Jia Mu and others quickly heard about the situation in Daiyu's house and rushed over.
Without exception, whether Jia's mother or Mrs. Wang, the first thing they were most concerned about was Jia Baoyu's "psychic jade".
After an inspection, they found that the jade was not damaged, and they were relieved, and then they had the energy to care about the conditions of Jia Baoyu and Daiyu.
He deliberately scolded them and kept quarreling and bickering every year, no matter the time, and it was still like this on a big day like today.
But when Jia's mother saw his pair of precious grandchildren, one old man burst into tears and lost his mind. He stood blankly in the room and looked at everyone else as if they were nothing. A heartbroken and angry man, he could only lean in Xiangyun's arms aggrievedly, but he could no longer say any words of blame.
Therefore, Jia Mu's face turned pale, she looked at the people serving Daiyu and Baoyu, and said angrily:
"I often ask you to serve me well, but you just don't listen. You insist on letting them get into trouble like this. You have nothing to do. What's the use of you?"
Since it's hard to blame the two true masters, I can only take it out on the minions.
Jia's mother was angry. Zicuckoo, Xiren, and all the maids and servants in Baoyu and Daiyu's house all knelt down in a hurry, but did not dare to say a word in defense.
"Zicuckoo, tell me what happened today!"
After all, Mother Jia is not a harsh person, and both Zijuan and Xiren are her most valued maids. He also knew that Jia Baoyu and Daiyu were both willful, and if they got angry, not a few maids could persuade them, so they asked Zijuan specifically.
"Ancestor..."
But there was no need for Zijuan to reply. Jia Baoyu on the side seemed to have finally come to his senses. He looked at Jia Mu with tears in his eyes and cried: "Old ancestor, please, don't let sister Lin marry brother Lian, okay?" good……"
Jia Baoyu walked up to Jia Mu step by step, held Jia Mu's arm as usual, and said with pleading eyes.
As soon as he said this, many people in the already crowded room suddenly opened their eyes in disbelief.
The marriage between Jia Lian and Daiyu was decided privately by the elders of the two families and was not made public. Jia Mu and others even made a special trip to issue a hush-hush order to the people in the house, so that most of the people present did not know about it. Yes.
They all thought that Jia Baoyu was crazy. She was so good. Why did Miss Lin want to marry Mr. Lian again? But Jia Mu and others were not surprised. Firstly, they heard some news when they came over. Secondly, they knew from the beginning that this matter could only be hidden from Jia Baoyu for a while, but not forever.
But at first they just thought that Jia Baoyu was young and had been close to Daiyu since childhood. As children, it was always difficult to let go of the things they liked. It would be nice to wait until Jia Baoyu grew up and became more sensible.
That's right, in the eyes of Mrs. Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang, they don't think Jia Baoyu knows what love is, they just treat him as a child.
They were used to treating Jia Baoyu like a child.
But they didn't expect that they still underestimated how much Jia Baoyu cared about Daiyu.
So Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang looked at each other. Jia Mu spoke to coax Jia Baoyu, while Mrs. Wang continued to question Zijuan and others.
"The old lady has already told you not to talk about this matter in front of Baoyu. Why don't you listen?"
Although Mrs. Wang's tone was not as harsh as Jia Mu's, her cold look made Zijuan and others feel much greater pressure than when they faced Jia Mu.
Zijuan explained: "To report back to my wife, we have never dared to forget the old lady's explanation, and we have never mentioned this time in front of Second Master Bao..."
"Then why is it causing such a fuss today?"
"because……"
Zijuan glanced at Xiangyun, who was holding her girl on the bed above, and didn't know what to say.
To tell the truth, it would bring harm to Xiangyun. Moreover, the reason why Jia Baoyu broke the jade before was because Xiangyun wanted to speak for their girl. Wouldn't it be unjust to betray her?
But if they don't tell the truth, involving Jia Baoyu and Daiyu, plus "Baoyu" who is more important than these two, they are not qualified to resist.
Her hesitation made Mrs. Wang's expression become more severe.
"Go back to my wife, it's me..."
Behind Mrs. Wang, Shi Xiangyun's voice came.
Xiangyun was afraid of facing such a posture, but she was even more unwilling to shrink back and let Zijuan and others take the blame for her.
Therefore, although he was scared, he still boldly admitted: "Sister Lin and I were talking in the room, and Brother Bao also came over. Madam, it's all my fault, it has nothing to do with Zijuan and the others. If Madam wants to blame, just blame me. …”
Xiangyun really blamed herself, and now she realized why no one in the Rongguo Mansion mentioned such a big matter.
Even Yingchun and the others looked like they didn't know anything about it.
Mrs. Wang looked back at Xiangyun, frowned, and said nothing.
