[My brother-in-law suddenly arrived and delayed me for more than an hour.]

If you want to ask why the jade bracelet is here, you have to start from yesterday.

After receiving the reward from Mrs. Wang and sending away Zhou Rui's family, Bai's father and Bai's mother actually discussed going to the mansion to kowtow to Mrs. Wang to thank her. The Bai family's sister-in-law tried her best to flatter her, which only made Yuchai very angry.

.

But after all, she is a soft-spoken person, so no matter how much she opposes, it will be of no use.

In the afternoon, she and her father and brother stayed at the mourning hall and sat on the mourning mat. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became and her heart grew colder.

Because her elder sister was quite respectable in the house, she was always the most favored by her parents. Yuchuan once felt jealous because of this, and felt that her elder sister was the only one who cared about her parents. Who would have thought that even now, she can't escape the situation of being taken away from her.

If one day I also die without knowing it...

When his heart was full of sorrow, Si Qi, Xiangling Xiangling was ordered to deliver the memorial ceremony.

They probably knew that Mrs. Wang had previously rewarded fifty taels of silver. The memorial ceremony they brought only had thirty taels of silver, and the rest was folded into six pieces of white silk and fifty kilograms of pork and mutton each.

Relatives and friends all over the yard, who had seen each other before, all said that the two sisters were very grand, but one was honored after death, and the other was decent during life, and the former was obviously not as good as the latter.

Yuchai received the memorial ceremony in public, and when he heard the comments around him, his heart suddenly became very tense, and he no longer felt as cold and miserable as before.

He secretly thought that his father, brother, sister-in-law were all unreliable, and he would really have to point his finger at Uncle Jiao for the rest of his life!

With this in mind, she simply took the name of Xie En and followed Siqi and Xiangling back to Jiao's house. They stayed at Lianzhan in the east chamber until nightfall, just waiting for Jiao Shun to come back and express their feelings.

After Jiao Shun left the office, all he could think about was the meeting with Xue Baochai tomorrow. Not to mention the gold and jade necklace, he even forgot about Wang Xifeng.

It wasn't until he entered the door and saw the jade bracelet in mourning clothes, falling at his feet with tears in his eyes, that he remembered that someone had died in the morning.

He stretched out his hand to lift the jade bracelet up, and looking at her wrapped in white clothes, 'Jiao' unconsciously moved her index finger. Her heart was full of the human struggle of 'people can't, at least shouldn't...' and 'while it's hot...'.

Just at this time, a report came from outside that Mrs. Wang had sent someone.

Jiao Shun finally gave up his arrogant and lewd thoughts, and signaled Yuchai to retreat to the south room first, and then summoned the servant girl who came to deliver the message.

I originally thought this was to inform him of the time and place to meet tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, after the maid came in, she said that her wife was too sad about Jin Chuan's death, so she canceled tomorrow's consultation.

This is also human nature. Jiao Shun didn't doubt anything at first and just casually asked how long it would be postponed.

The servant girl shook her head and said she didn't know.

Jiao Shun didn't ask any more questions and planned to wait two days before making further calculations.

But Yu Chuan listened next door and knew that things were not that simple.

As soon as the servant girl left, she told the uncle about Jin Chuan's message and Baoyu's night run.

Only then did Jiao Shun realize that things had changed.

At that moment, he seemed to hate Jia Baoyu so much that he paced back and forth in the room angrily. He gritted his teeth and said angrily: "What a good second master Baoyu, thank you for being so courteous to him all the time! Since he is eating and looking at the bowl

He ruined my good deeds in the pot, so don’t blame me for ruining his iron rice bowl!"

So he left the jade bracelet at home for the night, and asked her to stay on the road that Lin Daiyu must pass in the morning, just waiting for Sister Lin to show up, and then carry out the plan of draining fuel from the bottom of the cauldron!

…………

But when Lin Daiyu saw that the jade bracelet was blocking the way, she was puzzled and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her: "I have heard about your sister. It's all good. Who would have imagined that such an accident would happen..."

Before he finished speaking, Yuchai suddenly knelt down and grabbed his head from the ground, crying: "Girl, my sister died unjustly!"

Lin Daiyu was startled, remembering Baoyu's behavior yesterday, and knew that there must be something hidden in it.

However, although she was curious, she also knew that it was difficult to wade through this muddy water.

What's more, that Jin Chuan is a confidant of Mrs. Wang, who has never been very close to me, and is even vaguely hostile. If in order to avenge her, it would bring trouble to herself and even Baoyu, wouldn't it mean that the relatives will hate the enemies and the enemies will be happy?

At that moment, Sister Lin took half a step back, and said with a cold face: "Young lady, do you think I am Master Qingtian? If you really have any grievances to complain about, there is a master and his wife in this mansion, and there is Shuntian Mansion Yamen outside, where can you not get justice?"

Why bother to embarrass a weak woman like me? It's better to get up quickly and save some dignity for each of us."

