Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Chapter 250: Just Jealousy

Daiyu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Daiyu knew very well how the wives of the kings were flattered by the maids, so she never cared about Xichun's birthday!

"why are you laughing?"

Perhaps because she felt humiliated, there was a hint of displeasure in Mrs. Wang's tone.

Daiyu hid the smile on her lips and said, "My family has already made preparations for Sister Xichun's birthday, so you don't need to worry about it."

Mrs. Wang had nothing to refute, so she simply shut up and waited for Lady Jia to speak.

Grandmother Jia got straight to the point and said, "I asked you to come here today because I want to verify an old matter with you. Lai Da said that you once threatened him with the fact that he embezzled money from the mansion. Is this true?"

Mrs. Wang felt nervous and cursed Lai Da inwardly, a guy who was always causing trouble and holding others back, and who told everything after being taken to jail.

She calmed herself down and replied, "I guess so. He found out that I had embezzled money from the treasury and wanted to blackmail me... Later we reached a consensus that we were both making money from the treasury, so it just depended on who was more capable."

As soon as the words came out, Mrs. Wang felt something was wrong.

Why did she just say the truth so directly? This was not what she had prepared in her mind!

Daiyu saw that the medicine had begun to take effect, and before Grandmother Jia could speak, she asked, "Why did you attack my mother?"

Mrs. Wang was still thinking about how to argue, but her mouth was faster than her brain and she blurted out: "Oh - who made her say something sarcastic when your uncle took a concubine?"

Daiyu naturally didn't believe that the matter was so simple, so she asked, "Just a few sarcastic remarks? What sarcastic remarks?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Mrs. Wang turned around and wanted to go out, but found that the maid she brought with her was nowhere to be found, and two maids from Lixiangyuan were still standing at the door.

She turned to look at Lady Jia, her tone questioning: "Is this what you meant?"

Grandmother Jia stared at Mrs. Wang with a gloomy look in her eyes: "Since you are here, tell me the truth. I also want to know how Min'er offended you that you had to use such a vicious method as poisoning to deal with her!"

Mrs. Wang seemed to have been touched on by Lady Jia, and sneered, "Vicious? Then what she did back then was like cutting flesh from my heart!"

Who in the capital didn't envy her back then! Since she was born, the old Duke had started saving up a dowry for her. She was pampered from childhood to adulthood, and was held in the palm of her two brothers' hands.

When she grew up, apart from the princesses and princesses, who could overshadow her and Xu Zhilan? Later, she was granted marriage by the emperor and married into a fifth-generation marquis family. The mansion even searched for good things for her as her dowry.

But she is just a daughter who has been married off, and she is like spilled water. Why should anything she takes out of her dowry be better than the betrothal gift I give her?"

Mrs. Wang's words seemed absurd to Daiyu. It turned out that the root of all this was just jealousy.

Thinking of this, Daiyu also laughed.

"What are you laughing at!" Mrs. Wang's face turned pale because of Daiyu's laughter. She stared at Daiyu with a terribly distorted expression on her face.

"I laugh at your ignorance and your ridiculousness. Do you think that the Heavenly Family's arranged marriage is simply because they think my mother and father are a perfect match? How naive!

It was just an attempt to make friends with the two forces. If the Jia family had been perfunctory and not taken it seriously, the emperor would have punished them long ago!"

Even after hearing Daiyu's explanation, Mrs. Wang still pursed her lips unwillingly, raised her chin slightly, and looked unconvinced.

Daiyu didn't want to let her off so easily: "Even if you wanted to do something to my mother, how could you, a young lady in the boudoir, know how to poison someone by soaking jewelry in medicine and fumigating cloth?"

"The doctor Wang that the palace is used to using is actually a distant relative of our Wang family. Outsiders only think that he happens to have the same surname as our Wang family, but they don't know that his achievements today are all due to the support of our Wang family behind the scenes."

Mrs. Wang said this with some pride.

After hearing this, Daiyu felt sick: a human life, in Mrs. Wang's eyes, was nothing more than an object that could be calculated at will.

When Mrs. Wang saw Daiyu's disdainful expression, she immediately became unhappy.

She snorted coldly: "What's so funny! Instead of worrying about the cause of Jia Min's death, you might as well worry about yourself. You are so weak, even if the family gives you tonic like water, you won't live past 18 years old!"

Grandmother Jia was so frightened listening to this that she almost stood up.

Daiyu saw this and held her hand in time, whispering in her ear: "Don't worry, grandma, the poison in my body has been cured, and I will definitely live to be seventy or eighty years old, so you don't have to worry."

Grandmother Jia raised her head and stared into Daiyu's eyes. Seeing that she did not avoid her gaze at all, she felt relieved.

This was not the time to ask in detail, so Grandmother Jia suppressed this question in her heart and glared at Lady Wang with an unfriendly look.

Daiyu comforted Lady Jia and turned to Mrs. Wang and said, "It seems that you understand the effect of this medicine very well."

Speaking of the Wang family's secret medicine, Mrs. Wang showed a charming smile on her face.

This kind of expression had never appeared on Mrs. Wang's face before, and Jia Zheng, who was hiding behind her, felt a little strange when he saw it.

"This is a treasure that our Wang family found overseas! I don't know how many lives were invested in each copy. Jia Min can be said to have died in a dignified way!"

She continued to express her resentment towards the Jia family: “When I first married into the family, my mother threw all the household affairs to me and left me to deal with those stubborn servants.

Do you know how cautious I was at that time? But your good uncle was concerned that since he had a mistress, he could naturally take in a concubine!

And what about Jia Min? How did she respond when I complained to her about this?

She said that she had not been pregnant since she entered the mansion. It was common for a wife to take a concubine and have children for her husband.

At that time, I thought that Jia Min would get married in the future. If she couldn't get pregnant, and the child died young, would she be happy to take a concubine for Lin Ruhai?

After saying this, Mrs. Wang suddenly burst into laughter, her laughter full of arrogance and wantonness.

She laughed for a long time, and then said, "The fact is that no matter how virtuous she is, she must feel very uncomfortable when her husband takes a concubine!"

Daiyu did not comment on her inner distortion, but asked a detail: "Have all the dowry cloths been fumigated?"

Mrs. Wang's eyes flashed with a strange light: "Yes, I can't tell which cloth Jia Min will use and which one she won't. In order to ensure that there is no mistake, I naturally sent someone to deal with all the cloth."

When Jia's mother heard this, she could not help but yelled, "Mad man! Really crazy!"

She had previously tried to stop Daiyu from dealing with Mrs. Wang, but now it seemed that she was really too soft-hearted.

It would not be an exaggeration to send such a person to the government.
