Chapter 486 A Dream of Red Mansions - Wang Xifeng 13

Wang Xifeng had read the commentary of A Dream of Red Mansions, which speculated on the reason why Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang rarely appeared in the plot. One commentary said: "It stands to reason that in ancient times, uncles were very close. For such a close uncle's family, in the whole 80 chapters, the Wang family did not have a single line, and there was not a single description of their appearance. The words between the lines revealed the author's indifference and disgust towards the Wang family."

It is known that the author of "Dream of Red Mansions" reflected the protagonist Jia Baoyu. What circumstances would make Jia Baoyu so disgusted with his uncle Wang Ziteng and his cousin Wang Ren? I think it should be related to what the Wang family did.

Looking back carefully at the entire plot of "Dream of Red Mansions", the Wang family probably did many things that not only did not lend a helping hand, but may even have added insult to injury to the impoverished Rongguo Mansion.

Just like in the previous life, Wang Xifeng's daughter Qiaojie was sold to a brothel by her wolf brother Wang Ren, the Wang family treated an orphan like this, so how could they be much better to Jia Baoyu? They would most likely treat him coldly, despise him, and even cheat him out of his remaining wealth.

Wang Ziteng, who was raised in such a Wang family, is naturally just as selfish and profit-driven, and does not care about blood ties. Wang Xifeng spent five years building a close relationship with Wang Ziteng, but still could not get any true love from him. It seems that the so-called asking for opinions before was just because Wang Ziteng had doubts and was reluctant to let go, and it was not about asking Wang Xifeng's own wishes at all.

In this case, Wang Xifeng has no intention of staying in the Wang family. Given Wang Ziteng's personality, it is very likely that he will find a way to sell himself out in the end and will not consider his own happiness at all.

After Wang Xifeng "recovered from her illness", she rested for a while. During this time, Wang Xifeng had been secretly looking for a way to leave the Wang Mansion. However, the Wang family was on good terms with families like Jia, Shi, and Xue that were destined to be destroyed, so Wang Xifeng had no good choice at all.

Helplessly, Wang Xifeng could only temporarily stop her plan and concentrate on practicing. Half of the twelve meridians had been completed, and there were still six left to be completed. After returning from Gusu, Wang Xifeng had not found a quiet time to practice. Since Wang Xifeng "fell ill", Zhen arranged for a maid to take care of her. Wang Xifeng had someone following her around all day, and even someone was watching her when she slept at night, so she could not find any time to practice at all.

Fortunately, not long after that, Zhen planned to go to Huangjue Temple to worship Buddha, and she specially brought Wang Xifeng with her. Wang Xifeng only brought two maids, and she immediately felt much freer.

When they arrived at Huangjue Temple, Wang Xifeng first accompanied Zhen to worship Buddha and listened to Buddhist scriptures before she had some free time. She deliberately sent away the maid who followed her, found a quiet resting pavilion by herself, and closed her eyes.

"Use the energy of creation of heaven and earth first."

After making sure that the energy of heaven and earth had completely enveloped the power of merit in her body, Wang Xifeng began to absorb the power of merit. Interestingly, this time she felt it was even easier than before. Wang Xifeng was surprised. She began to compare the difference between her previous absorption of the power of merit and this time, and was surprised to find that the power of cause and effect on her body was less before going to Gusu and after returning to the capital.

"Is it because of Lin Daiyu?"

Wang Xifeng didn't do anything else when she came back except taking blood from Lin Daiyu's fingertips, so she knew at once that this change must have been because of Wang Xifeng.

"Could it be because last time in the world of Dream of the Red Chamber, I changed Lin Daiyu's fate, and in this life her blood repaid the favor?"

"Hmm... maybe it's because of that drop of spiritual fluid."

Lin Daiyu was originally weak due to congenital deficiencies. After having the spiritual liquid, it should not be a problem for her to grow up healthy in this life. It will definitely be a good thing for her to be free from the illness that tormented her.

As for Jia Baoyu becoming Jia Shitou, and the frail Lin Daiyu becoming a healthy little drama queen, it has nothing to do with Wang Xifeng.

After figuring it out, Wang Xifeng stopped worrying about it, and instead took advantage of the fact that no one was disturbing her to absorb it desperately. After completing a large cycle, Wang Xifeng opened her eyes and found a young man sitting opposite her.

"You are such an interesting person. You actually fell asleep while sitting like this."

When the young man saw Wang Xifeng open her eyes, he fanned the folding fan in his hand like a peacock spreading its tail, showing off his romantic talent to Wang Xifeng.

"Pretentious freak..."

Wang Xifeng had seen the grown-up Prince Beijing in her previous life, so she recognized the young man as Prince Beijing at a glance. However, the grown-up Prince Beijing had an air of dignity and complacency, which was completely different from the pretentious look he had now.

I think it’s because he is still young and hasn’t yet learned the temperament and manners.

Wang Xifeng didn't want to pay attention to him, so she kept a straight face and didn't answer. Unexpectedly, it was this reaction that made Beijing Wang's eyes light up, "Interesting."

Prince Beijing inherited his father's title at a young age. He had a high status and was handsome. Whenever he met girls of the same age, he would inevitably be courted by them. Although there were many restrictions on girls in this era, they were still allowed to do things like flirt with them and peek at them shyly.

Prince Beijing had seen many girls' admiring eyes, so he felt quite surprised when he saw Wang Xifeng ignoring him like this.

"Whose family are you from? Do you know who I am?"

Seeing that Wang Xifeng still ignored him, Prince Beijing closed his folding fan, leaned forward, lifted Wang Xifeng's chin with his folding fan, and said frivolously: "I am Prince Beijing."

After saying this, he raised his head and glanced at Wang Xifeng, expectantly waiting for Wang Xifeng to show an expression of surprise and flattery.

Wang Xifeng was inexplicably drawn into an ancient idol drama of a domineering prince and a stubborn little white flower princess, and she was the stubborn little white flower who attracted the attention of the domineering King Beijing...

If she were young, Wang Xifeng would still be in the mood to play with him, after all, Prince Beijing was really good-looking, but now Wang Xifeng has seen too much and just finds it boring.

Prince Beijing is indeed a man like Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu, who is full of contempt and indifference towards women. These men who were brought up in feudal society have no possibility of change. Love and affection do not prevent them from taking concubines, visiting prostitutes, and playing with boys.

It's like a worm-eaten apple, shiny and beautiful on the outside, but rotten on the inside. Wang Xifeng never tried to change a man, she just chose him. After all, if she couldn't change herself, why would she force others to change?

"lecher!"

Wang Xifeng glared at Prince Beijing fiercely and slammed his folding fan away. She was too lazy to argue with him. She always felt that if she really got entangled with this man, she would be satisfying him instead.

While Prince Beijing was still surprised at being scolded, Wang Xifeng got up and left. As for the fact that Prince Beijing became more interested in Wang Xifeng after he realized what was going on, she didn't know.