Lin Daiyu said, pretending to leave.

But Yu Chuan's next words put her on the spot.

Just listen to Yuchai cry: "I am not looking for the girl to complain, I am just afraid that the girl will be like my sister and be kept in the dark until she dies!"

Lin Daiyu turned around and looked at the jade bracelet suspiciously, then carefully probed: "What does this mean? Tell me..."

Before she could finish her words, Yuchuan stood up on his own and said mysteriously in a low voice: "It's not convenient here. Miss, please follow me to find a secluded place to talk."

Without waiting for Sister Lin to react, she went into the bamboo forest not far away.

Lin Daiyu hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but followed her and said with a straight face: "If you dare to tease me, I won't let Sister Xing treat you!"

"How dare I tease a girl? It was just yesterday..."

Yuchuan saw that she had fallen into the trap, so he stopped pursuing the lawsuit and directly told the facts about Jiao Shun's deletion and processing.

In general, there are not many changes, except that Jin Chuan's deep love is highlighted, and the fact that she went there specifically to tell the truth is said to be urging Bao Yu to please others, and she accidentally let it slip.

"Who would think of Bao? When the second master heard that his wife was going to marry the girl to our uncle, he felt like he was going crazy. He wanted to go to his wife and object to the marriage face to face."

"No matter how hard my sister begs, Second Master Bao doesn't care..."

"Later, my sister was kicked out by her wife and asked to marry someone as soon as possible - but my sister just lost her virginity to Mr. Bao. If she really marries someone else, how will she prove her innocence to her husband's family in the future?"

"I had no choice but to beg Second Master Bao to give me a way to survive. Who would have thought that she would be gone and never come back!"

"The house said they slipped and fell into the water, but my sister obviously went to find Second Master Bao. How precious is Second Master Bao, why would he wait for her by the well?"

All kinds of details highlight Jia Baoyu's ruthlessness, and in the end it even reflects that he is suspected of murder!

Lin Daiyu naturally did not believe that Baoyu would kill someone with her own hands, but...

Thinking of Baoyu crying yesterday that he had killed Jin Chuan, Jin Chuan's death was obviously inseparable from him.

But these are not important.

The most important thing is that Baoyu actually killed the infatuated Jin Chuan because he opposed Baochai and Jiao Shun's marriage!

No wonder he hesitated yesterday and refused to tell himself the truth!

No wonder some of the attackers looked clearly on their faces, but some of them said they didn't know what was going on!

No wonder Yuchuan said she was afraid that she would be like her sister and be kept in the dark even when she was about to die!

But it turns out...

He really was thinking about that golden match!

Everything you say and do is just deceiving yourself!

For a moment, Lin Daiyu felt as if a pair of red-hot iron pliers had been stuffed into her chest, tightly clamping her heart, as if she wanted to cut that exquisite heart with seven orifices into sections, crush it into powder, and then burn it to ashes.

!

She opened her mouth slightly to say something, but her throat was so sweet that she spat out a mouth full of blood mist with a pop, then threw her head back and fell down like a piece of rotten wood!

"Miss Lin!"

Yuchai was startled and hurriedly stretched out his hand to support her, but saw that Sister Lin had her eyes closed tightly and was already unconscious.

Yuchai was really panicking at this moment, secretly thinking that Miss Lin wouldn't just die like that, would she?

He wanted to ask someone to carry her back for investigation, but he was afraid of being accused of killing Lin Daiyu, so he gritted his teeth and simply left Sister Lin in the bamboo forest, and hurried back to Jiao's house to report the news.

When Jiao Shun received the report, his heart was in his throat.

He sent a jade bracelet to find Lin Daiyu, firstly he wanted to take revenge on Jia Baoyu for ruining his marriage, and secondly he wanted to see if he could take advantage of Jia Baoyu's corner.

Who could have imagined that Lin Daiyu fainted on the spot...

In this winter, a delicate and frail woman, she was already so angry that her heart was broken. If she caught the cold again, she might die on the spot!

I have the intention to go to the rescue, but I am also worried that I will be implicated in the consequences.

Fortunately, he is not a jade bracelet after all, and he still has the skills and connections to use.

Immediately, I revised a letter and asked Xiangling to send it to Ningguo Mansion.

Not long after, I heard that You sent Yindie to visit Jia Baoyu. He didn't want to run into Sister Lin who was unconscious on the ground, so he called for someone to send her home for treatment.

Jiao Shun finally felt relieved and arranged for Xing Xiuyan to visit.

In the evening, Xing Xiuyan, whose eyes were red, returned home and said that although Sister Lin had woken up, she was as silent as a wooden sculpture, neither eating nor drinking.

First Baoyu fell ill, and then Daiyu fell. It was like hurting two pieces of Jia Mu's heart, and the old lady also fell ill.

Now the whole house is in chaos.

When Jiao Shun heard the news, he felt happy, but he was also worried that Daiyu's beauty would fade away, so he asked Xing Xiuyan to find the supplements and medicinal materials sent from the south, select the ones that were suitable for the disease and precious, and sent them all.

