The Heavens Begin with Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 66: If you keep silent, you are not Qingwen

As for Mr. Zhan, after sending Baoyu away, he sent a carriage to send Xue Pan and Jia Rong back, leaving only Jia Rong.

Jia Rong naturally knew the reason. After Yun'er had tidied up her room and came out, he said to Yun'er directly:

"Although you are registered under my name and are considered my concubine, the one who actually pays the money is this Master Zhan Nian Si, so you only need to listen to him from now on."

After hearing this, Yun'er bowed down to Master Zhan and said with a sweet smile:
"When the master came last year, my heart was already tied to the master, but I never thought that now I have finally become the master's person."

Mr. Zhan burst into laughter, took Yun'er in his arms and went back into the room. Jia Rong naturally felt that his mission had been accomplished and went out to have fun.

Yun'er is now Jia Rong's concubine and cannot enter Master Zhan's house. Naturally, the wedding banquet and worshiping heaven and earth are skipped, and she goes straight to the final stage of the bridal chamber.

Although Yun'er is a prostitute, she knows a lot and has a flexible body. She can do all kinds of things, allowing Master Zhan to enjoy the VIP treatment of a top courtesan.

After skipping the details, Master Zhan hugged Yun'er and slowly instructed:
"From now on, you are the concubine of Jia Rong, the eldest son of Ningguo Mansion, but in reality you are the concubine of Jia Baoyu, the youngest son of Rongguo Mansion. But in reality, you are my concubine. Only I, the master, can touch you. Other men are not allowed to do so."

Yun Er hummed in a sweet voice:

"Master is so brave, how can I be interested in other men?"

"Master, don't worry. From now on, I will wear whatever you want me to wear, and I will only show it to you at night."

After hearing this, Master Zhan laughed and scolded, "You little slut, you really know how to coax people!"

"From now on, your monthly allowance will be 10 taels. Daily necessities, maids and servants will all be delivered to you. If you need anything, just tell the person who comes."

"Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem."

When Yun'er heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up and her body slid down again.

While enjoying himself, Master Zhan ordered:
"In the future, Jia Baoyu will come occasionally. When the time comes, you can teach him to dance, focusing on the charming moves, but don't let him take advantage of you."

"You don't have to worry about offending him. Jia Baoyu has a kind personality. As long as you are pretty enough, he will be your loyal licker. Even if you scold him a few times, he will just accept it with a smile and will not get angry."

"As for other things that happened in this courtyard, don't worry about them. Just pretend you didn't see them."

Mr. Zhan certainly didn't go through so much trouble just for a courtesan like Yun'er. If he really wanted her, he would just buy her back. Who would dare to say anything?
This small courtyard was the dating place carefully prepared by Mr. Zhan for Jia Baoyu and other friends, so those annoying maids had to be excluded.

The reason why it was not placed in Ningguo Mansion was because Ning and Rong Mansions were next to each other, and it was inconvenient to drive Xiren and the others away. This courtyard was far away, so it was much more convenient.

Moreover, Jia Baoyu didn't dare let his family know that he actually had a mistress outside, so every time he came, he would find a way to get away from other people's sight and come here alone.

Now that we are here, many things become more convenient.

Sure enough, on the second day, Jia Baoyu could no longer hold back, and he left Xiren and the others on his own and came to Yun'er alone.

Now, the maids, old women and guards around Yun'er were all transferred from Ningguo Mansion. They immediately sent the news to Jia Rong, so Master Zhan brought Jia Rong and Xue Pan over.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Baoyu stretching his arms and legs and practicing dance moves. Master Zhan frowned and shouted:

"How do you practice in the yard?"

"It's so cold today. If you sweat and turn around and get hit by the cold wind, won't you catch a cold?"

"Go inside quickly!"

Yun'er hurried over to bow and apologize, and Baoyu took the responsibility as a matter of course, explaining with a smile:
"I asked Sister Yun'er to teach me, so it's not Sister Yun'er's fault."

