Qingwen in "Dream of the Red Chamber" is a character deeply loved by readers. However, she was driven away from the Jia Mansion in the novel for being accused, which makes people wonder who was behind this? Many people suspect that Xi Ren was the culprit, but in fact, this suspicion is ungrounded.

Firstly, Xi Ren and Qingwen have completely different personalities. Qingwen is a lively person, while Xi Ren prefers quietness. This personality difference is also reflected in their daily habits. In the novel, Xi Ren likes quietness, while Qingwen enjoys gatherings with others, and she is even often called "of all trades and professions, indifferent to others" by other servants. Therefore, Xi Ren does not have Qingwen's personality of "enjoying the spectacle and not minding the trouble", and is unlikely to go and report.

Secondly, Xi Ren and Qingwen also have different positions in the Jia Mansion. Although they are both favorites of Jia Baoyu, Xi Ren, as his personal servant, has a much higher status than Qingwen. At the same time, Xi Ren is also one of the most trusted people by Jia Baoyu in the Daguan Garden. Therefore, if Xi Ren wanted to conspire against Qingwen, she actually didn't need to use such means as reporting. She could use other ways, such as speaking ill of Qingwen to Jia Baoyu, or playing small tricks to embarrass Qingwen. So, the suspicion of Xi Ren reporting is not strong.

Finally, the situation on the day Qingwen was driven away also indicates that Xi Ren was not the one who reported. In the novel, after Lady Wang got angry, she asked the housekeeper to report that Qingwen had done some things wrongly, and then drove her out of the Jia Mansion. When Xi Ren learned that Qingwen had been driven away, she did not try to defend herself as suspected, but silently accepted Jia Baoyu's questioning. This also indicates that Xi Ren was not the one who reported.

The tragedy of Qingwen was not caused by Xi Ren. Whoever reported, the final result was the same. Qingwen's tragedy makes people deeply reflect that one should not be too showy, and leaving room for maneuver can avoid the fate of suffering a miserable ending.
