Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 348 Take out all the jewelry.

"It's dark! It's dark!"

With the sound of parrots imitating each other, the sky really darkened because the lights in the inner hall suddenly went out!

In that moment of total darkness, everything was silent.

The whole world held its breath.

Even the sound of birds singing disappeared.

The sounds of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! panic... clang... clang" hit everyone's ears.

This is the sound of swords clashing.

Lin Daiyu didn't dare to shout, although she was worried that the parrot would be sacrificed.

Whenever she thought of this, her heart ached.

The first thing I saw when I came into this world was this parrot.

It accompanied me step by step, although I was always afraid that it would be killed because of its talkativeness.

But after all, you can't see it, and if you can't see yourself, you can deceive yourself and think that it flew out to play.

Because it is indeed always missing.

But if I let myself watch it die in front of me,

I really can't stand it.

Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but feel panic.

Everyone stood still, holding their breath.

There is a curtain covering it, so the light from outside cannot come in.

The dark shadows are blurry and vague.

The flashing of swords and the chirping of birds are full of blood.

Damn it, it was a narrow escape.

People subconsciously grabbed whatever they could grab, and Lin Daiyu grabbed Miaoyu tightly.

At this moment, she hoped that Miaoyu's Bodhisattva would really work.

……

The Daoxiang Village where Li Wan lives in the Jia family's Grand View Garden is brightly lit and the atmosphere is tense.

Nanny Lai's old face became more serious. She straightened her clothes and gave instructions.

"Please all the ladies and maids take off your jewelry and put them in a unified box."

"For inspection purposes."

She had just been called up and was gathering the crowd and managing the servants.

At this age, it's time to enjoy a peaceful life.

There is no way, the remaining female relatives are too young.

Don't meet outsiders casually.

Most maids are afraid of not being able to handle the situation.

Wang Xifeng and Li Wan are now both housekeepers.

They both frowned and questioned Lai Ma.

"Mammy, can you tell me how to take out the girls' personal belongings?"

Nanny Lai also had a headache. She had never heard of such an investigation in her entire life.

Prohibited items are mostly owned by men, so there is no need for women to violate any of the prohibitions.

But there is no way, she has asked, and she must get all of them.

It seems like you have to choose something from it.

I can't tell you what to choose specifically.

She had no choice but to patiently explain to Wang Xifeng and Li Wan.

"Second Madam, that father-in-law has a donkey face and is difficult to talk to."

"Erye Lian has been scolded."

"Because the master seems to have hidden something."

"If the master's leg hadn't been broken, he would have been dragged away long ago."

"If we hide it secretly, they will have to let the palace maids check it."

"It would be embarrassing if it happened, which would not be good either."

"And the things are all counted, and the books in the mansion have all been handed in."

"Everything will be correct."

Nanny Lai didn't dare to say whether something would be missing. After all, during such a search, there was no guarantee that someone would steal something.

Wang Xifeng looked at her sisters and her own daughter.

The drooping eyes are full of anger,

But what can be done?

Now I can't leave, and besides, many of my things are not here.

She was also worried about whether there would be trouble if the order didn't match.

At this time, she saw Li Wan and the others had already started picking things.

Tanchun asked the secretary to write a list.

It clearly states who the things belong to, what their names are, and how many pieces they are.

Now that the imperial guards have blocked the door, we have no choice but to do this in order to avoid further embarrassment.

Wang Xifeng suppressed the pain and took off the hairpin on her head.

Seeing that the Second Mistress couldn't bear it anymore, everyone calmed down and started to move.

……

"My child, you can't take this off and you can't give it to me." When Aunt Xue saw Xue Baochai, she even took off the gold locket around her neck and put it back.

He hurriedly grabbed her arm.

Ying'er's eyes widened, she felt so surprised.

The young lady usually treats this as a treasure.

No one else is allowed to see it.

Why today...

Are you willing to take it out?

But the young lady has always been smart, so I guess she has her own plans, right?

If this is the case, what should we do with the jade?

Ying'er frowned as she thought, not daring to speak.

"Mom, why are you so confused?"

"Now if we hide it secretly, it will be a serious crime."

"We can't afford to be blamed."

Xue Baochai explained, holding the golden lock in her hand.

Aunt Xue looked incredulous but refused to let go.

I didn't know what to say, so I just kept shaking my head.

Li Wan saw it and hurriedly advised,

"Precious girl, you don't need to pick this! This is not in the book in the mansion."

Xue Baochai turned to Li Wan and said with a wry smile,

"It's okay, sister-in-law. It's just an item. Don't let anyone worry about it."

"What's the matter? Aren't my aunt and the others still not back?"

"And the Queen!"

"Who else can steal my things?"

"Let someone check it out, nothing will be missing."

When Nanny Lai heard this, she looked at Xue Baochai in surprise.

Lai Ma followed up on this topic and said to the other ladies,

"This Miss Bao is right. It's best not to resist."

"Master Lian asked quietly and was told that some people resisted and some were buried alive with the Empress Dowager."

"Just think about how scary this is."

When everyone heard this, they dared not disobey. Some of them who had secretly hidden things took them out quietly and put them back in the box.

Aunt Xue's eyes were blank and her hands gradually loosened.

But his face turned pale and his heart seemed to be empty.

At this time, Jia Lian's servant also secretly brought a message to Wang Xifeng, saying,

"Let's hurry up. It's today. It's not just us. There are several other families as well."

"It seems that there is a queen in the palace! Everyone needs to be checked. It seems that Concubine Zhen also went there..."

"all……"

"Second Master asked me to remind Second Madam that everyone on the list must be reported to the Foreign Affairs Department."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xifeng did not dare to hesitate.

If this is the reason, it makes sense. The Queen Mother died.

Now that Concubine Zhen is gone, there will definitely be a war.

I hope God blesses me and that my queen, who has always been cautious, doesn’t get involved!

……

Just as everyone was panicking, Tanchun's surprised voice came over, "Xiren, why did you take out second brother's jade as well?"

"Sister-in-law, does Aunt Lai want this too?"

Tanchun saw Xiren quietly put a piece of jade into the box.

She looked closely and found that it was Jia Baoyu's jade.

I couldn't help shouting out,

She felt that this thing should not be handed over.

This is something Baoyu was born with and it is impossible for it to have any relationship with the outside world.

Xiren also had a bitter look on her face. She had thought she could keep the jade, but she saw that Xue Baochai had put the golden lock in as well.

She realized that she had been thinking simply.

Later, she wanted to release it quietly, but someone saw it and called out again.

Because she knew it was a fake, it didn't matter whether it was registered or not.

Now that she was called out, she had to explain, "Miss San, Master Bao left in a hurry and didn't have time to put it on."

"I took it out, and this..."

Xiren was about to say that the jade was fake, but Xue Baochai, who was standing by, helped her explain.