Mr. Zhan said:

"I'll have someone break through the walls of the big room at the back and lay down floor heating. Baoyu can practice there as much as he wants without worrying about sweating."

After hearing this, Baoyu became delighted and thanked him repeatedly.

Jia Rong asked people to prepare wine and food, and they drank and chatted together.

After three rounds of drinks, Mr. Zhan started talking about dancing and asked Baoyu to show off.

Yun'er immediately started playing the piano, and Baoyu jumped a few times in the hall, and Master Zhan and others applauded and cheered.

There was a floor heating in the room, and the temperature was very high. Baoyu danced and felt even hotter, so he took off his coat.

When Mr. Zhan saw this, he said:

"Baoyu's dance looks OK, but it doesn't look good."

"Look at Yun'er's dance before. The reason why she was so charming and graceful is inseparable from her costume and makeup!"

"It's hot in the room anyway, so I think we can let Baoyu change his clothes and put on makeup, and then dance again. It will surely be ten times better than it is now."

Jia Rong and Xue Pan agreed, and Baoyu also thought it made sense, so he took advantage of the alcohol to put on his makeup, put on the dance costume prepared by Mr. Zhan, and went on stage to dance again.

Several people cheered and then took some wine to toast Baoyu.

So Baoyu drank some wine first, then danced, and after dancing, he drank some more. The atmosphere on the scene became more and more heated.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost right, Mr. Zhan took Yun'er and left the room, going to have fun next door, leaving Xue Pan and the other two to continue drinking and dancing in this room.

Not long after, Master Zhan really felt the stone in his body and absorbed a large amount of "gem energy" again.

And more energy dissipated and disappeared into the dark.

Details are not skimped upon.

At night, Master Zhan asked the maids to go in and wake up the three masters. Then he brought them the hot water, wooden barrels and other bathing supplies that had been prepared long ago. After they finished bathing, he sent them back home in carriages.

At this point, Yun'er finally understood what her master meant by what he had said that day. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly that this wealthy family was indeed dirty and messy. In comparison, even the Jinxiang Courtyard was very clean and pure.

But Baoyu returned to the Rongguo Mansion drunk. Xiren and the others had been worried about him all day, so they gathered around him to ask about his well-being and to find out why Baoyu had left them and all the servants behind and went out to play alone.

Baoyu was unwilling to talk about such a private matter and just made all kinds of excuses.

He was not good at lying and could not hide his thoughts in front of his sisters, so he was easily exposed by Xiren and others.

But now Qingwen, who dared to speak out and remonstrate, has been driven away. Even if Xiren and the others could see the problem, they would not be able to say anything unpleasant.

However, Xiren and the others also had a trump card to deal with Baoyu. Seeing that Baoyu refused to tell the truth, they all started to cry and wipe their tears.

"Second Master has finally become estranged from us. He doesn't let us know anything and just goes out by himself, leaving us in this mansion to worry and fear."

"If that's the case, then we might as well just send us away as well, so as not to bother the Second Master."

This trick really worked for Baoyu. When he saw his sisters crying, he immediately stopped caring about anything else and started bowing and kowtowing, and almost knelt down to express his true feelings.

Fortunately, he had not completely lost his mind and just used the excuses prepared by Master Zhan to deal with it.

"Well, well, well, I'll tell you guys now. You must keep it a secret and don't let anyone else know."

After hearing this, Xiren and the others immediately stopped crying. They did not swear or swear, but instead said in a petty way:
"If you don't trust us, just send us away, but don't tell us anything confidential, lest the news leak out."

Baoyu then pleaded again:
"Good sister, this is all my fault!"

"There is no secret in front of you. I just ask you to open your ears and listen."

"A few days ago, Rong Ge'er from the East Palace redeemed a prostitute in Jinxiang Courtyard. He didn't dare to bring her home, so he bought a courtyard outside to keep her. I have been there with Rong Ge'er for the past two days."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Rong'er in private, but don't let Grandma Rong know. Otherwise, the Dongfu family will be in turmoil, and that will be my fault."