Xing Xiuyan was a little confused before, but now he couldn't hold it anymore and reminded in a roundabout way: "Tomorrow you will have to discuss the mortgage loan with the Xue family. Now..."

"Don't mention this again."

Jiao Shun raised his hand and said angrily: "My marriage with Miss Xue has been ruined by Jia Baoyu a long time ago!"

He knew that with Xing Xiuyan's intelligence, blindly deceiving him would only have the opposite effect, so he told Xing Xiuyan the cause and effect of the deletion, and said: "Yuchuan hated him for killing his sister, and he begged him repeatedly.

I helped avenge him, and he happened to ruin my marriage, so I just went with the flow..."

Having said this, he shook his head helplessly: "I didn't expect that I almost killed Miss Lin."

Only then did Xing Xiuyan suddenly realize.

No wonder that Jin Chuan died inexplicably, and Jia Baoyu fell ill again inexplicably.

But then she had another question, so she cautiously probed: "So, I am just trying to make up for it because I feel uneasy?"

"Is this..."

Jiao Shun looked at Xing Xiuyan's expression and knew that she had probably guessed something, so he simply said: "On the one hand, making up for it, on the other hand, he is also thinking that since Jia Baoyu is thinking about Miss Xue, he will not delay Lin anymore."

A girl’s truth.”

After saying that, he said sternly: "I really like that Sister Lin has a clear sense of grudges and daring to do anything. I pity her even more for being lonely and helpless and having no one to rely on."

Although he had already speculated about it, Jiao Shun's method of exchanging stolen goods still made Xing Xiuyantan's mouth slightly open, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.

As for Jiao Shun's statement that he liked Daiyu, she only believed half of it and was not very optimistic about it.

After hesitating again and again, he couldn't help but remind him again: "Miss Lin and Mr. Bao have lived and ate together since they were children. The friendship between childhood sweethearts..."

"It's because we were childhood sweethearts that I was hurt more deeply!" Jiao Shun interrupted her and said righteously: "I am actually saving Miss Lin's life. Otherwise, if I spare Baoyu this time, I will be afraid next time.

It will hurt her heart even more!"

Hearing this, Xing Xiuyan couldn't help but look a little strange, and reminded him: "Sir, don't you still want to do both work in the future?"

Even if Baoyu is carefree, how can his uncle be any better? It is not an exaggeration to say that he is half a catty!

"This is different."

Unexpectedly, Jiao Shun said confidently: "Miss Lin is infatuated with Baoyu, but she may not be so affectionate towards me - they say the love is so deep that it will last forever. Since the affection is not that deep, the hurt is naturally not so serious."

Xing Xiuyan was speechless for a moment.

But although this is a fallacy, it does make sense if you think about it carefully.

Jiao Shun saw that she had relaxed a little, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "We have been together these days, and you know what kind of person I am. If I really marry her, I will naturally not treat her harshly!"

"The master and his wife are even more philanthropic. Since she is an official, the upright rich lady will never embarrass her."

"In addition, we have a good sister like you as the head of the house. The people here are harmonious, isn't it better than the intrigues in the Rongguo Mansion?!"

It's not that Xing Xiuyan can't refute these words, but no matter how kind she is, no matter how hard she contacts Lin Daiyu, she can only sit on Jiao Shun, so how can she question him again and again?

What's more, it was indeed Jia Baoyu who instigated this matter. Jiao Shun retaliated with tooth for tooth, and Jade Chai took revenge, which is human nature.

So Xing Xiuyan sighed slightly and said helplessly: "I have told you so much, but what do you want me to do from it?"

Jiao Shun chuckled, stepped forward and took Xing Xiuyan into his arms, rubbing his ears and temples and said: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you. You have been paying more attention to her recently. When she accepts your love, you can secretly leak something about this -

You might as well let Siqi come, she is always outspoken and straightforward, so it's not surprising that she slips out what I'm thinking."

"Miss Lin may not be able to accept it at first, but at least provide her with another choice besides Baoyu, and then we can subtlety..."

"Then there are Zijuan and Xueyan. They are Miss Lin's confidants. If they can be persuaded to defect, it will be even more powerful. It just so happens that the maids can relate most to the issue of the golden necklace."

"You can let Yuchai often complain about Baoyu's lack of affection in their ears, and then use Qingwen as an example when appropriate..."

"If this method is effective, I will choose one from Siqi, Xiangling, and Jade to be my aunt - of course, I will definitely not be able to surpass you - as the saying goes, a thousand gold buys horse bones, then we will see if they are tempted!"

"

"There is no need to rush into this. After all, Miss Lin is still young, and our yard will not be completed for another year or two."

After listening to his uncle's long speech, it was obvious that he had already made up his mind. Xing Xiuyan secretly smiled bitterly, knowing that he could not shirk this matter.
Chapter completed!
