Everyone understood,
Those who bought less than 40% of the shares wouldn't be able to see the update for the time being...
Lady Wang's knees went soft and she knelt down,
She looked at mother Jia and said, "Ancestor,
Your daughter-in-law has put in a lot of effort,
It's all for our Empress!
Even if girl Qin is still considered my relative, I don't care,
Was there anything wrong with that?
Your daughter-in-law is just thinking that if she loses her reputation, maybe..,
It will make His Majesty dislike her and not let her enter the palace.
In this way..,
Isn't it just getting rid of a big enemy for our Empress? "
Mother Jia looked at her muddle-headed daughter-in-law,
She said in disappointment, "You, you, you're really blinded by fat.
When His Majesty really cares about someone,
Don't say that it doesn't cover up the ugly reputation of jade at all,
So what if her reputation is ruined?
She will still enter the palace,
She will still be favored by the emperor.
Instead of making an enemy for the Empress, it's better to be on good terms with our family as soon as possible,
This is what a smart person should do! "
Lady Wang was still unwilling to accept it in her heart,
But Mother Jia was her mother-in-law after all,
Filial piety was the most important thing,
She did not dare to openly go against her wishes,
She could only reluctantly agree.
But deep in her heart..,
Towards that Xue Baoqin..,
She already hated her to the core.
Xue Baoqin did not take this small setback to heart and continued to live her life as usual.
Every day, she would read books and embroider with Baochai or discuss poetry and painting with Daiyu. It was quite leisurely and carefree.
As for Jia Tanchun, although she specially came to Hengwu garden to apologize, Xue Baoqin did not plan to pay attention to her anymore.
This was a vicious venomous snake. It was hard to say when it would jump out and bite you.
If she continued to befriend her, wouldn't there be something wrong with her?
Baochai was originally worried that Baoqin would be in a bad mood if she did not enter the palace for a while, or that she would feel sorry for herself or something.
But seeing that this cousin of hers lived a very comfortable life every day, without any signs of anxiety or uneasiness, she felt relieved.
Deep in her heart, she also admired Baoqin.
She knew that if she were in Baoqin's position, she wouldn't be able to be as calm as Baoqin.
She now had a deeper understanding of this cousin of hers.
She was more confident about the future of the Xue family.
With Baoqin's looks and temperament, she felt that it wouldn't be difficult for him to fly to a branch and occupy it for a long time.
Therefore, she and Aunt Xue did their best to discipline the Xue Pan.
After all, it was impossible to support a family without a man.
One day, Baoqin went to the Xiaoxiang Restaurant to visit Daiyu, but he saw her with tears on her face, staring blankly at the parrot in the corridor.
Baoqin walked over and asked, "What's wrong?
Why is she crying again?
Depression hurts the liver. Why can't I listen to you?
And why isn't Zi Juan with you? "
When Daiyu saw Baoqin, she couldn't help but cry again. She was speechless.
Baoqin was at his wit's end when he saw Xue Yan coming over with a tea tray. He asked, "What's wrong?
Your Miss only cares about being sad and doesn't say anything. Why don't you tell me? "
Xue Yan put down the tray, which was decorated with pastel flowers and birds, and two small white porcelain plates with bright red cherries and osmanthus sugar cake.
She still looked angry and said, "It's all Zi Juan's fault. He told Baoyu that our girl is going back to Yangzhou next year and said some unpleasant things.
Now Baoyu is dumbfounded. He's in a daze and seems to have lost his mind.
The old lady and the two madams are waiting inside. Zi Juan is also there … "
When Baoqin heard this, he couldn't help but frown. "What is she doing?
Does she think that your girl's life is too good? "
When Daiyu heard such heart-wrenching words, her tears flowed even faster. "I think Zi Juan is doing this for my own good.
After years of delay, there hasn't been a single accurate sentence.
Zi Juan was also forced into a corner, which was why she resorted to this … "
Baoqin sighed and said, "Even so, he shouldn't have done this!
You have to know that Second Madam already sees you as a thorn in her side. Now that this has happened, I'm afraid that she hates you to death in her heart.
If Madam wants to torture people, she doesn't have to do it herself.
Even if it's just some servants who want to please her, it's enough to make you suffer. "
When Daiyu heard this, she was so sad that she couldn't help but lean on Baoqin's shoulder and cry bitterly.
Baoqin patted her thin shoulder and silently accompanied her.
After a long time, Daiyu gradually stopped crying. She took a purple satin handkerchief and wiped her tears. She forced a smile and said, "To let you see me like this, it's really …"
Baoqin said, "You really treat me as a friend. You didn't treat me as an outsider just now. I can only feel grateful in my heart. Why would I laugh at you?"
