King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 175 Sister Bao, I want to interrogate you!

The news of Deng An's arrival at the mansion quickly reached the ears of the Jia family's masters.

Aunt Xue was chatting with Mrs. Wang, when they heard the news, they couldn't sit still, and immediately set off to Lixiangyuan.

"Sister, my master and I are being oppressed like this now, and when we see the visiting father-in-law, you should say a few more words for us!" Mrs. Wang said with an aggrieved expression.

In fact, she wanted Yuan Chun to help, but it was a pity that after her daughter got married, she seemed to be cut off from the Rongguo Mansion, not to mention helping, she didn't even greet her a few times a year.

This time when such a big incident happened to the family, Yuan Chun not only failed to help, but even sent someone to reprimand her, which broke Madam Wang's heart.

However, from Yuan Chun's point of view, Mrs. Wang is the pro version of Aunt Zhao, and it is extremely stupid not to understand the situation.

"Oh... I'll try my best!" Aunt Xue was helpless.

After hearing Baochai's analysis, Aunt Xue was very aware of the situation, knowing that helping her sister, Mrs. Wang, might actually harm her.

These days, I have talked with Mrs. Wang many times. In fact, Aunt Xue has been enlightening my sister, hoping that she can accept the reality.

Let's say that Jia Amnesty led Deng An all the way to the outside of Lixiang Courtyard, when Mrs. Xing also rushed over.

Entering the courtyard, Jia Amnesty immediately ordered: "Quickly ask your wives to come out to greet you, Eunuch Deng from the palace is here!"

"Back to the master, our wife is out!"

"Then hurry up and look for it!" Mrs. Xing scolded, she still didn't forget to play with her prestige at this time.

The movement in the yard also disturbed everyone in the house at this moment, and they all leaned to the window to check out of curiosity.

"Who is that person in the middle? How could he be so domineering!" Yingchun couldn't help but ask.

Wang Xifeng sighed at the side: "Everyone who comes to the palace is like this!"

When she was housekeeper before, she was often ripped off by eunuchs big and small in the palace, and she didn't have good words for these people.

At this time, Tanchun asked curiously: "The people in the palace, how come to find my aunt?"

Wang Xifeng guessed the reason, so she looked at Baochai.

"I'll go out and have a look!" Baochai said calmly.

"Why don't you wait for my aunt to come back?" Daiyu was full of worry.

Several times people from the palace disturbed the peace of Rongguo Mansion, so Daiyu regarded these people as disaster stars.

Now that these people came to Xue's house, Daiyu was only worried, fearing that something might happen to Baochai.

Baochai smiled, stroked Daiyu's slender shoulders, and said, "Sister, don't worry, when I really enter the palace in the future, I will have to deal with these people!"

After saying this, Baochai walked to the main hall, and then walked out of the gate.

Seeing her appearance, Deng An, who was posing, immediately put on a smiling face, and trotted towards Baochai.

"Slave Deng An, I met Miss Xue!"

Deng An treated them differently, which really made Jia She, who was standing behind, feel very distressed. He was actually inferior to a younger generation.

All this is because Deng An is a first-class smart person who knows his master's thoughts very well.

Give Xue Baochai something, promise to let Baochai be selected as the princess's servant, let Yinglian go to worship Baochai as a teacher, let Xue's family live in the palace, and give the Xue family something...

It is impossible to do so many things because of Mrs. Xue's family, let alone because of Xue Pan, so the answer is ready to come out.

Walking down the steps, Baochai asked, "Eunuch Deng, what can I teach you about this trip?"

"The Thirteenth Lord ordered the slaves to come over and ask, when will Uncle Xue return to Beijing?"

Even though he said this, Deng An knew very well that the real purpose of Zhu Jinghong sending him here was for what he was going to say next.

At this moment, Deng An couldn't help but feel that the Thirteenth Master didn't treat him as one of his own, otherwise why would he beat around the bush like this.

"I received a letter three days ago, saying that it will take some time, and it is really uncertain when I will return to Beijing!"

Deng An didn't care about this, but went on to say: "Uncle Xue ran an errand for the thirteenth master, leaving the girl's family helpless. The thirteenth master ordered... If the girl has any difficulties, you can just speak up!"

"Thank you Thirteenth Lord for your concern!"

"Today's words have been brought, the servant will not bother the girl, let me take my leave..."

"Father-in-law, walk slowly!"

When Deng An turned around, Jia She and his wife immediately went up to him, their flattery was beyond words.

However, Deng An regained his dead face again, which really made Jia She very angry, but he had to accompany him with a smiling face.

After Deng An left, Daiyu and the others came out of the room, and Baochai turned to greet them.

"Why are you leaving now, isn't your aunt here yet?" Daiyu asked.

Wang Xifeng replied with a smile: "This little eunuch is unusual. He left after passing on the word, and he didn't even ask for a reward!"

