Chapter 155: Shuiyue Temple Incident
Tanchun cried out in resignation: "Am I just going to watch them ruin the Jia family?"
"Do you think the ancestor is really ignorant? But what did he do?" After Daiyu finished speaking, she looked at Yingchun. They both saw helplessness in each other's eyes and sighed at the same time. How difficult!
From that day on, Tanchun became even more silent, often sitting there in a daze. Daiyu and Yingchun saw it all, but it was difficult for them to persuade her. Some things could only be figured out by herself.
Xichun, on the other hand, hated the mess in the East Mansion the most. She was too busy hiding from it to get involved.
On this day, the sisters were preparing to go to school together. As soon as they walked out of the courtyard gate, they heard footsteps coming from the back door, and a nun stumbled in.
She looked panicked and looked around. When she saw Daiyu and the others, she rushed towards them as if she had seen her savior.
Seeing this, Luluo was about to step forward to stop the person, but was stopped by Daiyu. The person rushed straight to Xichun, grabbed her arm with both hands, and asked: "Xichun, do you still remember me? I am Zhineng'er!"
Speaking of this girl, Daiyu remembered that the old woman in charge of the guards had mentioned it before. Years ago, a little nun came to Lixiangyuan to look for Xichun, but at that time they went to school and were not in the courtyard. The old woman could not let a stranger into Lixiangyuan, so the little nun could only leave disappointed and never appeared again.
After Daiyu handed the matter of Shuiyue Temple to the abbot of Hongji Temple, she never asked about it again. Now, Zhineng'er appeared here again, looking so flustered. Could it be that the abbot had taken action?
As soon as Xichun recognized Zhineng'er, she began to cry and beg Xichun, "Xichun, please help my master! They have taken my master away!"
Xichun was a little at a loss for what to do by this sudden action, and looked at Daiyu and Yingchun for help.
There was no other way, so Daiyu could only order: "Qinghe, go to the school and tell the teacher that we have something to deal with and will be a quarter of an hour late."
Zhineng'er stopped crying and looked at Daiyu in disbelief, her eyes full of accusations.
Yingchun sneered and said sarcastically, "No wonder you gave up so many wealthy families and found Sister Xichun. You think our girl is soft-hearted and want to use us as a pawn!"
Xichun was puzzled and asked, "Sister Yingchun, what does this mean?"
Daiyu grabbed Zhineng'er's wrist, and she cried out in pain and immediately let go. At the same time, Luluo walked forward, grabbed Zhineng'er by the back of her neck, and carried her away from Daiyu and the others like a chicken.
"Don't you understand?" Daiyu explained to Xichun what was wrong. "Although I don't know what happened to her master, this is not the way to do it. If you come to our house to ask Xichun for help, you must also pay homage to the ancestors first. How can you sneak in through the back door and go straight to someone!"
Xichun suddenly realized: "So that's how it is!" She felt something was wrong from the beginning, but she didn't understand the reason.
When Zhineng heard Daiyu mention Grandmother Jia, she immediately refused in a sharp voice: "You can't go to see the old lady!"
Daiyu guessed that something might have happened at Shuiyue Temple, and it happened yesterday. She just didn't know where Zhineng stayed in the capital last night, and that he had been guarding the back door of the Jia Mansion early this morning, and sneaked in when the gatekeeper was not paying attention.
"It seems that the person opening the back door should be given a good beating. If he is so careless and lets a thief in, the consequences will be disastrous." Tanchun frowned and said coldly.
Daiyu nodded in agreement and motioned for Luluo to follow with the others: "Let's go, we'll send the people to the ancestor."
Zhineng'er still wanted to resist, but Luoluo was too strong and she couldn't break free at all. She could only resign herself to her fate and let Luoluo carry her and follow the girls.
She also planned to take advantage of Green Radish's exhaustion and relax, and hide in any rockery or house, at least until the storm is over. But she didn't expect Green Radish to carry her all the way into Jia's mother's yard without even changing her posture.
Despair was revealed on Zhineng'er's pretty face. She could imagine her fate: either being sent to the government or being driven out.
The group arrived at Jia's grandmother's courtyard, and Daiyu keenly heard the faint voices of two young men in Jia's grandmother's room, mixed with Qin Keqing's soft voice.
She raised her eyebrows, glanced at Zhineng'er, and sighed in her heart: This must be a bad fate.
She pretended not to know and asked the little maid who opened the curtain at the door, "Does the old master have any guests? Please go in and inform them."
The little maid came out quickly to invite Daiyu and the others in, saying with a smile, "The old ancestor said that we are all children of relatives, so there is no need to be polite. Just come in."
Daiyu led Zhineng'er and others into the main room. They saw Grandmother Jia smiling and hugging Jia Baoyu and a strange boy. Qin Keqing sat in the second seat on the left, and above her were Lady Xing and Lady Wang.
When Grandmother Jia saw Daiyu and the others coming in, she hurriedly asked them to sit down. Daiyu took the opportunity to walk up to Grandmother Jia and told her in detail how she met this Zhineng and what she had said to her.
Daiyu bit her lip and added, "We felt it was inappropriate, and thought that Second Aunt must be with you at this time, so we sent someone over."
As soon as she finished speaking, Luluo threw Zhineng'er in front of everyone.
I didn't notice it before, but now I realize that she looks a little disheveled, with mud all over her feet, leaving a lot of stains on the smooth floor tiles in Lady Jia's room.
Grandmother Jia frowned slightly and asked, "Zhenwei, what happened to your master that requires our family to rescue her?"
"She...I..." Zhineng hesitated and could not make any clear words. She secretly raised her head and saw the two handsome young men beside Jia's mother, and she couldn't help blushing.
This shy look made Mrs. Wang's face turn pale.
She first glared at Zhineng'er, then looked coldly at Daiyu and asked, "For such an unclear person, just kick him out. Why bring him in and disturb the old ancestor?"
When Daiyu saw that Mrs. Wang was unhappy, she became happy.
She smiled and defended, "It's easy to kick her out, but she and her master often go in and out of the Jia Mansion. If she talks nonsense outside and damages the reputation of Rongguo Mansion, it will be troublesome."
Mrs. Wang was so frustrated that her face became even uglier. She said to Zhou Rui's wife who was waiting outside, "Go to the back door and see who is on duty today. Give them twenty strokes of the cane and drive them back to the farm!"
Daiyu smiled at Wang Fu-ren's behavior of taking her anger out on others, and couldn't help but cheer for her: "Second aunt is so impressive!"
