This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 256 Senior Sister and Sister-in-law
The carriage stopped.

Luo Zijun quickly got off the carriage and asked, "Senior Sister, where are you going?"

He had already spotted the Jia family's carriage.

Meanwhile, Qingwen carried her medicine box and followed behind her senior sister.

Jia Yingchun's eyes were red.

Could it be that someone in the Jia family is sick? But even if someone is sick, shouldn't it be Master who goes to see them?

My senior sister has never gone out to treat patients.

Jia Yingchun cried, "Young Master Luo, Sister Daiyu...she looks like she's dying..."

Luo Zijun was taken aback: "Why isn't it working?"

Jia Yingchun wiped away her tears and said, "These past two days, she's been lying in bed coughing up blood and can't get out of bed anymore. Yesterday we called a doctor to take a look, and the doctor said... said... sob sob sob..."

Luo Zijun's expression changed several times before she looked at her senior sister.

Liu Chujian said from the side, "Brother Zijun, Yingchun just came to see me, wanting your help. I heard about Daiyu's illness, so I took the liberty of bringing Yingchun to see Sister Su..."

Luo Zijun asked in confusion, "Senior Sister, are you going to help Miss Lin with her illness?"

Su Dafang's voice suddenly rang out at the shop entrance: "Kid, don't underestimate your senior sister. When it comes to treating women, she's better than your master."

Luo Zijun asked in surprise, "Really?"

Su Dafang said irritably, "You dare to doubt your senior sister?"

"not me……"

Before Luo Zijun could speak, Su Qingling had already walked past him, boarded the carriage, and entered the carriage.

Jia Yingchun quickly followed.

Qingwen, carrying her medicine box, greeted him and got into the carriage.

Liu Chujian said in a low voice, "Brother Zijun, I'm going back to the bookstore first. Sister Su just volunteered to go."

After saying that, she left with Bi'er.

As Luo Zijun was in a daze, Bai Qingtong's clear voice came from the carriage behind: "Brother-in-law, come on up quickly."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the curtain of the carriage in front suddenly opened.

Su Qingling got out of the carriage, glanced behind her, and suddenly got off the carriage and walked towards the carriage behind.

Luo Zijun was taken aback and quickly went over to ask, "Senior Sister, what are you doing?"

Su Qingling did not answer, but instead got into the carriage and went inside.

Luo Zijun's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly followed him inside.

Inside the carriage, Su Qingling, dressed in a plain white dress, sat quietly opposite Miss Bai, her cold eyes fixed on her.

Miss Bai was clearly a little confused. She took the initiative to greet him, but he ignored her, so she looked a little embarrassed.

Luo Zijun entered the carriage and asked with a puzzled look, "Senior sister, what are you doing sitting here?"

Su Qingling stared at Bai Qingtong for a while, then looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Can't I sit down?"

Luo Zijun said, "Yes, but... you don't know each other..."

Bai Qingtong quickly introduced herself: "Hello, sister. My name is Bai Qingtong. I am Luo Zijun's sister-in-law."

Luo Zijun: "..."

Su Qingling looked at her, but still didn't say anything.

Luo Zijun had no choice but to help introduce her: "Third Miss, this is Su Qingling, my senior sister."

Su Qingling's gaze fell upon him.

Luo Zijun quickly added, "I've known her since we were little, we're childhood sweethearts...friends."

Su Qingling narrowed her eyes.

Luo Zijun had no choice but to add, "Not just friends, but family."

Su Qingling continued to look at him.

Luo Zijun had no choice but to say again, "Family, the closest family."

At this moment, Su Qingling withdrew her gaze and continued to look at the opposite side.

Bai Qingtong was stunned for a moment, her gaze shifting back and forth between the two of them. After a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Brother-in-law, why didn't you invite Sister Su to your wedding with my sister?"

That girl, she really knows how to bring up the most sensitive topics!
Or is it a deliberate assertion of sovereignty?
Luo Zijun silently complained to herself, saying, "Senior Sister was minding the shop at the time and didn't have time to go."

Before she could finish speaking, Su Qingling said, "You didn't invite me."

Luo Zijun's lips twitched, and she said, "How could I not invite you? I even told you back then that I asked you to give me a red envelope."

Su Qingling looked at him coldly and said, "You didn't give me an invitation, but everyone else did, including Chujian. You just don't want me to go."

Luo Zijun: "..."

"Um... Senior Sister, Miss Lin's illness is a bit complicated. Are you really capable of curing it?"

At this point, it's best to quickly change the subject.

Otherwise, this girl might get angry while talking and start pinching him. Being pinched on the butt or chest in front of his own sister-in-law is really...

Su Qingling's pretty face was cold, and she ignored him.

Bai Qingtong glanced at the two of them again, her gaze lingering on the stunningly beautiful, ethereal face before her for a long while. Suddenly, she asked, "Sister Su, are you from the Kingdom of Women?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Zijun was immediately taken aback.

Su Qingling looked at her but did not answer.

Luo Zijun quickly asked, "Why do you say that?"

