Getaway in the Red House

After Daiyu came back from the palace, she hid in the house to recover from her injuries, and never went out easily, because she knew that Mrs. Wang would soon find out that her warehouse and secret room had been stolen.At that time, Mrs. Wang will definitely go crazy and bite people everywhere, so she should stay in the house obediently and avoid this disaster.

Zijuan and the others were also reminded by Daiyu, and they also walked around the yard in a well-behaved manner, refusing to stop by and chat in other yards on the grounds of serving the injured master.

Sure enough, as Daiyu expected, on the morning of the second day after the sisters visited the palace, with the first ray of dawn, Jia's mansion began a lively life.

"Dang, Dang" the self-ringing bell sounded like a golden bell and a bronze chime, awakening Mrs. Wang's master and servant who was still immersed in a dream and couldn't extricate herself.

Mrs. Wang opened her sleepy eyes to look, and then fell asleep again in a daze.But Jin Chuan didn't have such a good fate, he could only resist the rising sleepiness, closed his eyes, groped to put on his coat, and got up lightly to pack it up.

Yawning silently, Jin Chuan first rolled up the bedding on the floor and put it aside, then prepared to open the door and call the little girls to boil hot water for Mrs. Wang to get up.

Staring at the door in a daze, Jin Chuan lowered his head and glanced at the latch, then stretched out his hand to open the latch and walked out with confidence.Since yesterday morning when he got up to open the door, he found that the door had been forgotten to be bolted. Jin Chuan always reminded himself to check it again before going to bed every night.

As for forgetting to lock the door yesterday, Jin Chuan didn't intend to tell his wife.Because my wife is charitable on the surface, but she is extremely harsh in reality. If she knows that she has made a mistake, she will definitely punish herself. That's why Jin Chuan won't ask for trouble. Let's pretend that this incident never happened.

Standing at the door and being blown by the cool morning breeze, Jin Chuan quickly woke up, went to fetch water to clean up and take care of himself, and called his younger sister Yu Chuan and the little girl to go in and serve his wife.

Mrs. Wang is busy here, ready to deal with another day's tedious life, but the lives of the girls in the Grand View Garden are relaxed and comfortable.

The spring day in the Grand View Garden is undoubtedly extremely beautiful. The sisters walked through the garden with flowers and willows in a leisurely and good mood on this sunny morning, and went to greet the old lady together.

"Second Sister, I greet the old lady on weekdays. You are always with Sister Lin. But Sister Lin was injured in the palace yesterday. It seems that you are alone. I don't know if Sister Lin is better?"

Xichun and Tanchun were standing in the Qinfang Pavilion, leaning on the railing to watch the fish swimming in the water, waiting to go out of the garden with their sisters.Xichun saw Yingchun walking over with Siqi from a distance, thinking of Daiyu who was accidentally injured yesterday, she worriedly asked Yingchun who walked up to her.

"I don't know about this. We came back a little late yesterday and felt very tired. We also thought that Sister Lin must be impatient to disturb me, so I went to bed early. But yesterday, I heard from the girls that Sister Lin was hurt. It's serious, I guess I won't be able to struggle these few days, right? Let's go and have a look after the old lady is greeted." Yingchun shook her head and said with a slightly worried expression.

Tanchun looked disapproving: "Sister Lin's body is too delicate, but a little girl accidentally bumped into it, and she couldn't get hurt! It's also because she is so tired and unwilling to move. That's why I developed this look of falling down when the wind blows. On weekdays, the old ladies and wives have worked so hard for Sister Lin's sick body. If you want me to say, Sister Lin should come out and walk more to accompany the elders Let's talk and talk, the qi and blood are unblocked, and maybe the body can get better. In this way, I will suffer less, and it will also save the slaves from seeking medical treatment, so as not to cause more trouble. Isn't it a double-win?"

Xichun felt very uncomfortable when she heard this, so she sneered and said, "Third sister's words are really funny. What do you mean a little girl who accidentally bumped into her and got hurt? Mo Ruo, third sister, let someone bump into her for a try too? Look at the three sisters. How strong can my sister be? During this period of time, you have benefited a lot from being in charge of the housekeeper with the second wife, and now you know that you are planning for this house. It's just to save the irrelevant slaves from trouble. I don't even care about my own sisters' bodies. Is this putting the cart before the horse? It seems that everyone in our mansion who has anything to do with power has become cold-blooded and heartless. If that's the case, it's better to hide away It’s good to be far away, so that sometimes you don’t even know yourself.”

"Fourth sister. You misinterpreted my meaning too much, right? I know..." "Okay, don't bother to quarrel, it's getting late, let's go quickly."

Xichun and Tanchun glanced at each other angrily, followed Yingchun angrily and ignored each other.As soon as the three arrived at the gate of the garden, they met Baoyu and Xiangyun, and a group of people went to Jiamu's yard in a mighty way.

Baoyu was dragged out by Jia Rong, Xue Pan, and Feng Ziying to drink yesterday, and when she came back she was drunk, so she didn't know what happened in the palace yesterday.It wasn't until this morning that I learned that Daiyu was injured from Xiangyun. Now that I saw Yingchun, who is Daiyu's neighbor, I naturally had to ask about Daiyu's current situation. After getting Yingchun's uncertain answer, Baoyu planned to visit Daiyu with his sisters later.

