The red building is so arrogant

After seeing off Mrs. Zhong Jinghou, Shi Xiangyun immediately held a meeting in the back house, and informed Xing Xiuyan and Ping'er of the rumors related to Lin Daiyu.

Then she seemed to be manic-depressive again, circling around in the living room and said: "Since this rumor can reach Zhongjinghou's mansion, it's hard to guarantee that it won't spread to our mansion, and to Sister Lin's ears--I have a heart A gag order may have the opposite effect."

As he said that, he stopped and faced the two of them and said, "So I want to ask my sisters to give me an idea on how to deal with this matter."

Ping'er thought about it for a while, and then asked: "When the girls came to the appointment two days ago, did they mention when to pick up Miss Lin?"

"This……"

Shi Xiangyun was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "I didn't mention it."

After speaking, her face quickly turned pale.

It wasn't because she wasn't smart enough that she didn't connect the two things before, but because she didn't want to speculate on it from the bottom of her heart.

When she was a child, because she didn't please her aunt, although she was not treated harshly in the Bowling Marquis's mansion, she was far from being comfortable.

In contrast, Rongguo Mansion is more like her ideal home - with fine clothes and fine food, a carefree life, a cousin who can play together, and many sisters who are similar in age.

And the most important thing among them is the aunt Jia Mu who combines love, tolerance, and pity.

So it was really hard for her to accept that the Rongguo Mansion would be so indifferent, and she was even more unwilling to imagine that the loving and harmonious old lady would be so cruel and heartless.

Seeing her like this, Ping'er couldn't help but sighed softly, and when she was about to speak a few words of relief, she suddenly found that Xing Xiuyan was hesitating to speak, thinking of the relationship between Xing Xiuyan and Lin Daiyu, she couldn't help but look sideways.

Because of this, Shi Xiangyun found out that something was wrong with Xing Xiuyan, and immediately stepped forward to hold Xing Xiuyan's wrist and said, "My dear sister, don't you know something?"

"This……"

Xing Xiuyan shrugged in embarrassment, and said: "To tell you the truth, my wife, in fact, Sister Lin already knew about it, and Xueyan even mentioned it to me a while ago, saying she wanted me to persuade her, but I see her I tried to pretend to be calm, but I was worried that breaking things up would embarrass her, so I..."

"So she already knew."

After hearing this, Shi Xiangyun's eyes unconsciously diverged and became empty. In this matter, she is undoubtedly the one who can empathize with Lin Daiyu the most.

After all, both of their parents died, they both lived in Rongguo Mansion, and they both relied on Jia's mother's care and care, and even their relationship with Jia Baoyu was almost the same.

So when she thought that Mother Jia might have played some role in it, she felt angina with empathy, and the degree of this heartache even far exceeded the anger at the rumor itself.

Presumably Lin Daiyu is the same, and it must be even worse!

But she hasn't shown it in the past few days...

"Ah~"

Shi Xiangyun sighed quietly: "Others only know that Sister Lin sheds tears at every turn, but they don't know that she is the most tenacious one. If I had encountered such a thing before meeting Master, I'm afraid it would have already been..."

After a pause, she began to struggle again: "Then should I try to comfort Sister Lin, or pretend nothing happened?"

"My wife is different from me."

Xing Xiuyan heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Actually, the person who can empathize most with this matter is my wife—and since the outside world has already spread, this test will have to be passed sooner or later."

The reason why I say this is mainly because Shi Xiangyun is not the kind of character who can hide and hide. If she really stops her from breaking through, she is afraid that she will suffocate herself to death, and it will definitely be difficult to keep calm in front of Lin Daiyu. .

Sure enough, Shi Xiangyun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and immediately ordered vigorously: "Hongyu, go and send my summer pillow to the guest house, and tell Miss Lin that I will stay there at night."

This obviously meant to have a night talk with Lin Daiyu.

After hearing this, Hongyu hurriedly went to the room to take out a porcelain pillow, and was about to go out, but was stopped by Xing Xiuyan.

"give it to me."

Xing Xiuyan reached out to ask for the pillow, and then said to Shi Xiangyun, "I'll go over and lay the groundwork first, after all, I have to give her a process of adaptation."

Shi Xiangyun had nothing to do with this, and personally sent her out of the courtyard gate, and when he returned to the house, he couldn't help but sigh: "Sister Xing and Sister Lin clearly met after us, but they are like real sisters."

Ping'er subconsciously replied: "Although Aunt Xing and Miss Lin are very close, it cannot surpass the friendship you have had together since childhood."

Shi Xiangyun was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Sister Ping'er is still afraid that I will be jealous of Sister Xing?"

Ping'er couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, raised his head and slapped himself lightly on the mouth, shook his head and said: "I used to be a peacemaker in front of Second Mistress in the early years, and I can't change it for a while."

"Sister Feng is sometimes too strict, but fortunately you are by her side."

