Chapter 358 Dream of Red Mansions - Jia Yingchun 29

Jia Lang thinks that the reason why Shi Xiangyun had such a miserable end in her previous life had a lot to do with her foul mouth that offended people everywhere. There are many people in this world who can see at a glance the true ugliness of Shi Xiangyun hidden under her "straightforwardness".

Shi Xiangyun definitely has feelings for Jia Baoyu, but she knows very well that Grandmother Jia will never choose her, so she can only test him half-truthfully.

The reason why she treats Lin Daiyu less than Xue Baochai is that from the perspective of life experience, Lin Daiyu's parents are both dead, just like her. She is jealous that Lin Daiyu can get the recognition of Grandmother Jia, but she herself cannot. On the other hand, although Xue Baochai has lost her father, her mother and brother are still alive and they love Xue Baochai very much. Shi Xiangyun bullies the weak and fears the strong, so naturally she dares not conflict with Xue Baochai. Instead, she does bad things to Lin Daiyu in many ways.

The same is true for Jia Lang now. Shi Xiangyun was born in a family of nobles and is a girl. Her upbringing since childhood did not tell her that there is any difference between scholars. However, the needlework she was forced to do by the Shi ladies only made Shi Xiangyun realize the importance of money, but did not tell her what the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans were.

That is why in the original plot, Shi Xiangyun dared to use the actors to disgust Lin Daiyu, and believed that Xue Baochai was better than Lin Daiyu, and was a better match for Jia Baoyu than Lin Daiyu.

But this time, Shi Xiangyun's "speaking frankly" was useless. Jia Lang did not give her any face at all. No matter how much Shi Xiangyun regretted and explained, Jia Lang remained unmoved and did not give Shi Xiangyun any way out.

Grandmother Jia originally wanted to ask Shi Xiangyun to come over and get to know Jia Lang better. In the future, when Jia Lang becomes successful, maybe she can help support Shi Xiangyun.

But she didn't expect that Shi Xiangyun had a hole in her brain. In order to help her beloved brother "vent his anger", she deliberately humiliated Jia Lang.

Lin Daiyu was frightened when she saw Shi Xiangyun doing this again. Normally, when Shi Xiangyun came to the Jia Mansion, she had said some unpleasant things to her because she was in a bad mood. But not long after, Shi Xiangyun acted as if nothing had happened, which made Lin Daiyu wonder if she was too sensitive and if what Shi Xiangyun said was not intentional.

However, since there are few girls in the Jia family, Shi Xiangyun occasionally changes her ways. She feels that she and Lin Daiyu share the same suffering, so she comes to play with Lin Daiyu as if nothing has happened. This makes Lin Daiyu more and more suspicious whether she is just being petty and thinking too much, and that it is neither right nor wrong to be with Shi Xiangyun.

Seeing Jia Lang's reaction this time, Lin Daiyu suddenly realized that she had been wrong before. Those hurtful words Shi Xiangyun said were intentional, and it was not because she was overthinking.

This was the first time that Shi Xiangyun was exposed so bluntly. She felt a little embarrassed for a moment, and finally her eyes turned red. She turned around and rushed to Lady Jia, hugged her and started crying.

The scene became very awkward for a while. Jia Lang didn't care. Grandmother Jia wanted to comfort Shi Xiangyun, but looking at Jia Lang's expression, she didn't dare to smooth things over like she did before. Jia Baoyu, on the other hand, kept turning around anxiously, wanting to comfort Shi Xiangyun, and also wanting to come to Jia Lang to plead for her.

Seeing this, Jia Lang was too lazy to act, so he just said that he wanted to go back to review his studies, then turned and left.

After Jia Lang left, Shi Xiangyun cried even louder. Seeing that Shi Xiangyun would not listen no matter how she tried to comfort her, Jia's mother gradually became dissatisfied. Xiangyun had just lost her temper with Daiyu earlier, but now she was just doing it for the sake of her eldest nephew and niece's wife who had passed away early.

