[Red Chamber] Daiyu's Rebirth Without Regrets

44,

But when Jiamu saw Xiren in a long pink dress and her enchanting attire, she immediately asked with a cold face, "Whose child in your stomach belongs to?"

Xiren shook his body, leaned his head on the ground and said: "Go back to the old lady, this child belongs to the Sun family at the intersection of my house, and is the child of my first husband." As Xiren spoke, he began to cry.

Mrs. Xing stood by and watched, seeing Mrs. Wang like that, she asked intentionally: "What you said is the truth, this child really belongs to the Sun family."

Jia Mu glared at Mrs. Xing, looked at Xiren and said: "You committed a crime, and you are no longer a member of our family, but how come after so long, someone said that the child in your belly belongs to Baoyu?"

Xiren said: "I don't know why this happened. I have only been three months now, but I have been out of the mansion for almost half a year. I haven't even seen Second Master Bao in the past half a year."

"Of course you haven't seen it!" Mother Jia said angrily.

There is no way to get back the attackers. This rumor is so strange that Jiamu can't explain it all over the street when she thinks about it. She can only wait for a long time so that she can gradually forget about it.

It's just that Xiren, who is pregnant with a child, can't be raised in the mansion, or others will really think it is Baoyu's child.Jia Mu looked at Mrs. Wang and said, "This matter must be handled properly, so don't let Baoyu's child know."

Mrs. Wang nodded and said: "Baoyu was arguing to go to Songshan Academy yesterday. My daughter-in-law thinks it's good that Baoyu loves reading, so his father agreed."

Although Jia Mu was reluctant to part with Baoyu, she thought that it would be good to go out and avoid it now that the rumors were all over the sky, so she agreed immediately.She also wanted to send a few maids to serve her, but Mrs. Wang didn't show it on her face, but she was extremely impatient, and said tactfully: "My daughter-in-law also means the same thing, but Baoyu is old and doesn't like maids serving her in front of her. It’s fine to bring four boys.”

Just as Jia Mu was about to say, the attacker had been kneeling on the ground for a long time, and his legs felt a little sore for a while, so he moved secretly, not wanting to be seen by Jia Mu, Jia Mu stared at her and said: "Alright, those four The boy must explain it well."

Mrs. Wang nodded her head, glared at Xi Ren again, and retreated.The rough envoy on one side pulled the attacker and followed Mrs. Wang.

Xiren had been startled and frightened that day, but it was uncomfortable to be dragged by the two wives at this time, and he was about to say a few words when he heard Mrs. Wang say coldly: "Jiao Da of Ningguo Mansion is also a Fate, let Xiren consummate the house tonight!"

Zhou Rui's family approached Mrs. Wang, and said in a low voice, "That's Mrs. You's side!"

Mrs. Wang walked straight forward, and said as she walked, "Take two horses of crimson gauze and send them to Ningfu."

Zhou Rui's Dang even nodded his head, looked back at the pale Xiren and yelled: "Hurry up and leave."

The two women dragged Xiren into a bullock cart and sent him directly to Jiao Da's house.

But he said that although Jiao Da is an old man in Ningguo Mansion, he likes to drink on weekdays, and he always swears when he drinks. Now he is an old man with a gray beard and lives in the stables of Ningguo Mansion.This Xiren was assigned to Jiao Da, not to mention, even Xiren himself couldn't pass his own test.

Simply that Jiao Da got drunk and fell asleep when he returned to the house. Xiren smelled the smell of horse dung and cried in the middle of the night and fell asleep.

In addition, Baoyu packed up and set off for Songshan Academy. Within two days, he learned that Xue Baochai had entered the palace and became the companion of Princess Qingping.

Aunt Xue said a few words to Mrs. Wang, only saying that it was just a coincidence that the disappearing thing happened somehow. Looking at her sister with a red face, Mrs. Wang could only force a smile and said: "Baby girl I’m so happy about this good fortune, it’s too late for me to go to the empress if you have something to do in the palace.”

Aunt Xue smiled and said: "Sister, you're being polite. The empress is a noble concubine, and Baochai is just accompanying her. Besides, she is filling in the gaps. This is just a surprise."

Mrs. Wang naturally understood what Aunt Xue meant. Although Baochai had entered the palace, it was not certain whether she would be able to climb the ranks of the powerful, and Baoyu's retreat could not be broken.

Mrs. Wang thought that the economy in the mansion is becoming more and more tense now, and the Xue family still needs it, so she said: "I have always liked Baochai, and it is her good fortune to be a companion for Princess Qingping. From now on, the Xue family will rely on Baochai."

Aunt Xue's face was smiling like a flower, but her mouth was still modest: "Baochai just happened to be lucky."

The two sisters of the Wang family said a lot of courteous words again, and they left in the evening.

Let's say that Yuanchun in the palace was thinking about Daiyu and His Highness the Fifth Prince, how to talk to the queen, without damaging Daiyu's reputation, and without appearing too eager.

It just so happened that the empress brought a group of concubines to pay respects to the Supreme Emperor, and when she saw Concubine Zhen sitting next to the emperor, she also accepted the greetings from the empress and others.

Everyone greeted the Supreme Emperor, and Concubine Zhen stood on it and watched the crowd salute to herself, avoiding them all, she accepted the gift with peace of mind.The queen's face remained unchanged, she still had that gentle and generous look, and asked the maid to take out the few jade pendants she just got, saying that she wanted Concubine Zhen to choose them carefully.

Concubine Zhen glanced down and saw that Yuan Chun's belly was growing, so she beckoned her to come forward.Yuan Chun looked at the queen, and the queen nodded, and then Yuan Chun walked forward slowly.

