Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 227 Let’s join forces!

"Aren't you okay now?" Jia Min said helplessly to Mrs. Xing.

Mrs. Xing still held Jia Min's hand tightly and explained with difficulty,

"Nothing serious ever happens here. These people have their dignity and won't do anything themselves. Your eldest brother is not good enough."

"He beat people regardless of gender, and injured people regardless of age."

“That’s the point.”

Jia Min looked at Mrs. Xing innocently and said, “You also know that’s my eldest brother.”

You're almost calling him a beast.

Besides, he hurts people regardless of gender. Can it help if I go there?

I can’t beat him either!

Jia Min was very distressed. She said directly to Mrs. Xing, "Sister-in-law, he is injured and can't get up."

"Now he is afraid of you, not you afraid of him."

"Didn't I tell you that even if he gets better, he's still lame and can't catch up with you."

Jia Min patiently explained to Mrs. Xing.

"You don't understand. Just come with me and you'll know when you get there." Mrs. Xing was still stubborn and refused to give in.

How can others see through my damn kindness?

There are so many people standing here, why can you tell at first glance that I am easy to talk to? Do I have a face that looks like a compassionate Bodhisattva?

While complaining, Jia Min was pulled forward by Mrs. Xing. They walked one in front and one behind, and they looked very close.

People passing by kept looking back and wondered when did Mrs. Xing become so close to me?

……

"Here we are, and you see my eldest brother hasn't woken up yet?"

"Sister-in-law, I really can't help you anymore, so I'm leaving."

When Jia Min followed Lady Xing to Jia She's room, she saw that Jia She was still in a coma. Jia Lian and several of the maids who were serving him looked at them in surprise.

Salute hurriedly.

But Mrs. Xing ignored her and walked right past Jia She's bed and took Jia Min to another room.

This was her own room. After entering the room, Mrs. Xing closed the door before letting go of her hand.

He sat down on the couch and said, "I'm so tired!"

"Auntie, please don't leave in a hurry. I am sorry for what happened today. I really have no other choice."

"I bowed to you, or should I kowtow to you?"

As Mrs. Xing was about to kneel on the ground, Jia Min grabbed her and said with a frown,

"Alright, alright, don't do this anymore. I'm not doing this for your sake."

"If you have nothing else to say, I will leave."

Mrs. Xing said mysteriously, "Aunt, I have nothing to repay you for, and you don't even look down on me."

"But I think we can join forces."

"I can help you as an insider."

"how do you feel?"

Jia Min was amused by Mrs. Xing and laughed, "Sister-in-law, this is my mother's home."

"My brother and mother are here, you will be my insider."

"I don't need it. Thank you in advance."

Mrs. Xing's face turned serious. "Aunt, do you want to marry your daughter to that Baoyu?"

Jia Min was stunned, "What a huge injustice!"

"Nothing."

Mrs. Xing continued, "That means the old lady and the second master want Baoyu to marry your daughter."

Jia Min didn't want to leave. She had to explain this matter clearly. Her daughter couldn't be talked about like this all the time.

So Jia Min said to Mrs. Xing angrily,

"Sister-in-law, you can't say this casually."

"The children are still young, it's not appropriate to say this!"

Jia Min herself was very annoyed by these things. She had also been a victim. She was young and ignorant, and her relatives always made up rumors.

"Look, Auntie, you can use me now. I can pass on any news to you."

"You are afraid of nonsense, but Baoyu is not afraid, especially since Mrs. Wang will add fuel to the flames of such talk."

"If the empress finally grants the marriage, it will be like a sticking plaster that can't be shaken off." Mrs. Xing said confidently, as if she had some exclusive information.

Jia Min's heart shuddered. Could it be that her second brother and his wife really allowed people to gossip about her?

So what happened to my daughter after she was passed around by them?

Is it really true that she is forcing her daughter to marry Baoyu?

"Why?" Jia Min looked at Mrs. Xing and asked, hoping to get an answer.

Mrs. Xing raised her lips in a sarcastic smile, "For what? Money!"

"I love money, but I love it openly and honestly. I'm not like some people who are hypocritical and pretend to be noble because they love money in their hearts."

At this point, she saw Jia Min still looked incredulous. This sister-in-law was too naive.

I hope it's not a false righteousness.

Mrs. Xing continued to explain to Jia Min, "When your daughter marries in, she will naturally bring a dowry."

"It must be a considerable dowry!"

"At least the borrowed money can be waived!"

Mrs. Xing saw that Jia Min's face was gradually turning pale.

She continued to exaggerate.

"Don't think that I have been a decoration for so many years, but I am a human being after all."

"You'll understand more after you see it more."

"It's just that I'm not as smart as them."

"Look at Mrs. Wang's sister. She's not afraid of what people say. She's lived here for several years."

"They have been secretly connected for a long time. They want to get dowries from both families for their son."

"You have a big appetite."

Jia Min's eyes widened in shock and she looked at Madam Xing, "What did you say? Say it again."

Madam Xing took off the crown on her head and said, "You are the only one who can't see clearly."

"Just wait and see. The second brother and his wife not only want to take your daughter's dowry, but also want the Xue family's money."

"Kill two birds with one stone. Who can help me get the unicorn egg?"

"Look, Shi Xiangyun, the maid of the Shi family, used to live here when she was little. There aren't that many of them now. If you think about it carefully, you will know that the Shi family must not be able to give much dowry."

"If there isn't much dowry, it's not worth the trouble!"

At this point, Mrs. Xing thought she had found Jia Min's weakness and continued to dig deeper.

"How about it, aunt, we can cooperate!"

"In this Jia family, you have no choice but to cooperate with me. I have no children, so I just want a little wealth and then die of old age."

Although Jia Min did not believe that Jia Zheng and Wang Fu-ren would do such a thing, she also felt that her mother would not do such a thing.

But this kind of thing is always a possibility. If something happens, what should I do with my daughter?

In this way, it is not difficult to cooperate with Mrs. Xing, although she may not necessarily participate in these decisions.

But it is still possible to get some information by picking up any small changes.

It seems that I should try to take my daughter back to my parents' home less often in the future.

Thinking of this, Jia Min gave Mrs. Xing a positive answer.

"Sister-in-law, I agree."

Mrs. Xing smiled happily, "That's right, if my aunt hears that I'm in trouble, she will spare no effort to save me."

"Of course, if I am in power one day, I will definitely be able to pay you back your money."

"I don't have any other skills, but I have a trick for saving money."

Jia Min nodded and was about to speak when she heard Jia She's angry voice coming from outside.

"Ah! Where's Xing? Is she dead?"

Are you awake?