The sisters came to Jiamu's room talking and laughing, but saw that Aunt Xue and Baochai had been talking with Jiamu for a long time.Seeing Baoyu and the others coming in, they naturally greeted each other affectionately.

Xiangyun said sourly: "Sister Bao is an older sister after all, and she has a stronger heart than our sisters. I was so angry yesterday, but I still don't change my face today. It's really admirable! Love brother, you Look at how diligent Sister Bao is, but she lives far away but comes early, it shows Sister Bao's filial piety to the old lady, we should be ashamed."

When Baochai heard this, she smiled and ignored it, and just sat there dignifiedly talking to her sisters.Seeing this, Jia's mother sighed secretly in her heart: "This girl Yun is not as good as Baochai. If it weren't for the fact that Jia's mansion would not fall into the hands of the second wife, this girl Baoyu would really be the best candidate for Baoyu's wife. Alas , what a pity."

Baoyu has always been heartless and simple. After hearing Xiangyun's words, he thought Xiangyun was sincerely praising Sister Bao.So he said very helpfully: "Sister Bao is naturally the best. She takes good care of you on weekdays, and you are like sisters. Didn't you say in the past that if I have such a good sister, I will die. Is it willing to do so? It shows the deep friendship between you two."

After finishing speaking, Baoyu nodded his head in approval.This action left everyone in the room speechless. How naive is it to say such a thing?Xiangyun was even more dumbfounded because of this. Could it be that this loving brother vented his anger on Baochai?Xiangyun was wronged immediately!

Looking at the innocent and innocent Baoyu, and then at the childish Xiangyun, Jia's mother felt a pain in her head.Can such two people really be the ones to support the Jia family? Mother Jia couldn't help but doubt herself.

Jia's mother was a little disappointed because Xiangyun was inferior to Baochai, and even had a headache because of Baoyu's ignorance.For a while, I was not in the mood to joke around, just perfunctory what others said and couldn't cheer up.When everyone didn't know what to do, Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng's arrival suddenly made the atmosphere in the room more relaxed.

Wang Xifeng really deserves the title of "Feng Lazi", that sharp mouth is extremely powerful.A few jokes casually uttered, mobilized the atmosphere, and made the people in the room laugh up and down.Jia Mu hugged Baoyu and laughed non-stop, and her mood improved accordingly.

It's just that God destined today to be a disaster day for Jia's mansion, no, with a shout, a girl with disheveled hair rushed in, immediately interrupting all the laughter.

"Old lady, something is wrong! The second wife... she is crazy!"

For a moment, the room was silent, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to react.Crazy, who is crazy?When everyone looked at the disheveled girl who fell to the ground, they barely recognized the damage on her face.The person with blood on the corner of his mouth is actually Jin Chuan in Mrs. Wang's room.

Recalling Jin Chuan's words just now, everyone woke up.Jia Mu frowned and shouted: "What happened to the second wife? Look at your appearance, how decent you are! Why don't you hurry up and tell me."

As it was about Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and Baochai couldn't help becoming anxious, staring at Jin Chuan to find out what happened.

Jin Chuan said tremblingly: "My wife is fine after waking up today. After breakfast, Grandma Zhou came to ask my wife about sending things to my uncle. My wife took her to pick things from the private storage. The maidservant didn't follow because she was packing up her things, but after a while, she heard the screams of the wife. Before the maidservant rushed over, she saw the wife rushing back in a hurry. After driving the maidservant and Grandma Zhou out, she arrived at the I went to the quiet room for the Bodhisattva."

Speaking of this, Jin Chuan shuddered before continuing to speak with difficulty: "My wife has not been in for a long time, and she went crazy when she came out. She grabbed the servant girl and Grandma Zhou and beat her for a while, and shouted nonsense in her mouth: " Who did it?You bitch give me back my stuff. "While talking and beating, the girls in the yard stepped forward to dissuade them, but they were all beaten by the wife. Now the wife is still making trouble, old lady, hurry up and have a look!"

Mother Jia and the others were dumbfounded after hearing Jin Chuan's narration. What kind of madness is this second wife?But at this time, I don't have time to think about the reason, so let's go and have a look.

Under the leadership of Jia Mu, a group of people rushed to Mrs. Wang's yard. When they came outside the yard, they heard the noise in the yard, scolding and crying.

Panting for breath, Jia Mu was supported by Baochai and Tanchun and stepped into the courtyard. Baoyu was frightened by the shrill voice, and took Xiangyun to hide behind Jia Mu and peeked out.

At this time, the yard was in chaos, more than a dozen women and maids were beaten and kicked to the ground by Mrs. Wang, all of them were disheveled and disheveled like golden bracelets.At this moment, Mrs. Wang no longer had the kindness and kindness of the past, and she shouted like a fierce spirit, and she didn't even notice that Jiamu and her group came in.

Mother Jia's anger reached its peak, she broke free from the support of Baochai and others, walked tremblingly in front of Mrs. Wang, and slapped her hard, which shocked everyone.

Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng were the first to react. Fearing that the crazy Mrs. Wang would hurt Jia's mother, they quickly helped Jia's mother to hide in the distance.

Mrs. Wang was stunned by this slap, covering her face at a loss.After a while, the confusion in her eyes gradually calmed down, and the lost reason was also found.Looking at the messy yard and the messy servants, and looking at the angry mother Jia and her party, Mrs. Wang was so ashamed that she just wanted to die.

"Yuanyang, you go to the study and call the second master to see what kind of madness this daughter-in-law is! Eldest lady, you took the girls away, and the concubine also went back to rest. I will talk to you in a few days. .”

Mother Jia sent the idlers away, and then yelled at Mrs. Wang viciously: "Second wife, get out!"

Mrs. Wang also knew that today's incident was serious, but she was really wronged, depressed, and anxious to get angry. She still had a stomach full of grievances and had nowhere to complain!

After a while, Jia Zheng was invited by Yuanyang.On the way, Jia Zheng learned about the cause and effect from Yuanyang, and when he saw Mrs. Wang, he immediately became angry.After greeting Jia Mu, she sat there and turned a blind eye to Mrs. Wang's plea for help.

"Tell me, what kind of trouble did you make today, so that your master's face can be brightened!"

"Old lady, my daughter-in-law doesn't want to do this either! I lost my mind for a while because I was so angry. Old lady and master, you have to make decisions for me!" Mrs. Wang cried while talking.

Jia Zheng looked at her vulgar look, and a flash of disgust flashed in his eyes: "Look at how you look like a wife now, if you let outsiders see it, wouldn't it be embarrassing to your mother! Why are you dawdling, why don't you hurry up?" Answer the old lady's question."

"Old lady, the dowry and items in the daughter-in-law's private treasury have been stolen, and nothing was left for the daughter-in-law! Even the daughter-in-law... Old lady, you have to decide for the daughter-in-law!"

Madam Wang sobbed and narrated the process of discovering that the private treasury was stolen, but she concealed the small secret room that was also stolen.There is no way, although the things in the small secret room are the most precious, they are also the most shady. They are all things that she secretly withheld and kept. If Jia Mu and Jia Zheng find out, they will never let her go of.

What scares her the most is that there are still some things that can kill her in the small secret room, and of course there is a large pile of evidence for loan sharks, everything makes her unable to eat and walk around.If these things were stabbed out, even the empress in the palace would not be able to protect her, so how dare she tell the truth, she could only knock out her teeth and swallow her blood!

Jia Mu and Jia Zheng were shocked when they heard the words, and they were speechless for a long time.The doors and windows were closed well, and there was no sign of being pried, but a large number of things inside disappeared, which is incredible.But the fact was right in front of them, and they couldn't help but not believe it.

The two thought farther than Mrs. Wang, thinking that the thief would not spend a lot of time just for the second wife's little property, right?Is it because they have other goals, and this is just incidental?

Thinking of this, Jia Zheng couldn't sit still at first. He whispered a few words to Jia's mother, and then hurried back to his study.Mother Jia was also lost in thought here, and the only sound left in the room was Mrs. Wang's sobs from time to time.

After about two cups of tea, Jia Zheng came back with a pale face.Seeing this situation, Jia's mother knew that something had happened in the study.This is not comparable to Mrs. Wang's affairs, you must know that there are many secret letters hidden in the study, if they are also stolen, the Jia family will cause great trouble.

The faces of the mother and the son were extremely gloomy, and the cruelty revealed on their bodies frightened Mrs. Wang no longer dared to speak, and quietly moved aside to pretend not to exist.

After a long time, Jia Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The matter today is quite strange, it is better to handle it carefully. Fortunately, although there are traces of being tampered with in the study, nothing has been lost. This is also a blessing in misfortune." Yes. Judging from the situation in the study, our political enemies must have done it. Let me tell you, let’s keep this matter a secret for now.”

Before Jia's mother expressed her thoughts, Mrs. Wang became anxious: "Master, my whole life's property has been stolen. You don't want to get it back for me, and you want to keep it a secret. What are you thinking?" Yes! I refuse to accept it!"

Seeing Mrs. Wang being so aggressive, Jia's mother snapped, "You don't accept it? Okay, you go to report to the officials! You go and tell the officials why your keys are on you, and the doors and windows have no signs of being pried. How did you go in and steal things? You don’t have to think long enough to think about it. Since even Zheng’er’s study room was stolen, it means that what they are after is not just your little fortune, but our entire family’s life. If you report to the officials with great fanfare, you may fall into their trap, and you will lose your head, let alone your property."

How can Mrs. Wang give up, that is all her savings over the years, and there is also that hidden and powerful thing, if it is not found, it will also be a matter of life.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang seemed to be making a fuss, Jia Zheng, who was eager to find out the truth, said perfunctorily, "Forget it, let me investigate. If there is no trap, you can just report to the authorities."

Mrs. Wang knew that she should not push too hard, and she could only hope that Jia Zheng would find out the truth quickly and find his lost property as soon as possible.
