Three concubines need to be comforted. Sun Shaozong couldn't spare a mont to pay attention to a small servant girl, especially if it was still soone else's favorite.
So it wasn't until the next morning, when he was about to leave, that he suddenly rembered this matter.
So he quickly asked soone to call Qingwen.
“Second Master.”
Although Qingwen respectfully called out the Second Master, her expression showed so stiffness. It was obvious that this arrogant servant girl was still angry about yesterday's incident.
It was no wonder that she has always been conservative in this regard. Even Jia Baoyu, her sweetheart, has never taken advantage of her. However, yesterday she was just replacing the wet nurse to coax the child, and her pure and white body was visible.
How could she not be upset?
“Yesterday I was in a hurry to take care of the child, but I didn't expect you to be waiting in that room." Sun Shaozong casually explained and said, "Coincidentally, I'm going to visit Rongguo Mansion today. Have you ever had any ssages to pass on to Brother Bao?”
The previous words didn't make Qingwen react much, but as soon as she heard the words ”Rongguo Mansion and Brother Bao,” her stiff face imdiately dissipated. She pinched her handkerchief several tis and hesitated to speak. Finally, she carefully considered each word and said, “If he asks about , just say that I am doing well.”
This was sentintal.
It was clear that she wished to return to Baoyu's side imdiately, but only when Baoyu asked could she give such a painless explanation.
However, Sun Shaozong just wanted to be a favor along the way, so as not to leave a heart knot in yesterday's incident. Seeing that she had nothing else to say, he went to the front yard and called for the coachman, Zhang Cheng, to drive to Rongguo Mansion.
In fact, it was reasonable to say that Sun Shaozong should go to the Yan first today and handle his accumulated official duties properly.
However, half a month ago, he was planning to visit Rongguo Mansion and urged Jia Zheng to quickly handle the matter of Jia Lan's apprenticeship so as not to delay his ”son's” studies after Jia Zheng was released.
Now that half a month has passed, Jia Zheng might leave the Capital and take office at any ti. How could Sun Shaozong dare to delay further?
When he arrived at Rongguo Mansion, Sun Shaozong told Jia Zheng about this matter, and it left Jia Zheng both disappointed and ashad.
Disappointed, he originally thought that Sun Shaozong was in a hurry to co to see him because the Crown Prince or His Majesty had sothing to say that Sun Shaozong had to secretly convey.
To his sha, he neglected to take care of Jia Lan's mother and son, and it was not as comprehensive as an outsider thought.
“Sha, I'm really ashad.”
Jia Zheng shook his head and said, "These days, the family is in chaos, and the court situation is also dark and difficult to understand. I forgot about Lan’er for a while. If it weren't for you who took the initiative to bring it up, I might have been delayed for several years after I was released.”
As he spoke, he stood up and bowed deeply, saying, "Don't worry, dear nephew. Within a day or two, I will personally co to the academy to hire.”
Sun Shaozong quickly replied, "There's no need for you to go there personally, Uncle. Just let Brother Bao go and...”
“That’s right.”
Before Sun Shaozong could finish speaking, soone outside the door intervened and said, "If it weren't for my son causing trouble, how could Lan’er's matter have been delayed until today? It's ti for to make ands and atone for my mistakes.”
As he spoke, he saw Jia Baoyu co in from outside, looking ashad and saying, "I'm an Uncle, but I don't have the mindset that you think of yet, Brother Sun. It's embarrassing.”
Jia Zheng was originally full of sha, but as soon as he saw his son co in from outside, he imdiately straightened his back and sneered disdainfully, "Redemption for your achievents? I just hope you can create fewer evil obstacles; it's considered Thanksgiving.”
“I have changed.”
“Changed? Today is the day when ethnic school starts, but you ca here to wander.”
With just a few words, Jia Zheng blew his beard and glared, almost adding punches and kicks.
Sun Shaozong hurriedly advised, "Uncle, calm down. Since Brother Bao has the intention to make up for his mistakes, it's better to leave this matter to him. I happen to have so trivial matters to talk to him so that I won't bother you for now, Uncle.”
As he spoke, he led Baoyu out of the Rongxi Hall.
After leaving the hall, Jia Baoyu lowered her head and remained silent until he walked half a mile away and looked at the rippling pond in the distance. Then he sighed in frustration and said, "Ah, it's clear that there was a gap between their husband and wife, but my mother was angry and took it out on my servant girl. My father was angry and took it out on again. But when will these days be considered the end?”
No wonder Jia Zheng's intense anger escalated the cold war between his emotions and Old Madam Wang.
Sun Shaozong was about to comfort Baoyu with a few words, but unexpectedly, he suddenly changed his tone and shouted, "By the way, can Qingwen still get used to living at your house? She has a straight temper. If she occasionally shows a little temper, I beg you to take it easy.”
Looking at this urgent appearance, Qingwen didn't miss him in vain.
“She…”
“Hmph!“
Sun Shaozong was about to paraphrase Qingwen's words when he heard a cold hmph from before and instinctively followed the sound. However, not far away, under the weeping willow, he saw a seductive woman wearing red makeup and powder on her face.
Sun Shaozong took a closer look and then asked with so uncertainty, "Is that Second Brother Lian?”
“Hmph!”
When the man let out another proud snort, he ignored Sun Shaozong and twisted away.
This…
Although Jia Baoyu used to love putting on makeup and wearing red clothes, it could be said that his deanor was still his true nature, but now, Second Master Lian...
If it weren't for his Adam's apple, Sun Shaozong would have thought that the person in front of him was soone from a kiln who impersonated him!
“Second Brother Lian has been... Lately…”
Looking at Jia Lian's swaying figure, Jia Baoyu was also full of strangeness. He intended to cover up a few words for Jia Lian but hesitated for a while, but he hadn’t figured out where to start.
“Soone fell into the water, soone fell into the water!”
“Co on, co on, co on!”
At this mont, in the corridor next to the pond, soone suddenly scread. Sun Shaozong and Jia Baoyu looked out from afar and saw the waves surging in the pond as if soone were struggling with their hands and feet!
“Oh no!”
Baoyu let out a loud cry and was just about to rush over to see what was happening. Sun Shaozong, like a fierce tiger pouncing on food, rushed to the pond like a flying tiger. Without saying a word, he jumped into the water with a splash.
When Jia Baoyu rushed to the corridor, panting heavily, Sun Shaozong rescued the drowning person.
“Thank you, my Second Brother.”
Jia Baoyu gave a breathless thank you and looked at the drowning person's face, but couldn't help but exclaim out loud, losing his voice and saying, "Jinchuan! How could it be... How could it be her?”
