The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Jia Lian always thought that Aunt Xue was a good person, well-educated and a good person, so he was willing to help her again and again.

He really didn't expect that as soon as he showed a little bit of decline, the first person who wanted to abandon him was her.

It is indeed realistic.

With a gloomy face, he walked to Aunt Xue's door with ease.

"My Lord, why are you here..."

"Is your wife in there?"

"Yes, our wife has just changed her clothes and is about to go out..."

"Go out, I have something to say to your wife."

Jia Lian waved away Tong Xi, glanced at Aunt Xue who had come out from the inner room after hearing the noise, and then said to Ah Qi and Ah Qin, "You two stay here and don't let anyone else in."

After a pause, he added, "If Baochai comes over, tell her that I have something important to discuss with her mother and ask her to wait for me in her room."

After seeing Jia Lian finish speaking, he walked into the house without saying a word with a cold face. Aunt Xue was a little confused.

But she could see that Jia Lian seemed to be in a bad mood, so after Jia Lian entered the room, she immediately asked, "Lian'er, what's wrong? Did your brother Xue Ke say something he shouldn't have said after drinking and offend you?"

Jia Lian ignored her and walked to the stool beside the tea table, sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, then slowly turned around and looked at Aunt Xue expressionlessly.

When Aunt Xue saw this, she knew that Jia Lian's dissatisfaction came from her.

She quickly put on a fake smile and said, "Lian'er, is it that your aunt did something wrong and made you unhappy? If so, just tell me and your aunt will change it..."

Aunt Xue didn't know what was wrong with her. She was so nervous that she said things like a child who had made a mistake.

Jia Lian raised his eyebrows, but still said nothing. He picked up the teacup and took another sip of tea. Then he looked up at her who was so close to him and said woodenly, "Kneel down."

"What?" Aunt Xue thought she had misheard.

"Kneel down."

Jia Lian's tone seemed heavier, mixed with a hint of impatience, as if some emotion had accumulated to its peak, and any spark could ignite it completely.

Aunt Xue's face turned pale red.

As the second daughter of the Wang family and the mistress of the Xue family, she couldn't remember how many years it had been since anyone had said these two words to her.

Even Baochai's father, the head of the Xue family, had never punished her like this.

But now, the one who gave her this order was not her parents or elders, or even her peers, but a younger generation...

Her noble dignity and human character made it impossible for her to agree to such an absurd request.

But facing Jia Lian's scrutiny, Aunt Xue's legs suddenly went weak, and she fell to her knees on the hard floor with a thump, supporting her thighs with her hands, looking at Jia Lian with grievance and tears in her eyes.

Seeing this, Jia Lian's expression relaxed a little.

……

After Baochai took a bath, she asked her maid to come out and find out if Jia Lian had finished his meal.

Ying'er took the initiative to take over the errand and came back to Baochai and said, "Miss, the banquet outside has been cleared. The second master got drunk and went back to sleep. The marquis is now in the mistress's room, saying that he is discussing something."

Baochai, who had already changed her clothes, suddenly became nervous when she heard this.

I originally thought that my mother was just giving her a suggestion and asking her to leave a way out for herself, but I didn't expect that my mother would be so impatient to confront my second brother Lian so soon?

If this is the case, how should she face Jia Lian in the future?
Thinking about how Jia Lian had taken good care of her during this period, she didn't even dare to offend her in the slightest...

Second Brother Lian fulfilled his promise to treat her as a national treasure.

But what about her and her mother?
After taking advantage of the other party and seeing that the other party has lost power, they want to destroy the bridge after crossing the river.

If she put herself in their shoes, she couldn't imagine how angry Jia Lian would be and how disappointed he would be with them.

Baochai sat there dejectedly. She, who always had her own ideas, didn't know what to do.

Ying'er, who was standing beside her, watched her expression carefully, and when she saw that she had no intention of going over, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course she knew that Jia Lian went to Aunt Xue either to vent his anger or to give her advice.

No matter which situation it is, it is very likely to expose the fact that she was the one who leaked the information!
Although she felt that she was doing this for the sake of her own girl, Baochai was not married to Jia Lian after all, and her behavior was completely tantamount to being a traitor.

She was too scared to go over and confront him.

Therefore, it would be better to wait until later and quietly ask Jia Lian whether he had betrayed her before deciding how to deal with it.

In order to completely dispel Baochai's idea of ​​interfering, Ying'er added: "The Marquis said that he will come to talk to the young lady in a while..."

Baochai nodded silently.

……

In the main house, Tongxi and Tonggui stood on the corridor, looking at Aqi and Aqin, who were like two insurmountable mountains, and stared at each other in bewilderment.

