While Jia Baoyu was weeping at Jiao's house, the ridiculous things he did that night had quietly spread.

After all, this time was different from the previous haircut. It was done without covering up and directly exposed to the public.

As a result, it only took two days. Except for the deaf and blind, almost everyone in the Forty-Nine City heard about the second master Bao of Rongguo Mansion. In addition to his newly married wife, there was also a "dead wife" named Qin Zhong.

What’s even more ridiculous is that this so-called deceased wife was actually a beautiful young man who died young!

In the evening two days later.

Jiao Shun Sanya arrived at Taohua Lane. As soon as he entered the door, he heard Zijuan ask: "Sir, is the rumor that Second Master Bao is mourning his deceased wife Qin Zhong at Xue's house true or false?!"

Jiao Shun did not answer hastily, but turned to look at Lin Daiyu, and saw that she was holding a teacup and pouring tea for herself as if nothing had happened. However, the intermittent tea at that time clearly exposed her concern about this matter.

.

The two of them had previously agreed that neither of them would mention Jia Baoyu again, but this matter was really a curiosity in the world, so it was no wonder that Sister Lin couldn't help but adopt a roundabout strategy to find out.

He shook his head and said: "If a young man drinks too much, what ridiculous things can't he do? Now his intestines are blue because of regrets."

This seems to be an excuse for Baoyu, but in fact it confirms the matter.

After hearing this, Lin Daiyu finally stopped pretending to pour tea - mainly because the tea had already emerged - turned her head and sighed quietly: "Sister Bao usually seems easy-going and generous, but she is actually a very strong person at heart, but she doesn't want to be challenged.

The Hundred Choices ended up in this situation."

She has always been a little concerned about her status as a concubine, but now when she looks at Baochai's ridiculous and sad marriage, she no longer feels inferior.

At the same time, she was also particularly satisfied with Jiao Shun's abiding by the agreement and being able to bear not mentioning it to her even though he had witnessed such dirty information about Bao Yu.

You know, even she couldn't help but let Zijuan insinuate her!

"Let's talk about this."

Since the agreement had actually been broken, Jiao Bian continued: "Actually, it still has something to do with the letters you wrote back then."

As he said this, he explained in detail that Baoyu was so addicted to "Farewell My Concubine" that he couldn't help himself, that he substituted himself as Duan Xiaolou, and that Qin Zhong was regarded as Cheng Dieyi.

Daiyu couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes after hearing this, and exclaimed in shock: "Is it possible that he has lost his mind? The wife of that small building is a prostitute. If he compares himself to himself like this, isn't he insinuating Sister Bao..."

"He probably didn't think much about it."

Jiao Shun spread his hands: "It's a good thing that the story hasn't spread yet, otherwise the couple will become more and more laughing stock."

Lin Daiyu remained silent.

She has always been a sharp-tongued person, and she originally thought that Baochai was in such a predicament because of her own fault. But now that she heard that it was related to her, she felt uneasy.

Use yourself to save others. If you are in that situation, you may wish you could die together with Baoyu, so you can relieve the hatred in your heart!

But Xue Baochai could only endure the humiliation in shame for the sake of her family...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask: "How is Sister Bao doing now?"

"Not sure."

Jiao Shun shrugged and said: "I heard that Baoyu is shut up at home every day - but I guess if Baoyu is shut out for two more days, the second wife will be unable to sit still. By then, maybe we will know what she thinks.

Already."

"Alas~"

Daiyu sighed quietly, but Jiao Shun pulled her into his arms and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, why bother worrying about other people's things? I have been busy these days and it's easy to have some free time, so I might as well just do it

Don’t eat at home, let’s go to a restaurant tonight!”

Sister Lin didn't say anything.

But when the evening was over, she brought up the matter again, huffing and puffing, and prepared to edit a letter and contact Baochai again.

"Although it was an accident, I was the one who told her the story after all. Now that the situation is like this, it's better to pretend to be deaf and dumb."

Jiao Shun shook his head after hearing this: "If you say so, then I started the story. Since it has been cut off, why bother adding more branches?"

After a pause, he added: "Unless you still want to complete the book "Farewell My Concubine"."

"this……"

Lin Daiyu naturally hopes to complete it. In fact, she is still trying to complete the storybook independently until now. However, with the perfect combination of the previous pieces, no matter how hard she works alone, she always feels that it is not perfect enough.

but……

Now, asking Sister Bao to continue writing books, wouldn't it be the same as adding salt to her wounds?

"You can't say that."

Jiao Shun helped analyze carefully: "I heard that before she transferred those letters to Baoyu, she made a copy of them for the record. She obviously regretted this - of course, you just wrote to contact her directly.

, and it is indeed not appropriate.”

