Red Mansion: Picking up a Lin Daiyu

Chapter 451 Lin Daiyu's Reward
The ground was in a mess, flames were shooting up into the sky, and the Rongguo Mansion was in chaos and no one could live in peace.

The Jia family members were shackled and fettered side by side, and walked out of the mansion with a staggering gait.

The servants in the Rongguo Mansion were not spared either. They were tied together with a rope and followed at the end of the team. The sounds of crying and wailing could be heard everywhere.

"Grandfather, Grandfather, how are you?"

Yuanyang chased after her desperately, but she could only see Jia Mu's face as pale as paper and got no response.

All her calls are like this.

Xiren was also beside her, chasing after Baoyu and asking, "Master, Master, how are you? Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Don't scare us."

Xiren did not see the story in front of the palace. She was awakened from her sleep by the soldiers and then arrested. She was extremely terrified.

Seeing so many members of the Jia family being arrested together, he was even more frightened. When he saw Baoyu was among them, he did not care about anything else and came forward to show concern.

But the shock Baoyu experienced was no less than that experienced by Jia Mu. His old beliefs were almost shattered, his eyes and mouth were crooked, and he was almost insane.

Seeing the mansion in such a dilapidated state, Xiren could no longer hold back her tears and hugged Baoyu and sobbed.

But not long after, they were separated by the officers and soldiers and went out.

"There are a total of 123 pieces of pure gold jewelry at Rongqing Hall, including all the jewels."

"Eight sets of palace dresses for the Buddhist temple, a fat jade belt, and twelve rolls of yellow satin."

"Five thousand two hundred taels of tide silver, fifty taels of pure gold, and seven thousand strings of cash for the side room of the Buddhist hall..."

At the main gate of the Rongguo Mansion, soldiers coming and going read out the confiscated property of the Jia family. It can be said that they had reaped a great harvest.

Wang Ziteng's face remained gloomy the entire time, and he did not dare to look at Mrs. Wang's face who had already woken up. He just looked up at the sky, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Today's move on the Jia family was not a sudden decision of His Majesty. Next, a wave of investigation will sweep across the entire capital.

He himself accidentally walked into the center of the vortex.

As a descendant of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, he knows best what shameful deeds these people are doing in private. His Majesty probably had this in mind when appointing him to do the job.

Now that things have come to this, Wang Ziteng has no way back and can only sharpen himself into a fast and sharp knife in order to survive longer.

Without hesitation, Wang Ziteng said in a deep voice: "Collect all of them and send them to the Dali Temple for investigation!"

There was a carriage parked outside the mansion.

The master and the servant on the carriage were paying attention to the movements in the Jia Mansion, and they felt a little panicked.

"Miss, the Jia family has ended up in this situation. I'm afraid all the money we spent before has gone down the drain. Now, it's a good thing that we are not involved in the Rongguo Mansion's usurpation of power in the other courtyard."

Seeing that the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, Xia Jingui took the opportunity to escape. She stared at everything in front of the door with wide eyes, feeling very angry in her heart.

"What can we do? Didn't you see that Duke Dingguo has intervened? He will definitely accuse Rongguo Mansion of a crime and make it impossible for them to turn over. As for us, we are just involved in the construction of Rongguo Mansion. At most, we have some interests. After all, the Second Madam even wrote me an IOU as evidence."

Baochan continued, "But the Second Wife has also written a marriage certificate for the girl, this..."

Xia Jingui said anxiously: "Why don't you find it out earlier and burn the marriage certificate?"

"Yes Yes……"

Just as Baochan stood up, Xia Jingui stopped her again, thinking, "Don't worry, don't worry. We still don't know what crime the Jia family has committed, whether it is enough to confiscate their property and exterminate their clan. If his Jia family is confiscated and exterminated, then it will be a good deal for him. If not, whether it is the marriage certificate or the IOU, he must pay double for it."

"Otherwise, wouldn't I lose everything I have invested?"

Seeing the soldiers coming and going outside, Baochan was so scared that her voice trembled, "Miss, isn't this too risky?"

Xia Jingui ignored all the advice and made up her mind, saying, "Is there any business without risk?"

……

"Of course you have to be bad when dealing with bad guys? Isn't that the way it should be?"

Yue Ling blinked and tilted his head towards Lin Daiyu in his arms.

What he said really made sense, and Lin Daiyu had no way to refute it. It would be better to say that Lin Daiyu even liked this naughty feeling. Even when he behaved naughty towards her, Lin Daiyu was not annoyed, but enjoyed it instead.

