The Heavens Begin with Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 164: The home of the powerful... is so messy!

As the saying goes, what you think about during the day you will dream about at night. That night, when Lin Daiyu closed her eyes and opened them again, she saw the familiar environment again.

She subconsciously moved her body, and sure enough, the feeling of fullness filled her body again. When she lowered her head again, she saw Master Zhan's familiar hands, contributing to the development of Xiaolongbao.

Compared with Lin Daiyu's narrow-mindedness, her mind is not as broad as Baochai's. It can only be said that she is slightly better than the young lotus that has just begun to show its tip, and she is a rare resource.

However, Master Zhan is best at promoting secondary development of people, whether using external techniques to relax muscles and tendons or using secret medicine to open up meridians, he will allow women to evolve in a more perfect direction.

Therefore, the concubines in the Zhan Mansion, no matter what their backgrounds are, will soon develop again under the care of Master Zhan, and transform from "poor" to "rich".

Lin Daiyu is of course no exception. Ever since she was fed a lot of secret medicine that day, she has been feeling itchy on her chest and hopes someone can help her rub it.

Of course, Mr. Zhan is the best choice. Not only does he help during the day, but he also works overtime at night. He really has good intentions.

Of course, Lin Daiyu didn't know that it was the effect of the secret medicine. She just thought that she was aroused. She was shy and embarrassed to tell the people around her. Only in her dreams did she dare to be more unrestrained.

Thanks to the effect of the secret medicine, Lin Daiyu's myocardial function has been greatly improved. Mr. Zhan's actions in the dream can of course be a little more intense, and there is no need to worry about waking Lin Daiyu up from her dream if the scale is too large.

This kind of development is in line with Lin Daiyu's expectations, so she would not have any rejection in her dream.

After Lin Daiyu and Mr. Zhan had been intimate with each other during the day, their passion was already aroused, but their reason controlled them and they could not vent it. It was just the right time for them to indulge themselves in their dreams, and it was natural for them to have a good time with Mr. Zhan.

Anyway, this is a dream in the future, they have already become a family, and this is natural.

No matter how much indulgence you have in play, as soon as you wake up from the dream, everything will disappear into thin air, as if nothing had ever happened.

Seeing that he was under attack and losing blood continuously, Master Zhan quickly launched a counterattack, using his dragon claw hands above and the golden hoop stick below, and soon made Lin Daiyu exhausted.

With Lin Daiyu's small body, how could she be a match for Master Zhan? Soon she burst into tears and begged for mercy, uttering all kinds of shameful words.

Mr. Zhan called a timeout first, hugged Lin Daiyu and rested for a while, and kept throwing sweet words at her like they were free.

Most women value the emotional exchange that follows more, and Lin Daiyu is no exception. She likes this and lies lazily in Mr. Zhan's arms, chatting with him in all sorts of random places.

People cannot hide their thoughts in dreams, and Sister Lin was not on guard against Mr. Zhan, so as she spoke, she accidentally let out Mrs. Wang's request.

After listening to this, Mr. Zhan pondered for a moment, thinking about how coquettish Aunt Zhao was, and his heart was moved.

Marry a virtuous wife and a beautiful concubine. Anyone who can become a concubine of a wealthy family must be beautiful, and Aunt Zhao is the best among them.

As the son of a powerful family in the capital, Jia Zheng has certainly seen and experienced all that, but Aunt Zhao is still able to coax Jia Zheng around. It's not just because of her foxy skills, but also because of her first-class appearance and figure.

Apart from other things, compared to Mrs. Wang, Aunt Zhao is much better in appearance, figure, age and interests. In addition, due to her humble status, she is more willing to give up her face and humble herself, and is willing to flatter and cooperate in any way. When it comes to matters between men and women, she surpasses Mrs. Wang by a lot.

Master Zhan's heart moved, and suddenly the door opened and a new character came in.

"Master, my aunt and my mother are fighting again, causing unrest in the West Mansion. Huan Saner came to me and asked me to go back and mediate..."

Lin Daiyu thought the voice sounded familiar. She turned around, exclaimed, and crawled into the bed.

The person who came was Tanchun. When she saw Sister Lin suddenly shrink back, she came over with a smile, sat down beside the bed, pulled back the quilt, and said with a chuckle:

"Sister Lin is still so shy!"

"We don't even know how many times we've had these night talks together. Why are you still avoiding me when you see me now?"

"But the master just loves your shy look. Every time he feeds you medicine, he gives you a lot more."

