After finishing the matter, Jia Mu also felt tired and waved everyone to leave. She also went back to the inner room to rest with the support of Yuanyang.

After getting on the heated kang, Jia Mu leaned inward on a soft pillow with blooming flowers, a brocade quilt draped over her body, and asked Yuanyang to help her massage her shoulders.

Yuanyang pinched the old lady's shoulders with her fingers, but she was thinking about what she just heard in the flower hall. She was Jia Mu's confidant, so she would naturally consider the issue from the old lady's perspective, and was very angry at Lin Yun for bullying Baoyu.

It's dissatisfaction.

But what Lin Yun said that men should learn to protect their sisters instead of hiding under the wings of others for the rest of their lives was something she agreed with from the bottom of her heart.

But she just thought about this recognition in her heart, but didn't dare to express it.

Just when Yuanyang was thinking about something on his mind, Jia Mu suddenly asked: "Yuanyang, why do you think Brother Yun wants to play tricks on Baoyu?"

Yuanyang felt a sudden change in her heart when she heard this. From what she meant, the old lady was extremely dissatisfied with the young nephew of her aunt's family.

After thinking for a while, Yuanyang said cautiously: "It must be the young nephew of my aunt's family who got angry outside, so he got angry with Mr. Bao."

Jia Mu said coldly: "He can even tolerate the servants outside, but he can't tolerate Baoyu?"

Yuanyang: "Perhaps he feels that it is beneath his status to argue with the servants outside."

Jia Mu nodded slightly, thinking she agreed with Yuanyang's words.

Then, the old lady added: "It stands to reason that a smart guy like him wouldn't know that bullying Baoyu would annoy me, but he still did it, which shows that he doesn't care about what I, an old woman, think of him."

As soon as Yuanyang heard this, he immediately broke into a cold sweat. Even the old lady didn't care. What on earth did the young nephew think?

Jia Mu sighed again, "Oh! Uncle Lin has a successor."

Yuanyang was confused after hearing this. The old lady was still angry with the young nephew at first, but why was she praising him again later?

Jia Mu then said: "The Lai brothers are becoming more and more wanton. Even my aunt dare not look down on them. What are they trying to do?"

Yuanyang hurriedly said: "Maybe Mr. Lai just wants to give the young nephew a slap."

"You think too simply. If Brother Yun fights outside the house like he did to Lai Xi, what will the result be like?"

Yuanyang doesn't dare to answer the conversation now. If we really make such a fuss, my aunt will not be able to go back home again in the future."

Jia Zi said coldly: "You can serve a bowl of rice to Grandma Lai later."

"Slave, please respect your order."

Yuanyang responded softly, but he was shocked in his heart. Is the old lady venting all the anger Baoyu suffered on the Lai brothers?

Mother Jia was actually angrier than Yuanyang imagined. From Lin Yun's attitude today, she could feel that brother's contempt for Baoyu, which she would never tolerate.

But she couldn't understand why Brother Yun, who had been acting cute in front of her before, changed his face in the blink of an eye. Could it be that he had climbed up to the heights of Prince Xuan, so he despised the Jia family?

It stands to reason that the heir chosen by Uncle Lin should not be so short-sighted, so why did he do this?

The more the old lady thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and the more she hated the Lai brothers. If the two brothers hadn't been doing things behind her back, there wouldn't have been so many bad things to bother her.

…

In Ningguo Mansion, in the small courtyard where Lai Sheng lived, the servant named Li Cheng was reporting to Lai Sheng, who was sitting on the heated kang: "Grandpa Lai, I blocked that guy outside the door and stood there for more than half a day.

At that time, he didn't even dare to fart. If Master Lian hadn't rushed over, I would have made him stand there until dark."

Lai Sheng: "He just keeps standing like that?"

Li Cheng: "Isn't that right? There are dozens of servants coming in and out of the house, and he doesn't dare to let people in to help him deliver messages."

Lai Sheng raised his hand and touched his chin, then asked: "Did he instigate the second master to punish the two servants guarding the door?"

"No, he didn't say any nonsense and followed Mr. Lian directly into the house."

"Oh, is that boy going to change his gender?"

Li Cheng: "Based on my guess, he has the support of Mr. Lin in Yangzhou, so he dares to act recklessly. But in our house, he is not even a shit, how can he dare to act wild here."

"That makes sense."

As soon as Lai Sheng finished speaking, his brother Lai Da walked in hurriedly.

Lai Sheng quickly stood up to greet him, "Brother, why are you here?"

Lai D first drove all the boys and servants out of the house, and then asked Lai Sheng: "Did you instigate someone to lock the young nephew of my aunt's family outside the west corner door?"

"My little brother asked someone to do it. That kid relied on Uncle Lin's influence and became very arrogant. If I didn't teach him a lesson, he thought I was easy to bully."

Lai Da said anxiously: "You are in big trouble, do you know that?"

Lai Sheng said with a relaxed expression: "I just blocked him outside the door for half an hour. What does this little thing mean? Can he still go to the old lady to sue me?"

Lai Da: "He didn't know how to complain, but he went to Bi Sha Chu and bullied Mr. Bao so much."

"What?"

Lai Sheng stared at his brother with wide eyes, and then said happily: "He is looking for death. No one in the family knows that Second Master Bao is the lifeblood of the old lady."

Lai Da said coldly: "Do you think he is a fool? If he is really that stupid, will he be chosen as the successor by Uncle Lin?"

Lai Sheng said blankly: "Brother, what do you mean~"

Lai Da: "He angered the old lady by bullying Baoyu. Who do you think the old lady will blame for this in the end?"

"Of course~"

When Lai Sheng said this, he suddenly stopped talking. Immediately, a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, and soon, the door was pushed open from the outside.

Lai Sheng looked up and saw Grandma Lai walking in with a cane and the support of a little maid, followed by several young men carrying sticks.

Before Lai Da and Lai Sheng could speak, they heard Aunt Lai order in a cold voice: "Drag these two evildoers out and beat them thirty times."

Lai Dah said anxiously: "Mother, this matter has nothing to do with my son."

Aunt Lai ordered without any explanation: "Drag them all out and beat them hard."

…

After coming out of the flower hall of Rongqing Hall, Wang Xifeng was called by Mrs. Wang to give him a few words of reprimand. Apparently she was very dissatisfied with her being present but failing to protect Baoyu.

Wang Xifeng was also aggrieved. She had tried her best to help Baoyu speak up, but Brother Yun was too capable. What she could do, she couldn't let the servants drive him out of the house.

After being beaten by Mrs. Wang, she didn't explain much. Anyway, she just admitted her mistake.