Now, I kindly gave her the opportunity to get acquainted with Lang Ge'er, but she started to act like a mischief again. I thought Lang Ge'er was as good-natured as Daiyu and let her pretend.

She wants to establish her power by stepping on the descendants of the Jia family. Does she, the aunt of the Shi family, really love Shi Xiangyun so much?

"That's enough, that's enough. If you keep crying, it must be because my Jia family hasn't treated you well enough and you've been wronged. I'd better ask someone to send Xiangyun back to your home!"

Grandmother Jia's patience had run out, and it showed immediately on her face and in her words. When Shi Xiangyun heard that Grandmother Jia was going to send her back, she immediately became intimidated, stopped crying immediately, and embarrassedly acted like a spoiled child towards Grandmother Jia.

"Madam, Xiangyun just arrived and hasn't had a good chat with Brother Ai yet. She doesn't want to go back!"

When Jia Baoyu saw that Shi Xiangyun had finally stopped crying, he hurriedly smiled and approached her to chat and laugh with her. Lin Daiyu, who was standing by, watched the emotional changes of Jia Mu, Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun, and suddenly realized that she had been too tolerant in the past, which not only made Jia Mu and Jia Baoyu ignore her grievances, but also made Shi Xiangyun even more proud and arrogant.

But Brother Lang San is only a bastard after all, and the old lady loves Shi Xiangyun so much, will she really not blame him?

After returning to his residence, Jia Lang turned around and threw Shi Xiangyun aside. No matter why Shi Xiangyun targeted him, it was certain that she was biased towards the second house. Since she was not an ally of the first house, she was an enemy. Jia Lang would not be soft-hearted towards his enemy even if her fate was tragic.

Shi Xiangyun’s misery was not caused by herself. The most important thing is to respect the fate of others and cherish your own life.

That night, everyone left Jia's mother's residence and went to rest. Shi Xiangyun had a gloomy face and was angry. She asked her personal maid she brought from the Shi family to find out about Jia Lang.

"Didn't Sister Xiren say that it was because of Jia Lang that my beloved brother was punished by Uncle Zheng? Why did the old lady and my beloved brother disagree with me helping my beloved brother to satirize Jia Lang today?"

In Shi Xiangyun's view, Jia Baoyu is the grandson that Jia's grandmother loves the most. Jia Lang caused Jia Baoyu to be beaten. It is reasonable for Jia's grandmother to be dissatisfied with Jia Lang. What's more, in a family like theirs, being a concubine's son is inherently inferior. You must know that Jia Huan and Jia Zhong have hardly had the opportunity to appear in front of Jia's grandmother except for coming to Rong Xi Tang to kowtow to her during festivals.

In March, Jia Lang turned 13 and officially entered the Imperial Academy to study. Shi Xiangyun was still staying at the Jia Mansion and had not returned. Jia Lang would ignore her when he saw her, which made Shi Xiangyun, who wanted to reconcile, very angry.

Jia Baoyu is essentially a person who loves beauty. Although he does not like Jia Lang's study, he likes Jia Lang's gentle and gentlemanly appearance. He always runs to talk to Jia Lang after he returns home from school.

Grandmother Jia and Jia Zheng were happy that Jia Baoyu and Jia Lang had a good relationship, so they did not stop it. However, the Second Wife was a little dissatisfied. However, for the sake of Jia Baoyu's "future", she finally endured it.

Wang Xifeng has not met her brother-in-law Jia Lang very often during this period. After all, due to her status as a brother-in-law, she still has to avoid suspicion to some extent. However, the relationship between Jia Lian and Jia Lang has improved a lot, at least much better than the relationship between Jia Lian and Jia Yingchun in her previous life.

That day, Jia Lian had a big quarrel with Wang Xifeng over the issue of taking a concubine. Feeling upset, he happened to meet Jia Lang who was taking a break in the front yard. Thinking that Jia Lang was not young anymore and would soon have to get married, Jia Lian could not help but find Jia Lang and talk about his own troubles.
