Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 326: A Man is About to Die (Surgery Leave Request Chapter)

Grandmother Jia was stunned for a long time before she came back and said, "That's why I said that the matter of Songjiang cloth should be handled by Wang and not by Xue.

"The remaining members of the Xue family now all try to use tricks to gain advantage over the opponent, and they dare not kill or take ruthless actions. They no longer have the courage to protect themselves.

"Your uncles went to the Xue family and made a scene, but they were just forcing the Xue family to turn against them and stick with the Wang family."

Daiyu was stunned: "Aren't the Xue family and the Wang family naturally together?"

"No family is naturally together with any other family." Grandmother Jia smiled, "Otherwise, how could Baochai say that there is no old grudge at all?"

Daiyu suddenly came to her senses and looked at Grandmother Jia: "Grandmother, do you want to pull the Xue family out of the Wang family's control?"

Grandmother Jia smiled and nodded: "The Wang family wanted to harm me, but let the Xue family be the villain, they hid well behind the scenes.

"He must have thought that if I fell, your uncles' tempers would keep them from finding out. If they did, they would definitely turn against the Xue family.

"No matter how stupid the Xue family is, they can't admit the crime now. They have to put all the blame on our family. Otherwise, they will find someone close to Sister Yuanyang and blame them.

"In this way, the Wang family can use this incident to tie the Xue family firmly to their side.

"How can such a good thing happen? With my obedient granddaughter here, I won't fall down, and I won't let your uncles quarrel with the Xue family.

“Not only that, I will also call the two girls from the Xue family, comfort them, and tell them that the Wang family has abandoned the Northern King and joined the same boat with the Zhongshun King.

"Given Baochai's personality, she would have thought that it was not Prince Zhongshun who had taken a fancy to her; it was her good uncle Wang Ziteng who had used her as a token of his allegiance to Prince Zhongshun!"

Grandmother Jia is full of confidence.

Daiyu thought for a long time before she said softly, "But the Northern King is dead, so it's only natural for Wang Ziteng to make peace with the Zhongshun King. The Xue family may not be disgusted by this."

Grandmother Jia smiled and patted her hands: "The Xue family may not be happy, but Baochai will definitely be unhappy. What's more, this girl Qin who has come now is young and passionate, and she is the most unwilling to give in."

When it comes to guessing people's hearts, it turns out that only the experienced ones are more ruthless.

Daiyu nodded slowly, and could not help but smile and asked Grandmother Jia: "I think Grandmother has a plan in mind. I'm afraid Jia, Wang, Shi, and Xue have all been assigned, right?

"What should I do? May I ask for your instructions, ancestor?"

Grandmother Jia laughed, hugged her in her arms, rubbed her pretty face lovingly, and then said softly:

“When I forged the letter earlier, I didn’t expect that the Northern King would be in danger of death, nor did I expect that the Ning Mansion’s direct lineage would be completely wiped out.

"I was still thinking about taking advantage of the situation and kicking the Wang family out of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes camp.

“But now, it can only end up hurting others and not benefiting yourself.

"The Shi family was eager to hire Yun, and I kept silent because I wanted to get Yun away from her unvirtuous aunt..."

When Grandmother Jia said this, she paused, caressed Daiyu's green hair lovingly, and said softly, "Don't worry about these messy things.

"Inside, I'll be there to support you. Outside, there are a bunch of men and the queen. We'll take care of it.

"Now that you have a good place to go, you should be nice to the Queen Mother.

"A new emperor appoints new ministers. The four kings and eight dukes will not be able to enjoy glory for many more years.

"The downfall of the Four Families is inevitable. Even if I try my best and sacrifice my children and grandchildren, I can't save them.

"Grandma can't give you anything anymore. Now I just hope that I can sort out these things at home and not burden you too much. That's all I can do."

Daiyu stared at Grandmother Jia in a daze.

Is this still her grandmother who was strong-willed and refused to admit defeat all her life?

Grandmother Jia laughed at herself and said, "When a man is about to die, his words are good.

"You think I didn't hear you?

“I don’t have long to live.

"You have to be in good spirits and make good arrangements for your children and grandchildren. It won't be too late to leave then."
