Helping to console?
Sun Shaozong was a bit puzzled for a moment. Was Jia Lian jokingly saying this or did he have some clues, so he deliberately used words to test himself?
So, with a kind heart, he remained vigilant and shook his head with a smirk, saying, "Perhaps it wasn't you who took the initiative to quit being lustful, but rather a mountain in a family where it's hard to accommodate two tigers, right?"
This was not only making fun of Wang Xifeng's fierceness but also testing Jia Lian's true thoughts; if he only pretended to be magnanimous, and still harbored hidden resentment in his heart. When Sun Shaozong actively mentioned Wang Xifeng, he would inevitably show some carelessness.
However, for today's Second Master Lian, such probing was really throwing his eyebrows and eyes at the blind man. Of course, if Sun Shaozong really wanted to throw a seductive eye at him, Second Master Lian would probably rush forward without hesitation!
"Haha..."
Just as Jia Lian pretended to be generous with a smile and was about to say something, Jia Baoyu beside him couldn't help but feel angry and said, "Sister Qiulian and I have never exceeded the norm. How could two older brothers think so dirty?"
When he was upset, Jia Lian and Sun Shaozong naturally couldn't bring up the issue of "serving guests with concubines" anymore. They quickly comforted him with a few words and then changed the topic to talk about some strange anecdotes both inside and outside the Capital.
To Sun Shaozong's surprise, Jia Lian had no intention of getting drunk on him at all. Instead, Jia Baoyu frequently raised his glass to drown his sorrows. However, after half an hour without stopping, he drank himself completely drunk.
Watching Jia Baoyu crouching on the table, drunk and drowsy, he muttered something like "A beautiful girl has an unfortunate life." Xiren quickly stepped forward to apologize, saying, "It must be a joke, Masters. He knows how to restrain himself in front of outsiders, but the closer he gets, the more irregular it becomes."
Sun Shaozong smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Since you know he's close to me, why are you saying these things? Hurry up and help him into the house. If he gets caught in a cold wind, it's still a small matter. However, if he won't be able to visit the Prince Beijing's Residence tomorrow, I'm afraid your Old Lady will find out and make the family restless again."
With an apologetic smile, Xiren was about to turn around and shout for "Sheyue" and "Qiuwen" to help Baoyu inside to rest, only to see Qiuwen walking in with a cold face.
Seeing that her expression was not right, and she didn't know who she was looking at, Xiren couldn't help but furrow her brows and secretly said that they were all spoiled by Baoyu daily, and they all had no manners at all!
Just as she was about to scold Qiuwen for a few words, she saw another person coming in from outside. Xiren suddenly realized that no wonder Qiuwen didn't have a good color on her face. The person was Lin Hongyu!
When she was at the Yihong Courtyard, Qiuwen had already been at odds with this "Xiaohong.” Later, Lin Hongyu defected to the Yihong Courtyard and climbed up Wang Xifeng's high branch, which made Qiuwen even more unhappy.
However, Lin Hongyu's appearance had also decreased significantly compared to before, and there was a hint of lingering resentment between her eyebrows. Obviously, this tall branch didn’t climb very smoothly.
With this thought in mind, Xiren took a few steps and asked calmly, "You're coming now, is there any instruction from the Second Madam?"
Lin Hongyu smiled at Jia Lian and Sun Shaozong, and then bowed to them, saying, "Second Master, Lord Sun, the Old Lady said that it's not easy for the Second Lady to come back to her parents' house, so she should stay here for two days, and if you don't have any important business matters, you should rest for the night before leaving."
When Sun Shaozong saw Lin Hongyu, he immediately remembered her missing clothes and pondered her purpose of becoming a gentleman on the beam. His gaze unconsciously lingered on her for a while.
After Lin Hongyu finished speaking, Sun Shaozong had not yet decided whether to refuse or stay with the flow. However, Jia Lian over there said, "Come to my side."
Lin Hongyu hurriedly took small steps and stood in front of Jia Lian, hanging her hand. She even tilted her head slightly and exposed her delicate ears, obviously thinking that Jia Lian had called her over to say some private things.
Who would have thought that as soon as she turned her head and tightened her waist, she would be embraced by Jia Lian?
Lin Hongyu was stunned, instinctively waiting to struggle. However, she suddenly realized that this was an intimate gesture that Jia Lian had never experienced in a long time. If she struggled unknowingly, she might even have to wear out the cold bench in the future.
So, disregarding the presence of others, she sat on Jia Lian's lap with a red face and rubbed Jia Lian straight onto his chest.
However, Lin Hongyu's proactive cooperation made Jia Lian feel a bit uncomfortable. He frowned and withdrew, without any pity, pinching Lin Hongyu's small face, forcing her to face Sun Shaozong. Then he smiled and said, "I just saw Erlang take a few more glances at this little hoof. Isn't it that you have some interest in her?"
As he spoke, Lin Hongyu, who was already familiar with the routine, untied the belt around her waist and lifted her water-tight floral jacket with a slanted collar. She peeled off half of her green and white tender arm and Jia Lian said, "I haven't used this little hoof a few times, and her body is still tender. The entangled methods on the bed are no less than those of the old prostitutes in the kiln..."