They were all a little suspicious. Isn’t this the Xue family? Isn’t this their wives’ house?

Why does it feel like they are the guests and the other party is the host?

Although they were secretly worried, they didn't dare to provoke Ah Qi and Ah Qin. My goodness, I heard that these two people would not unbutton their swords even when they went to Rongqing Hall!

They didn't know how long it had been before they saw Jia Lian coming out.

He straightened his clothes and said to the two of them, "Your wife is feeling unwell. Please go in and take good care of her."

"Yes."

Tongxi Tonggui glanced at Jia Lian, then walked into the house timidly.

When he arrived at the compartment, he saw his wife sitting at the tea table, leaning on the table with one hand in a daze, with a lost look on her face.

"Mrs……?"

Seeing them enter the room, Aunt Xue came back to her senses. She subconsciously wiped her eyes again and asked, "Where is the Marquis?"

"The Marquis should have gone to the young lady's courtyard."

Aunt Xue nodded and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Tongxi and Tonggui couldn't help feeling a little worried.

When Jia Lian came over just now, they could all see that he looked a little gloomy.

Although the specific reason is unknown, it is certain that their wives did something to displease Master Lian.

Looking at the lady's expression, could it be that Master Lian beat her? Otherwise, why did the lady's eyes look red, and she was wiping tears just now?

Jia Lian came to the courtyard where Baochai lived alone, and stood in front of the door for a while before he spoke: "Is sister Baochai here?"

Ying'er came out, glanced at Jia Lian, and said, "The young lady is inside, please come in, my lord."

Jia Lian nodded and walked into the house.

Baochai's room seemed to be more well-furnished than the last time she came, and the style was also a lot warmer. It must have been renovated by Aunt Xue after Baochai moved in.

"Please take a seat, Brother Lian."

After Jia Lian entered the room, Baochai felt a little awkward. After asking Jia Lian to sit down, she just poured him tea silently, not at all as calm as before when facing Jia Lian.

Seeing this, Jia Lian sighed and said, "I just told your mother about you."

Baochai paused while pouring the tea and remained silent.

"Originally, I was thinking that I still had one year left in mourning, so I planned to find a suitable opportunity to talk to your sister Feng about you.

This will make her feel better and she will be able to accept you better."

Jia Lian seemed to explain.

"I didn't expect that something like this would happen to me in less than a few months."

Jia Lian looked up at Baochai and said earnestly, "I originally thought that with my ability, it would be easy for me to rise to the top and take control of the world.

In this way, even if I am a little greedy and want to touch you after I have your sister Feng and sister Lin, I can still do it and give you the best life.

Now it seems that I was too conceited.

I have been demoted by the court and my future is still unknown.

And you are so smart and so outstanding, how can I ignore your future because of my own selfishness?
So, you should think about our relationship again. No matter what choice you make, I won’t blame you. "

Jia Lian's tone was very calm, but Baochai felt very uneasy when she heard it.

Her eyes were almost instantly filled with tears, and she said a little aggrievedly: "Did my mother say something to you? But that was only my mother's idea, not mine. How could you, how could you do this to me..."

"But your mother is right. You should have a better future."

Baochai walked to her bedside and sat down. After a while, she raised her head and said word by word: "Then, what about Miss Lin? Will you give her another chance to make a new choice?"

Jia Lian frowned and said, "She is different from you. Her parents are gone, and I am all she has. So no matter whether I am good or bad, she has no choice but to follow me."

Baochai started to cry and said, "You said that in your heart I am the same as Lin girl, and that I have everything she has. But now it seems that in your heart I am not as important as she is."

Jia Lian was very surprised and a little moved to see that Baochai, who was always strong, actually cried.

But he continued: "Everyone in this world is unique, and no two people can be exactly the same.

I didn't lie to you. In my mind, you have the same status as Feng Yatou and Lin Yatou.

From the day I planned to get you, I never thought of making you inferior to anyone.

But you are you after all, and you are different from Feng Yatou and Lin Yatou. Feng Yatou and I are not only married, but she has been married to me for many years and has given birth to a daughter for me, so she is destined to be inseparable from me in this life.

Lin was entrusted to me by her father before he died. Not only did we have a formal marriage contract, but she also lived in our house for many years. She gave me everything, including her status and innocence. So, she had no choice but to follow me. "

Even though Baochai was extremely sad and self-doubting at the moment, she was still stunned when she heard Jia Lian say this. Innocence?

"But you are different. Between you and me, so far, there is only one verbal promise.

Even that may not be your own will..."

Baochai interrupted, "How do you know I didn't do it voluntarily?"

Jia Lian was speechless and did not respond. He only said, "It is precisely because you are different from them that you still have a way out. Moreover, I really like you and respect your character, talent and appearance, so I am willing to give you a chance to choose again. If it were another woman, I might not be so magnanimous."

