Destiny is determined by God and cannot be reversed without human intervention.

In the end, Lin Ruhai died in the capital before she could return to her hometown due to illness.

Lin Ruhai’s ancestral home was in Suzhou, and he had only been an official in Beijing for a short time. He did not have many relatives and friends in Beijing, so his death did not cause much trouble in the capital. Apart from Rongguo Mansion, only several close friends of Lin Ruhai who had received the obituary came to express their condolences.

Jia Lian naturally put everything aside and stayed at the Lin Mansion every day to send his obituary. He almost did everything himself.

Jia’s mother, Jia Zheng and his wife, Mrs. Xing, and others from the Rongguo Mansion came to express their condolences one by one.

Among them, Mother Jia was the most sad. She cried loudly in the mourning hall, saying that she had long expected that neither Jia Min nor Lin Ruhai would live long, and now Daiyu was left alone. Those who left her alone were not competent parents...

Jia Baoyu also came. However, Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others had already discussed with Jia Lian to keep the matter between him and Daiyu from Jia Baoyu for the time being. Therefore, Jia Mu and others prevented Jia Baoyu from coming to Lin's house alone, and they even allowed him to pass. Everyone in the Lin family who was aware of the matter also deliberately did not discuss the matter in front of him.

The Lin family is also very small, and very few in the Jia family know about this matter. Therefore, Jia Baoyu stayed in the Lin family for a long time, but he didn't hear any news at all.

On this day, Wang Xifeng also packed up and paid condolences to the Lin family.

She is a nosy person who can't stop being busy. Seeing that the Lin family is not enough and everything is handled too simply, she helps organize things inside.

Seeing that Daiyu was slim and frail, he couldn't bear to let her cry in front of the soul for a long time, so he found an excuse and asked Daiyu to rest in a quiet room, while asking for her welfare and caring for her.

Since Daiyu knew that Wang Xifeng was coming, she felt a little nervous. Whenever she saw Wang Xifeng, she couldn't help but feel worried.

Just seeing Wang Xifeng treating her with the same positive attitude as always, she felt relieved. While responding to Wang Xifeng's concern in a shallow way, she kept encouraging herself in her heart: Since she acted like this, she couldn't be too petty and make her look down on her.

Others, whether it was Ping'er and others beside Wang Xifeng, or Zijuan and others beside Daiyu, when they saw these two meeting, they all chose to leave and give life to their two masters. , leaving a private communication space.

So, soon only Wang Xifeng and Daiyu were left in the quiet room. The two of them sat on the kang, and their words gradually stopped.

Daiyu had never experienced anything like this before. She looked up and saw Wang Xifeng looking at her with a red phoenix eye. She felt both shy and nervous. Take a deep breath and get up.

"Second sister-in-law Lian, please drink tea..."

Daiyu wanted to get up and serve tea to Wang Xifeng to ease the embarrassment.

How could Wang Xifeng agree? He grabbed her hand and asked her to continue sitting. At the same time, he smiled and said: "You still call me sister-in-law?"

Daiyu was embarrassed. Her face turned red, and her stubborn personality made her unwilling to cooperate with Wang Xifeng in changing her words. She just turned her head away and said nothing.

With such a shy and silent look, let alone a man, even Wang Xifeng felt envious and couldn't help laughing again: "Look at this look, you can see that you entered the house in the first place. At that time, I was right. She is just like a fairy in the sky. It’s no wonder that your second brother Lian has been attracted to you since he was a child and determined to marry you."

Daiyu listened. She felt embarrassed, and then couldn't help but wonder whether Wang Xifeng's words were meant to mock her.

But I heard Wang Xifeng immediately say: "Don't be nervous about me, you have known me for so many years. Although the servants in the house used to say how powerful I am, but in all fairness, in those years, How do I treat you and the sisters at home?"

When Daiyu heard this, she hurriedly said: "Sister Feng has always treated us very well. At home, except for the old lady, that is, Sister Feng treats us very well. I'm the best, I always remember my sister's kindness."

