Chapter 420: Rongguo Mansion at Night (Part 2)
Oops!
Wrong person!
However, Sun Shaozong grabbed the woman's chest and abdomen and immediately realized something was wrong - how could there be another woman in the pavilion on the top of the mountain at this late hour!
Could it be that they are also wild mandarin ducks waiting for a secret meeting with their lover?
This is really a coincidence!
Fortunately, I hugged her secretly from behind and did not reveal my identity in my words just now. All I had to do was knock her out first and then run away.
Sun Shaozong's mind raced and his hands moved quickly. He immediately pushed the woman in his arms onto the stone table in the middle of the pavilion, holding her firmly with his body. He then raised his hand to the acupuncture point on the back of her neck, ready to cut her with a knife.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the woman suddenly cried out in a trembling voice: "Master Sun, please don't misunderstand me. I... I am not Ping'er!"
She actually recognized her identity?
And from the sound of it, she even knew about my affair with Ping'er!
Sun Shaozong's brain suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.
He was stunned for a long while, and when he saw the woman struggling fiercely, especially when her buttocks hit his legs a few times, he suddenly realized that this posture was easy to cause misunderstanding, as if she was forcing a "good thing" to happen.
So he shrank back, but still held the woman's slender waist, and asked calmly: "Who are you? Why are you here? How do you know the relationship between me and Ping'er?!"
The woman felt that Sun Shaozong took a half step back and no longer pressed against her body tightly. The panic in her heart was relieved a little, and she said hurriedly: "I am the mandarin duck beside the old lady, just now..."
It turned out that Ping'er's idea was to entrust the matter of choosing a son-in-law to Sun Shaozong - after all, Yuanyang was an insider, so doing so would not be considered exposing her secret.
And if I could marry her off, it would be like getting rid of a worry in my heart.
She shared this idea with Yuanyang, and Yuanyang was very straightforward. Instead of being pretentious, she took the initiative to request a meeting with Sun Shaozong.
First, she wanted to express her gratitude to Sun Shaozong in advance; second, she had some requests in her heart and wanted to discuss them in person.
But after Ping'er brought back the shark silk gauze, she asked Yuanyang to wait on the mountain first, while she stayed at the foot of the mountain, to prevent Sun Shaozong from seeing outsiders and not daring to approach and talk to them.
Yuanyang arrived at the pavilion on the top of the mountain and waited for about a quarter of an hour. Seeing that there was still no movement down the mountain, she couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts. She was just thinking about what her future husband would look like when she was suddenly embraced in someone's arms and kneaded like dough!
You have to know that Yuanyang has been with the old lady since she was a child. Even Jia She, a lecherous devil, only dared to tease her with words and never had the courage to touch her.
Therefore, facing this sudden attack, Yuanyang's heart immediately jumped into her throat, and under the unscrupulous kneading, she became limp like a ball of paste, with only her clever mouth closed tightly. Not to mention opening her mouth to explain, she even forgot the instinct to shout!
Later, Sun Shaozong pushed her down onto the stone table. The cold marble tabletop chilled her to the touch. She barely came to her senses and called out shyly.
Sun Shaozong finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Yuanyang say that she had discovered his affair with Ping'er as early as the time when Jia Baoyu was poisoned, but had kept it secret until now.
Knowing that such details could not be fabricated out of thin air, Sun Shaozong let go of Yuanyang and bowed to apologize, saying, "I am sorry for my carelessness just now."
"It's late at night, and... no wonder Lord Sun would admit his mistake." Yuanyang lowered his head to protect his chest, responding hesitantly, completely unlike his usual bold and straightforward self.
Since she said so, Sun Shaozong was naturally happy to quickly put an end to this matter. He pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said, "Miss, please go and call Ping'er up. I have to go back and have a drink with Brother Bao in a while. I really can't delay any longer."
The mandarin ducks also wished they could escape temporarily to relieve the embarrassment in their hearts.
So he turned around and followed the stone steps to the foot of the mountain. After a while, he hurried back with Ping'er.
When Ping Er saw Sun Shao Zong, she wanted to rush over to him and whisper in his ear, but because Yuan Yang was in front of her, she couldn't show too much intimacy. She could only flirt with him while speaking directly, "I asked Lord Sun to come here this time because I really want you to help my good sister."
As he said this, he looked at Yuanyang, signaling her to quickly state her purpose.
Who knew that Yuanyang's words had already been swept away by Sun Shaozong. Now her heart was pounding, and she didn't even dare to look at Sun Shaozong. How could she dare to step forward and reveal her conditions for finding a husband?
Therefore, Ping'er's glance was ignored, and she had no choice but to speak up for her: "Now the eldest master wants to take Yuanyang as a concubine, but she would rather die than not want to - our second wife has privately come up with an idea, asking Yuanyang to quickly find someone she likes and marry, so as to stop the eldest master's thoughts."
"But we servants are always sitting in a well and looking at the sky. How can we know a man who is satisfactory to us? It just so happens that the Second Mistress asked me to send something to Lord Sun, so I thought about asking you for advice on her behalf."
After hearing this, Sun Shaozong turned his gaze to and looked her up and down.
Although it was dark, the gaze that seemed to be real still made Yuanyang feel uncomfortable, so she heard Sun Shaozong say, "Miss Yuanyang, can you let me and Ping'er talk alone for a few words?"
The mandarin ducks ran down the mountain as if they were escaping.
Ping'er watched her back disappear on the winding mountain road, and wondered, "What happened to her? Usually, she looks calm even when the sky falls, but why is she..."
Before she could finish her words, Sun Shaozong had already grabbed her slender waist and clung to her even more fiercely than when the misunderstanding happened just now.
Ping'er immediately forgot everything and eagerly tried to please him.
After a long while, the two of them pulled a silver thread between their lips, and then Sun Shaozong laughed and said, "Just now I climbed up from the back mountain, and it was pitch dark and I couldn't see clearly. I thought she was you, so I pounced on her from behind and touched her randomly a few times. I guess she was scared."
Ping'er stuck out her tongue and deftly cut off the silver thread. She blushed and spat, "Pah~ I'm afraid you touched it on purpose because you saw it clearly, right?"
"How is that possible? Her child is not as good as yours..."
The two of them flirted for a while, and then Sun Shaozong said seriously: "It may not be difficult to help her find a suitable family, but after she gets married, who can guarantee that she will keep her mouth shut about our affairs like she does now?"
Ping Erh hurriedly said, "Don't worry about that. Yuanyang has always been a very righteous person and would never..."
Before she could finish, Sun Shaozong shook his head and said, "If others ask her, she may be able to hide it, but if she marries a man of her dreams and they are infatuated with each other, she may not be able to control herself."
Seeing that Ping'er was about to refute, he asked again: "For example, if I asked you about the private affairs of Lian Er's sister-in-law, could you still hide it from me?"
As he spoke, he bit Ping'er's earlobe and blew hot air into her ear.
"this……"
Ping'er's delicate body softened immediately. She felt a little worried, but then she changed her mind and said in embarrassment, "But we are sisters. I can't just watch her fall into the hands of the master, can I?"
After a slight hesitation, she gritted her teeth and said, "How about I give her some good advice and let's help her this time."
After all, she is a kind-hearted woman.
Fortunately, Sun Shaozong had already prepared a plan, and he laughed and said, "Since she is your sister and has helped us keep the secret, how could I watch her fall into the fire pit and not lend a hand?"
"But if she wants to escape this disaster, she doesn't have to get married. Right now there happens to be a good opportunity for her to leave Rongguo Mansion..."
As he spoke, he whispered a few words into Ping'er's ear.