After hearing this, Xiren and the others looked at each other in surprise at the result.

They could see that Baoyu was telling the truth this time, and that this matter could actually be verified.

Xiren was still worried and continued to ask:
"Only the Second Master and Rong'er?"

"Today, we have Brother Zhan and Brother Xue. Yesterday, Brother Qiang was also here."

Hearing that so many people were together, Xiren and the other two immediately felt relieved.

They never suspected that Jia Baoyu had any connection with that courtesan. Apart from anything else, it would cost a lot of money to buy a courtesan, and Mr. Bao regarded money as dirt, so he definitely could not afford it.

After putting her heart back in her stomach, Xiren said angrily:

"I thought it was such a big secret that you took it so seriously, but it turns out to be nothing but a bunch of romance."

"That prostitute is Rong'er's mistress, not yours. Why are you so nervous?"

Baoyu smiled awkwardly after hearing this, "Rong'er repeatedly told me not to tell anyone."

"When we went there to play before, no one brought maids or servants. How can I be an exception?"

Xiren then patted her chest and promised:
"Second Master, please don't worry. We sisters are not talkative people and we will definitely not tell anyone."

The clouds in the sky finally dispersed, and the four of them repeated the old scene, laughing and playing happily.

That night, it was late at night, everything was silent, the crescent moon was half hidden, and the shadows of the trees were swaying. Only the night watchman who was on patrol was wandering around the mansion helplessly in the severe cold.

But thanks to the small stove made by Master Zhan, the night watchman can carry it with him and find a sheltered place to warm himself by the fire from time to time. As long as he is careful not to cause a fire, there will be no problem.

Tonight's night watchmen were led by Lai Wang. After wandering around the mansion for a while, he began to slack off.

Everyone put down the small stove, took out sweet potatoes and corn from their pockets, and prepared to start roasting.

Just as they put this thing on the stove stand, a sudden howl was heard, which scared everyone.

"Where did the sound come from?"

Lai Wang suddenly panicked, jumped up and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

"It seems to be the courtyard of Master She."

"Then why are you still dawdling? Go and take a look!"

Lai Wang ran over there, and the people behind him quickly put away their things and chased after him.

It was the late night and the place was quiet. Any sound could be heard far away. The howling alarmed half of the Rongguo Mansion.

All of a sudden, lights were lit up one after another in the Rongguo Mansion, which was originally dark, and the masters of each room sent people out to inquire about the news.

Soon, some people got the general idea of ​​what had happened, but because of the recent cleanup operation, they didn't dare spread the news carelessly this time. They just watched and waited for the higher-ups to decide on the tone.

This matter was of great importance and involved matters too serious. After Wang Xifeng received the news, she asked Lai Wang to go out and call a doctor immediately, and at the same time had to wake up the old lady and let Lady Jia make the decision.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lai Wang received the order, gathered up the coachman and others, harnessed the carriage, and rode out at full speed to call for the doctor to come back for a good rest.

It was not until almost dawn that the matter was settled. Everyone immediately knew how to express their opinions, and various discussions began to arise.

"I knew that little bitch Qingwen was not a good person and should have been kicked out long ago. Now something bad has happened!"

"I heard before that she didn't want to go to the Zhan family to serve the new concubine. It's obvious that she wants to be a concubine herself. She doesn't even consider whether she has the fate to do so!"

"Just ask the girls who worked with her, and you will know how mean this little bitch is. She only coaxed the masters and mistresses, but they thought she was a good person. Now she has suffered a loss!"

"Just looking at her cousin and sister-in-law, I know they are not easy to deal with. They are probably the same kind of people..."

When talking about Duohunchong and his wife, the smiles on the men's faces became ambiguous.

When Baoyu woke up, he learned that Qingwen had seduced Master She and wanted to be his concubine, but when she failed to achieve her goal, she became angry and hurt Master She.

Now the mansion has invited a doctor to treat Master She, but no one knows whether he can be cured.