Lin Daiyu pouted and had nothing to say, so she leaned on Yue Ling again, hooked her hair with her fingers and started playing with it.

Looking back on the story along the way, it was the old lady of the Jia family who brought more trouble upon herself. Yue Ling had never done anything against his true conscience, which made Lin Daiyu admire him very much.

What made her a little unwilling was that after she had pondered over and connected clues from all sides and discovered loopholes, she was close to finding the key evidence, but Yue Ling still came out to rescue her, and the matter did not come to a perfect end.

If they could accomplish something just by working together, perhaps Yue Ling would look at them with new eyes and no longer treat them like children.

Therefore, Lin Daiyu secretly made up her mind that after returning home, she would review the matter with her sisters and decide how to cooperate with each other in the future to do more secure things.

"girl."

Suddenly, there was a call from outside.

Lin Daiyu turned sideways, lifted a corner of the sedan chair curtain, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zijuan passed on the message, "Miss, Miss Yun wants to go back to the mansion to take a look, so she won't go back with us first."

Lin Daiyu looked at Yue Ling, and Yue Ling whispered, "After seeing the scene at Rongguo Mansion, she must have been moved and wanted to go back to Shi Mansion to take a look. Let her go."

Lin Daiyu nodded and thought the same thing. "Well, I understand. Sister Zijuan, please go with her. If anything happens, you can come back and report it."

Zijuan nodded in agreement and then retreated.

Lin Daiyu wondered, "Could it be that the Rongguo Mansion's affairs would involve so many people that even the Shi family, who had dealings with the Jia family, would be implicated?"

"Yes and no, but after all, Mrs. Jia's surname is Shi, so the Shi family is also bound to be investigated. And among the four kings, eight dukes, and twelve marquises, there are many noble families like the Jia family, who are gilded on the outside but rotten on the inside. I'm afraid they will be uprooted along with this storm."

Lin Daiyu's eyes rolled around, and she asked, "Won't Brother Yue be very busy in the future?"

Yue Ling nodded as if it was natural, "That's what it will be like."

Lin Daiyu took Yue Ling's arm and moved closer to him. "Well, I'm going to rest at Brother Yue's place tonight."

Yue Ling rubbed Lin Daiyu's head and asked with a smile: "It's up to you, but what day have you not come?"

Lin Daiyu raised her hand to block Yue Ling's mouth, "Even if you go every day, you have to go the next day, what's wrong with that? Could it be that Brother Yue wants someone else to accompany him?"

Yue Ling scratched his nose and turned his head away in embarrassment. Lin Daiyu in front of him was indeed a beauty that could make fishes sink to the bottom of their chests and geese fall to the ground, and the moon hide in shame on flowers, especially the refreshing fragrance on her body, which Yue Ling could not resist no matter how long he smelled it.

This was actually calling upon Yue Ling's body's instincts.

But Lin Daiyu was too young, and both of them were unknown, so they could only watch but not eat. I'm afraid no one would be able to resist the itchy feeling. But Lin Daiyu still loved to pester him and even made some provocative moves.

Yue Ling always thought that this little girl did this on purpose to embarrass him.

However, Yue Ling has been reserved for a long time, and it may be difficult to find someone as determined as him.

"Then it depends on Sister Lin. I don't mind if there's one more or one less. My bed is big enough."

Lin Daiyu pinched her waist and was about to lose her temper, but then she held back, knowing that Yue Ling was deliberately teasing her.

"Look for her if you want. Anyway, it's said in the capital that Brother Yue is a lecher. What's wrong with him liking the bodies of the girls in the room? But tonight, I won't let Brother Yue succeed!"

……

After a whole day of ups and downs, Lin Daiyu's mind was still a little excited and she couldn't fall asleep quickly.

After entering Yue Ling's room, Lin Daiyu sat quietly on the edge of the bed, watching Yue Ling take off his clothes and wipe himself, then shyly turned her head away, not wanting to look at his exposed arms.

Although Lin Daiyu had seen it many times, she still felt a thrill in her heart every time she saw it.

This made her, who was already very active, even more unable to calm down, and her mind gradually began to wander.

"These girls in the room are usually very good. They can get their jobs done outside without falling behind. But when they come back to the mansion, their eyes can't be moved away from Brother Yue. They are reluctant to leave even after seeing Brother Yue close the door. Is that kind of thing really so pleasurable and addictive?"

