Chapter 1267: Grandmother Jia

Rongguo Mansion, the Jia family.

The servants had been blowing in the wind at the harbor for half a day, only returning in the afternoon.

But when Wang Xifeng learned that they hadn't picked up Lin Daiyu, she immediately widened her eyes: "You didn't pick up the Lin young lady? Then where is your Second Master Lian? Where has he gone!"

One must know, picking up Lin Daiyu to enter the capital was entrusted to Jia Lian to handle, but now Lin Daiyu was missing, and Jia Lian hadn't returned either; so where had these people run off to?

"Grandmother, we didn't see Second Master Lian! We waited bitterly all day, and didn't see a single ship that was the Lin family's!"

Explaining to Wang Xifeng, the servants also became awkward.

"What?"

Speaking with anger, Wang Xifeng immediately turned and left, heading toward the Rongxi Hall.

One must know, Grandmother Jia, upon learning that Lin Daiyu was entering the capital today, had specifically let the people in the household wait at the Rongxi Hall, but after a whole day, they hadn't seen a single person, and everyone had long been harboring resentment.

"Old Ancestor, Madam, Aunt..."

Walking into the Rongxi Hall, seeing everyone there, Wang Xifeng greeted them.

"Phoenix Chili, how did you do things? Where is my good granddaughter! Why haven't I seen her yet!"

Looking at Wang Xifeng with anger, Grandmother Jia also became serious.

Because she had waited bitterly for a whole day today, and what was the result? It was one thing that Lin Daiyu was missing, but Wang Xifeng didn't even have any news; was she fooling her old lady?

"Old Ancestor, granddaughter-in-law sent people to the harbor early this morning, but we didn't see the Lin family's ship!"

Speaking to the Grandmother Jia before her, Wang Xifeng hurriedly explained.

"What? Then where is my Yu'er? Where has she gone!"

Looking at Wang Xifeng in shock, Grandmother Jia couldn't help but stand up, her eyes full of anger.

"Old Ancestor, granddaughter-in-law doesn't know either!"

Looking at Grandmother Jia awkwardly, Wang Xifeng now had a headache; because Lin Daiyu was missing, and Jia Lian was missing too; what on earth was going on!

And just as everyone was feeling that something was wrong, a servant walked in and said: "Second Master Lian has returned!"

"Tell Jia Lian to roll over here immediately!"

Speaking with anger, Grandmother Jia was already burning with rage.

Originally, she had been feeling irritable because of Jia Jue entering the capital and being granted an official position, and Jia Zheng had beaten her precious grandson 'Big-Face Bao' until his buttocks were a bloody mess yesterday; truly, nothing was going well.

She had wanted her good granddaughter to enter the capital so she could dote on her, but what was the result? Jia Lian went to pick her up, he returned himself, but the granddaughter was missing!

"Old Ancestor, do you have something to find me for?"

Arriving at the Rongxi Hall, the smell of alcohol on Jia Lian hadn't fully dissipated yet!

"Lian-ge'er, I let you go pick up Daiyu, why have you returned alone!"

Looking at Jia Lian with a gloomy face, Grandmother Jia was already very angry.

"Ah? Hasn't Cousin Lin entered the mansion yet?"

Looking at everyone in astonishment, Jia Lian was also bewildered.

He had originally entered the capital a day early, but yesterday he met Jia Rong and the others, so he just drank for the whole night. He had intended to return in the afternoon, just when Cousin Lin arrived, but as a result, he returned, but Lin Daiyu was missing!

"Are you asking me that?"

Looking at Jia Lian with anger, Grandmother Jia couldn't help but scold him.

"Old Ancestor, grandson wouldn't dare!"

Hearing Grandmother Jia's words, Jia Lian hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Go find her, find her for me! If I don't see my Yu'er today, I will tell your father to break your legs!"

Looking at Jia Lian with anger, Grandmother Jia couldn't help but scold him.

"Yes, Old Ancestor, grandson will go find her right now!"

Watching Grandmother Jia in such a rage, Jia Lian also knew he was in for it, so he hurriedly ran out of the Rongxi Hall.

And watching Jia Lian leave, Wang Xifeng stepped forward: "Old Ancestor, do not be angry. Perhaps the ship encountered some trouble and the journey was delayed!"

Hearing Wang Xifeng's words, Grandmother Jia turned her head: "They are all a bunch of things that don't save me worry!"

"By the way, Old Ancestor, I heard that the mother of the Earl of Loyalty and Valor, Lady Liu, also entered the capital today!"

Speaking to Grandmother Jia, Wang Xifeng brought up this matter.