After the two of them chatted for a while, Daiyu said, "I have to go over there and take a look. After all, this happened because of me."
Baoqin stood up and said, "I'll go with you. I can also help you."
The two of them left the Xiaoxiang Restaurant and walked over there.
Just as they reached the door of Baoyu's room, they heard Madam Jia say from inside, "The Lin family is all dead. You don't have to worry …"
Hearing these words unexpectedly, Daiyu couldn't help but be stunned at the door. Her body swayed a few times and she was on the verge of collapse.
Baoqin suddenly felt extremely dissatisfied with Madam Jia. He knew that she was trying to comfort her precious darling, but did she have to curse the Lin family like this?
Look at her granddaughter. She was so sad that she couldn't even stand properly, okay?
Baoqin reached out to support Daiyu and asked in a low voice, "Can you still hold on?"
Daiyu leaned on Baoqin's arm for a long time before she stood up straight and shook her head, "I'm fine …" Then she paused and said, "I don't want to go in. Let's go out for a walk."
These words were exactly what Baoqin wanted. Jia Baoyu's room was in a mess. There were people everywhere and the air was not good. She really didn't want to go in. She nodded and said, "Okay, the peach blossoms at Qinfang Gate are blooming very well. Let's go and take a look."
So Daiyu and Baoqin arrived, but they didn't enter the room. They turned and went to Qinfang Gate.
The peach blossoms there were blooming beautifully, as gorgeous as the clouds in the sky.
A gust of wind blew the petals up. Some of them were blown into the stream and flowed out of the Grand View Garden with the clear water. No one knew where they would flow to.
Daiyu looked at it for a long time before she said softly, "People like us are not as free as these petals.
They can still float around, but we can only be locked up in a big room for the rest of our lives. We can't be free … "
Baoqin said, "I have other ideas. Although I can't go anywhere as freely as a man, as long as my heart is free, I am free."
Daiyu murmured and repeated Baoqin's words, "If my heart is free, I am free …" After a long time, she said, "Now, not only is my body imprisoned, but my heart is also imprisoned …"
Baoqin said, "It's not that you don't have a choice, is it?"
Daiyu said, "How would you know?
Although Baoyu and I didn't have a matchmaker, our ancestors and my father had already decided on it for us in a letter.
Otherwise, how would my father dare to entrust me and my Lin family's two to three million yuan to the Jia family?
Now, almost all the money has been spent on the construction of the Grand View Garden.
Even if I want to get away, I can't … Who would marry an orphan with no permanent property and both parents dead? "She didn't cry again, but the expression on her face was more sad than if she had cried.
Baoqin felt very sad for Daiyu. Now it was obvious that the Jia family had spent all the Lin family's property, but they didn't want the Lin family's daughter.
How could there be such a cruel and shameless person in the world?
However, she couldn't do anything about it at the moment. She could only say to Daiyu, "Don't think about the money anymore. Since you know that this is not a good place, it's better to stop the loss.
Even if you have to live a poor life, it's better than being trapped here and not being able to open your eyes. "
She suddenly woke up from her dream. She heard a soft call in her ear.
Who was Baoqin?
She stood up blankly. She saw a face in the mirror that was so beautiful that it didn't look like a real person. She looked about fourteen or fifteen years old.
She was young and delicate, just at the right age.
This wasn't her. She was an urban white-collar worker who had worked hard in a big city for many years. No matter how she took care of herself, she still looked haggard.
This was her. She was now an ancient girl who hadn't been married.
Let's forget the past. I'm afraid I can't go back … She let out a long sigh, and then her heart was filled with joy.
Anyone who woke up from a dream and found that they were suddenly ten years younger and had become as beautiful as a fairy would feel happy.
After calming down, she looked around and saw an extremely exquisite boudoir.
Just an exquisitely carved step bed alone took up half of the room.
Several layers of light yellow and green muslin curtains hung down hazily, exuding a faint fragrance.
Baoqin from Xue family was a girl who was very doted on by her parents.
Unfortunately, that was all in the past.
Now that her parents were dead, she was relying on her older brother.
She also had a male cousin named Xue Pan and a female cousin named Xue Baochai. They had already left here. Their whole family had gone to the capital … Wait, Xue Baochai?
This name was so familiar!
Before Xue Baoqin could recall any memories related to the name Xue Baochai, the crystal curtain at the door was lifted, and a little maidservant, wearing a cyan vest and a sapphire blue cotton skirt, with a plain appearance, walked in.
That was her maidservant, Xiao Luo. She had already served her for two years.