"Could it be that my sister is using this method to seduce our master to stay with you often?"

Sister Lin was particularly uncomfortable with this sister Tanchun, who was so unfamiliar with her words and actions, and quickly shrank into Mr. Zhan's arms, still shyly retorting:

"Sister, what you said is so rude. It's just a girl's duty to be a little shy. How come it's my fault?"

Tanchun stretched out her hand and pinched her face, saying teasingly:
"Even though you've eaten so much nutrition, your mouth hasn't become any better. You're still as sharp-tongued as ever, just like my aunt."

"Sometimes I really doubt whether it was me or Sister Lin that Auntie gave birth to."

Daiyu Lin wanted to retort, but was hugged by Mr. Zhan, who started to make a second move, while at the same time using dialogue with Tanchun to advance the plot.

"Your Aunt Zhao and Madam Wang have a big fight every now and then. Even if you don't go back to mediate, they will soon stop fighting and nothing serious will happen. It's better for you to stay and make amends to Sister Lin and deepen the sisterly relationship."

Tanchun sighed:

"Master, you don't know that in the past, the Veil Society was in charge of the West Mansion. My mother was the eleventh child, and my aunt was the thirteenth child. Although they had some disagreements, the elder sister of the Veil Society was in charge of the overall situation. She would allow them to maintain a situation where they could fight but not break each other, and would not really hurt the harmony."

"But the Veil Society withdrew from the West Mansion a few days ago. Now there is no one in charge in the mansion. Without the suppression, I am afraid my mother will not tolerate my aunt. She will probably take the opportunity to vent all the resentment she has accumulated over the years."

"After all, I am my aunt's daughter, and I can't bear to see her suffer. This time I went back, I actually wanted to take sides."

"I have the master's support, so even my mother has to give me some face and not go too far with my aunt."

After hearing this, Master Zhan laughed and said:

"That's easy. I'll have someone send a letter to Aunt Zhao, inviting her to come visit my daughter and avoid Madam Wang's attention."

After hearing this, Tanchun blushed immediately, but after hesitating for a while, she nodded and agreed, "Then I'll trouble you, Master."

Mr. Zhan asked Zijuan to go to the West Mansion to deliver the message, while he reached out and pulled Tanchun over.

This time Tanchun did not refuse. She just hugged Lin Daiyu's thigh with a smile, picked up a magic weapon and joined the battle.

As more and more people participated in the war, the fighting naturally became more intense. After a long period of division and reunion, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was played out. In the end, Cao Cao won a great victory and unified the world.

Lin Daiyu woke up from the convulsions, dragged her tired body to change her clothes, and soon fell into a deep sleep again. However, the words "veil meeting" were already deeply engraved in her heart.

The next day, Mrs. Wang came again to inquire about the news.

"Lin girl, how did you and Nian Si discuss yesterday? What are the specific details? Is there anything we need to prepare?"

"Uh..." Sister Lin opened her mouth and then she remembered that she had been so busy flirting with Mr. Zhan that she had forgotten about the discussion.

She thought carefully about what Master Zhan said at that time, and said hesitantly:
"Brother Zhan seemed to say that as long as the mansion provides an empty room, he will naturally prepare the rest, and the mansion does not need to worry about it."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment and felt somewhat uneasy.

This matter concerns my daughter's future in the palace, so I cannot be careless.

But looking at Daiyu's expression, she knew that she might not be able to get any details from Daiyu.

Could it be that she needs to go to Mr. Zhan privately to confirm it?
Thinking of Master Zhan's strong, powerful and hot body, she couldn't help but feel a little feverish.

This...is not so good!
She is the mistress of the house and the master's wife, so she can't make any wrong moves!
The one who had an affair with Master Zhan was Xiao Eleven, but she had nothing to do with Madam Wang!
Just as Mrs. Wang was struggling internally, Daiyu opposite her also began to hesitate.

Some of the things she learned in her dream last night made her feel a little concerned.

Daiyu was not at all surprised that Tanchun suddenly became Mr. Zhan's concubine.

In her dreams, she has seen Li Wan, Wang Xifeng... These women who could not have had an affair with Master Zhan, all fell under Master Zhan's crotch. Even she herself became Master Zhan's concubine. So, no matter how many more women were taken into Master Zhan's room, she would not feel strange.

But what is the veil, and what strange things are these?

How come Mrs. Wang, the mistress of a mansion, is only ranked eleventh in this Veil Club?

Aunt Zhao also became Little Thirteen, so who is Little Twelve?