Wang Xifeng's eyes lit up, "Good sister, if you can call me sister, I will be satisfied.
< br />You don’t know that because of the matter between you and your second brother Lian, the old lady at home and your second brother Lian took turns suppressing and admonishing me, as if they were afraid that I would bully you after you entered the door.

But they also don’t think about it, am I such an ignorant person?

If someone else wants to enter my door, for the sake of the peace and quiet of my home and you, I have to carefully examine the reputation of my second brother. How can anyone just come in?

But who is my sister? Speaking of which, my sister is very good in terms of family background, knowledge and appearance. Far above me.

Your willingness to marry your second brother Lian is a blessing that your second brother Lian and I have cultivated over several lifetimes. How can I be unhappy?

The only thing I feel is that I feel so wronged to you.

So, you really don’t need to be restrained in front of me. I remember that you used to be very articulate and incomprehensible in front of me. What a shame, hehehe, so, how you behaved in front of me before, how you behave now?

When you come here in the future, you and I will treat each other like sisters. If you respect me, call me sister. If you dislike me for being vulgar and ignore me, I won’t blame you.

In short, I will treat you as my own sister. What I can't say to others is that your second brother Lian is now more capable of doing things outside. His horizons are wider than before. He knows more people and naturally has more confidante.

Their men are the most unable to withstand temptation. If it was just an ordinary hunt for flowers and willows, that would be fine. I was afraid that I might make a mistake and offend the wrong people, which would delay my future.

My sister is a very smart person, so she can understand what I mean.

It’s a shame that I am a loser, and your second brother Lian is not willing to listen to my advice. You are the only one who is knowledgeable and good-looking, and your second brother Lian cares about you so much. I think if you try to persuade him, he will definitely listen to your advice.

Good girl, maybe you understand all my painstaking efforts? "

Wang Xifeng's words were spoken with great emotion and from the heart, which moved Daiyu a little.

Although Daiyu is young, she is extremely talented. , although she was not very sympathetic to some of Wang Xifeng's words, but she could tell that Wang Xifeng wanted to make friends and win over her, and even his words were a little cautious and even meant to please.

Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief.

What she was most worried about before was that Wang Xifeng would treat her coldly, and she really didn't know what to do.

After all, she had also stayed in Rongguo Mansion for many years and knew that Wang Xifeng was known as a jealous person.

Now, whether Wang Xifeng really said this or pretended to appease her, at least the two of them got along. It won’t be too embarrassing if you get up.

Anyway, her willingness to marry Jia Lian was all for the sake of Lian’s second brother and had nothing to do with anything else.

She never thought about it , after marrying Jia Lian, she wanted to please Wang Xifeng, and she never thought about being equal with Wang Xifeng.

Her idea was that if Wang Xifeng was good to her after she entered the family, she would be with her. She is good. If Wang Xifeng doesn't like her, then she won't have any contact with her.

If Wang Xifeng wants to bully her, she is not afraid. She will give her sincerity to Jia Lian and believe that Jia Lian will protect her. . If Jia Lian can't protect her, or changes his mind and doesn't want to protect her, the worst she can do is follow her parents. When the time comes, her brother Lian will be left alone to regret it.

Of course, this is just the worst thing about Daiyu. She believed in Jia Lian, otherwise, she would not have wronged herself to this point.

And she also believed that Jia Lian could control Wang Xifeng, which was not a big deal from Wang Xifeng now. Just daring to talk to her so carefully can prove one of the reasons.

So, Daiyu thought about it and felt that she shouldn’t tell everything, were all left to Jia Lian alone, although she was used to being cared for by Jia Lian. If Wang Xifeng could be serious with her, she would be happy to have a good relationship with Wang Xifeng.

In this way, the second brother Lian will be relieved a lot...

So he secretly took a breath, stood up and said to Wang Xifeng with a blushing face: "Sister Feng said It's so embarrassing, I, I'm not as good as you said.

Moreover, everyone knows that the second brother Lian cares most about Sister Feng. For Sister Feng, the second brother Lian even fought against the Queen Mother All the offers of marriage were rejected, which shows how sincere Brother Lian is towards Sister Feng."

Although the remarks were taken casually, Daiyu couldn't help but feel a little sad as she said them.

