The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 248: Qingwen was given away (Part )
"Please forgive me, old lady! We don't understand these things either. We just thought Qingwen was pretty and smart, so we sent her to serve you!"

Mrs. Wang brought Ma Dao Po over, and as luck would have it, Mr. Lai was also in Rongqing Hall.

When Ma Dao Po finished speaking to Mrs. Wang, she could not wait to kneel down and plead guilty.

"Really?" Grandmother Jia looked at Mrs. Wang doubtfully.

The Lai family was her confidant, and Qingwen was sent by the Lai family. Grandmother Jia couldn't help but suspect that Mrs. Wang was trying to sow discord between the master and the servant.

Before Mrs. Wang could say anything, Lai Dajie spoke up again.

"My dear ancestor, what the old immortal said just now reminded me of it. Last time, she was shaking her head and coming out from the madam's place. I happened to see her. At that time, I was curious and asked her a question. But when she said it was about some disease or disaster, I just thought..."

There is no need to say the rest of the words. It is nothing more than suspecting that Ma Dao Po was exaggerating and trying to cheat some money.

"It is better to believe it than not to believe it!" Mrs. Wang added at the right time, "Last time Baoyu and Feng were sick, the monk and Taoist priest who treated Baoyu said the same thing as the old immortal."

Grandmother Jia would never have thought that the Lai family would cooperate with Mrs. Wang and even go so far as to throw dirty water on their own family.

Although Mrs. Wang was still in the dark, at least they had the same goal.

Thanks to everyone's confirmation, she no longer had any doubts and hurriedly said, "Quick! Go and ask that girl to move out of Baoyu's room!"

“Madam, I’m afraid it won’t work just to move her out!” Before Lady Jia could tell anyone to pass on the message, Ma Dao Po suddenly spoke up, “If I had asked that girl to move out last time, it wouldn’t have been a problem. But now the Peach Blossom Evil has been triggered…”

Having said this, Ma Dao Po paused for a moment, pondered for a long time, and then said, "Even if we drive them out of the mansion, it may not be effective immediately."

"Hiss..." Grandmother Jia and Mrs. Wang looked frightened and took a deep breath.

"What if there is someone keeping us in check?" Lai Dajie asked suddenly.

"Yeah!"

This remark awakened the dreamer, and Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang hurriedly echoed it.

“Oh! Suppress it?” Ma Dao Po sneered, “This Peach Blossom Evil is quite strange. Once triggered, there are many restrictions on its transfer. We need to find someone with a better fate than Baoyu. It is unlikely to suppress it!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang looked at each other, and there was a sudden silence in the room.

Ma Dao Po also didn't understand why Lai Da went to such lengths to force her to insist that the Peach Blossom Evil could not be suppressed but could only be transferred.

However, Lai Da was very generous, and she suspected that Lai Da had approached her at the behest of Zhang Yunyi, so she did not dare to object and had to follow his plan.

Lai Dajie saw that Lady Jia's eyes drifted towards him, and he hesitated to say, "What do you think of Master Yi of the East Palace? Compared with Baoyu's fortune?"

"Of course!" Seeing that they were finally talking about the main topic, Ma Dao Po couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "Although Baoyu is blessed with great fortune, that Master Yi was able to revive the late emperor and has the fate of an immortal. Baoyu is a little worse than him."

She paused, and continued, "Actually, if there is any relevance to this Peach Blossom Evil, it depends on the person. Take this incident for example, if it happened to Baoyu, he would be beaten with a stick, but if it happened to some other people, maybe they would just have an extra wife or concubine, or some gossip, which is nothing more than the little things between men and women."

After she said this, Mrs. Wang felt relieved.

But Grandmother Jia's heart was moved, she lowered her brows and eyes and fell into deep thought.

Ever since Lai Dajie mentioned the suppression, she thought of Xiangling's past.

Even though Ma Dao Po later said that it could not be resolved and could only be transferred, this idea was not dispelled.

