The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 772 Meeting by Fate [Part [-]]

After walking a long distance, Jiao Shun slowed down.

Looking back to the direction of the pavilion, I can still vaguely see Xue Baochai standing on the shore, perhaps still worried about tomorrow's agreement.

In fact, according to Jiao Shun's original idea, he was going to strike while the iron was hot and lure Xue Baochai to a secluded place to tease him.

But when he really saw Baochai, he found that there was actually a bit of resentment and sourness in her indifference, so he temporarily changed his mind and asked her to meet again tomorrow.

The purpose of doing this is mainly to test Baochai's mind.

If Baochai really went to the appointment, it would prove that King Xiang had intentions, and the goddess might not have no intentions either.

Even if he refuses to go to the appointment, he can use this matter as an introduction and excuse in the future to pave the way for the next attack.

"Uncle Jiao?"

As he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard someone calling in front of him in a low voice, and then he realized that he had already arrived at the door of Qingtang hut.

He smiled at the maid who guarded the gate, lifted his skirt and stepped into the courtyard.

Apparently the servant's call was heard in the room, Caixia greeted her from inside, and asked curiously: "Why did the uncle come back so soon? Didn't you say that something was left in the Rongxi hall?"

"I found it on the way."

As Jiao Shun said, he went to the door.

Caixia hurriedly raised the door curtain high, and the heat wave mixed with the fragrance of makeup and powder came over the surface immediately.

Jiao Shun took off his cloak as he walked in, shook Caixia casually, then cupped his hands at Mrs. Wang, "I was rude just now, please forgive me, auntie."

"What are the two words in the family?"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly got up and greeted: "Sit down and enjoy the fire—Caiyun, don't change the tea for a new one."

She worked hard, but Jiao Shun only pretended to be polite, and then took a seat next to her.

Just now, in order not to miss Baochai, he actually left in a hurry just after sitting down for a while, so he didn't even have time to get to the point.

Now that the matter is over, seeing Mrs. Wang backing away, Jiao Shun said: "I have also heard about the rumors about Niangniang and Baoyu—in fact, I saw Niangniang in the palace this afternoon, and Niangniang also I am very worried about this, and hope to deal with King Zhongshun with me."

"King Zhongshun?"

Mrs. Wang was a little puzzled after hearing this: "What does this matter have to do with King Zhongshun?"

"It's a big relationship, and it's the King Zhongshun who secretly created momentum to trap the empress to death!" Jiao Shun put down the tea bowl in his hand, and said with a sneer, "The Supreme Emperor died suddenly, and the only elder in the clan was King Zhongshun. Ambition, wanting to be the regent——it was for this purpose to win people's hearts during the funeral!"

"But what he did at the time was too blatant, and the empress saw it was wrong, so she suggested to replace him, but King Zhongshun held a grudge because of this, so he secretly campaigned, hoping to get rid of the empress."

Mrs. Wang, who heard these words, was terrified. It was already dangerous enough to be overturned. Who would have thought that there was a loyal and obedient king hidden behind this!

She couldn't help getting up, walked back and forth a few steps and said: "King Zhongshun wants to be the regent, but what does it have to do with the elder sister? Why bother to provoke him for no reason?!"

"Women's view!"

Jiao Shun's expression was serious, he put down his teacup and said: "Your Majesty is a think tank in the palace. If you don't point out such a simple problem, if someone points it out afterwards, won't you be more passive? Offending King Zhongshun is troublesome, but if you let Concubine Wu Gui Think about it, what good things are you doing?"

Seeing his anger, Mrs. Wang softened immediately, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold the teacup and whispered: "Master calm down, I don't understand the way of it, you just say it, I understand."

"You know shit."

Jiao Shun took a sip from the teacup, slapped the envelope on the table, and said with a sneer, "Let's see what this is!"

The rougher he was, the softer Mrs. Wang's figure became. She carefully picked up the envelope and took out a photo to look at. Just one glance made her want to scream.

Jiao Shun quickly covered her mouth with his hands, and only slowly let go after seeing her horror fade slightly.

"This, this?"

Mrs. Wang was shocked, but she still couldn't understand the purpose of Jiao Shun showing herself such obscene things.

"You should have seen the man in the photo."

After Jiao Shun finished speaking, seeing that Mrs. Wang was still confused, he added: "I met you in the palace."

"In the palace?"

Mrs. Wang looked at the photo carefully, especially the most eye-catching thing on it, her expression gradually changed from confusion to shock, and finally she whispered in a trembling voice: "Could it be, is it..."

