Minister's Wife
Chapter 30
Good Romance Novel
Chapter 39
When Lady Wang came back, Baoyu was no longer around.
Daiyu vaguely understood something.
She was wondering why the past few days were so strange.
Grandmother always called her to have dinner with her.
She always saw Baoyu at the table.
On the other hand, Second Aunt couldn't touch Baoyu.
Today, she suddenly bumped into him.
Second Aunt even sent him away.
He was afraid that Grandmother had some ideas, and Second Aunt didn't want Baoyu to have anything to do with her.
So, she deliberately stopped him.
She recalled Grandmother's every move in recent days.
Daiyu's heart was heavy. She couldn't relax.
Everyone knew what kind of person Baoyu was.
However, Grandmother was determined to push her to Baoyu.
This meal.
Daiyu ate a little unappetizing.
San Chun lived in Lady Wang's courtyard.
Aunt Xue and Baochai lived in Pear Garden, which was in a very different direction from hers.
After they dispersed, Daiyu took Xue Yan and the two of them slowly walked back.
"Just now, I could see that Miss was unhappy.
What's the matter? "
"I don't like Cousin."
"We all know about this."
"… But someone asked Cousin to come to me."
"Second Madam?"
"Second Aunt has already helped me stop it.
Otherwise, Baoyu would also be on the table today. "
Xue Yan's heart skipped a beat.
She immediately thought of who it was, but it was not good to mention it.
Xue Yan suppressed that name in her heart, but she felt aggrieved for Daiyu.
She said, "Miss, why don't you tell Master about this?"
"No, it will make Father and Rongguo Province hostile."
"Then tell him to Assistant Minister He?"
Daiyu paused.
She was a little moved, but then she felt, "… It's not good."
It wasn't good to bother him with everything.
"It's okay.
Since I understand in my heart, I'll just avoid it in the future. "
Xue Yan nodded.
But I can't help thinking
The girl could not bring herself to tell this to the assistant minister.
Then she would go and talk to him.
At this moment, in Jia Zheng's courtyard.
Lin Ruhai was still flipping through the booklet in his hands. He flipped it over and over again, and in the end, he only let out a long sigh.
Jia Zheng asked, "What do you think?"
Lin Ruhai shook his head. "Not a single one …"
"None of them caught your eye?"
Lin Ruhai said bitterly, "No one can compare to He Shen."
Jia Zheng didn't know why he said that, so he just smiled and said, "There aren't many people who are stronger than Brother Zhizhai."
When Lin Ruhai heard him call him "Brother Zhizhai", he felt even more unhappy. He gritted his teeth and completely disregarded his usual demeanor. "What Brother Zhizhai?
In the future, just call him 'He Shen'. "
Jia Zheng glanced at him, wondering if his brother-in-law had taken the wrong medicine.
"Calling him by his name, isn't that disrespectful?"
"He can't expect others to respect him for what he did."
Jia Zheng was even more confused. "What's the matter?"
Lin Ruhai sighed. "After Lin An Bo left that day, He Shen told me that he admires Daiyu and wants to marry Daiyu …"
Jia Zheng was stunned.
Madam Wang's guess was accurate!
When he came back to his senses, Jia Zheng raised his head and said, "This is a happy occasion!
Why do you look so sad? "
After saying that, Jia Zheng hurriedly put away the booklet in front of him and said, "I shouldn't have given this to you. Since Brother Zhizhai wants to marry you, you still asked me to give you the booklet.
Aren't you asking me to become enemies with him? "
Lin Ruhai just realized how inappropriate his behavior was.
But He Shen wasn't such a petty person.
"Don't worry, brother. He Shen has always been broad-minded …"
Jia Zheng was speechless.
You probably haven't seen him beat up Baoyu.
Now that he thought about it, He Shen probably already had feelings for Baoyu at that time, which was why he didn't like Baoyu so much.
Jia Zheng was a little scared.
If Baoyu really did something stupid at that time, wouldn't he have offended Lin Ruhai and He Shen completely?
Jia Zheng handed the booklet to someone else and said, "Brother-in-law, you know that he's a good man and that others can't compare to him. He also wants to marry Daiyu.
Why should you hesitate when it's such a good thing? "
"How should I tell Daiyu about this?"
"What's there to think about?
Just say whatever you want to say.
