Chapter 194 Too Bully
Chapter 194 Too Bully
Xichun walked up to Daiyu and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, cousin. You are the closest to me."
Daiyu was amused by Xichun's cute look and couldn't help pinching her little face: "Go ahead, don't lose me. If you want to eat anything, just tell the people in the kitchen to make it. Just a little, no drinking!"
"I know!" Xichun jumped and laughed, and ran out to chase Shi Xiangyun.
Tanchun nodded to Daiyu and left as well.
The classroom was suddenly empty, and Luluo felt sad for her daughter: "Girl, since Miss Shi came, the cousins have not been able to take care of you."
Daiyu pointed at the inkstone, signaling Luluo to continue grinding ink: "Miss Shi just arrived, it's normal for them to spend more time with her.
You can say these words in front of me, but don't show them in front of the old women in the Jia family! My good aunt has been keeping an eye on Lixiang Courtyard all the time!"
It is not known whether Mrs. Wang realized it later or was simply wary of her, but since Xue Baochai left the Jia Mansion, more and more people have been keeping an eye on Lixiang Courtyard, both openly and secretly.
Daiyu didn't care about these things and continued to do her routine, visiting Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing from time to time.
She had no intention of going to the front yard or getting close to Jia Baoyu.
But after a few visits, they were discovered by Mrs. Wang's people. Shi Xiangyun, Tanchun and Xichun often secretly wore men's clothes and went to the front yard to find Jia Baoyu.
On this day, everyone gathered to pay their respects to Grandmother Jia.
Mrs. Wang held Shi Xiangyun's hand and warned her earnestly, "My son is very left-wing. You should stay away from him on weekdays. Be careful that he does something wrong and offends you."
When Daiyu heard this, she almost couldn't help laughing out loud. She quickly lowered her head and covered her lips with her handkerchief.
Shi Xiangyun looked confused. She looked at Mrs. Wang and asked in confusion, "Brother Ai and I grew up together. How could there be any difference between us? We are very close. How could there be any conflict?"
Daiyu caught a glimpse of Mrs. Wang's expression, as if she had eaten a fly, from the corner of her eye, and almost couldn't help clapping.
Grandmother Jia also said, "That's right. When I brought Yun back home, she was only a little girl. I raised the two children with me. It's a blessing that we grew up together. It was also in the past two years that Yun got a little older and her uncle and aunt took her back. I still miss her in my heart."
Shi Xiangyun snuggled into Grandmother Jia's arms and said coquettishly, "It's because the old ancestor didn't send anyone to pick me up. I have wanted to come back for a long time! Don't forget to send someone to pick me up often in the future!"
"Haha! Then you must warn your sister Amber and ask her to remind me!"
Grandmother Jia hugged Shi Xiangyun and patted her back lovingly.
Daiyu raised her head with some surprise and looked towards Lady Jia's side.
I don’t know since when, Amber seems to appear around Lady Jia more and more frequently.
She turned her head to look at Yingchun, asking in her eyes whether Yingchun had also noticed this.
Yingchun also glanced in the direction of Lady Jia and shook her head slightly.
Today, Shi Xiangyun was unhappy with Mrs. Wang, so she didn't go to the front yard to look for Jia Baoyu.
She pouts her little lips and follows behind Daiyu and Yingchun, talking all the time as she walks.
"Brother Ai is not left-handed at all. I think he is just too horny. Otherwise, why would he be tormented by those maids and old women all day long?"
This was a bit strange, and Daiyu couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's going on?"
"It's still that old lady Li!" Shi Xiangyun got angry and spoke rudely, "She takes advantage of her age all day long, and takes things from the master's room without asking anything, and Sister Musk Moon can't do anything about her.
Last time, she ate the red bean cakes that my brother Ai left for me. Another time, she saw the bellyband that Xiren had embroidered for my brother Ai and she deliberately used scissors to tear it!"
Upon hearing this, Daiyu exchanged a quick glance with Yingchun.
They did not sympathize with Xiren, but rather, they felt that Daiyu had obviously guessed the outcome.
Shi Xiangyun saw that the others didn't say anything, nor did she get angry. She rubbed her eyes and continued, "After Brother Ai moved to the front yard, the previous maid vacancy was not filled.
Look, Sister Musk Moon came to me and asked me to embroider some fan pendants and purses for my beloved brother. I worked until almost three o'clock last night and didn't go to sleep!"
Daiyu turned around and looked at Cuilu: "You girls are making a fuss, and you don't try to persuade them!"
Tanchun also agreed, "Yes! Sister Yun is so young, how can she stay up all night! No, I have to tell the old lady about this matter. I can't let her do this!"
Shi Xiangyun hugged Tanchun's arm and begged, "My dear sister, if you go and complain like this, the old lady will punish you, and Sister Musk Moon will definitely blame me!"
Yingchun said at this time: "If the maids don't serve well and Baoyu embarrasses himself outside, your sister Musk Moon will really be punished! Let's go back and report to the ancestors."
So the four of them turned around and walked towards Rongqing Hall.
Grandmother Jia was lying on the kang, while Yuanyang was massaging her legs.
When she heard the little maid report that several girls had returned, Grandmother Jia was a little surprised.
Shi Xiangyun rushed into the inner room like a cannonball and cried directly to Grandmother Jia: "Grandma, please love my second brother. That old woman Li Ma is too bullying!"
Tanchun cleared her throat and wanted to remind Shi Xiangyun to be careful with her words, but she was completely immersed in her own emotions and blurted out everything she knew.
"Brother Ai was reluctant to eat these snacks, so he specially left them for me to try. Sister Qiu Wen said that they were left for me by Brother Ai. But that old woman Li Ma didn't care about that. She insisted that Sister Qiu Wen was deceiving her and that Brother Ai must have left them for some vixen, and she was using my name to pressure her."
Shi Xiangyun finished speaking in one breath, her eyes were red and she looked like a little white rabbit that had been bullied.
"Grandfather, you see my second brother has gone to the front yard. He can't eat well or wear clothes well. Is this going to study or to suffer?"
Shi Xiangyun's words made Jia Mu's heart tighten. She looked at the needle holes on Shi Xiangyun's hands and thought of her own beloved child "suffering" in the front yard. She sat up suddenly, held Shi Xiangyun's hand, and wanted to stand up.
"Let's go! Let's go check out the front yard!"
Yuanyang's hands were empty and she almost lost her balance. She saw the maids outside gathered around Lady Jia and helped her put on clothes.
It is impossible to say that I have no regrets at all.
She pretended everything was normal, walked to Lady Jia's side, and dressed her neatly.
Jia Baoyu's courtyard was not far from Jia Mu's courtyard, but Jia Baoyu had always lived in Jia Mu's green gauze cabinet and rarely went to that courtyard.
When he read on weekdays, he would go to a quiet room next to Jia Zheng's study, which was used as Jia Baoyu's study.
The group of people followed closely behind, and in just a few moments they had arrived outside Jia Baoyu's courtyard.
