The Heavens Begin with Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 106 Sister Lin wants to save Brother Bao

There was a conflict between two people from the Xue family, and the second master Xue had several teeth knocked out.

The news quickly spread throughout the two governments, shocking everyone who heard it.

The fact that the Xue family and Jia Yucun had conspired to murder Xue Pan had long been known to everyone in the two mansions. As a result, Aunt Xue had people change her name to Aunt Wang, and planned to sever all ties with the Xue family. So the conflict between the two families was predictable, but no one guessed that Aunt Xue would actually hit someone!
That delicate and weak woman was actually so angry that she resorted to violence. How much injustice must she have suffered to do such a thing!
Everyone immediately sympathized with Aunt Xue and began to condemn the masters of the Xue family who had never come to Beijing.

As for why they only condemned the few masters of the Xue family who did not come to Beijing, but did not condemn the second master of the Xue family who was nearby, it was of course because the second master Xue had been giving rewards very frequently recently and had paid enough protection fees!

What's more, Xue Baoqin was also a person who knew how to coax people. She made the old lady smile every day and was very much loved by the old lady. She was kept by her side all day long, and even Daiyu, her own granddaughter, was outshined by her.

With these two approaches, people in the mansion couldn't open their mouths even if they wanted to stand on Aunt Xue's side!

Of course, if Aunt Xue increases the reward, that would be another matter.

Mrs. Wang, who could have taken sides, pretended to be dead at this moment, not saying a word, and even acquiesced to the spread of the news, watching the two families fight each other.

What kind of person is Master Xue Er? He has been in the business world for a long time and is very sensitive to the trend of the times. After realizing this, he took the lead in increasing his silver-scattering offensive.

Sure enough, within a few days, everyone in the mansion began to praise Baoqin, and there were even "rumors" spreading that Baoqin had the qualities of a young lady.

If Daiyu didn't have the magical power of "predicting dreams" to help her, I'm afraid she would have been inclined towards the "perfect match between Qin and Yu".

As for where this "rumor" came from, it's hard to say.

Anyway, after Master Xue Er heard this rumor from his subordinates, he was also confused.

The rumor he had people spread at the beginning was clearly that the Xue Wang family was extremely greedy and had emptied the business of the imperial merchants. They wanted to use the empty shell shops to frame the Xue family, and when they were found out, they became angry and beat people up. But how did the rumor become like this as it spread?
Could it be that Mrs. Xue Wang also used money to suppress the news?
Master Xue thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. However, in response to this new "news", his businessman's mind couldn't help but start to work again.

He had two goals in coming to Beijing this time.

Or he could take away Baochai's marriage and let Baoqin marry Mr. Zhan, and then let Baochai marry a man to take over the affairs of the imperial merchant.

Or he could marry Baoqin to the son of Mei Hanlin, fully support Mei Hanlin to enter the cabinet, and take charge of the imperial merchant affairs himself.

But now looking at the attitude of that shrew Xue Wangshi, it is most likely that we will not be able to get the cooperation of Xue Wangshi for the first goal, so we can only try again with Master Zhan.

Mei Hanlin was still ambiguous and refused to even let the two children meet. I'm afraid the result of the second goal would not be good. Maybe we would have to place a heavy bet on giving Mei Hanlin enough support before we could move forward with this matter.

But those officials are all black-hearted. Master Xue, who had just learned that he had been cheated by Jia Yucun once, is now quite frightened and has no confidence in the integrity of these officials.

But now this "rumor" gave him a sudden impulse and he came up with a third idea.

If I could let my own Baoqin marry into the Jia family and establish a relationship with the royal family, wouldn't that be a hundred times better than Master Zhan or Hanlin Mei?

By then, there will be no need to rely on others to manage the Imperial Merchants, we can just manage it ourselves!
Mr. Xue Er, who has struggled in the business world for most of his life, knows one thing very well: there is no smoke without fire.

Most of the so-called rumors in this world have their origins. In fact, most of them are specially fabricated by someone and deliberately spread in order to achieve a certain purpose.

