Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 551 I can’t help myself
Caixia took Xiren to Mrs. Wang's yard, and then she asked Xiren to wait outside while she went in to report back.

After a while, Caixia came out again and took Xiren into the room.

The attacker entered the main room, took a quick look, and saw Aunt Liu sitting under Mrs. Wang.

Xiren had met this popular nanny in Prince Wu's residence once or twice. Now that he saw her sitting there, he knew that it was her who was responsible for today's affairs.

Xiren knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang looked at Xi Ren who was kneeling below, feeling a pang of regret in her heart.

This girl was originally left to Baoyu, but Baoyu is now locked in with this girl. He has no choice but to let the girl leave. He can't let his Baoyu be wronged, right?
"Xiren, you've been here for a few years, and I'm really reluctant to leave this time. But you're getting older and you're going to have a family. It's inevitable."

When she said this, Mrs. Wang wiped away her tears a few times.

Then Mrs. Wang ordered Caixia to take out a package from inside.

"You have left our house after all. Now you are going to get married. I have prepared a dowry for you. You can take it with you."

Xiren's eyes were red after hearing this, but he held back his tears and knelt forward a few steps, taking the package from Caixia's hand.

Seeing that the explanation was almost complete, Grandma Liu stood up and said with a smile:

"Madam, we have a lot of things to do in the palace, so we won't delay here. I will take Miss Xiren back first."

Mrs. Wang nodded, covered her face with a handkerchief, and waved with her hand.

Only then did Aunt Liu come to Xi Ren's side, help her up personally, and then said with a smile:

"Miss Xiren, you are lucky. The boy from Wu Wang's family is a servant of our palace. If you follow him, you will have endless food and drinks in your life."

Xiren is a smart girl, knowing that her fate is irreversible, so she naturally follows Aunt Liu's words and says:
"Please take care of me from now on."

Aunt Liu was very satisfied when she saw that Xiren was not as arrogant as the other maids in Rongguo Mansion. Then she wished Mrs. Wang blessings again and left with Xiren.

After Xi Ren left, Mrs. Wang sighed, and then said: "Baoyu's place is short of a big maid, why don't you go and take Xi Ren's place."

Caixia's expression changed drastically after hearing Mrs. Wang's words.

This girl Caixia has a very good reputation in Rongguo Mansion, and she is also the most useful one around Mrs. Wang.

But she has a fatal weakness, that is, she falls in love with the concubine Jia Huan.

This matter is not a secret, and Mrs. Wang naturally knows it.

If Caixia was a stupid girl, Mrs. Wang wouldn't care. Unfortunately, Caixia was smart and capable. If she really became Jia Huan's concubine, Aunt Zhao would have an arm.

Moreover, this arm also knows everything about Mrs. Wang, which is a huge threat to Mrs. Wang.

Therefore, Mrs. Wang planned to take advantage of the fact that the attacker was taken away, and simply asked Caixia to go to Jia Baoyu's place.

This left no possibility for her and Jia Huan.

But Caixia was really stubborn. She knelt there and gritted her teeth and said, "Madam, I want to serve you all my life, and I don't want to go to the second master's place."

Mrs. Wang looked at Caixia and shook her head gently. She originally wanted to give her a chance, but she didn't know how to grasp it.

"Since you don't want to, then let it go," Mrs. Wang said with a satisfied smile on her face.

Caixia thought that Mrs. Wang was just testing her, so she breathed a long sigh of relief and then respectfully withdrew.

Besides, Mother Liu left Rongguo Mansion with Xiren and returned to Prince Wu's Mansion. She first led the attacker to the old lady's yard. "Wait here for a moment, I'll go in and get back to the old concubine." Aunt Liu told the attacker.

Xiren naturally agreed obediently.

Aunt Liu entered the main room and saw Mrs. Wang playing leaf cards with a few familiar maids and nannies.

But her luck was not good today. The copper coins piled in front of her had now gone into the pockets of several other people.

Mrs. Wang doesn't care about this. Her family doesn't have much else but money.

Aunt Liu carefully came to Mrs. Wang's side, and then said softly: "Old concubine, the attacker has been brought back."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang immediately threw the cards in her hand on the table, "That's it for today, you should divide the remaining money."

"Thank you, old lady, for the reward."

Several maids and nuns quickly knelt down and thanked them, then put the money in their pockets and went down.

At this time, Mrs. Wang returned to the kang in front of the window, and then took a sip of the fragrant tea brought by the maid.

"Bring it in and let me take a look."

With Mrs. Wang's words, Nanny Liu dared to go out and bring the attacker in.

After entering the main room, Xiren quietly looked around, and was quite surprised by this sight.

Initially, Xiren didn't think this place was any better than Rongguo Mansion, but when he entered the house, he discovered the essential difference between the two houses.

I only saw that most of the supplies in the house came from the palace's office. Even the cup Mrs. Wang used to drink tea was a tribute from the palace.

What makes people feel even more different is that the cup is actually bright yellow, with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes on it.

If you put this in other places, it would be a huge overstep, disrespectful, and it would make you lose your head.

But it seems to be commonplace here. Whether it is the maid serving below or Mrs. Wang using the cup, it seems to be normal.

Xiren followed Granny Liu into the house and knelt down from a distance.

Mrs. Wang looked down and found that Xiren was still as gentle and sweet as she had seen him back then.

Mrs. Wang still liked Xiren very much, but it was a pity that her reputation was ruined by Jia Baoyu. Otherwise, it would be appropriate to be her grandson's concubine.

"Get up quickly."

With Mrs. Wang's words, Xiren dared to stand up from the ground, and then stood far away, as if he was a little at a loss.

Mrs. Wang had a soft smile on her face, "I've heard everything about you in Rongguo Mansion. It's not sweet to force yourself. Since people don't want to, you just get close to them. Not only will you not get good things, but you will also offend them. dislike."

After listening to Mrs. Wang's words, Xiren felt warm in his heart and his eye circles began to turn red.

Since Jia Baoyu disliked her, many of her previous friends stopped coming to her. In Yihong Courtyard, she would stay alone in the house almost every day, afraid of going out to annoy others.

"Mama Liu, take Xi Ren to the princess and tell her my decision." Mrs. Wang said to Mammy Liu.

Aunt Liu nodded quickly, and then took Xiren out again.

The group of people walked through the building and courtyard, and soon arrived in front of Xue Baochai's courtyard.
