Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Chapter 157: Unable to Keep Up with Changes

Wang Xifeng's eyes fell on Tanchun and Xichun. They were looking at Qin Keqing with their mouths open and intoxicated.

Wang Xifeng winked at Daiyu quietly and asked in a low voice: "They are here too, is it really okay to say these things?"

Daiyu blinked and said with a wicked smile: "If I don't tell them, are I waiting for them to be fooled by others?"

"You! I knew it was you who did all those bad things!" Wang Xifeng held her belly and poked Daiyu a few times.

Daiyu just giggled, neither admitting nor denying.

They chatted about family matters, teased Sister Yuan, and teased Qin Keqing. It was almost dark when Daiyu and the other three got on the carriage.

When the carriage was about to arrive at Lixiang Courtyard, Xichun came back to her senses and said with emotion: "Sister Qin is so beautiful that I can't take my eyes off her!"

The other three couldn't help but chuckle: "That's your nephew's wife, not your sister, don't call her the wrong name! Hahaha!"

The four of them chatted and laughed as they entered the Pear Fragrance Courtyard. Daiyu and Yingchun returned to the main room. Xichun had something to ask, so she followed behind. Tanchun didn't want to be alone, so she followed them into the main room.

Daiyu looked at the two people behind her and asked in confusion, "Aren't you going back for dinner?"

Xichun did not answer, but twisted her body, nimbly bypassed Daiyu, and went into her room. It seemed that she had made up her mind to use it on Daiyu.

Daiyu shook her head helplessly and told Qinghe, "Go and tell the kitchen to send all the cousins' meals to me."

She came back from the East Courtyard and was a little thirsty, so she poured a cup of tea for everyone and asked Xichun, "Tell me, what do you want to ask?"

Xichun had already walked to the brazier and started warming herself up. She turned her head to look at Daiyu and asked, "How did you know this, cousin?"

I don’t know when it started, but Xichun started addressing Daiyu as “cousin”, which sounded a lot more intimate.

Yingchun swallowed a mouthful of tea and joked, "Your kung fu is not good enough, everything is written on your face!"

"I don't need to hide it or learn any martial arts to show my face. My boxing is enough!" Xichun waved her fist nonchalantly, then approached Daiyu, tugged at her sleeve and asked, "Sister, tell me quickly, why did Zhineng go with the Qin family?"

Daiyu did not directly answer Xichun's question, but asked in return: "Why do you think the old ancestor wanted to send Zhineng out of the city?"

Xichun thought for a moment and answered hesitantly, "Is it to distance yourself from the matter?"

"That's right. Fortunately, apart from the Qin family, no one knows that Zhineng has been to our house. And now, Qin Zhong has taken Zhineng to the Qin Mansion, so we have gotten rid of the responsibility. Otherwise, even if we took the initiative to send him to the Jinyiwei, we can't escape the blame.

As for why Zhineng wanted to go with Qin Zhong, is there any other good place for her to go?"

Xichun's eyes widened, bewildered: "We took the initiative to send the person away, how can we still be implicated?"

Daiyu laughed disdainfully: "What methods can't those people in the court use to fight for their own party?"

After hearing this, Xichun stuck out her tongue in surprise, obviously shocked by Daiyu's words.

However, Daiyu did not intend to scare them, so she comforted them: "Fortunately, Qin Zhong has taken the people away now, which is equivalent to him carrying this burning burden. Now, it is Qin Zhong's father who should have a headache."

Daiyu's guess was correct; the Qin residence was in chaos at this moment.

Qin Ye learned that the person his son brought back was actually a criminal that Jinyiwei had missed, and he fainted in anger. Mrs. Qin was busy looking for a doctor for Qin Ye, but she had no idea about Zhineng'er, the culprit, and she just stayed by Qin Ye's side and wiped her tears!

After the sisters had dinner together, Xichun was reluctant to leave. Bai Shao came to find Daiyu for something, but seeing that there were other people in the room, she couldn't say anything directly, so she could only quietly walk aside and wink at Daiyu.

Seeing this, Daiyu walked to the door calmly and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

Bai Shao stood beside Daiyu. To outsiders, it seemed that she was just standing respectfully beside Daiyu and there was nothing unusual about her.

"Qin sent a message asking if the plan can be advanced?"

Although Daiyu was a little surprised, she felt it was reasonable when considering what happened today.

"You arrange for Yu Ziru to go there tonight."

That night, everyone had fallen asleep.

Daiyu felt uneasy and decided to go to Qin Keqing to check the situation. Just as she was about to put the drug into the brazier, Yingchun gently pressed her wrist.

Yingchun leaned close to Daiyu's ear and said, "Go ahead! I'll be watching over you here, nothing will happen."

Daiyu nodded gratefully to Yingchun. She quickly put on her nightgown and walked out of the bedroom. Baishao had also dressed up and was already waiting at the door, waiting for her.

The two quickly rushed to Qin Keqing's courtyard, where Yu Ziru was taking Jia Rong's pulse.

"You're here!" Qin Keqing didn't expect Daiyu to come in person, and she held her hand gratefully.

Daiyu then realized that Qin Keqing's hands were a little cold, and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter? Why do you want to advance the plan? The three-month deadline is already more than halfway through."

"We can't wait any longer!" Qin Keqing's expression was a little solemn. She murmured, "What happened today gave me a bad feeling. I'm worried that if we delay any further, it will take half a year. I can't wait any longer!"

"You mean..." Daiyu's mind moved, and she thought of a possibility - although the current dynasty does not prohibit having children during the mourning period, Qin Keqing is no longer a member of the Qin family in the strict sense.

But once Qin Ye passed away, given the gossiping nature of the servants in the East Mansion, it would be inconvenient for her to get pregnant in the short term.

Qin Keqing made up her mind and nodded: "Yes! My father's body is weak to begin with. I don't know how long he can last after being angered by Qin Zhong like this."

Daiyu complained in her heart: It would be strange if I could be in good health living in such a cold and gloomy underground palace!

At this time, Yu Zilu withdrew his hand and complained unhappily: "Can't you two be quiet for a while? I'm still checking my pulse!"

Daiyu glanced at him with amusement and saw that there was a smile at the corners of his eyes, which clearly showed that he was not really angry.

"Okay, just tell me the result! Tomorrow I'll ask Qiu Kui to copy another medical book for you, as compensation for your trip so late at night!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Zilu immediately smiled and asked, "Let Qing He, that little girl, copy it for me. She's cute and I like her!"

After saying this, he seemed to be worried that Daiyu and Qin Keqing would misunderstand him, and he deliberately added: "I only think of her as a junior! Don't think the wrong way!"

Daiyu rolled her eyes at Yu Zilu and retorted, "Stop talking nonsense. If you say one more word, the medical book will be gone!"
