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

110 If you feel you have nothing to repay me with, then offer yourself to me.

Upon hearing Jia Yingchun's words, Lin Daiyu knew without a doubt that it was Jia Mu's intention, and she immediately felt distressed, her eyes filled with sorrow.

Grandmother Jia played a clever trick. First, she made Jia Baoyu stay with her all day and not allow him to go anywhere. Then, she had Xue Baochai and the three sisters of the Spring Festival come to persuade her.

They even used the stability and harmony of the family as an excuse, saying that if Lin Daiyu didn't forgive Jia Baoyu, then she was being unreasonable and causing trouble for others.

More importantly, he is unfilial. With these noble principles stated, Lin Daiyu, as the granddaughter who lives here, seems to have no room for resistance.

When Grandmother Jia invoked the principle of filial piety, it was the most lethal move against Lin Daiyu, leaving her no choice but to comply.

However, Lin Daiyu already had a rebellious mentality, and this time she had completely given up on Jia Baoyu and did not want to have any further involvement with him, so how could she be willing to comply?

Overwhelmed by a surge of emotions, Lin Daiyu even considered that it would be better to end her life and be free from the troubles of worldly affairs, without having to worry about anything anymore.

But as soon as the thought arose, the doggerel written by Jia Can suddenly appeared in my mind, and my heart calmed down a lot in an instant, and some of my extreme thoughts disappeared immediately.

Xue Baochai, with her keen perception, noticed Lin Daiyu's emotional fluctuations and quickly offered gentle words of comfort:

"Sister Lin, don't overthink it, and please don't take it to heart. Your health is the most important thing. Focus on getting better first, and we can talk about other things later."

Lin Daiyu glanced at her and saw the concern in her eyes. Her heart warmed, knowing that they had no choice but to come. Since Grandmother Jia had forced them to come and persuade her, they dared not refuse.

He immediately nodded slightly, looked around at the four people, and said:

"Yes, I understand. Thank you for worrying about me."

Seeing the troubled look on her face, Jia Yingchun said with shame:

"Sister Lin, I'm sorry, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Daiyu interrupted him:

"Second sister, you don't need to say anything more. I don't blame you. We've known each other for so many years, I know you best."

Jia Yingchun pursed her lips, looking at her as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Jia Tanchun quickly tried to smooth things over:

"It's good that Sister Lin understands, let's not talk about this anymore..."

Then, they changed the subject, talking about some lighthearted and funny things, and soon the atmosphere became relaxed and cheerful.

Although Lin Daiyu chuckled along, her brows were furrowed with worry, clearly not wanting to cause trouble for her sisters.

After chatting and joking for a while, Xue Baochai said:

"Alright, let Lin Daiyu rest. She's frail and ill, so let's not disturb her for too long."

Jia Yingchun and Jia Tanchun both nodded and followed Xue Baochai to say goodbye to Lin Daiyu.

Jia Xichun, however, stayed behind, saying she wanted to keep Lin Daiyu company and talk some more.

Although Xue Baochai and the others did not know what else Jia Xichun wanted to say to Lin Daiyu, they noticed that Jia Xichun had been visiting Lin Daiyu's room more often recently. They didn't know why, but they didn't investigate further.

Just assume that Jia Xichun is concerned about Lin Daiyu.

After Xue Baochai and the other two left, Jia Xichun whispered to Lin Daiyu:

"Sister Lin, don't worry. I'll go back to the East Mansion and talk to Second Brother Can about this. He'll surely have a way to relieve your worries. Don't forget how effective his 'remedy' was for you the other day!"

As he spoke, a strange, meaningful smile appeared on his face.

Upon hearing this, Lin Daiyu felt both anticipation and unease, her face flushing slightly. She quickly said:

"No... Fourth Sister, please don't tell him about my affairs anymore. Right now, your East Mansion is holding a funeral. He's in charge of such a large mansion, with so many trivial matters to attend to. How can you trouble him with my affairs?"