"Who can tell clearly about the affairs in the palace, so we don't have to worry about it!" Baochai agreed, unwilling to dwell on the matter.

As the person involved, she could see clearly that the real purpose of Deng An's trip was her.

"Okay, okay, whoever he is, let's go in and play!" Wang Xifeng didn't care, as long as she knew that the Xue family was doing well.

To attract Zhu Jinghong to send someone to greet him, in Wang Xifeng's opinion, it was already too good to be true.

Soon, Aunt Xue led Mrs. Wang over, and they met Deng An waiting on the road, but the latter didn't have much to say.

Curious, Aunt Xue returned to Lixiangyuan, wanting to ask Baochai for clarification.

After asking about the situation, Aunt Xue didn't think much about it, but Mrs. Wang had the same thoughts as Wang Xifeng.

In the future, the Xue family may be able to get up, just as my own help, if the two families can get married, then they will be completely tied together...

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang looked at Baochai, and the more she looked at her, the more she felt satisfied, so she began to make plans in her heart.

With their elders here, the girls felt uncomfortable.

Mrs. Wang talked to Baochai for a while, and when she took her leave, Tanchun and the others also left.

"Miss Lin, please stay and leave after lunch!" Aunt Xue warmly invited.

Just as Daiyu had this intention, she immediately thanked her: "If that's the case...it's disrespectful!"

"Sister Bao, let's go inside and play!" Daiyu looked at Baochai, and after saying that, she directly pulled people inside.

Baochai had no choice but to go in with her.

Helping Baochai to sit on the chair, Daiyu also drove out the maids in the house, seeing that Baochai didn't understand why.

Turning around and walking towards the desk, Daiyu picked up the paperweight and slapped it on the table with a "slap", which startled Xue Baochai.

"Sister Lin, what trick are you playing?"

But Daiyu turned around and said solemnly: "Sister Bao... sit down, I want to interrogate you!"

"Interview with me?" Baochai was greatly surprised, but at the same time found it funny.

"Lin Qingtian, what do you want to interrogate me for?"

Walking towards Baochai, Daiyu said slowly, "Sister Bao, please tell me, what is your relationship with Lord Thirteen?"

"Why did the eunuch treat you so respectfully, why did he care about your problems, why did he give Sister Bao so many good things, why..."

Daiyu has a clever mind and is more careful in observing things. During this period of time she was at Baochai's place, but she found many strange things.

For example, various imperial gifts, such as Baochai's expression and eyes obviously changed every time Zhu Jinghong was mentioned.

At this moment, these facts were pointed out one by one, and Baochai's face suddenly changed.

"Sister, what do you mean by that?"

"Sister Bao, you refuse to tell the truth? Then let me tell you...there is only one truth!"

Seeing Daiyu's confident appearance, Baochai unconsciously asked, "What's the truth?"

Daiyu went around behind Baochai, and said with a smile: "It must be the Thirteenth Lord who falls in love with you, and Sister Bao, you... also fall in love with the Thirteenth Lord!"

"You damn girl, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Baochai was so ashamed that she got up and was about to pull Daiyu, who was already prepared and easily avoided it.

Seeing Daiyu laughing, Baochai was also very angry, and he could say whatever he said just now.

"If I don't teach you a lesson today, you will go against the sky even more in the future!"

In order to avoid being "retaliated", Daiyu ran out of the house with a smile, and Baochai chased after her. At this time, she could no longer care about her ladylike image.

While jogging, Daiyu said with a smile: "In my opinion, sister Bao's election as a waiter, I'm afraid it's just a drunkard's intentions!"

"You still dare to talk nonsense... see if I don't tear your mouth!" Baochai became more and more annoyed.

"Girl, what's the matter with you, everyone, run slowly...be careful if you trip over!"

At this moment, outside the Lixiangyuan, Jia Baoyu sneaked over, just because he knew that Daiyu was here, so he sneaked over to meet her.

Hearing the noise inside, Jia Baoyu was immediately overjoyed, compared to staying in the school every day now, playing around with the sisters is more interesting!

As soon as he entered the gate, he heard Daiyu talking, so he asked loudly: "Sister Lin, why is the drunkard not interested in drinking!"

Hearing this word again, Baochai was furious, stopped and looked at Jia Baoyu with a sullen expression.

"It has nothing to do with you!" Baochai said coldly.

The more she looked at Baoyu, the more angry she felt, and Baochai couldn't help scolding, "Why are you in the inner house again? Believe it or not, I'll go and tell my uncle!"

Baoyu was so frightened by these words that he begged for forgiveness immediately, "Sister Bao, I'm going back now!"

Turning around, Baoyu couldn't help muttering in her heart: "Sister Bao is very easy-going, what happened today? I haven't even spoken to Sister Lin yet!"
