Chapter 34 The 34th day of being transformed into Jia's mother

When Jia Baoyu arrived at the Lin residence, Lin Daiyu was feeding Lin Ruhai medicine.

Lin Zhong took Jia Baoyu into the inner room. Because Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu were cousins and familiar with the Jia residence, he did not avoid going out.

"Uncle, are you feeling better?" Jia Baoyu was a little embarrassed. After all, he had only heard of this uncle in the past but had never seen him.

Lin Daiyu wiped the corner of her father's mouth and put away the bowl and spoon. Lin Ruhai leaned back and pointed casually, "Sit down. There is nothing serious. You will be well after a period of rest."

He was seriously ill at the time, and Jia Lian and Lin Daiyu hurriedly took him back to Beijing. This matter must have caused a lot of noise in Yangzhou.

The arrival and departure of the imperial physician were kept secret.

But he was planning to finish the arrest of the Lianghuai salt smugglers at that time. This delay may have given them a chance to breathe. Even though he reported to the emperor as soon as he woke up, he was still worried.

Selling private salt has been extremely difficult since

ancient times. Not to mention that salt tax is the second largest tax revenue of the country and is particularly important; those private salt groups that are entangled, gradually becoming a climate, and possessing military equipment are particularly difficult to deal with. The salt smugglers who can become the leaders of the major groups are very smart and courageous. If they are not curbed, they may become traitors like Huang Chao and Zhang Shicheng.

Since Lin Ruhai served as the Imperial Censor of Lianghuai Salt, he has been cautious and did not dare to take risks. He did not leave the Lianghuai bureaucracy, but secretly accumulated strength to catch all these salt smugglers who crisscrossed the Yangtze River.

It's a pity that he failed in the end... The only thing to be thankful for is that he did not die as he thought when he was sick. Thanks to his mother-in-law, he can reunite with his daughter again.

Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai relieved the tangle between his eyebrows. He looked at Jia Baoyu, and with gratitude in his heart, Baoyu was particularly pleasing to his eyes. He had a good appearance and was humble.

Lin Ruhai tested Baoyu's homework for a few sentences, and asked about some recent events, and then found Lin Zhong.

"When I returned to Beijing, your grandmother asked me to investigate a matter. I spent some time, but I never had the opportunity to ask someone to bring it back to Beijing. Some of the things in it were also because I was careless and didn't know people well. You take this file back to your mother-in-law."

Lin Ruhai took the file from Lin Zhong and handed it to Baoyu, "Yu'er, you haven't visited your grandmother for a few days. Let's go together today and say hello to my mother-in-law on my behalf."

"Yes, Dad." Lin Daiyu bowed.

Lin Ruhai looked at his graceful daughter with satisfaction. Thinking of talking to his daughter these days, from her appearance, conversation to her behavior, she was impeccable, which reminded him of Daiyu's mother.

Especially the confidence that his daughter unconsciously exuded, and her insightful views on things and people, this is not a simple upbringing.

The girl who was just a little talented back then now has her own opinions in all aspects, but she is not rigid or dogmatic. She is still herself, but she is more comfortable knowing the rules.

For a moment, Lin Ruhai was even more grateful to his mother-in-law. Perhaps only someone with such a background as the old lady could teach such an outstanding daughter, Lin Ruhai thought.

Here, as Lin Zhong gave the order, Lin Youcai had already prepared the carriage.

Jia Baoyu was very happy to bring Sister Lin back. Although every time he saw Sister Lin, he couldn't help but think of the hateful "Sister Lin" in his dream, but after getting along with her, he would unconsciously feel close to her.

After all, they grew up together.

Lin Daiyu said goodbye to her father. After the carriage had only moved a few steps, she lifted the curtain and spread her white palms to the man riding a horse beside her, "Give it to me."

Jia Baoyu followed her line of sight and looked at the file in her arms, embarrassed, "But this is for the old ancestor."

"It is precisely because it is for the old ancestor that grandma will not stop me from reading it." Lin Daiyu raised her white neck and snorted.

Jia Baoyu thought so too, his grandmother was not good to Lin Daiyu. But more importantly, this expression and tone made Jia Baoyu subconsciously feel pain in his hand, and he quickly handed the file to Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu took it and ruthlessly put down the curtain.

However, she did not open it. She was just unhappy that since her father wanted someone to bring the things to her grandmother, why didn't he give it to her, but waited until Baoyu came to tell him.

The two arrived at Rongqing Hall, and Yingchun and others were there. When the old lady saw Daiyu, she waved happily, "How is your father?" Although she heard Jia Lian say that Lin Ruhai's condition had improved, the old lady was still a little worried. It was

not until Lin Daiyu nodded and said that she was well that she felt relieved.

Lin Daiyu stretched out her hand and handed the file to the old lady, "Grandma, my father asked me to bring it to you. You asked your father to check something at the beginning. It seemed that your father

had been checking it for a long time." What did she ask Lin Ruhai to check? According to her habit, the old lady opened the things in her hand and displayed them on the screen. The next moment, a netizen translated it for her.

"Ah, this is the file of the human traffickers. It's Xiangling!"

When Xiangling was mentioned, the old lady finally remembered that when Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing that year, she remembered that Daiyu and several other maids had played well with Xiangling, so when Lin Ruhai returned to Yangzhou, she asked him to help find Xiangling's parents. I didn't expect that there would be news now.