Especially this kind of rumor that came out of nowhere must have been spread by someone, but he was not sure who it was, whether the purpose was good or bad, and whether they were enemies or friends of the Xue family.

Although Jia Baoyu now spends all day around his own Baoqin, looking like he is deeply in love with her, such an important matter as marriage is not something that children can decide. Ultimately, it still depends on the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words.

But he had already found out that the old lady of the Jia family intended to marry Miss Lin to her grandson.

It would be fine if Miss Lin was from an ordinary family, with both her parents dead and no support. But Miss Lin happened to be Lady Jia's granddaughter and had the ability to "predict dreams". It was hard to say what choice the Jia family would make in the end.

These rumors are just rumors, and he is not sure about the Jia family's attitude.

What he was most worried about was that Jia Baoyu fell in love with his daughter and wanted to play with her, so he spread rumors, but the elders of the Jia family were not interested in this.

Therefore, Master Xue II sternly warned Baoqin to protect herself and never let anyone eat her in private, but her relationship with Jia Baoyu must be harmonious and there must not be any cracks.

Baoqin was also quite embarrassed at first, but after interacting with Baoyu for a while, she felt relieved, because this second brother Bao was really a real bootlicker, and she was not worried at all that he would have a rift with her family.

I have to say that Jia Baoyu is really a friend to women. It is difficult for any beautiful woman to have a bad impression of him after being in contact with him for a long time.

As the relationship between the two grew closer, the story of this perfect match between Qin and Yu spread more and more widely.

Of course Aunt Xue is not someone who is easy to get along with. She just spreads rumors, who doesn't do that?

Since Xue Lao Er had the guts to push his daughter towards the Zhan family, why didn't she go with the flow, give him a hand, and make it a good thing for once.

Anyway, Xue Baoqin is quite pretty, so it's not a loss for the master to enjoy her!

Then the news that Xue Baoqin came to Beijing to snatch the marriage from Xue Baochai also spread, and the original three women competing for the husband had an additional force added, making it a four-woman competition.

Of course, Yingchun's family is the only one in power now, so Xue Baoqin is challenging the solid position of the second lady Jia Yingchun.

At the same time, Aunt Xue also released the news that Baochai's health was gradually improving, saying that after taking the medicine prescribed by the genius doctor Zhang Youshi, her condition was under control.

Now there are even more people watching the fun.

Those gossips in the mansion are the happiest!

While they were accepting Master Xue's money, they told everyone in the mansion that "Qin Yu's marriage" was a match made in heaven. Miss Xue was a dignified and generous person, and was a perfect match for him. She was much better than Miss Lin, a mean woman.
On the one hand, she took money from Aunt Xue and told everyone that Xue Baoqin was determined to become a viscountess, and she would not give face to her own sister. The second young lady was like a wooden man, who would not move unless pushed. I am afraid she is no match for Miss Xue.

If an outsider didn't know the situation, he would probably think that Mr. Zhan and Jia Baoyu were competing to be the dog licker!

Under the silver bullet offensive, these two pieces of news quickly spread throughout the mansion and everyone knew about it.

As for Aunt Xue's words that Baochai had recovered from her illness, no one believed it. They just thought it was a rumor spread against Xue Baoqin. Otherwise, the illness would have been cured sooner or later, so why did it get better at this time?

These rumors naturally reached Daiyu, making her even more upset.

That day, she was flipping through the pages of a book when someone outside came to report that her sister Xichun had arrived.

She put down the book, welcomed Xichun in, and asked with a smile:

"How come Sister Xichun has time to come to see me? Did you find out that my previous dream was actually wrong?"

Xichun ignored Lin Daiyu's expectant expression and said:
"No, Sister Lin's predictive dream is extremely accurate. I believe it."

"I came to see Sister Lin this time because I wanted to ask, besides riding horses and archery, is there anything else special about me in your prophetic dream?"

"Uh..." Now Lin Daiyu found it difficult to speak.

Could it be that both of them became concubines of the Zhan family?
Isn't this asking for a beating?