Looking at Wang Xifeng beside her, Grandmother Jia's heart stirred: "Since we are all clansmen, why not send an invitation and have them enter for a chat? It just so happens that I also miss the elders from Jin Ling quite a bit."

Hearing Grandmother Jia's words, Lady Wang below frowned.

Because she had long heard from Wang Ziteng that Jia Jue absolutely had no good feelings for their family, and if he were to grow powerful in the military, then the former students and old friends of the Jia family might not necessarily give the Rongguo Mansion face anymore! Thinking of this, Lady Wang's expression became gloomy, and the Buddhist beads in her hand turned rapidly, as if she were calculating something.

But looking at the appearance of Grandmother Jia and Lady Wang, Lady Xing watched her nose and heart; although she was a bit foolish and stubborn, and liked to withhold money, she was definitely not someone without a brain.

Jia Jue had been in the capital for so long, and Grandmother Jia had never spoken of inviting him to the Rongguo Mansion; she probably feared being slapped in the face. After all, because of what Lady Wang did, after the Jin Ling Jia family entered the capital and were granted official positions, not carrying knives to the door was already giving the "relatives" face.

Now that she knew Jia Jue's mother had entered the capital, she only now knew to find a soft persimmon to build a relationship; she really is smart!

However, Lady Xing wouldn't say these things, because she was just a decoration in the entire Rongguo Mansion; not only was her position awkward, but because of her humble background, she was often looked down upon by Lady Wang.

But today, being able to see a show, Lady Xing couldn't help but mock; because when Jia Jue comes to the Rongguo Mansion, there will probably be a good show to watch!

Just as Jia Lian was searching the whole city for Lin Daiyu, she was currently sitting in the Mansion of the Earl of Loyalty and Valor, chatting with Lady Jia Liu while holding hands.

"You child, you are the same. Knowing we are relatives, why didn't you say so earlier? It made Yu'er not understand our identities and cry for nothing for so long!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng before her, Lady Jia Liu scolded him.

Looking at his mother with a twitching mouth, Zhang Cheng cupped his hands: "Mother, didn't I see that Cousin Lin had no one to pick her up, so I brought her back to the mansion? Please don't blame me!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Lady Jia Liu turned her head: "In the past, when I was granted the title of Lady of Honor, her mother also came to send gifts, and I chatted with her for a long time. Who would have thought that after such a short time, we would be separated by heaven and earth. My poor daughter!"

Hugging Lin Daiyu, Lady Jia Liu couldn't help but say: "How can you be so thin? This journey must have been hard for you!"

"Aunt, I am fine, it's just that Brother was so fierce today..."

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Lin Daiyu saw that Lady Jia Liu liked her so much, and her eyes immediately rolled.

This morning, she had been terrified for so long; now that she saw she had a backer, how could she not vent her anger!

"Hmm?"

Widening his eyes, Zhang Cheng looked at Lin Daiyu like an old man on the subway, as if to say, was I fierce today?

"He scared my maid, saying that if she didn't take good care of me, he would break her legs..."

Speaking intermittently, Lin Daiyu, knowing that her mother had a relationship with Lady Jia Liu, was now acting like a drama queen.

"Jue-ge'er, how long have you been in Liaodong, and how have you become so cruel, wanting to break a maid's legs..."

Looking at the Zhang Cheng before her, Lady Jia Liu couldn't help but become serious.

"Mother, I..."

Speaking to Lady Jia Liu, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but explain, hurriedly pointing to Jia Wei beside him: "This is what he said, Mother!"

"Uncle, how can you slander my innocence for no reason!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in shock, Jia Wei hadn't expected that his uncle would push the blame onto him when encountering trouble, and hurriedly retorted.

"Wei-ge'er, you are my good nephew! Come, help Uncle explain!"

Looking at Jia Wei, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but speak.

"Uncle, for this kind of thing, nephew is powerless to help. You should just 'take care of yourself'!"

Walking to the side behind Lady Jia Liu and Mother Lady Jia Wu, Wei-ge'er immediately turned his head.

Looking at Wei-ge'er's appearance, Zhang Cheng immediately doubted: "Did I say that?"

"Still playing dumb, are you! Come, apologize to your sister!"

Speaking to the Zhang Cheng before her, Lady Jia Liu became serious.

"Cousin Lin, Brother apologizes to you!"

Clenching his fists, Zhang Cheng looked at Lin Daiyu with a face full of "smiles".

"Brother, no need for formalities. Sister forgives you!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with a smile, Lin Daiyu blinked her eyes, revealing a light laugh.
