Chapter 892 Banquet (Part 2)
Even after the banquet was over, Sun Shaozong still couldn't fully understand what Jia Zheng had said.
Is he conservative or is he wise in disguise?
Based on past performance, the former is more likely.
But after all, Jia Zheng had just returned from local training. Who could guarantee that he had not made any significant progress during his two years in Jiangxi?
never mind.
No matter what, his attitude at least brings more benefits than disadvantages to Sun Shaozong, who is able to please both sides .
In this case, there is no need to make this matter clear - at least not in a hurry.
On the contrary, the issue of Ping'er's surrender has been delayed to the point where it can no longer be delayed.
Therefore, after the drunk Jia Zheng was helped back home by Jia Baoyu to rest, Sun Shaozong focused all his attention on this.
"Erlang, please be patient."
Perhaps it was because his alcohol tolerance decreased after he became a woman, or because alcohol doesn't intoxicate people, but people get drunk on their own accord, but Jia Lian's tongue was already a little stiff at this time.
Seeing Sun Shaozong looking at him, he felt a little embarrassed. He took out a pink handkerchief from his waist, half covered his face and said loudly, "Someone, go to Xiyun Pavilion and ask Ping'er to come over to talk!"
As he spoke, he squinted his sleepy eyes and measured Sun Shaozong's pectoralis major.
The piercing gaze made Sun Shaozong feel uncomfortable all over. He quickly made an excuse that he had to go to the toilet and escaped from the hall.
After wandering around the toilet for a quarter of an hour, watching several lanterns coming closer and closer, reflecting Ping'er's pretty face, which looked hard to tell whether happy or sad, Sun Shaozong leisurely returned to Rong Xi Hall.
Unexpectedly, after a while, the bead curtain moved, and the person who came in was not Ping'er as expected, but Wang Xifeng with a sarcastic look on her face.
Jia Lian and Sun Shaozong were both stunned.
Then Sun Shaozong hurriedly stood up and left the table, bowing and asking, "Why is my sister-in-law here?"
Jia Lian also stood up slowly, but just looked at Wang Xifeng with displeasure, without saying a single extra word.
Wang Xifeng first glanced at Jia Lian and saw that his face was full of suspicion and disgust, without a trace of tenderness. The resentment and anger in her phoenix eyes also increased a little.
She pursed her lips slightly and asked with a fake smile: "Why? Can't I come to Rong Xi Tang anymore?"
As soon as I heard these words, I knew that the person was up to no good.
"How come?"
Sun Shaozong laughed and said, "I just suddenly saw the 'creditor' and didn't know what to do for a moment."
Wang Xifeng had originally made up her mind to embarrass both parties, especially Jia Lian, at the banquet tonight.
Who would have thought that Jia Zheng would suddenly have the idea to get involved.
Even though they had lost all their love for each other, she could not expose her husband's scandal in front of Jia Zheng.
Wang Xifeng was feeling depressed and heartbroken at home when she was helpless. Unexpectedly, things took a new turn - Jia Zheng got drunk and left early.
How could Wang Xifeng miss this opportunity that was lost and regained?
He rushed to Rong Xi Tang and prepared to act according to the original plan.
However, Sun Shaozong's call of "creditor" suppressed the sarcasm that was about to come out of her mouth.
Yes, she still has tens of thousands of taels of silver in the hands of the Sun family!
Although the Sun family would probably not dare to break the contract due to the threat from General Wang, it was not a good thing to embarrass both parties at this critical juncture.
That’s all!
Anyway, there is no rush for this matter. I can wait until all the money is in my pocket and then step in to ruin my husband's dream. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?
Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng raised her sleeves and burst into laughter. Her face, which was full of frosty and sharp, turned into a friendly and amiable one: "Erlang just likes to joke. Anyway, you won't embezzle your sister-in-law's money, so why are you so afraid?"
As she spoke, she walked forward, took Baoyu's wine glass, rinsed it with tea, and then filled a full glass of soju. She raised her hands and said, "If it weren't for Erlang's blessing, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see your second brother Lian until the end of the year. Just for this reason, your sister-in-law has to toast you a glass!"
Although he made up his mind not to let Jia Lian go for the time being, he was still infatuated with Sun Shaozong and even had someone steal Sun Shaozong's clothes and did many unspeakable things.
But Wang Xifeng had a hot temper after all, and she couldn't help but reveal sarcasm and ridicule in her words.
After she finished speaking, she felt that she could no longer bear Sun Shaozong and Jia Lian, so she raised her pretty face and poured the wine down her throat.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
After all, aged liquor was not as soft as usual, and Wang Xifeng drank it in a hurry, so she choked and coughed out most of it, and soon the front of her clothes was wet.
If she were an ordinary woman, she would probably feel ashamed.
Wang Xifeng just raised her sleeves and wiped her neck and chest wantonly, saying calmly, "Erlang, enjoy your drink. I'll be leaving now."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out without saying anything else.
This hurried and swift coming and going made Sun Shaozong a little confused.
Seeing Wang Xifeng had already arrived at the door, Jia Lian, who had been watching coldly, suddenly said, "Since you are here, don't be in a hurry to leave. Ping'er is yours after all. You have to decide when to send her away and what the rules are."
Wang Xifeng paused and looked back at Jia Lian. Suddenly, she felt a sense of absurdity: it had been three days since she came back from Wangjiang Tower, and this was the first time Jia Lian took the initiative to talk to her, and he actually said this...
And if it wasn't for Sun Shaozong, I'm afraid there wouldn't even be this sentence, right?
"Chuck , chuck, chuck..."
I don’t know why these thoughts tickled Wang Xifeng’s funny bone. She laughed so hard that she covered her chest and fell backwards.
After a long while, she straightened her back again under the two people's puzzled gazes, wiped away the crystal from the corners of her eyes with the back of her fingers, and nodded, "That's right. After all, Ping'er and I have been sisters for so many years, no matter what, we have to make proper arrangements."
Having said that, he went back and sat opposite Sun Shaozong.
Then Sun Shaozong's gaze slid downwards uncontrollably.
Speaking of which...
That should be the fingerprint she left just now, right?
It's no wonder that Sun Shaozong was still thinking about it in a wrong way at this time. It was really that the fingerprints on the "muddy" chest were too eye-catching.
After finally correcting the deviation in his sight, Sun Shaozong met Wang Xifeng's triangular eyes and curved eyebrows. He said solemnly, "As long as it's for Ping'er's good, sister-in-law, feel free to ask for anything you want!"
This statement was made with absolute certainty, but the premise behind it was that Ping'er was the priority.
And based on the "friendship" between the two of them, even if Wang Xifeng made some unreasonable demands, how could Ping'er agree?
So this passionate speech is just for listening.
However, Sun Shaozong never expected that Wang Xifeng would make such a request:
"I can't think of any other sisters-in-law right now, so how about Erlang just get drunk with me today?"
