【4900, two-in-one】

"Let me tell you?"

In the corner of Lixiangyuan, Xiangling was holding a small dustpan, collecting freshly dried flower petals. After listening to Ying'er's request, her eyes widened in shock, and her palm-sized face was full of confusion.

For a moment, Ying'er was almost deceived by her "acting skills" and began to wonder if she had made a mistake.

However, the confusion on Xiangling's face soon turned into confusion, and after several attempts to speak but stopped, she still nodded and said, "Then you collect these petals for me, and I'll help you think of something."

With that said, he handed the dustpan to Ying'er and hurried out of the courtyard with a grimace.

This time it’s a real deal!

Xiangling's behavior was tantamount to openly admitting that she had an affair with Laishun. Otherwise, how could she accept such a request without saying a word?

With this thought in mind, Ying'er randomly collected the petals and piled them into the corridor, then hurriedly reported to Xue Baochai the latest development of the situation.

But when Baochai heard about the cause and effect, he believed it 100% in his heart, and then all kinds of sadness arose.

Since Zhou Rui and his wife went south to Guangdong and Guangdong, the status of the Lai family has increased. Not only has it consolidated Wang Xifeng's base, but it has also taken over many of Mrs. Wang's tasks.

The Xue family has many people they rely on for prosperity.

But Laiwang also tried his best and abided by his duties. He actually never reached out for anything he should take or shouldn't.

So much so that when Aunt Xue discussed in private, she often regretted that she had not brought Mr. and Mrs. Wang to marry into the Xue family. Otherwise, why would she have had to worry all day long about who should be entrusted to the family's property?

Recently, due to Lai Shunjuzhong's good management, the tire shop has been booming since it opened, and Aunt Xue praised Lai Shun and his son again and again.

Originally, based on the old friendship and the new enthusiasm, the two parties should have been close.

Pian's brother puts Lai Shun into trouble overtly and secretly, but secretly there is a dispute like Xiangling's that is constantly being cut and sorted out!

If something really happens, it's okay to turn against the family. If this puts Sister Feng and her aunt in a dilemma, wouldn't it ruin the relationship between relatives?

Thinking of this, Baochai even had the idea of ​​persuading her mother to move away from Rongguo Mansion.

But as soon as Baochai showed some confidence, Ying'er became anxious at the side.

She had just built a bridge with Xiren and Qingwen and was about to use it. If the Xue family moved out of Rongguo Mansion at this moment, wouldn't all their hard work be in vain?

And how can you give up the perfect match given by God so easily?

Now I was trying my best to find reasons to dissuade him.

"Girl, please think about it again."

I heard Yinger pointing her finger and saying: "If we move out from Rongguo Mansion, there are only two places we can go. One is my uncle's house, and the other is our old house in the capital."

"But now that my uncle is not in the capital, how can the relationship between these aunts and sisters be as convenient and casual as that between sisters?"

"As for our old house, it has been abandoned for a long time over the years. How can it be repaired in a short while? And the dozen or so men our family brought to the capital are not even enough to keep watch, in case a thief breaks in.

Go in, but what should I do?"

How could Baochai not know these shortcomings?

Even Ying'er's unspoken thoughts were clear to her.

Baochai sighed slightly, twirling her round fan and said, "If I do what you say, I'm afraid I'll have to report Xiangling's matter to my wife."

"this……"

Ying'er was stunned when she heard this, but she didn't understand the connection.

She hesitated and persuaded: "That girl may have some faults, after all, after all... Besides, we just asked her to help, how could we turn around and sell her away?"

"As the saying goes, if you continue to break, you will be disturbed."

Xue Baochai turned over the round fan embroidered with the Nine Heavenly Mysteries and patted it in the palm of his hand, and said seriously: "If we hadn't tried our best to hide it before, how could my wife have allowed my brother to go to the shop to provoke Na Laishun? Now we have to hide it again.

, I’m afraid that I don’t know what trouble will happen again!”

As she spoke, she softened her tone slightly and comforted Ying'er: "Relax, you don't know my wife's temper. She is the most soft-hearted one."

As she said that, she couldn't help but sigh, thinking that if her brother hadn't insisted on accepting Xiangling as a member of the house and promised the girl to come along, wouldn't it be a good marriage that has the best of both worlds?

I wonder if my own business will be able to receive some help from him in the future.

It's a pity...

But she said that her master and servant found Aunt Xue in the east room of the hall, leaning on the couch, and several maids took turns fanning her.

