Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Chapter 198 Double Affirmation Expresses Negation

On the other side, Daiyu heard Qinghe report that Xue Baochai sent Wenxing to find her.

No matter how the people at the back door tried to inquire, Wen Xing kept her mouth shut and waited stubbornly at the back door, neither speaking nor leaving.

"Forget it. Since she insists so much, let her in. Maybe there's something important going on."

Daiyu stood up and walked to the main room and sat down. Seeing Wenxing slowly walking in, she said to Luluo beside her: "Look at Wenxing, how steady she is."

Seeing Wen Xing getting closer, Luluo quickly said, "It's enough to have Qinghe and Xueyan to be steady. I will be responsible for protecting the girl."

Luoluo's answer made Daiyu look sideways, but Wenxing had already walked in, so she could only temporarily suppress the admiration in her heart, but she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.

"Why did your girl send you here?"

Wen Xing looked at Qinghe and Luluo standing on both sides of Daiyu and felt a little hesitant.

Daiyu had no patience to wait for her to speak, so she urged her, "They are not strangers, just speak directly if you have anything to say; if you don't want to say it, please go back!"

Wen Xing was flustered for a moment, but soon calmed down: "Our girl wants Miss Lin to help."

Then Wen Xing told Daiyu everything about Xue Pan's words today and Xue Baochai's guess.

"Our girl said that if you can add your name, that would be the best; if you can't, you have to be a clear-headed ghost and not let others harm you for no reason!"

Daiyu almost laughed out loud when she heard these words that were a bit venting, "The latter part of the words is not like your daughter's style."

Wen Xing's face turned red, and she admitted embarrassedly: "Although it's not the exact words, the meaning is similar. Our girl also specifically said that she will reimburse you for the money you spent on the flowers."

Daiyu hesitated for only a moment and then agreed.

After Wen Xing left happily, Daiyu immediately went to the yard where Nanny Gu was, unable to wait even a moment.

Something big happened!

At this moment, Nanny Gu was sitting leisurely with Nanny Liao and drinking tea.

After teaching Xue Baochai etiquette all day for many days, Nanny Gu was a little tired. Fortunately, Daiyu was considerate and asked the three Nannies to discuss it, so she could take a day off.

Seeing Daiyu coming in excitedly, she couldn't help but wonder, "Miss, you are so happy, is there something good? Why did you come here in person and not ask someone to call me over?"

Daiyu looked back at the yard, closed the door, and then said mysteriously to the two maids, "Guess what great news I just heard!"

"How could I have guessed that!" Nanny Gu pretended to be angry, but she pulled Daiyu to sit beside her and poured her a glass of honey water.

Daiyu couldn't wait to speak: "Just now, Xue Baochai sent someone to tell me that her name was crossed out from the roster!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Mama frowned slightly and asked, "Didn't the Xue family ask for it themselves?"

"What do you mean?"

Madam Liao took over the conversation and explained, "Although registration is voluntary each time, it does not mean that changes cannot be made after registration.

Some powerful families, who really love their daughters, can use their connections to remove their names from the roster.

However, this would require another sum of money, which would be used to bribe the clerks so that they would send someone down to double-check whether the name should really be crossed out. "

Daiyu didn't know that there was such an inside story. She originally thought that as long as the power was greater than that of the Xue family, such as the Jia family, they could remove Xue Baochai's name at will.

Seeing her suddenly enlightened look, Gu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Of course, otherwise whoever has more power can replace the people on the selection list at will. Then wouldn't the cabinet and the Queen's family be able to manipulate the results of the selection at will?"

"That means someone from the Jia family must have been involved in this matter. Otherwise, when the eunuchs came to look for Aunt Xue and the others, they would definitely not agree to leave."

"It can be said that the mastermind behind this incident is most likely someone from the Jia family." Nanny Gu was bolder than Daiyu and made a direct conclusion.

Oh boy! It's bitten!

Daiyu stood up excitedly, paced back and forth in front of the two maids, and clapped her hands involuntarily.

Nanny Gu and Nanny Liao looked at her childish behavior with doting eyes.

When Daiyu calmed down a little, she remembered Xue Baochai's request and asked again, "Mammy, is there any way to add the name back now?"

Gu Mama shook her head: "I'm afraid it's difficult. Now that the roster has been initially finalized, the scroll recording the information of the Xue family girls may have been destroyed.

Unless His Majesty personally ordered the name to be added, which official would dare to take such a risk and put her scroll back in?"

"Then it's impossible?" Daiyu was unwilling to give in. It shouldn't be difficult to just add a scroll in.

Nanny Gu keenly caught Daiyu's eager expression and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Daiyu felt a little guilty, but still pretended to be calm.

"Xue Baochai wants to ask Madam if there is any way to add her name back; if that is not possible, at least she wants to find out who is behind this."

Nanny Gu stared at Daiyu's eyes closely, and thought of what she had mentioned before, about stuffing the scroll back, and she had a guess in her mind.

"You don't want to go to the Ministry of Revenue in person!"

Daiyu said no, but she was very happy in her heart.

The Ministry of Revenue is located within the imperial city. If she goes in, wouldn't that mean she is one step closer to the imperial palace?

If you want to go to the Ministry of Revenue, you must first have Grandma Gu draw a map of the Ministry of Revenue yourself.

Otherwise, with only the vast square from Tianmen to Wumen, if there was no map, even if Daiyu could use the system scanning function, she would be rejected by 111 because there were no books within a hundred meters.

"No, no! Good Madam, please just draw it for me! After all, Xue Baochai has been your student for such a long time. She was so embarrassed when she was about to take the exam. I don't know who had done it to her. How aggrieved she must be, don't you think?"

Not only Nanny Gu, but even Nanny Liao looked at Daiyu with suspicion.

"I don't think you are such a selfless person. Tell us honestly, are you up to something bad?"

Seeing that she couldn't fool him, Daiyu had no choice but to confess part of her plan.

"Let's not beat around the bush. I do have some selfish motives. I suspect that Mrs. Wang is behind this. As long as she doesn't get what she wants, I'll be happy.

But rest assured, both maids, I will definitely leave this matter to my subordinates and will never take the risk of going to the Ministry of Revenue myself."

If the two maids knew the language rules of later times, that double affirmation expresses negation, they would not have believed Daiyu's lies.

Looking at Daiyu's righteous look, Nanny Gu reluctantly believed it a little and followed Daiyu to her study.