He pretended to think for a while and then said: "How about... I come forward to recognize this story?"

"Recognize it?"

Lin Daiyu was a little confused at first, then suddenly raised her upper body while supporting Jiao Shun's chest, and said with her beautiful eyes wide open: "You, you want to clarify things with her?!"

"Be careful of catching a cold."

Jiao Shun fixed her to his chest again, and then continued: "Actually, the reason why she sent people to follow Lao Xu that time was because she was afraid that you would show up halfway and ruin her and Baoyu's good things - but if she knew that we

Naturally, we won’t worry about this anymore because of our relationship.”

After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed Daiyu on the forehead, and asked with a smile: "And now that she has fallen into this state, are you still worried that she will laugh at you?"

Lin Daiyu was silent.

The reason why she doesn't want people to know her current situation is naturally because the identity of the foreign minister is shady, but compared with Xue Baochai's current situation, it is only half a pound at most, and she even has the upper hand.

As for whether Baochai will leak this matter...

Just because the Jia and Xue family depended so much on the Jiao family, she would never be able to do this.

After a long while, Sister Lin sighed helplessly: "In the past, I envied her more than once for having a mother and brother to rely on, but now it seems that this is not a shackles."

Hearing this tone, Jiao Shun knew that she had agreed, and couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This way, as long as you secretly model the time sequence, you don't have to worry about revealing the secret in front of Baochai, which will cause trouble.

It's the ninth day of the lunar month.

Before Jiao Shun could pretend to go to Xue's house to get patched up, Mrs. Wang came in a simple car.

She actually didn't expect Baoyu to win back Xue Baochai's heart, but she never expected that it would be useless. She only lasted for two days before she gave up and huddled motionless in the guest house of Jiao's family.

She had no choice but to come to the door in person and put aside her old face to apologize to Aunt Xue and Baochai.

But this time Aunt Xue was really angry. She refused to give in even to her own sister, and even refused to let Baochai come out to see her.

As a result, the two sisters became more and more at odds with each other, and eventually they had an unprecedented quarrel and broke up.

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she forgot to call Jia Baoyu, so she rushed back to Rongguo Mansion angrily, and even got sick when she got home.

…………

It was also on this day that this ridiculous and ridiculous joke finally reached the palace.

The queen marveled at this. Even though she had such a beautiful sister, she didn't expect to have such a stupid brother. Fortunately, when he was often called into the palace, many people in the palace praised him.

"There's nothing strange about it."

Concubine Wu saw it clearly this time and curled her lips and said: "Jia Baoyu has a good appearance and is valued by the emperor. Those who watch people order dishes will naturally support him."

As he said this, he couldn't help but gloat: "Thankfully, she has always been known for being shrewd, but she didn't want such a joke to happen to her family. I'm afraid there will be a good show this time."

"Don't mess around!"

After hearing this, the queen quickly reminded: "I will have to rely on her in the future, and I must save some face for her."

"I don't care, but if others say it, we can't care."

As Concubine Wu expected, there were quite a few concubines and slaves who gossiped, and the one who jumped the most was Concubine Rong. At most, others only talked about her behind her back, and she even went to the Qianqing Palace to talk about it.

Jia Yuanchun naturally would not react in any way to this.

In fact, she had already noticed that half of this was due to Concubine Rong's deep-rooted hostility towards her, and the other half was probably Concubine Wu's deliberate connivance - otherwise Concubine Rong would never have dared to be so arrogant.

To be honest, many of Concubine Wu's actions are truly speechless.

On the one hand, he tried to win over himself to prepare for the crown prince's ascension to the throne, but on the other hand, he was always jealous that he could participate in political affairs.

On the one hand, he not only forgave Concubine Rong and took her with him, but on the other hand, he kept humiliating her.

This is clearly a recipe for disaster!

Not to mention her, Yuanchun was deeply disappointed in Baoyu's ridiculous behavior.

It was said at first that this younger brother would become a great person when he was born with a jade in his mouth. He was also very smart when he was a child. I thought that in the future, everyone would rely on him to maintain the family. However, whoever expected it turned out that the older he got, the less useful he became.

Now let alone expect him to be able to keep the door open and not cause trouble and implicate his family, it is already a blessing.

Although he was extremely disappointed with him, he was his own brother after all, and he still had to take care of what he should take care of. At least he couldn't just sit back and watch things continue to be deadlocked, making his family a laughing stock for a long time.

So Yuanchun quickly awarded the reward. In the letter sent home with the reward, there was no mention of Jia Baoyu's actions in the Xue family. He only said that he was returning to Ning to visit relatives this time. Firstly, he wanted to visit the old lady's condition, and secondly, he wanted to visit the old lady.

Just to meet the bride.
