Dream of the Red Chamber: I can see the hidden labels of the beauties.

Lin Daiyu felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing this, and the image of Jia Can's calm and composed figure, as well as the gentle smile on his handsome face, involuntarily surfaced in her mind. She felt both comforted and quite moved.

Her fair face had a rosier glow, and all the emotions that had been building up inside her seemed to have been released. Her energy and spirit had improved considerably, but the physical discomfort remained.

After Jia Xichun finished speaking, she called out to the outside, and a maidservant brought in a food box.

Inside, there are bird's nest stewed with snow pear, American ginseng slices, and poria and yam cake, among other things.

Among them, bird's nest stewed with snow pear is one of Lin Daiyu's favorite dishes. She would eat some even when she wasn't sick, and she liked it even more when she saw it now.

Compared to Zijuan and Xueyan's forceful persuasion to drink the medicine, this made her feel much better.

Lin Daiyu expressed her gratitude a few times, and then slowly began to eat with the help of her maid.

Originally, Jia Can's limerick had cleared up her inner turmoil and swept away her pent-up emotions. Now, these medicinal meals were nourishing her body, taking into account both her physical and mental well-being.

After eating, Lin Daiyu felt much better. Although she was not completely cured, she was much better than before Jia Xichun came.

After the maids left, Jia Xichun smiled and said:

"If Sister Lin likes to eat, that's fine. Second Brother Can said that since you're staying with the old lady, all your meals are fixed, which is extremely inconvenient. If you like anything to eat, just tell me, and I'll talk to Second Brother Can and have it delivered separately from the East Mansion."

Lin Daiyu was soothed and deeply moved by what she heard. Looking at her, she said:

"This... I can't accept it. It's already an honor to receive his concern. How could I trouble him further?"

Jia Xichun shook her head and said, "Sister Lin, what are you saying? Putting aside Brother Can, I should do the same. Do you mean to disregard my feelings after knowing each other for so many years?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Daiyu pursed her cherry lips, gazed at Jia Xichun, and was speechless.

While Jia Xichun's words were ostensibly her own, they actually implicated Jia Can, intensifying the strange emotions lurking within her.

After a long while, Lin Daiyu finally spoke:

"Your East Mansion is still holding a funeral. If you worry about me, wouldn't that just cause them trouble? It's better not to."

Jia Xichun immediately responded, "That's exactly why I'm preparing some meals for you, Sister Lin. After all, the fire in the kitchen is burning all day, and all sorts of ingredients and seasonings are always ready."

"Sister Lin, you don't need to worry about these things. Just focus on getting better. When you're better, Brother Can will probably invite the sisters to the East Mansion to enjoy the flowers and wine. At that time, Sister Lin can thank Brother Can in person."

Upon hearing this, Lin Daiyu's pretty face flushed even more, clearly due to shyness. She playfully scolded him repeatedly, but her face was full of radiant smiles, completely dispelling her previous sickly appearance.

Seeing this, Jia Xichun was happy that Lin Daiyu's condition had improved, and was also amazed by Jia Can's ability. He had cured Lin Daiyu in just one time, like a divine doctor. It was truly miraculous. If she hadn't experienced it herself, she wouldn't have believed it was real.

Suddenly, melodious laughter came from the bedroom. The maids outside, including Zijuan, were secretly surprised. When they got up in the morning, Lin Daiyu's condition had worsened, but in the blink of an eye, she was playing with Jia Xichun.

"Lin Daiyu, what are you and Fourth Sister talking about? Why are you so happy?"

Just then, Jia Baoyu suddenly arrived, barging in without waiting for Zijuan and the others to inform him.

The laughter of Lin Daiyu and Jia Xichun, who were chatting and laughing, suddenly stopped. Lin Daiyu's smile vanished instantly, and she voluntarily lay down and turned her back.

Seeing this, Jia Xichun simply called out to Jia Baoyu softly before preparing to leave.

Having run into a snag, Jia Baoyu could only stop Jia Xichun and ask her:

"Fourth sister, what were you talking about just now? Why are you so happy?"

Jia Xichun didn't have many feelings for Jia Baoyu, mainly because they were already cousins. She only cared about Jia Baoyu because they grew up together and because Grandmother Jia and others valued him highly.

Now that her half-brother Jia Can has suddenly risen to power, she sees him as her closest brother, and her attitude towards Jia Baoyu begins to subtly change.

Seeing that he was blocking her way, Jia Xichun simply replied:

"It's nothing, just a joke. I'm going back to my room to rest now."

With that, he walked past Jia Baoyu and left.

This left Jia Baoyu feeling awkward and embarrassed. He wanted to call out to Jia Xichun, but didn't know how to start, so he could only watch her leave.

After a long pause, Jia Baoyu could only turn to Lin Daiyu and say:

"Sister Lin, I know I was wrong. It's all my fault. Grandmother has already scolded me severely. Don't worry, I will never do it again."

As he spoke, he even prepared to move closer.

Unexpectedly, Lin Daiyu pulled the quilt over herself and covered herself up. Although she didn't say anything, her attitude was already very clear.

Upon seeing this, Jia Baoyu was stunned. Even when the two of them had quarreled in the past, it had never come to this. He really didn't know what to say.

After a long pause, he awkwardly said:

"Sister Lin, you should rest well. I'll come back later. The old master said that I'm not allowed to go anywhere these days. I'll stay here with you and never leave you alone again."

Upon hearing this, Lin Daiyu, lying on the bed, felt a chill in her heart, and a shadow of gloom flashed across her eyes. She was already completely disappointed in Jia Baoyu, and Jia Mu's actions not only showed no consideration for her feelings, but also forced her to reconcile with Jia Baoyu.

A wave of sorrow washed over her, and she felt very worried. If Jia Baoyu came to stay with her all the time, she would get annoyed, but she couldn't drive him away, nor could she throw a tantrum.

Her condition, which had improved after Jia Can pointed out her inner conflict and brought her medicinal food, caused her to feel depressed again. Her lips were slightly pursed, and she had a lot of grievances and heartache, but nowhere to confide in anyone.

After a while, Lin Daiyu felt that Jia Baoyu had left, so she lifted the quilt, peeked out, took a few deep breaths, and her emotions gradually calmed down.

Suddenly, he thought of something, took out the doggerel written by Jia Can from his pocket, looked at it carefully, his eyes lit up, as if he suddenly saw some hope, and the pent-up anger he had just felt dissipated quite a bit.

For a moment, I stared intently at the poem, seemingly lost in its beauty.

evening.

Xue Baochai and the three sisters of the Spring Festival arrived again. The group first exchanged pleasantries, and then the four of them looked at each other, hesitant to speak.

Lin Daiyu, being quick-witted, noticed their behavior and asked:

"Do you have something to say?"

Xue Baochai nodded slightly and looked at Jia Yingchun, saying:

"Second sister, you're the eldest, you should say it."

Jia Yingchun, who had never had much of her own opinion, could only say after hearing Xue Baochai's words:

"Sister Lin, Baoyu knows he was wrong this time, so please forgive him this time. It's best if everyone can get along peacefully, and the old lady will be at ease. As you know, our family has been going through some troubles lately, and things are not going well at home. Sister Lin, you are so smart and sensible, so please don't make things difficult for the old lady."

As she spoke, Jia Yingchun looked at Jia Tanchun, Jia Xichun, and Xue Baochai, thinking of letting them continue the conversation.

The three of them simply lowered their heads, seemingly unaware that Jia Yingchun was watching them, and remained silent.
