Chapter 144 Personal Favorites
"I was originally unable to do it, and wanted to hand over the housekeeping to my niece, but she refused again and again..."
Before Mrs. Wang could finish her argument, Grandmother Jia interrupted her coldly: "Who are you trying to fool by saying this? Is Mrs. Zhou Rui working for Miss Feng or for you? You are blind when you look at others, can't you see it? No! As long as Miss Feng can't see it, it's enough!"
Mrs. Wang's face, which had been wooden for many years, turned slightly red, and it was obvious that Lady Jia's words had hit upon her inner thoughts.
"Oh my!" Mrs. Xing, unwilling to be ignored, interrupted and spoke for Wang Xifeng, "My Ah Feng is so pitiful! When she was pregnant with her first child, she was helping her good aunt to manage the household, but what happened? Almost two lives were lost! She was really scared!"
When Lady Xing also got involved, Jia's grandmother felt an even bigger headache.
She frowned and waved her hand to drive the two out: "You two, go back to your own yards. You don't have to worry about this! And the eldest daughter-in-law, ask the housekeeper Lai to handle the moving of the yard. Don't even think about making money from it. After the move, I'm going to check the account book!"
Grandmother Jia had not been involved in such matters for many years, but her authority was still there. Both of them knew that Grandmother Jia was just warning Mrs. Xing not to be too greedy.
After hearing what Lady Jia said, Mrs. Xing was not angry. She left with a smile and went back to report the good news to Wang Xifeng.
Compared to Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing was quite simple and straightforward. Wang Xifeng only needed to coax her a little, lower her head, and admit her mistakes, and the relationship between her and Mrs. Xing eased a lot. Within two days, the two were almost as close as mother and daughter.
Jia Lian and Jia She were equally lustful. Over the past few months, Wang Xifeng's permissive attitude had given her and Lady Xing more common topics to talk about.
Wang Xifeng went to the East Courtyard several times, but after that, it was Lady Xing who frequently visited her courtyard and strictly ordered her not to run around. Even though she had to go back and forth in a carriage every day, Lady Xing would go to the inner courtyard to see her in person.
It was two hours later when Daiyu got the news. She sneered and thought: This is just the beginning.
She continued to practice calligraphy, and did not forget to ask Qiu Kui: "Has Huang Yongjin checked it out?"
"For now, we have only investigated the industries that are visible. It will take time to find out more."
Daiyu did not express her opinion immediately, but waited until she finished writing, put the brush back on the pen holder, admired her work, and then slowly spoke: "It's okay, just copy down what you have found out for me first. How can a snake move on its own if you don't beat the grass? Go!"
Although Qiu Kui didn't understand Daiyu's specific plan, she thought that if she followed Daiyu out, she would figure it out. But she didn't expect that Daiyu had no intention of taking them with her.
Daiyu felt that she went out at night so many times that she could even walk to the Jia Mansion with her eyes closed.
The news during the day gave her a sense of crisis, and she was afraid that her good days at home were numbered.
She walked into the Xue family's yard with ease, first knocked out everyone in the yard, and then walked into Xue's house.
Daiyu issued a command in her mind: [111, scan, what books are there in this room? ]
Judging from 111's excellent computing performance, the host definitely did not intend to scan the books this time, but it had no evidence.
It can only go through the process silently: [OK host, the scan is complete, please check the scan results! ]
Daiyu clicked on the scanned image and jumped up happily. She happily shuttled through the rooms, even the maids' rooms.
She did the same thing and went to several shops in one night, taking out all the goods inside, even the furniture in the shops.
However, she did not leave the furniture in the warehouse to take up space. Instead, she took it to the south city, found a well, and piled all the furniture in the open space beside the well.
Even if someone picked it up and burned it as firewood, Daiyu would not feel sad.
After doing all this, she finally returned to Rongguo Mansion. She took out the special medicine she had bought from the system mall to treat new addiction from the warehouse.
Standing in front of Xue Pan's window, Daiyu gave a sinister smile.
She wrapped her hands with the window curtain, pinched Xue Pan's mouth open, and poured the medicine in.
This medicine was originally intended to treat Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, but unexpectedly it came in handy ahead of time.
I don't know if there are people in the main world who don't have this disease. This medicine not only doesn't require points, but will give extra points as the cost of the trial. The condition is to report the adverse reactions after taking it.
Daiyu was no stranger to this kind of thing. When she had no money before, she would go to the research institute to participate in similar development research.
She collected her thoughts and said to herself: "It is said that it is bad for boys to have sex too early and too often. I am helping you! This will also allow you to retain more nutrients for growth. I am such a good person!"
Then an idea popped into her mind: should she give this medicine to Jia Baoyu as well?
Then she gave up the idea: Xiren hasn't even come to power yet, how can she ruin someone else's good future!
She did not forget to scan Xue Pan's room, but 111 told her that there were no books in the room, so the scanning results would not be provided.
Daiyu was so angry that she adjusted the location and set it to Jia Zheng's study. Only then did she find the room where Xue Pan was on the periphery of the scan image.
I didn't expect that despite his disability, he was strong-willed and even carried something like Xiuchunnang with him.
Daiyu searched the room but couldn't find the pen. She went to the yard, broke off two branches, and used them to pick up Xue Pan's personal belongings.
Throw it away? That's impossible.
How could Daiyu possibly let Xue Baochai stay out of the incident of the search of the Grand View Garden in the original novel?
Daiyu carried a string of purses and returned to the inner courtyard, avoiding two or three servants from the Jia family who had come out to use the toilet.
The Xue family's yard was so quiet that not even the sound of insects could be heard. The Lantern Festival had passed for several days, but the world was still shrouded in the coldness of winter, with no sign of warming up.
She quickly slipped into Xue's room and stuffed all her purses under the bed. She was secretly proud of herself: I am so mean, but I am so happy!
This happy mood continued until she returned to the Lin Mansion, and she even had a sweet smile in her sleep.
The next morning, Daiyu did not stay in bed. She woke up early, of course because of her soul cultivation technique, but more because she wanted to see the follow-up of the matter in person!
She didn't dare bring Qiu Kui to watch the fun.
After all, she had just asked Qiu Kui for a list of Xue's properties yesterday, and today she received news that something had happened to Xue's shop.
