Chapter 902: Life Master
Ugly [2am]
The main hall and bedroom of Yihongyuan.
Feeling that Xiren was sleeping soundly beside him, Jia Baoyu carefully pulled his arm out of her arms, got up on tiptoe, and without even bothering to dress properly, he just put on his boots and cloak, and quietly left the bedroom.
For fear of alarming the maid who was on night watch, he did not dare to light the lantern and headed straight to the front yard in the dark.
Fortunately, he was familiar with this road every day. Although there were some bumps in the road, he finally reached the front yard safely.
Unlike the Grand View Garden which has fallen into tranquility, many courtyards in the front yard are still brightly lit.
With the help of the lamplight, Jia Baoyu vaguely recognized the location of the woodshed, and he quickened his pace and hurried over.
However, when he reached the woodshed and looked at the dark courtyard gate, he seemed to have lost his ability to hold his body in place. He tried to push forward several times, but the soles of his feet seemed to have taken root and he could not pull them out.
This happened again and again, and Jia Baoyu didn't know whether he was ashamed or angry. He punched himself on the hip, turned around and walked away with a grin - this time, he didn't even stumble at all.
He had just walked a short distance when two people appeared from the corner. They were Xiren and Sheyue.
Musk Moon looked at Jia Baoyu's receding figure and couldn't help patting her chest and whispering, "Thanks to you for helping me. Otherwise, if I had rushed out to stop him, I'm afraid there would have been a scene for nothing."
Xiren, standing aside, smiled bitterly and silently.
Although Jia Baoyu turned back in time, which made her feel relieved, she was still a little disappointed deep down in her heart.
If one day he was in a desperate situation like Qiu Wen, would he... make a different choice from today?
Shaking her head, she put aside the inappropriate thoughts in her mind and said softly, "Let's go. When we get to the garden, we will find a way to go around to the front and pretend to be out looking for him."
Musk Moon naturally would not object, so the two of them followed closely behind.
But after following for a while, the two became confused again, because the direction chosen by Jia Baoyu seemed to have deviated from the main gate of the Grand View Garden.
Musk Moon was taller, and through the bushes beside the road, she could vaguely see a building ahead. She suddenly realized, "It looks like... it looks like they are going to the guest rooms!"
Guest room?
Xiren immediately understood.
Perhaps Baoyu still couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart, so he wanted to ask Sun Shaozong for advice and guidance - ever since the two of them became friends, Jia Baoyu has always regarded him as a life mentor.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt at ease.
…
But Jia Baoyu was so fascinated that he walked slowly to the guest room. He looked up and saw that the yard was pitch black without a trace of light. Then he suddenly remembered that it was already four o'clock in the morning.
Brother Sun has been working on family affairs for half the night. Now, isn't it inappropriate for me to disturb his rest for personal matters?
But I really don't want to go back like this.
He hesitated and took two steps back, then took three steps forward. After hesitating for half a quarter of an hour, he finally raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Perhaps he did not use enough strength, or perhaps Sun Shaozong was sleeping too soundly, and after a long while, there was no movement inside.
Jia Baoyu sighed dejectedly, finally gave up waiting, turned around and moved step by step towards the right road.
At this moment, Sun Shaozong suddenly asked from inside: "Who is it? Who is outside?"
"It's me, Baoyu!"
Baoyu was overjoyed and quickly ran under the doorway again.
"It's Brother Bao."
Sun Shaozong pushed open half of the door and stood in front of the threshold. He looked at Baoyu suspiciously for a few times, but when he saw that Baoyu looked gloomy and had no intention of forcing his way in, he opened the door a little wider and asked with a yawn, "It's so late, what do you want from me?"
"It's still about the case of Huan Ge'er and Qiu Wen."
Seeing his tired face, Jia Baoyu said awkwardly, "I was just feeling depressed and wanted to tell you a few words from my heart, but I didn't want to disturb your sweet dream."
It turned out to be a false alarm.
Sun Shaozong was speechless, thinking to himself that this kid could have come to him for psychological counseling at some other time, but chose to do so at this critical moment, almost scaring him to death.
Just as he was about to make up a few inspirational words and send Jia Baoyu back to the Yihong Courtyard, he suddenly saw two shadowy figures not far away.
Sun Shaozong immediately changed his mind.
If it were just Jia Baoyu, even if I didn't let him in, he probably wouldn't think much about it. But in the eyes of others, it might not be the case.
After a moment's hesitation, Sun Shaozong pretended to be magnanimous and opened the gate, extended his hand inside and said, "Since you are here, let's go in and talk - so that others won't overhear us."
As he spoke, he glanced at the place where Xiren and Sheyue were hiding.
Baoyu didn't notice anything wrong. He just crossed the threshold with his head down. When he got to the hall, he didn't even wait to sit down before he said in distress, "Second brother, you said..."
Bang!
Just at this moment, some strange noises suddenly came from the room, as if something had hit the door.