Daiyu is already of age. "
Lin Ruhai sighed.
In order to make up for his mistake of bringing the booklet, Jia Zheng didn't want his actions to reach He Shen's ears, causing He Shen to become hostile towards him.
So he urged, "You're leaving the capital tomorrow. If you don't tell him now, when will you tell him?"
Lin Ruhai was also conflicted about this matter.
He knew that Daiyu wasn't young anymore and was about to get married.
But no father would be willing to marry his daughter off so quickly.
When Lin An Bo's family came to ask for her hand in marriage, perhaps he wasn't satisfied at first sight, so he didn't feel troubled at all.
But He Shen was different.
It was because he knew that He Shen was a good match for her.
No one could compare to He Shen. No matter how outstanding He Shen was, even if there were a hundred men to choose a husband for Daiyu.
He knew that if He Shen really doted on Daiyu, then Daiyu would marry him sooner or later.
Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai felt uneasy and reluctant to part with him.
Jia Zheng saw that he still didn't move and became anxious. He said, "Speaking of which, Old Madam also has the intention of asking Daiyu for her hand in marriage."
"Which family's young master are you talking about?"
"Introduce Baoyu to Daiyu."
Lin Ruhai's heart tightened.
Jia Zheng thought to himself, "I'm even willing to compare Baoyu to He Shen … What's so good about He Shen?
You're marrying your daughter to him. How great is that?
If you still don't understand, I'll have to go to He Shen and apologize to him another day. "
But Jia Zheng didn't know.
In Lin Ruhai's heart, Baoyu's image couldn't be worse. Hearing this, Lin Ruhai was shocked and angry.
Lin Ruhai's face darkened. He stood up and said, "I won't stay here any longer. I have to leave tomorrow. I have to take this opportunity to talk to Daiyu."
Jia Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Go ahead."
Lin Ruhai walked toward Daiyu's place with anger rising in his heart.
He thought that in Rongguo Province, only the maids and old women didn't follow the rules. Only Baoyu was a bad person who often harassed Daiyu.
But who would have thought that Daiyu's mother, who was supposed to dote on Daiyu, would be willing to push Daiyu into the fire pit?
What kind of person was Baoyu?
Jia Zheng knew in his heart.
How could Jia Zheng's mother not understand?
Lin Ruhai screamed. His anger burned so much that his chest hurt.
Daiyu's mother was also the daughter that Jia Zheng's mother once doted on!
Daiyu was the only bloodline she left behind after she passed away!
How, how could she bear to do that?
In the green screen cupboard.
Zi Juan was holding a cup of hot tea in front of Daiyu. The maids in Jia Zheng's mother's room were also standing in the room, talking to Daiyu. Old Madame Jia asked her to come over later.
Daiyu was about to refuse when she heard someone call out from outside, "Young Master Lin."
Father was here!
Daiyu's heart was immediately filled with joy.
She stood up and went out to greet him, "Father, why are you here?"
"We're leaving the capital tomorrow. I'm worried about you, so I thought I'd come to see you again." Lin Ruhai glanced at the maid who often followed Jia Zheng's mother.
When the maid saw Lin Ruhai, she hurriedly bowed and said, "Young Master Lin, I've received Old Madame's orders to come and invite Miss Lin."
Lin Ruhai's anger, which had just been extinguished, flared up again with a whoosh.
He waved his hand at the maid and said, "You can go back. Old Madame can't snatch my daughter away from me today."
Lin Ruhai couldn't suppress his anger, but the maid didn't understand. She even smiled and said, "Then I'll go back and tell Old Madame."
As soon as the maidservant left, Dai Yu asked, "Who made father angry?"
Lin Ruhai sighed and didn't answer Daiyu's question. Instead, he asked, "Recently, when you go to your maternal grandmother's place, you often see Baoyu?"
"Yes."
"I never thought that Rongguo Province would be like this …" Lin Ruhai sat down at the table with a gloomy expression.
Daiyu looked at his face and realized that his father had aged a lot.
Daiyu hurriedly sat down and said, "Father, did you hear something?"
Lin Ruhai was silent for a moment. "Your uncle told me that Old Madame wants to set you up with Baoyu."
Daiyu had already guessed this, so when he heard this, he wasn't worried at all.
"I already know what kind of person Baoyu is.