"It's Concubine Rong, that Concubine Rong from the Zhou family."

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was trembling for a long time, she couldn't explain clearly, Jiao Shun decisively announced the answer.

"It's really her?!"

Although she had recognized Concubine Rong through her physical features, after confirming that it was indeed Concubine Rong, Mrs. Wang was still greatly shocked.

You must know that before the emperor became seriously ill, Concubine Rong was a respectable person in the forefront of the palace. Who would have thought that she would be tied up like this to take pictures as a souvenir? !

After a while, she suddenly said in shock: "This, this is you, you..."

"What are you, me and me!"

Jiao Shun angrily slapped her on the back: "The person who took the photo, Wu Guifei, took these photos of mine from her when I entered the palace in the afternoon."

As he said that, he also told how he bluntly alienated himself from the Rongguo Mansion and Xiande Concubine after Wu Guifei summoned him.

Finally pointing to the channel: "The reason why Concubine Wu Gui gave this thing is mostly to show me that in her eyes, other concubines are just playthings that can be bullied at will."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, her face was already pale.

She originally thought that her daughter was a virtuous concubine and had helped the emperor handle government affairs. Even though her status was not as high as that of the empress and Wu Guifei, she still deserved a place in the palace. Who would have imagined that in the eyes of Wu Guifei, she would be It's like a plaything that you can grind at your fingertips!
What made her even more flustered was that Concubine Wu Gui asked Jiao Shun to stay away from her family. The situation was already in dire straits, if Jiao Shun let go...

"Why are you panicking?"

Jiao Shun took out the photo and the envelope from her hand, and after putting them away properly, he said, "If I really wanted to alienate you, why would I come here overnight? But I can't show up in the open, so I can only secretly try to shift the focus of public opinion." , try to calm down the matter before His Majesty makes his move."

After a pause, he said in relief, "Fortunately, although Concubine Wu Gui is mean, the Empress is tolerant. Even if things cannot be done, she should not let the empress be buried with the emperor's tomb—on the contrary, Baoyu is in trouble. It is said that someone is going to participate in the vegetarian meal of his corpse."

Hearing Jiao Shun's reassurance, Mrs. Wang was relieved at first, but when she heard that someone was going to impeach Baoyu, she couldn't help sighing: "This evil is really not worrying, if he agreed to return to engineering to work as an errand a few years ago, how could... ...Oh, what a magic star in life!"

"Who said it wasn't."

Jiao Shun also sighed: "I'll try my best to turn things around, but he probably won't be able to keep his position, and he might not be able to count on him in the future—I heard that you've gotten a lot closer to Lang Geer recently?"

"Because of Zhu'er's death a few years ago, I owed that child a lot..."

"It's good that you can turn this corner!"

Jiao Shun said: "It's really impossible to stay dormant for a few years. When Brother Lang grows older, I will give him a good future. I dare not say that the family business of this country's government will be supported again. At least it will not be completely defeated."

Seeing Mrs. Wang nodding silently, as if she had really given up on Baoyu, Jiao Shun's heart moved, and suddenly said: "There is something, I have to talk to you first - I accidentally left this thing on the road Now, guess who picked it up?"

"who is it?"

"It's Baochai."

Jiao Shun sighed, pretending to be distressed and said: "When I went to look for it, she probably had already seen the photos inside, and looked at me coldly. I was afraid that she would misunderstand and spread the matter again. I want to explain it. To the left and right there are maids following, so they whispered to her to meet again in the garden tomorrow."

Mrs. Wang was taken aback at first, wondering why it was such a coincidence.

But after thinking about it, Baochai just said goodbye when he heard that Jiao Shun had arrived, so it's not surprising that Baochai would pick up that thing.

May we meet again in the garden...

Mrs. Wang observed Jiao Shun's expression carefully, and then suggested: "How about I go and talk to her clearly?"

"how?"

Jiao Shun glared: "Are you still afraid that I will do something to her?"

"how come!"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "Bao girl has always acted cautiously, I was afraid that she might not be willing to go to the appointment."

Having said that, in fact, in the bottom of my heart, I can't trust the two of them.

After all, Baochai is a stranger to Baoyu now, and if she were herself, she would probably harbor some resentment, but she once discussed marriage with Jiao Shun, if she had been in touch with Jiao Shun more, she would talk about such nasty things again...

