Ch. 110 - The Fake Feelings had Deceived a True Insider

In the evening.

Looking around at nobody, Sun Shaozong, with the help of the cover of the flower bed, walked out of the rockery, bending his waist.

He carefully removed the Taihu Lake stone and wiped his hands on the hem of his shirt. Then he took out a pleated skirt from his arms and handed it to Ping’er.

He explained carefully, "I stole it from Yiran Pavilion. When you finish, remember to leave it nearby, so that they may think it was blown away by the wind."

Ping'er had just tidied up her clothes and hairpins. She took the pleated skirt and put it on her body. She then stretched out her hand on Sun Shaozong’s palm and let him help her out of the cave.

She could not help feeling as if she were separated from the rest of the world as she gathered her broken hair with her hands and looked at the half-moon in the sky.

"Can you hide it if you go back like this?"

Sun Shaozong stammered aside, "Why don't I talk to Brother Lian and ask you to return with me..."

"Never!"

Before he could finish, Ping'er shook her head firmly and said, "Second Master Lian is different from Master Xue. Even if the women around him are not close to him, they can't be remembered by others."

Sun Shaozong naturally knew this.

He just slept with her in a muddle-headed way. When she learned the truth, she said, "Let bygones be bygones" magnanimously. But he couldn't be unresponsive here, could he?

That's why he insisted on asking Jia Lian for Ping’er.

Now, Sun Shaozong was relieved to hear Ping’er say so.

However, he didn't dare to show it on his face. Instead, he looked at Ping’er with a reluctant expression and hesitated.

However, after “meeting each other openly” in the cave, Ping'er complained only about Wang Xifeng and Lai Da. She could not say anything about Sun Shaozong, who was also the victim.

At this time, Sun Shaozong's face was filled with the expression "in a despondent mood.” Compared with Jia Lian's usual heartlessness, she could not help but feel something strange.

Therefore, she hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Don't worry, I have my ways to hide it from others. If the Second Madam Lian does something again, I will find a way to inform you."

After she said that, she greeted him slightly bending her knees, then turned around and left.

This was clearly the meaning of being an insider for him!

Sun Shaozong would be a fool if he let her go like this!

Although he didn't suffer any loss this time and slept with a beautiful lady for nothing, Sun Shaozong won't give up revenge on Wang Xifeng, Lai Da, and others because of this. Also, what more convenient means could be used to retaliate against them than instigate rebellion of Ping’er?

So he stopped Ping’er at a brisk pace and said excitedly, "Lady Ping’er, I have... I have contaminated you, but you are still willing to treat me like this, which is really... really..."

He then reached out and pulled a jade pendant from his waist and put it in Ping'er's hand. He said solemnly, "I don't know how to write love poems. Take this family heirloom jade pendant first. If I have a chance in the future, I will marry you home!"

Ping’er lifted the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, but she could not help but feel a little absurd in her heart. What Wang Xifeng could not have gotten with all her deliberate plans, Sun Shaozong took the initiative to deliver it to her.

After a while, she looked up and said, "Lord Sun, I... ooh..."

Just after she started the sentence, Sun Shaozong suddenly lowered his head and kissed her.

Ping’er was stiff at first, then relaxed again, just as she had done in the cave. No, this time she not only gave up resistance but even catered carefully!

After kissing for a long time, the two let each other go.

Both of them looked at each other for a while again. Ping'er could not resist Sun Shaozong's fiery eyes. She blushed and lowered her head and said, "I... I have to go."

With that, she ran out in a panic, but she couldn't help looking back.

When she found that Sun Shaozong was still looking at her with affection, Ping'er felt more comforted and asked him to hide his face.

Sun Shaozong kept watching Ping'er disappear at the end of the tree-lined path. He then overcame his obsession, raised his hand, and slapped himself in the face. He murmured, "Oh gosh, it’s really getting worse with no bottom line after living in ancient times for so long!"

He was not a hungry young man who loved women. How could he be infatuated with a woman because he slept in a muddle-headed way?

So 90% of them were acting just now, and the so-called ”family jade pendant” was a thank-you gift from Feng Xin when he took over the office. Sun Shaozong only wore it occasionally, and few people knew he had it.

Even if Ping'er turned around after the event and wanted to use the jade pendant to involve him, he could get away by acting dumb.

But…

Compared with the old fox Jia Yucun, Sun Shaozong still lost. If he hadn't checked with Ping’er in the cave and found some clues, he was afraid that he would have fallen into Jia Yucun’s plot again.

The old fox had already given a heads-up in front of Lai Da. He said that Sun Shaozong had fallen out with him completely. At present, whenever there was any mistake or embarrassment, he would plant it on him.

With these words, even if Sun Shaozong tried to explain himself, Lai Da would only believe that he was prevaricating and provoking.

Sigh~

Officialdom was not so easy to mix!

Sun Shaozong sighed and came to a flower bed, laid down in it without saying a word, and rolled around. After getting up, he casually hit it. He then ran to the flower hall with weeds.

Now, several hours later, Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu couldn’t still be here. However, because Sun Shaozong has not been found, there were still two servants left.

Seeing him come in with a disheveled face, the two young servants hurried to greet him and made a fuss, "Lord Sun, you... How did you get this?!"

"It's nothing. I drank more liquor at noon and fell asleep in the flower bed accidentally." Sun Shaozong said vaguely, and then asked, "Where are Brother Lian and Brother Bao? It's time for me to say goodbye to them."

Seeing that he was in such a mess, he still spoke with a big tongue. The two boys naturally believed in him. They hurriedly asked Sun Shaozong to sit down in the flower hall holding back their laughter. They then separated one person to invite Jia Lian.

Not long after, he saw Jia Lian coming in a hurry. Seeing Sun Shaozong with withered leaves, he couldn't help laughing. Pointing at Sun Shaozong, he said, "Oh Erlang, Erlang, you always call yourself a magnanimous man, but you didn’t think that there would be a day when you would be in such a mess."

Sun Shaozong felt relieved when he saw him gloating. He smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know where Brother Bao got the wine. It's so powerful. I've only drunk a few bowls before I'm drunk. If it were changed to an ordinary person, wouldn't he be drunk to death?"

He then smacked his lips again and said with a look of aftertaste, "But I enjoyed my sleep. You might as well have a bowl of it to try so that you can have a good aftertaste, Second Brother Lian."

"I wanted to."

Jia Lian also put his hands together and said, "But when I was busy looking for you, I didn't know who accidentally spilled the wine jar. Now there is not a drop left."
