Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 298 Willing to be plotted
Jia Lian left quietly. Only Wang Xifeng took Ping'er to see him off. The rest of the Jia family didn't even know that Jia Lian came and left in a hurry.

On this day, Jia Rui came back from the cabinet. He first went to salute the old man and Mrs. Wang, and then returned to Xue Baochai.

Xue Baochai had prepared a sumptuous lunch for Jia Rui, and the couple even drank a few glasses of wine.

Originally, Jia Rui wanted to go to Sister You's place after preparing lunch.But for some reason, after just a few glasses of wine, Jia Rui felt dizzy.

Jia Rui rolled his eyes and seemed to understand something. He glanced at Xue Baochai beside him, and then passed away with peace of mind.

Xue Baochai looked at Jia Rui who had fallen asleep, with a trace of pain in his eyes.

But this time the pain was quickly covered up.

Afterwards, Xue Baochai came to the room next to her. When she entered, she saw that Xue Baoqin was lying on the bed, sound asleep.

Xue Baochai looked at Xue Baoqin coldly, with a trace of hatred in his eyes.

"Send Baoqin to my room." Xue Baochai ordered.

Immediately, two strong women carried Xue Baoqin to Jia Rui's room, and then gently placed Xue Baoqin next to Jia Rui.

After finishing all this, Xue Baochai left the yard with the two women.

When they arrived at a quiet place outside, Xue Baochai took out two banknotes from his arms and threw them to the two women.

"You two take the money and hide in Zhuangzi in the suburbs for a while. You are not allowed to come back without my order."

The two women seemed to have expected such an incident, so they didn't make any noise. They each knelt down, kowtowed to Xue Baochai, then picked up the banknotes on the ground and turned around to leave.

These two mothers-in-law were the absolute confidants that Xue Baochai trained when he entered the Dingxi Marquis Mansion. Many shady things, as well as things that Xue Baochai did not want others to know, were done by these two women-in-law.

What Xue Baochai did this time was too bold. If Jia Rui knew about it, her status in Jia Rui's heart would drop sharply, so Xue Baochai must not leave any flaws.

Because of this, Xue Baochai sent away the two women.

Besides, Jia Rui slept in the room until it was almost dark, and then he woke up.

After waking up, I only felt the warm fragrance and warm jade in my arms.

Jia Rui didn't care at first. He thought he was holding Xue Baochai, so he reached out and touched a few handfuls.

But soon Jia Rui felt something was wrong, because the woman's body shape was different from Xue Baochai.

But even so, Jia Rui didn't take it to heart. If any of the women in this house didn't rush to crawl into his bed, what would it matter if he was the one who fell asleep unintentionally?
Although he didn't take it to heart, Jia Rui was still curious about who this woman was, so he straightened her face and took a closer look, and then he was surprised.

It turned out that the ones lying next to him and sleeping soundly were not the little maids in the mansion, but Xue Baochai's cousin Xue Baoqin.

Then Jia Rui remembered the luncheon, and after that, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Then Jia Rui saw that on this early spring afternoon, the sun was warm and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and the spirit of spring.Xue Baoqin was like a delicate narcissus, lying quietly on the couch. Her face was as gentle as jade, and her eyes were gently closed, as if she was having a sweet dream.

Her posture is like a flower that has just bloomed, graceful and graceful.Her clothes were light and elegant, and they seemed to be lingering like clouds as her figure rose and fell.Her long hair is as silky as water, smooth and shiny, scattered on the white pillow, and complements the surrounding scenery, forming a beautiful picture.

Seeing such a beauty, Jia Rui couldn't help but sink in. He reached out his hand and touched Xue Baoqin's face gently.

After being touched by Jia Rui, Xue Baoqin's long eyelashes trembled a few times, as if she was about to wake up.

But in the end Xue Baoqin fell into a deep sleep again.

Jia Rui sat on the bed, rubbing his forehead with his hands, and a smile appeared on his lips.

This wife really knows how to read people's hearts and understands her own thoughts so thoroughly.

However, this matter was indeed done in a dirty manner. If word spread about it and it would be detrimental to one's reputation, he might as well just pretend not to know about it.

Just when Jia Rui was worrying about the funeral arrangements, the door was pushed open and Ying'er walked in from the outside holding a copper basin.

When she saw that Jia Rui had woken up, there was a hint of anger on her face, but Jia Rui was the master after all, so she could do nothing but come to the bed angrily.

"Uncle, it's time to wash up." Ying'er's tone was very harsh.

Jia Rui felt a little guilty, so he stopped pursuing Ying'er's tone.

He quickly got out of bed, washed his face and hands in a hurry, and then escaped from Xue Baochai's yard.

After Jia Rui left, Xue Baochai came back from the outside.

But when he came back, Xue Baochai's face was gloomy and his eyes were red. It seemed that he had just cried.

