The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 795 This is a lie!

Because Jiao Shun promised to come, but didn't say when he would arrive, Mrs. Wang waited at home anxiously and impatiently.

When she finally heard that Jiao Shun was coming and was rushing to the Grand View Garden, she started to panic again.

Even though she already has the awareness in her heart that she can't bear to let the child not be caught by the wolf, it is still difficult for her to deal with the situation indifferently.

After all, Baoyu is also her own flesh and blood.

She got up and walked around the living room twice, then suddenly asked Caixia who was standing beside her: "What is Second Mistress doing now?"

Caixia was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Caiyun.

Caiyun shrugged at her, and Caixia hurriedly said, "I'll go and find out."

As he spoke, he walked out.

"return!"

Mrs. Wang hastily called to stop her, and her secret poking gestures were all right, but she really couldn't do anything to urge her openly.

But since Baochai has hooked up with Jiao Shun, she probably doesn't need to...

Hey~
What a sin!
She sat back on the Arhat's bed in agitation, picked up the Buddhist beads and kept twisting them, but she couldn't calm down no matter what.

If there is a choice, which mother-in-law would like to see her daughter-in-law cheating?
But now it is about the life and death of his own daughter, and it is more likely to implicate the fate of the whole family...

She twirled the prayer beads impatiently, hating herself for being born 20 years earlier, if not for her youthful looks, why would she use others?
at the same time.

Xue Baochai was chatting with Wang Xifeng at home.

Because of the handover of power, the two had once been at odds with each other, but now that the situation has changed, the two have rebuilt their old friendship and gradually warmed up.

With a big belly, Wang Xifeng slumped against the cushion for a while, then sat up straight and drank the residual tea in the cup in one gulp. Bring a pot of tea."

When Ying'er took it, she found that there was still half of the tea in the teacup. She knew that Wang Xifeng had something to say to her daughter alone, so she silently went out with the teapot.

Sure enough, as soon as she left, Wang Xifeng asked curiously: "What happened to my sister today? Why is she looking listless and absent-minded."

"It's nothing."

Naturally, Baochai would not reveal the truth, she smiled and waved her hands and said, "It's just that I'm too tired from guarding the spirit these days, and I can't cheer up when I'm free."

"I don't think so?"

Wang Xifeng leaned back on the cushion again, beat her swollen legs with a half-smile and said, "I heard that Baoyu wrote a letter home, did he mention something in the letter?"

"It is true that there is a letter sent back from the family."

Baochai sighed, and said helplessly, "The Zhen family was ransacked, and Baoyu saw it with his own eyes."

"what?!"

Wang Xifeng sat up all of a sudden, his stomach fluttered violently, and he hugged his hands with a cry of pain. After a while, he asked again: "Why was the Zhen family suddenly ransacked?"

"It wasn't sudden. At the beginning, he was implicated. Later, many violations of laws and regulations were revealed. The cabinet will strictly investigate and deal with it, and then..."

Wang Xifeng naturally understood what the so-called being implicated was all about, but she still felt a little weird: "Then why didn't we hear any news in the capital?"

"This one……"

Baochai pondered for a while, then guessed: "Perhaps it was just in time for His Majesty's death, so it was covered."

Only then did Wang Xifeng suddenly realize that, no matter how big the matter of the Zhen family was, it was nothing more than the emperor's death. If it happened in those few days, naturally no one would pay attention.

From the Zhen's house that was ransacked, to thinking of Wang Taiwei who ended up in ruins, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh, no longer in the mood to talk grandly.

Later, it was Baochai who took the initiative to ask about Wang Xifeng's delivery date, and the two chatted again.

At this moment, Ying'er came in with a teapot, and said as soon as she entered, "I just heard that my wife has invited Uncle Jiao again. I don't know if there is something important."

Wang Xifeng's eyes flickered slightly when he heard the words, and he immediately smiled and said, "Our second master Lian is not up to anything, so we have to count on him, Jiao Changqing?"

As he spoke, he asked Xue Baochai again: "Sister, do you know why he came back here?"

"It's probably related to the empress."

Baochai replied vaguely, although she didn't show anything on the surface, her heart was already in a mess.

Because until now, she still hasn't decided whether to face Jiao Shun directly.

The first time can be said to be an impulsive revenge under great disappointment.

If I do it again, I'm afraid I won't even find an excuse for self-comfort.

The two had their own thoughts, and after chatting for a few more words, Wang Xifeng took the initiative to get up and leave.

After returning to Dongkua Courtyard, she once thought about asking Jia Lian to entertain Jiao Shun according to the 'convention', but then she thought about it, now that she can't be left or right, why bother to make a wedding dress for someone else?