Xiangyun is Jia Mu's niece and has nothing to do with her, so it's not her turn to scold her.
Sure enough, Jia Mu also glanced at Xiangyun at this time. Although she didn't say anything, the reproach in her eyes made Xiangyun feel very uncomfortable.
Here Jia's mother is also persuading Jia Baoyu: "Okay, Baoyu, be good. Your sister's marriage was decided by her father and your father together. There is no reason to regret it."
When he heard that it was Lin Ruhai and Jia Zheng who made the decision together, Jia Baoyu was even more heartbroken.
Why did Sister Lin decide to marry her father, not to herself, but to Jia Lian? Moreover, Uncle Lin has been dead for half a year, and he actually just found out about it. I lament that I am really the biggest fool in the world, being deceived by all of them!
No wonder Sister Lin became more and more indifferent towards me after she came back from the south. It turned out that she fell in love with Brother Lian!
Thinking of this, Jia Baoyu shed tears silently.
Seeing him like this, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang felt very distressed and stepped forward to comfort him, but Jia Baoyu couldn't listen.
Jia's mother and others could not notice it. They only cared about Jia Baoyu, but they did not think that the cause and effect of today's incident was caused by Jia Baoyu's willful behavior.
But at this time, Jia Baoyu, who was the perpetrator, was surrounded by them, holding it in their hands and coaxing her. Daiyu, who had really been wronged, had only the equally weak Shi Xiangyun's small shoulder to lean on!
Wang Xifeng got the news a little later than Jia Mu and others, but she basically followed behind Jia Mu and others.
Looking at Jia Baoyu's appearance, as a cousin who had watched him grow up, Sister Feng felt very sorry for him.
But what can you do? Who told you that there is a domineering brother above you? Who can compete with him for the people and things he likes?
In the early years, maybe you could rely on the old lady and ask her to give in, but now, even the old lady is not enough.
She sighed in her heart, but Sister Feng also knew that whether today's incident was a big deal or a joke, if Jia Mu and others didn't handle it well, if she really wronged Daiyu and let her men know, I'm afraid she wouldn't let it go easily. .
By then, the peaceful atmosphere at home may be broken.
Therefore, Sister Feng ignored Jia Baoyu. Instead, she sat by the bed, took Daiyu from Xiangyun, and comforted her softly: "Good girl, you have been in our house for so many years, don't you still know what Baoyu's temperament is?
Don't get along with him. Don't worry, when I came over, I had already asked your sister Ping to call your second brother Lian. I think he will come over soon. Stop crying now. If he sees you like this, he will be heartbroken. "
Sister Feng's chest is broader and thicker than Xiangyun's, and her voice is as gentle and quiet as a real sister.
Listening to Sister Feng's comforting words, Daiyu even held back some tears for a while and looked at Sister Feng in a daze.
At this moment, she had the illusion that the gorgeous woman in front of her, who had nothing to do with her, and could even be said to have opposing interests, was actually the person closest to her.
Yes, no matter what, after marrying second brother Lian in the future, they will be a real family and they will get along day and night.
As a result, Daiyu, who was so aloof and arrogant, was able to lie quietly in Sister Feng's arms for the first time, and even her heart felt a lot more at ease.
In the center of the house, Jia Baoyu secretly glanced at Daiyu several times. The more he saw her aggrieved and fragile look, the more distressed and reluctant he was to leave her.
The more I feel distressed and reluctant to let go, thinking about having to watch Daiyu marry someone else in the future, it makes my heart hurt so much that I want to die.
In addition, Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, and some people around were comforting him with kind words, which made him have fantasies again.
"Ancestor, you are Sister Lin's direct grandmother. You can also make the decision on Sister Lin's marriage, right?
You should make the decision and cancel the engagement between Sister Lin and Brother Lian. Brother Lian already has Sister Feng. He is not the best match for Sister Lin. Please ask the old lady to make the decision and cancel the engagement between Sister Lin. …”
Faced with Jia Baoyu's full of expectations, Jia's mother felt very uncomfortable.
She looked at Jia Baoyu, who grew up from such a small point to such a big size. It can be said that Jia Baoyu is her heart and soul. This is a position that no one can replace! Seeing him sad, Jia Mu actually felt a little regretful.
But as of now, there is no way to change it. Don't talk about the important matter of marriage being a trivial matter. Let's just say that Jia Lian, the eldest grandson, now doesn't just say what she says.
She could tell that Jia Lian had big ideas. As long as he didn't violate his principles and ignored trivial matters at home, he wouldn't bother arguing with them.
But if she really had the idea of canceling the engagement between Jia Lian and Dai Yu, I am afraid that the entire Jia family would immediately feel the turmoil caused by Jia Lian.
This kind of consequences is something that she, a first-class Rongguo lady, and the old lady of the Jia family are not willing to bear.