After all, Brother Lian and Sister Feng are the married couple...

Finally, I have considered this issue many times in my heart, and Daiyu doesn’t want to Showing her timidity in front of Wang Xifeng, she quickly made a decision.

"Sister Feng, don't worry. Not to mention those years, the good thing about Sister Feng's treatment of me is that when I enter my sister's house in the future, I will naturally be my sister. I only hope that my sister will take pity on me. Treat me like you did that day, and my sister is here to kowtow to her..."

Daiyu is a very emotional person, and her actions will follow her emotions.

She despises the etiquette of these monarchs, ministers, wives, and concubines. After all, living in this world has been affected to some extent.

Anyway, she had already prepared herself to be inferior to Wang Xifeng. Now that Wang Xifeng can achieve such a posture, why can't she, Lin Daiyu, let go?

There was a stubborn voice in her heart telling her that she would only kneel down today to show her attitude. It would be fine if Wang Xifeng accepted her. If Wang Xifeng could not sincerely accept her and cause conflicts in the future, it would not be regarded as her disrespect for the royal family and unreasonable troubles.

Moreover, I didn’t do this just to please Sister Feng. Everything was just for Brother Lian. He was so good to me, and I was just one of the rewards.

Although the construction in her heart was enough to support her in bowing, when her knees really bent, her tears still fell into her eyes like a waterfall.

Wang Xifeng felt happy as early as Daiyu said that Jia Lian cared about her the most, and even used the incident last year as an argument.

That incident was something she would remember and be proud of for a lifetime. She could smile every time she thought about it, let alone hearing it from Daiyu's mouth.

Suddenly Daiyu changed the topic and wanted to kowtow to her. Although it was nothing for the side room to kneel to the main wife’s grandmother, Wang Xifeng knew thatHe said that Jia Lian, Jia Mu and others felt very sorry for Daiyu.

She didn’t want these two to bully Daiyu before she even came in!

It just so happened that her hands had been holding Daiyu’s little hand firmly. At this time, she lifted up and pulled Daiyu into her arms. She smiled and said: "That's well said. Yeah, why did you suddenly do this?

Didn’t I say that I really treat you as my sister, how can I let you kneel down to me?

And, your second brother Lian You have told me that in the future, when you enter the house, you will not be an ordinary side chamber. Instead, you will imitate the ancient times and marry a concubine with the grand ceremony. In terms of status, you are not far behind me, and you will not have to kneel to me.
< br /> Or, you know that the old lady and your second brother Lian feel sorry for you, so you do this deliberately so that the old lady and your second brother Lian can teach me a lesson?"

Wang Xifeng said, deliberately staring at Daiyu in his arms with a playful look.

Daiyu’s cheeks turned red with embarrassment, and she quickly shook her head: “No, no, I just... Sister Feng treats me sincerely, and I treat Sister Feng sincerely, so please don’t worry, Sister Feng. , I will definitely serve you well in the future..."

After all, Daiyu is still too young. Although she has her own plans in her heart, her external methods are still far behind Wang Xifeng. , and was subdued after a few strokes.

Wang Xifeng laughed, took out the handkerchief, wiped away Daiyu's tears, and sighed: "Stop saying this, I can't get a girl like you, I don't think too much about it. I'm so happy. Look at this pitiful appearance, don't cry anymore, otherwise when your second brother Lian sees me later, I will jump into the Yellow River and I won't be able to wash myself off."

Daiyu felt embarrassed. Don't know what to do. One was because of Wang Xifeng's words, and the other was because she was held tightly in Wang Xifeng's arms.

Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian are the same age, but a few months younger. Therefore, after staying in Wang Xifeng's warm and mature arms, after the initial embarrassment, there was an unspeakable sense of satisfaction and peace of mind.

She suddenly thought that when her mother was still alive, she often held her like this.

It has been many years since I felt such an embrace.

Just thinking about this, Daiyu gave up the idea of ​​breaking away, thinking that it would be good if Sister Feng could really be like Brother Lian and always treat her sincerely...< br />
Just when the eldest sister and the little sister were testing each other and talking to each other, Jia Lian strolled in.