After hesitating for a while, Sister Lin said evasively:

"As far as I can remember, your hairstyle wasn't like this. It was simply combed up and hung high at the back of your head, tied with a red hairband."

"The clothes she was wearing were not modern women's clothes, but a very tight-fitting women's riding clothes. I had never seen them before, and they looked very heroic."

At this point, Xichun shouted:

"Wait a minute, let someone bring the brush and ink first, you talk and I'll draw, let's see what it looks like."

Sister Lin suddenly realized and said with a smile:

"I almost forgot that Sister Xichun is best at painting, so it would be nice to draw it for us to see."

So the two of them, one talking and the other drawing, soon came up with a picture of "Xichun winning the martial arts competition". Although it was not exactly like the real thing, it was somewhat similar.

Xichun asked many more details before happily leaving with the painting.

As soon as she left, Baoyu came.

"My dear sister, look what I brought you?"

Seeing him with his hands behind his back and a mysterious look, Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes and smiled:
"You have a frightening personality, you are always startled, who knows what new things you see, you think it is a good thing, and you eagerly use it to please others."

Baoyu was not angry even after being scolded. He carefully took out a bird cage from behind him and gently placed it on the table in front of Lin Daiyu. He lifted the curtain covering the bird, revealing a bird with a curved beak that looked strange, and colorful feathers that were very beautiful and gorgeous. It was a parrot.

When Lin Daiyu saw it, she liked it very much. She smiled and stretched out her fingers to tease the bird.

"Come on, call twice!"

"Learn from me...Brother Bao...Brother Bao..."

The bird jumped around in the cage, looking at her with its head tilted to the side, but said nothing.

Seeing that she liked it, Baoyu also laughed, took some bird food to feed the bird, and teased it:
"Call me Miss Lin... Miss Lin..."

The bird just lowered its head and ate, and ignored him.

When Sister Lin saw this, she poked Baoyu with a smile, saying:
"This bird is stupid, nothing like me, it's clearly some stupid goose."

Baoyu also laughed and teased the bird, saying:
"Then don't call me Sister Lin, just Brother Bao... Brother Bao..."

Who knows, the bird may have been full, it jumped twice and suddenly cried out:
"Baoqin...Baoqin..."

The smile on Lin Daiyu's face disappeared immediately. She threw the bird food in her hand into the cage, turned around and left.

"Since you care so much about her, why don't you send her to the next door instead of sending her to me?"

Although Baoyu still visits Daiyu every day, Daiyu and Baoqin live together. But the amorous brother Bao tries to please both sides every time he comes.

It is said that if loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal.

Sister Lin has always been narrow-minded, and now she is even more suspicious whether Brother Bao comes to see her or Sister Baoqin every time.

Don’t you see that the birds are calling Baoqin’s name?
This bird cannot speak out of thin air. It must be taught by someone. So who taught it the word "Baoqin"?

Seeing that Sister Lin was angry again, Baoyu panicked and hurriedly explained:
"This parrot was given to me by my brother Xue Ke. I thought this bird was fun, so I hurriedly brought it to you. I had no idea that this bird had actually learned to talk!"

"It must have learned this from Brother Xue Ke when he was talking about his sister. I didn't teach it to him!"

Sister Lin, however, did not give Baoyu an excuse to retreat, but just turned her face away and said:

"Oh, I thought your Master Bao had found it for me, but I didn't expect it was given to me by someone else!"

"Then you have to give the right gift to the right person. The owner of this bird is next door. You gave it to the wrong person!"

Baoyu stamped his feet angrily and said:

"My sister is picking on me again!"

"Brother Xue Ke may have such intention, but I have absolutely no such intention!"

"I swear to heaven, if I had known that the bird was calling my sister Baoqin's name, I would never have brought it here to make you angry!"

Of course, Lin Daiyu also knew this truth, but she was just a stubborn person. No matter what she thought in her heart, she would never forgive others with her words.

