Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 389: News Spreads to Jia's House

Almost everyone in the Jia family was awakened while they were still asleep.

Each one cursed in his heart,

What's the matter with this old man Lai Da? Why has he learned to be so jumpy?

I'm getting old and less stable.

But then there was the news of who died last night, whether it was the emperor or the retired emperor, and I'm afraid it was this news.

As a result, everyone cleaned up neatly.

Grandmother Jia is older and a little slower.

When she got to the hall,

I saw that Jia Zheng and his wife, Lady Xing and his wife, Jia Zhen and his wife, and Jia Lian and his wife all had dejected looks on their faces.

Jia's mother's heart immediately began to ache again.

She looked at Lai Da in the middle.

Lai Da seemed to be somewhat distraught.

"Lai Da, what happened?"

"Was it His Majesty or the Emperor last night?"

"..."

I didn’t say the rest, but I believe everyone understands.

Grandmother Jia pretended to be calm, and a flash of anxiety flashed across her eyes.

Lai Da didn't answer at first, then suddenly knelt on the ground.

"Madam, the Emperor and His Majesty are gone."

"The difference is only half an hour."

Grandmother Jia couldn't help shaking a few times.

The two saints passed away!

Can there still be peace in this world?

She asked someone to help her sit on the middle chair, and then she asked with difficulty,

"Does it have anything to do with Miaoyu and Daiyu?"

Lai Da's eyes were cloudy, as if he had been hit hard.

His pupils turned red and he nodded heavily.

……

As Lai Da moved, Jia's head felt a "thumping" sound, and her temples were about to pop out.

Disaster is coming!

Her eyes glanced at Mrs. Wang, and it seemed as if she could peel off a layer of skin.

This bad general!

Mrs. Xing suddenly jumped up and pointed at Mrs. Wang's nose and cursed.

"It's all you!"

"You're a jerk."

"Vicious and vicious."

……

He was cursed by Mrs. Xing and tortured by the gazes of others.

Mrs. Wang glanced at Jia Zheng.

I saw the disappointment and disgust in his eyes...

Hatred gradually grew in Madam Wang's eyes.

Who am I doing this for? It's for you guys. Don't you enjoy the wealth earned by my daughter?

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt unable to hold back, especially with Mrs. Xing's chattering mouth.

Mrs. Wang suddenly slammed the Buddhist beads in her hand onto Mrs. Xing's mouth.

Mrs. Xing was stunned on the spot.

"You dare to hit me, okay!"

"Let's see who's afraid of whom!"

Mrs. Xing also threw the walnut in her hand.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Jia's mother closed her eyes and yelled,

"That's enough, aren't you ashamed?"

"You don't even know how to deal with it, but you're punishing yourself first."

"Are you still the mistress of the house?"

"Look at you, you are worse than a shrew!"

Grandmother Jia was deeply distressed, and she pounded the ground with her cane.

My head hurts!

Hearing this, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang immediately stopped.

He looked towards Lai Da.

There are outsiders present!

They returned to their original positions somewhat embarrassedly.

There were a few faint red envelopes on their faces.

"How was it handled?"

It was Jia Zheng who first asked the question.

He felt annoyed and thought that if he didn't speak up, he would take action himself.

Lai Da suppressed the surprise on his face and swallowed his saliva.

"It's time for a change of dynasty!"

Everyone found this statement a bit puzzling. Of course there has to be a change of generation, so why a change of dynasty?

Jia Zheng hesitated for a moment, thinking that Lai Da might have said it casually, so he continued to ask,

"Is the prince going to ascend the throne?"

At this moment, the expression on Lai Da's face was like crying and laughing, which was hard to describe.

"No! The two saints abdicated to King Nan'an."

"Pfft!"

The Buddhist beads in Mrs. Wang's hand fell to the ground.

The walnut in Mrs. Xing's hand rolled out.

The cane in Lady Jia's hand was about to cry.

