The King of Beijing in the Red Mansion

At this moment, Jia's mother felt her breathing was stiff, her head felt dizzy, and her body tilted.

"Old lady, old ancestor."

Suddenly, the room was in chaos. Baoyu, the person involved, stood there in a daze, at a loss, and in a state of panic, not knowing what to do.

After a panic, Grandmother Jia managed to calm herself down and burst into tears. She didn't expect that the spiritual jade was broken. What should she do with her beloved child?

Daiyu watched this scene with tears in her eyes, her heart was also in a panic. She had seen Lady Jia fall over earlier and had seen a look of worry on her face, but seeing Lady Jia like this, her grandmother would not forgive her!

Before Lady Jia could say anything, Mrs. Wang could no longer hold back. She looked at Daiyu gloomily and spoke without thinking. She scolded her, "Baoyu was fine. It was all your fault, you sickling. He should have stayed in the palace. Why did you come back?"

It was all this sick girl's fault, how could Baoyu be blamed?

When Daiyu heard this, her delicate body trembled, and her pretty face turned pale. She felt more and more miserable, and she covered her face and cried bitterly. Her petite body staggered and she could hardly stand.

The Duke's Mansion has never been her home.

Seeing Daiyu crumbling, Feng Jieer couldn't help feeling a bit of pity for her.

Mrs. Wang's words even called out the sickly person, which showed that she was extremely disgusted with him.

Daiyu is now an orphan, and her only relative is Grandmother Jia. However, it is obvious that Mrs. Wang does not consider Daiyu as one of her own family members. How can Daiyu, who is already sentimental, cope with this?

I think that only the prince's sworn brother treats Miss Lin sincerely well.

Unfortunately, the prince is not here.

Just as I was thinking about it, a gentle voice suddenly came from outside, asking in surprise: "What happened?"

Hearing this voice, Daiyu's heart trembled, and she looked out of the house with her tearful face, and saw a cheerful figure walking in. It was her long-missed brother.

At this moment, Daiyu felt so moved that tears fell down her face.

Every time I feel the saddest, my brother always arrives in time.

Sister Feng: “.”

Speak of the devil and he will appear. He is so good at talking!

"Why is the prince here?" Mrs. Wang asked in surprise when she saw the person coming.

Shui Rong glanced at Daiyu, whose tearful eyes looked a little swollen, and felt pity for her.

His good sister has been wronged again. I'm afraid she won't be able to sleep all night.

However, Shui Rong could not care about Daiyu at this moment. He stared at Madam Wang and said kindly, "Yuanchun misses her mother-in-law very much. However, she is pregnant and cannot travel. So the son-in-law thought of inviting her to visit the palace when she is free, so that she can also accompany Yuanchun."

Xueyan had explained the matter before, so Shui Rong came here specifically for Daiyu. However, if he told the truth, not only would it make Daiyu embarrassed, it might also hurt the relationship between Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang. Yuanchun, who was nearby, heard this and suggested that Shui Rong use this as an excuse to appeal to the Duke's Mansion.

After all, Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang are both Shui Rong's elders, so how could they let their relationship become strained?

Even an honest judge cannot settle family disputes, so how can Shui Rong still act so arrogantly and give orders?

Hearing this, Jia's mother felt relieved. She knew that Shui Rong had always loved Daiyu, her adopted sister, and she thought that Daiyu knew something was wrong and went to the palace to ask for help.

At the moment, it seems like a coincidence.

When Mrs. Wang saw Shui Rong talking about Yuanchun, she smiled and said, "Since the prince has invited me, I will visit him at the palace tomorrow."

Yuanchun is not only her daughter, but the baby in her belly is her grandson, the future Crown Prince of Prince Beijing's Mansion. Naturally, Mrs. Wang attaches great importance to him.

Shui Rong nodded, looked around at the mess in front of him, and his eyes fell on Daiyu. He asked, "Pin'er, why are you crying for no reason?"

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent. After all, they all knew that the prince loved Daiyu very much.

Seeing how quiet the room was, Sister Feng knew that she couldn't let the atmosphere get dull, so she stepped forward and whispered briefly about the breaking of the spiritual jade.

Shui Rong seemed to suddenly understand after hearing this. He lowered his eyes to look at the broken spiritual jade in Amber's hand, then walked to the jade, put his hand on the boy's shoulder, and said comfortingly: "It's just a piece of stubborn stone. It's broken. Tomorrow I will go to the storehouse to find another piece of jade for you to wear."

Grandmother Jia and Lady Wang: “.”

This is a magical jade, how can it be just a piece of stone? No random piece of jade can compare to it.