"Well, yes, of course you wouldn't bring it here to make me angry. You must have secretly hidden the bird at home, and let it sing a few times when you think of someone."

After hearing this, Baoyu became more and more anxious, but he couldn't get angry with Lin Daiyu, so in a rage he slammed the cage away.

The cage was made of nothing but bamboo and was not very strong. It broke apart immediately when it hit the ground.

The parrot inside was frightened, and it flapped its wings and flew away, still screaming.

"Baoqin...Baoqin..."

Lin Daiyu became more and more angry. She flicked her sleeves and walked into the inner room. After entering the room, she flicked her hands and slammed the door shut with a bang, locking Baoyu in the outer room.

Baoyu stomped his feet several times, walked around the room with a red face, smashed a few cups, and finally left in a huff.

Because so many things had happened recently, one after another, all at once, Lin Daiyu couldn't help feeling depressed. She tossed and turned in bed that night and couldn't fall asleep the whole night, leaving Mr. Zhan, who had come from afar, waiting for her for half the night in vain.

It was almost dawn when Lin Daiyu finally fell into a drowsy sleep. When she woke up again, she felt sore all over and could not use any strength at all.

Xueyan hurried over, put her hand on her forehead, and she was immediately startled.

"Oh, why is it so hot!"

"Come quickly, the young lady is sick, go get a doctor!"

The courtyard suddenly became a mess. Some people were making ginger soup, some were preparing hot towels. After a lot of trouble, the imperial physician finally arrived. He examined Lin Daiyu's illness and said that she had excessive heart fire and a weak liver. He then prescribed some medicine and told her to take good care of herself and not to overwork herself.

After Xueyan sent the imperial physician away, she hurriedly asked someone to boil some medicine, while she continued to wipe the young lady's sweat and reduce her fever.

When Baoyu heard the news, he hurried over to visit the patient, but Sister Lin was still angry and refused to see him.

Baoyu was pacing around outside the yard in a panic, his face flushed and his eyes bloodshot, obviously he was extremely anxious.

Everyone was afraid that he might get into trouble again, so they hurried to comfort him:

"Miss Lin has always been weak and has been sick a lot. It's not a big deal and she will be fine in a few days."

After much persuasion, Baoyu was finally persuaded to leave and wait until Daiyu recovered from her illness before coming back again.

But who would have thought that this time Lin Daiyu's illness was particularly lingering and difficult to treat. It did not get better for many days and even had a tendency to worsen.

Baoyu became worried and frightened again, and wandered outside Lin Daiyu's yard all day, muttering to himself, "It's all my fault... It's all my fault..."

Seeing that he was showing signs of going insane, everyone was frightened and tried to coax him:

"Ms. Lin's illness this time is most likely not caused by you, but by the previous precognitive dream."

"Just think about it, what kind of magical power is this to predict the future? It's clearly revealing the secrets of heaven!"

"This has revealed the secret, how can God not be angry?"

"This is a punishment from heaven!"

After hearing this, Baoyu's whole body trembled violently, his body stiffened and he stared blankly into the yard. He looked like a walking corpse, without a sound at all.

Everyone was shocked and tried to comfort him with words.

"For a case of divine punishment like this, taking medicine is useless. We have to pray to the gods, burn incense and make a vow. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."

Baoyu suddenly came to his senses, jumped up, and shouted that he wanted to become a monk.

"I will become a monk in the temple, burn incense and pray for Sister Lin every day, asking the Buddha to bless Sister Lin to live a peaceful life without illness or disaster!"

This was very hard for the people around him. After all their efforts, the situation only got worse.

There was no other choice but to send someone to report to their master as soon as possible.

Soon, Grandmother Jia and Mrs. Wang rushed over, hugged Baoyu, called him their darling, and cried like a tearful man, but Baoyu insisted on becoming a monk and burning incense to pray for Sister Lin.

Finally, it was Baoqin who gave an idea and persuaded:
"Grandfather, since Brother Bao wants to pray for Sister Lin, then just buy a substitute for Brother Bao!"