"In fact, we all know that Zhen Shiyin had already gone with the lame Taoist priest, but Zhen Shiyin's wife Feng might still be alive. '

'But life is miserable. First, her daughter got lost, then her house was burned down, and her husband suddenly left with a Taoist priest. Only she and the maidservants around her were left, and she has a powerful father. It's so miserable!' '

Look at this file, it seems to be the file of the human traffickers in Yingtian Prefecture.'

At this time, the old lady and the netizens heard Lin Ruhai's words relayed by Jia Baoyu.

'It seems that Lin Ruhai has found Jia Yucun.' '

It's not far from Yangzhou to Jinling, but there are so many people.' '

There is a note in the file.' '

The note said that it was the Feng family who moved away from Jinling. One day, they happened to hear someone describing Xiangling's appearance to others - the rouge mark on her forehead, so they wanted to test her.' '

The Feng family, that's really a cycle of cause and effect. '

'It also said that Zhen Shiyin was not found, only Feng Shi was found, and was driven out by Feng Su. She found a shabby house nearby and made a living by sewing. '

'Alas, it would have been great if we could have found the person earlier. ' '

It can't be helped. It was a coincidence. It was good enough to find him. Moreover, it took a lot of effort to find him from Feng's family to Jia Yucun and Zhen's family. '

The old lady sighed after hearing this. She handed the file to Lin Daiyu and the three sisters who gathered around, "You can take a look for yourselves."

After just a moment, they exclaimed repeatedly.

Baoyu, who squeezed in forcefully, was full of pity, "So Xiangling's real name should be Zhen Yinglian. How could such a good girl be like this?"

Three sisters Daiyu felt even more sad for Xiangling.

"What should we do now? Should we tell Xiangling and Baojie?" Xichun asked.

"Of course we have to tell them. How can anyone be willing to be a maid if a good lady doesn't want to be one?" Daiyu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"But Xiangling, Xiangling has been promised to the eldest brother of the Xue family." Yingchun said, "We had a feast two years ago."

Tanchun turned to ask the old lady, "Grandma, what should we do?"

The old lady was also a little hesitant. She was not ignorant in her early years. Lin Ruhai's words "not knowing people well" were obviously not that simple. Moreover, Jia Baoyu was asked to hand over the files to her personally, instead of asking Jia Zheng who returned to the mansion a year ago to bring them back. It was clear that there was something tricky here. Moreover, since he had found Xiangling, he must know the cases of Jia Yucun and Xue Pan.

As for who planned Jia Yucun's position, Lin Ruhai recommended him. Secondly, how could Jia Zheng help someone to be reinstated with just one sentence? Obviously, Wang Ziteng was asked.

Otherwise, Jia Yucun would not have been so close to the Jia Mansion and the Wang Family in the past two years.

Wang Ziteng, even Lin Ruhai might find it difficult to deal with. Because once Xiangling's old story is brought up again, it will inevitably involve Xue Pan's case, and Xue Pan is already a dead person in that case.

If he is resurrected from the dead, this matter is bound to become a big deal. When it comes to the ears of the emperor, it will not be as simple as offending Wang Ziteng.

Alas, it turns out that people cannot do wrong things, otherwise, they will have to wrap up with lies one after another.

Thinking so, the old lady sent away the servants and asked Yuanyang to guard the door. She explained this to the maids bit by bit. They are no longer the innocent children of the past, and some things can be understood.

As for Baoyu, the old lady just thought he was a by-product.

"This...what should I do?" Xichun was panicked.

Yingchun and the others did not fully understand the twists and turns in the early years. They only knew about this matter, but it was the Xue family's business after all; plus they were young and forgot about it after a long time.

Now that they know that Jia Yucun was recommended by their families, and they have received hints from Mrs. Wang and others, they realized the seriousness of the matter.

The old lady had already discussed it with netizens, "You only tell Xiangling about the Feng family, and the things behind are our elders."

"Grandmother, let my father find someone..." Daiyu spoke softer and softer, but Tanchun had already looked over. After all, one is smart and the other is sharp, and they have already sensed one or two points.

If no one investigates Xiangling's affairs, it will be covered up forever.

But the old ancestor asked Lin Ruhai to find Xiangling's parents. Didn't he think that Xue Pan's case would be brought up?

The old lady patted Daiyu's head and gave Tanchun two looks. The old lady didn't know what she was thinking at the time. She felt pity for Xiangling and because the maids all liked Xiangling.

So, when she met Lin Ruhai, she said one more word.

Maybe at that time, she didn't think about what to do if she really found out. But subconsciously, she might still dislike the calm and nonchalant look of Mrs. Wang when she talked about Xue Pan's case that day.

"Okay, let's go back." The old lady said, "Feng, I will have someone secretly send her a message and take care of her to Beijing."

When the girls heard this, their eyes lit up.

They chattered and walked out, and because Daiyu hadn't come back for several days, she missed her very much now, so she couldn't stop talking, and didn't notice that Baoyu didn't follow.

The old lady looked at Baoyu, who had been staring blankly, and gave him a chestnut, "What are you thinking about?"

"Grandma..." Jia Baoyu looked dazed, as if he was about to cry. He had only seen prosperity and splendor, but never thought that there were dead bones buried behind it, especially when his relatives were involved, "I..."

At this time, a maid said outside, "Grandma, Master Qiang is here."

Earlier, the old lady felt that Jia Lian might be deceived by his father and could no longer follow her to implement the great plan, so she thought of Jia Qiang.
