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

Seeing Qin Keqing's slightly shy demeanor, and how her white mourning clothes made her appear even more charming and alluring, Jia Can was quite moved. He reached out and gently tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, then softly said:

"Qing, just enjoy the show."

Qin Keqing was filled with sweetness. She grabbed Jia Can's hand, interlocked their fingers, and gently hummed in agreement. She couldn't help but move closer to Jia Can and rest her head on his shoulder.

Jia Can paused for a moment, then immediately put his arm around her shoulder and whispered sweet nothings in her ear.

Qin Keqing listened with delight and felt a surge of joy. She leaned even closer to Jia Can and wrapped her arms around his waist.

The two lingered tenderly for a while, then Jia Can whispered a reminder in Qin Keqing's ear:

"Alright, Keqing, it's almost time for you to go. Like I said, we'll have a long time to spend together from now on, so a little more time won't make a difference."

As he spoke, he gently patted her back.

Qin Keqing, however, pouted, which was unusual for her:

"Hmph... I can't bear to part with you..."

Seeing that she was completely different from her usual dignified and gentle self, and even showed a rare childlike side, Jia Can was stunned for a moment, then showed a doting smile, leaned close to her, and whispered a few words of coaxing.

No one knew what he said, but Qin Keqing blushed deeply, her face turning red all the way down to her ears, and even her snow-white neck turned pink.

She was both shy and happy, but couldn't help but smile, clearly extremely satisfied. In the end, she reluctantly let go of Jia Can's warm embrace, straightened up, and then virtuously and carefully straightened Jia Can's wrinkled clothes.

Jia Can personally saw her off. The two walked side by side to the door. Qin Keqing turned around, glanced at him, her eyes filled with unspoken words, but in the end she only smiled faintly and turned to walk along the covered walkway.

Jia Can stood at the door, watching Qin Keqing's graceful figure disappear around the corner of the corridor before turning back and walking away.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw a familiar figure standing silently in the room—it was Yu Hui.

I don't know when they came in, or how long they've been standing in the room; their expression is rather strange.

Jia Can, having long been accustomed to his elusive and unpredictable manner, calmly stepped forward and politely bowed.

"Greetings, Lord Yu."

Yu Hui looked at him with a complex expression and sighed:

"Young master, you truly have a kind heart. Under such circumstances, you were able to remain patient, without showing any anger or disappointment."

"Anyone else would probably be consumed by anger or disheartened by now, but the young master is still preoccupied with the princess..."

As he spoke, his gaze inadvertently swept over the spot where Qin Keqing had just been sitting, but he didn't continue.

Jia Can felt slightly embarrassed after hearing this, but remained calm and composed on the surface, replying neither servile nor arrogant:

"Since it was a predetermined outcome, why should I be angry and disappointed? What's meant to come will come, and what's meant to go will go. I might as well stay calm and just watch how the other party ends up."

Upon hearing this, Yu Hui looked at him with even greater admiration, her eyes filled with praise.

"Excellent! With such a mindset, young master, how can you not achieve great things!"

Jia Can keenly sensed that what he was talking about was not a major matter, but a grand undertaking, as if Yu Hui's plans extended far beyond the current struggle for the title of Ningguo Mansion.

A thought suddenly struck him, and he was about to ask further when Yu Hui immediately changed the subject:

"Young master, what are your plans next? Should I report directly to the Emperor Emeritus?"

Seeing that he seemed unwilling to elaborate on what he had just said, Jia Can suppressed her doubts and didn't press him. She followed Yu Hui's words, continuing the conversation:

"Yes, regarding Jia She's attempt to seize Ningguo Mansion, we will need to trouble you to inform the Emperor Emeritus. Also, I have another matter I would like to ask for your assistance with."

As he spoke, he looked earnestly at the afterglow.

Yu Hui nodded immediately, without the slightest intention of refusing:

"Please speak freely, young master. Since the Emperor Emeritus has ordered me to help you, I will do my best to help you achieve whatever it may be. Your affairs are my affairs, so there is no need to stand on ceremony."

Upon hearing this, Jia Can felt somewhat ashamed:

"Now that Jia Zhen and Jia Rong are both dead, your mission is complete. What follows is ultimately just a matter of the Jia family's internal affairs and has nothing to do with your mission. I shouldn't trouble you any further, but..."

Yu Hui waved his hand dismissively.

"Young master, what are you saying? Since the matter has not yet been completely settled, I should continue to help you. Please speak frankly, there's no need for such formalities."

Jia Can was deeply moved upon hearing this, a warm feeling welling up in his heart. He also understood even more that Yu Hui had shown him special care; otherwise, no one else would have been so selfless, enthusiastic, and devoted to helping him.

Taking a deep breath, suppressing some of his emotions, he lowered his voice and said:

"In that case, I will not refuse any longer. I would like to ask you, sir, to help spread some news."

"For example, Jia She, relying on his status as the hereditary master of the Rongguo Mansion, interfered in the succession of the title in the Ningguo Mansion, made irresponsible remarks, and proposed that Jia Baoyu of the Rongguo Mansion be adopted."

"In reality, they are bullying the orphans and widows of the Ningguo Mansion, engaging in the act of exploiting those who have no descendants, and not even sparing their own relatives of the same lineage. They have no moral bottom line and are extremely shameless."

Upon hearing this, Yu Hui's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he immediately understood the deeper meaning behind Jia Can's actions. He raised an eyebrow slightly and praised:

"Young Master, you intend to let outsiders know about this matter. Even if the Emperor Emeritus doesn't say anything, the public's opinions will be enough to give Jia She a hard time. People's words are a fearsome thing, and the anger of the masses is hard to defy. Jia She will probably be condemned by both words and writings."

Jia Can nodded slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips:

"That's right. Jia She is self-righteous, greedy and shameless. He thinks he can take this opportunity to seize everything in the Ningguo Mansion, but he doesn't know how to deal with the accusations of the crowd. When the time comes, everyone will push him down when he falls from grace."

Yu Hui nodded in agreement, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Yes, this is indeed a good move. Young Master doesn't have to do anything to put pressure on Jia She from the outside, forcing him into a dilemma. It is truly a brilliant strategy that wins a battle from afar."

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, looked at Jia Can, and changed the subject:

"Young master, I think we should go and complain to Old Madam Jia. I've heard that the relationship between mother and son is not good. If she knows that Jia She is so presumptuous, she will definitely step in to suppress him and prevent him from acting so recklessly."

"Family scandals should not be aired in public. It's never a good look to make a scene outside. It's better to resolve it at home to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Jia Can shook his head:

"Lord Yu, haven't you figured it out yet?"

"If this matter had not been approved by Old Madam Jia, how could Jia She have dared to be so presumptuous, truly believing that he was in charge of the Jia family?"

"Although Jia She is the eldest son who inherited the title, Old Madam Jia is still alive. When did it become his place to make decisions?"
