Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Chapter 123: Being Jealous of Daiyu

The three quietly landed on the back street of Jia's mansion. Lin Ji led them around and finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous small courtyard. The three hid in the shadows by the wall, and Lin Ji whispered, "This is Jia Chang's home."

Daiyu easily jumped onto the top of the wall. Looking down, she saw a small courtyard with only five rooms in total, including the side rooms.

The whole yard was silent, with only two breathing sounds coming from the east wing. It was obviously not Jia Chang they were looking for, and there was no one else in the yard.

Lin Ji followed closely behind Daiyu and obviously heard the two voices, which were obviously not Jia Chang's.

A thought flashed through his mind quickly, and he thought of a possibility: "Girl, it seems that Jia Chang should go to their old place to get together to gamble and drink."

Daiyu jumped down the wall, walked to the window in two steps, and took out a bean-sized drug from her sleeve. With a flash of fire, the drug turned into a wisp of light smoke and floated in through the gap in the window.

Lin Ji stood in the corner watching, while Lan Rui accompanied Daiyu into Jia Chang's room.

Compared with Jia Baoyu's luxury, the furnishings in Jia Chang's room are not even as good as those of Jia Baoyu's maids. But poverty cannot be a reason for Jia Chang to do evil, Daiyu thought coldly in her heart.

She searched the room carefully and pointed out several possible places where the money might be hidden. Lan Rui followed her instructions and searched for it. Sure enough, she found a lot of silver and money in these places, which added up to more than two hundred taels.

Lan Rui spread out the silver in front of Daiyu, but Daiyu just glanced at it and said to Lan Rui, "Use this money to buy clothes!"

When Lan Rui heard Daiyu's words, she smiled instantly, but then her face dimmed again: "Miss, if I take this money back, they will definitely guess it. If I go out with the girls at night, they will beat me up together!"

Daiyu smiled meaningfully, but it was dark in the room and Lan Rui could not see clearly.

"Then you should spend more time to become stronger, so that all of them combined will not be your match. That way, you won't have to be afraid of them anymore!"

Lan Rui's eyes suddenly lit up: "Girl, you are right!"

Daiyu couldn't help but smile as she listened to Lan Rui's fighting tone. Lan Rui's wholehearted trust in Daiyu made her feel very happy.

Seeing the two of them coming out of the house, Lingji walked up and asked, "Girls, where should we go next?"

"Go where they gamble."

After receiving the order, Lin Ji immediately jumped onto the roof, identified the direction, and "flew" in one direction with Daiyu and Lan Rui.

The three of them were like three ghosts, floating and running on the roof, and their strange movements made them look even more terrifying.

In the dead of night, everything was silent, except for one place where the lights were on, and faint voices of people shouting could be heard. However, this was also because Daiyu and the other two had strong internal strength, so they could clearly hear the noise there.

The three of them landed on the roof silently. Just by listening to the sound, they could tell that there were at least six people gathered below.

Lin Ji whispered, "This place was told to me by those servants who often follow Honglian."

“Have they come to play?”

"Where can I get that kind of money?" Lin Ji responded in a low voice. In fact, such a voice was already very abrupt at night, but the shouting below was too loud, drowning out the sound of their voices.

Lan Rui also chimed in, "Yes, young lady. All of us who were bought by you have suffered. How could we have the spare money to gamble?"

Daiyu snorted coldly, pointed at the people below and said, "Those people below, their ancestors were not rich and powerful before they followed Emperor Taizu. Look at them now, what have they become?"

"Yes..." Lin Ji and Lan Rui listened to Daiyu's words and nodded in agreement. They planned to give those servants a good beating after they returned, especially those servants who often followed Honglian.

This time, Daiyu picked up a large piece of incense, knocked down everyone in the room, and then jumped off the roof with Lin Ji and Lan Rui.

The three of them held their breath and walked into the only house in the yard.

The room was spacious, with more than ten people lying in a disorderly manner on the big kang, and mahjong and sieves scattered on the table. Some people were lying on the table, while others were hugging each other, sleeping soundly.

Daiyu was looking at them in wonder, but Lingji quickly stood in front of her and said, "Miss, these people are behaving improperly and are a disgrace to the eyes. You'd better stop looking at them!"

Daiyu curled her lips secretly, and did not argue with Lingji, but asked calmly: "Is Jia Ling among them?"

Lingji carefully identified it and replied, "Yes!"

"Okay!" Daiyu smiled with satisfaction. She turned and walked out of the room, not forgetting to instruct Lingji, "Search all of them and don't leave them a penny. Then pour all the wine on the table on Jia Ling, and we'll go to his house now."

Her plan was simple. She just wanted to teach Jia Chang and Jia Ling a lesson and did not intend to alert them.

However, the Jia family members have only received New Year gifts, and they have no shortage of money to spend, so they probably won’t spend again in the short term.

Daiyu did this to stimulate them to take action again or to contact the mastermind behind it.

Not long after, Lin Ji was carrying a drunken young man like he was carrying a chicken, while Lan Rui was carrying a bag with a look of disgust on her face.

"Girl, this money smells too strong!" Lan Rui complained in a low voice.

Daiyu covered her mouth and laughed secretly. She had just heard the sound of shoes falling to the ground. At that time, she wondered if Lin Ji had even checked inside his shoes.

It seems that they have gained a lot.

After laughing, she comforted Lan Rui: "It's okay, take this money back and let the maids wash it, and give it to them as a reward."

Lan Rui was happy for only three seconds before she became depressed again: "But I can't have this handkerchief anymore."

Daiyu's tone was filled with a hint of doting: "Then give them all together. If you are short of handkerchiefs, go to my room and get half a piece of material. It will be just right for making a batch of new handkerchiefs for the spring."

"Girl is the best!" The depression on Lan Rui's face disappeared and she became happy again.

Lin Ji also laughed foolishly, totally unaware of how difficult it would be to please his wife in the future.

Daiyu fetched a bucket of water from the kitchen, put out half of the fire on the kang, and left the door of the room ajar before leaving with Lin Ji and Lan Rui.

Jia Ling's home was not far from Jia Chang's home, and the three of them searched Jia Ling's house as usual. Daiyu decided to give the silver she got this time to Lin Ji and his group of men.

Lan Rui did not show any objection to her arrangement. Instead, she felt that Daiyu was right to do so.

After all, in Lan Rui's heart, her own girl's status even exceeds that of Lin Ji.

This also made Lin Ji feel jealous of Daiyu in the days to come.