Lin Hongyu was originally stunned by this sudden change. At this moment, when she heard him compare herself to a piece of junk in a kiln, she was so ashamed and angry that she suddenly came to her senses. She quickly covered the big red brocade innerwear with her sleeves and cried with a crying voice, "Second Master, you can't do that, you can't do that to me!"
"What's there to refuse?"
Seeing Lin Hongyu shaking her head incessantly, Jia Lian added some force to her hand. Her melon seed face, which was being clamped down, had changed its shape. She then casually said, "Even the Concubines of the Prince's family can be used to entertain guests. Letting you serve Erlang as a little maid, shouldn’t it be to your pleasure?"
As he spoke, he reached out and tore at Lin Hongyu's innerwear, while offering a treasure to Sun Shaozong, "Although these little hooves lack some richness, they..."
Cough!
Seeing that if he continued to let it be, Lin Hongyu was about to get stripped naked. Sun Shaozong cleared his throat and awkwardly said, "Second Brother, don't misunderstand. I just saw that she has a kind face, but I can't remember her name for a moment. I couldn't help but take a few more glances, there's no other meaning!"
"I see."
Jia Lian nodded clearly, but there was no intention of stopping in his hand. He forcefully pulled off a tie, and if it weren't for Lin Hongyu desperately blocking it, her innerwear would have rolled and revealed infinite spring light.
As Jia Lian moved, he said, "This little hoof is called Lin Hongyu, which was quite a person as its name suggests, especially..."
"Second Brother, Second Brother!"
Sun Shaozong saw that he still had no intention of stopping as if he wouldn’t stop selling this ”Lin Hongyu.” He quickly reminded him, "This is Baoyu’s room, and she is delivering messages for the Old Lady. If there is a rumor and it's not a joke, it will anger the Old Lady again!"
After a brief pause, he added helplessly, "Besides, I really didn't mean that!"
"That's right, after all, it's not easy to have fun here."
Jia Lian stopped his hand movements and pushed Lin Hongyu, who was crying, to the ground. Without even looking at her, he picked up the handkerchief on the table and wiped his hands hard.
Lin Hongyu tried her best to cover her collar, sobbing and crawling forward a few steps. Seeing that Jia Lian had no intention of stopping her, she got up and fled outside.
As soon as she was in the corner, she fastened the waistband and collar back, and someone behind her smiled mischievously, "I wonder, how can anyone climb up the high branch so easily? It turns out there's a trick from an old prostitute."
It was originally Qiuwen who followed out from inside, holding her arm and watching her joke.
"You!"
Lin Hongyu gritted her teeth and stomped her feet in anger, but also knew that she couldn't get any advantage in this Yihong Courtyard. She simply suppressed the hatred in her heart and turned her head to fly out.
"Ouch!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as she rushed out of the gate, she collided head-on with someone full of excitement!
Lin Hongyu fell like a rolling gourd, feeling dizzy from the impact. Before she could even get up from the ground, Qiuwen rushed out of the door and reached out to help her.
She couldn’t believe this lowly hoof still had some conscience!
Lin Hongyu was about to get up and take advantage of the situation, but to her surprise, Qiuwen stepped over her and helped the person who had been hit. She hurriedly said, "Qingwen, Qingwen! Are you okay?"
It turned out that Qingwen, who had collided with Lin Hongyu, was rushing over from the Lotus Root Pavilion.
Leaving aside Lin Hongyu's growing anger, she stood up angrily and stumbled away.
Qingwen stood up and ignored the incident of being hit. She only tightly grasped Qiuwen's wrist and trembled, asking, "Is Second Master Bao inside?"
"Yes, but..."
As soon as Qiuwen spoke, Qingwen had already thrown off her wrist and rushed inside.
"Don’t be in a hurry!"
Qiuwen immediately panicked and stood sideways in front of Qingwen, stuttering, "Second Master Bao is currently having a banquet, I'm afraid it won't be convenient to see you."
Qingwen's gaze scanned her open arms for a while, and her already cold heart felt a chill. She forced a smile and said, "Then I'll go ahead and wait for a while."
"This... this..."
Qiuwen stuttered, intending to explain a few words but not knowing how to speak, sweating profusely, but refusing to give way.
"What's going on?"
Qingwen's face finally cooled down and she sneered. "We’ve been living together for four or five years, but now I'm not even allowed to enter the door?"
"It's not me... it's not me..."
After awkwardly hesitating for a while, Qiuwen finally couldn't help but reveal the truth, "It wasn't that I didn't let you in. It was Second Master Bao's momentary confusion. He swore in front of his mother that he would not let you into this Yihong Courtyard again, else, he would be... thunderstruck five times!"
For Qingwen, these words were like thunderbolts thundering to the ceiling. After a moment of contemplation, she murmured sadly, "I see, I see..."
Speaking of which, she suddenly put two fingers into her mouth and bit fiercely!
They only heard two crisp clicks!
"What are you doing?!"
Qiuwen was so scared that her soul flew away. She quickly pulled her hand to check but saw that her fingers were all in good condition and there was no missing one.
At this moment, Qingwen spat out two bright red nails from her mouth and stuffed them into Qiuwen's hand. She said, "These two nails were grown by Second Master Bao's side. Please take them as a memory for him."
As she spoke, she walked towards the outside like a walking corpse, but no matter how Qiuwen shouted from behind, she didn't respond at all.