"Besides, I already owe him a lot, and I... I have no way to repay him, so how can I owe him more?"

After speaking, he lowered his eyes, looking quite ashamed.

Jia Xichun leaned closer and whispered a teasing remark:

"Sister Lin, if you truly feel you owe me so much and have no way to repay me, why not offer yourself to me..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Daiyu blushed deeply, raised her hand and slapped Jia Xichun, scolding her:

"Fourth girl, stop talking nonsense! Just wait until I'm better, then I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Jia Xichun smiled and dodged the question, then became more composed and continued:

"Okay, Sister Lin, I was just saying that, look at you, you're getting anxious again..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Daiyu feigned anger and covered her mouth, saying shyly:

"You're the one who's anxious! Your whole family is anxious!"

Jia Xichun knew when to stop, so she suppressed her smile and changed the subject:

"Sister Lin, please accept this as me worrying about you. Seeing you like this makes me feel bad too. You've already made your stance clear, but...sigh..."

In the end, Jia Xichun suppressed some of her thoughts and didn't say them aloud, but Lin Daiyu naturally understood. Her smile gradually faded, and a wave of sorrow flashed in her eyes.

After a long pause, Jia Xichun continued:

"Therefore, Sister Lin, you don't need to think about these things anymore. Just think of it as your younger sister thinking of you. No matter who I go to see, just consider it as a debt to me. Between us sisters, we don't need to worry about debts or making up for them. As long as you are well and happy, that's all that matters."

Upon hearing this, Lin Daiyu felt much more cheerful and deeply moved.

Looking at Jia Xichun for a moment, I felt that she had changed a lot. She had grown up all of a sudden and was no longer the youngest and quiet little sister she used to be.

I couldn't help but ask, "Fourth sister, I feel like you've changed a lot lately?"

Jia Xichun's expression froze slightly, then she replied calmly:

"Perhaps it's because the Eastern Prefecture has changed, and I've changed along with it."

Upon hearing her explanation, Lin Daiyu immediately thought of Jia Can. Jia Can was the biggest variable in the Ningguo Mansion, not only suddenly entering everyone's field of vision, but also rising at an astonishing speed.

For a moment, everyone was even more eager for Jia Xichun to get the solution she wanted from Jia Can.

Then Jia Xichun continued:

"Good sister, please rest and recover. I'm going to the East Mansion now. I'll be back tomorrow morning with good news for you."

Lin Daiyu gazed at her and nodded heavily: "Hmm... It's cold at night, remember to wear more clothes so you don't catch a cold."

Jia Xichun smiled at her: "I know, don't worry about me."

After speaking, she gave a slight curtsy and withdrew.

Watching her slightly brisk back, Lin Daiyu secretly marveled at Jia Can's abilities. In such a short time, Jia Xichun seemed to have changed her personality.

After gazing outside for a while, Lin Daiyu suddenly recalled Jia Xichun's joke from earlier, and her heart softened instantly, her pretty face flushing with a beautiful blush.

I feel I owe him more and more, and I have no way to repay him. It seems the only thing I can do is...

Then she secretly blamed herself, wondering what she was thinking and how shameless she was!

But she couldn't help but wonder why Jia Can cared about her so much.

She couldn't help but overthink it. After all, there is no love without a reason in the world, not to mention that the two of them were both unmarried young men and women. Did Jia Can's concern for her mean that he liked her?

In an instant, Lin Daiyu felt increasingly embarrassed, her heartbeat gradually accelerated, and the blush on her face grew more and more pronounced, appearing as a healthy rosy glow, unlike someone who was ill.

It took her a while to calm down, but her pretty face still had two rosy blushes, which added to her beauty.

Gradually, she fell asleep, a smile on her lips, as if she were lost in a beautiful dream.

When Zijuan came in to check on Lin Daiyu, she was secretly surprised. She had served Lin Daiyu for many years and had never seen Lin Daiyu sleep so soundly, let alone have a smile on her lips.