After hearing this, Baoyu became very anxious and didn't even have time to eat breakfast. He rushed to Master She's courtyard, wanting to see Qingwen.

Seeing Baoyu coming, Mrs. Xing frowned and said:
"If Baoyu wants to beg for mercy for your girl, then please don't open your mouth!"

"It's all because you spoiled those girls too much. They have become lawless. I'm afraid they think they are the masters!"

Baoyu hurriedly bowed to Madam Xing and apologized, "It's all my fault that Uncle She got hurt, but I don't know where he got hurt, how badly, or how serious it is."

Mrs. Xing had a gloomy face but said nothing.

Baoyu was anxious and could not help but say:
"It's all my nephew's fault. I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive Qingwen this time."

"I will punish her severely later, and I will let the master and mistress vent their anger!"

Hearing that Baoyu dared to plead for Qingwen, Mrs. Xing screamed:
"What's the point of that?"

"This little bitch dared to offend her master. I will send her to the government office and beat her to death!"

Baoyu was immediately frightened, and hurriedly bowed and begged:
"Not really, not really. Now that the doctor is here, uncle's injury must be fine. At worst, we can ask the imperial physician to come over. He will definitely be able to cure uncle's injury."

"Qingwen made a mistake, so she should be severely punished. However, however..." Baoyu paused and brought up the old ancestor, Grandmother Jia, again, "...Qingwen is a person in the old ancestor's room, so how to punish her is up to the old ancestor to decide."

In his opinion, his ancestors had always been kind and treated servants very well. Even if they made mistakes, they would not be severely punished, let alone sent to the government office and beaten to death.

But he didn't know that Jia She was injured in his lower body.

Originally, Jia She asked Mrs. Xing to ask Lady Jia for Qingwen, which was just a test. What he really wanted was Yuanyang, Lady Jia's personal maid.

Because Yuanyang was the one who controlled the old lady's personal money, and there were a lot of valuables in the mansion, it was impossible for Grandmother Jia to have control of them all. Even if Yuanyang secretly switched or erased a few insignificant valuables, I'm afraid Grandmother Jia wouldn't be able to find out.

If Jia She could get Yuanyang, it would basically be equivalent to taking over a small part of Jia Mu's small treasury.

But he also knew how much Grandmother Jia valued Yuanyang, so he did not ask for Yuanyang directly, but asked Mrs. Xing to try to ask for Qingwen first. This was originally a test. If Grandmother Jia was determined not to give her, then it would be even more impossible for him to get Yuanyang.

But this time he borrowed the name of Master Zhan, and the reason he found was very reasonable. In addition, Jia's mother was also somewhat dissatisfied with Qingwen, so she gave her to him. Jia She misjudged the situation, thinking that no matter how important the maid was, she could not compare with his own son, so he became more and more bold.

He thought, it was just a maid being sent over, and Master Zhan didn't need a girl, so he wouldn't attach much importance to her, and it would certainly not bring much benefit, so he thought, he might as well take the first step first and then send the person over.

For a maid, who would care whether it was the first time?

Most likely, Mr. Zhan won’t ask about it.

With this thought in mind, he drank a few glasses of wine tonight and took advantage of his drunkenness to harass Qingwen.

Although Qingwen was mean, that was only towards other servants. She was always respectful to all the masters except Baoyu and never dared to be harsh with her words.

When Jia She came to harass her, she didn't have the courage to hit Jia She, so she just dodged him in various ways. However, Jia She wanted to use force, and during the struggle, she somehow managed to kneel Jia She in the crotch.

Only a few people know this process, but most people can actually guess it.

What kind of person is Master She? Is there anyone in the mansion who doesn't know?

But because the palace had made an example of someone before, everyone is now much more cautious about gossip, and has learned to look at the wind above to determine the direction of the gossip.

Last night, Grandmother Jia had already set the tone that Qingwen seduced Master She, so the self-media in the mansion all came out to cheer.

