Chapter 18

"There's one more thing I need to trouble Brother Cunzhou," He Shen suddenly said.

Jia Zheng's mind was in a state of confusion. Without thinking, he said, "Go ahead."

He Shen took out a silk handkerchief.

He wiped his hands slowly and said lightly, "I don't know how Miss Lin is doing.

After all, she is Brother Cunzhou's niece. It's better to send someone to take a look.

Miss Lin has been weak since she was a child.

Baoyu is sick.

I'm afraid she has suffered more shocks.

If she's sick, I'm afraid it won't be good. "

He Shen's words were flawless. Jia Zheng nodded. "Brother Zhizhai is right."

"Then send someone to do it."

He Shen urged without leaving a trace. "Just say that I'm worried. I need to ask about Miss Lin's recent situation."

He Shen didn't want to sell this good news to Jia Zheng.

Of course, he wanted Daiyu to remember this good news on his head.

Jia Zheng didn't notice He Shen's plan. He immediately nodded and asked the first-class maid in the courtyard to pass on the message.

After a pause, Jia Zheng remembered that Baoyu was swollen like a pig's head. How could he be sent back?

Jia Zheng frowned.

He couldn't help but show a hint of worry on his face.

He Shen saw this and said, "Brother Cunzhou has solved the immediate danger.

Why are you still so worried? "

Jia Zheng said awkwardly, "Baoyu's appearance …"

"This appearance is just right.

After waking him up,

He will also learn his lesson and know that ridiculous things can't be done. "

He Shen paused.

He deliberately said, "Or,

Brother Cunzhou is worried.

How will he explain it to the Old Madam in the mansion? "

Jia Zheng nodded. "Exactly!

Old Madam loves and cherishes him the most. How could she bear to see him get hurt? "

He Shen's expression changed, and his tone became much colder. "Brother Cunzhou, what are you talking about?

What is this place?

Rongguo Province!

Who was the master of the house?

Brother Cunzhou, you!

Brother Cunzhou, do you still remember your original intention of becoming an official?

Brother Cunzhou had to stick to his principles and teach his unruly son a lesson.

Don't tell me you still have to fear the criticism of others? "

"So cowardly. Can Brother Cunzhou still be considered a leader in Rongguo Province?"

He Shen did not give Jia Zheng the slightest chance to interrupt. He waited for him to finish his speech like a cannon, sonorous and forceful.

Jia Zheng had already followed his logic and continued to think.

"Brother Zhizhai, you're right." Jia Zheng sighed softly. "I was blinded in the past."

Old Madam should respect him, but she shouldn't lose her dignity as the master of the house because of this.

He Shen was right.

When disciplining Baoyu, why would others intervene and criticize him?

Jia Zheng looked at Baoyu again.

Baoyu's cheeks were swollen. He was confused and dizzy, as if he had been beaten silly.

But looking at him now, he was much better than when he was carried here.

Jia Zheng suppressed his heartache and said in a low voice, "Send Baoyu back."

The servants were already scared out of their wits. In Rongguo Province, which one of them wasn't a tyrant?

But at this moment, they didn't dare to raise their heads and look at He Shen.

After listening to Jia Zheng's instructions, they didn't want to stay any longer. They hurriedly carried Baoyu out.

The two servants who were usually close to Baoyu were still thinking that when Baoyu woke up, they would warn him again and again —

It was okay to provoke anyone, but never that Assistant Minister He!

He looked polite, but deep down, he was a ruthless person who made people tremble.

He Shen walked back to the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and pushed it to Jia Zheng's seat.

"Brother Cunzhou, you've worked hard. Sit down and have some tea to calm yourself down."

Jia Zheng nodded, walked back to sit down, and picked up the cup of tea.

He Shen poured himself another cup and said, "I'll wait for Miss Lin's reply before leaving."

Jia Zheng nodded again.

Jia Zheng didn't take the initiative to talk to He Shen again. He seemed to be deep in thought.

He Shen also didn't speak again.

For a moment, the hall fell into silence.

There were two things to talk about.

Back in the Jade Screen Cabinet, Daiyu casually picked up a book and flipped through it in boredom. After a long time, she couldn't read a single word.

Zi Juan and Xue Yan looked at each other. They both knew that Daiyu was worried about something, but they didn't know how to persuade him. They could only sit down beside Daiyu.

Just as the room was quiet, they suddenly heard a voice from outside.

Zi Juan stood up abruptly, "It sounds like Second Master's servant girl.