Baochai said sadly: "But your generosity makes me feel ashamed and embarrassed."

Jia Lian didn't say anything else, just looked at Baochai quietly.

Baochai also looked at him, her bright eyes already filled with tears, appearing even more translucent and lustrous.

She suddenly stood up and said, "Since ancient times, women have been faithful to their husbands. Although I, Xue Baochai, dare not compare myself to the ancient sages, I also know this truth.

You said I had a way out and asked me to make a new choice.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Well, I will make my choice now."

As Baochai spoke, she placed her hands under her armpits and waist, untied the belt she had fastened not long ago, then raised her hands to her shoulders and pulled the collar to both sides.

As the light clothes fell to the ground, what was revealed was Baochai's dazzling white skin, which had never been shown to outsiders.

Jia Lian was stunned and shocked.

He had never expected that Baochai would do this suddenly, and was stunned for a moment.

It was not until he saw Baochai put her hands behind her back, as if she was going to remove the only bra covering her upper body, that Jia Lian suddenly woke up.

For a moment, Jia Lian wanted to sit back and do nothing, because he had been coveting Baochai and those beauties for a long time.

But looking at Baochai's tearful eyes, which were constantly flashing with complex emotions such as stubbornness, pain and unwillingness, Jia Lian still made the right choice.

Baochai is not like Aunt Xue. She has too much self-respect and self-love. Such a person should not be humiliated.

Too much humiliation would damage her foundation.

By then, she might not be herself anymore.

Therefore, Jia Lian stepped forward, hugged Baochai tightly in his arms, and comforted her: "Okay, don't be like this. It's my fault. I shouldn't have said that to you. Now I know how Baochai feels about me. Don't say that I am just stranded temporarily. Even if one day I am at the end of my rope, I will still pull you to accompany me and finish the last journey."

Hearing Jia Lian say this, Baochai, who was hanging on by her last breath, immediately dropped all her worries, laid in Jia Lian's arms, and sobbed bitterly.

Ying'er, who was standing in the corner, had already been stunned. At this moment, the only thing she could do was to quietly withdraw and not disturb the two masters who were expressing their true feelings.

Baochai has fair and smooth skin and bones. The legendary skin as white as ice and as smooth as jade refers to beauties like Baochai.

If it were any other time and place, holding Baochai's almost smooth body in his arms, he would have been distracted and had no other thoughts.

But Baochai was crying so sadly at this time, and Jia Lian didn't want to do anything frivolous.

"Okay, dear, you're crying and it breaks my heart."

Jia Lian patted Baochai's back to comfort her, but it felt icy and smooth, like silk. His thoughts were involuntarily drawn to Baochai's smooth jade back, which made him feel helpless.

Fortunately, Baochai was very good at regulating her emotions, and she stopped crying after a while with Jia Lian's comfort.

She hugged Jia Lian's back and said aggrievedly, "Are you blaming me for not letting you get close to me, so you're planning to leave me alone?"

Baochai was also surprised at her own boldness at this moment, but now that things had come to this, she did not feel any regret at all. Instead, she questioned Jia Lian.

Baochai has never been a naive person. She certainly doesn't think that Jia Lian has no thoughts about her body. She just feels that she cannot let Jia Lian succeed easily.

That's why every time Jia Lian tried to test her, she decisively refused and didn't even give him a chance to kiss him.

But when she heard Jia Lian say that Daiyu had given her reputation and innocence to Jia Lian, she suddenly regretted it.

No matter how smart she is, she is just a sixteen-year-old girl.

When she suspected from Jia Lian's words that she was not as important as Daiyu in Jia Lian's heart, she began to wonder if this was because she had never let Jia Lian get close to her.

She felt very aggrieved and was afraid that Jia Lian would really give up on her.

After much deliberation, she made such a bold decision that was completely different from her own moral principles.

But her inner shame still made her hands hesitate and tremble when she untied her bra.

Jia Lian suddenly rushed up to hug her and comfort her, which made her feel comfortable and touched. She also felt that her decision to cut off her retreat was worth it.

Second Brother Lian is still as upright as ever, worthy of admiration and respect.

What can Jia Lian say when faced with Baochai’s questioning?
Does he dare to say that all his previous statements were just tests of Baochai?

That’s right, in Jia Lian’s heart, Baochai was the woman he was determined to get when he first traveled through time, or when he first went to Nanjing and saw her at the old house of the Xue family, just like Daiyu!
Otherwise, when he learned that Aunt Xue wanted to stand him up, he would have been so angry and would have gone to Aunt Xue to argue right under Baochai's nose.

