Chapter 311: Tongue-twisting stirs up trouble

Chapter 311: Tongue-twisting stirs up trouble (Part )
At that time, Lady Jia, Lady Wang, Aunt Xue and a group of sisters all came when they heard the news.

When Grandmother Jia saw Zijuan, her eyes blazed with anger, and she scolded, "You little bitch, what did you say to him?"

Zijuan quickly knelt down and repeated what she had just said to Xiren.

Xiren was afraid of getting into trouble, so she quickly evaded the question, saying, "I was afraid of causing trouble for the Second Master, so I ordered him not to mention the East Palace. But she..."

When they heard that Zhang Yun逸 was involved, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing how to start the conversation.

Lin Daiyu quickly stepped forward and said, "Zijuan didn't know the inside story. Even if she blurted out, it was unintentional..."

Who would have thought that just as he said this, the foolish and silly Baoyu suddenly shouted, "Sister, you can't go home. If you go, take me with you."

Everyone hurriedly asked about it, but Jia Baoyu just said to himself: "If my sister continues to avoid me, I will not live anymore!"

After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially Lady Jia, if Zhang Yun逸 really triggered her hysteria, how could she get married in the future?
When Aunt Xue and Baochai heard this, they looked at each other.

"I thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be just a joke." Grandmother Jia patted Jia Baoyu and said to Zijuan, "Your child is usually very smart and clever, and you know that he has a stupid nature. Why are you trying to coax him for no reason?"

Aunt Xue smiled and said, "I think this child must be getting old, and she is thinking that when the girl comes back, she can find a son-in-law as soon as possible!"

As soon as these words came out, Jia Baoyu, who had been in a daze just now, suddenly jumped up three feet high and said angrily: "If she wants to get married, she can get married. Why bother to urge her sister to go home?"

Zijuan's face turned pale upon hearing this, and she murmured, "I didn't! The young lady has been so kind to me that I will follow her even if I die. How could I urge her to go back?"

She said this from the bottom of her heart. If she had to choose between Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu, she would rather follow Lin Daiyu.

However, as a servant in the Rong Mansion, she had no choice.

Mrs. Wang glanced at her sister and immediately understood what she meant. She said hurriedly, "Madam, I think it's better to send Zijuan away, so that Baoyu won't be moved by the scene and cause any more trouble."

Lin Daiyu was hesitant to speak. After all, Zijuan was from the Rong family. If it was just Aunt Xue who asked, she could still help out.

But now that Mrs. Wang had spoken, she couldn't take the initiative.

Grandmother Jia glanced at Zijuan, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and then looked at Jia Baoyu who was no longer in danger. She shook her head and said, "It was just a joke. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, let's keep her for a while..."

Having said this, she looked at Lin Daiyu and asked, "What do you think?"

She knew very well why Zijuan did this, and this was also the reason why she assigned Zijuan to Lin Daiyu.

Now, Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang were singing the same tune, how could she not figure out their plans?

He simply saw some clues and wanted to get rid of Zijuan so that he could plan the so-called perfect match.

Poor my silly grandson, he can't tell loyalty from treachery, and is being used as a gun by others without even realizing it.

Lin Daiyu was worried about not being able to help Zijuan distinguish, so she quickly said, "What the old lady said is very true. Zijuan's granddaughter is used to it, so it's inevitable that she won't be used to it if someone else does."

Grandmother Jia then took Jia Baoyu in her arms and said, "Since your sister has said so, what do you think?"

"As long as my sister doesn't go home and doesn't avoid me in the future, I can have a grandchild!"

Originally, he was indeed stunned after hearing Zijuan's words, but making a scene and acting crazy and stupid was also his strong point.

When he saw Lady Jia and others coming, and knew that Xiren had gone to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, he suddenly decided to take the opportunity to bargain.

Aunt Xue hurriedly looked at her sister. Mrs. Wang shook her head slightly, but said, "Since the old lady said so, let's keep her for the time being and see what happens!" "Yes!" Grandmother Jia nodded.

Jia Baoyu, who was already mad, took advantage of the situation and said, "Since I have agreed to leave Zijuan behind, you can't avoid me anymore. It's just some fruit. I'll ask someone to buy some and send it to you later!"

Lin Daiyu couldn't refuse, so she had to agree.

Jia Baoyu immediately cheered.

Seeing that he was fine, Lin Daiyu took the opportunity to say goodbye.

She took Zijuan back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion and the inner room. She sat down heavily on the bed and said, "Let's see if you dare to talk nonsense next time!"

She is more intelligent than Bi Gan, so how could she not see why Zijuan spoke out of turn?

However, Zijuan had served him wholeheartedly for so many years, and she couldn't bear to watch him die without helping.

Zijuan fell to her knees with a thump, and said with remorse, "Miss! I deserve to die! I just wanted to follow you, I didn't mean to do anything bad!"

Lin Daiyu exhaled a breath of foul air and sighed, "If I didn't know, how would I dare to keep you? It's not that I'm avoiding anyone intentionally, but there was a previous..."

At this point, she paused and changed the topic, "There was Jin Chuan in front and Qing Wen behind, how could he be responsible? Now that I am old, those rumors are spreading more and more. If I don't avoid it, who knows what the result will be?"

She originally wanted to tell him about what happened when Jia Baoyu abandoned her and ran away when they were watching The West Chamber, but in the end she found it difficult to say it.

"Miss!" Zijuan felt extremely regretful after hearing this. She kowtowed and said, "I lost my mind for a moment. I am sorry, Miss!"

If you don't get hit by the stick, you won't feel the pain.

Before, she only thought that Jin Chuan had bad intentions and was deliberately adding fuel to the fire, but now, she regretted not listening to her advice.

"Forget it!" Lin Daiyu waved her hands and said, "If I didn't want to keep you by my side, I wouldn't have disobeyed my father's order. But, after all, you belong to my grandmother. I can only do my best and leave the rest to fate. I tell you all this today because we are master and servant. Even if things don't go as we wish..."

"My lady, what you said makes me feel ashamed!" Zijuan kowtowed three times and said solemnly, "Even if I can't follow you in the future, that's my fate!"

"Get up!" Lin Daiyu got up from the edge of the bed and helped Zijuan up from the ground.

He also reminded her, "Now that I have made it clear to you today, you should know what is going on in the future. Although you have no choice today, you should still avoid suspicion. If he gives you anything in the future, don't forget to give him a reward in return, and don't let others gossip about you."

"Yes! I understand." Zijuan agreed.

But after thinking about it, he hesitated and said, "Is it a reward according to what Master Yi sent?"

Although there was a reason for teaching Xiangling poetry, Zhang Yun逸 treated her equally. He only gave her an extra portion of fruit because she was suffering from an old illness.

But every time someone sent something over, Lin Daiyu did not accept it openly. She usually gave some three to five hundred coins as a reward to Jin Chuan and others.

Even though it is still incomparable to the value of that wild ginseng and the feelings of Zhen Shiyin in diagnosing illnesses, it is still acceptable in terms of etiquette.

Originally, she could still support herself with her monthly allowance, but now with the addition of Jia Baoyu, she was afraid that it might not be enough.

"Well! Just give it as a reward! If the monthly allowance is not enough, go and tell the outsiders to ask Steward Lin to pay some money in."