Although it was approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather was still oppressively hot, and Aunt Xue was the most uncomfortable with the cold. She always refused to use an ice basin to relieve the heat, so she only wore an aqua blue tube top skirt and a light yellow jacket.

The transparent gauze reveals a large area of ​​translucent skin.

Seeing that Baochai was coming, Aunt Xue raised an arm like a lotus root and waved: "My son, you have suffered a lot these days. Come to me and have a rest."

Baochai, however, walked aside and took the cattail leaf fan from the little maid.

Ying'er quietly made a gesture from behind, and all the little maids retreated.

Aunt Xue didn't realize it, but she still felt sorry for her daughter: "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, but there is your aunt and cousin outside to support you, so you don't have to work so hard."

"Don't worry, Mom, I'll take care of it."

As Baochai spoke, he leaned half of his body on the couch and said softly: "My daughter is here because she has something important to tell you."

While talking, Ying'er had already locked the door.

Aunt Xue realized it later, so she hurriedly turned her coquettish body over and sat up, took Baochai with her snow-white and smooth arms, and asked repeatedly: "My son, are you encountering some difficulties? Is it those few outside?

The lady in charge is..."

"Mother!"

Baochai saw that she had lost her mind for a moment, and hurriedly said straight to the point: "I am looking for you today to tell you about Xiangling?"

"What about Xiangling?"

Aunt Xue was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: "Why, are you finally willing to give her to your brother?"

"That's not it."

In order to avoid further interruptions from her mother, Baochai told the story about Xiangling and Laishun in a few words, and then said: "Today Ying'er tried her again, but I'm afraid it's a 100% problem."

"There is such a thing?!"

Aunt Xue was also very surprised, and then she blurted out and asked: "Has she ever been harmed by Lai Shun?"

"this……"

Baochai immediately blushed with embarrassment, glanced at Ying'er secretly, and then said coquettishly: "What did mother say? Did she have... How can my daughter know?"

Only then did Aunt Xue realize that something was wrong. She patted her daughter on the back and said sarcastically: "It's me who is confused. It's me who is confused."

After a pause, she continued: "But this matter must still be clarified. Let me check it out at night. If the Xiangling is still perfect, it would be best - restrain her for a few days and wait.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will decide to give her to your brother!"

"If there was ever such a thing as smuggling..."

At this point, Aunt Xue said with a bitter face: "I don't know how to explain it to your brother."

After a pause, she shook her head firmly: "That shouldn't be the case. Xiangling is a well-behaved and sensible child. Even if she does have an affair, it won't get messed up."

When Baochai heard this, he subconsciously opened his mouth, but in the end he did not express his thoughts.

If it depends on her, if Xiangling and Laishun are already a couple, it would be better to marry them, which would also bring Laiwang and his son closer to their own family.

only……

Although the Lai family is now superior to many relatives of the Jia family in terms of power, they are still nominally subordinates.

The mother might go against her brother's wishes for the sake of her "poor relative" appearance, but if it were a prominent slave like Laijia, she might not be able to show off her humiliation or be so cruel.

…………

Let’s go back and talk about Xiangling.

Although she left Lixiangyuan in a state of excitement, she was still at a loss as to why Ying'er thought she could talk to Laishun.

In fact, she originally wanted to find out what happened, but she was afraid that it would involve Shun and Siqi.

You must know that Ying'er kept saying the same thing every now and then, but she managed to keep this secret with great difficulty.

Therefore, after he hesitated to speak several times, he could only respond vaguely and went to seek help from Si Qi.

But when Xiangling arrived at Jia Yingchun's courtyard, she happened to see Xiuju and two little maids decorating the lanterns for the festival.

So she asked Xiuju about Siqi's location and went straight to the west wing.

Unexpectedly, when he pushed the door open and went in, he found that besides the chess player, there was also a woman with a big belly.

And the woman grabbed Siqi's arm and was putting a gold bracelet on Siqi's wrist.

Although Si Qi was struggling to resist, he seemed to be afraid of hurting the fetus in the woman's belly, so he had no strength in his hands. He seemed to be trying to resist but still welcome.

Seeing Xiang Ling suddenly barging in, the two of them were stunned for a moment, and then Si Qi quickly covered the bracelet with his sleeves and scolded him with a red head and face: "You little hooves, why did you come in without knocking on the door?"

!”

Xiangling also realized that she was being reckless and was speechless.
