Chapter 941: Dream of the Red Chamber, Lin Daiyu (104)
Before the old lady could stop them.
Jia She turned and left with Lin Ruhai.
They completely disregarded what the old lady might think.
They left.
The remaining people didn't know what to say.
The atmosphere was somber and oppressive.
For a while.
Grandmother Jia forced herself to cheer up.
Perhaps it was because they lost face.
Perhaps they knew Lin Ruhai was unwilling to talk about Jia Min.
Grandmother Jia, who was in a bad mood, did not want to continue chatting with them.
He simply told them to find somewhere to stay on their own.
It can be said that a large group of people were driven out of the old lady's courtyard.
Wang Xifeng and Li Wan looked at each other and smiled.
They have few things to do.
No one really had the heart to try and make Grandmother Jia happy.
As for Li Siqi and Xu Ruxin, mother and son, they followed Madam Xing to the main room.
The entire house was incredibly lively.
Today, Jia Cong is in high spirits; it is definitely a highlight of his life.
He went out with his brothers to fetch the bride.
The process of getting married is not simple.
It would take at least an hour or two to bring the bride back.
Taking advantage of this break, Li Siqi was pulled to Yingchun's courtyard.
When Li Siqi arrived here, she realized that there were quite a lot of people there.
Although most of the faces were familiar, there were still some people I didn't recognize.
Compared to people you don't know well.
Li Siqi's attention was drawn to Xue Baochai.
It has to be said that this woman is quite shrewd; her affair with Jia Lian has not yet been discovered.
I don't know if everyone was too careless or if they never even considered that Xue Baochai would be spying on her own cousin-in-law.
She continued to thrive in the Jia family.
I just don't know when it will be exposed.
"Ms. Lin, what's the matter?"
Upon noticing Li Siqi's gaze, Xue Baochai felt inexplicably flustered.
It's as if the other party knows something.
"It's been a while since I've seen Miss Xue."
Li Siqi smiled faintly, "Looking at you today, I think Miss Xue seems to have become even more beautiful."
I couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Miss Xue, please forgive me!
"Miss Lin, you're welcome."
Xue Baochai smiled, unsure how to respond.
Hearing their conversation, Jia Yingchun and the others couldn't help but glance at Xue Baochai a few times.
"Sister Bao looks much better."
Jia Xichun bluntly stated, "It was as if we had encountered some great joy."
"Yes."
Shi Xiangyun nodded in agreement, "Anyone who doesn't know the situation would think that Sister Bao has gotten engaged."
She looks like a bride-to-be no matter how you look at her.
The others agreed with what the two said.
After all, they had all spent several years with Xue Baochai, and everyone was used to her polite smile, though a hint of melancholy lingered between her brows.
It's fair to say that you rarely see her smile from the heart.
It's different now.
There was a feeling that his whole body was radiating joy.
No wonder Shi Xiangyun said she looked like a bride-to-be.
"Sister Bao, has some good news happened that we don't know about?"
Jia Yingchun was a little surprised, but she said jokingly, "Tell us quickly, what's the good news?"
"You have misunderstood."
Under the scrutiny of everyone, Xue Baochai managed to remain calm.
The smile on her face still looked gentle, but a closer look would reveal a hint of unnaturalness.
She said softly, "Isn't today a wedding day?"
Don't talk about me, you're all the same.
Everyone was beaming with joy.
"That's true."
Jia Yuanchun agreed with her explanation, and seeing Li Siqi smiling, she added, "I didn't expect that Cousin Yu'er would also care so much about Cousin Baochai."
None of us noticed that.
"Maybe I'm just too bored."
Li Siqi casually replied, "I accidentally discovered that Miss Xue is not quite the same as before."
He thought Miss Xue was simply in high spirits because of a happy occasion.
The saying goes, "A person is in high spirits when good things happen."
This gave Xue Baochai a huge fright.
If she hadn't always been able to control her emotions, she would have given herself away by now.
She forced a smile and said, "Miss Lin, you flatter me."
"Wow, it's so lively here, girls!"
Wang Xifeng appeared out of nowhere.
Upon seeing these lovely guests before him, he beamed and said, "I could hear my sisters laughing and talking from afar."
"Hurry up and tell me what you're all talking about."
"nothing."
Li Siqi responded with a smile, "I just said that Miss Xue looked 'in high spirits because of a happy occasion.' That's all."
"Really?"
Wang Xifeng found this somewhat puzzling.
She couldn't help but look at Xue Baochai as well.
Xue Baochai, who was preoccupied with her own affairs, was now facing Wang Xifeng, the person in question.
He instantly looked guilty and didn't dare to meet her gaze, replying softly, "It's a happy occasion today, everyone's the same, everyone's the same."
"Yes, it's a happy occasion today!"
Wang Xifeng naturally didn't miss her guilty look.
A sense of doubt crept into her heart, but she remained outwardly calm, smiling and saying, "Everyone's just sharing in the joy..."
The topic naturally veered off to other things.
Little Pot laughed uncontrollably, "Master, Xue Baochai is about to be scared to death."
She thought she'd been exposed!
"If we don't expose it now, it will be exposed sooner or later."
Li Siqi's smile was somewhat malicious. "Today was like planting a time bomb for her."
When the thunder explodes.
Wang Xifeng would naturally understand what was going on.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Little Pot laughed wildly, "When Wang Xifeng remembers what happened today, she will only hate and resent her even more."
"The path you choose, you must walk to the end, even if you have to crawl on your knees."
Li Siqi responded, "She chose this path, and she will bear whatever she faces in the future."
"Actually, she really didn't need to fight to the death at Rongguo Mansion."
Xiao Huzi said, "Actually, she's not stupid. As long as she does business seriously, she has her uncle Wang Ziteng backing her up."
She could easily become a wealthy businesswoman on her own.
Then she would choose a man of good character to marry.
As long as she has substantial family wealth, she won't have to live at the mercy of her in-laws.
It's much better than being someone's concubine.
"She was simply limiting her thinking because of her own family's predicament."
Li Siqi responded calmly, "I always felt that the tragedy of the Xue family was because the Xue family was not strong enough. The Xue family had no power or influence and could not protect their own family members."
She never considered that the tragedy of the Xue family was mainly because her parents had ruined Xue Pan.
If Xue Pan is nurtured and can become the pillar of the Xue family after her father's death.
Even if the Xue family's business is divided up, Xue Pan can still retain a portion because he is the young master.
If Xue Pan were to prove himself, with the resources and connections left to him by his father, he would eventually be able to support the Xue family.
It was precisely because the Xue family only had Xue Pan as their son that they raised him to be a useless person.
Instead of helping the Xue family prosper, they brought trouble upon themselves time and time again.
It's no wonder that the Xue family was torn apart by him.
This is not a fate that the Xue family could avoid simply because of their power and influence.
There are many powerful and influential families in the world. If they do not cultivate the next generation of pillars of society, they will eventually collapse and be swallowed up by others, just like the Xue family.
Xue Baochai hasn't figured this out yet.
She always thought that if she married into a powerful and wealthy family, she could protect the Xue family and ensure their safety and happiness.
It has to be said that her idea was both naive and foolish.
