Chapter 138: Fooling Fools
Chapter 138: Fooling Fools
It must be said that the sword manual collected by the Qin family is far inferior to the one Daiyu copied for Qiu Kui before. Qiu Kui immediately lost interest in continuing to read it, and walked to the door of the study to observe the movements outside for Daiyu.
Danzhi was a carefree person. She encouraged herself for a while, picked out a book of interest from the bookshelf, and began to read it in the dim light of a fire stick.
As long as they didn't make too much noise, Daiyu would let them do what they wanted. She pretended to be looking for a book and walked around the entire study.
"It's getting late, we should leave," Daiyu reminded Danru who was watching with fascination.
Danyu glanced at the cover of the book reluctantly before putting it back on the bookshelf. Daiyu glanced at the title of the book inadvertently and couldn't help but twitch her lips.
As you can tell from the title, this is a storybook that tells the love story between a young man and a young lady.
She looked at Danzhi with amusement: "You also like this type of book?"
Danzhi nodded somewhat embarrassedly.
Daiyu recalled Xue Baochai who loved to visit people everywhere, so she reminded her: "I don't object to you reading storybooks, but don't be confused by the stories about love and affection in them, and don't leave the storybooks lying around to avoid being seen by outsiders."
"Yes, young lady!" Danyu promised solemnly, "I will put it in the cabinet of Lin's Mansion and will never bring it to Jia's Mansion!"
Daiyu glanced at Qiu Kui, who understood and nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what she meant.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, Daiyu ate a small bowl of glutinous rice balls early in the morning, just to celebrate the festival. Then she returned to her bed, flopping her legs and wailing, "I really don't want to go back to the Jia Mansion!"
The maids were busy packing things, coming and going, but no one paid any attention to her. It was the same last year, and she ended up going back to the Jia family obediently!
Daiyu made a fuss for a while, but when she saw that the maids ignored her, she lost interest in making a fuss anymore. She waved Danru over and asked, "Has the Jia family not dealt with Xue Pan yet?"
"To answer your question, the Jia family said that Master Xue's injury has not healed yet, so it is not appropriate to punish him for the time being. He can't get out of bed now, so he can't offend the women."
Daiyu curled her lips and thought: Who doesn't know this? Xue Pan is indeed unable to get out of bed, but he is not idle in bed. He takes care of several maids!
The Jia family is fooling fools!
At this time, Gu Mama's voice came from outside the door: "Miss, I heard from the maid that you stayed in bed again?"
Daiyu jumped up and quickly walked to the bookshelf, pretending to pick up a book. When she saw Gu Mama coming in, she seemed to have just come back to her senses from the book and asked in surprise: "Mama, why are you here? Which little maid is gossiping behind my back?"
She pretended to be angry and glared at Luluo who was winking at her behind Grandma Gu.
Nanny Gu said worriedly, "Luluo just told me how the Jia family handled the situation. Miss, what do you think?"
Daiyu grumbled dejectedly, "In previous years, we always went back before the Lantern Festival. I don't want to go back either!"
Unexpectedly, Nanny Gu nodded in agreement: "The young master of the Xue family is indeed unkind. Although the young lady lives in the northeast corner and has no contact with him on weekdays, people will not think so. In my opinion, the young lady should not return to the Jia Mansion for the time being..."
Before Gu Mama could finish her words, Daiyu had already cheered: "Great! You all, put the things back for me! I'm not going back today!"
But when she saw Gu Mama frowning slightly, Daiyu's joy was immediately discounted. She smiled and helped Gu Mama sit on the kang in the inner room, saying, "Mama, please go on. I promise not to interrupt you!"
Nanny Gu felt that Daiyu was still a little immature, but she continued, "Young lady, you should stay in the mansion first. I will go back and talk to Old Lady Jia about the interests involved. Once the troubles in the mansion are dealt with, it won't be too late for you to return to the Jia family."
Daiyu was so happy that she was about to bloom, but she didn't dare to show it on the surface. However, the slightly raised corners of her eyes still revealed her inner joy: "Mammy, take your time, I'm not in a hurry, hehe!"
Nanny Gu didn't say anything else. She just tapped Daiyu's brow helplessly and turned away.
Only when Nanny Gu had disappeared did Daiyu suddenly remember and quickly shouted to Luluo, "Go catch up with Nanny Gu and call Qinghe. You two must protect Nanny Gu for me, and don't let those fools bump into her!"
"Yes, girl!" When Luoluo heard this, she felt that she could be the first to witness the gossip. She immediately smiled and ran out impatiently.
Danyu came up to Daiyu and asked, "Miss, how long can we stay in the mansion?"
Daiyu kept it a secret and said mysteriously, "That depends on our ancestors and the news from outside."
Danzhi seemed to understand what he said, but she nodded obediently anyway.
At this time, Daiyu instructed her again, "Go and tell Huang Yongjin to keep a close eye on Jia Baoyu. If he finds anything going on between him and Xiren, tell him about it. Oh, Mrs. Wang always thinks she has a unique vision and is all-powerful. She thinks that all the people she likes are good people, so let's give her a surprise.
Otherwise, she always looks like she doesn't care about anything, which is really annoying. Since she is not afraid of her family's dirty laundry being exposed, then let's reveal it all and see who is the clown! "
"Yes!" Danzhi heard what Daiyu meant and realized that she was obviously trying to stir up trouble, so she jumped out.
Qiu Kui noticed Dan Ru's movements, walked into the bedroom, and tried to plead for Dan Ru: "Miss, Dan Ru is still young after all, so it's inevitable that she is a little unstable."
Daiyu lay on the bed, closed her eyes and rested, without even opening her eyelids: "Okay, you don't have to say good things for her, it's hard to change her personality. From now on, just put her in the open and let her be responsible for delivering messages. I think Bai Shao is good, you can give her a try."
Qiu Kui knew that Daiyu had made up her mind and no amount of persuasion would change her mind.
Thinking back to the beginning, the four of them came to the girl at the same time. Before that, Bai Shao and Zhu Hui went to Qin's place, so only Dan Ru was left with Qiu Kui. If she was the only one among the four who was sent back to the farm, Qiu Kui would be reluctant to leave.
After getting the answer he wanted, Qiu Kui thanked Daiyu and left.
After Nanny Gu returned to the Jia Mansion, Daiyu completely let herself go. She was busy practicing martial arts every day and surprisingly lived a very fulfilling life.
That day, she looked at the price of low-level soul stones in the mall—one cost a hundred points!
If this had happened in the past, Daiyu would definitely not even search for it. But now it was different, she had some assets, so it wasn't too much of a luxury to buy ten low-level soul stones!