The two chatted in the room for a while, Shi Xiangyun couldn't bear it anymore, and kept looking outside the door, not wanting to see a familiar burly figure before Xing Xiuyan came back.

"master?"

Shi Xiangyun stood up in amazement, and led Ping'er to welcome him out. He couldn't help asking from a distance: "Why is the master coming back at this time? Could it be that he left something at home?"

"Go in and talk."

Jiao Shunchong raised his hand inside, and took the lead to enter the main room.

After taking his seat at the main seat, he said to Xiangyun: "I was working in the Ministry of Industry just now, and suddenly I got the news that the case of Wang Taiwei has already begun."

"really?"

While pouring tea for Jiao Shun himself, Shi Xiangyun hurriedly asked, "Have you ever been cleared of the crime?"

Jiao Shun shook his head, and said, "Not only did it not get rid of it, but it also added a dozen crimes, large and small, most of which were arrogance of power—Wang Taiwei's title of 'Southeast King', but It didn't come out of nowhere."

After hearing this, Shi Xiangyun hurriedly asked: "Will that implicate Sister Feng again?"

In fact, she didn't care that much about the Wang family, but cared more about Wang Xifeng's crime of concealment.

"It's not easy to talk about her."

Jiao Shun shook his head and said: "The reason why I came back early is not just because of this matter - I analyzed Wang Taiwei's case with you a while ago, didn't I say that this case is actually Wang Taiwei fighting with Jiangsu and Zhejiang people? ?”

Shi Xiangyun nodded ignorantly, not understanding what Jiao Shun meant by saying this.

"Now that Wang Taiwei's charges have been confirmed, it will naturally not make the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang feel better. It has been exposed that many officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have covered up and condoned merchants to smuggle ships, sell illegal salt, and even colluded with foreigners to resell drugs. "

Shi Xiangyun became more and more confused, so she was actually not much better than Lin Daiyu in this respect, how could she hear the involvement behind these official strife.

Fortunately, Jiao Shun didn't continue to play tricks, and sighed: "The focus is on selling private salt. Just think about it, what kind of job did Sister Lin's father hold before he was alive? Where did he come from?"

Shi Xiangyun suddenly rounded his beautiful eyes.

The official position that Lin Ruhai held before his death was the Xunyan Yushi, and he was re-elected for many years, and finally died in this position-and his ancestral home is Suzhou, and he is a native of Jiangsu and Zhejiang!

"master!"

She grabbed Jiao Shun's sleeve suddenly, and said in a trembling voice: "Could it be, can this matter be involved in Uncle Lin's head?!"

"It's probably impossible to escape. In the officialdom, no matter what the dead are, I'm afraid that the crime will be pushed to Mr. Lin. Who put him in a place of suspicion, but why can't he defend himself?"

Jiao Shun couldn't help sighing as he spoke, although he secretly colluded with Mrs. Wang and wanted to make Lin Daiyu stay in Jiao's house by belittling Lin Daiyu's reputation, but this matter was really beyond his expectation.

What he is most worried about right now is that Lin Daiyu will not be able to bear the successive blows.

If I had known earlier, I would have slowed down.

But at that time, who could have predicted in advance that Lin Ruhai, who had passed away long ago, would be involved in the imperial court's investigation into the case of Prince Teng's laxity? !

What Jiao Shun could think of, Shi Xiangyun naturally thought of too.

She slumped down on the chair opposite, and said with a bitter face: "This rumor of fate is enough for Sister Lin to bear, whoever wants to have it..."

Ok?
Jiao Shun subconsciously straightened his back at the side, thinking that he hadn't started the next plan yet, how did this matter get to Xiangyun's ears?
He pretended not to know why and asked, "What kind of rumors are there?"

Shi Xiangyun didn't doubt that he was there, so he hurriedly recounted the previous conversation with Mrs. Zhongjinghou, and said in distress: "Just now I asked Sister Xing to send the pillow to comfort Sister Lin, and now I got another pillow. Bad news, I really don't know what to say when I see her tonight."

This Mrs. Zhong Jinghou is really quick-talking.

Jiao Shun was secretly annoyed that the other party ruined his plan, but once Lin Ruhai's incident happened, the original plan was actually out of date.

At the same time, he solemnly said: "I came here on purpose just to discuss with you and Xiuyan, to see if we should temporarily block this news, so as not to irritate Sister Lin."

As he said that, he couldn't help sighing sincerely: "Oh, this year is really troublesome. Sister Lin's affairs are relatively minor, and the trouble is actually in the Rongguo Mansion."

"Rongguo Mansion?"

Shi Xiangyun couldn't keep up with Jiao Shun's thinking again. After thinking for a while, he said uncertainly: "Master, you mean that Sister Feng's case will be repeated?"

"No, I'm talking about the entire Rongguo Mansion!"

