The next day.

In a daze, she heard rustling noises coming from the bedroom. Zijuan sat upright with excitement, wiped the corners of her eyes and listened sideways for a moment. She suddenly felt refreshed and saw that Xueyan didn't seem to be there.

Without noticing, she carefully lifted off the quilt and got off the floor, pushed on her shoes and pushed the door open into the inner room.

Since the conflict became public that day, every time Jiao Shun and Lin Daiyu got close inside, she and Xue Yan would stand at the door like two generals, hoping to wait for the opportunity to replace them.

However, the two of them never got what they wanted.

Not to mention Zicuckoo, even Xueyan, a person who has been here before, can't relive the old dream.

In fact, after these few times, Zijuan has roughly figured out that Xueyan was just lucky that time. Her daughter had not yet made up her mind to stay in the capital, and she still had the mentality of repaying her kindness to Uncle Jiao.

So when I was hurt and couldn't hold on, I would immediately think of letting Xue Yan take over.

But later on, as I gradually relaxed my heart, I became more and more obsessed with Uncle Jiao. Even if I didn't dominate my man like the second mistress and refused to let him go, I would never share him easily again.

And Uncle Jiao is an even more sensible person. With his small care and diligence, he has finally managed to win over the girl's body and mind. Naturally, he will not make trouble for the sake of two side dishes that everyone wants.

Therefore, at least for a short period of time, neither she nor Xue Yan would have a chance to substitute.

Therefore, Zijuan has calmed down her mentality recently, and staying outside is just with the thought of achieving nothing.

Of course, if there is a chance, she will never let it go.

For example, right now.

Zicuckoo tiptoed into the inner room, and when she saw Uncle Jiao getting up as expected, she hurriedly went over to help him change his clothes silently.

Although there were no words on his lips, his delicate and fragrant body was constantly rubbing against Jiao Shun, but his thoughts had already been revealed.

Jiao Shun was always open to anyone who came to this. After getting dressed, he casually slapped Zicuckoo on the back of her buttocks and said with a smile: "Go outside and prepare the net. I will accompany you girls to stretch your muscles in a while."

Zicuckoo subconsciously covered her back with a backhand, nodded with a blushing face, turned around and hurried to the door, but she almost collided with the sleepy Xueyan.

As soon as Xue Yan saw her coming out of the inner room, her almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened, and she subconsciously opened her mouth to scream.

"Shh~"

Zijuan was the first to make a silent gesture: "Master is up now, let's go get the net ready so that we can stretch our muscles with the girl later."

Xue Yan was given the upper hand by her, and she was afraid of waking up Lin Daiyu, so she couldn't say anything at the moment, so she could only follow her out angrily.

inside the house

Jiao Shun put all Lin Daiyu's clothes on the bedside, gently pushed Lin Daiyu and said, "It's almost time to get up. Today I will accompany you to do some activities, so that you won't have to hesitate and muddle through."

Lin Daiyu woke up hazily and heard this sentence. She originally wanted to sit up, but immediately turned her body sideways, facing away from Jiao Shun, and continued to pretend to sleep.

In the past year or so, her physical condition has improved as she quit "love poison". However, she has developed a temperament that prefers quietness and dislikes movement for more than ten years, which cannot be changed so quickly.

Seeing this, Jiao Shun opened a corner of the quilt and said with a smile: "If you don't want to play in the yard, then we can do the same in the house."

As he spoke, he made a show of getting back into the quilt.

Lin Daiyu hurriedly muttered to herself and stood up. She pouted her little mouth enough to hold an oil bottle, and was about to get the clothes on the bedside, but Jiao Shun got there first, shook them off and helped her put them on.

Because she was used to being served since she was a child, Lin Daiyu was just a little nervous at first, but then she quickly adapted to it. She covered her yawn and said casually: "Wait for tomorrow..."

Halfway through, I felt something was wrong, so I changed my words and said, "I'll get up earlier next time and help you get dressed and wash up."

"Ha ha……"

Jiao Shun heard the words and said narrowly: "Whether you can get up early or not, I'm afraid it doesn't depend on you, right?"

Lin Daiyu was a little confused at first, but then saw the malicious smile on Jiao Shun's face, and immediately understood, she spat a few times, and pinched Jiao Shun's arm unwillingly, and then reluctantly

Got to the ground.

She originally wanted to wash up before exercising, but was stopped by Jiao Shun. Firstly, she didn't have much free time in the morning, and secondly, Lin Daiyu's small body would make her sweaty after practicing for a while.

Wash it again?

So he took her outside and played badminton in the dim light of the sky.

In order to fight for a while longer, Jiao Shun didn't even have time to eat breakfast. He just said that he would buy some ready-made food when he arrived at the Yamen, and hurried out of the house.

Lin Daiyu sent him to the door, then came back to change out of his worn-out clothes. Just as she was about to go to the living room to have dinner, she saw Chunxian coming in from the outside and said: "Girl, Brother Xu asked me, are you going to do anything today?"

Don’t you want to go to Xue’s house to deliver or receive letters?”

Because Xue Baochai has to go to his uncle's funeral recently, Lao Xu is asked to go to Xue's house early in the morning to hand over the letters between the two.

Today was originally the day to submit letters, but Lin Daiyu thought about the achievements she had made in the area yesterday, and shook her head and said: "Wait a moment, I will send it over tomorrow after I have sorted it out."

