Chapter 548 Chaos Night [Part 2]
When Yingchun and Xiuju were both shocked when they heard the scream from afar, but Tanchun was actually the one who was really scared.
She was hiding in the dark, thinking about whether to get closer. When she heard what the master and servant Yingchun were talking about, she suddenly heard a question coming from a distance behind her. Unpredictable, her scalp was numb.
Turning back stiffly and mechanically, he saw Caixia and Caiyun were carrying a lantern and standing two or three feet away from him.
"Second, why are the two sisters here?"
Tanchun complained secretly, but wondered why these two people appeared behind him.
You should know that because she was thinking about it, she had specially picked up the rarely visited path along the way. Now she is in a remote corner, with Caixia and Caiyun for no reason, but how could she appear here?
To explain this, you have to push the time back to two quarters of an hour ago.
Seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. Wang was worried that she would not be able to stop Jiao Shun when she was too late, so she hurriedly called Caixia and Caiyun and the other two, and ordered under the guise of worrying about her son: "I see Baoyu looks reluctant in the afternoon, so don't have hysteria again at the wine table. You go to Ouxiangxie to inquire. If there is anything wrong, come and report it to me."
After a pause, he added: "By the way, if the master and Mr. Jiao are drunk, the road is slippery and the road is slippery, so it's better than the last time I'll be able to rest in the living yard."
It's helpless to say that Mrs. Wang is not like Li Wan and Wang Xifeng, and there are people who know the truth around her. She is not able to do everything by herself. Therefore, on the one hand, she has to entrust the matter to the people below to do it, and on the other hand, she needs to find various reasons to try her best to cover up her true purpose.
He was obviously holding his depression and impulse, and he insisted on pretending to be careless. After saying that, he had to worry about Caixia again. Caiyun could not understand his intentions, and in the end he was useless.
The effort and energy spent on this repeated entanglement is the best in her life!
However, her final entanglement was a bit too much worry.
Caiyun may not be able to hear anything, but Caixia had long suspected that Mrs. Wang and Jiao Shun were a little confused because of Aunt Zhao. Now, when she took the initiative to ask Jiao Shun to stay in the Grand View Garden overnight, she had already guessed it.
Therefore, after receiving the order from the Qingtang hut, my heart felt like a turbulent river and sea.
After all, it is one thing to have suspicion, but it is another thing to be truly sure!
That is the biological mother of the second wife, the imperial concubine and Baoyu, and the most noble woman in Rongguo Mansion besides the old lady!
If it weren't for what I heard from myself, who would have believed that she was really having an affair with Jiao Shun, a family slave?!
This heart was full of thrilling about the private tragedy of the wealthy family. Caixia subconsciously felt that she was doing something shameful, so she led Caiyun all the way and focused on secluded paths, but she ran into a place with Tanchun, who was the same thoughtful one.
After hearing Tanchun's panic-like question, Caixia first calmed down her mood, and then replied: "It was the wife who told us to come and ask, see if the second master had any rudeness - what is the third girl here for?"
Although Tanchun felt that Caixia and Caiyun would appear here, there must be other reasons, but when Caixia asked again, she didn't care about thinking deeply, and hurriedly thought about it. She pointed at Yingchun in the distance, Xiuju said, "I just saw my second sister and Xiuju come here. Because I was worried that she would have made any mistakes, I followed her quietly."
Because of Yingchun's recent "disobedience" behavior, everyone in the whole house knew about it, so the two of them did not realize anything was wrong after hearing this.
At this time, Yingchun and Xiu Ju were also at a loss and were discussing whether to leave or stay. Suddenly, they saw the opposite side pointing towards this side, and knew that they were avoiding it, so they had to bite the bullet and stay where they were, waiting for the three people on the other side to come over.
As they got closer, they found that the people came were Tanchun and Caixia and Caiyun, and the master and servant became more and more nervous.
After all, the old lady had just entrusted the marriage between Yingchun and Sun Shaozu to Mrs. Wang to take charge, but Yingchun came to ask for the idea of "breaking off the engagement". If Mrs. Wang knew about it...
But immediately, Jia Yingchun, who was usually the most difficult to deal with these things, actually bit her lower lip and forced herself to calm down. She took the initiative to move forward two steps and greeted, "Why are the third sister and two sisters here?"
