"Ah?" Lin Daiyu opened her cherry lips in surprise, opened her eyes wide, thinking that she had heard it wrong, so she asked, "Brother Chen, what did you say?"

Jia Chen realized that there was an ambiguity in his words and said with a sneer:

"I mean, don't worry, Sister Lin, I will take care of you in the future."

Lin Daiyu's face cleared slightly and she smiled gratefully:

"Brother Chen is so nice to me. Since entering Rong Mansion, I feel that everyone is separated from me. There is only one Baoyu who comes to bother me every day, but it is just to play with me. It is not as caring as Brother Chen is so concerned about me."

"My sister Lin, come with me, I have something important to tell you." Jia Chen looked around and took Lin Daiyu's little hand and pulled her into a secluded pavilion and uninhabited pavilion.

Lin Daiyu was weak and had never run so fast. She was so tired that she was panting and asked with a frown:

"Brother Chen, what's the important thing that needs to be so mysterious?"

Jia Chen said softly:

"Do you know someone wants to poison you?"

Lin Daiyu's eyes were wide open, her face was fading, and she exclaimed in dismay:

"Brother Chen, are you saying true? Who wants to harm me?"

She never expected that in this seemingly rich and harmonious Rongguo Mansion, someone wanted to harm her.

If she had not witnessed the strangeness of her brother and mother's death, she would definitely not believe it.

But now, I can't help but believe it a little.

Jia Chen said with a serious expression:

"It's true. I heard the conversation between Mrs. Liu, the kitchen manager of Rong Mansion, and another woman. Someone instructed Mrs. Liu to poison your meal."

"Is this impossible? If the food is poisonous, then I should have died of poison."

Lin Daiyu still couldn't believe it. After all, this is her grandmother's home. She was just a first-time visitor and was cautious every step of the way, and she didn't dare to take a wrong step. She shouldn't make enemies with anyone. Who would have tried to poison herself so crazy?

Jia Chen analyzed:

"What she gave you should be chronic poison, and it may not be poisoned. Instead, she uses the principle of food restraint to match several ingredients together and react to produce toxins."

Lin Daiyu had never heard of this theory of food restraint. She felt more and more that Jia Chen was mysterious and became more curious about him. She asked in surprise:

“Can ordinary dietary combinations also cause poisoning?”

Jia Chen nodded slightly and said:

"Yes, for example, eating dried plums and mutton together will cause chest tightness, eating dog meat and ginger together will cause abdominal pain, and eating ginseng and radish together will cause abdominal distension."

Lin Daiyu's eyes darkened and she suddenly realized:

"It turns out that improper diet can cause so many diseases. No wonder I have been bloating in my stomach recently. It turns out that after entering Rongfu, I got used to eating ginseng Yangrong Pills before every meal, and I had to drink a bowl of wolfberry and radish soup after the meal. I was originally for the purpose of digestion, but I didn't expect that ginseng and radish were eaten together."

Jia Chen said with some meaning:

"You can't think of it, but it doesn't mean that Sister Liu can't think of it. Even if Sister Liu can't think of it, it doesn't mean that the mastermind behind instructing her to poison you will not think of it."

Although it was a bit confusing, Lin Daiyu, who was smart in ice and snow, was still at a glance. She immediately frowned and asked with a pair of smoky eyebrows and said with a tense expression:

"Brother Chen, you already know who is behind the scenes?"

Jia Chen shook his head with a wry smile:

"In order to avoid alarming the snake, I did not question Sister Liu in person, but I have vaguely guessed that the mastermind behind the scenes is likely to be your second aunt."

When Lin Daiyu heard that the mastermind behind the scenes might be Jia Baoyu's mother, Mrs. Wang, immediately took a breath, her lips stammered a few times, tears filled her eyelashes, and she said with a trembling voice:

"Why did my second aunt harm me?"

Jia Chen analyzed:

"Before your mother got married, she had a bad relationship with your second aunt because your second aunt was jealous of your mother as beautiful than her and was more favored in the Rong Mansion. She always held a grudge. After you came, she took her anger on you and transferred her resentment towards your mother to you.

Also, the fourth generation of the Lin family is very wealthy. Your second aunt wants to kill you, let your Lin family lose their families and take the opportunity to take away all the property of the Lin family."

Lin Daiyu was so angry that she trembled all over and said angrily:

"What a vicious plan! Although I have never liked to speculate on others with malicious intentions, when I first entered Rong Mansion and saw my second aunt, I found that she was buried in the depths of her eyes when she looked at me. Moreover, my mother once told me that she had a bad relationship with her second aunt."

Jia Chen nodded slightly. There were many reasons why Mrs. Wang had always held a grudge against Jia Min.

In the past, when Jia Min was a girl, she attended banquets in various governments. Among all the female family members, Jia Min was always the focus of the audience and occupied the limelight.

Later, the Wang family wanted to marry Jia Min, but she refused.

The marriage between the four major families is an unwritten rule, but Jia Min is an exception.

Seeing Jia Minbing Xi Shi's appearance, she dressed in a charming manner every day. The maids and mothers under her hands were the best food and clothing, and Mrs. Wang was so angry that she was so angry that she was itchy.

Later, Lin Ruhai, who married Jia Min, was the prince of the Marquis, and the most popular Tanhualang, which made Mrs. Wang's jealousy even deeper.

Because Mrs. Wang, as the legitimate daughter of the Wang family, originally wanted to marry the eldest wife of the Gongmen and Hou Mansion, but only married the second wife of the Rong Mansion, which made Mrs. Wang very uncomfortable.

In fact, in this era, my sister-in-law's status was slightly higher than my sister-in-law.

For example, when eating in the Jia Mansion, Wang Xifeng's sister-in-law just sat down to eat, while Wang Xifeng and Li Wan could only serve next to him. Only after the mother-in-law and sister-in-law had eaten, they could eat it themselves.

Such scenes must have appeared quite often in Rongguo Mansion back then, but the parties involved were replaced by Jia Min and Mrs. Wang.

At that time, Jia Min was a sister-in-law and Mrs. Wang was a sister-in-law. Jia Min's status was higher than Mrs. Wang, which undoubtedly made Mrs. Wang hold a grudge against Jia Min even more.

These are all the grudges and entanglements between Mrs. Wang and Jia Min.

Jia Chen's face was solemnly reminded:

"My sister Lin, you can't eat and drink water in Rong Mansion in the future."

Lin Daiyu said with embarrassment:

"But, I live in Rongguo Mansion now. If I don't have meals in the mansion, where can I go?"

Jia Chen smiled gently and said:

"You can come to my house and I'll cook for you."

Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up for a moment, then dimmed again, shook her head in disappointment and said:

"I'm afraid this won't work. I'm a girl who is waiting for the name of the boudoir. For the sake of reputation, I must not leave the main gate and the second gate. I can't even leave the Rongguo Mansion. How can I go to your house for meals?"

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the shackles on women reached their peak. Women who were not married were kept in the boudoir and did not easily see outsiders. Women who were married could not easily see outsiders.

"The Book of Filial Piety: Guangyaodao Chapter" proposes:

"Women must cover their faces when they go out... and sending their brothers does not exceed the threshold. This is the key way for women."

Facing Lin Daiyu's worried and uneasy eyes, Jia Chen thought for a moment, suddenly his eyes lit up and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, sister Lin, I have a way."
