Chapter 71: Vomiting Blood and the Fate of the Past

Jia Baoyu's sentence: "You have actually put the outsider Jia Cong in your heart."

It hit Lin Daiyu's heart like a giant rock, and her mind was filled with bitterness, grievance, and some confusion.

How many times have I met Third Brother Cong, how many words have I spoken to him? How have I put him in my heart? When did I put him in my heart...

She seemed to have been touched on her mind, and was stimulated by Jia Baoyu's words to the point of being ashamed and uncomfortable. She felt the world spinning, blood surging, and a sweetness in her throat. With a "wow," she actually vomited a mouthful of heart blood.

Sister Yuanyang, who was by her side, was scared to death. She rushed up to support Lin Daiyu, crying and shouting: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me."

Jia Baoyu saw that Lin Daiyu was actually vomited blood by him, and he was also scared silly. It took a long time before he stepped forward and begged: "Sister Lin, don't be angry anymore. I won't say it anymore. It's all my fault. Is it okay if it's all my fault?"

Lin Daiyu weakly raised her finger and pointed at Jia Baoyu, her eyes full of anger, but she was trembling all over and couldn't speak.

Sister Yuanyang cried and shouted: "Bao Er Ye Jia Baoyu, you should leave first, otherwise you will really anger the Miss to death."

Outside, a beautiful and tall girl in a peach-red jacket ran in. It was Sister Xi Ren from Jia Baoyu's room.

She hugged Lin Daiyu and cried: "My Yu'er, what's wrong with you? Don't scare the Old Ancestor!"

She knew that Sister Xi Ren seemed to have been present all along, so she only called Sister Xi Ren to the Rongqing Hall.

She roared at the maids like Sister Yuanyang: "I have repeatedly instructed you to serve well, but you all treated it as wind in your ears. She is only this young and is already coughing blood. How can this be!"

She comforted Lin Daiyu by her bed for a long time. At this time, the imperial physician also arrived, so everyone retreated to let the physician diagnose.

She knew that the Old Ancestor loved Lin Daiyu the most. Now that she was angered to the point of vomiting blood by Bao Er Ye Jia Baoyu, she had truly caused a major disaster. She hurriedly found the jade from the ground and pulled Jia Baoyu out of the door.

Before long, Grandmother Jia, Lady Wang, and Wang Wang Xifeng all rushed over.

Sister Xi Ren was originally a big maid by Grandmother Jia's side, gentle and sensible, and was highly valued by Grandmother Jia, otherwise she wouldn't have been specifically placed in Jia Baoyu's room.

It was just that she hadn't returned for a long time, so Sister Xi Ren was worried and went to the Rongqing Hall to look for him. Hearing from the maid that he had returned long ago and hadn't returned to his own room, he must have gone to Miss Lin's place.

Grandmother Jia saw Lin Daiyu's face like gold paper, her breath weak, and a pool of blood on the ground, and her face turned pale with fright.

In the morning, Jia Baoyu was called by Jia Zheng to examine his lessons, so Sister Xi Ren had been worried. Later, Jia Baoyu was beaten by Jia Zheng with a disciplinary ruler and taken to the Rongqing Hall by Grandmother Jia.

Grandmother Jia originally wanted to call Sister Yuanyang to ask in detail, but seeing her busy serving Lin Daiyu, she gave up.

Jia Mu felt a bit suspicious. In the past, these two little sweethearts had often bickered, but they had never caused such a big scene. Looking at Zi Juan's hesitant appearance, there must be a reason.

Sister Yuanyang cried and shouted for Xueyan to inform the Old Ancestor immediately and invite the imperial physician to diagnose. This matter could not be hidden.

"If something happens to my Yu'er, see who I will spare. Speak, what exactly happened to cause this."

Grandmother Jia heard that Jia Baoyu had smashed the jade again, and she couldn't care about Lin Daiyu, so she asked Sister Xi Ren if the jade was broken.

She had just arrived at Lin Daiyu's residence when she happened to encounter the two quarreling, which allowed her to hear the beginning and end of the matter clearly. After that, Jia Baoyu smashed the jade, and then Lin Daiyu vomited blood.

Sister Yuanyang only said that Bao Er Ye Jia Baoyu and the Miss quarreled, and he smashed the jade, which angered the Miss to the point of vomiting blood.

Sister Xi Ren showed the Old Ancestor the jade that was wrapped properly, and Grandmother Jia finally let out a sigh of relief, rarely scolding Jia Baoyu.