Who are the top ten?

From the few words she heard in her dream, Sister Lin could easily judge that the sisters who ranked higher in the ranking must have more power and influence in the Rongguo Mansion than Mrs. Wang, the mistress of the household.

She was not surprised to see that Mrs. Wang and Aunt Zhao had a fight. The two had always been at odds with each other, so it was normal for them to have a conflict.

Because of this nightmare incident, Mrs. Wang almost lost her life. Lin Daiyu knew best how much she hated Aunt Zhao.

She wanted to kill Aunt Zhao, but she endured it only because of the pressure from her uncle Jia Zheng and the concern for the impact on her elder sister, Empress Yuanchun.

But just by looking at Mrs. Wang asking her to find something to hold against Aunt Zhao in the future, Lin Daiyu knew that Mrs. Wang would never let it go, and would definitely take revenge severely after the incident had passed.

But in the future world of the dream, no matter how much Mrs. Wang hated Aunt Zhao, she could only accept the mediation of the sisters in the Veil Society and could not really do anything to Aunt Zhao, her younger sister.

This is hard for Lin Daiyu to believe!

Ever since the old lady passed away, Mrs. Wang has been holding all the power and is second only to the person in the mansion!

Theoretically, no one except Master Zheng should be able to suppress her and make her contain the hatred in her heart.

But this veil club just did it!

This is strange!

How come the Rongguo Mansion where she grew up suddenly felt so unfamiliar to her?

Another important question is, where did uncle Jia Zheng go?
Normally, the conflicts between the wives and concubines were suppressed by Master Zheng, so they would not get out of hand and lose the reputation of the mansion. But in the dream, she never heard any news about her uncle, and Huan Saner even ran to the Zhan Mansion to ask Tanchun to return to the West Mansion to mediate.

Could something have happened to my uncle?

In fact, Lin Daiyu and her uncle Jia Zheng did not have a very close relationship, but after her parents passed away, the old lady who loved her the most also passed away, and even the eccentric uncle died inexplicably.

Sister Lin was suddenly shocked to find that without her noticing, her relatives in the world had become fewer and fewer, and now her second uncle Jia Zheng was the only relative she had left.

It has come to this point that even those who weren't close have become close.

If even her second uncle was gone, she would really be all alone in this world, with no one to rely on.

Suddenly, Sister Lin understood why she would marry into the Jia Mansion as a concubine in the future and become a concubine of Master Zhan. In fact, everyone around her had died, and she was an ordinary woman, lonely and helpless. If she didn't want to be free from ties and live a life of seclusion, she was afraid that she had no choice but to marry Master Zhan.

As for finding another ideal husband, that is simply impossible.

She never goes out of the house all day and doesn't even know any outsiders. How can she find a husband? Is she just going to marry blindly and rely on luck?

It would be better to just live with Mr. Zhan, who knows his background well. After all, apart from being lustful, Mr. Zhan has no other shortcomings.

But if possible, Lin Daiyu would certainly like to have the support of her family. If she could save her second uncle's life, that would be the best.

She had never seen the old lady and eldest uncle in her dreams before, so she didn’t know where to start if she wanted to save them. But now she has some clues about her second uncle, but she doesn’t know if this veil has anything to do with his absence in the future.

Lin Daiyu dared not act rashly about this matter of changing her destiny, for fear that if she was not careful, her future would move in a worse direction.

But this matter involved her second uncle's life, and she felt unwilling to not change it.

The two of them just sat opposite each other, each with their own thoughts, and no one spoke for a while.

After a while, the two realized that the situation was a bit awkward. They looked at each other quickly and hurriedly spoke to ease the situation.

"Um..." The two of them spoke almost at the same time, and quickly became humble.

"Lin girl, you speak first."

"Madam, please speak first."

In fact, both of them spoke in a hurry and had no idea what they wanted to say.

After some humility, Mrs. Wang, as the elder, spoke first.

"Uh..." Madam Wang paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I have nothing to say. Since Nian Si has prepared everything, I will report this to the Master."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Lin Daiyu with a smile. It was Lin Daiyu's turn to speak.

Lin Daiyu had nothing to say, so she subconsciously asked about what was on her mind.

"Has ma'am ever heard of the Veil Society?"

She still didn't know what the veil was, when it had invaded the Jia Mansion, whether it had entered now, and whether Lady Wang and Aunt Zhao had joined in...

