Chapter 130 Come after me
Chapter 130 Come after me
When Daiyu heard the first few words, she agreed, but when she heard the last sentence "monsters and ghosts", she couldn't help but laughed out loud.
She grabbed Wang Xifeng's hand, put it on her face, and asked, "Do you feel it? It's warm."
Then it moved down to her neck: "It's beating strongly here. If I were really a monster, how could I help you keep the baby in your belly?"
Feeling the warmth and pulse in her hand, Wang Xifeng's doubts and uneasiness gradually dissipated. She asked again, "So you came to the mansion not because of the old ancestor's request, but because you just went with the flow?"
"That's not the case." But Daiyu couldn't say that she came here halfway, so she could only "quibble", "I didn't want to come here, but my father insisted, so I had no choice. Besides, staying in Jiangnan might be more dangerous than going to Beijing."
Wang Xifeng frowned, waiting for Daiyu's next words.
Daiyu pondered for a moment, hesitating whether to tell her her inner guess.
Wang Xifeng waited a long time for Daiyu's answer, and she became a little anxious. She slowly sat up and urged, "Don't keep us in suspense!"
"Sister-in-law, have you ever met anyone from the Zhen family?"
"Zhen family? Are you talking about our old relatives, the Zhen family in Jiangnan?" Wang Xifeng recalled, "Come to think of it, I have never seen them. Every time, the lady would mention them and then put the things into the warehouse."
"That's fine..." Daiyu hesitated for a moment, then told the truth, "Sister-in-law, you should stay away from the Zhen family in the future, and stop accepting their things."
Wang Xifeng was still pondering the message in this sentence when Daiyu continued, "When my mother was ill, Dad consulted many famous doctors, but none of them could diagnose the cause. Not long after, my mother died. When Dad was investigating the people in the backyard, he found a maid who had been secretly associated with the Zhen family. But before he could find out anything, the maid committed suicide. How decisive she was."
Wang Xifeng was slightly stunned, and subconsciously defended the Zhen family: "This... we can't just conclude that there is something wrong with the Zhen family based on a maid."
The Wang family and the Zhen family have always had a close relationship, and they are old relatives of the Jia family. How could they attack the aunt of the Jia family?
Daiyu knew that Wang Xifeng would not believe what she said before there was solid evidence. She just mentioned it casually and did not expect Wang Xifeng to believe it immediately.
So she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is right. I was just giving you a warning. If there was really solid evidence, why would I wait until today? I would have filed a complaint with the emperor long ago."
As expected, Wang Xifeng's attention was diverted: "Flag to the Emperor? That will lead to a beating!"
"It's just my guess. At that time, I was serving my mother by her bedside all day, and I was a little confused. By the time I thought of this doubt, my father had already sent me to the capital, and now I have no way to verify it. So sister-in-law just needs to be on guard, especially when it comes to food."
Wang Xifeng nodded thoughtfully, but then repeated, "I see."
Daiyu asked casually, "Also, you should be careful with the medicine you take, sister-in-law. You must ask someone you trust to personally pick it up before you take it. Otherwise, if the properties of the medicine change a little, a good medicine may become a poison."
She also didn't expect that such an unintentional reminder would actually save the lives of Wang Xifeng and her unborn child in the future, but that's a story for later.
Wang Xifeng yawned, and despite the sleepiness in her eyes, she still forced herself to say, "I'll pay attention!"
Daiyu saw that she was tired, and it was not good to disturb her rest, so she tucked in the corner of the quilt for Wang Xifeng and said goodbye, "Since my sister-in-law knows what's going on, I feel relieved. I should go back now."
Wang Xifeng wanted to get up and see Daiyu off, but she refused. Watching the figure disappear in the bedroom in a flash, Wang Xifeng felt sleepy like a tide and soon fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Wang Xifeng woke up naturally from her sleep. She thought that the meeting with Daiyu last night was just a dream until she accidentally touched a cold object beside her.
It's a porcelain vase.
The memory of last night instantly emerged in her mind. She was stunned for a long time, until Feng Er came to her side, Wang Xifeng came back to her senses, and asked coldly: "Is the Second Master still there now?"
Feng'er lowered her head and reported carefully: "Second Master asked for water twice yesterday..."
"That's not what I'm asking!" Wang Xifeng interrupted Feng'er impatiently, "Has the Second Master woken up? Go there in person and tell him that I'm inviting him over for breakfast."
Daiyu gently closed the door, walked to the corner, and asked Xueyan and Luluo, "Is everything alright?"
Before Xueyan could speak, Luluo had already grabbed Daiyu's hand and urged her in a low voice: "Miss, let's go quickly, this... is not a place you can stay for long!"
Daiyu was about to ask for clarification when she heard a charming female voice coming from the side room: "Second Master, come and chase me!"
This sound almost made Daiyu laugh out loud. She covered her mouth and quickly followed Luluo away. After they were quite far away, Daiyu burst into laughter, which made Luluo a little embarrassed.
"Girl! You can still laugh. Xueyan and I were standing at the foot of the wall and we heard it for quite a while! It really disgusts our ears!"
Daiyu couldn't help but tease her: "When you get married, you can say the same thing to your husband!"
"Oh! Girl, you are so bad!" Luluo pretended to tickle the soft flesh on Daiyu's waist, but Daiyu dodged it nimbly.
Daiyu grabbed her hands and reminded her, "We are still in the Jia Mansion! Be careful not to be seen!"
Luoluo snorted softly and then let Daiyu go.
Now that they were here, Daiyu decided to stop by to see Qin Keqing. This time, Luluo refused to stay outside and went to look for Baishao with Xueyan.
Daiyu was worried that she might see something she shouldn't, so she listened in the corner of Qin Keqing's yard for a long time. After confirming that she didn't hear anything inappropriate for children, she used a small stone to make a little noise.
Zhuhui quickly came out of the inner room, and Daiyu was very satisfied with her alertness.
Daiyu slowly walked out from the shadows and nodded to Zhuhui.
"Miss, why are you here?" Zhu Hui tapped her toes twice and walked to Daiyu.
Daiyu pointed to the room and asked, "Is Sister Qin asleep?"
Zhu Hui took Daiyu into the room and replied, "We just dealt with Jia Rong and haven't gone to bed yet."
Daiyu stopped and glared at Zhuhui: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to go in at this time!"
At this moment, a faint fragrance drifted into Daiyu's nose. Qin Keqing walked out of the inner room gracefully and said teasingly: "You still remember to come. I thought you had forgotten me!"