Now that he had convinced people with reason and dealt with Aunt Xue, there was no reason for him to turn around and push Baochai away.

The purpose of all this is just to test Baochai's feelings towards him.

Although he could feel that Baochai had a crush on him, she was too cunning and her actions and words were always flawless, so even Jia Lian couldn't figure out her thoughts.

This time we retreated to advance and won, which is naturally the current situation.

Even if he miscalculated and failed, and Baochai didn't like him that much, it would still leave a good impression in Baochai's heart that she could let go.

In the future, if I conspire with Aunt Xue, I will be able to take her back.

It only took a little more time, but compared to gaining Baochai's body and soul, he felt it was worth it.

By making up a random excuse to get away with it, Jia Lian was unable to concentrate on breaking down Baochai's defenses.

Baochai was only wearing a bra on her upper body. Not only was her entire back exposed to his hands, but her two arms were also tightly wrapped around his waist.

You know, in addition to Baochai's breasts, her jade back and soft arms can also arouse his great interest.

After all, in the original novel, Baochai, who has the appearance of Yang Guifei, only reveals half of her arm when she unties her bracelet, which makes Jia Baoyu, who grew up among girls, stunned and full of fantasies in his heart. This shows how beautiful and attractive Baochai's snow-white skin and soft arms are.

Right now, these two beauties were right under his eyes, exposed without any cover, but he was unable to lower his head to observe and appreciate them.

The torture involved can be imagined.

Xue Baochai had no idea that the lover in her arms already had a head full of dirty thoughts. Her defenses had just been broken, and she had a rare moment of love in her head.

"What did mother say to you in her room just now?"

"It's nothing, just..."

Jia Lian processed the information he got from Ying'er and provided it to Baochai.

After hearing this, Baochai explained apologetically, "Mother said those things only for my own good, but I didn't mean that in my heart. She is my mother, please don't blame her, okay?"

“No wonder…”

"And I think..."

Baochai suddenly raised her head and looked at Jia Lian seriously: "And I think my mother guessed wrong. There must be some hidden reason for your dismissal this time. You will not be defeated just like this, right?"

Jia Lian was stunned: "How can you be so sure?"

Baochai became more certain when she saw this: "Since I met Brother Lian, he is a man who is very calculating and always plans ahead.

If there really was an irreconcilable rift between you and the emperor, you would certainly not be so relaxed after returning from the hunting ground, and would not have the leisure to run a poetry club with us at home.

You care so much about Sister Feng and Miss Lin that even if you don't think about yourself, for the sake of their future wealth and safety, you will try your best to leave a way out for them.

The fact that you didn't do that means that things are far from the point where you need to find a way out."

Jia Lian almost couldn't help but give Baochai a thumbs up.

He raised one of his hands that was secretly touching Baochai's arm and placed it on Baochai's head, pressing her raised head back onto his shoulder.

My goodness, little girl, you have no idea how rich your capital is.

That bra is made of silk to begin with, and when it is pressed by your chest, the edge is lifted up and no longer touches your skin. When you tilt your head back like this, you can see the incomparable white ravine, which man can bear it?
Jia Lian had to bend down.

"That's right, my precious girl is the smartest. But you said one thing wrong, it's not just for Feng girl and Lin girl, everything I have will always have a share of you.

It can even be said that the reason why I work so hard to gain fame and status is largely because of you, because I know that only in this way can I be worthy of you. "

Baochai is not Daiyu, she immediately understood what Jia Lian said.

She didn't feel that Jia Lian was calling her materialistic. On the contrary, she felt that Jia Lian really understood her.

The love between two people is tragic enough if it lacks the guarantee of material life. Not to mention that Jia Lian is so greedy that he wants to have so many outstanding women by his side.

How can you stay if you don’t have the ability?
Even if they are willing to suffer with him, they will most likely succumb to reality in the end.

Just as she was about to ask something else, she noticed Jia Lian's hands moving around on her body, making her feel a little uncomfortable.

She twisted her body subconsciously, but she didn't know what switch was triggered, which made her suddenly startled.

Then her body went limp and she fell directly into Jia Lian's arms, not daring to say another word.

Jia Lian was a little embarrassed and wanted to let her go, but Baochai's body was so comfortable in his arms that he couldn't bear to let go.

They were silent for a long time, but finally Baochai couldn't hold on any longer.

She put her arms around Jia Lian and tightened them a little, then stood on tiptoe to Jia Lian's ear and whispered softly: "Second brother Lian, please take Baochai. Baochai is willing..."

Nourishes...

The beauty's approval was like the most powerful stimulant. Jia Lian stopped thinking and simply bent down, picked up the beauty by the waist, walked to her bedside and gently put her down.