Jiao Shun leaned forward, and reminded with a low voice: "Think about it, once the crime of covering up private salt falls on Mr. Lin, what will be the next step? Although the person has long since disappeared, but the relevant The stolen money will not be buried in the ground with it, the court will always try to recover it!"

As he said that, he sneered and asked, "But does it look like Sister Lin has won a million dollars?"

"This this……"

Shi Xiangyun's beautiful eyes widened again. She had never thought about these things before, but now that Jiao Shun told her the truth, she immediately connected what she saw and heard in Rongguo Mansion, tremblingly said: "Could it be that Lin Uncle's family property is, all..."

Jiao Shun continued to sneer: "Rongguo Mansion has been unable to make ends meet in the past few years, but suddenly spent gold and silver to build such a large garden. How do you think the money came from?"

"That, that..."

When Shi Xiangyun heard this, he felt a buzzing in his head. This matter was not only about the inheritance of the Lin family, but also related to the attitude of the Rongguo Mansion towards Lin Daiyu.

If Lin Daiyu was just living under someone else's roof, Mrs. Wang and Jia's mother treated her like that, and she could barely explain it, but if the Rongguo Mansion took over the Lin family's wealth and still treated Lin Daiyu like this, then it is really, really...

She couldn't find a suitable adjective for a moment, and she just felt that the tender Rongguo Mansion in her memory had suddenly turned into a scourge that devoured people without spitting out their bones!
How could this be? !

They are all close relatives, how can they let go? !How can it be done? !

In the summer, when she sat on the chair, she felt cold all over her body, piercing to the marrow.

At this moment, Xiangyun suddenly felt her armpits tighten, and was immediately pulled up by Jiao Shun, wrapped her tightly in his arms, patted her on the back and comforted her: "Okay, okay, I'm here, right? With me here, this day will not collapse!"

Although what he said was a bit guilty, but under Jiao Shun's comfort, Xiang Yun finally felt better.

Then she started to feel worthless for Lin Daiyu again.

Although there is no real evidence, anyone with a discerning eye knows the transfer of interests behind this, and they can guess that Lin Ruhai will entrust his only child and family property to the Rongguo Mansion. It must be because the Rongguo Mansion has made some kind of promise.

As for what this promise is, it's not hard to guess when you think of the close relationship between Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu in the past two years.

However, after the Rongguo Mansion squandered Lin Ruhai's inheritance, not only dismantled the former alliance of wood and stone, but also concocted rumors about Lin Daiyu's fate...

After thinking about it with his heart, Shi Xiangyun was filled with righteous indignation, and couldn't help crying for what happened to Lin Daiyu.

She fell into Jiao Shun's arms and said in a muffled voice: "Sister Lin is so pitiful, I, I don't know how to comfort her."

"Do what you can."

Jiao Shun said, "If not, let Xiuyan and Heping'er take turns to stay with her for a while, so as not to..."

"I also need to go!"

Shi Xiangyun signed up enthusiastically at first, but then suddenly fell silent, lying in Jiao Shun's arms without opening his mouth for a long time.

At the beginning, Jiao Shun only thought that she was still immersed in emotions, so he just patted her on the back lightly, and comforted her softly in her ear.

But gradually, he found that Shi Xiangyun's mood was a little strange.

In the end, before he could ask, Shi Xiangyun suddenly asked again: "Brother Jiao, you, are you treating Sister Lin, Sister Lin..."

Recently, she got used to hearing her call Master, and suddenly changed back to Brother Jiao, Jiao Shun was really not used to it for a while.

But he didn't care about this anymore, Shi Xiangyun's demeanor and tone obviously saw through his coveting heart for Lin Daiyu.

Jiao Shun subconsciously wanted to deny it, but on second thought, if he denied it, there would be an extra layer of barriers to attack Lin Daiyu in the future.

While hesitating, he heard Xiang Yun say: "I don't really care about it, but after all, you have already promised the third sister."

"Where is it that I promised?"

Now that his thoughts had been seen through, Jiao Shun simply stopped hiding and called out to Qu: "Actually, Sister Lin was the first to know the news, but she never gave a single word of reply, and once tried to push Baoqin away." Give it to me, then..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shi Xiangyun's environmental protection tightened his arms around his waist, and she could only hear her say quietly: "Third sister must not listen to these words."

As he spoke, Jiao Shun felt a pain in his chest, but she was bitten hard by her through the clothes.

Jiao Shunqing knew that what he just said was inappropriate. After all, Tanchun was already before getting married. If Lin Daiyu was earlier, wouldn't it prove that he was coveting Daiyu while flattering Xiangyun?
Just as he was about to pull out his parents as a shield, he heard Xiang Yun say in a muffled voice: "If the master is not in a hurry to go out, then come with me to enlighten sister Lin—if the court really wants to investigate, at least the master will not get any benefits. And throw it away like a shoe."