Mrs. Wang's heart fluttered with fifteen buckets, and she wanted to stop this private meeting, but she was afraid that Jiao Shun would not like it because of it-now Yuanchun and Baoyu are all pointing to him to contribute!

Especially in the palace, if you really want to get to the bottom of it, you may have to implicate your family...

While sipping tea leisurely, Jiao Shun looked at Mrs. Wang's ever-changing expression, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up in a happy arc.

If I don't dare to stop it today, I might help to cover it up tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow...

…………

at the same time.

When Xue Baochai returned home, he also frowned and pondered.

If what Jiao Shun said is true, then this photo is evidence that Wu Guifei abused Concubine Rong—although she didn't see the restraints on Concubine Rong, but only by Concubine Rong's expression, she knew that it was definitely not voluntary.

The question is, why did Concubine Wu give these photos to Jiao Shun?
Could it be that he was assigned some errand that needed these photos?
But is there anything that must use this kind of thing?

You must know that once it is revealed, even if Concubine Wu Gui is the prince's biological mother, she will inevitably be held accountable.

Generally speaking, even if she took a photo, she should keep it secret. If there is no necessary reason, how could she take the initiative to hand over her handle to the foreign minister?

After much deliberation, Baochai couldn't figure it out.

It's no wonder, how could she think that Wu Guifei really gave the photo to Jiao Shun in a flash of enthusiasm.

"girl."

At this time, Ying'er put a cup of tea on the dressing table, took the opportunity to look at her girl's expression, and tentatively said, "Do you want me to come with you tomorrow..."

"What is unknown tomorrow!"

Baochai scowled, "When did I promise him? If you dare to make up your own mind again, don't blame me for disregarding the friendship I have had for many years!"

Although she was very curious, after many considerations, she still tended to stay out of the matter. After all, once such a matter was involved, if it went wrong, it would be a catastrophe for her family to be ransacked.

"The slaves dare not!"

Ying'er quickly bowed her head to admit her mistake, but she was a bit puzzled in her heart. Is the girl's attitude trying to cover up, or is she having a quarrel with Uncle Jiao?
Or is it……

She rolled her eyes a few times and went to make the bed beside her.

After a while, he pretended to be careless and said: "By the way, girl, have you noticed that Brother Xiong from Dongfu doesn't look like Uncle Zhen at all? Even Brother Rong..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"That's my nonsense. I heard someone in the East Mansion say that brother Xiong was born of Grandma Zhen's affair with someone."

"How dare you talk nonsense!"

Baochai patted the Suchai she had just picked off on the table, and said angrily, "Can you believe these gossips? Don't mention it again in the future, or it will reach Sister Zhen's ears, and see if she will pick your skin off!"

That's what she said, but when she thought about the appearance of Brother Xiong, it was indeed completely different from the father and son in Dongfu.

"Girl, don't worry, I'm just talking to you for fun - in fact, which house in the mansion is not like this? If a man is not doing his job properly, and he doesn't know how to love him..."

"shut up!"

Xue Baochai scolded coquettishly, raised her finger and said outside the door: "Go out, I don't need you to serve me these few days!"

Only then did Yinger shut up, and obediently left the bedroom.

But her goal has also been achieved.

How much she admired Baoyu at the beginning, and now she is so angry with Baoyu. The reason why she secretly matched Baochai and Jiao Shun was not only because Baochai was worthless, but also because she wanted to take the opportunity to vent her anger.

After chasing Ying'er away, Baochai thought about what she said, and unconsciously, Aunt Xue's happy and satisfied face appeared in her mind when she stepped out of the remote courtyard that night.

With the character of a mother...

Could it be that such dirty things are really commonplace in the mansion gate?

Affected by this, Baochai's rock-solid belief was inevitably shaken.

That night.

Mrs. Wang and Baochai both tossed and turned and couldn't sleep all night, and they were equally indecisive and unable to make a decision.

In a blink of an eye, it was the next morning.

Baochai was dazed when she heard the laughter coming from outside, she raised her head and looked at the wall clock, and immediately called out: "Yinger, Yinger..."

"Grandma is awake."

It was not Yinger who entered the door in response.

Only then did Baochai remember that she had just sent Ying'er off last night, so she sat up with a dark sigh, and asked casually, "Why is it so noisy outside?"

"It snowed in the second half of the night, and it hasn't stopped until now."

"Snowing?"

With a thought in her mind, Baochai got up and walked quickly to the window, pushed the window out hard, and the glazed world with white snow fluttering outside came into view.

It was snowing that day, but today it is snowing again...

Could it be that this is God's will?