How can he be worthy of you? "Lin Ruhai didn't hide the disgust in his eyes.
He only had one daughter. How could he bear to let Baoyu trample on her?
Just thinking about it made Lin Ruhai feel as if a knife was cutting his flesh. It was really unbearable.
"I understand Grandmother's intentions." Daiyu said calmly, "Father, don't worry. I don't have any feelings for him. Naturally, I will avoid him.
Grandmother, you can't force me, right? "
At most, she would always call her over and make her uncomfortable.
It was strange.
Daiyu felt that he wasn't so easily angered by Rongguo Province's matters now. He didn't know if it was because he had seen too much, or because he had become more resilient.
"I have another thing to tell you. If you agree, we can save you from this trouble.
Old Madame will never mention Baoyu to you again. "Lin Ruhai hesitated for a while, but still decided to say it.
"Father, please say it."
"… Do you remember the older brother who came to our house and played with you for a while when you were young?
He is also the Assistant Minister He whom you call 'Uncle' now. "
Daiyu said helplessly, "Wasn't he there when I went to Second Uncle's courtyard that day?
I've already met him once before. "How could he not remember?
Daiyu then told him about the merry-go-round.
Lin Ruhai heard this and sighed again. "He is a thoughtful person."
Daiyu saw that his expression was becoming more and more worried and couldn't help but ask, "What exactly happened?"
"He …" Lin Ruhai gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words from his throat. "He told me that he wants to marry you."
Daiyu sat there expressionlessly and didn't say anything.
Lin Ruhai looked at her and felt a little uncertain. He asked, "You are Father's only child. Father only hopes to bring the best in the world to you.
Father sent you to Rongguo Province for two reasons. First, I hope that you will receive better care. Second, I hope that you will have a good marriage in the future. "
Daiyu still didn't say anything. She even lowered her head slightly, as if she was thinking about something.
Lin Ruhai said, "Father knows that you are of age and has been paying attention to which family has a good man.
But in the capital, there is no one who can compare to Assistant Minister He.
If you agree, it will naturally be a good marriage. "
"If you don't agree, then Father will reject him.
It doesn't have to be him.
Not only outstanding men know how to dote on others … "
Xue Yan was stunned to the side.
Hearing Lin Ruhai's words, Xue Yan hurriedly said, "This Assistant Minister He is also someone who knows how to dote on others."
Lin Ruhai's face was green as he admitted, "He has indeed taken care of you in the capital.
But who knows if he already had such thoughts?
Is that why he is trying to curry favor with you? "
Daiyu knew in her heart that this wasn't the case.
When he came, he always knew how to avoid suspicion for her.
He also never looked at her with an overbearing gaze.
In front of her, he had only seen her a few times, but he always had a gentlemanly demeanor.
Although she had heard how frightening he was when he taught Baoyu a lesson, it was precisely because of this that Daiyu was moved.
He only showed his stern and stern side to others. The side he showed to her was no different from when he was young.
He was always considerate and gentle.
Daiyu raised her head at this moment, "That day after the people from Lin An Bo's residence left, he said this?"
"Yes."
Daiyu pursed her lips.
Her heart was beating like thunder.
Her ears were faintly burning.
She didn't like anyone.
But he was different.
She seemed to have a good impression of him, but she couldn't tell if it was because she saw him as an older brother or … or something else.
"If you have thought it through, I will send a message to the Assistant Minister's residence.
Father will leave the capital tomorrow, and I'm afraid I can't protect you.
If you don't agree, Father will take you back to Gusu tomorrow.
Perhaps He Shen is broad-minded, but if I reject him like this, it will inevitably cause animosity in his heart. It will naturally be difficult for him to take care of you in the future. "
"Let me think about it …"
Leaving the capital like this?
She really didn't like Rongguo Province. She also missed her father, Gusu, and her former home.
But in her heart, she couldn't bear to part with them.
As long as she thought about leaving, a kind of anxiety rose from the bottom of her heart.
Daiyu's mind was filled with that person's face.
If she disregarded his identity as her uncle.
Daiyu remembered that day when she saw him in the pavilion of Lin An Bo's residence. She saw that his magnificence overshadowed everyone else, and she couldn't help but be shocked at that moment.
The burning sensation in her ears gradually spread to her cheeks.
She nodded, "I also think that no one can be better than him."
