Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Chapter 244 What Crazy Chapter

However, Grandmother Jia certainly could not explain in detail the sadness and helplessness involved to these five maids.

Grandmother Jia paused, then sighed and said, "The gift from the emperor this time was also stolen and sold by them. The current affairs of our mansion have also involved the Ningguo Mansion. I really can't even face my elder brother and sister-in-law in person even if I die!"

With just this one sentence, Grandmother Jia determined the nature of the matter.

Daiyu and the others chatted with Lady Jia for a while, and seeing that she was a little tired, Yingchun took the other sisters and said goodbye first.

But Daiyu stayed.

Upon seeing this, Grandmother Jia also asked Yuanyang and Amber to leave first, leaving only the two of them, the grandparents and grandchildren, in the entire flower hall.

She looked at Daiyu with complicated eyes and had many guesses in her mind, but she didn't know where to start.

Daiyu did not wait for Grandmother Jia to speak first, and directly put forward her request: "Grandmother, I want to go to the Jinyiwei prison."

Her tone was calm, like she was asking what to have for dinner, and it sounded more like a notification than a request.

"You're crazy!" When Lady Jia heard this, she almost dropped her jaw in shock.

Daiyu was unmoved and continued, "I just have something I want to ask Butler Lai. I think after this punishment, the Lai family will be doomed to be exterminated. By then, the things I want to ask may never be answered with Butler Lai's death."

There was an unquestionable determination in Daiyu's tone, which made Grandmother Jia feel vaguely uneasy.

"Why are you so persistent in getting an answer, kid?"

As soon as she asked the question, Grandmother Jia regretted it immediately.

Daiyu's eyes were firm and her words were clear, not giving Grandmother Jia any chance to escape: "I just want to ask Housekeeper Lai if he has tampered with my mother's dowry."

Grandmother Jia frowned slightly and slowly closed her eyes, but her trembling eyelids betrayed the unrest in her heart.

She really couldn't say anything to stop Daiyu from investigating, and she was in no position to make Daiyu give up on finding the truth.

For a moment, the hall fell into silence.

The grandparents and grandchildren seemed to be engaged in a silent tug-of-war, with each side waiting for the other to give up first.

In the end, it was Grandmother Jia who was defeated.

She sighed and finally compromised: "Since you insist so much, then go ahead. I'll go with you."

Daiyu thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay. But when I go to see the housekeeper Lai, grandma should not show up. I'm worried that if he sees you, he won't tell the truth."

"I understand!"

The grandparents and grandchildren reached an agreement, and Daiyu returned to Lixiangyuan.

Yingchun was sitting in the corridor. When she saw her come back, she asked casually, "What did you say to the ancestor?"

"Nothing, just asked her to take me to the Jinyiwei prison tomorrow."

Yingchun sat up with a whoosh and stared at Daiyu, trying to tell from her face whether she was joking or not.

"What's wrong?" Daiyu was confused by the look on her face. Why was she so surprised?

Yingchun walked up to Daiyu and pulled her to sit beside her. "The Jinyiwei Yamen near Chengtian Gate?"

Daiyu looked at Yingchun's nervous expression with amusement and asked: "How many Jinyiwei yamen are there in the world?"

“Every city has one!”

Daiyu slapped Yingchun in annoyance and said, "I won't talk nonsense with you anymore! I have something serious to ask the housekeeper Lai tomorrow!"

With Daiyu's hint, Yingchun instantly understood what she wanted to ask: "About Aunt Min!"

"Yes, I always have to ask for clarification."

Daiyu didn't worry too much about tomorrow's affairs, because tomorrow was also Xichun's birthday.

The menu had already been prepared, and the necessary ingredients had been secretly delivered to Lixiangyuan by the guards.

Grandmother Jia has reached a consensus with the retired emperor and the emperor, and the Jinyiwei have always been well-informed, so the strong men responsible for surrounding the Jia Mansion are quite relaxed, waiting for orders from above and then they will return home.

Daiyu returned to her room and began searching for things like truth serum and truth talismans in the system mall.

If Daiyu's soul cultivation technique could be practiced to the great success level, perhaps she would be able to achieve such an effect without the help of external objects.

However, there is still a big gap between her ideal and now she can only browse the products in the mall honestly and then make corresponding plans.

After a long period of selection, she finally chose a tube of truth serum and an exquisite dagger.

The dagger was given as a birthday gift to Xichun.

When Xichun was painting the red spider lily, she realized that she was trapped in the Jia Mansion and could not see the vast world outside.

No matter how skilled she was at painting, she could only paint the people in the mansion, or the common flowers, birds, insects and fish in the yard.

But if she could go out, it would be different - traveling around, appreciating the great rivers, mountains, lakes and seas, wouldn't she be able to paint more beautiful paintings!

It was precisely because of this consideration that Daiyu specially selected this dagger for Xichun to use for self-defense.

Although it is not as powerful as his own boxing gloves, it is still a sharp weapon that can cut through iron like mud in this small world.

It also comes with a book on light-weight Kung Fu techniques.

In addition, Xichun has been learning health-preserving exercises from Luluo. With these treasures, she is more than capable of protecting herself.

Daiyu put the dagger and the skills into an exquisite wooden box, and then called Qinghe.

"Go and tell the kitchen staff to prepare two meat dishes and two steamed buns early tomorrow morning. Put them in a lunch box. I will need them."

"Okay, girl."

Qinghe agreed, and mentioned to Daiyu that she and Yu Ziru planned to visit her stepmother on the way, and might arrive in Yangzhou half a year later than Daiyu.

Daiyu frowned slightly, but still expressed her understanding.

Now that Yu Ziru's crisis has been resolved, it is understandable that he wants to find his wife and daughter.

Daiyu was worried about other issues, so she suggested, "Why don't you let Luluo accompany you? The two girls can be together and take care of each other on the way."

Because Qinghe and Luluo often serve Daiyu together, their relationship is deeper than with other sisters.

Moreover, Luluo's martial arts skills are second only to Lanrui among the maids. Daiyu can feel more at ease with her going along.

Qinghe was naturally very happy when she made this suggestion. She changed her usual calm temperament and ran to tell Luoluo the good news.

Daiyu smiled and shook her head. She found that after the girl was loved, she actually became more delicate and charming like a little girl.

After nightfall that day, Daiyu did not go to the Lin Mansion to practice, but went to bed early.

She kept replaying in her mind the plan of questioning Lai Da tomorrow. In this way, Daiyu slowly fell asleep.

In the early morning, just as the sky in the east was beginning to turn pale, she opened her eyes.

Xueyan brought two food boxes prepared by the cook into the room, and Daiyu asked her to go out and get busy.

As the day of departure drew closer, Daiyu's maids became increasingly busy.

Yingchun also moved back to the east wing where she lived and no longer lived with Daiyu.