But these words were said by Shui Rong, so Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang couldn't say much. If it were someone else, you would see whether Lady Jia would scold him or not.

Chapter 400 Shui Rong: The Jade That Is No Longer Psychic

In the side room, Baoyu heard Shui Rong say that this was a piece of stubborn stone. Under his delicate eyebrows, his eyes were bright and he said hurriedly: "Brother-in-law is right. It is just a piece of stone. It is nothing serious."

His brother-in-law's words really touched his heart. It was just a piece of stubborn stone. How could it be a big deal? Was there any need to make such a fuss? It was as if the sky had fallen.

Since he was a child, both Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang said that this magical jade was a symbol of great wealth and honor, saying that it was his lifeblood and so on. They hoped that he would make some great economic achievements, which made Baoyu very annoyed.

Besides, none of the sisters in the mansion had it, and he was the only one who had this piece of jade, which made him stand out from the crowd.

Therefore, to Baoyu, the spiritual jade is just a rare stone in his eyes, and he really doesn't want this thing from the bottom of his heart.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen down so many times without taking it seriously.

"Shut up, you bastard, what are you talking about? That's your life!"

When Mrs. Wang heard that Baoyu actually agreed with this, she was struck by lightning, her face turned extremely pale, she raised her finger and pointed at Baoyu, her lips trembling as she began to scold him.

At this moment, Mrs. Wang even wanted to beat Baoyu to death. She felt angry and tired at the same time.

When Baoyu heard Mrs. Wang's rebuke, he immediately shrank his neck and dared not speak. But he murmured helplessly in his heart: "Look, it's happening again. How come that stone is his lifeblood? He doesn't seem to be in any trouble even if it's broken!"

Shui Rong looked at Madam Wang, who looked so disappointed in him that she could not make him become a better person. He could no longer care about her so-called "kind eyes" and his gaze could not help but freeze.

To be honest, Shui Rong didn't believe the statement that he was "born with a jade in his mouth". After all, this magical jade not only had a carved style, but also had words engraved on it. Who would believe it?

Since it was not a gift from God, it must have been man-made. Mrs. Wang's current look of "hateful and disappointed with her husband" is obviously Mrs. Wang's work.

Shui Rong roughly understood why Mrs. Wang came up with the idea of ​​"being born with a jade in the mouth".

The so-called "being born with jade in the mouth" represents strangeness and blessing. In the superstitious feudal era, it means receiving blessings from heaven, and its significance is immeasurable.

At the beginning of "Dream of Red Mansions", Leng Zixing once said: "The Duke's Mansion is not the same as before", which means that the Jia family is on the decline and urgently needs someone to take up the responsibility. At this time, Baoyu was "born with a jade in his mouth" just in time, and "a strange thing happened", which made the Duke's Mansion famous for a while, and Baoyu, who was born with a jade in his mouth, became the face of the Duke's Mansion's decoration.

To be honest, why did Baoyu, the legitimate son of the second wife, receive so much love from Grandmother Jia since he was a child? You can say it's because Baoyu looks like his grandfather, but how much can you tell from a child's appearance?

I think it is because Baoyu was born with a jade in his mouth that Jia's grandmother paid attention to him. In addition, Baoyu worked hard and looked more and more like his grandfather, so Jia's grandmother loved him more and more. She treated him like a treasure and wanted to give all the good things to Baoyu.

Don’t say that Lady Jia is smart. No matter how smart a person is, they will remain steadfast under superstition. This is the power of "faith".

It can be said that if Baoyu had not been "born with a jade in his mouth", even if he was like his grandfather, he would never have the glory he has today. Even if Jia's mother disliked the first wife, she would not be so partial to the second wife that she could firmly suppress the first wife.

But now, Baoyu, the person involved, admits that the "spiritual jade" is a piece of stubborn stone, which is undoubtedly digging his own grave.

Here, Mrs. Wang felt relieved when she saw Baoyu had calmed down. She turned her head to glance at Lady Jia, who had a gloomy face. When she met her cold gaze, she felt a chill in her heart.

The old lady has come to her senses.

At this time, Jia's mother's face was gloomy. The spiritual jade was broken. She was sad at the time, but she didn't think much about it for a while. However, now she came to her senses, especially when she saw Mrs. Wang's appearance, she became more and more certain.

If it was really a magical gem, how could it break? In other words, the story of "being born with the jade in his mouth" is false.

Thinking of this, Grandmother Jia looked at the shivering Baoyu again, feeling a sense of loss in her heart. When the Duke's Mansion was gradually declining, Baoyu's birth with a jade in his mouth was undoubtedly a shot in the arm.

