The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 226: Abide According to the Destiny

When Sun Shaozong and Xu Shouye looked at each other, they didn't know how to face Xu Tai.

On the other side, Jia Yingchun, who was to be married at Rongguo Mansion, was also in a dilemma.

The original cause of the matter was that Jia Yingchun was moved to a corner of the western courtyard of Jia Shes house, where Cao Xueqin forgot about it and had to prepare for the wedding in a hurry on the ninth day of the lunar new year.

Although she was not in favor of the family, after all, she still bore the name of a Young Lady, and there were a lot of things in addition to the small and valuable ones. She has always been good-tempered, and the people below were naturally happy to work for her.

It took a long time to put things in order, seeing the people walking and scattering.

After the preparations were done, the house was finally deserted again. Jia Yingchun was relieved, but suddenly heard the big servant girl Siqi yelling, "Ah, Second Lady, the two beads of gold and phoenix given by Concubine Ruan Rong are missing! Who took the opportunity to take them away?"

Jia Yingchun immediately panicked again, thinking about the number of people just now. How could she find it easily?

For a moment, she just felt numb and forced a smile. "Look carefully so you can find it," she said. "It might not have been taken by someone. Maybe it is where we left off earlier."

In fact, in terms of appearance and figure, Jia Yingchun was second to none of the three sisters and might not even be inferior to Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai. It was a pity that this dull and afraid character had naturally erased her color.

"How can it be!"

Jia Yingchun was a submissive person, but the big servant girl in her yard, Siqi, has a strong personality. She was also a big and powerful person. Not to mention the average woman, even the men were not as powerful as her.

In addition, Siqi's grandfather and grandmother, Wang Shanbao and his wife, were also the most trusted stewards around Madam Wang, so they developed a strong temper. She was able to take charge of 80 percent of the major and minor affairs in Jia Yingchun's yard normally.

At this time, listening to Jia Yingchun's vague words, she knew that Jia Yingchun was about to let the matter go. She just stamped her feet angrily and said, "Those two golden phoenixes are your most precious jewels, Lady. I put them in a box this morning. How could they fall somewhere else?"

With that, she said angrily, "Second Lady, you are going to marry soon anyway. Are you still afraid of offending anyone? If you ask me, we can simply get revenge and throw out all the bad things, so you can marry the Sun family happily and comfortably!"

Jia Yingchun heard her speaking louder and louder, and her face was pale with fear. She quickly begged like a Buddha, "My Siqi, stop shouting. This is not like other places. What if I disturb the Master and Madam?"

Just by looking at the two people, could you even tell which was the Master and the Servant?

"Second Lady!"

Siqi stamped her foot in a hurry and trembled her chest. "We just have to make a big noise so that those bastards who are watching can know who the Master is in this courtyard!"

Jia Yingchun couldn't persuade her, so she had to close the doors and windows in a panic and felt that the voice couldnt be heard outside. She then said, "I think it's better to forget it. Anyway, after a few days, I won't be in the house anymore. There's no need to make any trouble for something like this..."

"Second Lady!"

Siqi became more and more hateful. She threw the jewel box heavily on the table, pursed her thick lips, and said, "I heard that Commander Sun is different from the Second Master. He loves to abuse women most! You are still bullied by servants here, how will you suffer when you marry over to the Sun family?"

Jia Yingchun tightened her shoulders when she heard the words and became weaker and more deceptive. After a long time, she hesitated in the eyes of Siqi, who was ready to rage. "Maybe... Maybe this is just a rumor. Besides, since the Sun family is our family friend, at least... at least they should also look at some aspects and treat me well."

In fact, she knew the truth about the marriage, but she didn't dare expose it. She only paralyzed herself with fantasies every day.

Thus, her mentality completely made Siqi lose confidence in her. Her face was black, and she suddenly gritted her white teeth, kneeling in front of her like a jade pillar.

At the sight of Siqis move, Jia Yingchun's first reaction was to step back in a panic and then ask in a trembling voice, "What are you doing?!"ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ N(o)vᴇl(ꜰ)ire.nᴇt

"Second Lady."

Siqi knocked her head on the ground, then straightened up and said, "I won't hide it from you now. I already gave my heart to others. I heard that Commander Sun is a lustful man. If I go over with your marriage, I won't be able to keep my innocence. Even if I can keep it, the person in my heart might not believe it."

Speaking of this, she knocked her head on the ground again. "So I beg you to leave me in this mansion, considering the effort and relationship after all these years!"

Hearing that she had already promised her heart to someone else, Jia Yingchun lost some blood on her white melon seed face and reluctantly leaned on the door, preventing her from collapsing directly to the ground. She said with a trembling voice, "How dare you... How dare you..."

Suddenly, she bit her white teeth again. "I didn't hear anything just now. Get up quickly and don't say this nonsense again!"

"Second Lady!"

Now that Siqi has made the matter clear, without her agreement, how could she be willing to get up?

So she knocked her head on the ground and said, "I don't ask for anything else, but just for this once. For the relationship of our Master and Servant these years, let me live!"

Jia Yingchun also broke down in tears after Siqi repeatedly forced her. She twisted her handkerchief and said sadly, "You only want to live for yourself, but... What about me? I can't even care about my marriage. Why should I care about you?"

After a pause, seeing that Siqi still refused to get up, she had to add another sentence, "Moreover, you have this big thing hidden in your heart. If I go to intercede for you to stay, once they find out about your matters, wont I be implicated too?"

"As I say, our lives are all set by God. Don't worry too much. Who knows that after marrying together with me to the Sun family, we will be able to enjoy our lives?"

Seeing such a time, she still fooled her with a matter that had no indications. Siqi knew that no matter how much she begged, it was useless. In despair, she couldnt help but cry.

Jia Yingchun finally sighed with relief after seeing this. She handed over the handkerchief in her hand and said timidly, "Cry quietly. Don't alarm the Master and Madam. Otherwise, if they ask about the reason, we explain clearly."

Siqi ignored her and cried even more.

Jia Yingchun sighed and said, "I know you are aggrieved in your heart, but fate assigned you to me. If you can't let the matter go, you can hit and scold me to release your anger."

As she said this, she couldnt help brainwashing Siqi's spirit and said with hope, "You have seen the Erlang of the Sun family, and they all said that he is a person who knows the limits. His brother may not be much worse. By then, I will ask to give you a Concubine identity..."

Before she finished speaking, Siqi suddenly jumped up, broke open the door desperately, and rushed out regardless.

Jia Yingchun was frightened and ran after her and asked, "What What are you doing?"

"Ill go find those two golden phoenixes with beads!"

Siqi left a sentence in hatred and ran straight away.

"You... You..."

Jia Yingchun ran after her for a few steps, but after all, she didn't dare to follow her. In the end, she sighed with dismay and muttered, "Forget it, let it be fate."