Jia Baoyu didn't know that his grandmother had already made a judgment on the matter, and he was still thinking about relying on the power of his ancestor to save Qingwen.

Mrs. Xing knew all this, so she pushed the blame onto Grandmother Jia and said:

"In that case, you can go and ask the old lady. I have no objection to what she says."

Baoyu was delighted when he heard this, and asked again:
"Please be merciful, Madam, and let my nephew meet Qingwen."

Mrs. Xing knew the whole story and knew that she was somewhat in the wrong in this matter and that it could not be made public, so she would never let him see Qingwen and just pushed all the blame onto Grandmother Jia.

"She has been detained now. No one is allowed to visit her without the old lady's order."

Baoyu then hurriedly ran to Lady Jia's side, wanting to ask for orders.

"no!"

Grandmother Jia slammed her cane heavily on the ground, furious.

"You better stay away from this kind of evil-hearted person, or he will definitely hurt you in the future!"

Baoyu begged:

"Madam, I have always known Qingwen's character. She may be a little blunt, but she is kind and considerate. She would never hurt the master intentionally. It is most likely an accidental injury!"

"Please be merciful, old lady, and let me ask for a clear answer, so as not to wrongly accuse a good person."

After hearing this, Grandmother Jia became even angrier, thinking that her precious grandson had been bewitched by this vixen. In this situation, he did not consider his uncle but spoke for a maid instead.

Of course, she also knew the cause and effect of the matter, but in her opinion, the master is the master and the servant is the servant, just as if the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die. Once the master makes a decision, the servant has to obey, otherwise it would be disloyal.

If the master wants to beat, scold or bully the servants, the servants can come to her to complain, and she will naturally uphold justice for the servants, but they cannot resist on their own, otherwise they would be ungrateful to their master.

And now Qingwen is a complete slave who betrays her master.

"It doesn't matter what the truth is. What matters is that your uncle is injured now. It was definitely Qingwen who hurt him."

"We are a kind family in the Jia Mansion. We cannot allow such a traitorous slave to stay."

"Send her to the government office and punish her according to the law."

Baoyu hurried forward to protect the old ancestor, begging him in a coquettish manner.

"My dear, the government office is a place where people go in vertically and come out horizontally. Is it a place where good people should go?"

"I have always known that the old ancestor has a kind heart. I hope the old ancestor will forgive her and let Qingwen go."

This matter was originally a family scandal, which should not be made public. Grandmother Jia had no intention of alerting the government. She said this because she knew that Baoyu would definitely come to make trouble, so she deliberately said it in advance so that he would come and pay it back.

After Baoyu begged her for a long time, Jia's mother finally relaxed and said:

"The death penalty can be avoided, but the crime of living cannot be forgiven. She hurt your uncle, so she must not stay in the mansion any longer. I will send her out and never hire her again."

"But there is one case. If she leaves the mansion with hatred in her heart, and spreads rumors and slanders the master of the mansion, what will happen then?"

Baoyu hastily vouched for Qingwen and said:

"Don't worry, Grandfather. Qingwen made the mistake first. Thanks to your generosity, she was able to save her life. I am grateful to you now. How could I speak nonsense?"

Grandmother Jia said:

"Then go and explain to her and make her admit all her sins last night, and I will let her leave the house."

Baoyu knew that this was the best outcome, so he could only sigh and go to see Qingwen again.

Qingwen was locked in the woodshed at this moment. Although she was not tied up, her hair was disheveled and her face was dirty. She had not eaten or drunk anything for a while, so she looked extremely haggard. Baoyu felt so heartbroken when he saw her that he hurried over to hold her hand and shed tears.

"How could it be so!"

"If I had known that so many things would happen, I should have begged my wife not to let you go."

When Qingwen saw Baoyu coming, she forced a smile and said:
"You know this won't work, but you still want to talk about it. Do you want me to be grateful to you?"

Baoyu smiled bitterly and said:

"Sister, many things have been ruined by your mouth. I'm afraid that what happened last night was no exception!"