Although he had already escaped, Tanchun was still a little guilty after all, so he chose to remain silent and leave the initiative to Caixia and Caiyun.
Caixia said the surface intention, and was about to find out why Yingchun was here, but Yingchun said first: "I just felt depressed, so I went out for a walk with Xiuju. Since my sisters have something to do, I won't disturb you."
As he said that, he gave a slight gift, and then hurried away with Xiuju.
After watching the master and servants leave, Tanchun and Caixia, Caiyun looked at each other and sighed for a while: "The second sister really seems to have changed a different person now."
Caixia and Caiyun nodded one after another, and felt that the changes in Yingchun were huge.
However, thinking about Jia She's slutty actions, I think it's reasonable for the second girl to have such a change.
Tanchun said again: "Since the second sister is fine, I'll go back first."
As he said that, he said goodbye to Caixia and Caiyun in a reckless manner.
But she had just walked out not far, and suddenly she was stopped by someone again, but this person was Xiren, the eldest maid next to Baoyu.
Xiren came to Ouxiangxie for Baoyu. But on the way, he remembered the dilemma in his heart, so he hurriedly stopped the third girl and said, "After telling me about the plum blossom fan, I went back to discuss with the second master. The second master said that he would find out that it was from our yard, so he drove the person out directly, so as not to be embarrassed in front of the person."
"But I thought about it and always felt that this was not very safe. After all, this is not only a matter in our courtyard, but also related to so many sisters, not to mention that even Princess Nan'an has joined the club."
"If the girls are silently suppressed, they will definitely have to investigate again. If it is revealed in the end, it will seem that we are in a disadvantage..."
Her long discussion naturally felt that the leak of information in Yihongyuan was the most suspicious, so she wanted to find the three girls who were always independent and had the best of both worlds. It would be best to help Yihongyuan cover it up quietly, and to prevent the poetry club from pursuing this matter.
If it were another time, Tanchun might be able to give her some advice, but now she is in a mess and can’t figure out her own affairs. Where can I have time to give her ideas to Xiren?
At that moment, I just said perfunctorily: "Sister, don't worry, let me go back and think about it carefully. If there is a way, tell my sister--if it really doesn't work, it's better to let the second brother hand over the person. We brothers and sisters naturally have no taboos, but now there is still a princess in Nan'an, which makes people laugh at me for being unscrupulous, which is better than being regarded as deceiving as deliberately deceiving."
Xiren nodded slightly, thought about it for a while, and then looked up, he found that the three girls were empty and there was no trace of them.
She couldn't help but be shocked and thought to herself, what was going on with these three girls?
In the past, when there was something wrong in Yihong Courtyard, she was the most enthusiastic one. Why didn’t she even say a word more and then leave without saying goodbye?
And don't mention Xiren's doubts.
But Tanchun still frowned when she returned to Qiushuangzhai.
This time, she went to Ouxiangxie not only failed to achieve her goal, but instead indirectly proved her concern - but she was worried about Lin Daiyu at first, but she didn't expect that her second sister would also threaten her.
What about Xichun?
Will she...
For a moment, in Jia Tanchun's eyes, the Grand View Garden turned into a dark jungle. Countless visible or invisible opponents lurked in the jungle, and could emerge and compete with her for the only prey at any time.
This made her urgency reach a full value, and she increasingly hoped that she could finalize the matter of part-time affairs as soon as possible, and it would be best to get a written contract.
But she is an unmarried woman after all, and it is difficult to meet Jiao Shun in private - this can be seen today.
After thinking about it, she couldn't help but blame Wang Xifeng again. If the second sister-in-law hadn't appeared suddenly, she would have gotten what she wanted long ago!
but……
Tanchun thought about it again and felt that this might be an opportunity. If she and Wang Xifeng broke the story that happened that night, asked her to make a middle-aged man to make a conspiracy with both sides, and then set up an offensive and defensive alliance, wouldn’t it be possible to turn bad things into good things?
As for whether this will be done to "induce the wolf into the house", Jia Tanchun doesn't care much.
I have seen many things about three wives and four concubines on weekdays, and there are people like Jia She, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, and Jia Qiang as a set. She didn't believe that men would be loyal to women. If so, they would probably be the kind who had a thief heart but no courage. They would never be a brave person like Jiao Shun.