If she had said it so shamefully, her Miss would have been angered to death immediately.

In front of so many people, how would Sister Yuanyang dare to say that Bao Er Ye Jia Baoyu felt that the Miss favored Cong Sanye Cong, which caused the trouble.

Sister Xi Ren was just past the age of cardamom and already understood human affairs. She was gentle and obedient to Jia Baoyu, just wanting a good result in Jia Baoyu's room in the future.

She knew that Jia Baoyu had cared about Miss Lin the most since childhood. Although they often quarreled and were angry, their friendship was not comparable to other sisters. It was just that they were young and didn't have anything yet.

But looking at the Old Ancestor's intention, she would definitely let Jia Baoyu marry Miss Lin in the future. Everyone in the mansion knew this.

That Miss Lin had a rare beauty in the world, came from a prominent family, and was the Old Ancestor's most beloved granddaughter.

No matter which one, it was something Sister Xi Ren had to look up to. Moreover, Miss Lin was intelligent and shrewd, with a sharp tongue. It was said that when she grew up, even the Bao Er Ye's wife would be far inferior.

Such an outstanding and sharp Miss Lin, if she became the Bao Er Ye's wife in the future, if she knew that she had seduced Jia Baoyu to do those things early on, she didn't know how she would despise her.

So when Sister Xi Ren decided to follow Jia Baoyu's wishes, she had an inexplicable fear of Lin Daiyu.

Today, she heard Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu quarreling outside the door, and Cong Sanye Cong was actually involved, which gave her some thoughts.

When Grandmother Jia asked her, she told everything she heard outside Lin Daiyu's door clearly.

Grandmother Jia's face turned iron-blue after hearing this, and she scolded: "It's that evil obstacle who caused the trouble again. He has such great courage, actually daring to provoke my Yu'er, and like her mother..."

Grandmother Jia finally took care of her face in front of the younger generation and didn't say the ugly words, but everyone present understood the meaning.

Lady Wang looked at Sister Xi Ren. In those years, Lin Daiyu's mother, Jia Min, was not on good terms with Lady Wang before she married. Now Lady Wang naturally didn't like her daughter either.

She also knew the Old Ancestor's thoughts over the past few years. Both Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu were not yet of age, so she wasn't in a hurry for a while, and there would always be a way when the time came.

Now that this matter with Jia Cong had happened, although it surprised her, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing for her.

She said: "The Old Ancestor is worrying too much. They are all children; how could there be such things?"

"I heard that Cong young master is burying his head in reading in the Pure Wisdom Study, almost never stepping out, and it is the sisters who go to his place to visit, so there won't be the things the Old Ancestor is worried about."

"Besides, Cong young master and Jia Baoyu are both Lin young lady's close cousins. It is common for cousins to be close, so it doesn't count as anything."

"This time it was Jia Baoyu who was too reckless. It wasn't a big deal, but he made such a big scene and angered Lin young lady to the point of coughing blood. When I go back, I will definitely scold him severely, and there won't be a next time."

Although Grandmother Jia was shrewd, she was old and used to enjoyment. How could she have the winding intestines of her daughter-in-law? After hearing these words, she mostly believed them.

It was just that the barrier against Jia Cong deepened again.

In Lin Daiyu's room, Sister Yuanyang saw Lin Daiyu struggling to sit up again, so she hurriedly went to get a soft cushion for her to lean on.

"Miss, you coughed blood today and just took the imperial physician's medicine. Why are you getting up instead of lying down peacefully?"

Lin Daiyu's appearance today looked a bit scary, but in fact, she had long had knots in her heart, and then she was angered to the point of heart-blood surging, which caused this.

Now she was still young, and her vitality had not yet been damaged, so her body would not collapse just like this.

It was just that Jia Baoyu's words today were too hurtful and too annoying.

Seeing Jia Baoyu's loss of composure at the Pure Wisdom Study a few days ago, and the scenes at the Glory Celebration Hall today, had already made her somewhat disappointed in Jia Baoyu.

He even said such embarrassing words. She was still a young lady from a prominent family. If outsiders heard this, what face would she have to live?

In the past, they also quarreled and smashed jade.

But this time was very different. Many things were from quantitative change to qualitative change.

Lin Daiyu felt that something between her and Jia Baoyu had been shattered.

Could shattered things be mended again?

Moreover, the cause and effect were entangled, the world was newly opened, and there were external factors subtly influencing her. Since her wise eyes had already recognized the truth, how could she walk into the filth and falsehood again?
