The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion Chapter 395: A Storm of Jealousy Generates Waves and Ripples
Seeing Jia Zheng's eagerness to attack, he disregarded the fact that he was hitting Baoyu head-on. Sun Shaozong was also intimidated. Without waiting for the water and fire stick to fall, he quickly grabbed it with his cross arm and took advantage of the situation to grab it in his arms.
Shoo~
As Sun Shaozong poked the stick on the ground, he said solemnly, "Look at your posture, Uncle. I'm afraid I have to take Brother Bao back to the Yan and torture him severely.”
Jia Zheng was forcibly robbed of his ”weapon blade,” and his heart was filled with sha and anger. Suddenly, when he heard Sun Shaozong's words, he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot and said in amazent, “You want to take him back and torture him severely? Why?”
“Is this unknown?”
Sun Shaozong spread out his hands and said with a natural expression, "Although Brother Bao has all kinds of mischievous qualities, disobedience, and unfilial behavior are determined and unafraid. Nowadays, he has provoked such righteous and immoral acts of killing people, setting a fire, looting money, and lusting outside…”
“Since he has committed such a major case, as the ruler of the Central Judicial Office, I should have taken him back for questioning.”
During his speech, disregarding Jia Zheng's reaction, he tore the rope off Baoyu's body and pretended to roar, "Let's go back to the Yan hall with .”
Jia Baoyu was shocked, he raised his pale baby face and looked at Sun Shaozong with a confused gaze. Then he trembled and said, “Second Brother... Indeed, you have beco a ghost in the underworld!”
Feeling this kid just passed out in pain. When Sun Shaozong broke the rope, he finally woke up and turned around. Coincidentally, when he heard the word ”trial,” he thought he had arrived at the underworld to judge the rits and derits of his life.
Sun Shaozong couldn't help but cry and laugh when he heard his nonsense. He angrily scolded, "Wake up quickly, you've only been hit by more than a dozen boards. Why are you talking nonsense?”
“So I'm not dead yet?”
Jia Baoyu suddenly straightened up and then fell back like a salted fish, crouching on the bench and saying, "It hurts.”
This kid was really a skilled killer; he cried out in pain, but sothing was wrong with him as he sang it in rhythm.
Originally, Jia Zheng had been foolishly entangled by Sun Shaozong and had lost all his energy. However, when he sang this song, he imdiately thought of the ”Qi Guan” again. He was so angry that he grabbed another water and fire stick, swung it around, and waited to be drawn on Baoyu's buttocks.
Sun Shaozong felt helpless and was about to stop him again. However, soone had already rushed in from outside and grabbed the board, crying, "Please be rciful, Master”
The person who ca was Madam Wang.
As soon as Jia Zheng saw that she had arrived, he blew his beard and glared at her, stomping his feet and saying, "That's it! It seems that you two, mother and son, must make rage today before I can rest.”
Madam Wang held the board tightly and cried, "Although Baoyu should be beaten, you should also take care of his health. Moreover, on this scorching sumr day, the Old Lady has never been comfortable. It is fine for you to kill Baoyu. However, if the Old Lady gets angry about this, it will be too late for you to regret it.”
When Jia Zheng heard her ntioning the Old Lady, his heart grew even more angry. He sneered repeatedly and said many things about ”being a kind mother and a defeated child.”.] He also gave up the water and fire stick, picked up the rope on the ground, and shouted to kill Baoyu.
Madam Wang refused to comply. While protecting Baoyu, she even started to cry for Jia Zhu, saying that if her eldest son were still alive, she wouldn’t care if a hundred Baoyu died.
At this mont, Li Wan and the other girls also rushed over and heard her cry Jia Zhu's na. Although she had already moved to another love in her heart, she could only follow and burst into tears.
This had already beco a ss, but the Old Lady ca outside and scolded Jia Zheng for a long ti. She also shouted that she would take her grandson back to Jinling's hotown, so as not to get in the way of Jia Zheng.
Watching Jia Zheng being forced by the Old Lady, he only dared to kowtow and apologize, without even thinking about teaching Jia Baoyu a lesson. The room was filled with won, and Sun Shaozong was also knowledgeable and retreated with those disciples and servants.
He was thinking about Yu Qian and Jia Lan in his heart, but for a mont, he didn't feel good and just flashed away.
He was alone in the corner thinking about sothing, but suddenly soone whispered, "Thanks to Second Brother Sun for saving him just now, I would like to express my gratitude on his behalf.”
Looking back, Lin Daiyu ca over with tears in her eyes. Seeing Sun Shaozong turn around, she greeted him once again.
Sun Shaozong quickly returned the greeting and comforted, "Lady Lin, don't worry. I just roughly checked and found out that Brother Bao has only injured his skin and flesh, but he hasn't touched his bones yet. As long as he is well-nourished for a few days, he will be fine.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Daiyu felt a little relieved but then hesitated again. After a while, she t Sun Shaozong's curious gaze and eagerly asked, "Second Brother Sun, I wonder why Brother Bao was beaten this ti.”
Hmm…
Should he be honest or cover up for him?
Sun Shaozong hesitated for a mont and saw Lin Daiyu's face full of worries about gains and losses. He couldn't help but secretly say, ”Forget it.”