"As far as I know, the Duke's ancestor had a substitute, and the late emperor called him 'the Great Illusionary Immortal'."

When Grandmother Jia heard this, she slapped her thigh and exclaimed in surprise:

"Yes, Qin girl is really smart and considerate. This method is really useful!"

After saying this, he turned to Baoyu and said:

"My dear Baoyu, you want to become a monk, but what should I and your mother do?"

"Since you want to pray for Miss Lin, it doesn't matter whether you become a monk yourself or not. Just do as Miss Qin said and find a substitute to become a monk on your behalf."

Baoyu was about to refuse to give in, but he saw his father had rushed over and was standing behind Lady Jia, glaring at him. He immediately became like a mouse seeing a cat, and the anger in his heart disappeared by 90%, and he agreed reluctantly.

Only then did Grandmother Jia feel relieved. She ordered people to find a suitable replacement, while she held Baoyu tightly and refused to let go, constantly persuading him.

After this incident, Jia's mother and Wang Fu-ren's impression of Bao-qin became better. And because the rumors of "leaking the secret" and "heaven's punishment" spread, everyone felt that Dai-yu might not make it this time, and they all felt sorry for her.

Even Lady Wang, who didn't like her, shed a few tears for her. Grandmother Jia burst into tears and was filled with grief whenever she mentioned her poor granddaughter.

But the reason why Sister Lin was ill was simply because she was too worried, and she didn’t get enough rest, or maybe she caught a cold, which caused her to have a high fever.

Although the illness was indeed much more serious this time, the imperial physician was no pushover and the medicines he prescribed were very effective for the condition. After half a month, Lin Daiyu's health finally recovered.

Upon seeing this, Xueyan hurriedly spread the news.

During these days, everyone in the mansion has been secretly preparing for the funeral of their young lady. The people from various families look at the maids around Daiyu with pity and covetousness.

If this news is not spread out, who knows what strange things will happen in the mansion!

After receiving this good news, Jia's mother and others came to visit and invited the imperial physician to come for treatment, only then were they sure that the disease was really cured.

When everyone saw this, they just thought that this time the punishment from heaven was over, or that God's punishment was not intended to take anyone's life, but was just a minor punishment for a serious warning.

Grandmother Jia was also very happy and sent someone to the temple to donate incense money.

Baoyu was even more delighted, thinking that his sincerity had moved God. He quickly asked people to prepare offerings and went to the temple to fulfill his vow. Then he ran to Daiyu to take credit for it.

As for Mrs. Wang, no one knows what she is thinking.

Perhaps it was the long-term illness that made Lin Daiyu's resentment disappear, or perhaps it was Baoyu's desire to become a monk that moved her, anyway, this pair of infatuated couple reconciled.

But feelings are something that come and go quickly. Who knows if they can still get along well next time they have a quarrel?
Baoqin's existence has now become an invisible boulder between the two of them. No one mentions it, but everyone knows it is there.

During the days when Lin Daiyu was ill, Baoqin had left an excellent reputation in the mansion through her personal charm and financial diplomacy.

If we really talk about emotional intelligence, Lin Daiyu is not worthy of being compared with Baoqin.

After all, one is a little girl who has been living in a hostel with no one to educate her since childhood, while the other is an important commodity carefully cultivated by a merchant. They are not on the same level at all.

Although Rongguo Mansion is also Lin Daiyu's grandmother's home, the Rongguo Mansion itself has very poor family education. They can't even educate their own children, so how can they educate others?

Not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparing goods.

Compared with Baoqin, no one thinks Daiyu is suitable to be the mistress of the house.

Originally, after Daiyu acquired the power of "predicting dreams", she could still compete with Baoqin. But now everyone knows that the use of this power will bring down divine punishment and it cannot be used indiscriminately. Suddenly, her original popularity has been discounted.

Although Lin Daiyu herself did not go out, the maids around her could receive all kinds of rumors in the mansion. Of course, they were well aware of these things, so they became more and more disgusted with Baoqin.

