Daiyu's illness caused by her anger lingered for more than a month until the end of summer before she slowly recovered.
When she could barely get up, she only felt that everyone had become strange.
Baoyu seemed to be always in a hurry recently. Even if they met, they could not say much before he left in a hurry.
The Three Springs sisters, Tanchun also spoke less. Yingchun cherished spring and did not interact much, now they could not even see each other.
The maidservants did not come to Xiaoxiang Hall anymore.
When Zi Juan and Xueyan went out, they were also watched by everyone.
She only thought that it was because of her illness that she had to use this spiritual medicine every day, that mountain treasure, and invite a doctor to torment her, the people in the residence were tired of it.
What was even weirder was that Du Er did not come to find her.
She was bored on the bed and wanted to talk to her friends. Since Baoyu did not come, she sent someone to invite Du Er.
Who would have thought that Du 'er would refuse to come after so many excuses.
She thought to herself: Even you despise my illness? To think that I recognized you as my second best friend!
Thus, in a fit of pique, she did not send anyone to invite him.
Only her grandmother treated her the same and often came to visit her.
She fell asleep after drinking the medicine. When she woke up, she would often see the silver-haired old woman sitting by her bed and muttering: "I only have one granddaughter … those bastards … the heavens might as well punish me!"
Turbid but warm tears fell on Daiyu's sick and bony hand.
Daiyu leaned her face on her grandmother's old hand and closed her eyes. At this moment, she felt relieved. She thought: Even if it was dirty and smelly, so what?
Grandmother, Baoyu, the people who loved her, were all here.
Even if they all died together, it wouldn't be a big deal.
That day, Daiyu could finally get up to relax. She saw that Zi Juan and the others were all asleep and did not want to wake them up. She put on her clothes and went to see the lotus flowers in the pond alone.
The lotus flowers were tall and the lotus leaves were round and round, covering her thin and weak body.
A few young maidservants who had entered the Grand View Garden to deliver things whispered, "… Everyone in the family is either short-lived or sickly. They're all a little crazy. Even that crazy beggar outside wants to be his relative! "
Another little girl said, "Shh, do you want to die? If such words were to spread to the ears of the masters, you would be in for a good show! No matter what the people in his family are like, isn't our grandaunt still part of his family? "
Daiyu shuddered when she heard this.
She heard the little girl in front of her say, "You don't allow people to talk about it? What kind of master was she? Both her parents had passed away, and she had been living in the residence. Moreover, these days, he had been sending her bird's nest, caterpillar grass, ginseng, and all kinds of gold and jade, but it didn't seem to be any better. Sisters in the residence, the few of us have been running all over the place for her illness, delivering medicine, inviting doctors to wash her medicine. We're even more tired than dogs! "
The other maidservant didn't say anything. After a while, she said, "Don't say that. Miss Lin is also pitiful. Her parents had passed away when she was young, and she didn't have any brothers or sisters at home. She was also weak and sickly. She lived in the residence and finally got some care, but there was a crazy beggar outside who claimed to be her uncle. He made everyone in the residence feel uneasy. "
Another one said, "I say, wouldn't it be better to let her go with that beggar? Fortunately, the elders in the residence treated her as their young miss and didn't let that beggar ruin her reputation. They secretly filed a lawsuit and tied that beggar up and sent him to prison. I heard from my servant mother that the master's intention was to kill him in prison so that he wouldn't be a burden to Miss Lin. "
Another one said, "That beggar was also crazy. He could've said anything, but he had to implicate our relatives. The Lin family didn't recognize him. He even said that he was the younger brother of the Lin family's son-in-law and wanted to see Miss Lin. He lost his life for nothing. "
"It doesn't matter if he lost his life. I'm afraid that if word got out, Miss Lin would be angered again. If anyone dared to pretend to be her deceased uncle, wouldn't that be terrible? She thought too much. That's why the matriarch and the other grannies ordered that if anyone in the residence dared to say anything in front of her, they wouldn't end up well. Don't say anything else, are you afraid that the master won't chase you out? "
Daiyu already knew that she lived here and often troubled her uncle's family, so the people in the residence disliked her. Although she was trembling with anger at first, she forced herself to endure it. However, when she heard the last part, she vomited a mouthful of blood.
She stumbled and put on her clothes and returned to Xiaoxiang Hall in a daze.
Zi Juan heard the noise and got up to take a look. Daiyu's clothes were still stained with blood.
Seeing this, Zi Juan turned pale with fright and was about to ask when Daiyu suddenly asked, "Do you know?"
What do you mean she didn't know?
Daiyu didn't wait for an answer and muttered to herself, "I'll ask grandmother … I'll ask Baoyu …"
Zi Juan chased after her, wanting to pull her back. She didn't know where the sickly Daiyu got the strength from, but she pushed her back.
The little girl didn't even look at Zi Juan and walked out of the door like a ghost, heading out of the Grand View Garden.
However, just as she walked out of the door and into the bamboo forest not far away, someone covered her mouth and pulled her back, whispering, "You can't go! Shh, it's me. "
"… Du 'er?"
When Jia Lian came out of the yamen, dark clouds covered the sky and the wind was howling. The world was gloomy and gloomy.
After a while, it started to rain.
A child braved the rain and knocked on the roof, singing, "Open the yamen door to money. Don't come in if you have reason but no money. "
A servant held an umbrella for Jia Lian as they walked past the child. Behind them, a bloody and sloppy criminal was escorted out of the yamen.
The officer who escorted the criminal winked at Jia Lian. What he meant was that this person wouldn't live for more than ten days in exile.
Jia Lian's heart was sad, but she felt more relaxed. He smiled and threw a piece of silver to the street urchin. "You sang well. This is my reward for you."
The urchin cheered and ran away in the rain.
The prisoner's body had long been drenched by the rain. He lowered his head and listened to the officer's insults as he walked in silence.
Until a pair of skinny arms blocked their way.
A beautiful young lady stood in the rain.
Her jet-black hair was stuck to her cheeks, dripping with water. She was wearing a straw raincoat, and half of her clothes were wet.
She stared at the prisoner, and it was hard to tell whether her face was full of tears or rain.
The sound of the rain gradually became louder. Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip.
The prisoner recognized who it was at a glance. He was stunned.
Another young girl came running from behind. She was holding a bamboo hat and a curtained hat in her hands. She panted and shouted, "You ran so fast that your bamboo hat fell off. What if you get sick again?"
Seeing this, the girl suddenly stopped in her tracks.
