Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 255: Aunt is Naturally Confident

Following Mrs. Wang's instructions, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai walked into the main hall under the guidance of the maid.

Aunt Xue greeted Mrs. Wang with a smile on her face, "Sister, you have been busy so early in the morning. You must have worked hard."

Mrs. Wang also seemed to be relieved and said to her sister,

"It's Baoyu's maid. She went home yesterday and came back early this morning. She came here first to report that she is safe."

Aunt Xue followed up the topic and said, "This girl is quite sensible."

Xue Baochai, however, acted out of character and lowered her head in deep thought. She had already caught a glimpse of Xiren's figure from the window.

She knew that ordinary maids were not qualified to come and pay respects early in the morning.

It seems that Xiren is going to have to cross the clear road.

Thinking of this, she continued, "Speaking of maids, when it comes to knowledge, Brother Bao's is much better than Sister Lin's."

When Mrs. Wang heard Xue Baochai mention Lin Daiyu in her first sentence, she felt unhappy, but her knot was about to be resolved, and there was no need for her to argue with them.

But we can't condone it.

"Do you know all the maids at your sister Lin's place?"

"It seems that you have a good relationship!" Mrs. Wang said with a hint of warning in her tone.

Xue Baochai pinched the handkerchief in her hand and said, "Aunt, you are wrongly accusing me."

"I have barely met Miss Lin, how can I really know her?"

"It's just that I've been hearing my brother talk about it these past two days, so I've naturally taken it to heart."

Mrs. Wang glanced at Aunt Xue sharply, "What's going on?"

Aunt Xue glanced at Xue Baochai and saw that her face was calm and she didn't even look at her.

Aunt Xue looked embarrassed and complained to Mrs. Wang in a choked voice:

"Sister, I shouldn't bother you with this matter, but you know my evildoer. He has fallen in love with Lin Daiyu's maid again."

"He wanted to welcome her home so badly. In order to save that maid, he is now, now..."

At this point, Aunt Xue thought of her son's miserable condition and burst into tears.

"He was injured by the Lin family's eagle, and now his face is completely disfigured."

"How can this be possible?" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang's Buddhist beads in her hand shook violently, making a dull sound.

"For a maid, you ruined a man. Sister, I think you are going backwards as you grow older."

"And who is Lin Daiyu's maid? Xueyan?"

"Or Zijuan?"

"Not that attractive, right?"

Aunt Xue was speechless for a moment. She didn't know what to call her, so she stammered and didn't know how to answer.

At this time, Xue Baochai said calmly, "Aunt, it doesn't matter which maidservant it is. What matters is the reputation of the Wang and Jia families."

"My brother was with elder brother Zhen at the time, as well as Wang Ren from the Wang family. You'll know after you ask, aunt."

"She knew it was Wang's family, but she was still so shameless. As the saying goes, don't hit people in the face. My brother's face has been beaten so badly that it's horrible to look at."

Having said this, Xue Baochai wiped the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Mrs. Wang's anger burned fiercely, "Really? It seems that my Wang family has indeed been dormant for too long."

"It's no longer seen by others."

"A maid thinks she is such a valuable dish that she has forgotten how it felt to be planted in a cesspool."

Aunt Xue's eyes flashed with surprise, and she looked at Mrs. Wang with a pleading voice.

"Sister! What do you think we should do?"

"We are now orphans and widows, there is really nothing we can do."

"Otherwise I wouldn't bother you."

Madam Wang looked at her sister and said, "You and I are sisters, there is no room for negotiation."

"Go back and find out who this girl is. She's so attractive. I want to meet her, too!"

"As expected, like master, like servant. If the master is shameless and shows up in public, the maid can seduce people everywhere."

"Only a nephew like me can subdue such a person."

At this point, she turned to comfort Aunt Xue, "You don't have to worry. I'll arrange things today, and we'll go to my brother's place tomorrow."

"If it is possible for our Wang family to make further progress, your son might be able to get a better match."

Having said this, she looked at Xue Baochai meaningfully.

Aunt Xue was shocked when Mrs. Wang said this. How could it be faster than she thought?

"Sister, hasn't my brother returned to Beijing yet?"

"Is it not okay to tell my sister-in-law about this?"

Mrs. Wang squeezed the Buddhist beads in her hand and replied,

"Don't worry about this matter. I will make the decision."

Xue Baochai rolled her eyes.

"Aunt, thank you. Your kindness will never be forgotten by my brother and I."

Aunt Xue opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but Xue Baochai secretly supported her, "Mother, there is no need for us to tell you, Aunt Xue is fully prepared."

Aunt Xue was stunned by what she said. She looked at Madam Wang in confusion, "Sister, what are you going to do?"

"How do you need us to cooperate?"

At this time, the Buddhist beads in Mrs. Wang's hand gently rotated.

"Don't worry about this. I will discuss this matter with my brother."

"The inner and outer houses are inseparable, and I just happen to have something to do."

"If my business is done, this is a small matter for you, and you can do it easily."

"If I can't accomplish my mission, you can stop dreaming."

"Maybe I should be a little humble too."

"Of course I can't take care of you."

Mrs. Wang looked at the sky outside the door and said to herself, I hope God bless my Wang family.

It's rare that the snow falls so slowly!

At this time, the maid brought over tea. Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai drank two sips of tea. Seeing that more people wanted to see them, they said goodbye and left.

At this time, Mrs. Wang said casually, "Sister, don't leave in a hurry. I will tell you about these things later. You can go with me to the old lady!"

"By the way, tell the old lady about going back to her parents' home tomorrow."

Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai naturally retreated to the small hall to wait.

As soon as they entered the small hall, Aunt Xue grabbed Xue Baochai and

"My son, why did you let me ask you just now?"

"We haven't even talked about pretending to be a robber yet!"

Xue Baochai smiled helplessly at her mother, "Mother, didn't you see it?"

"My aunt is more anxious about this than any of us."

"And will we be able to see uncle tomorrow?"

Aunt Xue said directly: "Of course not. Your uncle hasn't come home yet, how can we meet him?"

Xue Baochai stared at the carvings on the window frame and said,

"mother."

"I bet we can see my uncle tomorrow if we go with my aunt."

Hearing this, Aunt Xue was stunned on the spot, "Baochai, do you know what you are talking about?"

"Can your uncle fly back immediately?"

Xue Baochai smiled sarcastically, "Mother, why can't you change your thinking?"

Aunt Xue asked doubtfully, "What idea?"

Xue Baochai said coldly, "Mother, a pitiful idea is that uncle may come back."

“But not everyone knows that.”

"Only the closest relatives can know, and we may not be among them."

Aunt Xue shook her head and said, "This... is impossible. Then who am I?"