After hearing this, Qingwen frowned and asked:
"What do people say about me now?"

Baoyu told the truth. After hearing it, Qingwen was furious and said with gnashing teeth:

"As expected, when a wall falls, everyone pushes it. It was clearly Master She who wanted to use force on me, and I accidentally hurt him. How come these gossiping women think that I am to blame?"

After Baoyu heard this, he hurriedly asked about the matter, and Qingwen told him the truth. Baoyu was overjoyed after hearing this, and turned to leave, saying:

"I said you wouldn't hurt anyone for no reason. It's your uncle who is at fault. I will go and find the old ancestor to settle the matter."

Qingwen pulled him back and sneered:
"Do you think the old lady doesn't know about this?"

After hearing this, Baoyu suddenly came to his senses. He was shocked and said in a trembling voice:
"Since you know this, why do you still..."

"Haha..." Qingwen immediately sneered. She knew that she was going to be in trouble this time, so she no longer cared much and directed her words directly at the old lady, "On one side is my own son, and on the other side is a mere servant. If it were you, which side would you stand on?"

Baoyu then took Qingwen's hand and said firmly:

"Of course I will stand on your side."

Qingwen was touched, but she rolled her eyes and sneered:
"You are just a young master, and your words are useless. What's the point of standing on my side?"

Baoyu blushed and said in a protest:
"Why am I useless?"

"Originally, the old ancestor wanted to send you to the government office for punishment. Fortunately, I spoke well of you and the old ancestor agreed. As long as you admit your crime last night, you will be released from the house and will not be sent to the government office."

After Qingwen heard this, she was immediately furious and jumped up and down, shouting:
"What do you mean by admitting all the sins of last night? It's obvious that Master She forced himself on me. It sounds like you want me to take the blame for a crime I didn't commit and expose Master She!"

Seeing that she was angry, Baoyu hastened to comfort her:
"What the ancestor meant was that you should admit that it was you who beat Master She, not that you should bear those irrelevant charges."

Qingwen was not as naive as Baoyu. After hearing what he said, she smiled coldly and said with her neck stiff:
"I was the one who beat Master She. I admit it, but I didn't mean to hurt anyone. Master She used force on me, and I accidentally hurt him when I resisted."

"This point must be made clear, otherwise I would rather be sent to the government office and beaten to death than admit it!"

"Even if I was expelled from the government, I would still say the same thing if anyone asked me about it!"

When Baoyu heard what she said, he turned around in a panic and begged:
"My dear sister!"

"Can't you control your mouth and say less? It won't kill anyone!"

"You don't need to confess. As long as you don't spread rumors outside, I will go and plead for you with the ancestors."

Qingwen sneered:

"I can't be so submissive. If I keep silent, I won't be Qingwen anymore!"

Baoyu tried to persuade her for a long time, but Qingwen would rather die than bear the irrelevant and unjust reputation.

Baoyu had no choice but to go back and ask his ancestor for help.

After hearing Baoyu's report, Jia's mother became even angrier and slammed the table and cursed:
"She is indeed a treacherous bitch!"

"Listen to what she said!"

"She has been raised so much in the mansion, but she is unwilling to share even such a small matter with her master, and she has to distinguish so carefully."

"She is just a maid. Even if I pointed her out to the master, it would only take a word. How dare she resist and hurt the master?"

"Which maid in the mansion is like her? She has no sense of superiority or inferiority and has no idea of ​​the difference between superiors and subordinates!"

"It's all because of you, Baoyu, who doted on her and loved her, that you spoiled her into this state!"

"Since this slut is so shameless, it's no wonder that our Jia family is so cruel. We will just have her beaten to death and thrown out."

"Even if Shuntian Prefecture asks about this kind of traitorous servant, we are still right."

It was the first time that Baoyu saw his ancestor so angry, and he was frightened.

He hurriedly went up to her and tried to act coquettishly and pester her again, but this time Grandmother Jia was determined that Qingwen was a nuisance and refused to let her go no matter what.