……

The only sound in the hall was suppressed breathing.

"What are you surprised about? This is a good thing!" Jia She on the side chuckled.

The cane tapped out "tat tap", making brisk footsteps.

"Mother! Who is the King of Nan'an? He is Lin Ruhai's disciple."

"That's because my sister has been raising me for many years, so I have the intention of being half my son."

"My wife, Madam Xing, had the foresight to marry Yingchun to the Lin family."

“This is a close relationship.”

"Mom, we are tied to the Lin family tightly."

At this point, Jia She seemed a little anxious.

"No, you..." He pointed at Mrs. Xing and Jia Lian.

"You all go talk to Yingchun. Everything won't be fine just because the marriage is arranged."

"It's time to write letters, especially to her aunt."

Mrs. Xing's face was also full of joy, and even the red and swollen parts were shining.

I am Yingchun's biological mother. She should thank me for such a good marriage.

Respect yourself.

Gold, silver and jewelry are everywhere!

Mrs. Xing was so happy that she grinned!

Mrs. Wang's face was so gloomy that water could be squeezed out of it.

I cursed in my heart, wondering why God was so blind.

At this time, Jia's mother was not so optimistic, because she saw that Lai Da's face did not show any joy.

She couldn't help but continue to ask,

"Lai Da, do you have anything else to say?"

"The two saints abdicated. Will the queen agree? She still has a crown prince?"

"Will it not be a peaceful abdication?"

When they heard Grandmother Jia ask this, the others calmed down. Yes! And what about the prince?

Will the prince’s mother’s family agree?

Will the Zhen family agree?

At this time, Lai Da did not answer immediately, but kowtowed heavily again.

Then he knelt down before Lady Jia,

A few turbid tears squeezed out of my eyes.

"Old lady, I have been a slave of the Jia family for my whole life, two lives, and my whole life has been."

"For so many years, I have been loyal and dedicated to the Jia family."

"We are old and useless."

"Can you release the indentures of the children at home?"

Hearing this, Jia's mother took two steps back, her eyes dark and inexplicable.

"Lai Da, just speak frankly!"

"What's going on?"

"You can even let me release my bond."

"You have to give me a clear answer."

"Back then, your Lai family swore that you would be slaves of the Jia family for generations to come."

"You suddenly broke your oath today. I want to hear how big a disaster has happened to my Jia family."

Before she finished her words, Jia She spoke anxiously.

"Lai Da! Have you lost your mind and gone crazy? Didn't you release your son Lai Shangrong's indenture?"

“And he’s an official now.”

"You still want to release the whole family. Are you sick?"

Jia She was standing aside, listening anxiously.

Lai Da wanted to withdraw.

Can anything good come of this?

He couldn't bear to see bad things happen.

At this time, Lai Da kowtowed again.

"Madam, I don't mind. It's just that my children are blessed by the Jia family."

“They have never served anyone.”

"There are three or two people serving me, and they were all brought up by being served."

"If it continues like this, I will be willing to be a servant of the Jia family for generations."

"But if they become slaves of other people, I'm afraid they can't stand it!"

Speaking of this, Lai Da burst into tears.

Lai Da's words immediately made the atmosphere in the room solemn.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Lai Da.

It seems like I could nail a hole in it and see what's going on in his head.

At this time, I only heard Jia's mother say leisurely,

"Lai Da, why don't you tell me first how big a disaster my Jia family has encountered."

"The family is exterminated."

"Or exile."

"You are so rash in asking for a body contract. It makes me feel disappointed."

Grandmother Jia's words cast a heavy shadow on the hearts of everyone present.

What? It was Miaoyu who cursed the retired emperor and the emperor to death.

At best, she was a nun kept at home.

Can it be so big?

Unless it’s Jia Yuanchun?

Thinking of this, everyone turned their eyes to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang looked pale. Now the only one missing was Yuanchun.

How could something that could scare the old fox from the Lai family be a small matter?