I'll go take a look. "

After Zi Juan walked out, Xue Yan whispered into Daiyu's ear with a smile, "Maybe that young master sent something again."

Daiyu unconsciously pursed his lips and didn't say anything. However, his heart, which had been disturbed by Baoyu for the past few days, now felt a bit of warmth.

Actually, even if he didn't send anything, just a few words would be good.

Daiyu was so lost in thought that he didn't even realize that the book had slipped out of his hand.

Zi Juan was still talking outside, but this time, the person didn't leave immediately. Instead, she walked in behind Zi Juan.

When she saw Daiyu, she bowed and said, "Miss Lin."

Her attitude was very respectful.

Daiyu had seen many servants in Rongguo Province who showed her some respect on the surface, but didn't show much sincerity in their actions.

Now that she saw this servant girl, who was so respectful and sincere, she was a bit surprised.

"But does Second Uncle have any orders?" Daiyu asked.

When the servant girl recalled what had happened in the courtyard just now, she still felt her heart tremble.

She hurriedly adjusted her expression and said with a smile, "Assistant Minister He came to the residence and was talking with Second Master just now.

He even called Bao Er Ye over and spoke with him for a while. "

Daiyu was stunned for a moment.

So it really was that older brother of hers.

The servant girl continued, "After they finished talking, Assistant Minister He said that he wanted to send someone to ask if Miss Lin was well.

Thus, Second Master sent me here. "

Daiyu's heart warmed again.

She didn't feel happy in the Rongguo Manor. The reason was that she didn't have a good relationship with other people, so no one really took her seriously.

But now, she knew that there was someone who had always kept her in his heart.

"I'm very well." Daiyu moved her lips, but in the end, she only spat out three words.

In the end, she had asked someone to pass on a message, so it didn't seem appropriate to say anything else. She could only use these three words to gloss over it.

The servant girl hesitated for a moment, then thought about it and said, "Miss, please relax a bit. When Bao Er Ye went over today, Second Master was very angry."

Daiyu was puzzled. What did this have to do with her relaxing a bit?

The servant girl had no choice but to say in an even softer voice, "Bao Er Ye let … oh, he taught him a lesson. It's all because Bao Er Ye has done some bad things these past few days and made Miss Lin sad.

Presumably, Bao Er Ye will restrain himself a bit in the future. "

Even though the servant girl herself didn't believe what she said.

Daiyu was stunned.

She heard the servant girl mumble in the middle of her words.

So the person who taught Baoyu a lesson wasn't Second Uncle?

It was … it was that older brother?

Was it because Baoyu had been sick these past few days and brought trouble to her?

Daiyu didn't know what to say for a moment.

The servant girl looked at her expression and whispered, "Miss Lin?"

"Yes."

"Then I'll go and pass on the message?"

"Okay."

The servant girl heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped out of the door. She hurriedly rushed back to Jia Zheng's courtyard.

Daiyu sat at the table in a daze for a while.

Not long after, Zi Juan came in and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Daiyu shook her head. She was too embarrassed to tell anyone else what had happened.

That older brother actually hit Baoyu because of her … and Second Uncle wasn't angry at all!

Zi Juan saw that Daiyu was a bit distracted and smiled, "Forget it. I won't ask Miss anymore. I think it's probably some good news.

As long as Miss is happy. "

When Daiyu heard this, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved up. She was indeed happy.

When Zi Juan and Xue Yan saw this, they both felt relieved.

Xue Yan said, "I'll go get some food for Miss."

"Okay." Daiyu pursed her lips into a smile.

Xue Yan happily walked out of the door. Even her steps were much lighter.

Not long after, someone came to tell her that her older brother and mother had come to visit her.

Xue Yan was stunned for a moment before she hurriedly left.

She had never seen her mother before, but she had received many things that her mother had personally made.

At this moment, although there was a sense of unfamiliarity, there was more excitement and happiness.

Xue Yan couldn't help but think that today was really a good day!

"Second Master, I've already asked Miss Lin. Miss Lin said that there's no problem," the servant girl said obediently.

Jia Zheng also heaved a sigh of relief and smiled, "Daiyu is really broad-minded."

He Shen's face was expressionless.

No one was born understanding. Even if someone bullied them, they wouldn't dare to say anything.

It was only because of their environment.

Daiyu knew that no one in Rongguo Province could make decisions for her.

If she told Mother Jia about this, it would be too embarrassing.

She tried her best to be careful in the Jia Mansion. She didn't want to leave any evidence for others to use against her.

