The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion
Chapter 193: Can’t Hope to Incarnate into a MaleChapter 193: Can’t Hope to Incarnate into a Male
Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Jia Tanchun, Jia Xichun…
In addition to Jia Yingchun, the party concerned, Li Wan, who was "occasionally sick", and Wang Xifeng, who was busy with housework, all the beauties in Rongguo Mansion were gathered in Jia Baoyu’s yard.
Of course, even if nothing happened, they often gathered here.
Jia Baoyu walked back and forth in the living room with his hands on his back. When he passed Lin Daiyu, he suddenly paused and said, "How can Big Uncle be so confused, leaving Second Brother Sun, and giving Second Sister to Commander Sun?"
"Not to mention the age difference between him and Second Sister, but the fact that she will be married over as a continuation. It's not a good match to spend her lifetime."
He took a few more steps forward and said angrily, "I heard that he has a dozen concubines in his family. If anything is wrong with him, he will beat, scold, and even sell some to the brothel!"
"If you offend Brother Sun, it seems that he is such a sentimental, widowed, cruel, and inhumane person that he is not even fit to carry shoes for my Second Sister!"
After saying so many words in one breath, his chest heaved like a bellow.
Xue Baochai was afraid that he would be too angry, so she quickly took a cup of tea and put it in his hand, and advised him, "Calm down, this marriage is promised by Big Uncle. What’s the use of you shouting at the sisters?"
Tanchun sneered aside and said, "I heard that Big Uncle received 10,000 silver taels from others, but he was still greedy, which attracted the people from Prince Zhongshun’s' Residence."
"What?!"
Jia Baoyu has recently been "very powerful," and few dared to gossip in his ear, so the information he received was vaguer than others.
At this time, he heard that there was still such inside information, and immediately raged again, threw the cup on the table, and said angrily, "Isn't this selling daughters? When did the Rongguo Mansion fall into this category?"
"No, I have to go to find Big Uncle and talk some logic to him. Our family is not short of that 10,000 silver taels. It's better to return it in full!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe then rushed out of the yard.
"Come back!"
"What's your hurry?"
"Don't monkey around!"
The women were shocked and came forward with all their hands and legs, finally stopping Jia Baoyu.
Lin Daiyu then said angrily, "There is no shortage of silver in the mansion, but there is a shortage of silver for Big Uncle. What can you do by arguing with him like this, except to bring trouble to Second Sister?"
Xue Baochai also said, "If only it were both of our families, returning the silver would be natural, but now that Prince Zhongshun’s Residence has also participated in it, wouldn't the return of the silver hit the face of Prince Zhongshun?"
Seeing that Baoyu was still a little dissatisfied, Xue Baochai added, "Is that ridiculous Prince so easy to provoke? If he is really angry, even the Imperial Concubine in the palace will be implicated."
This remark just hit Jia Baoyu's soft spot. Although Jia Yingchun has some sisterhood with him, how could he compare her with his biological sister, Jia Yuanchun?
Besides, if he tried to save Jia Yingchun from the bitter sea by implicating his sister, that was fine.
But after his experience, how could Jia Baoyu not know that this matter was almost a foregone conclusion and would not change because of his willfulness?
With such thinking, Jia Baoyu sat down on the soft couch.
As soon as the sisters saw this, they were relieved. Unexpectedly, he immediately bounced back and swore, "Why don't I go beg Second Brother Sun and promise him to give him Second Sister? It's not humiliating for Second Sister to be with Second Brother Sun!"
Hearing his whimsical remarks again, all the women didn't know how to respond.
Only Lin Daiyu was a little annoyed and said, "Not to mention whether your idea would be successful. Just say that my god-sister was pregnant and is about to have a baby. At this time, you forced marriage for Second Brother Sun, won’t you make her upset?"
Seeing Lin Daiyu speak, Xue Baochai also said, "Assistant Prefectural Sun was brought up by his brother, but now you want to encourage him to fight with his brother for his wife? I'm afraid there is no such reason!"
One by one, they talked back about what Jia Baoyu said. He lowered his head and they didn’t know what he was thinking about. Then he suddenly got up and walked out.
Xue Baochai hurriedly asked, "Brother Bao, what are you doing?"
"Go to the study and review the lessons!"
Jia Baoyu left without turning back and went straight away.
Review the lessons?!
The women stared at each other, thinking that there was something wrong with their ears.
"Amitabha."
In a moment, Xue Baochai put her hands together and said, "Brother Bao finally knows how to make progress. If he can succeed in learning later, you can count on him when several sisters in the family marry out."
Lin Daiyu was also very happy to see ”Brother Bao” taking the initiative to make progress, but she was a little depressed to see Xue Baochai's action.
When the news reached Wang Xifeng's ears, her first thought was that with this relationship, it would be the best choice to do business with the Sun family!
In fact, since Sun Shaozong's words were relayed to her, Wang Xifeng seemed to suddenly see the sun in the clouds. People with money, loan sharks, and people who worked hard and worried all day long—how could it be compared to a straightforward person who just needed to mention a name and then just wait to share benefits?!
But she was not only a little worried about the Sun family but also felt that there was no need to benefit from the Sun family.
So in the past few days, she calculated her parents' family, her husband's family, and even Aunt Xue's family several times to find a more suitable partner.
However, Wang Ziteng was forbidden to do business with his family. His eldest brother, Wang Ren, was a wooden head who didn’t know how to change.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs for her husband's family, if it had been before, it was fine. If she revealed this matter to the others, she would have to make up the deficit in the public account first.
By the way, although the investigation of corruption cases has found nearly 300,000 silver taels, the deficit of the Rongguo Mansion was one million silver taels!
Even if Daiyu didn't mention the 600,000 silvers, she still owed the Xue family more than 100,000 silvers.
As for the Xue family, just looking at their family's business going downhill, the yearly profit could have been better year by year, and she knew that this lucrative business must not be handed over to his family.
So after thinking about it, the Sun family was more suitable.
Especially after the marriage between the two families…
"Second Madam."
While pondering the way to make money, Ping’er came in and reported, "The Second Master just sent a message that he would come back for the night."
"He still knows to come back!"
Wang Xifeng bit her silver teeth and stroked her belly subconsciously. She thought it was not the right time for this fool to come back. He chose to come back at the time of her monthly menstruation. It seemed that she could only sleep in separate beds at night.
In this way, when Jia Lian has enough rest at home, wouldn't he have to go outside to play with other women?
With this in mind, she looked at Ping’er up and down. She said with a little reluctance, "It's good for you. I'm not fit today. You can spend the night with the Second Master today. Treat it as a reward for the risk you took on that day."
Unexpectedly, when Ping’er heard this, she hurriedly said, "I think it's all right. I'm not comfortable today. It's probably due to me visiting the Big Madam and catching some cold, I dare not pass it on to the Second Master!"
"How sick have you been?"
Wang Xifeng said suspiciously, "Why didn't I see it?"
Ping’er was more and more flustered when she stared at her. She bit her silver teeth and suddenly knelt in front of Wang Xifeng. She bowed her head and said, "How did the Second Master treat you recently? I feel the same too. My heart has… has turned cold, and... I am also a little tired of that matter."
Hearing what she said ”sincerely,” Wang Xifeng also felt sad for a while, and sighed quietly, "Get up first. I hope God will bless us and let us sisters have a good man in the next life!"