She had no idea about this series of questions, so she could only ask tentatively to see if Mrs. Wang knew about the veil, and then consider the following questions.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Mrs. Wang's expression suddenly changed. Her usually graceful face turned pale in an instant, and she stared at Sister Lin.

Sister Lin was also shocked by her reaction. Just as she was hesitating whether to continue asking, she saw Mrs. Wang collapse like a deflated ball, slumped down in her chair, and asked in a dry voice:

"You...know everything?"

“Uh…” Sister Lin swallowed her saliva and said with a choking sound, “In my dream, I knew that Madam was the Eleventh Little Girl of the Veil Society, and Aunt Zhao was the Thirteenth Little Girl of the Veil Society…”

Mrs. Wang was originally looking dejected, but when she suddenly heard Sister Lin mention that Aunt Zhao was the Thirteenth Little Lady, her heart skipped a beat and she became furious.

She suddenly sat up from her chair, raised her eyebrows and shouted:

"Who the hell is that little bitch? How can we let her join the Veil Society!"

"No, no one can let her get such a good thing for free!"

"I have to get rid of her before she joins the Society. Otherwise, if she really joins the Veiled Society, it will be difficult to touch her again!"

Mrs. Wang said this to herself, then took the opportunity to leave the table and walked away.

She didn't know that Daiyu had only heard one-sided content, and thought that she had figured out everything about the veil and knew that those inside were all Master Zhan's domestic monsters.

She thought that since Daiyu knew that she was Xiao Eleven, she must have known about her affairs as well. Daiyu was also destined to be the future eldest wife of the Zhan family, so she could be considered her "sister".

Now that Daiyu had revealed this matter, she felt extremely embarrassed. She left in a panic like a stray dog, and never wanted to face Lin Daiyu, her future "sister" again in embarrassment.

Daiyu stared in amazement as Mrs. Wang fled out of the room in two or three steps, but she didn't ask any of the questions in her mind.

But at least she knew some simple information and confirmed that the veil really existed and had already invaded the Jia Mansion. It also absorbed Mrs. Wang, the mistress of the Rongguo Mansion, as the Eleventh Lady, but Aunt Zhao had not yet become the Thirteenth Lady.

But from what Mrs. Wang said, it seemed that the Veil Society was a good place, and joining it would be a good thing, otherwise she would not have been so resistant to letting Aunt Zhao join, saying that she didn't want to give her an advantage.

If you think in this way, although the internal situation of the Veil Society is unclear and the purpose of recruiting women from the Jia family to join is unknown, it should have nothing to do with the second uncle's affairs, otherwise Mrs. Wang would definitely not have this attitude at this time.

Should we continue investigating from here?
Lin Daiyu walked around the room for a long time but still couldn't make up her mind.

She was afraid of doing something unnecessary and making the future worse, but now there seemed to be no other clues about her second uncle except the veil. If she didn't start from here, she would have no way to investigate!

Seeing her young lady circling the room like a donkey pulling a millstone, Zijuan simply reminded her:

"Miss, if you have any doubts and can't make a decision, you might as well ask Master Zhan for advice."

"He has always been well-informed, wealthy and powerful. He must have more ways to deal with things than a bunch of women like us."

"Of course, if it's inconvenient for him to know these things, then just pretend I never said anything."

After hearing this, Lin Daiyu thought about it carefully. Since Tanchun had told Mr. Zhan about the Veil Society in person in her dream, it was likely that the two of them would know about this organization in the future. So it seemed that there was no problem in telling Mr. Zhan now.

After figuring it out, Sister Lin hurriedly asked Zijuan to go to Zhan's house to deliver a letter, inviting Master Zhan to come over for a gathering.

Not long after, Master Zhan came over, took a bite as usual, and then said with a smile:
"My dear sister, it's only been one night since we last met, and you miss me so much?"

Sister Lin had something on her mind at this moment, but she ignored his teasing and just rolled her eyes beautifully, snuggled in his arms, and whispered:
"Brother Zhan, I want to tell you something. You must not tell anyone."

Master Zhan immediately raised his hand and swore:
"Don't worry, sister. I'm a very tight-lipped person. No man can get any information out of me!"

Sister Lin believed his lies and sighed:

"I had another prophetic dream last night. In it, I heard that the Second Madam and Aunt Zhao had both joined an organization called the 'Veil Society', and that this organization seemed to be very powerful. Even the Second Madam was only ranked eleventh in it, and Aunt Zhao was only ranked thirteenth."

"In my dream, I never heard any news about the Second Master. I strongly suspect that the Second Master met with misfortune in the future."