Jia Baoyu subconsciously stopped talking and looked inside suspiciously.
Sun Shaozong's heart actually skipped a beat, but a smile appeared on his face. He pointed inside without hesitation and said, "Brother, you came at an unfortunate time. I'll go in and comfort her before I listen to what you have to say."
Seeing his calm attitude, Jia Baoyu thought that it was Ping'er or one of Jia Lian's maids. Embarrassment was inevitable, but he didn't think much of it.
After all, he had slept with Shui Rong's concubine in Prince Beijing's Mansion two years ago, and this was not the first time that Sun Shaozong slept with Jia Lian's maid.
But I couldn't help but feel curious: Sister Ping'er has always been the most steady and composed person, but I wonder what kind of expression she would have when she was with Brother Sun?
However, Sun Shaozong went inside by himself, and gently inserted the bolt with his backhand. He was relieved and shouted loudly: "It's me!"
Having said that, he walked to the cupboard in the northwest corner and gently opened the door.
As soon as the cabinet door was opened, a faint fragrance mixed with the scent of powder wafted into the air, and the next thing that came into view was a woman with her head lowered, shoulders hunched, and her hands on her chest.
The woman looked behind Sun Shaozong in panic, her red lips opened and closed several times with a slight gasp, but she dared not make any sound.
Seeing that her forehead, cheeks and even the tip of her nose were covered with fine beads of sweat, not knowing whether it was due to the heat or fear, Sun Shaozong reached out and put his arms around her waist, and pulled that bomb-like body out of the closet.
The woman was startled and subconsciously pushed Sun Shaozong on the chest, but how push Sun Shaozong's heart of steel and iron?
So she began to twist her body again, trying to break free from Sun Shaozong's restraints.
"Hush."
Sun Shaozong immediately made a gesture to keep quiet, then put his head down beside her ear and whispered, "I managed to fool her just now, but I dare not let your nephew hear anything again."
This disheveled, sweaty woman was, of course, Aunt Xue.
A month ago, she lost her innocence due to Li Wan's scheme. At first, she felt regret, hatred, shock and fear, and even fell ill because of it.
But as time went by, the fear gradually disappeared, and when I thought about this incident again, my feeling was completely different.
After all, he was at the age of being as vigorous as a wolf and had been secluded for a long time. It would be a lie to say that he had no aftertaste after that night of passion.
Especially Sun Shaozong was no ordinary man, he was a popular son-in-law in the court and the country.
Ever since the story of "One Sword Conquers Huguang" spread, countless girls have been obsessed with it.
Such a talented person shared the same bed with me, and I loved him very much...
Whenever she thought of it, besides the inevitable shame and anger in her heart, she couldn't help but feel a little secretly happy and proud.
Because of this, when Li Wan intercepted her halfway tonight and used both soft and hard tactics to urge her to meet Sun Shaozong, her resistance seemed very weak.
As the saying goes, the first time is strange, the second time is familiar, so what happened next was natural and logical.
But unexpectedly, just when Sun Shaozong was about to have his third birthday, he heard someone knocking on the door outside. Aunt Xue was so frightened that her whole body tensed up and she almost strangled Sun Shaozong to death.
Fortunately, Sun Shaozong was still calm. He helped her put on her clothes and let her hide in the closet.
Originally, Aunt Xue was in the closet with her teeth clenched, not daring to even breathe.
But the voice of her nephew Jia Baoyu just now really scared her, and she accidentally hit her knee on the cabinet door.
But when she heard Sun Shaozong mention the word "nephew", Aunt Xue's body suddenly became soft as pulp. She let Sun Shaozong carry her back to the bed and gently cover her with the quilt.
Only then did Aunt Xue seem to regain control of her body. She thrust herself up and asked like a mosquito, "You... why did you let Baoyu in?"
"Hush."
Sun Shaozong made another gesture to silence him: "He thinks you are Ping'er now, just lie down on the bed peacefully."
Aunt Xue hesitated for a moment, then nodded obediently, blushing and saying softly, "You...you should send him away quickly."
There was no other meaning to this statement.
But she curled up in the quilt, her face flushed as she was about to speak, which immediately made Sun Shaozong think of something wrong.
The two hands immediately went into the quilt, and he teased, "Don't worry, I can't let him take up too much of our time."
"I...I'm not this..."
Crunch~
Aunt Xue twisted her body to resist, but suddenly she heard the bed creaking. She was so frightened that she dared not move at all. But not long after, her breathing became uncontrollably heavy.
So she quickly covered her mouth and nose again, leaving only a pair of bright almond-shaped eyes exposed, and looked at Sun Shaozong pleadingly like a helpless child.
If we only look at her childishness at that time, and say that she is Xue Baochai's sister, I guess some people would believe it.
Faced with this contrast, Sun Shaozong was even more itchy and almost pressed forward regardless of the consequences...
But he finally held back, carefully tucked the corners of the quilt for Aunt Xue, and reluctantly went outside .
