Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

Chapter 649: Ping Er loses consciousness, Feng Jieer becomes suspicious

"Ping'er, did you convey your message?"

It was more than half an hour since Fengjie finished the work assigned by Lady Jia. When Ping'er came late, she thought something had gone wrong.

Ping'er was thinking about what happened with Xichun before and was a little distracted. Although Lin Daiyu also replied, she always felt that something was wrong.

Everyone in the mansion knew that Xichun had caught typhoid fever. Besides, since this young lady had a bad temper, none of the servants in the mansion dared to cause trouble there. Of course, perhaps those maids and old women hoped that this young lady would be more honest and not cause trouble for them, and they would be very lucky in that case.

In other words, not many people in the mansion knew what was going on with Xichun during this period. Only a few people knew about it, including the maids who served her, Lin Daiyu, and the imperial physician in the palace.

The others learned the news from them. Actually, it was nothing. The girl in the mansion had caught a cold and needed to rest. This was a common practice. Even the morning and evening visits were usually waived.

But just now, she suddenly felt that the fourth young lady in the mansion seemed to be hiding some secret. This feeling came suddenly. Just before, Ruhua said that the young lady was in a bad mood because the typhoid fever had not improved until now, and she asked Daiyu to come here to enlighten her.

The relationship between Daiyu and Xichun was very good at the beginning, even she could see it, but now it is not the same as before. Ever since Lin Daiyu left the Marquis' Mansion and Jia Hong broke off the engagement with her, the young lady no longer likes her very much.

When we meet on weekdays, we don’t even say hello, let alone say anything nice to each other.

When it comes to comforting people, Ping'er feels that even asking Fengjie to come over would be better than Daiyu. It is precisely this contradiction that creates awkwardness and makes Ping'er feel that something is not right.

However, Ping'er was a smart girl. Although she noticed it, she did not react on the spot. The two girls involved here were Lin Daiyu and Jia Xichun, neither of whom could be offended by her as a maid.

Even her master, Wang Xifeng, could not be provoked. Based on the principle of less trouble is worse than more, Ping'er did not intend to investigate further.

It's just women's nature. The more mysterious something is, the more curious they become.

So on the way back, Ping'er was wondering what happened to Xichun? And what happened between Daiyu and Xichun? Why was she willing to help Xichun hide all this?

It was not until she saw Wang Xifeng that Ping'er came to her senses a little.

"It has been passed on. Miss Lin said that everything will be arranged by the old lady. As for the fourth lady, she is not well yet. She just responded and then there was no movement."

"Have you seen those two girls?"

Feng Jieer was stunned. Even when she went there in person last time, she didn't see Xichun, but only saw Daiyu. She didn't think that Xichun would be willing to listen to Ping'er's nonsense.

"without"

Ping'er looked a little embarrassed. She didn't see the two girls at all. She was just talking to them through the door.

"The fourth girl is still not well and doesn't like to see people. I just talked to the other two girls outside the door."

Feng Jieer's mouth twitched, and she wondered why Xichun had changed her personality today and actually met Ping'er, this little bitch.

"Miss Lin is there too?"

Feng Jieer was silent for a while, her eyes flickered twice, and then she opened her mouth and asked another question.

Ping'er just thought that Fengjie was trying to confirm whether she had actually gone to Daiyu's place, so she didn't doubt it. After thinking for a while, she replied, "To answer your question, madam, Miss Lin went there early in the morning, and by the time I went there, it should have been some time." When Fengjie heard this, she didn't know what she thought of, and suddenly stood up.

She walked back and forth in the room and suddenly said, "Ping'er, when Miss Lin answered you, did she sound flustered, or was she always calm and indifferent, as if she was listening to the gossip of the family?"

Hearing this, Ping'er was stunned for a moment, and then she began to think about what Wang Xifeng meant.

She is not a stupid person. It is not difficult to guess what Wang Xifeng meant by what she said. There are two main ideas. Lin Daiyu went to Xichun early in the morning. She must have received the news from the Lin Mansion, so she went to Xichun. In fact, she went to Xichun not to relieve her boredom, but to discuss a retreat.

If this is the case, then Daiyu would definitely not show shock, because she already knew the news before she went there. If this is the case, then who would have passed on the news? ?

The servants around Daiyu are generally not responsible for going out to buy things. Generally speaking, those people never leave the house. Since they never leave the house, it means that they cannot be exposed to news from outside the house.

It is now clear who brought the news.

Naturally, it was the news from the Lin Mansion. As the prime minister of the cabinet, Lin Ruhai must have received the news earlier than the others. It was also human nature for him to secretly send someone to pass the message to his daughter and let her find a way to avoid disaster in advance.

The second is whether Daiyu and Xichun have come up with a solution. If they still have no solution, they will definitely not appear calm. Knowing something does not mean that it can be handled properly. Generally speaking, if there is no plan in mind, the words will not be as steady as a rock.

Having roughly guessed what Sister Feng meant, Ping'er shook her head slightly in her heart.

Seeing the big picture from the small details is very useful for ordinary things, but it may not be applicable to the current situation.

Let’s not talk about whether Lin Ruhai really received the news about the Prince of Dongping’s rebellion and attack on the capital. Even if he really received the news, would Lin Ruhai pass the news to Daiyu without authorization instead of directly sending someone to pick her up?

Another question is whether the two girls have really thought of a good way to avoid disaster, and even if there is a way, are they willing to take them with them? Can the two girls make this decision?

On the Lin Mansion's side is Lin Ruhai, the current prime minister of the court. Although this son-in-law seems easy to talk to on weekdays, when it really comes to a life-and-death moment, it is actually unknown whether he is willing to help the Jia Mansion.

Behind Xichun is the Guanjun Marquis Mansion. Now that Jia Hong is not here, the person in charge is Cai Luan. This girl is not Jia Hong and has no feelings for the Jia Mansion. Compared with the Lin Mansion, the possibility here is even lower.

"Grandma, what you mean is that Miss Lin received the news early in the morning, and she went to Miss Xichun not to enlighten her, but to discuss countermeasures?"

Feng Jieer rolled her eyes at Ping'er. If she had been there, she would have said a few more words. But Ping'er just delivered the message and went straight back.

Then she nodded. This was no small matter and she had no choice but to be cautious. After all, the men in the mansion were not capable of standing up. If she relied on her husband Jia Lian, it would be too late.

"You're not that stupid, but it's not a good idea to go over there right now. Let's do this for now! Ask a little girl to keep an eye on the fourth young lady, and report to me immediately if there's any disturbance!!"

Ping'er's eyes twitched when she heard this.

What Feng Jieer said sounded nice, but she might have forgotten that there was a great master hiding on Xichun's side. If those little girls dared to go there, they would probably have gone straight into the pool.

"Grandma, there is a girl named Luyi beside the fourth girl."
