Chapter 241: The Counterattack
"Yes, sir, in order to confirm whether she is Miss Lin, we left one person behind." The servant said to Xue Pan flatteringly.
"Okay, okay, okay! Good boy, if you do this well, how about I reward you with a beautiful wife?"
The young servant rubbed his hands together, feeling inexplicably excited.
"Thank you very much, sir! I will do this for you even if it costs me my life!"
Xue Pan patted the servant's shoulder happily, "By the way, did you see the eagle?"
The servant shook his head and said, "Master, we didn't see any eagles."
The wound on Xue Pan's face seemed to wriggle with anger. He said grimly,
"If it was really the Lin family's eagle that hurt me, then the Lin family framed me. I will never let this matter go."
“This matter is not over yet.”
Maybe, hehe, Xue Pan thought of something good and just laughed to himself.
When night fell, another servant came back.
He confirmed, "Master, I saw the sedan chair carrying Miss Lin and others back."
"And the guards who followed us are the ones who faced us."
"Okay," Xue Pan slapped his thigh.
"It's my turn to be lucky in love."
"The more I look at this wound, the more beautiful it becomes. Doesn't it look like a peach blossom?"
"Hahaha!"
"Send someone to look for the young lady and the lady and tell them that I found the person I saved."
……
At the Lin family, Lin Daiyu, Qingwen and others spent the whole day wandering around.
He returned home just as night fell.
At first glance, Eagle Haotian was still strolling around the yard bored.
Lin Daiyu stepped forward and hugged it, "You are getting bolder and bolder!"
"Stretch your legs out."
"Give me the stuff!"
The eagle Haotian raised his claws helplessly. There was a thin bamboo tube as thick as a brush tied to the base of each claw.
It is covered with black and gray feathers and cannot be seen without careful observation.
Lin Daiyu reached out and took the one on her right paw, opened the bamboo tube, and found a letter inside.
The ones on the left are Lin Ruhai and Yongan, Lin Daiyu did not move.
Lin Daiyu opened the letter and just a few words made her overjoyed.
"In the northwest, people have always been tough since ancient times, and women are no less brave than men.
They ride their horses and whip the horses, galloping across the grassland; they roll up their sleeves and plow the fields, working hard to fertilize the soil.
The distinction between men and women here is different from that in the south of the Yangtze River. Women can swing axes like the wind and raise hoes like rain. They fight side by side with men and build homes together.
During festivals, women dressed in military uniforms and competed with men in archery and wrestling. They were as generous as men, drank wine as easily as water, and laughed loudly.
"Hahaha,"
Lin Daiyu laughed as she read. Last time she wrote a letter, she asked about the livelihood of girls in the northwest. This time, it was like a composition assignment, which was so funny.
Lin Daiyu could imagine the scene of her cousin Lin frowning and writing.
I especially know his rules, such as no women can be within a certain distance of him.
Hahaha……
Daiyu was just laughing when she heard Jia Min's angry voice.
"Why are you so silly and happy? You're still in the mood to be happy when you come back so late. I'm so worried."
Jia Min waited for a long time but didn't see her daughter come into the house, so she had to come out and scold her.
This troublesome girl!
"You're asking me what's wrong? What have you been doing? Why did you come back so late?"
"Whose girl has such long legs?" Jia Min couldn't help but get angry.
The smile on Lin Daiyu's lips had not yet faded, but she was scolded as soon as she entered the door. It was obvious that she was angry!
Lin Daiyu looked around and saw Banxia standing next to her watching the fun.
"Banxia, did you make your mother angry?"
Banxia quickly shook her head and secretly pointed at the eagle.
Lin Daiyu understood, put away the smile on her face, stepped forward and grabbed Jia Min's clothes.
"Don't be angry, Mom! Did the eagle steal the food?"
"I know you are worried about me. I am not your daughter playing around. Am I doing something important?"
