Xiren go."

Mrs. Wang hurried over to support him and said, "Xiren made a mistake, there is nothing we can do about it, you should rest in peace and stop making trouble, be careful..."

Mrs. Wang subconsciously wanted to use Jia Zheng to scare Jia Baoyu, but suddenly realized that the old lady was still sitting here, so she quickly swallowed the rest of her words and dared not mention it again.

Jia Baoyu refused to listen and made a fuss, refusing to let Xiren leave. Grandmother Jia had no choice but to follow his wishes and let Xiren stay, but she was not allowed to enter the house to serve.

In this way, Xiren fell from being a top-ranking maidservant beside Jia Baoyu to a low-ranking maidservant whom she always looked down upon. She was not even qualified to serve tea or water to her master.

People she originally taught, such as She Yue and Qiu Wen, are now much better than her.

But what Xiren could not accept the most was that this little bitch, Zhao Yurou, was actually arranged by the old lady to serve in the house and became a legitimate maid.

Jia Baoyu didn't care about all this. As long as people were around him, he was satisfied. He didn't care about their status or whether they could enter the house to serve him.

And he didn't have the heart to think about all these trivial things. His father told him to go there every day until the emperor summoned him to the palace.

For a moment, he didn't know whether he should hope that the emperor would summon him into the palace.

After a few days, Jia Baoyu lost a lot of weight. The fat on his face that had been grown from a life of luxury disappeared, and his cheeks became slightly sunken. Apart from eating and sleeping, he could only stay in Jia Zheng's study and study under the nose of his father, whom he feared the most.

Days are like years.

In the past, when I was chatting and laughing with my sisters, I felt that the day was so short and we had to go our separate ways before we had enough fun.

Jia Baoyu laughed at himself and wished he could turn into a ghost, floating in the air and wandering around, which would be much more comfortable than his current life.

Grandmother Jia felt very distressed when she saw this and wanted to stop Jia Zheng, but then she remembered what Jia Yuanchun said in her letter, sighed, and pretended not to know Jia Baoyu's current situation.

Although she thought Baoyu was frank and cute and there was nothing wrong with him, the emperor might not like him.

If Baoyu still acted so carelessly when meeting the emperor, and if he said something wrong or did something wrong and angered the emperor, it would be a disaster for the Jia family.

For the sake of the Jia family, Grandmother Jia could only ask Jia Baoyu to be patient for a few days. After he met the emperor, he would no longer have to do so.

Grandmother Jia also comforted Jia Baoyu, saying: "If your father dares to detain you again, I will not let him go."

Jia Baoyu's last glimmer of hope was shattered.

Grandmother Jia said that after meeting the emperor, there would be no need to do this anymore, but he didn't want to meet the emperor either.

That person is even more terrifying than his father.

But what was to come must come. On this day, a young eunuch suddenly came to the palace and summoned Jia Baoyu to the palace to meet the emperor.

Jia Baoyu's soul floated in the air, watching everyone surrounding him, dressing him up, giving him instructions, and then sending him to a carriage and driving towards the terrible abyss.