Besides...
Mother Jia glanced at Mrs. Wang for the last time, rubbed Jia Baoyu's head distressedly, and sighed: "Idiot, even if I am willing to fulfill you, ancestor, how can you disobey your mother's past?"
Jia Mu didn't think she could live forever. Sooner or later, Jia Baoyu's affairs would fall entirely into Mrs. Wang's hands.
Since Mrs. Wang didn't want Daiyu to become her daughter-in-law, even if she tried her best to promote it, I'm afraid it wouldn't be a good thing.
This was also one of the reasons why she turned a blind eye when she knew that Mrs. Wang was deliberately delaying Lin Ruhai's intention to get married.
Although she felt sorry for Jia Baoyu the most, Daiyu's importance in her heart was not low. She was her only daughter's only daughter. After all, she wanted to consider Daiyu's long-term interests.
In this world, if a daughter-in-law is not welcomed by her mother-in-law, only those who have experienced it will know how difficult her life will be.
According to Jia Mu, it would not be strange for Daiyu, a daughter-in-law, to be depressed to death if she met Mrs. Wang, not only to live a happy life.
Just as he was thinking about how to find an explanation to appease Jia Baoyu, he heard the mothers-in-law announcing from outside the door:
"Second Master Lian is here!"
Daiyu's room, which was originally noisy, suddenly became quiet.
Everyone consciously moved out of the way, so that the center of the room where Jia Mu and others were located became spacious.
Then, everyone saw Jia Lian, who was seven feet tall and tall, walking in with slow but solid steps.
He looked around at everyone in the room, and his eyes focused on Daiyu, who was being held by Sister Feng.
Daiyu's original tears were wiped away by Sister Feng. At this moment, she suddenly saw Jia Lian appear. The grievance that had been suppressed in her heart and had not been relieved suddenly came to her heart again, making her tears also seem to It surged out like a dike bursting.
Seeing this, Jia Lian's indifferent face seemed to flash a hint of gloom, which made those who noticed it jump in their hearts.
Since Mrs. Wang gave up fighting against Jia Lian, she has been determined to have a good relationship with Jia Lian. Over the past year or so, the results have been good. The family is indeed prosperous, and Jia Lian did not find their second room as she expected. Trouble.
At this time, seeing Jia Lian appear so quickly and with a bad look on his face, he immediately said: "Lian'er, don't get me wrong, there's nothing going on here, it's just a quarrel between your brother Bao and your sister Lin. You are not outside, accompanying the old men. Why are you here if you want to have a drink and watch a show?"
"I heard there was a lot of commotion here, so I came over to take a look."
Jia Lian had no intention of paying attention to Mrs. Wang. He looked at Jia Baoyu, who was a little afraid, and asked quietly: "Brother Bao just said that I am not a good match for Sister Lin? Then I am curious. I don't know what Brother Bao feels in his heart." , who is Sister Lin’s good match?”
How dare Jia Baoyu reply to Jia Lian's words? He was so stupid that he immediately hid behind Jia Mu.
Jia's mother was not very happy. She protected Jia Baoyu with one hand and looked at Jia Lian with dissatisfaction: "Your brother Baoyu is young and said the wrong thing for a moment. Why are you trying to scare him if you don't say you should be more lenient as an elder brother?"
Mrs. Wang saw that Jia Lian heard this and knew it was not good.
Unlike Jia Mu, she never thought about letting Daiyu be her daughter-in-law. Therefore, not to mention Jia Lian's insistence on Jia Baoyu's mistakes, but to spread the rumor that Jia Baoyu wanted to "steal" his brother and sister-in-law, it would not be good for Jia Baoyu's reputation, and it would be more difficult for him to get a good marriage in the future. Yes.
So she hurriedly said: "What the old lady said is that your precious brother just said the wrong thing for a moment. Don't be the same as him."
As a Marquis, Jia Lian was the talker of the Jia family. Just standing there brought with him a sense of power.
Even Zicuckoo and the others who were kneeling on the ground did not dare to get too close, so a circle of blank space was formed around him so that everyone could see his expression clearly.
I saw him slowly turning around, facing Mrs. Wang, and asked in a plain but extremely indifferent voice: "It has been said from ancient times that the hatred of killing one's father and the hatred of taking one's wife away. Madam, do you think this is just the wrong thing to say?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole room fell silent.
Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment. Even Jia Mu’s eyelids twitched and she could hardly believe her ears.
They never expected that Jia Lian would make such a fuss and escalate the matter to this level? What is revenge for killing one's father? What is the hatred of taking away a wife? That means fighting to the death!
For a moment, no one dared to answer, and the whole room could hear a pin drop.
Happy New Year’s Eve and Happy New Year to everyone! !