Although Jia Baoyu was romantic and affectionate, among the many children of wealthy families, he was considered to be more than enough compared to the rest.
Especially for Lin Daiyu, whose parents have both died, such a gentle and considerate cousin could be considered a rare good match. Especially considering Lin Daiyu's small appearance in her heart, she might not really fall out with Jia Baoyu just because of his sexual orientation.
Since that was the case, why should he be a villain in vain?
Therefore, Sun Shaozong shook his head and said, "When I arrived, Uncle was beating him heavily, so I didn't have ti to ask in detail. If you want to know the truth, you might as well wait for Brother Bao to recover and then ask him personally.”
Lin Daiyu's watery eyes twirled a few tis on Sun Shaozong's face before pursing her lips and saying, "Since Second Brother Sun refuses to tell the truth, then I won't ask more questions.”
As she spoke, she gave another greeting and then went with the wind like a willow.
Tch!
This little girl was as shrewd as the next one. After all, she owed so worldly wisdom and understood it in her heart. She insisted on ntioning it before leaving. If she were to change into soone with a small heart, she might beco angry and ashad.
Sun Shaozong had just watched Lin Daiyu enter the flower hall when he saw a master and a servant coming out of it. It was Wang Xifeng and Ping’er.
But the master and servant raised their eyes on the steps and swept back and forth in the courtyard twice. Wang Xifeng stamped her embroidered shoes on the ground and angrily turned back into the room.
Seeing this scene, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but move his heart and casually pulled over a familiar steward to inquire about Jia Lian's whereabouts in a low voice.
When he heard that Jia Lian had been at ho in the past few days and had not gone out today, he was filled with a lot of schadenfreude. If there were no accidents, Jia Lian might have committed another Peach Blossom Evil.
It really caught Sun Shaozong's attention!
When Wang Xifeng sent him around, he took advantage of the situation and handled so trivial matters. He gasped and sweated profusely, so he took off the apricot-colored wrinkled skirt and the small clothes inside and prepared to take a shower before lying back in bed.
Unexpectedly, he had just inserted a leg like a white jade pillar into the bathtub filled with petals and suddenly heard Xiao Hong report outside that Baoyu had been beaten to death. Even the Old Lady was startled.
Upon hearing this, did Wang Xifeng still feel in the mood to bathe?
She hastily shouted at Ping’er to fetch a bath towel, wrap the warm water on her legs and so fine sweat on her body, and then change into a new one from inside out. She hurriedly rushed to the flower hall.
After eting Baoyu, Wang Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that although he had been beaten to the skin and flesh, it had not hurt the root cause.
However, as she relaxed, she suddenly discovered a strange thing happening both inside and outside of here. She couldn't even see a trace of Jia Lian!
It was said that Jia Lian was handling household matters in the front yard, so he should have received the news earlier than herself. How co he still hasn't been seen even though she has already arrived?
Wang Xifeng beca suspicious and took the opportunity to scan outside. Seeing even Sun Shaozong standing in the corner, but no trace of Jia Lian could be seen, the suspicion turned into a deep sense of unease.
But now it was not easy for her to withdraw, so she had to turn back.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw several maidservants and won trying to help Baoyu get up. She imdiately angrily shouted and cursed, "Things that don't have long eyes! Don't you take a look? Can Brother Bao still walk now? Hurry up and lift out that rattan drawer spring stool.”
A few sturdy won hurriedly carried the stool out of the room and used it as a temporary stretcher. They carried Baoyu to Old Lady Jia's room.
As she continued on the way, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but scan around. However, until Jia Baoyu was properly placed, she still couldn't see the figure of Second Master Lian. Was it because Second Master Lian was doing sothing treacherous? Otherwise, how could he have yet to receive any news?
With such thoughts, Wang Xifeng's heart beca increasingly agitated, coupled with the rush of the way, a fragrant sweat seeped out of her body, and her pink cheeks were even fiery red.
Everyone else paid attention to Jia Baoyu, but the big maid, Yuanyang, had the sharpest eyes. Seeing Wang Xifeng, it seed that she was not right, so she quickly whispered to Old Lady Jia.
“Daughter-in-law Lian.”
Old Lady Jia then wiped away her tears and complained, "You haven't recovered from this illness yet. What are you doing here with us? Hurry up, help your Madam back to rest.”
If it were a different day, Wang Xifeng would probably try to stay in charge.
But now she only wanted to find out what shaful pickle Jia Lian was doing, so she pushed the boat with the tide and let Ping’er and Xiaohong hold her and walk out of Old Lady Jia's yard.
Outside, Wang Xifeng pushed Xiaohong aside and ordered fiercely, "Go! Bring Zhou Rui and his wife to , and say our family has recruited thieves. Let him prepare sticks and ropes and go with to take the thieves.”
Previously, the couple had a conflict, and Ping'er had to persuade them with a few words. However, her heart was already tied to Sun Shaozong, and she was annoyed that Jia Lian had a conflict with Sun Shaozong the day before yesterday.
Therefore, instead of discouraging her, Ping'er reminded her, "In recent days, Xing'er has been leading soone to replant fruit trees in the garden. He has not been with the Second Master, but the matter of the Second Master can’t be concealed from him.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Xifeng ordered Zhou Rui not to rush over and to first go to the Grand View Garden to tie up that Xing'er.