Finally, Baoyu had no choice but to use his natural skills again. He took out the jade and pretended to throw it. Only then did he calm down Lady Jia and she had no choice but to compromise.

"Forget it, forget it. It's not impossible to spare this little bitch's life, but the death penalty can be avoided, but the crime of living cannot be forgiven, and she must be severely punished."

Baoyu immediately burst into laughter, hugged the old man's arm and shook him, and said flatteringly:
"I knew that the old man was kind-hearted and would never really take someone's life."

Grandmother Jia pinched Baoyu's cheek helplessly and said lovingly:

"You are too kind-hearted, kid. You will suffer a great loss sooner or later!"

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand and called over Lai Dajia, and said with a gloomy face:

"Qingwen was originally sent by your family, and now I am returning her to you."

"You have to discipline me well this time, and don't let me hear any rumors coming out of that little bitch's mouth!"

Lai Dajie rolled his eyes and understood what Grandmother Jia meant. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed, patting his chest and promising:
"Don't worry, old lady. If any sound gets out of that little bitch's mouth, it will be because I failed to do my job well. I will poison my own throat and make it mute."

After she finished speaking, she looked up at Lady Jia, and sure enough, she saw her mother nodding with satisfaction. Then she stood up, respectfully walked out of the room, and went straight to the front yard.

The doctor who treated Master She had not left yet, so Lai Da paid some more silver and asked the doctor to prepare a mute medicine for him. Then he prepared it himself, called two strong maids, and ran to the woodshed with the medicine bowls in hand.

Although Qingwen spoke toughly, she was just an ignorant little girl. After sending Baoyu away, she felt very sad and frightened. She was crying in the woodshed when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps. She hurriedly wiped her tears with her sleeves and pretended nothing had happened.

Qingwen was originally from the Lai family. Later, because of her outstanding appearance and intelligence, she was sent to the Rongguo Mansion. Therefore, everyone in the Lai family respected her more.

Seeing Lai Dajia coming in, Qingwen hurriedly stood up to greet him, but unexpectedly Lai Dajia had a cold face. Without saying a word, he just waved his hand, and the two strong women rushed forward like wolves and tigers, held Qingwen's arms and fixed her up.

Lai Dajie pinched Qingwen's cheek with one hand, held the medicine bowl with the other hand, and poured the black mute medicine into her mouth.

Qingwen couldn't struggle and had to drink the mute potion mouthful by mouthful.

After the medicine was poured in, Lai Dajie reached out and massaged Qingwen's chest a few times to help the medicine go down smoothly and prevent vomiting.

After a while, when she saw Qingwen's breathing stabilize, she signaled to let her go, put on a compassionate look on her face, and sighed:

"Alas, I have no choice. This is the only way to save your life."

"If you want to blame someone, then blame yourself for not knowing your identity and not knowing how to behave. You are clearly destined to be a maid, but you are unwilling to do so and always act like a rich lady."

"You have offended almost everyone in this mansion. Now that you have committed a crime, everyone applauds and no one is willing to speak up for you."

"What happened today was purely your own fault."

"Since Master She wants it, what's wrong with you giving it to him?"

"You are just a maid, what qualifications do you have to refuse?"

"To survive in this powerful family, you either need a powerful master to protect you, or you need to know your place and be humble."

"Before you were in Jiang Yunxuan, you still had Master Bao to protect you, but when Master Bao could no longer protect you, your fate was already determined."

After listening to Lai Dajie's scolding, Qingwen was dissatisfied and opened her mouth to refute, but after her cherry-like mouth opened, she made a lot of noises for a long time but could not utter a word.

Only then did she realize what the bowl of medicine she had just drunk was used for. Her head immediately made a buzzing sound and she was completely stunned. Then tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Humph, what's the point of crying now?"

"What have you been doing so far?"

Lai Dajie waved his hands impatiently, and the two strong women lifted Qingwen's arms again, dragged her out amid her crying, and went through all the doors and pulled her out of the gate, and then threw her out and that was it.
