Chapter 392 Dream of Red Mansions - Jia Yingchun 63

By the time Lady Jia woke up, the affair between Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai was already a foregone conclusion. Lin Daiyu was still wearing her wedding dress, guarding her bedside. Her face was pale, her breathing was weak, and there were traces of tears in the corners of her eyes. She looked very fragile, as if she would be shattered if Lady Jia spoke a little louder.

"Daiyu..."

Grandmother Jia's hands had begun to tremble uncontrollably. It seemed that Jia Yuanchun's death had dealt a heavy blow to her, and the symptoms of aging were becoming more and more obvious.

"Grandma..."

Lin Daiyu stepped forward, grasped Grandmother Jia's hand, and placed it on her face with affection. Now the only person Lin Daiyu could still miss was her grandmother, Grandmother Jia.

The relationship between Lin Daiyu and Jia's mother in this life is much deeper than in the previous life. Firstly, because in this life, Jia's mother has both Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu by her side, so the relationship is naturally deep. Secondly, because in this life, Jia's mother made plans for Lin Daiyu in advance because of Jia Lang's reminder.

Lin Daiyu is so sensitive, how could she not sense Grandmother Jia's true feelings? It is precisely because of this that Lin Daiyu tries hard to survive for Grandmother Jia in this life, at least so that she will not die early like in her previous life while Grandmother Jia is still alive.

Grandmother Jia's vision had begun to blur, and she could only see Lin Daiyu's expression clearly when she got very close. However, the wedding dress was too conspicuous after all. Grandmother Jia quickly determined what Lin Daiyu was wearing. Of course, Grandmother Jia knew about the marriage of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. She had been waiting in Rong Xi Hall for a long time, waiting for the two Yu'ers to come and pay their respects to her after they had paid their respects in the hall.

But what he didn't expect was that the first news that arrived was not Baoyu and Daiyu, but the news of Jia Yuanchun's death.

"Where's Baoyu? Why are you the only one here? Aren't you getting married today?"

Since the family split up, Grandmother Jia has lost a lot of power in both the first and second wives. The news that Jia Baoyu married two women on the same day was kept secret by the second wife, and Grandmother Jia was not aware of it.

Seeing that her grandmother was concerned about her marriage with Baoyu as soon as she woke up, Lin Daiyu felt so aggrieved that she couldn't speak it out. She knew that her grandmother was old and couldn't stand the stimulation, so she didn't dare to tell her the truth and could only gloss over it.

"Baoyu has some problems..."

"What happened?"

Grandmother Jia knew Lin Daiyu very well. She knew there was something wrong when she heard her words. Then she looked at Lin Daiyu's expression. She had clearly got what she wished and married Baoyu, with whom she loved each other, so why was she so broken and looked so bored?

"Grandma is fine, go ahead."

Lin Daiyu refused to say anything, but Yuanyang came in at this time. Jia Zheng had come before and Yuanyang was called by him for questioning. Perhaps in order to get rid of the embarrassment on Jia Baoyu's side, Jia Zheng deliberately delayed time and refused to leave. It was not until Lin Daiyu came in front of Jia's mother that the servants passed a message to Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng learned that the matter had been resolved, and then he left with peace of mind.

"Old lady, you're awake!"

As soon as Yuanyang came in, she saw Grandmother Jia talking to Lin Daiyu with her eyes open, and she couldn't help feeling relieved. For Yuanyang, the old lady was her only support in this mansion. As long as the old lady was around, everything would be fine. If the old lady died, she would either be forced to be taken as a concubine by the eldest master or sold.

"They are hiding it from me, for fear that the old lady will die!"

"Yuanyang, tell me, what happened in this mansion today? On this happy day, the bride was alone by my bed, but the groom was nowhere to be seen!"

Yuanyang has served Lady Jia for so many years, so she naturally knows that Lady Jia really wants to know. Even if she wants to hide it, Yuanyang dare not disobey Lady Jia's wishes. She can only polish it and beautify everything that happened today as much as possible.

However, no matter how much the mandarin ducks are beautified, it cannot change the fact that on the day of Lin Daiyu's wedding, in addition to Jia Baoyu, there was also Xue Baochai who came to the wedding hall with her.

Now that Lin Daiyu is here, but Jia Baoyu is not here, no matter how much Yuanyang tries to make up for it, Jia's mother knows who Jia Baoyu or the second wife will choose in the end.

Upon learning the truth, Grandmother Jia felt so sad for her poor granddaughter. She held Lin Daiyu's hand tightly with tears in her eyes, murmuring, "My poor Daiyu, what shall we do with this heartless couple?"

Lin Daiyu was led by Grandmother Jia to cry again until it was dark. Yuanyang went down to light the lamp. Grandmother Jia finally stopped crying. She asked softly, "Daiyu, are you willing to marry Lang'er?"

Lin Daiyu is an orphan and both her parents died early. Today's incident will definitely get out. By then, whether Lin Daiyu compromises and becomes Jia Baoyu's concubine or leaves the Jia Mansion and becomes a nun in a temple, she will have no way to survive.

The only way to fool people a little bit was to change the story and claim that today was the day of two couples getting married, and say that Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu were getting married instead of Lin Daiyu and Jia Lang.

After leaving the Jia Mansion, Daiyu still had 200,000 yuan as a dowry, so she would not live too badly. In this situation, if Daiyu continued to stay in the Jia Mansion, she would die. Obviously, Grandmother Jia had seen that Lin Daiyu was determined to die. In order to prevent her from giving up her life, Grandmother Jia had to find another way for her to live.

Lin Daiyu just shook her head after hearing this. She knew that Grandmother Jia had good intentions in proposing this matter, but her inner shame made her unable to agree to Grandmother Jia. Cousin Lang did not owe her anything, and he should not pay the price for her choice.

"Grandma, cousin Lang doesn't owe Daiyu anything. Before..."

"I already owed a lot to Cousin Lang because of the engagement. Daiyu is too embarrassed to ask Cousin Lang again..."

Grandmother Jia understood what Lin Daiyu said. She also knew that this was unfair to Jia Lang, and even a little shameless. But she really didn't want to accept her fate. She always felt that Jia Lang had known the fate of everyone in the Jia family, including her own, for a long time.

Now that she has successfully escaped her predetermined fate, Grandmother Jia believes that she can also help Daiyu escape her fate.

"Leave this to your grandmother, you just have to be obedient."

No matter what, even if it means kneeling down to Jia Lang, Jia's mother must make Jia Lang agree. Jia's mother can already feel her body weakening, and she thinks her life will soon end. If she can find a way for Daiyu to survive before she dies of old age, even if Jia Lang hates her, Jia's mother must do it.

Lin Daiyu still wanted to persuade her, but Grandmother Jia's words, "This is the last thing your grandmother can do for you..." stopped Lin Daiyu from trying to persuade her.

After Jia Lang left court, he was having dinner with Aunt Li in his own house. It was already dark outside, and the servant guarding the gate was about to close the door when a maid suddenly appeared outside the house and came up to see the master of the mansion.

"I am sent by the old lady of Rongguo Mansion in the north of the city to invite Master Jia Lang. Uncle, please don't close the door first and inform him!"