But she was willing to get a share with her second sister-in-law, but she didn't know what her second sister-in-law was thinking. She was a famous jealous person in the family. Thinking about the time when she dominated Brother Lian, even Ping'er's legitimate maid was excluded from being able to get close to Brother Lian.
If she had the intention to occupy the magpie's nest...
Thinking of this, Tanchun was a little confused for a moment.
As for the message passed by Aunt Zhao, she never thought from beginning to end that her biological mother had always been successful but not enough to make trouble. If she left it to her, she might even make a mistake.
…………
Let’s talk about Caixia and Caiyun.
After seeing Tanchun off, Caiyun took the initiative to propose: "Miss II said she was just walking around, but she was obviously stopping here. In my opinion, we should report it to our wife earlier - after seeing Miss Nian, it's time to get out of the box. If something ugly happens at this time, who can afford it?"
Compared to Tanchun, whom she had never noticed at the beginning, she knew more about the old things about Yingchun and Jiao Shun, so she was more worried that the two would rekindle.
Skip~
Is there still few scandals in this mansion?
Caixia didn't care, but felt that it was more convenient for Caiyun to act alone, so she nodded and said, "The old lady just entrusted the second girl to our wife, and she should indeed report her affairs to her as soon as possible - otherwise, I will stay here to inquire about the second master's affairs, and you will go back and report this to your wife first."
Caiyun naturally has no objection.
So the two separated, Caiyun returned to the hut of Qingtang, while Caixia pretended to find Jia Zheng's companion to find out if Baoyu had lost his composure during the banquet.
With Jia Baoyu's resistance, it is definitely impossible to say that he has not lost his composure at all.
However, with Jia Zheng insulted, he would only complain around the bush, and he would not dare to vent his emotions blatantly. He was even forced by Jia Zheng to open the draft of the memorial on the spot, and asked Jiao Shun for several questions.
The same thing is true. Although Jia Baoyu's talent and knowledge are not as good as those beautiful girls, he still deserves the word "smart". Even if he is reluctant, it is not difficult to understand this memorial. Many things can be said to be clear at a glance.
Unfortunately, after discussing a few political comments, he became obviously impatient and really wasted his talent.
Overall, the banquet finally made the guests and hosts have fun.
When Jiao Shun came out of Ou Xiangxie with three-point wine, he saw Caixia who had been waiting for a long time at a glance.
He hurriedly straightened his body, tried his best to act without any drunkenness, and shouted to Shuanzhu and replied... uh, come home.
If Caiyun stayed, he would probably stop after seeing this scene. After all, Mr. Jiao looked like he was fine. Ou Xiangxie was not far from Jiao's family. Wouldn't it be too much to keep him overnight in the living yard?
But Caixia knew Mrs. Wang's intentions very well, so even though she saw Jiao Shun's eyes clearly, she took the initiative to greet her and smiled and said, "Mr. Jiao, my wife asked me to bring you a few words, look..."
As he said that, he looked at the Shuanzhu beside him.
Seeing this, Shuan Zhu consciously retreated to the side before Jiao Shun could speak.
Seeing that there was no one else on the side, Caixia immediately called her: "Master, my wife doesn't know why, I want you to stay in the living yard."
Naturally, she had the intention of temptation to say this, after all, she could not be 100% sure about the affair between Jiao Shun and Mrs. Wang.
Jiao Shun had no intention of venting the truth with her. After all, it was Aunt Zhao who was tied to the same line as Caixia. If she really got some evidence and it would be heard by Aunt Zhao, the stupid woman would still make trouble.
He waved his hand and said impatiently: "Your wife is really concerned and confused. Since I promised to plan a future for Baoyu, I will definitely do my best to do it."
There was no flaw in this sentence, and Caixia was a little confused. She wanted to try it out a few more times, but Jiao Shun had already called Shuan Zhuang Chang away.
Caixia had no choice but to report back to Mrs. Wang.
Naturally, she didn't dare to say that she clearly saw that Jiao Shun was not interested in drinking, but she deliberately went up to test it. She only said that Mr. Jiao thanked his wife for his kindness, but insisted on going home.
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she felt aggrieved and resentful. How much thought did she have to be to renew her relationship tonight? Who would have thought that she would end up like this!
It would be fine if the other party was a self-disciplined person, but Jiao Shun teased Aunt Xue in every way, and he never cared about the other party's identity as his wife and mother.
Is it that I am really that much worse than my sister?!
Is it really not worth it at all?!