As the saying goes, you dream about what you think about during the day. That night, Sister Lin saw Baoqin in her dream... as Mr. Zhan's concubine.

Lin Daiyu opened her eyes in her dream, slowly sat up, looked around, and saw that she was in a strange and spacious room.

The snow-white walls, the large carved wooden bed, the soft and springy mattress, the exquisite yet unfamiliar furniture and decorations, and the crystal chandelier...

All of this looks extremely luxurious. In comparison, even Rongqing Hall where the old lady lives looks like the home of a wealthy country man.

Sister Lin stretched out her hand and gently pressed the mattress beneath her, feeling the soft and comfortable sensation. Just as she was in a daze, she heard someone behind her chuckling and saying:
"Sister Lin, what are you daydreaming about?"

"It's our turn to serve the master tonight."

"If you don't come over, the master's treasure will be taken by my sister alone."

Sister Lin turned around suddenly and saw a handsome man with his upper body naked, sitting not far behind her, holding a beautiful woman in his arms. Both of them were looking at her with a smile, and the words just now came from the woman's mouth.

Lin Daiyu recognized the half-naked man at a glance. He was her master. Oh, no, that's not right. He was her future master. Oh, no, no, that's not right either. It was Master Zhan!

Looking at the beautiful woman with a flushed face, lying limply in Master Zhan's arms, almost wanting to rub her entire body into Master Zhan's body, Lin Daiyu was stunned for a long time before she recognized that this was Xue Baoqin.

At this time, Xue Baoqin was no longer that immature girl, but now her body was plump and round, with curves in all the right places, and she had obviously been fully developed.

Moreover, Baoqin, who was lying in Master Zhan's arms at this time, was in disarray. The clothes she wore were thin and transparent, leaking air from all sides, exposing her fair and slender limbs.

Sister Lin blushed at the sight of her, and hastily turned her head away, shouting:
"How dare you be so shameless!"

After hearing this, Baoqin covered her mouth and started to laugh, shouting:

"Sister Lin is really interesting. This is the one who came from the past again!"

"Good sister, tell me quickly, which year did you come from?"

"Has my entire family been executed?"

"What do you mean by execution of the whole family?"

When Lin Daiyu heard the words "the whole family will be executed", her heart skipped a beat. She was about to turn around and ask what was going on, but she turned her head back halfway, closed her eyes and shouted:

"Why don't you change those shameful clothes quickly so we can talk properly!"

Baoqin behind him ignored it and just said jokingly:

"Good sister, please look down at your own clothes before you talk about shame or anything like that."

After hearing this, Lin Daiyu quickly opened her eyes and looked down, only to see her two white and plump thighs exposed nakedly, and the two bulging breasts on her chest were half sticking out from the opening of her tight clothes.

Subconsciously, she pinched the unfamiliar granary lightly to make sure that it was indeed her family's property. However, she did not expect that this action was seen clearly by Master Zhan and the other man behind her, causing them to burst into laughter.

Lin Daiyu's face suddenly turned red with shame. Just as she was about to get angry, she felt someone coming up from behind and twisting her head to the side. When she looked, she saw a huge dressing mirror placed beside the bed, and her figure was reflected in the mercury mirror.

Lin Daiyu in the mirror has a rosy face and a very good complexion. Her skin is fair and delicate, and her figure is plump and mature. She is no longer the sickly and thin look she used to be. Instead, she has a healthy, plump beauty.

When she looked more closely, she saw that her face in the mirror was flushed with joy and shyness, but in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, she could clearly see the happiness and joy hidden beneath that face.

"Is this... my future self?" Lin Daiyu murmured.

"Of course!" Baoqin, who was behind her, pressed her equally plump breasts against Lin Daiyu's back and replied with a smile.

"Since being taken into the master's room, Sister Lin has become more and more beautiful, and this place has become larger and larger."

As she spoke, she reached out her hands from behind, cupped Lin Daiyu's two soft breasts, and weighed them gently.

Sister Lin suddenly woke up, trembled, and rolled off the bed, pulling a thin blanket to wrap her body tightly, and shouted in shame:

"Who is your sister?"