When he saw Daiyu, who was wearing filial piety clothes and belt, looking even more petite and cute, being held in Wang Xifeng's arms for comfort, Jia Lian raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

"Yes, what I told you is right. I just stayed with you for a while, and someone came to find you in a hurry. He must be afraid that I will bully you or offend you."

When Wang Xifeng saw Jia Lian, she smiled and deliberately hugged Daiyu tighter. Her hands deliberately touched Daiyu's shoulders and face, as if she wanted to see if Jia Lian would be jealous.

Daiyu was already very embarrassed by Wang Xifeng's words, and could not bear Wang Xifeng's caress, which was similar to Jia's mother, so she hurriedly broke away from Wang Xifeng's arms, walked aside, and poured a cup of tea for Jia Lian. come over.

After Jia Lian sat down, he took Wang Xifeng's teacup away and poured another one over.

Jia Lian sat on the chair next to him, took a sip of Daiyu's tea, and then said with a smile: "I heard that you came over and helped me arrange and take care of the things inside. Thank you for your hard work. ."

"Hey, stop saying that, I'm just giving random instructions, thank God if you don't say I'm causing trouble to you.

Besides, even if No matter what the merit, I did not take action because of your actions, but because of Sister Lin’s actions.

Why, Sister Lin hasn’t even entered the door yet, and you just took this place. Once your family has taken care of it, they are not afraid of spreading the word. Others will misunderstand you and say that you are marrying our Sister Lin. It does not seem like you want to take care of Sister Lin, but it seems like you are coveting the Lin family's property."

Wang Xifeng knew Jia Lian quite well. Seeing his admiration for her, she also knew that it was not because he was helping her, but because she was close to Daiyu!

Feeling unhappy, I deliberately told this somewhat sensitive matter face to face in a joking way, and at the same time looked at Daiyu's expression.

Jia Lian felt a little unhappy.

This outspoken girl sometimes makes people want to spank her.

Fortunately, Daiyu is a pure person who only cares about her inner intuitive feelings and not about external things.

Otherwise, if it were another woman, hearing Sister Feng’s words, she might really be suspicious.

But he couldn’t let Sister Feng instigate the relationship between him and Daiyu, and hummed: “Not to mention that my uncle is an elder, and he has helped me and taken care of me for so many years. So in In my heart, I have long regarded my uncle as a close relative.

He has no children, and he treats me like his own son, so I should be the one to die for him.

As for the Lin family Before my uncle died, he made a will and divided the Lin family's property in detail. Naturally, I will take over the property according to his will. There is no coveting.

It's just you. This is a diamond all day longThe prodigal ladies who are obsessed with money always harbor evil thoughts in their own hearts and always think about others with a villain's heart. "

Jia Lian said, waving to Daiyu, as if he wanted to care about her.

Wang Xifeng was very angry after hearing what Jia Lian said, and Jia Lian argued and argued. Well, why do you need to carry out personal attacks?

Seeing that Daiyu turned a blind eye to Jia Lian's wave, she felt so happy that after glaring at Jia Lian, she actually burst into laughter.

Daiyu was naturally inconvenient to approach Jia Lian in front of Wang Xifeng. Moreover, she still remembered that Jia Lian kissed her little hand by cheating her by giving her something.

So these days, I have been a little on guard.

As for what Wang Xifeng said about Jia Lian coveting her Lin family property, Daiyu didn’t take it to heart at all.

Let’s not worry about it for now. She said she didn’t think Jia Lian would covet the Lin family’s property. After all, Jia Lian’s ability to make money was enviable even to the old lady and her aunt.

Furthermore, she didn’t care about the Lin family’s property. How. These matters were arranged by her father. Since he had entrusted the second brother Lian with full authority during his lifetime, it was naturally the second brother Lian's business and had nothing to do with her.

On the contrary, she heard Jia Lian tease Wang Xifeng What she said was interesting, and seeing that Wang Xifeng was not angry, but smiling so heartily, she also smiled for no reason.

Perhaps, her choice was indeed right. Brother Lian and Lian The second sister-in-law is a very good person. It must be very interesting to live with them.