In particular, Baoyu's appearance became more and more like her husband, which made Grandmother Jia certain that this was the manifestation of her husband's spirit, and that he would surely lead the Duke's Mansion to glory in the future. Even if Baoyu was "unlearned and incompetent", she would just regard him as someone who had not yet gained intelligence.

However, now, with the shattering of the spiritual jade, everything is an illusion.

Mrs. Wang had been carefully observing Lady Jia's expression. When she saw a hint of disappointment in her eyes, her heart tightened and she became anxious.

At this time, Shui Rong suddenly said, "Mother-in-law, don't blame Baoyu. The spiritual jade is just for good luck. If it is broken, let the craftsman repair it. It won't be a big deal."

Madam Wang: “.”

Jade can be repaired, but how can this miracle be repaired?

Grandmother Jia's expression changed a little, and she said, "Your Majesty is right. Well, what's the point of having so many people gathered here? Let's go."

If you look further, it's all a joke.

As she spoke, Jia's mother raised her eyes to look at Baoyu standing there in a daze. Her old face was full of complexity. She said, "Baoyu, you are tired too. Go back and rest first."

Even though he was not "born with a jade in his mouth", Baoyu was brought up by Grandmother Jia since he was a child. The relationship between grandma and grandson cannot be fake, so how could they become estranged because of this?

Baoyu's heart relaxed when he heard this. He looked up at Daiyu who was sobbing, with some worry between his eyebrows, but in the end he still replied, "Grandson knows."

Come back and apologize to Lin Daiyu later!

At this time, Baoyu still thought that the rain had stopped and the sky was clearing up, and he felt like a huge stone in his heart had fallen to the ground. Little did he know that because of the shattering of the spiritual jade, what he lost was immeasurable.

The jade that is no longer spiritual is not so rare anymore.

As Baoyu went down, Jia's mother looked at Shui Rong and said, "Your Majesty, I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. Why don't you go sit in the front hall? I will also show my hospitality as a good host."

Shui Rong replied in a gentle tone: "Old Lady, you are being too polite. I am the son-in-law of the Duke's Mansion after all, and I am not considered a guest in the Duke's Mansion."

Upon hearing this, Jia's grandmother felt relieved. Although Baoyu...had a son-in-law who was a prince, the Jia family would not decline because of this, and it would also give an explanation to the ancestors of the Jia family.

Laughing, Grandmother Jia said, "Your Majesty, what you said is very true. It is I, an old woman, who said the wrong thing."

Shui Rong didn't care when he heard that. His eyes twinkled under his delicate eyebrows. He suddenly said, "By the way, old lady, Yuanchun is bored while pregnant. She is thinking about Pin'er and Er Yatou. Can you let me take my sisters to stay in the palace for a few days so that I can accompany Yuanchun?"

After this incident, Shui Rong felt that it would be better to let Daiyu return to the palace. Otherwise, with her sentimental nature, she would probably cry for several nights.

The person is his, if he doesn't feel sorry for her, who will?

But if Daiyu was invited alone, she would feel a little embarrassed, so she simply took her sisters away.

On one side, Daiyu's delicate body trembled. She raised her pretty face with tears in her eyes and looked at the young man intently. A warmth surged in her heart.

After all, she still has her brother who loves her.

Grandmother Jia looked at Daiyu, whose eyes were filled with tears, and felt pity for her. She nodded and said, "Okay, Your Majesty, you can make the decision."

She even cursed Daiyu with words like "sickly bastard", which shows how much Mrs. Wang dislikes her. Add to that the incident of the broken jade, and there is a high probability that Mrs. Wang will vent her anger on Daiyu. It would be better for everyone if she could let Daiyu stay in the palace for a while.

Mrs. Wang lowered her eyes and said nothing. Her kind-hearted face was dim and unclear, but she didn't say anything.

Soon, Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang left with the help of a maid. Just like that, the drama caused by the shattering of the spiritual jade came to an end.

After they left, Shui Rong took a look at Xiren who was supported by a little girl. She saw that her pretty face was pale and her pink lips were bitten tightly under her pearly teeth. She frowned and asked, "What happened to Xiren?"

Zijuan stroked Daiyu's shoulder and said, "Your Majesty, Xiren was beaten by the Second Master before, and she even vomited blood."

Shui Rong was startled when he heard this, and there was a hint of surprise between his brows.

It is true that Baoyu is a hopeless person, but his character is indeed decent. He has always been the most caring towards girls, and he always says things like "girls are made of water".

This man who loved his daughter so much actually beat Xiren until she vomited blood.

Xiren endured the pain in her abdomen and said palely, "It was this servant who offended Second Master. Second Master is not to blame."
