After the Lin Manor banquet ended, Jia Xuan followed Lin Ruhai to send off the guests and returned to the Dao Manor. Only the Rong Manor's people were left to drink tea.
" Thank you for your trouble today," Lin Ruhai said politely.
"Brother-in-law, you're too polite. We're all relatives.”Jia She and Jia Zheng said simultaneously.
"Ruhai, do you agree with what Min 'er said about the two Yu' Er?”Grandmother Jia suddenly asked.
Jia Xuan's face darkened when he heard this. Madam Wang was the same. She was afraid that Lin Ruhai would agree and ruin her plans." Old Madam, shouldn't you inform the Imperial Concubine in the Palace about this matter and listen to her opinion?”Madam Wang interjected.
Grandmother Jia was so angry that she almost cursed. She was helping her son find a wife, and as a mother, she was actually dragging him down. "I'll make the decision on this matter. There's no place for you to speak.”Then, he looked at Lin Ruhai to see what he had to say.
" Min 'er did mention this to me back then, but that was because the child was still young. She said that she would talk about it later," Lin Ruhai said, then continued," But now that Yu' er has been conferred the title of county head, she has to ask His Majesty about her marriage."”
"Brother-in-law, why are you hiding it, mother! Let me say it now. The Lin girl has long been engaged to Brother Xuan. His Majesty also knows about this.”Jia She actually said it out loud.
Jia Xuan gave Jia She a thumbs up, and Jia She returned a smug smile. Lin Ruhai was so angry that he wanted to slap Jia She.
When Grandmother Jia heard this, her eyes rolled back and she fainted. Everyone quickly pinched her head and head. It took a while for Grandmother Jia to recover.
"Ru Hai, is this true? As she spoke, tears fell." Grandmother Jia was really sad.
It was all his son's rashness that made his mother sad. Jia She knelt at the side and said. Grandmother Jia ignored him and just stared at Lin Ruhai, hoping to hear that this wasn't true.
Lin Ruhai could only nod helplessly, indicating that this was true. Grandmother Jia's eyes rolled back and she fainted. Everyone was in a flurry again before they managed to wake Grandmother Jia up.
"Lin Ruhai, you're not letting my dead Min 'er down. She only had this little last wish, and you can't even fulfill it?”Grandmother Jia was trembling with anger.
"Old Lady, Min Er only mentioned it briefly at that time and didn't have any intention of making a decision. How can you say that?”Lin Ruhai refused to give way. This involved his daughter's reputation, so Lin Ruhai would never compromise.
" You!..." Grandmother Jia was so angry that she pointed at Lin Ruhai and couldn't say anything. Yes, this was only what she and Min 'er had mentioned in the letter. She couldn't bring it over. As evidence.
"In that case, why didn't you write to me?”Grandmother Jia was a little aggressive.
"Old Lady, after discussing it with my eldest brother-in-law, I was afraid that you would be sad, so we decided to hide this matter for now and slowly tell you in the future.”Lin Ruhai was furious at this time and decided to drag Jia She down with him.
As expected, Grandmother Jia heard about this matter and Jia She's matter." You evil creature, how dare you do such a thing behind my back?"”Grandmother Jia said angrily.
"Ru Hai, since you know what I'm thinking, why did you do such a thing?”
"Old Lady, if it wasn't for Brother Xuan in Yangzhou, I would have died long ago. Moreover, the two of them had a relationship, so how could I not be complete? The old lady also has children, so she can understand my kind father's heart.”Lin Ruhai said.
Grandmother Jia was also shocked when she heard this. "Why is it so dangerous?"
"Old Lady, there are some things that I didn't want to say. If it wasn't for Brother Xuan's cautiousness and the fact that he had discovered Min 'er's room attendant acting suspiciously, Ru Hai would have been a skeleton in a coffin by now. What would happen if Yu 'Er was left alone?”Lin Ruhai said sadly.
"Min 'er's escort?" Grandmother Jia was shocked. Madam Wang, who was at the side, said somewhat unnaturally," Did you get bribed or threatened by someone?"”
When Lin Ruhai saw Madam Wang, he came to her door without any hesitation." Then we'll have to ask her second aunt how she sent Granny Wang's family to the Zhen family in Jiangnan."”
When Grandmother Jia heard that Madam Wang was involved, she looked at her coldly." Tell me, what's going on?”
"Old Lady, the Zhen family in Jiangnan came to ask for Granny Wang and her family. My wife thought that they were all old relatives and that it was no big deal to have a family of servants, so she gave them to them.”Madam Wang said.
"Foolish!" Grandmother Jia said angrily," Why didn't you ask me? You almost harmed Ru Hai." Grandmother Jia also knew that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. However, now that Lady Wang's daughter was the Imperial Concubine, she could not delve into this matter. Otherwise, not only would the Jia family become a joke, but it would also hurt the Imperial Concubine in the Palace.
"Yes, wife knows her mistake." Although the old madam was respectful on the surface, she was very proud in her heart. So what if you know? You can't do anything to me.
Grandmother Jia thought to herself, No wonder Lin Daiyu and Jia Xuan were so quickly engaged. Who could marry their daughter into a family that wanted to kill them? Grandmother Jia was also mentally exhausted.
"Since the matter has already been decided, I wonder when you plan to get engaged to Yu 'Er.”Grandmother Jia asked helplessly.
"But there's no hurry. Yu 'Er is still young. We'll talk about it after a few years." Lin Ruhai said.
After such an incident, Grandmother Jia was too ashamed to stay here any longer. She took Jia She and Jia Zheng back. She only instructed that no one should mention Daiyu to Baoyu. After a long time, the two of them would slowly fade away. It could be said that Grandmother Jia had come happily but returned in disappointment. The happiest person here was none other than Madam Wang. A huge rock in her heart had finally been lifted. When Baoyu married Baochai, all the wealth of the Xue family would belong to Baoyu.
After Grandmother Jia left the Lin residence, she said," I've taken advantage of you this time. Hmph! He didn't expect his brother-in-law to be so impatient.”
"That's good too, so that my sister won't be pestered by Baoyu.”Jia Xuan laughed.
"Bah! What are you, Hu Qin? Who's being pestered?" Daiyu raised her eyebrows.
"Why aren't you going back to your home?”Lin Ruhai said with a dark face.
Amidst Lin Daiyu's laughter, Jia Xuan returned to his own Northern Zhenbei Manor.
"Third Master is back." Jian Mei greeted him.
"Hmm, are they still with those two fools?”Jia Xuan asked.
After confirming with Jianmei, Jia Xuan went straight to the bamboo forest. Before he arrived, he heard the laughter of Fried Bean and the others. When he got closer to take a look, he saw that it was fried beans. Fang Fang had pressed them onto the ground and they could not get up. Xiang Ling and Er Xiao couldn't budge him no matter how hard they tried. Meanwhile, Fried Bean was still smiling heartlessly. There were also a few little girls surrounding him and laughing.