The maids and women in the yard all looked at Xue Baochai sympathetically.

After entering the room, Xue Baochai looked at Xue Baoqin on the bed, and then sat sadly on the bedside.

"Grandma, my uncle went too far this time. How could he force his cousin to the bed?" Ying'er said angrily.

"Shut up, are you, a little maid, allowed to talk about the uncle's affairs?"

Ying'er shut up angrily.

After a while, Xue Baoqin opened her eyes on the bed.

The first thing that caught my eye was Xue Baochai's face. "Sister, why are you here?" Xue Baoqin still didn't know what happened.

Xue Baochai winked at Ying'er next to her and asked him to go outside.

Ying'er immediately left the room with the basin in hand.

After a while, Ying'er heard Xue Baoqin's sobbing in the room, but the sound soon disappeared.

After a while, Xue Baochai's voice came from inside, "Ying'er, come in and wait for Baoqin to wash up."

Ying'er agreed and asked the little maid below to change the washing water, and then she carried it into the house again.

Besides, at this time, Jia Rui escaped from Xue Baochai's yard and didn't even dare to stay at home any longer, so he left the Dingxi Hou Mansion directly.

After coming out, Jia Rui woke up completely when the wind blew like this.

Not right!

I haven’t done anything wrong, so why should I run away?
Although Jia Rui wanted to turn around and go back, he stopped again when he thought about Old Master Jia's board in the house.

Even if I am not at fault, Xue Baochai is the one who brought me and Xue Baoqin together, but I can't talk about this kind of thing to Mr. Jia!

In the end, you still have to carry everything on your own.

If I want to go back now, I have to face Mr. Jia’s roar and criticism.

Jia Rui complained a few words, as if he disliked Xue Baochai's arrangement, but he felt a little happy in his heart.

The little beauty Xue Baoqin is finally hers.

Although he was happy, Jia Rui was not planning to go back home today. After all, something embarrassing had just happened. He wanted to stay away for a few days to avoid the blushes of both parties after seeing each other.

So Jia Rui walked around the street and came to the alley of Ningrong Street, and then directly entered the small courtyard of the little nun Jingchen.

In the next few days, Jia Rui did not return home and stayed here to avoid embarrassment.

Until one day, Mr. Jia Dairu hadn't seen Jia Rui for several days and felt a little strange, so he called Jia Rui's personal servant Wangcai to his side.

"How come the uncle of your family has been missing these days? Is there anything important going on in the court?"

Wangcai opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer the old man.

The old man has been teaching for so many years, and he already knows the expressions of his students very well.

Just like Wangcai is like now, it's like students who obviously didn't do their homework but still pretended to be confused.

Therefore, the old man stopped talking to Wangcai and shouted directly to the outside: "Come two people, take this slave and give me twenty boards."

This time Wangcai was frightened.

Mr. Jia Dairu does what he says, even Jia Rui has been beaten several times, let alone a boy?
Although he was scared, Wangcai did not dare to betray Jia Rui. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and be beaten twenty times by the old man.

After the fight, Wangcai still insisted that he didn't know where Jia Rui had gone. This time he really made the old man anxious.

There was no need for anyone else to do it. The old man took the board and hit it twenty times.

Mr. Jia Dairu's body is much stronger than before, all thanks to the miraculous medicines Jia Rui offers from time to time.

Therefore, these twenty blows were no worse than those of the strong boys.

After forty boards, Wangcai had been beaten to pieces.

But this guy was also stubborn and still didn't say anything. Just when the stalemate was going on, Mrs. Wang came over.

She just glared at Mr. Jia Dairu fiercely, and the old man couldn't help but feel guilty and dropped the board in his hand.

After that, Mrs. Wang had Wangcai sent to a clean room, and then she went in alone and whispered a few words to Wangcai.

When she came out, Mrs. Wang held her head high and looked at Mr. Jia Dairu with disdain.

"Get me a car, I want to go out."

"What are you going for?" Jia Dairu asked hesitantly.

"To meet our precious grandson."

"It just so happens that I haven't seen this evildoer for several days. I'll go with you."

Mrs. Wang glared at Jia Dairu fiercely, "Just stay there. My grandson hid because he was afraid of you. Didn't you make our grandson even more reluctant to go home?"

Mr. Jia Dairu feels that he is really wronged. In the past few years, he has never laid a finger on your precious grandson.

But now that his husband is in despair, he can only roll up his sleeves and go back to his small study. He doesn't care about this kind of nonsense.

Mrs. Wang drove out of Dingxihou Mansion in a car, then turned around the main street of Rong Street and came to Jingchen's small courtyard.

Looking at the tidy little yard, Mrs. Wang was still a little emotional. She didn't expect that her grandson would arrange a small nest so close to home.
