Chapter 962: Dream of the Red Chamber, Lin Daiyu (125)
“You’re right, we just didn’t understand that.”
Wang Xifeng smiled and didn't take the matter to heart anymore.
Li Siqi asked again, "How are your two boys?"
"It's still like this."
When her two sons were mentioned, Wang Xifeng couldn't hide her smile. "The older one is almost becoming a bookworm. Your father said he could give him a try next year."
The younger one is still unpredictable and likes to run around.
He has no talent for studying and is always running away from home.
He did learn a few martial arts moves.
"How to arrange things then is up to our patriarch to figure out."
"Both of my brothers are good, and my second cousin's wife is just waiting to enjoy her life."
"I like to hear that. I appreciate Your Highness's kind words."
……
As they talked, they soon arrived at Grandmother Jia's courtyard.
They found Qin Keqing and Jia Xichun waiting at the door.
He bowed to her upon seeing her.
After Li Siqi greeted them.
Go in first to visit Grandmother Jia.
There were quite a few people guarding the area.
Li Siqi nodded to them first.
Then he looked at the person on the bed.
It was only then that they realized that the once plump and fair-skinned Grandmother Jia had become incredibly thin.
She was not unconscious at this time.
He stared at Li Siqi the moment she came in.
"Grandma!"
Li Siqi curtsied and said softly, "Yu'er has arrived."
"My Yu'er!"
Grandmother Jia was a little short of breath, and her voice, which should have been loud, became weak.
He reached out his hand to grab her, clearly wanting her to come closer.
"Grandmother, Yu'er is here."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Siqi naturally walked to the bedside.
He sat down next to me.
Holding Grandmother Jia's claw-like hand, she gently comforted her, "Grandmother, please rest well, you will get better soon."
"Yu'er!"
Grandmother Jia looked at her granddaughter.
It was as if I saw my own daughter, so noble and so rational.
She was both proud and somewhat resentful and jealous.
She was proud of her daughter's excellence, yet resentful that she wasn't raised by her.
Of course, what angered her most was that the old man had betrothed his daughter to a scholar who didn't even have a noble title.
You should know that she was determined to let her daughter enter the harem and become a noble lady in the palace.
Instead of marrying some third-ranking scholar.
Unfortunately, at that time, the Rongguo Mansion was not yet under their own control.
He has no right to interfere in his own daughter's marriage.
Unfortunately, her daughter didn't understand her good intentions.
How could she not be angry?
So she knew perfectly well that her second son's wife had tampered with her dowry.
She knew perfectly well that the dowry given to her by her second son's wife had been bribed.
She pretended not to know anything.
She just wanted to know what would happen to her disobedient daughter.
She also wanted to sabotage the Lin family's plans...
The more she thought about it, the more delirious she became. Unconsciously, she muttered to herself, "Min'er, don't blame your mother."
Who told you to disobey?
Don't hate your mother either.
Your daughter is doing well.
Min'er, why don't you listen to me?
Your daughter is disobedient too.
Why won't you and your daughter listen to me?
Min'er, don't blame your mother for being heartless, it's because you were disobedient..."
The voice was soft, somewhat mumbled and unclear.
It was just too quiet; only her voice could be heard.
Even if everyone didn't hear the whole thing, they vaguely guessed what it was.
A wave of shock and disbelief swept through everyone.
He cautiously glanced at Li Siqi's expression out of the corner of his eye.
However, her expression remained unchanged.
It was as if he hadn't heard anything at all.
Li Siqi really didn't pay attention to that.
After all, Jia Min's death was somewhat related to Grandmother Jia, and she had already guessed it.
It's understandable that Grandmother Jia would say such things at this time, as she was experiencing a bout of hysteria.
Perhaps I'm overthinking and too tired.
Grandmother Jia was already asleep at this time.
Li Siqi had no choice but to wait for her to wake up.
A group of people steadily went outside to wait.
Apart from Lady Wang's departure.
Everyone sat together and started chatting.
Li Siqi also knew that these people were living much better lives than in the original drama.
Especially Qin Keqing, who died young, has now had her fate changed.
She has a son and a daughter, and her relationship with Jia Rong is neither good nor bad.
Life is alright.
Li Wan smiled much more often.
Lan Ge'er has already passed the imperial examination.
Not only can we discuss marriage, but we can also get involved next year.
It all depends on whether he can participate in the palace examination next year.
About half an hour later.
Grandmother Jia woke up.
They needed to find Li Siqi immediately and bring her to see her.
As expected, when she came in, Grandmother Jia was overjoyed.
Holding her hand, he smiled happily, "Yu'er is here. This old woman thought she was dreaming."
"How could it be a dream?"
Li Siqi smiled and said, "Yu'er will definitely come to visit you."
How does your maternal grandmother feel now?
Should Yu'er go find the imperial physician?
"no, I'm fine."
Grandmother Jia refused, saying, "I know my own body best."
"Yu'er, don't worry about this old woman."
"Grandma..."
"Yu'er, listen to me."
Grandmother Jia didn't want to listen to her nonsense and was just about to say something.
I discovered there were quite a few people around.
He ordered everyone to leave immediately.
And no one was allowed to come in and disturb their conversation.
The orders of our ancestors.
Everyone naturally obeyed.
After they all left.
Grandmother Jia couldn't help but say, "Yu'er, your maternal grandmother has never asked you for anything in her life."
"I only ask one thing of you in this life, please promise your grandmother?"
"Grandmother, my eldest uncle and the others are doing well."
Li Siqi did not agree, "Even without Yu'er's care, Father will still take care of Uncle and the others."
Grandmother, you don't need to worry about them.
"Not them."
Without even thinking, Grandmother Jia retorted, "Your eldest uncle and his family are doing just fine."
Whether you take care of me or not, it's all the same.
Grandmother just wants you to help Baoyu.
Although Lan-ge'er is alright, I wonder if he will be able to take care of Bao-yu, his uncle, in the future.
After much thought, I think it's best for you, Yu'er, to take care of Baoyu.
"My Lord, please promise me."
"not good."
Li Siqi responded gently.
Grandmother Jia's expression froze.
It seemed unbelievable that she would refuse so directly.
She couldn't understand why she would refuse her elder's only request.
"Master, you..."
"When Grandmother meets Yu'er's mother, she believes that her mother will give Grandmother an answer."
"you you……"
Grandmother Jia's eyes widened, her voice filled with surprise, "You, you knew all along?"
"Yes!"
Li Siqi nodded lightly, "Not only does Yu'er know, but Father also knows."
Grandmother, Yu'er, and Father did not directly target the Rongguo Mansion.
It's already because of my mother.
They brought along their eldest uncle and his family to avoid the fate of the Jia family being destroyed.
Yu'er and her father have already repaid all the debts owed to the Jia family on behalf of her mother.
and so……
Yu'er refuses!
……
Li Siqi left Rongguo Mansion soon after.
No one said anything.
three days later.
Grandmother Jia passed away.
Everyone went to the funeral.
Li Siqi's granddaughter naturally had to participate as well.
After the funeral.
Everything is back to normal.
Li Siqi is still living a good life.