Concubine Zhen took Yuan Chun's hand and said: "I remember you were so young when you first entered the palace, and now you are about to become a mother. I see that these jade pendants are in good condition. If you choose one, I will give it to you."

Yuan Chun glanced at the Supreme Emperor from the corner of his eye, and saw that he was in a good mood with his eyes slightly closed.He looked at the few pieces of jade on the tray.These jades came from Fanbang as a tribute, although the palaces have rewarded some, but none of them are as good as these few pieces.Yuan Chun thought about the delicate relationship between the emperor and the Supreme Emperor, so he shrank his hand holding the jade and picked the most inconspicuous piece of black jade.

Concubine Zhen saw her, she just smiled and said nothing, she pulled Yuan Chun to sit beside her.Yuan Chun only felt that many eyes in the hall felt a little uncomfortable at the moment, but he just held back his anger and did not show his timidity.

Concubine Zhen looked at the queen and said, "I don't know if I should say something or not."

The queen said: "Toffee, please tell me."

Concubine Zhen wore a pair of golden phoenix walkers on her head, and she walked gracefully. Although she was already a woman, her well-maintained face was still as bright as spring. She looked at the queen and said, "It stands to reason that I don't want to say that." It should be said, but after waiting for so many days, no one mentioned it, I thought that although I am not the queen mother, I should not say this, but I have to say it after a few days."

After hearing this, the queen cursed in her heart, and she was going to find fault with me again.But he said: "The concubine is my concubine mother, so I can't say anything."

Concubine Zhen smiled when she heard the empress's respectful words, and said: "I heard that Lin and Concubine Yuan's cousin spent the night in the woods a few days ago."

These words were like a thunderbolt, not to mention the following people, Yuan Chun's expression changed immediately, and he looked at Concubine Zhen.

Concubine Zhen still felt that this was not enough, and continued: "I met that cousin Yuan Chun once, she is a good girl, although she has no one to rely on, but she can't dirty her innocence properly."

The queen immediately said: "I don't know about this matter, I don't know where the concubine heard this from."

Concubine Zhen wanted to say more, but she heard the Taishang Emperor with her eyes closed snorted and said: "I heard it all, how did you become a queen?"

The queen didn't want to argue anymore, she stepped forward and knelt in the middle and said: "The emperor's daughter-in-law is negligent, please be punished by the emperor."

The Supreme Emperor said: "If this matter happens, we should handle it properly. Whether it is taking the girl into the house or formally marrying her into the family, there must be a saying, or how to rule the world with virtue."

The queen lowered her head and said: "What the Supreme Emperor said is that the daughter-in-law has been educated."

Concubine Zhen said with a smile on the side: "The empress probably really doesn't know, the emperor should stop talking about her."

The queen knelt down, looking at Concubine Zhen, wishing to bite her off.

The Supreme Emperor said a few more words, except for the clichés of etiquette, righteousness, honesty and shame, that is loyalty, filial piety and righteousness.Everyone was dizzy when they heard it, and finally the Supreme Emperor said something, and everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Yuan Chun felt uneasy from the beginning to the end, and followed the queen back to the queen's palace.The queen looked at Yuan Chun with a pale face, and beckoned her to sit down, and said, "Don't worry too much, you must have been implicated in today's matter."

Yuan Chun was overjoyed and said: "Your Majesty is sensible, I really don't know about this, let alone why she gave me this." Yuan Chun took out the piece of jade as he spoke.

The queen glanced at her and said: "Lin Daiyu lives in Jia's mansion. She said this in front of so many people. Wouldn't it ruin your sister's reputation? You must be ignorant of this matter. Go back at ease."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chun immediately said, "Thank you, Madam, what can I do about this matter!"

The queen squeezed her brows, her face was full of fatigue, and said: "You go back first, let me think about this matter."

Speaking of which, the queen really didn't know about it, but Concubine Zhen had blown most of the queen's prestige and face, the queen was angry but couldn't express it, she could only hold it back.Sitting in the study at this time basking in the sun, thinking about how to solve this matter.

Just at this time, Princess Qingping came. Since the incident last time, the original princess accompanied the reader through the death of the old man and wanted to keep his filial piety, so he never returned.

Seeing that she didn't know how to restrain herself, the queen sent her to live in the Pixiang Palace in the back because of the troubled season.

Seeing her wearing a long bright yellow dress at this time, she came over angrily, and did not greet the queen when she saw her, and said directly: "I don't want that companion."

Now Princess Qingping's companion is Baochai, because Baochai's status is low, this Princess Qingping is not happy in her heart, so she comes here to make noise when she has free time.

I don’t know why I’m talking about this matter again. The usual empress is still perfunctory, but seeing Qingping like this, she looked at her with a cold face and said, “If I had known you had this kind of temperament, I wouldn’t have brought you here in the first place.” Keep it in front of you."

Qingping was taken aback, and was about to say something, but the queen didn't look at her, and said: "You were not born by me, and fortunately you were not born by me, so don't come if you have nothing to do in the future."

Seeing this, the aunt behind the queen immediately waved her hand at Qingping, signaling her to go out quickly.

Who knew Qingping was used to domineering, not only didn't go out but cried: "The queen mother doesn't love me anymore! The queen mother doesn't love me anymore!"

The Empress had just lost face with the Supreme Emperor and was designed. She was already unhappy, but when she saw Qingping's troublesome appearance, she immediately said: "You are getting old, and I can't control it anymore."

Qingping wanted to say more, but was dragged out by two eunuchs at the gate of the Queen's Palace.

Although Qingping was spoiled, he also knew that he had completely lost the Queen's favor, so he burst into tears.
