Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 165 With my methods, I can kill at least 2 people

Miaoyu left in a daze.

When Aunt Meng came back and heard that Miaoyu was in low spirits, she sighed and asked Daiyu, "I did say a few good words for her.

"But from what Dai Xiang said, the Supreme Lord didn't want to see her at all. He just wanted her to continue copying the scriptures."

Daiyu remained silent for a while, and then ordered people to make more soup for Miaoyu in the next two days, as she was afraid that she would not be able to swallow hard food.

The next morning, Daiyu sent someone to ask Miaoyu, and found out that she had not eaten or drunk anything. Daiyu and Aunt Meng looked at each other, and Aunt Meng spoke first: "It's only a day or two, it's okay."

Daiyu sighed: "Forget it, let her take it easy first."

When breakfast was served, the two felt that their appetites were not very good, so they each drank two mouthfuls of porridge and put it down.

Seeing this, Qingwen thought for a moment and said, "I heard there was a big commotion at Rong Mansion yesterday. Miss, please send me over in a couple of days so I can listen carefully to what happened."

Daiyu was stunned: "What are they making a fuss about?"

"It was Second Master Lian who secretly persuaded Old Lady You to believe him and took Second Sister You as his second wife. Second Madam Lian took her back to the mansion..."

Just as Qingwen said this, Daiyu lost her grip on the tea bowl, which fell to the ground with a clang and broke into pieces.

The room fell silent.

Daiyu looked straight at Qingwen: "You said Sister Feng took Sister You back? What about Brother Lian? Did he go to Ping'an Prefecture?"

"How do you know that Mr. Lian went to Ping'an Prefecture recently?" Qingwen looked at Daiyu curiously, "But he has returned and is at home."

Daiyu's heart was beating even more, and she said, "Go on."

"Aren't you still in mourning for the Second Madam? When the old lady heard that Second Master Lian had married Second Sister You for more than a month, she was so angry that she couldn't get out of bed for several days.

"The eldest master was so angry that he beat the second master Lian so hard that he couldn't move. But when the second master Lian returned to his room, he took advantage of the moment when the second mistress Lian was not around and smashed the medicine bowl and the Ruyi on Sister Ping'er's head.

"I heard that Ping'er's eyes were nearly blinded! Her face was covered in blood! The Second Mistress was angry and asked Ping'er to recover from her injuries while she went to take care of the old lady. In the second courtyard, it was actually You Erjie and the two newly-appointed concubines of the first wives who took charge!"

Qingwen spoke with indignation.

Suddenly, someone outside laughed, "What do you mean by being the boss? You're just making trouble!"

It was Wang Xifeng who came in through the curtain with a smile on her face. She pointed at Qingwen and said with a smile, "I caught you gossiping about me behind my back!"

Qingwen's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.

Daiyu, however, was calm and composed. She just waved her hand to let Qingwen go. "Who doesn't talk behind others' backs? Who doesn't talk behind others' backs? I was worried about you, so I asked her to tell me the news she heard.

"It's a good thing that you're here. Tell me what's going on. What are your plans?"

Wang Xifeng didn't seem to care at all. She just smiled and said to Zijuan, "Quick, bring me your good tea and good fruit! The food here is much better than what we have in our house now. I have to eat enough before I leave!"

"Already..." Daiyu blurted out two words, then stopped talking. She did not ask about the situation in the Jia Mansion, but only cared about Wang Xifeng's own affairs. "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

I asked someone to bring up a plate of newly-harvested lychees, and also to cut two cantaloupes and a plate of watermelons.

Wang Xifeng cried out in delight, and despite the damage to her nails, she refused to let the maid come forward and peeled the lychees and ate them herself.

Daiyu understood what was going on and asked all the maids to leave. Only Aunt Meng pretended not to hear and sat aside.

Wang Xifeng just pretended that Aunt Meng didn't exist. She peeled lychees and talked and laughed as she told the story.

It turns out that Wang Xifeng did not leave the entire yard to You Erjie, Qiu Tong and Qiu Gui to deal with.

Instead, he told You Erjie that it was because of her that Lady Jia fell ill, and it was because of her that Jia She beat Jia Lian.

So, she asked You Erjie to hide and sent Qiu Tong and Qiu Gui to take care of Jia Lian's injuries.

But that afternoon, after she had arranged for Lady Jia to take medicine and rest, she wanted to go back to the main room to get some things. As soon as she reached the main room door, she saw a group of maids and servants in the courtyard, under the shade of the trees, etc., hiding far away from the room.

"Wait for me to go in, hehe..." When she said this, Wang Xifeng squeezed her hands, pinched the lychee flesh and skin tightly, covered her eyes with the back of her hands, and burst into tears!

It's so unbearable.

Daiyu looked at Wang Xifeng with mixed feelings. The strong woman in the past was now a talkative and domineering tyrant.

I wonder if she had ever cried bitterly like this in her previous life, behind people’s backs.

Daiyu silently picked out the rotten lychees in her hands and wiped her hands with her handkerchief.

Aunt Meng had already wrung out a wet towel from the basin and used it to wipe both of them.

"Sister Feng..."

Daiyu just opened her mouth when Wang Xifeng interrupted her with a forced smile: "It's okay!

"The old lady has long said that there is no cat in the world that doesn't steal food. I have seen so much in the world, don't I know that?

"Besides, you also told me that, apart from yourself, who else can you trust? I have never thought that Master Lian is my God!"

"So what are you going to do next?" Daiyu took the opportunity to ask the most important question.

Wang Xifeng was startled, and then she sat still, in a daze. After a long while, she gave a bitter smile, moved her eyeballs, and said with a smile: "If I had known, I would not have come to your place to eat fruit..."

Daiyu looked at her, held her hand, and gently advised: "Sister Feng, don't ruin yourself because of other people's mistakes..."

"You're right." Wang Xifeng laughed at herself, a murderous look flashing in her eyes, "If we talk about it, I have already promoted three concubines. To put it bluntly, with Ping'er, who has some affection for my husband, it's four.

"With my skills, no matter how I deal with these four people, I can kill at least two of them."

Daiyu looked at her quietly, but applied gentle force with her hands.

Wang Xifeng looked up at her and smiled sadly: "But, what's the use?

"Today, if You Erjie is gone, tomorrow there might be Yan Erjie; today, if Qiu Tong and Qiu Gui are gone, tomorrow there might be Chun Tao and Chun Xing.

"Even if I am an executioner, I can't kill them all!

“Besides, why should I get blood on my hands just for a man who would happily drink the leftover water from his cousin and father?!

"I don't owe him Jia Lian!"

Daiyu let out a long breath, smiled sincerely, and shook Wang Xifeng's hand: "Sister Feng, well said!"

Aunt Meng was sitting in the back, a smile gradually spreading across her face. Hearing this, she clapped her hands and chuckled, "With money in hand and friends around, as long as you behave properly and sit upright, you can live a carefree life even without a husband."

Daiyu turned back and glared at her, then turned to Wang Xifeng and said, "Why not do as you told the old lady before and ask for an external appointment for Second Brother Lian.

"There are too many things at home, so it's hard to control him. Maybe he will be more restrained when he's outside. If he continues to make trouble, I can bury him with a shovel of dirt!"