If the tortoise couldn't bear moving anymore, he would just wait for the eldest wife to come back and keep a guest.

But she still asked casually: "What is the second master doing?"

"The second master has gone out."

The maid who was rubbing her legs hurriedly reported: "Second Master went out yesterday, and he hasn't come back yet. I heard that a foreign official has been transferred to the capital, so he specially invited Second Master to have a drink."

Foreign officials?

Transferred to Beijing?

Wang Xifeng was a little baffled, now that the Rongguo Mansion has turned into such a ghost, can Jia Lian still earn extra money?
After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't figure it out, so I didn't think about it any more. Maybe he was just a petty official of the eighth or ninth rank. Even though the Rongguo Mansion was not as good as before, it should still be possible to arrange a sesame official of the eighth or ninth rank.

Thinking about it like this, she also put this matter behind her.

…………

Let's go back and talk about Xue Baochai.

After seeing off Wang Xifeng, she drank tea silently in the living room, as if she didn't care about the news of Jiao Shun's visit.

But this appearance made Ying'er anxious, she wondered if the girl was in the palace and had some trouble with Uncle Jiao, otherwise how could she behave like this when she heard that he was coming?
"girl?"

She couldn't help calling out, and was about to say something, but was stopped by Xue Baochai raising her hand, and reminded word by word: "I said, don't make any more assertions!"

Ying'er didn't want to say anything immediately, but she felt that she was worthless for the girl.

Others send home letters to parents, wives and children, not to mention maids, and even to concubines, they usually ask their wives to tell them. Baoyu is lucky, he wrote such a thick letter to Xiren, but only gave the girl a few Pages, this is a naked humiliation!
However, he probably never dreamed that as soon as he left the capital, Xiren would jump to the third girl's side, acquiescing to be uncle Jiao's maid.

Just as he was feeling relieved, he suddenly saw Xue Baochai standing up and walking into the boudoir.

Yinger subconsciously wanted to follow in, but the door was locked with a slam.

After Xue Baochai entered the inner room, she sat down in front of the dressing table, and took out two letters from home, one thick and one thin.

Needless to say, Xue Baochai had already read the thick one, but she still hasn't opened the thin one.

At this time, she placed the letter belonging to her own family in the center of the dressing table. After staring at it for a while, she picked up the scissors and cut off the cover, and gently pulled out three pages of letter paper from inside.

To be precise, the content is only two and a half pages.

Of course, because they are all in small letters, if there is no Xiren's letter for comparison, this can be regarded as a relatively standard family letter.

Shaking the letter paper away, Xue Baochai seemed to be making a major decision, took a deep breath, let her full chest rest on the dressing table, and then looked up word by word.

I don't know whether it was unexpected or expected.

The content of this letter from home is different from Baochai's initial guess. It is indeed an attempt to restore the broken relationship between the two, and nearly half of the whole letter is about self-blame.

only……

After Baochai finished reading, she seemed to see Baoyu facing the three letter papers, sitting on pins and needles, scratching her ears and scratching her cheeks, and sighing.

Because those words of apology, those words of self-blame, and those words of trying to redeem are all without exception blunt.

Obviously, this letter was written after Zhen's family was ransacked, and as we all know, Baoyu is a "gentleman", at least when he writes poems and articles, he is easily affected by emotions.

And with a world-weary feeling on his forehead, he insisted on writing these erotic things, and the twists and turns in it were almost visible to the naked eye.

Not to mention a woman with a bright eye like Xue Baochai, but an ordinary person who is proficient in writing and ink can also make a four-character summary of this article:

This is a lie!

No emotion is all technical lies!

Or maybe Baoyu never thought of writing a family letter to herself, but was oppressed by Jia Zheng, or forced by Nanny Li, so she drove the ducks to the shelves, and wrote such a letter that seemed to be a paper. Short and long-term love, but in fact, there are alienation and indifference letters everywhere!
Xue Baochai took a deep breath, and her eyes gradually became firm.

Immediately, she got up without hesitation and opened the door, and told the startled Yinger: "Go and ask, see if sister Xiangyun or the Xue family has asked Uncle Jiao to send me a letter."

Ying'er was taken aback for a moment, and then she was overjoyed: "Wait, girl, I'll go find Uncle Jiao right away!"

As he said, he flew away as if flying.

Watching her go away, Xue Baochai sat back on the arhat's bed again, with her head lowered, there was no trace of joy or disappointment in her eyes, only the exhaustion that was so strong that it could not be resolved.