Bai Qingtong explained, "I've met several women from the Women's Kingdom before. They all have a strange floral fragrance, and their skin is very fair. Their temperament is also somewhat different from ours. Sister Su is so beautiful; she doesn't seem like someone from our Great Yan." Luo Zijun's gaze also turned to her senior sister.

Although this girl was his neighbor when they were young, according to her older sister, she and her master moved in suddenly and then moved away just as suddenly.

If you're from Daliang and want to move away from here, it's not easy; you'll need all sorts of paperwork.

Where did they go during the years that the grandfather and grandson were away?

He had asked his master these questions before, but his master had only given him a perfunctory answer, saying that he was wandering around making money.

"Senior sister, where are you and Master from?"

He couldn't help but ask.

Su Qingling remained indifferent and ignored him.

Bai Qingtong didn't dare to say anything more, but stared at her beautiful face with envy and said, "Sister Su looks even more beautiful than a celestial being."

Luo Zijun pouted.

To everyone's surprise, this tiny movement was noticed by the maid beside her. Su Qingling turned to look at him and said coldly, "What, do you have a problem with that?"

"No, how could I dare to have any objections!"

Luo Zijun quickly replied, "Third Miss is absolutely right. Senior Sister is indeed more beautiful than a celestial being."

At this moment, Bai Qingtong suddenly asked with a half-smile, "Brother-in-law, between my sister and Sister Su, who is the most beautiful?"

"Forehead……"

The carriage suddenly became quiet.

Luo Zijun chose to offend no one: "They are all beautiful in their own way."

Bai Qingtong pressed on, "Then in your brother-in-law's heart, who is the most beautiful?"

This girl!
Luo Zijun said directly, "You, you are the most beautiful. Whoever asks me is the most beautiful."

"Pfft..."

Bai Qingtong covered her mouth and laughed.

Two carriages, one after the other, quickly turned into the alley and stopped in front of the Rongguo Mansion.

Just then, a cacophony of crying and pleas came from outside.

Luo Zijun lifted the curtains and looked outside.

At the main gate of Rongguo Mansion, a large number of young maids and old nannies were kneeling, with packages scattered all over the ground. They were all crying and begging, not wanting to leave.

Today, the Jia family has begun to forcibly expel those servants who are unwilling to leave.

Jia Yingchun, accompanied by her maid, alighted from the carriage in front and hurried over, saying urgently, "Sister Su..."

Qingwen, carrying her medicine box, stood to one side, her gaze fixed on the familiar figures kneeling on the ground at the gate, her expression quite complex.

She was forcibly driven out by Madam Wang's men and almost died in the alley. Fortunately, Young Master Luo appeared and took her back.

Looking at these familiar figures now, and thinking back to the carefree life she once had in the mansion, she was filled with mixed emotions as she faced a life-or-death situation.

As a maid in the Jia family, she was naturally well aware of the miserable fate of the servants who were driven out of the mansion.

They have no skills, and some have even lost their homes. If no one takes them in, they will face hunger, cold, and despair.

Su Qingling got off the carriage.

Luo Zijun did not get off the train; she remained seated in the carriage, watching the human tragedy unfold before her through the window.

Bai Qingtong hesitated for a moment, then followed.

Knowing her worries, Jia Yingchun quickly took her hand and said, "Qingtong, it's alright, let's go see Daiyu together."

Bai Qingtong turned her head and glanced at the window.

Luo Zijun said, "You can decide for yourself who you want to take in. The Grand View Garden is right next door, so living there is the same as living in the Jia family mansion. However, everyone who moves in will have to do something. Besides tidying up the garden, they may need to do other things in the future. Also, everyone who moves in must obey me unconditionally."

As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant from his sleeve, handed it over, and said, "There are guards there, and there's a seal. Take this jade pendant, and they will tear off the seal and leave."

Bai Qingtong took the jade token and asked in a low voice, "Does it really only accept women?"

Luo Zijun replied, "Yes."

Bai Qingtong gave him a meaningful look, said "Oh," and left with the jade token.

Su Qingling, accompanied by Qingwen, followed behind Jia Yingchun and headed towards the gate.

The maids and nannies kneeling at the door rushed over to her, crying and pleading, "Second Miss! Second Miss! Please, we beg you, we don't want to leave! We don't want our monthly wages, just give us a meal..."

Jia Yingchun was immediately at a loss.

The remaining guards and nannies in the mansion quickly went over to drive them away, clearing a path for them and escorting them up the steps.

Bai Qingtong stood on the steps, turned her head to look at the people kneeling below, selected a few in her mind, and then followed Jia Yingchun into the mansion.

At this moment, in Lin Daiyu's room, Jia Tanchun and several maids, including Zijuan, all had red, swollen eyes from crying.

The floor beside the bed was covered in blood.

There were also some bloodstains on the pillow.

Lin Daiyu's face was as pale as paper, her breath was faint, and she could barely speak.

Apart from Tan Chun, Xi Chun, and their maids, no one else from the Jia family was present.

Grandmother Jia's head maid, Yuanyang, also came to visit once, and then left with a sigh.

Wang Xifeng had already instructed people to secretly begin preparing a coffin, clothes, and other necessities for her.

Lin Daiyu's three maids almost fainted from crying.
