Chapter 398: Love and Sorrow Hidden the Root of Evil
After Jia Lian left, Jia's mother discussed the matter with her two daughters-in-law. She was still angry. Add to that Baoyu moaning from time to time in the inner room, and Jia's mother was even more worried and kept complaining about the unrest in the family.
As they were talking, Ping'er came out to report that Wang Xifeng had regained consciousness and had drunk some nourishing medicine [prepared for Baoyu], and now seemed to be in good spirits.
Upon hearing this, Grandmother Jia hurriedly took everyone to visit Wang Xifeng.
After entering the room, he saw Wang Xifeng leaning on the couch with tears in her eyes. She was no longer as energetic and decisive as usual. He burst into tears again and hugged Wang Xifeng, calling her "darling" and "meat".
Wang Xifeng was also feeling aggrieved, so she took the opportunity to burst into tears.
Grandmother Jia waited until she was tired of crying, then handed her a handkerchief and said with a kind smile, "All right, all right, you will feel much better after crying. Actually, according to me, this matter is nothing!"
"Children are greedy like cats, and families like ours are not short of pretty girls. He spends all day hanging around in this pile of women, so it's inevitable that he can't help himself. Who among us didn't go through this when we were young?"
After a pause, he continued, "It's wrong for him to be jealous, but isn't it because of your love for him? If it was that unrelated woman, why would he be so upset?"
Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang also followed suit to persuade her.
Wang Xifeng forced herself to give a wry smile, but secretly her heart had already turned cold.
Because Jia Lian had said similar things many times in the past few days, he had just coaxed me into relaxing my guard, and then he fooled around with Bao Er's wife behind my back, and even criticized me severely in his words.
Although Wang Xifeng also knew that this was somewhat intended to please Bao Er's wife.
But who is Bao Er’s wife?
She was just a pretty foolish woman, and to please her, he casually humiliated himself. Doesn't this mean that all the previous courtesy and attentiveness of Jia Lian were just to deceive himself? !
Thinking about the fact that not only did he chase her with a sword, but he also turned around and accused her of having an affair with Sun Shaozong, Wang Xifeng felt even colder to the bone, and all the love they had as husband and wife was gone at once.
Hearing what Lady Jia said about whether she was jealous or not, an idea suddenly occurred to him: Instead of bearing these suspicions again and again, it would be better to make it true and let him become a real bastard !
However, this thought only flashed through her mind, and was then suppressed deep in Wang Xifeng's heart.
But when Lady Jia saw that Wang Xifeng was also smiling, she hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I'll ask him to come and apologize on your behalf tomorrow. You just stay here with me and take good care of yourself. Don't say a word to him. We'll embarrass him!"
Everyone burst into laughter again.
Ping'er, who was standing nearby, heard this and hurriedly called Xiaohong [Lin Hongyu] over, asking her to go home and get some clothes to change into, as well as the medicine that Wang Xifeng had been using recently.
After receiving the instructions, Xiaohong left Lady Jia's courtyard and hurried to the back.
Just as I was almost home, someone caught up with me from behind and called me Miss Lin, Miss Lin.
Xiaohong stopped and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Jia Yun, who was missing an arm, chasing after her with a smile on his face.
Seeing that it was Jia Yun who was catching up with her, she first frowned, bowed expressionlessly, and then said coldly: "I am of such status that I really don't dare to be called a 'girl' by you. Besides, I have some work to do here, so please do as you please."
Having said this, he hurried into the house without caring about Jia Yun's reaction.
If it were in the past, Lin Hongyu would be so happy to know that Jia Yun was in love with her, but now...
Even if she is not picky, she will never marry a disabled man!
But when Jia Yun saw her graceful figure disappearing behind the door, he was suddenly depressed.
But he was an indomitable man after all. He touched the gold hairpin in his sleeve that he had bought at a high price, and immediately mustered up his courage. He walked close to the wall and approached the gate of the courtyard, wanting to wait for Lin Hongyu to come out so that he could stop her and confide his heart to her.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, I heard hurried footsteps coming from inside.
Jia Yun looked out and saw Lin Hongyu carrying several bundles and running out with difficulty. He was delighted again and thought of an excuse to help her so that he could have a few words from his heart.
Seeing that Lin Hongyu had already reached the door, Jia Yun hurriedly straightened his clothes and was about to jump out to stop his beloved, but suddenly he heard someone drunkenly shouting, "You little rascal, carrying so many things, are you trying to run away with them?!"