Yuanchun's marriage seemed to have fallen on deaf ears. As a close minister to the emperor, Zhang Yunyi participated in the drawing and construction of the Grand View Garden. Jia's mother didn't believe it, and he didn't notice anything about it.

But he didn't say a word.

In Jia's grandmother's opinion, there are only two reasons.

First, he was influenced by Jia Zheng's attitude and had a rift with the government. Second, it was not legitimate and the matter concerned the royal family, so it was not something an outsider could comment on casually.

But if he became the son-in-law of Rongfu and Yuanchun became his sister-in-law, these two problems would be easily solved.

When she heard that it could help Zhang Yunyi attract romantic interests, she was not offended at all. Instead, she became more determined to do so.

However, although the idea is good, it is still quite difficult to implement it.

Mrs. Wang could be ignored, as she thought she would not oppose herself on the issue of Jia Baoyu. However, she could not say anything in front of Ma Dao Po and Lai Dajie.

She saw how Lai Dajie seemed to be hesitant to speak just now.

Considering that Zhang Yun逸 had helped her son, Grandmother Jia had to be cautious.

However, these are not big problems. Ma Dao Po and Zhang Yunyi are not related, and the Lai family is all in the mansion. As long as the work is done properly, these problems can be easily solved.

But the difficulty lies in Zhang Yun逸 himself.

The problems that Ma Dao Po could see, Zhang Yun逸 might also be able to see the problems with Qingwen.

Just when she was in a dilemma, Lai Dajie suddenly said, "I have an idea. Let's give it a try!"

"Tell me about it!" Jia's mother's eyelids twitched, and she said calmly.

"Mrs. Zhen of the East Palace is from a small family, and the people she trained are not as thorough as those trained by the old lady and the madam. Before, Master Yi rescued Jin Chuan and said that there was no capable person in the house to serve her, so he asked the madam for Jin Chuan. The old lady might as well use this as an excuse to send Qingwen over."

She paused, and continued, "With Master Yi's ability, he must be able to see something. Since the old immortal also said that the peach blossom evil spirit varies from person to person, if he is willing to accept it, then it won't matter much. If he is not willing, then the old lady can just find someone else to send it to..."

After hearing half of what was said, Lady Jia understood what he meant, but she remained calm. She waited until Lai Dajie had finished speaking before she looked at Ma Dao Po with an inquiring expression.

Ma Dao Po was also a person who knew how to read people's expressions. She said hurriedly, "Since I am Baoyu's godmother, I always hope that he can turn misfortune into fortune!"

Mrs. Wang seemed to be hesitant to speak, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Grandmother Jia ignored her and patted the armrest of the bed, saying, "That's it! Qingwen was originally sent to the mansion by your mother-in-law, so I'll leave this matter to you!"

She immediately gave orders, "Baoyu has just been beaten, so the Second Madam should go there in person and send the old immortal off at the same time."

As he spoke, he nodded at Yuanyang, who immediately took out a bag of silver and handed it to Ma Dao Po.

Grandmother Jia smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble. It's just a small token of my respect!"

Ma Dao Po weighed the bundle in her hand and said with a smile, "Of course! Of course!"

She couldn't help feeling a little dazed. In the past, she came to the mansion to beg for money, and scraped together only 10 or 20 taels of silver for tea.

Now, working for Zhang Yun逸, not only was he paid more than a thousand taels of silver, but he was also treated like a distinguished guest.

The old ladies, the wives and the housekeeper in the mansion all rushed to give it to him.

Feeling the gap between them, he felt even more in awe of Zhang Yunyi.

After the two of them left, Grandmother Jia said in a very secretive way: "What should be said and what should not be said..."

"Don't worry, old lady!" Before she could finish her words, Lai Dajie bowed and said, "Although Master Yi promoted Shang Rong, it was because of your kindness. I know the importance of the kindness the mansion has shown to our family for several lifetimes!"

"Hmm!" Grandmother Jia nodded heavily, and looked at Lai Dajie with a look of satisfaction, praising: "You are very good, and thoughtful!"
