Chapter 944 [Ashes of Love: Red Mansion Tribulation 14]
In the study room of Beijing Prince's Mansion, the light was soft and quiet, and the antique bookshelves were filled with all kinds of books. Runyu stood tall in front of the window, his back to the door, his hands behind his back, staring at the scenery outside the window, as if thinking about something.
After a moment, he slowly turned around, his face stern, and asked, "An Yi, has Miss Lin returned home?" His voice was low and magnetic.
An, who was kneeling on the ground, did not dare to raise his head and replied respectfully: "My lord, Miss Lin has returned to the Lin Mansion at 3 p.m."
Runyu nodded slightly to show that he understood, and then asked, "Did anything special happen when they went to the Jia Mansion this time?" A trace of concern flashed in his eyes.
An Yi hurriedly replied, "My lord, as far as I know, Madam Jia seems to be trying to match Miss Lin with Jia Baoyu, and also wants Young Master Lin to marry the three young ladies of the Jia family. However, all of this was decisively rejected by Madam Lin. Madam Lin refused the Jia family on the grounds that Miss Lin was a concubine waiting to be selected and could not be married casually. I didn't expect that the Jia family would not give up and instead set their sights on Young Master Lin, but Young Master Lin made it clear that he was not interested in romance at the moment and only wanted to focus on the imperial examination."
Hearing this, Runyu's face instantly turned gloomy, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! How dare the Jia family set their sights on my people! They really don't know how to live or die!" He waved his sleeves violently, bringing up a gust of wind.
After calming down a bit, Runyu continued to instruct, "An Yi, send someone to the palace to cause trouble for that Jia Concubine. I remember that she has been unable to conceive a dragon descendant, right? I guess the Jia family doesn't care about this unborn child. In that case, why not just prevent this child from being born? De Fei has always disliked Jia Concubine, so this matter can be put on her head."
An Yi responded and said, "Yes, I obey your command! I will definitely get the job done, please rest assured, my master." After that, he quickly stood up and left to carry out his mission.
"An Er!" Runyu narrowed his eyes slightly, opened his thin lips, and called out in a low voice. Although the voice was not loud, it seemed to carry an invisible pressure, slowly echoing in this quiet space.
A moment later, a man in black clothes appeared silently from the darkness like a ghost. He knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Master."
Runyu's face was as gloomy as water, and a barely perceptible cold light flashed in his eyes. He ordered coldly, "Isn't Jia Baoyu obsessed with women? Humph, go and give him a special medicine. Once he takes it, he will never be able to leave women. Also, send the four pretty maids beside him to his bed tonight. I want to see how he can get away when he is obsessed with women and can't stop. Remember, you can ask Xia Lin for this medicine."
When An Er heard this, his heart was shocked, but his face remained expressionless. He just replied in a deep voice: "Yes, master. I obey your command." After that, his figure flashed and he left quickly like a breeze, disappearing into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
Runyu paused for a moment, then cast his gaze towards another corner and said slowly, "An Eleven, An Twelve."
Before he finished speaking, two graceful figures appeared like fluttering butterflies. They turned out to be a pair of beautiful sisters with outstanding temperament. They stood side by side and responded in a tender voice: "Master."
Runyu stared at them and said in a serious tone: "You two should go to Miss Lin immediately. No matter what means or methods you use, you must do everything you can to become her confidant. Do you understand?"
The two sisters looked at each other, nodded in understanding, and said in unison: "Yes, master, don't worry, we will not fail in our mission." Then, they turned around and left gracefully, and soon disappeared without a trace.
It was a sunny day, and Jia Min walked out of the gate of the mansion as usual. She was dressed in simple and elegant clothes, with a graceful figure and elegant temperament. At this moment, a noise not far ahead attracted her attention.
When I got closer, I saw two haggard-looking women in ragged clothes kneeling on the street, with a worn-out wooden board in front of them, on which were written four characters in crooked handwriting: "Selling Myself to Bury My Father". The two women had tears in their eyes and looked miserable, which made people feel pity.
Jia Min was a kindhearted person, and she could not bear to see this. Without hesitation, she took out a purse from her waist, took out 20 taels of heavy silver, handed it to the two women, and said softly, "Take this silver and bury your father properly." After that, she turned around and left.
After receiving the silver, the two women were filled with gratitude and kowtowed to express their gratitude. One of them raised her head, looked at Jia Min firmly and said, "Thank you for saving my life, Madam. I am willing to work like a cow or a horse in my life to repay your kindness!" Jia Min was slightly startled and waved her hands and said, "No need to do so. I am just doing my best. How can I ask you to work like a cow or a horse? Get up quickly."
However, the two women refused to give up and insisted on following Jia Min to repay her kindness. It turned out that the two women were not the daughters of ordinary families, but people with a special mission - An Eleven and An Twelve. They were originally ordered to hit Youyou here, but they did not see Youyou leave the house after squatting for many days. Seeing that the deadline was approaching, the two had no choice but to turn their target to Jia Min who was passing by.
At this time, An Shiyi saw that Jia Min seemed to have no intention of taking them back to the mansion. She became anxious and pretended to be pitiful and begged: "Madam, please have mercy on us and take us in! Now we two sisters are helpless, and our only relative in the family, our father, has left us. If you don't take us in, I'm afraid we will really be homeless and starve to death in the wilderness... I beg you to let us come into the mansion and be maids for the sake of our loneliness. At least we can have something to eat and not starve to death!" As she spoke, she began to cry again.
An Twelve bowed slightly and said to Jia Min with a smile, "Madam, to be honest, although I am not talented, I know a little bit about medicine. Maybe I can help you solve some problems in some aspects! As for my sister, although she has only learned some mediocre skills, she also has a skill."
After hearing this, Jia Min frowned and thought for a while. She thought that she already had enough maids in her house, but these two women had their own strengths, which was quite interesting. Especially when she thought of her own daughter, it would be great if she could have someone who was proficient in martial arts and someone who knew medicine by her side. In this way, she could ensure her daughter's safety and get medical treatment in time when she was unwell.
Thinking of this, Jia Min smiled and said, "Well, if that's the case, then you two should go back with me. From now on, you will stay by the young lady's side and serve her well."
"Thank you, Madam!" An Eleven and An Twelve hurriedly responded in unison and exchanged glances. They saw the unconcealable joy in each other's eyes. You know, in order to successfully approach the Jia Mansion and stay with Miss Lin, they have been waiting and planning for many days! Now that they have finally got what they wanted, they are naturally very happy.