It turned out that Jia Lian felt very suffocated after coming out of the old lady's room. After returning home, he poured himself half a pot of aged wine in the inner study.
The alcohol was getting to him, and even the unreasonable things became reasonable. What's more, he felt that Wang Xifeng was making a big deal out of nothing and ruining his reputation.
So he came out of the study drunk, intending to provoke another fight.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he saw Lin Hongyu walking out with a lot of bags, and Jia Lian scolded her casually.
Lin Hongyu was taken aback by this sudden shock. Seeing Jia Lian coming out of the study with red eyes, she bowed and said hurriedly, "My Lord, I came back to get something at the old lady's request."
She knew that Ping'er had just offended Jia Lian, so she simply lied and said that she was following the old lady's orders.
Who knew that Jia Lian didn't even listen to her explanation. He just looked her up and down with sleepy eyes, and saw that Lin Hongyu was covered with bags and her skirt was pressed very close to her body, revealing her curvy figure. With her youthful and pretty face, wasn't she a hundred times better than Bao Er's wife?
Jia Lian's unresolved anger immediately burned into his brain. He took a few steps forward, sniffing the scent of powder on Lin Hongyu's body, and laughed, "This... this is really dark under the lamp. I have been looking for you, but... I have missed you! Come on, let me carry you!"
As he spoke, the claw stretched out and went straight to Lin Hongyun's chest.
Lin Hongyu's face immediately turned red with embarrassment, and she knew that Wang Xifeng had just become jealous, so how could she dare to hook up with him at this time?
She quickly took a half step back and said in a trembling voice, "Second Master, please don't embarrass me. If Second Madam knew about this, I'm afraid she would skin me alive!"
When Jia Lian heard the word "Second Wife", he spat and cursed, "How can that bitch... control me? Don't be afraid of her. Today... today I accept you, and tomorrow I will make you my concubine. I guarantee that you will be a hundred times more glorious than...than that traitorous Ping'er!"
If it were any other time, Jia Lian's words would certainly not have appeased Lin Hongyu, but today, when she heard that Jia Lian had shown his power and chased Wang Xifeng away with a sword, she secretly looked at Jia Lian with a different eye.
Plus the promise of "being a hundred times more glorious than Ping'er", it was exactly what Lin Hongyu had always hoped for!
So she hesitated for a moment.
Who is Jia Lian?
He was used to hanging around in the entertainment circles, and although he was drunk, he could see Lin Hongyu's struggle and heartbeat, so he unceremoniously hugged her in his arms, calling her "wife" and "madam".
Lin Hongyu was born as a servant in Rongguo Mansion, but had she ever been "honored" like this by a proper master?
For a moment, her delicate and innocent body became as soft as mud, and she was half-heartedly coaxed into the study by Jia Lian.
Touch~
Just as the door was closed heavily, Jia Yun outside the door punched the wall heavily!
Just now, he saw Lin Hongyu being teased by Jia Lian, and was thinking about how to help her out without bringing disaster to both of them. Who would have thought that after just a few words, Jia Lian had persuaded Lin Hongyu to do something!
Thinking of his secret love and obsession for the past few months, Jia Yun was filled with hatred, his eyes were bloodshot, and he rushed into the courtyard with his hair standing on end. When he reached the door of the study, he raised his foot to kick it open.
"don't want !"
Unexpectedly, a cry came from inside, which was like a pour of cold water on Jia Yun's head, and it brought Jia Yun back to his senses.
Even if I broke in, what could I do to Uncle Lian? How dare I do anything to him?!
Thinking of this, Jia Yun no longer had the intention to kick the door. He just touched the golden hairpin in his arms, feeling unwilling to leave like this.
As she was hesitating, she heard Lin Hongyu say shyly, "Please be gentle, Second Master. This is my first time..."
Then Jia Lian laughed obscenely: "You think it's too light now, but later you'll be afraid that I won't do it hard enough!"
Then there were sounds of cloth tearing.
"Second Master, don't tear it!"
Then Lin Hongyu said anxiously: "I can take it off myself..."
After a while of rustling, Jia Lian praised: "She is indeed a beauty. Come on, open your legs and let me take a closer look..."
Hearing this, Jia Yun felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. He exerted force with his hand suddenly, and the golden hairpin pierced his forearm, causing blood to gushed out.
It was precisely because of this piercing pain that he finally gritted his teeth and staggered away with a heart full of resentment!