Lin Daiyu didn't think the eagle could do anything to Jia Min, and probably still worried about herself, so she continued to explain to Jia Min,
"Mom, I want to open my own shop. Today I took people to the street to check the market and popular styles."
Jia Min was stunned and even more confused. "You are just kidding. It would be better if there is a manager to run the shop."
"What kind of big deal is this? Can an eagle hurt someone if I do something big?"
Jia Min continued to be angry.
Daiyu was so surprised when she heard this that her voice became louder. "What? The Xue family came to complain because the eagle hurt someone?"
Seeing that Daiyu still seemed unconcerned, Jia Min became anxious and hurriedly pulled her into the house, "Come with me!"
This kid is so careless and has such a loud voice. What should I do if people find out?
Daiyu followed obediently and said to Qingwen, "Qingwen, think about the results of today's investigation. We will discuss countermeasures later."
Qingwen accepted the order, and Daiyu asked them to rest, "You are tired too, there is no need to serve you."
Jia Min looked at Qingwen with complicated eyes and thought to herself: This girl is so pretty, I'm afraid I'll have to worry a lot when she's married off in the future.
After the two entered the house, Jia Min's maid immediately handed over a hot towel, "Miss, it's very cold outside, please wipe your face."
Daiyu took the hot handkerchief and wiped her face gently. Seeing Jia Min's serious expression, she could not help asking:
"Mom, why are you so cold to me? What did the Xue family say?"
Seeing that Daiyu had packed up, Jia Min frowned and said, "It wasn't the Xue family, it was Baoyu who said that."
"The Xue family may not know yet."
"But it's hard to hide this matter after all."
"But if it's really like what Baoyu said, and his face is disfigured, I have to apologize in person and pay him money, but I don't know if he's willing to do that."
Lin Daiyu felt a little anxious when she heard Jia Min's self-blaming words.
"Mom, this is not right. You are being disloyal. You are convicting us based on one side of the story."
Jia Min felt that her daughter was just being stubborn, so she told her everything Jia Baoyu had said.
When Lin Daiyu heard this, she was shocked: "Oh, this is a case of turning the tables and blaming me!"
There is no need to worry about hurting your own flesh if you use too much force.
Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu said to Jia Min solemnly,
"Mom! That's not the case at all. He, Xue, was trying to blackmail someone, but he failed to rob someone and got hurt."
"We are the victims. You have to listen to me on this matter. We cannot apologize."
"If we apologize, and that fool Xue wants us to give Qingwen to him, what should we do?"
"What should we do if they tell us to kill the eagle?"
At this point, Lin Daiyu softened her tone and continued,
“Besides, you only think about the Xue family. Why don’t you think that it’s a good thing that he was injured. If he really bullied my girl,
"What do we do? Can we kill him?"
Lin Daiyu's words were like heavy hammers, striking Jia Min's heart.
She was at a loss, "What should I do? I won't let you go out, but you have to go out."
"I cause trouble when I go out."
"Besides, we can't pretend we don't know! Baoyu knows the eagle is yours."
"Paper cannot contain fire!"
Jia Min's self-blame made her feel uneasy.
"Otherwise, talk to your father and see what to do?"
"Talk to the Xue family, pay some money and settle the matter, and we won't meet again in the future."
Regarding the issue of going out, the conflict between him and Jia Min is not just between two generations, but a generation gap of hundreds or even thousands of years.
Lin Daiyu always remembered that she was in a book, and the girls in the book had hidden deep enough.
After being locked up in the Grand View Garden for so many years, he was eventually blown away by the strong wind outside.
It would be even more miserable if the family was destroyed and the people in hiding were exposed.
In order to avoid conflicts over this matter in the future, I need to explain it clearly to Jia Min.
"Mom! According to what you said, I will not be able to meet so many people!"
"Mother, your daughter is such a dazzling person. If someone wants to provoke me, I will hide. If someone provokes me, I will hide again."
"If someone provokes me, I will fight back and I will have to hide even more."
"Then I'll just crawl into the hole."