In the novel, the reason why Daiyu always threw tantrums at Baoyu was because in the entire mansion, Baoyu was the only one who understood her and cherished her …

Daiyu was just an ordinary girl.

Her parents should have pampered her until she grew up and got married.

Others only hoped that she would be more generous and broad-minded. Even if she was wronged, she should be wronged to be called a good girl.

At this moment, Jia Zheng turned around to look at He Shen.

"Brother Zhizhai?"

Jia Zheng was still a little cautious because he saw that He Shen's face was still not very good. It was somewhat indescribably scary.

"Nothing."

He Shen said lightly, "In the future, Brother Cunzhou, you must remember what happened today. It's not good for me to discipline Baoyu on behalf of Brother Cunzhou.

What kind of appearance would that make? "

"Yes, Brother Zhizhai is right." Jia Zheng deeply agreed.

He Shen only gave him two options. One was that He Shen hit Baoyu, and the other was that Jia Zheng hit Baoyu himself.

Therefore, Jia Zheng completely forgot that he had another option, which was to not hit Baoyu at all.

"His Majesty also ordered me to do some things. I won't stay any longer. If I have time in the future, I'll chat and drink tea with Brother Cunzhou."

"Okay."

Jia Zheng happily sent him out. Before he left, he didn't forget to say, "I've really made Brother Zhizhai worry today."

It was a pleasant surprise that Jia Zheng was so easy to coax.

He Shen took in Jia Zheng's expression and walked forward. Only then did a little smile appear on his indifferent face.

"Brother Cunzhou." He Shen called out.

As expected, Jia Zheng didn't feel offended at all. Instead, he smiled amiably at He Shen and said in surprise, "Brother Zhizhai also has a day off today?

I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to invite Brother Zhizhai. "

"I've been sick recently. His Majesty empathized with me and allowed me to rest at home.

Yesterday, I went to the Taoist temple to ask the Taoist priest for medicine. "

Jia Zheng suddenly understood and said, "I went to the Taoist temple only because it was quiet there.

But if I really wanted to ask for medicine, I'm afraid that the Taoist priest doesn't have the ability. "

At this point, Jia Zheng was a little hesitant to say something.

"Brother Cunzhou, if there's anything you want to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating?"

He Shen's tone was obviously neither cold nor warm, but it always gave people an illusion of closeness. They couldn't help but want to get closer to He Shen.

"There's a doctor who often comes here. He's not a miracle doctor, but he does have some insignificant skills.

Brother Zhizhai, if you don't mind, I'll ask someone to invite him over … "

How could He Shen lack a doctor?

Not to mention that he himself was a doctor.

Even if he was really sick, with his current status and power, wouldn't it be easy for him to find a good doctor?

If Jia Zheng said this to others, they would probably laugh at him.

But He Shen could tell at a glance that Jia Zheng was sincere in wanting to be friends with him and see him as a confidant.

But He Shen didn't take it to heart.

After all, there were too many people who wanted to treat him as a confidant with just a few words.

"Why would I mind?" He Shen smiled slightly, "Then I'll have to trouble you."

"Coincidentally, the doctor is in the mansion today."

"Oh?"

Before He Shen could say another syllable, Jia Zheng had already said angrily, "It's all because of my unfilial son!

He's not the least bit motivated and only knows how to be stubborn all day long … "

Baoyu was beaten?!

He Shen wanted to laugh.

Jia Zheng scolded, "He's really unbearable!"

Of course, He Shen wouldn't go along with Jia Zheng.

Why did Jia Zheng always scold Jia Baoyu?

It was only because he had high hopes for Jia Baoyu.

Naturally, he could only tolerate being scolded and beaten by himself, but not by others.

He Shen said lightly, "I've long heard that there's a young master who was born with a jade in his mouth in Rongguo Province. He must have great luck. Brother Cunzhou, why are you so anxious?"

Jia Zheng scolded and beat him, but after hearing He Shen's comforting words, his expression became much better.

"If he could be half as good as Brother Zhizhai, then I wouldn't be like this …" Jia Zheng sighed.

He Shen didn't continue the conversation.

If Jia Zheng saw He Lin and saw that He Lin was already full of poetry at such a young age, wouldn't he be even angrier?

Wouldn't Baoyu be beaten until he couldn't get out of bed for ten days?

Seeing that He Shen didn't continue the conversation, Jia Zheng felt that something was wrong and hurriedly led He Shen inside, "Brother Zhizhai, this way please."

After crossing the front door, they could see even more wealth and grandeur inside.

Many female servants were bowing with their heads down, looking very well-behaved.

But He Shen's expression didn't change.