"Since you have entered the Zhan family as a concubine, why are you still pestering Brother Bao?"

When Baoqin heard this, she laughed so hard that her body shook and even tears came out.

"After so many years, Sister Lin's personality hasn't changed much. She's still so petty...ah, I forgot, this is Sister Lin from the past."

"Ah, Sister Lin in the past was really interesting. She actually still misses her brother Bao!"

Seeing that Sister Lin's eyes were round and about to get angry, Baoqin quickly stopped laughing and said seriously:

"Don't worry, Sister Lin. The rumors about the perfect match between Qin and Yu were spread by the Second Madam. They have nothing to do with my family."

"I later got engaged to Mei Hanlin's son, and didn't marry your brother Baoyu."

"Later, because of the Mei Hanlin family's affairs, my family was implicated and the whole family was executed. I was also sold to the Jiaofang Bureau. It was all thanks to the master who bought me back, otherwise I would have been reduced to a prostitute."

After hearing what Baoqin said, Sister Lin was shocked and threw all her anger behind her head. She said in a trembling voice:

"Your family...was executed?"

Baoqin sighed, shook her head and said:

"That's all in the past, why bring it up again!"

"Come, come, dear sister, it's a rare opportunity for you to come to the future, why don't you come and enjoy the benefits of the master!"

"After you go back, remember to enter the palace early. The rule for concubines in our Zhan Mansion is that the one who enters the palace first is the senior."

Having said that, Baoqin jumped off the bed, picked up Lin Daiyu and threw her onto the bed. Amid Lin Daiyu's screams, she pulled away the blanket wrapped around her, then gently pushed her on the back and pressed her down between Master Zhan's legs.

Lin Daiyu knelt on the bed, looking at the hideous and ferocious creature so close to her. Suddenly her mind went blank and her heart began beating like a drum again.

Seeing Mr. Zhan leaning forward, Sister Lin couldn't help but scream "Ah" and woke up from her dream again.

As expected, with a bad heart, it is difficult even to have a wet dream!

Lin Daiyu suddenly sat up from the bed, gasping for breath, trying to calm her rapidly beating heart, her mind becoming increasingly confused.

Are the things I saw in the dream real?

Is it all true, or just part of it?
Is it possible to have the wrong dream?

"Miss, are you having a precognitive dream again?" Xueyan was also awakened by her scream. She hurriedly got up, held the lamp and came over, patting her gently from behind.

In a dream, one's own consciousness is very weak, and many times one cannot fully control one's thoughts and behaviors.

After waking up from the dream, Lin Daiyu realized that she had forgotten to ask the question in the dream.

Since Baoqin did not marry Brother Bao, who did Brother Bao marry later?
Baoqin was sold to the Music Bureau and then bought back by Master Zhan. So how did she become Master Zhan's concubine?

All these doubts made Lin Daiyu's mind a mess, and she became more and more depressed.

She took a few sips of water from the cup that Xueyan handed over, then waved her hand and fell asleep again, intending to fall asleep early and continue her previous dream.

But things did not go as she wished. She had a lot of strange dreams that night, but her mind was confused and she could not remember them at all. It was obvious that they were just ordinary dreams and not the predictive dreams she wanted.

It was after noon that she reluctantly got up from the bed, washed and ate listlessly, thinking about taking some more sleep to see if she could have the predictive dream again.

But she had just woken up and couldn't sleep much. She tossed and turned in bed for a long time but couldn't fall asleep, so she had to sit up and find a few books to read to kill time.

Just when I was bored, I suddenly heard a report saying that Baochai was coming.

Sister Lin hurried out to welcome the person in.

Perhaps because they shared the same hatred for a common enemy, with the comparison with Baoqin, the relationship between Daiyu and Baochai became better and better, and they became as close as sisters.

After they sat down, Baochai asked with a smile:

"Sister, have you been feeling better lately?"

Sister Lin smiled and said:
"Thanks to Sister Laobao for asking, I'm almost well now."