After swallowing, Lin Daiyu raised her head unconsciously and looked at Yue Ling's arms. The strong muscles that Lin Daiyu had touched secretly before were like warm stone.

Lin Daiyu didn't like stones, nor did she like eating meat like Xueyan, but Yue Ling's body attracted her eyes so much that she couldn't move her eyes away.

Even when Yue Ling walked up to her, she hadn't recovered from her shock.

Waving his hand in front of Lin Daiyu, Yue Ling smiled and said, "Sister Lin, what are you thinking about? Are you thinking so deeply?"

Lin Daiyu suddenly raised her head, looked at Yue Ling, then shrank her head and denied it again and again, "No, I didn't think about anything. It's already the middle of the night, we have to go to bed."

Lin Daiyu had just put her legs together and was about to retreat to the bed and protect herself with the quilt, but she felt Yue Ling's chest pressing against her, pressing her whole body under him, making her unable to move.

"What...what are you going to do?"

Lin Daiyu felt a little flustered. The atmosphere today was different from usual. It seemed that Yue Ling was quite interested. Even his breathing was rapid, and his breath on her neck was hot and itchy.

"Sister Lin, guess what I'm thinking about?"

Lin Daiyu was pressed down on the bed by Yue Ling, like a lamb to be slaughtered. She could not escape from his grasp at all. And being teased by him like that, how could she not know what Yue Ling was thinking?

Lin Daiyu was at a loss of her composure and stammered, "I can't guess what Brother Yue is thinking, and I don't want to guess!"

"Then since I saved the situation, Sister Lin should give me some reward, right?"

Lin Daiyu secretly glanced at Yue Ling's body, and as if her eyes were burned, she quickly retracted her gaze, "Rewards are fine, but don't do anything excessive!"

Yue Ling chuckled, slowly raised one leg and knelt on the bed, fitting more closely against Lin Daiyu's body.

"But I can no longer control my body. How can I rest when I sleep in the same bed with Sister Lin?"

Feeling Yue Ling's body getting hotter and hotter, Lin Daiyu's face flushed with embarrassment and she begged for mercy again and again, "Well, then, I'll go call Sister Ke'er and the others over and let them accompany you to rest."

Yue Ling refuted her with Lin Daiyu's words, "No, it can only be Sister Lin today, no one else is allowed to come."

Unexpectedly, in the end she was trapped in her own web. Lin Daiyu had no choice but to turn her body with great effort and lie down.

She looked at Yue Ling for a moment, then closed her eyes, groped her hands to touch Yue Ling's neck, rubbed Yue Ling's cheek lightly with her thumb, and then pressed her lips against the position she touched.

"Well……"

They kissed like this for a quarter of an hour. Lin Daiyu's originally steady breathing became rapid, and in the end she was even a little breathless, so the two separated.

Lin Daiyu raised her hand and bashfully wiped the corner of her mouth, then turned her head to the side and asked in a low voice, "This time... are you feeling better?"

Lin Daiyu had already done the most she thought she could do, hoping that Yue Ling would forgive her, but she didn't expect Yue Ling to reply, "It's even worse."

"What? Why is that?"

Lin Daiyu was so ashamed and angry that she struggled to her feet. "Brother Yue, you are so mean. You have made up your mind to do something bad today. We haven't even gotten married yet, so are you going to treat me like a maid?"

The more Lin Daiyu spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Yue Ling knew that they had gone too far and tried to comfort her, "No, no, Sister Lin misunderstood. What I said was not what you thought."

"what?"

Lin Daiyu turned back in surprise, "What do you mean?"

Yue Ling touched Lin Daiyu's hand and guided her, "Those things can't be solved by doing it to the end. There are other ways, like this..."

Lin Daiyu retracted her hand as if she had touched a fire starter.

Meeting Yue Ling's fiery gaze, she couldn't refuse anymore, so she had to obey his arrangement and gently caressed it again.

"Is that right?"

This raw and cold touch really made Yue Ling's back tense, "Take it slow, be gentle..."

Lin Daiyu pouted and said, "What a pervert, what a pervert, coming up with all these dirty things to humiliate others, bah bah bah!"

"Um……"

"Brother Yue must have made up his mind when he walked in. No, he had already set me up when he was in the carriage. He is really evil."

"Um……"

"I wasn't thinking about that just now! What do you mean it's not what I thought? I didn't think about anything!"

"Um……"

Although she was unforgiving with her words, her hands kept moving and she was very attentive to Yue Ling's feelings. This kind of honest Lin Daiyu was so cute...
