Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Chapter 165 The final struggle

Xiren looked ashen as she knelt before Lady Wang. She was the first one to be found out, and she thought no one knew about it, but she didn't expect Lady Wang to suddenly take action and examine all the maids.

And before that, not a single word of it had leaked out.

After the last maid finished checking his body, Mrs. Wang sat at the head of the table and spoke in a cold tone without any emotion: "I really didn't expect that Baoyu is so young, and you, who are so careless and bold, dared to seduce him to do something that hurts his body! Do you also want Baoyu to follow in his brother's footsteps!"

The other two maids kowtowed and begged. Only Xiren knelt there like a clay sculpture or a wooden carving, saying nothing, as if she had been struck by a blow.

Her situation was different from the other two. She was the only maid whose virginity was found to be impotent.

Although Bihen and Meiren were still virgins, they were exposed by other maids and accused of seducing Baoyu in the bathroom.

"Good! It's very good!" There was no trace of anger in Mrs. Wang's calm voice, but Xiren, who knew her, knew that they were lucky to be able to save their lives.

Mrs. Wang stared at Xiren with eyes as calm as a dry well. "I originally thought that the person most likely to do such a thing in Baoyu's room would be Meiren or Qiu Wen, but I never expected that it would be you!"

Xiren sneered and shot back with half-closed eyes: "I was originally the servant that the old lady gave to Baoyu."

"He is only twelve years old! How could you do that to him! Are you so short of men?" In Mrs. Wang's eyes, Xiren's figure gradually overlapped with that of another person.

She seemed to see again how that man betrayed her and climbed into her bed.

Mrs. Wang's eyes were filled with chills, and she ordered, "Take them all away and send them away."

"Madam, please spare us!"

"Ma'am, we know we were wrong and we won't do it again!"

Bihen and Meiren hugged the old women who came forward tightly, their voices filled with pleading and despair.

But Xiren seemed unusually calm.

She slowly stood up, brushed off the nonexistent dust on her dress, and said, "I was awarded to Master Bao by our ancestors. I am not a servant girl that you can just send away!"

She was also gambling, gambling on the degree of love that Old Lady Jia had for Baoyu, and on the relationship between her and Mrs. Wang as mother-in-law.

Yuanyang walked in at the right time, and her voice broke the deadlock in the room: "Second Madam, the old ancestor invites you over. And Miss Xiren."

Mrs. Wang's anger disappeared instantly. She supported Jin Chuan's hand and stood up. Before leaving, she did not forget to order the maids: "Send these two out quickly!"

No matter how the two cried and wailed, Mrs. Wang did not stop for a moment.

All the parties involved had left, and the old women were escorting Bihen and Meiren towards the backyard.

Yingchun pushed Daiyu's arm and asked in a low voice, "Why aren't you surprised at all? Did you know this a long time ago?"

"Yes, I have heard about Bihen and Baoyu's mischief in the purification room a long time ago, but I didn't expect that Bihen still didn't succeed." Daiyu's tone was calm with a hint of appreciation, "But Xiren, her reaction surprised me a little. I always thought she was a gentle person, and she would always seek stability and compromise when encountering things. I didn't expect that she would dare to confront Mrs. Wang head-on this time."

"Let's go! Let's go and take a look!" Yingchun dragged Daiyu excitedly and walked towards the back of the main house. "I also want to see how the old ancestor will support Xiren!"

"How do you know that the old ancestor will support Xiren?"

"Is it not possible?" Yingchun was stunned for a moment and looked at Daiyu in confusion, "Then why did Yuanyang come so timely?"

Daiyu did not answer, but pulled Yingchun and signaled her to look inside the house.

At this time, Lady Jia had not yet appeared. There were only Lady Wang, Yuanyang and Xiren in the flower hall, and a group of old women and maids, all standing on both sides or waiting by the door.

When Mrs. Wang saw that Grandmother Jia had not appeared, she understood about half of the situation. She smiled faintly and said, "I've made a note of what happened today."

Yuanyang's heart tightened, and she had a bad feeling. But thinking of the love her ancestors showed her, she continued to smile and stood quietly aside.

Mrs. Wang no longer paid attention to Yuanyang and sat down on the right side. She took the tea handed to her by the maid and sipped it slowly.

The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, with only the ticking of the clock. Suddenly, the long hand pointed to 12 o'clock, and the clock rang, echoing throughout the hall.

The three of them were like old monks in meditation, unmoved, until Grandmother Jia slowly walked out from the inner room. Yuanyang hurried forward and helped Grandmother Jia sit on the seat of honor.

Grandmother Jia glanced at Lady Wang, then her eyes stayed on Xiren, and her voice was a little stern: "Why do you suddenly want to examine the maids and even cordon off Baoyu's room? If someone doesn't know, they would think that our house is going to be confiscated!"

Mrs. Wang did not dare to mention the disturbance in the front yard, and could only answer vaguely: "There are rumors that Baoyu has already been a virgin, so I decided to check it out. I didn't expect that... Baoyu is still a child! I seduced him and he lost his virility at such a young age! What should I do? I have already lost Zhu'er, what if..."

Grandmother Jia frowned and interrupted Mrs. Wang in time: "Don't say anything unlucky anymore!"

Xiren quickly said, "Madam said that I seduced the Second Master, but I absolutely cannot admit it. I grew up with the old ancestor and was taught by the nanny. Later, the old ancestor gave me to the Second Master, and I served him wholeheartedly and cared for him.

One time when he was taking a nap, Erye wet his pants. At that time, I thought that Erye had become wise, and instead of letting him go out to look for those questionable people, it would be better to let me take over. "

When she said this, Xiren's face turned red, and she was obviously still a little shy.

Madam Wang sneered and said sarcastically, "You are just trying to shirk responsibility by saying so much. Since you have discovered such a thing, why don't you report it to me first?"

Xiren was a little anxious, wondering why Baoyu hadn't come back to look for her yet. But she didn't show it on her face, and she said shyly, "Second Master...he told me not to tell anyone..."

"What nonsense!" Grandmother Jia shouted, "He is young and ignorant, and you are also ignorant? I asked you to persuade him, but you joined him in his nonsense!"

"And you!" Jia's mother turned to Mrs. Wang again, "Do you believe everything others say? If someone said that there were things that could lead to rebellion hidden in my storehouse, would you, the mistress of the house, also search it?"

Mrs. Wang was scolded by Lady Jia and felt very upset, unable to calm down.

She defended herself, "I was just worried because I was thinking about Zhu'er... I think it's better to drive out a maid who indulges her master's mischief and let her family come to take her away."