…………

Xue Mansion, Zijin Street.

Xue Baochai waited until her mother urged her again and again before she was finally convinced that Daiyu would not write again today.

Did something happen to her?

After all, the communication between the two has never been interrupted these days.

Xue Baochai got on the carriage absentmindedly, looking dissatisfied along the way.

The reason for this is, firstly, that she is now immersed in the story of "Farewell My Concubine"; secondly, because she can always deduce something beyond the letters from Lin Daiyu's letters.

To be honest, at the beginning, Baochai was very wary of Lin Daiyu's sudden letter, but later she found that she had really devoted her body and mind to the novel, and then she gradually relaxed a lot, and just thought that Lin Daiyu was asking for help.

But he couldn't, so he turned to the creation of scripts.

However, as time passed, Baochai gradually discovered some unusual places.

Sister Lin seems to have gone deep into the opera house and learned about the actors in person, and she seems to have done so more than once!

This shocked Xue Baochai.

With Lin Daiyu's love for seriousness, she did not doubt that Lin Daiyu dared to do this. However, in her original imagination, after Lin Daiyu was frustrated in love, she should be filled with unwillingness and loneliness, hiding in a corner of the capital and silently licking her love wounds.

That's right.

But why does it seem that life is so colorful and so vast that fish can leap into the sky and birds can fly?

After being shocked, Xue Baochai deliberately collected these few words in recent days. The more he thought about it and the more he thought about it, the more curious he became about Lin Daiyu's current life, and he was even slightly envious.

If she wasn't burdened by her family, would she be able to take off her shackles and live a free and easy life like Sister Lin?

Once this thought occurs, it will never go away.

So much so that Xue Baochai once thought about trying to find out where Lin Daiyu ended up, so that she could witness with her own eyes Lin Daiyu's life after she was released.

But she couldn't put aside her worries after all, for fear that doing so would alarm others and affect her marriage at the end of October.

Although her expectations for this marriage have already dropped to freezing point, she cannot tolerate being reduced to a loser in the eyes of others.

Just thinking about this, I saw the Wang family - Prince Teng, because of his title, was required to be inactive for twenty-eight days. During this period, it was really tiring, but fortunately, it would be over in a few days.

Feeling sad.

Xue Baochai got off the carriage in advance and was about to go around to the front to help his mother when he heard someone not far away gloating: "What's so strange about this? The emperor originally liked him because there was no one available, but now there is a king

Mr. Ge, there is a New Confucian school under his command, and that dog...then a minister like him who is lucky enough to be promoted will naturally become a dispensable chamber pot!"

A lucky minister?

Are you talking about Brother Jiao again?

Xue Baochai frowned unconsciously. She had heard about the New Confucian school for a long time, but to say that Jiao Shun would lose the emperor's favor because of this seemed to be an exaggeration, right?

Could it be that something happened that I don’t know about yet?

Furthermore, the person who heard the voice seemed to be Brother Lian. Baochai had actually been aware of the fact that he was quite critical of Brother Jiao, but it was a bit too much to openly add insult to injury like this.

No matter how jealous Brother Jiao is of his current achievements and is unwilling to let his former servant climb over him, Brother Lian should not show it so blatantly. After all, Brother Jiao is not only benevolent to the Rongguo Mansion, but at least it can be said to be so.

Sincerity is all there is to it.

Nowadays, how many things, big and small, are dependent on him?

Not to mention anything else, the case of Sister Feng's embezzlement and the predicament of the empress being imprisoned, if he hadn't been the one to intervene, how could the crisis have been easily turned around?

Even when he changed his name to the "Wangfu Project" in public, Brother Jiao's support and help also occupied a very important position.

Silently lowering her evaluation of Jia Lian's character, Xue Baochai helped Aunt Xue to the mourning hall.

As usual, the elders gather together and the young people gather together.

Xue Baochai has actually gotten closer to Wang Xining recently, but because what she just heard has not been clarified yet, she deliberately sat down with Wang Xifeng and Tanchun.

After telling the matter to the two of them, they both immediately became interested. Wang Xifeng hurriedly called the steward in the mansion to come out and find out what happened.

What happened at the engineering school yesterday was a big news on the front page, so it wouldn't be difficult to find out.

After understanding the cause and effect, Wang Xifeng became anxious at first. She secretly covered her belly and said in a panic: "How could this happen? He won't really fall out of favor from now on, right?"

Xue Baochai was still thinking about it, but Tanchun shook his head first and said: "Things should not have reached that point yet. Brother Jiao has gone through many ups and downs until now, and he will never sit back and wait for death!"

Although she spoke categorically, she could not reassure Wang Xifeng. She still hesitated and said: "But...but this time it was Mr. Ge who ended up directly. According to outside reports, it was the emperor who was behind the instigation."

Xue Baochai is not surprised that Wang Xifeng is so worried. Unlike Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng has a closer relationship with Jiao Shun and is the actual beneficiary. Naturally, he does not want Jiao Shun to collapse.

So he also comforted her and said: "The reason why Your Majesty introduced New Confucianism was to promote the New Deal as soon as possible; secondly, he probably also wanted to add some checks and balances to engineering so that Brother Jiao's family would not dominate - after all, since the Qianli News
