Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 312 Let Me Break It Down for You

Daiyu hugged Wang Xifeng, patted her shoulder hurriedly, and immediately said, "I'm going to see my grandmother first!"

Wang Xifeng wiped her tears while walking with her arm in hand, whispering anxiously, "It is said that the oil is running out and the lamp is dying..."

"Shut up!" Lin Daiyu shouted harshly, her sharp eyes sweeping across Wang Xifeng fiercely, "Until Aunt Meng makes a diagnosis, no one is allowed to curse my grandmother!"

When she finished speaking the last sentence, her beautiful eyes were instantly filled with tears.

Wang Xifeng knew that she was truly flustered and sighed inwardly, but she would certainly not ignore her.

He just hurriedly led the way into Lady Jia's main room.

Because it was winter, there were not many men in the clan to visit. Now the only people outside were Jia She and Jia Zheng who had heard the news and rushed over.

When Daiyu saw them, she knelt slightly and said, "Greetings, uncles one and two."

Then, without any more greetings, he walked quickly into the inner room.

Mrs. Xing, Xichun, Yuanyang and others were all waiting inside. What surprised Daiyu the most was that Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin were also inside!

Daiyu frowned slightly and greeted Mrs. Xing first. Mrs. Xing knelt down and said, "My lord, there is no need to be so polite!"

"Who is this?" Daiyu looked at Xue Baoqin.

This was the little girl that Grandmother Jia loved most in her previous life. For Baochai's sake, she treated her very well.

But I haven't seen her in this life yet. She has already gone to Beijing? How come she is here?

Xue Baochai and Baoqin bowed to Daiyu: "Xue Baochai and Baoqin pay their respects to Princess Zhaoqing."

"Oh, Baoqin. She's the girl from the second branch of the Xue family, right?" Daiyu's face remained calm.

Xue Baochai agreed with a smile: "That's right. I..."

"You two, I brought a female doctor with me to see my grandmother. We should talk about our friendship some other day."

Daiyu interrupted her and looked at Xichun, "Fourth sister, please send the Xue sisters out for me."

He even politely nodded to the two of them with a hint of apology, "Please don't blame me for not welcoming you well."

He drove the two out so easily and cleanly.

Xue Baoqin was young and couldn't hide her emotions, so her face changed immediately.

Xue Baochai was afraid that she would say something she shouldn't and Daiyu would use it against her, so she quickly pulled her hand and said goodbye with a smile:

"My sister has the old lady's favor, so when I heard that she was ill, I came to visit her. Now I have to say goodbye..."

Unfortunately, Daiyu didn't listen to her at all. After nodding, she immediately turned to Aunt Meng and said, "Don't just stand there. Go check her pulse!"

Aunt Meng was still watching the fun happily. When she heard this, she quickly agreed and went to the bed.

Yuanyang had been sweating with anxiety for a long time, and looked at Baochai and her sister with a cold look. At this time, she saw Aunt Meng coming over, and hurriedly drew the curtain, smiling and saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Aunt!"

Aunt Meng nodded, then sat down on the waisted stool that had been prepared beside the bed. She took out her wrist pillow, gently placed the old lady's increasingly thin hand covered with age spots on it, and concentrated on listening to her pulse.

Daiyu followed her, took a few steps over, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at the unconscious Lady Jia on the bed.

Compared with before she left, Grandmother Jia was almost unrecognizable, with a head full of silver hair and a gray face.

It's really like it's at the end of its rope!

Daiyu's tears fell unconsciously. She lowered her head to wipe away the tears, but the more she wiped, the more tears came.

It was so quiet here. Xue Baochai finished her words calmly, then said goodbye to Mrs. Xing and left the inner room accompanied by Xichun and Wang Xifeng.

Outside, Jia She and Jia Zheng both had stern faces and ignored the two sisters' farewells.

After they left the house, Wang Xifeng hurriedly grabbed Xichun and said with a smile, "Fourth sister, go back. I'll see them off."

Xichun was young, and although she was very impatient to be "sent away", she didn't know how to refuse. When she heard Wang Xifeng's words, she was very pleased and agreed with a smile: "Yes, sister-in-law."

Then he curled his lips towards the Xue sisters, turned around and went back without taking another step forward.

Wang Xifeng escorted the Xue sisters out of the courtyard and said with a fake smile, "Sister Xue, from the perspective of the Wang family, we are cousins. But this is the Jia family.

“The old lady of the Jia family is ill. If we weren’t relatives, it would be my aunt who should come to visit.

"If your aunt is not feeling well, then it should be your brother, Master Xue, who is accompanying you and your sister to visit her.

"Besides, your family runs a pharmacy. How come you are reluctant to bring even some ginseng, deer antlers and cordyceps when you come to visit a patient?

"Oh, I forgot, the ginseng that our old lady started using at the beginning of the year is no longer in your house. The princess spent a lot of money to buy it and sent it to you!

"To visit relatives, you have to wait for winter and summer. I can't enter the princess's mansion, so I just wait for this time to 'encounter' by chance. Sister Xue, we are all fools, so goodbye!"

"We are sisters, I am speaking to you frankly and giving you kind advice.

"You really pissed off the princess. You know her temper. The word 'begging for money' is used to describe you. It's not shameful for the Xue family, but it's shameful for the Wang family!"

Xue Baoqin's face turned red and white, and she turned around and cried with gritted teeth.

Xue Baochai remained calm and composed: "Sister Feng also said that we sisters should not follow the Jia and Xue families, but the Wang family.

"I didn't come here on my mother's orders, but on the orders of your uncle, my maternal uncle, Lord Wang Ziteng, to meet the princess and see if I can have a conversation with her.

"Now, I have completed the order and got the result: I can't say anything. Then I will go back and hand in the order.

“As for why Lord Wang didn’t let you, Sister Feng, do this, but instead gave it to me, why don’t you go back to the Wang family and ask him in person.

"But I'm afraid you can't go back to the Wang family."

Wang Xifeng was stunned.

Xue Baochai smiled with curved lips: "In fact, these things can be passed if we all pretend to be deaf and dumb and keep a decent face. If you insist on revealing your bottom and exposing your body to each other, then we should all stop hiding.

"My Xue family could have stood aside and watched this matter. But the Wang family is my uncle's family. My uncle has entrusted me with this matter. I am happy to act as a middleman and help you resolve some issues."

Wang Xifeng stared at her for a while, then suddenly stepped back and smiled, "Sister Xue is so eloquent, I can never catch up with her even if I flatter her all my life!

“Although I have been in the Jia family for many years, I am just a grandson’s wife and I have no say in anything.

"As for the Wang family, I am a concubine's daughter, and my parents were driven back to their hometown to make a living as farmers, so I can't make any decisions at all.

"After all, I can't compare to you, my sister. You can be the head of Xue's family and run errands for Wang's family. You are really capable!

"Since you want to be a middleman, why not go directly and ask the head of the Jia family, my father-in-law, Master Jia."

After saying that, he actually bowed, turned around and left without saying another word!

——I can’t beat you in a fight, so I won’t fight you! If I can’t afford to offend you, can’t I just avoid you?

Aren't you awesome? Come on, show me how awesome you are! Why don't you show off in front of the real boss?

I can't handle the Jia and Wang families' affairs. You can, so go ahead!
