Red House Shoufu

Chapter 9 Punishment of Slaves
Perhaps because she was too angry, Daiyu's voice was a little louder, and her cold tone made Zijuan panic.

"Girl, this servant is just...just worried that the girl will keep her filial piety for three years, and the relationship with Master Bao will gradually fade away..."

Zijuan thought to herself, if the marriage between the girl and the second master Bao came true as rumored in the Rongguo Mansion, then as the girl's personal maid, wouldn't it be possible for her to become an aunt.

But seeing that the Lin family's uncle is very against the Rongguo Mansion, he doesn't even plan to go back to Beijing with the girl, which is good.

Tonight she mustered up her courage and wanted to take the opportunity to persuade the girl, but she never expected to be reprimanded so severely by the girl.

"Girl, although Uncle Lin is your cousin, does he really care about you? To put it bluntly, the Lin family's family business should belong to you, but Uncle Lin controls the entire family, and still Slave servant, it's better for you to return to Beijing early and let your ancestors decide for you."

Zijuan tried her best, and even poured Lin Shu's dirty water on Daiyu based on the few words she heard, intending to provoke the relationship between the two brothers and sisters.

Daiyu in the inner room trembled with anger when she heard Zijuan's words. Zijuan thought that the silent Daiyu was moved by her words, and she was secretly happy.

She went on to say: "The servant girl heard that Uncle Lin has replaced all the old master's previous management, and that the Lin family will be completely controlled by him in the future, girl, that is what the master left for you. what should I do?"

Daiyu couldn't bear it anymore, how the Lin family's property was distributed, her father wrote clearly in the suicide note, and even wrote a letter to the palace, leaving a copy of the suicide note in the household department.

According to the suicide note, [-]% of the Lin family was reserved for himself, [-]% was inherited by his brother, the only male heir of the Lin family, and the remaining [-]% was dedicated to the court.

On the day of Dad's burial, in front of the elders of the family who were the same age as Dad, Brother explained clearly the distribution of the will and the family property, for fear that someone would talk about it.

She remembered clearly that her father's friend of the same year, Nanzhili inspector censor Fang Tongzhen had supervised the division of the family property, and her brother did not distribute according to her father's suicide note.

He left the best shops, farm buildings, antique calligraphy and paintings, and rare rare books to himself, which totaled no less than [-]% of his family property.

As for what Zijuan said about changing the steward, it was because of the [-]% dedicated to the imperial court, there were several farm shops that needed to be taken over by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Unexpectedly, in Zijuan's eyes, his elder brother would become a greedy villain who wanted to take over the Lin family's property.

The more Daiyu thought about it, the angrier she became, she sat up straight away, and yelled at the outside: "I know you have always hated my elder brother for scolding you that day, but don't forget, my elder brother is the head of the Lin family, and he just doesn't give me a cent. Well, that's also the matter of the master of the Lin family, and it's not your turn to make irresponsible remarks!"

boom……

Daiyu didn't even wear a coat, she got out of bed and wanted to go to see Wang Momo, but she bumped into the shelf in the room in a panic, and the vase placed on it fell to the ground and broke.

Grandma Wang, who lived next door, came in a hurry, and the snow geese who heard the noise also got up and chased after her.

By the faint light of the candle, Wang Momo saw that Daiyu was squatting on the ground covering her face and crying silently.

As for Zicuckoo, she was so frightened that she knelt down in front of the fragments of the vase and dared not move.

……

Jia Lian was invited to the front hall by Lin Shu in the middle of the night, and when he saw Zicuckoo kneeling at the door of the front hall, he felt bad in his heart.

"Cousin Lian, I'm really sorry to disturb my cousin's rest tonight. It's just that this Zijuan is a son of the Rongguo Mansion, so I can't deal with it directly, so I'd better ask Cousin Lian to make the decision."

After Jia Lian sat down, Lin Shu said bluntly: "My little brother knows that the masters of the Rongguo Mansion treat others with generosity, which makes these girls feel good. But the Lin family can't tolerate such servants who provoke the relationship between the masters..."

Jia Lian was taken aback by Lin Shu's words, to sow discord between master and son?Lin Shu and Daiyu are the masters of the Lin family. Could it be that Zijuan said something that shouldn't be said in front of Daiyu?

He hurriedly asked what happened, and Wang Momo, who was standing beside him, told the story in detail.

"Second Master Lian, the girl has a kind heart since she was a child. Even if she was so angry that she shed tears, she didn't want Zijuan to be punished by the uncle. If it wasn't for the old slave to ask, she might not have told this matter."

As soon as Nanny Wang finished speaking, Jia Lian, who was extremely ashamed, was furious on the spot, got up and walked out, kicking Zicuckoo.

"Okay, you are a lowly bastard, you can also talk about the master's affairs?"

With one kick, Zijuan was kicked directly in the chest by Jia Lian's anger, and fell to the ground, almost holding his breath.

Just as he was about to continue, Xueyan walked over with Daiyu in his arms: "Second Brother Lian, stop beating..."

"Why did my cousin come here? It's cool and dewy, don't get sick." Jia Lian stopped kicking at Zijuan's feet, and said apologetically, "It's because of the lax discipline in the mansion that made my cousin feel wronged and become an older brother." I will pay you here!"

After all, Jia Lian was about to make an apology to Daiyu, but was stopped by Lin Shu who walked out of the room: "Best relatives, there is no need to do this. Let's talk about it first."

Daiyu walked up to Zijuan who was curled up on the ground, and said to Xueyan: "Take her down first, let the doctor in the mansion show you..."

Afterwards, without looking at Zijuan again, she walked into the front hall supported by Wang Momo.

Xueyan stayed behind, she sighed and helped Zijuan up: "Sister Zijuan, are you okay?"

Zijuan clutched her chest, with tears in her eyes, she shook her head silently.

"You shouldn't say those things to the girl. You haven't seen how the uncle doted on the girl when she was a child. It's not like siblings at all. Instead, it's raising a daughter. No, it's more pampering than raising a daughter."

Xueyan supported Zijuan and walked slowly towards the backyard. Zijuan turned her head from time to time to look in the direction of the front hall.She knew that if she left, she might never be able to return to Daiyu's side again.And her dream of being Bao's second grandpa and aunt will also become farther and farther away.

……

"I'll find someone to sell this Zijuan tomorrow..." Jia Lian expressed his opinion to Lin Shu and his sister as soon as they entered the room.

But Daiyu shook her head, she couldn't see these things: "Second brother Lian, send someone to take her back, she was sent to me by my grandmother, let her go back to serve my grandmother."

Jia Lian looked at Lin Shu in embarrassment, only to see that Lin Shu was expressionless and had no intention of speaking at all.

Thinking that Zijuan was indeed the girl next to his grandmother, he really couldn't be the master, so he had to sigh helplessly.

Ugh……

"Then as my cousin said, I will send her back to Beijing tomorrow. I am really ashamed of my cousin for making you suffer so much."

At this moment, Lin Shu suddenly said, "Second Brother Lian, my father's funeral is over, why don't you go back to Beijing as soon as possible. There are no major affairs at home for the time being, but the Rongguo Mansion cannot be separated from my cousin's management..."

"elder brother……"

"Why did my cousin say that? Is it because my brother failed to manage his servants well?"

Daiyu screamed, brother's move is very disrespectful.

In Jia Lian's mind, this was a manifestation of Lin Shu blaming the Rongguo Mansion and wanting to distance himself from the Jia family.