"Now I have fewer and fewer relatives around me. I don't want the Second Master to get into trouble again. I want to save him, but I don't know where to start. After thinking about it, I can only start investigating this 'Veil Society'."

"But I'm just a girl, I have no friends and no money, I don't even know how to start the investigation."

"So I thought of you, Brother Zhan, and wanted you to help me investigate what kind of organization this 'Veil Society' is, who is its leader, whether coming to the Jia Mansion will cause any harm to the mansion, and whether it has anything to do with the second master's future disappearance..."

"Uh..." Master Zhan felt speechless as he listened to the story of the beauty in his arms.

The reason why there was no news about Jia Zheng in his dream last night was because he had written the script on the spur of the moment and there was no role for Jia Zheng in it. How could he know what Jia Zheng would be like in the future?

Unexpectedly, his laziness at that time aroused the suspicious Lin Daiyu's suspicion. She suspected that something had happened to her second uncle and she began to investigate the "Veil Society" that suddenly emerged.

This time she asked the right person. Is there anyone in the world who knows more about the "Veil Society" than Master Zhan?
The only problem is, how should Mr. Zhan answer her question?
When he was writing the script, he wanted Lin Daiyu to reveal this precognitive dream to Lady Wang or Aunt Zhao, but who would have thought that Lin Daiyu was so dependent on him that she would come to him directly to ask!

This is really... sweet happiness!
Mr. Zhan listened patiently to Lin Daiyu's introduction of the situation, while his mind began to work rapidly, preparing to use new lies to make up for the previous loopholes.

"...I have tried to test the Second Madam before. Judging from her words and actions, she must have joined the Veil Society."

"But when she heard that Aunt Zhao would become the Thirteenth Little Member of the Veil Society in the future, she became extremely excited and ran away like a flash, trying to stop Aunt Zhao from joining."

"I think if Brother Zhan wants to investigate, he can start with the people around Aunt Zhao and bribe them to provide you with information, or... or ask Sister Tanchun for help."

Speaking of Tanchun, Lin Daiyu's face became a little shy again, and she recalled the ridiculous things in her dream last night.

However, when Mr. Zhan heard that Sister Lin had leaked the news to Mrs. Wang, and that Mrs. Wang reacted strongly, he immediately felt relieved, thinking that Sister Lin had completed the assigned task and there was no need to continue letting her serve as a tool.

Let's get rid of her now, so that she doesn't have to worry about investigating the "Veil Society".

As for Jia Zheng’s matter, that is even simpler. I can just make up a dream and let him appear through someone else’s mouth, and that’ll be it.

After Sister Lin finished speaking, Master Zhan looked at her with a wicked smile and said mysteriously:

"My dear sister, you asked the right person. You don't need to ask any more questions. I, the master, know the details of the Veil Society."

After hearing this, Lin Daiyu was overjoyed.

"Really? That's great. What exactly is this veil for?"

Master Zhan laughed strangely and said:
"I can tell you, but after you know it, you must keep it confidential. You must not leak the information to anyone, and you must not let anyone know that I know these things."

Sister Lin's face suddenly became serious. Just like Master Zhan before, she raised her hands and swore:

"Brother Zhan, rest assured. I will keep my mouth shut and will never reveal anything to outsiders. If you break this oath, I will call me..."

Master Zhan went up to her and blocked her mouth, then took a sip of her food, and then smiled at the panting Lin Daiyu:
"What a ridiculous oath you made. How can I not believe you?"

"It's just that this matter involves the privacy of the women in the backyards of some powerful people, and it's not good for men to know about it."

"This 'Veil Society' is nothing more than many noble ladies from powerful families who feel lonely in their boudoirs, so they often get together to play some tricks of pretending to be a phoenix or a false woman. Of course, occasionally some strong men will become the guests of the noble ladies."

"So, you don't have to worry that Uncle Zheng's affairs are related to the 'Veil Society'. This organization is full of noble ladies. It's okay for them to have fun together in private, but if it comes to stealing money and killing people, that's simply impossible!"

After hearing what Mr. Zhan said, Sister Lin's face suddenly turned red.

Only then did she know what the "Veil Society" was, and understood why Mrs. Wang's face looked so grim when she mentioned it to her, and why she left in such a panic afterwards.

Alas, the home of this powerful and wealthy family is really... messy!
Lin Daiyu sighed secretly in her heart and completely gave up the idea of ​​investigating the "Veil Society".
