Chapter 492: Welcoming Spring in the Red Mansion (4)
There was a lot of concern in her words, “Second sister, I heard that you were sick some time ago.
How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?
I wanted to come see you, but they were worried that I might get sick, so they wouldn't let me. I'm really sorry."
"How can I blame you? You don't have to care about it."
Shuangshuang sighed inwardly. This Jia Baoyu was really just as everyone described.
He is kind, considerate, loyal, and respectful of other people's opinions.
He is very respectful to women and does not think that they are superior to others.
It's just that I'm too indecisive and lack patience and decisiveness.
If you don't control your temper like this, you will retreat when you encounter setbacks and will not be able to shoulder any important responsibilities.
At this time, when Mother Wang was passing by the small garden, she met Wang Xifeng who came to pay her respects to the old lady.
Because Wang Xifeng was in charge of such a large mansion, she would always come to pay her respects a little later than others.
This was also a gap that Shuangshuang had deliberately calculated.
At this time, Shuangshuang was standing silently in the corner without saying a word.
Because the original owner was such a dull person in normal times, no one was surprised.
No one noticed that a root as thick as a hair quietly grew under her feet.
Following Xiaojuzi's gaze, he quickly came to Mother Wang.
At the moment when Mother Wang bowed to Wang Xifeng, it quietly wrapped around her calf.
With another harder pull, Mother Wang fell flat on her face.
Of course, in the eyes of others, including herself, they all thought that she was just standing unsteadily.
Genxu quickly pulled the scarf covering the red gold headdress out of Mother Wang's arms again.
Originally, Wang Xifeng was so happy to see that Wang Mama could fall like this while just bowing, so she quickly gave instructions to the people around her.
"Hurry, hurry, help Madam Wang up. It's not even New Year's Day yet. Even if you give me this great gift, I won't have a red envelope for you."
This one sentence instantly relieved the embarrassment of Nanny Wang falling to the ground.
But when she was helped up, her golden hair instantly fell to the ground.
When Wang Xifeng saw this, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.
If it was something else, she might not remember it, but this was clearly something she had just given to her second sister.
The mistress of the house shouted sternly with all her might.
"You are such an impudent old slave, how dare you steal your master's personal belongings!
Come, tie him up and take him away for a thorough interrogation!"
Mother Wang was so frightened that she immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Second Madam, Second Madam, this slave did not steal it. Our girl just borrowed it from me to play with for a few days."
"Heh, do you take me for a fool, or do you take your girls for a fool?
She would lend you such a valuable item to play with, you really think you are such a big shot!"
"It's true, Second Madam! I would never dare to lie. If you don't believe me, go ask our young lady!"
At this time, Mother Wang was very sure that Yingchun, with her weak character, would definitely admit that she borrowed it.
Wang Xifeng saw that she was so confident and thought of Yingchun's dull temper.
He was also worried that his good intentions might lead to bad consequences, so he gave instructions to Lin Zhixiao's family.
"Bring the people with you, and let's go to the old lady's room together.
I would like to ask our second girl, does she think the gift I gave her is shabby?
It was actually given to a servant to use."
Wang Xifeng was angry, and her expression naturally showed it a little.
With a serious face, he stood outside the door and said to the maid who was opening the door curtain.
"Sister, please tell the old lady that I have something important to report."
Wang Xifeng's voice was clear and loud, so the people inside could hear it clearly.
The old lady's smile froze for a moment, then immediately returned to her kind and gentle expression.
He laughed at everyone and made a deliberate joke.
"Look at this Feng Lazi, she's even talking to me about the rules today. Hehehe"
Everyone in the room immediately started laughing.
Mrs. Wang has always been favored by the old lady, so she speaks more casually.
Then he joked, "Old lady, this is a good thing!
Our second wife in charge is so well-behaved and polite.
Doesn't this just prove that you, old lady, taught me well?"
"Okay, okay, you still know how to say it."
Then he said to Yuanyang, "Why don't you go and invite your second grandmother in?
Be careful that she deducts your monthly allowance."
Yuanyang covered her mouth and joked, "That won't do, I still rely on that monthly salary to make a living!
I will go and invite the Second Madam in right away."
Wang Xifeng was a very thoughtful person. After hearing what the old lady said, she knew that she should not go too far.
He immediately opened the curtain and walked in, looking unhappy.
"Old lady, my granddaughter-in-law is here to complain to you today."
"Oh, is there anything in our house that you, the head grandmother, can't solve?
This is really a rarity!"
Jia Shi deliberately pointed at her and exposed her shortcomings to the ladies beside her.
Wang Xifeng stomped her feet in anger.
"Look at what you said, old lady. I only have two eyes and I can't see so many places!
I came here specifically to ask you, the old ancestor, to come out and help me check things out."
"Okay, okay, tell me what's going on.
Let us all help you figure out what is the problem that has stumped our Second Madam Feng."
Wang Xifeng saw that the emotional point was right, then she spoke.
"Come to think of it, this matter is related to my second sister."
When everyone heard this, they all turned their attention to Shuangshuang's face.
Both of them showed panic at the right time, afraid of getting into trouble.
She looked at Wang Xifeng timidly, "Second sister-in-law, what do you mean by that?"
Wang Xifeng is not the kind of person who says half and leaves the other half, she goes straight to the point.
"A few days ago, you fell ill because of your sister-in-law's inappropriate behavior. Later, I gave you a headdress to make amends. Do you remember it, sister?"
"Look at what you said, second sister-in-law, I naturally know about the gift you gave me.
And I asked Siqi to keep it as a treasure, thinking of bringing it with her during the Chinese New Year."
"Really?"
Shuangshuang looked humiliated as if she had been wronged, and her eyes immediately turned red.
“Second sister-in-law, I know that I am a bit cowardly in normal times.
But I understand your kindness, sister-in-law, so how dare I ignore it?
Second sister-in-law, just say whatever you want to say.
Don't keep everyone guessing here."
"Okay, I won't hide it.
Just now, I met your wet nurse, Mama Wang, in the small garden.
Because one of them didn't stand firmly and fell, do you know what happened?"
In an instant, everyone in the room looked at her, waiting for her to perform.
"A handkerchief unexpectedly fell out of her arms, and inside it was the red gold headdress I gave to my second sister a few days ago.
I will naturally take down such a sneaky slave.
As a result, she actually said that it was borrowed from her second sister.
So, I brought the person here to confront Second Sister, didn't I? "
