Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

Chapter 654: Sister Feng wants to find out the truth, Xichun welcomes guests

"Girl, Wang Xifeng is here!"

Before Daiyu left, Lu Yi suddenly spoke.

Daiyu and Xichun were stunned, then Xichun rubbed her eyebrows and felt a headache. She knew that Second Madam Lian might have suspected her.

They are not stupid people. Wang Xifeng certainly did not come here to drink tea. If she had not discovered something unusual, why would she come here?

Lu Yi hesitated for a while, and couldn't help asking, "Do you want to see me?"

Jia Hong had been moved to the secret room by them, and the things in the room had already been packed up. Even if Wang Xifeng came in, she would definitely not find any problems.

Xichun thought for a moment and nodded. She raised her hands above her head and stretched them hard. Her small body was still growing, but she had not left the room for a long time, and her body was a little stiff. She thought that today was an opportunity. If she continued like this, she was afraid that it would not only be Wang Xifeng who would be suspected.

"Then let's meet!"

"So that the one who saves you will not feel at ease"

After what happened, if he insisted on not meeting her, Wang Xifeng might become suspicious. She was quite reliable in her daily work, but he could not guarantee that the maids around her were also reliable. If something bad was spread out, it would attract unnecessary attention and all efforts would be wasted.

Daiyu felt a little embarrassed, but she didn't know the reason and didn't know what to say.

Xichun seemed to guess what Daiyu was thinking, and she shook her head gently.

"Things are unpredictable. This matter is not Sister Lin's fault. In addition, Sister Lin needs me to come to my place on weekdays, which will naturally attract the attention of Sister-in-law Lian. Fortunately, Brother Hong has recovered a lot from his injuries and can walk around. It's no big deal to meet him!"

"And I should go out for a walk. If I stay any longer, not only will Sister-in-law Lian be suspicious, but I'm afraid the ladies and sisters in the mansion will also be curious."

Daiyu felt a little relieved when she heard this and nodded gently. There is no wall that is impenetrable and truth cannot be hidden. She had heard Jia Hong say that the current situation in the capital was extremely complicated and he didn't have much time left.

The more you try to cover up some things, the worse the effect will be. She often heard Li Wan say this: everything is excessive or insufficient, and everything has a limit. The most important thing they need to grasp when doing things is to balance this limit.

What Xichun meant by saying this was that the girls in the mansion would catch cold once or twice a year, which was a normal phenomenon. Of course, this did not mean that they were in poor health, but that in this era, diseases like colds could be contracted if one was not careful.

Just like Qingwen, who went to the door to look at the moon without putting on any clothes at night and caught a cold.

So for Xichun catching a cold was not a big deal. Even for her, she would have a headache and fever for a few days a year, and everyone was used to it.

There is also the old lady, that is, Grandmother Jia, who has lived to this age and knows a lot. When the weather is hot, she often advises everyone not to seek coolness. But when the weather is really hot, she can't help but ask the maid to bring two basins of ice into the house to cool off. This is human nature.

As for the outside world, people say that catching a cold can kill half of your life. These words refer to poor people who cannot afford a doctor or medicine and can only rely on their own bodies to get through it. Naturally, their vitality will be greatly damaged, as if they have lost half of their life.

Now, after such a long period of time, even if Xichun was weak, she should be better now, so it is a wise choice to meet Wang Xifeng at this time. Firstly, this is the source of Wang Xifeng's suspicion of herself. If she sees the truth this time, the doubts in her heart will go away, and she will naturally not doubt anything in the future.

Secondly, the capital is now in a state of panic, with people seeing enemies everywhere. Although the situation is temporarily suppressed by the Imperial Guards and soldiers from the camp outside the capital, chaos is still common in the capital. This shows that people are uneasy right now, and many people are trying to fish in troubled waters.

To be honest, the two mansions of the Jia family, both outside and inside, were watched by countless eyes. I'm afraid that any slight movement in the mansion would be known to everyone in the capital within the morning. If Xichun continued to stay in bed sick, such a thing would definitely spread, and if it fell into the ears of someone with ulterior motives, he would definitely be suspicious.

“It’s time to go out for a walk”

Daiyu sighed. She admired Xichun very much, a girl who was younger than her.

If it were someone else who was responsible for Jia Hong’s incident, even Baochai might not have the courage to hide him, let alone hide him in her own boudoir.

Once this matter is leaked, anyone who is not a fool will know what the consequences will be.

Therefore, Xichun hid the person and kept the matter secret, not letting anyone else know. She felt anxious just thinking about how much pressure this would require.

"Green Yi."

  Xichun cast another look at the maid beside her, as if she was trying to confirm something.

Lu Yi then nodded.

"Let Ruhua accompany the girl out later. I won't go."

Xichun understood and nodded slightly. Daiyu's eyes moved and she guessed what she meant. Xichun was worried that if Jia Hong stayed, something unexpected would happen. When Luyi said she couldn't leave, she actually meant that she would stay and protect Jia Hong personally.

"Then I'll go down first."

Lu Yi did not hesitate. Since she had chosen to stay, it would be better for her not to let Wang Xifeng see her coming, so that Xichun could deal with it more easily.

"Go!"

Xichun nodded.

At this time, there was a noise outside the door, and it turned out that Wang Xifeng had walked into the courtyard.

"Where are your girls? The two little hooves only know how to play outside and don't know how to serve their master. If something happens to the two little ancestors later, I will sell you out!!!"

"No way!! The girl asked us to come out!!"

Ruhua is still young, and is like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger. In addition, she has been with Xichun for a long time, so she is not very afraid of Fengjie. As long as Xichun does not say anything about whether she stays or leaves, no one in the mansion dares to do anything to her.

Feng Jieer had naturally guessed why the two maids were outside, so she didn't bother with Ruhua. She then said, "Go and tell them that the imperial physician will be here soon. These two little ancestors are not a worry at all."

When they met before, Feng Jieer told the old lady to ask the imperial physician from the palace to come again. This was not just a casual remark. Since she planned to come and find out the truth, she would naturally not be without any preparation.

"Sister Feng, since you are here, please come in and sit down!"