After hearing this, Baochai asked hesitantly:

"So is my sister sick this time, or is she...a punishment from heaven for revealing the secret?"

Sister Lin hesitated for a while, not daring to answer casually, so she could only say:

"I feel like it's an illness, but who knows if divine punishment can come through illness?"

"If my prophetic dreams were all false, then I would definitely say that it was not a punishment from God, but an illness. However... now it seems that many of the things in the dream were true."

"I just don't know now how much of that dream is true, or...all of it is true."

After Lin Daiyu finished speaking in a hoarse voice, her face became full of worry.

This series of things happened to her, and no matter how much she didn't want to admit it, she had to face the reality.

But this reality is too tragic for her!

My precious brother...how could he...

Baochai seemed not to notice her expression, but asked softly:

"Then, sister, do you know if the things in this dream can be changed?"

"Hmm?" Sister Lin was stunned, not understanding, "What changes?"

"It's just going against the will of heaven and changing your fate!"

Baochai sighed softly:
"If I knew what the future would be like, and what regrettable things would happen in the future, then I could take the initiative to intervene in advance, avoid disasters and avoid things that might have happened."

"Wouldn't that change the future?"

"For example, if I had known that I would die from a lack of Lengxiang Pills in the future, I could have stockpiled more in advance and naturally would not be in the current predicament!"

After being reminded by Baochai, Sister Lin suddenly understood. She slapped her thigh and exclaimed in surprise:

"oops!"

"Sister, your words really woke me up from my dream!"

"You are so right!"

She stood up excitedly, walked around the room, and thought rapidly in her mind.

In the dream, she learned that she completely broke off her relationship with Brother Bao after she caught him and Rong having an affair in the East Palace.

But now, perhaps the two of them don’t have any relationship yet. If they can be separated in advance and prevented from doing anything deviant, doesn’t it mean that their brother Bao is still the pure and uncontaminated good brother!
Moreover, in her dream she became a concubine in Mr. Zhan's family, which made her find it even more difficult to accept.

Although Lord Zhan is a good person, she already has Brother Bao in her heart, so there is no way she would marry someone else, let alone become someone's concubine.

But since she knew the result, she could easily figure out in her dream how she became the concubine of the Zhan family, and then make arrangements in advance in reality to reverse the result and change the future shown in this predictive dream.

After turning around a few times, Sister Lin stood in front of Baochai and announced with great joy:

"Sister Bao, I have decided to change my fate!"

"I want to change all the bad things I saw in my dreams, turn bad things into good things, and make sure that things that shouldn't happen will never happen!"

Baochai looked at the high-spirited Lin Daiyu and sighed:
"Good sister, your aspirations are certainly good, but have you forgotten?"

"If you dare to defy fate, you will most likely be punished by heaven!"

"This time you just revealed the secret, but you have been lying in bed for half a month. How heavy is the price you should pay for defying the will of heaven and changing your fate?"

After hearing this, Lin Daiyu felt as if cold water was poured over her head in the coldest days of winter. She felt cold from head to toe and stood there motionless.

Baochai watched as the expression on Lin Daiyu's face changed rapidly, sometimes red, sometimes white. It was obvious that she was struggling internally. So she said nothing, but just sat there, waiting for her to make her own decision.

Lin Daiyu stood there in a daze, replaying everything in her dream in her mind several times, and recalling the sweet days she spent with Brother Bao. She felt a mixture of emotions, and only felt sour in her heart and bitter in her mouth.

It turned out that she had been in tears without realizing it, and the tears had already flowed into her mouth.

Lin Daiyu took a deep breath, her expression gradually calmed down, and a firm look gradually appeared in her eyes.

Finally, she sat down gently beside Baochai, looked at the clear sky outside the courtyard, and murmured to herself, as if she was talking to herself.

"Brother Bao and I have been childhood sweethearts. I cannot let him go astray like this."

"No matter what the price is, even if I have to die under divine punishment, I will definitely change this miserable fate!"

"I must save Brother Bao!"
