Red Mansion Beijingwang

On the corridor, the maid Cui Lu clutched a handkerchief in her white hands and tiptoed to look at the girl who was looking at the corner of the wall not far away. Her pretty face showed a hint of anxiety.

The girl said she was going to take a look, but why has she not come back for so long? It seems like she is addicted to it and doesn't want to leave. Is it really that beautiful?

After thinking it over again and again, Cuilu felt that she could not wait any longer. She had to take the girl away quickly before the prince noticed.

Thinking of this, Cuilu tiptoed forward and looked at the girl's slightly raised body like a thief. Especially since she had come over here but the girl didn't notice at all. How focused was she? She just found it funny in her heart.

Cuilu's beautiful eyes turned slightly, and she put her hand on the girl's shoulder. When she was about to speak, Xiangyun reacted as if by stress and screamed in surprise, which scared Cuilu and her pretty face turned pale.

The sound made by the girl must have made the prince realize that he had done something bad with good intentions!

"Girl." Cuilu looked nervous, her beautiful eyes slightly widened, her pretty face full of fear, she regretted it so much that her intestines turned green.

Xiangyun covered her mouth with a handkerchief. Looking at Cuilu's expression, she felt helpless. She didn't know why Cuilu wanted to slap her, and she was so scared that she couldn't help but make a sound.

But now is not the time to blame Cuilu, not to mention that it was her who was peeping like a madman. If anyone really wants to blame someone, it can only be blamed on her for being confused.

Biting her lips tightly with pearly teeth, Xiangyun did not want to explain. She took Cuilu's hand and said softly, "Let's go first."

Right now, she could only hope that her brother-in-law didn't hear it. Even though Xiangyun knew in her heart that it was unlikely, people would always believe in that glimmer of possibility when they were desperate, or rather, they would expect that glimmer of possibility.

In the side room, Shui Rong stared at the empty desk, his mind immersed in the girl's eloquence which was getting better and better. His pretty face showed a hint of unnaturalness, and his brows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed.

Gently stroking the boy's beautiful head, Shui Rong couldn't help but admire Bao Qin's intelligence. He understood everything at once and became more and more satisfied.

All we can say is that the girl has a good foundation, is clever and versatile, and she understood everything immediately. In this respect, she is much better than Daiyu, who is usually sharp-tongued.

Baoqin's face flushed, and her eyes were charming. She didn't know how, but she ended up serving her brother-in-law so well. She even listened to his unbearable teachings, feeling ashamed.

But the girl looked at her brother-in-law's satisfied face and couldn't say much. She could only serve him wholeheartedly. After all, her brother-in-law had been very dedicated before.

As the saying goes, "If someone gives you a peach, you should give him a plum in return", she couldn't let her brother-in-law look down on her.

At this moment, a scream was heard, which shocked Baoqin's heart. She felt as if struck by lightning. Her little face, which was originally as beautiful as a red plum, turned pale instantly.

Who...who is this person outside? How can she still live her life with the face of a human being after being seen in such an embarrassing state?

At this moment, Baoqin's heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of her throat. Her mood was up and down and she was at a loss. All kinds of speculations surged in her mind.

Who is outside?
Shui Rong frowned, he also heard the noise outside, dissatisfaction arose in his heart, he wanted to slap this ignorant bastard to death for daring to disturb him at this time.

Feeling the girl's fear and nervousness, Shui Rong reached out and gently stroked the girl's beautiful head to comfort her, then frowned and shouted, "Who's outside?"

Outside, Xiangyun wanted to pull Cuilu away, but she heard the young man's shout, which was different from the usual gentle voice. It seemed like a raging fire, which made Xiangyun's steps tremble and a sense of panic surge in her heart.

Cuilu also heard the prince's angry voice and was extremely worried. Her eyes were full of fear when she looked at Xiangyun.

"Brother-in-law, it's me." Xiangyun suppressed the fear in her heart, her voice trembling slightly.

Shui Rong naturally recognized that it was Xiangyun's voice. He frowned slightly, and his pretty face was full of unnatural expression. He didn't know what to say for a moment.

Didn’t Xiangyun go home? Why is she suddenly outside?

No matter what, Shui Rong no longer had the intention of slapping her to death.

Baoqin, who was at a loss, heard Xiangyun's voice, and her originally frightened heart relaxed a little, as if a heavy burden had been lifted. She was secretly glad that the person outside was Xiangyun.

After all, she is my good sister. It is better to let her know the relationship between me and my brother-in-law than to let other people know.

However, this embarrassing appearance still made the young girl feel ashamed and unable to face others.

After a pause, Shui Rong said, "It's Yun girl, you went home, why are you outside now?"

Xiangyun felt relieved when she saw the young man's tone soften. She took a deep breath and said, "I'm here to return the cloak to my brother-in-law."

"Return the cloak"

Shui Rong remembered that his cloak was indeed given to Xiangyun, so it made sense for him to return the cloak.

But according to what Xiangyun said, there was a very obvious loophole, that is, how did Xiangyun know that he was in the empty house that he randomly selected.

I think it was because when I was returning the cloak, I saw him and Baoqin coming into the room, so I followed them.

As for the blank period, Xiangyun was probably away all the time, so she must know everything that happened between him and Baoqin.

Tsk tsk tsk. I didn't expect that this girl Xiangyun actually has this hobby.

Thinking of this, Shui Rong gently patted Bao Qin's head and said, "I see. It's just a cloak, so don't take it to heart."

Giving up halfway is not Shuirong's standard for being a human being.

Baoqin was startled and raised her delicate head to look at the young man. Her plump face was flushed like a rosy cloud, and her bright eyes, as clear as water, were slightly widened under her willow-shaped eyebrows, with a hint of disbelief between her eyebrows.

She understood what the boy meant, but Sister Yun was still outside at the moment, so how could her brother-in-law still have such thoughts?

"Sister~"

As soon as she finished speaking, Baoqin stammered and was unable to utter a word. Her pretty face was full of shame and anger, and she was secretly cursing in her heart, full of complaints.

Xiangyun's plump cheeks showed a bit of unnatural color when she heard this, and she replied: "Brother-in-law is right, I was rude, I will send the cloak to you later."

At this time, the girl also understood that her brother-in-law did not blame her, and the heavy stone in her heart fell to the ground. However, thinking about the ridiculous things between the two people in the room, she couldn't help but tremble at the tip of her heart, and two rosy blushes appeared on her snow-white face.

"Sister Yun knows about the relationship between brother-in-law and sister Baoqin, right?"

Xiangyun had just calmed down when she heard her brother-in-law's words. Her heart was lifted up again. Her plump face was burning hot and she was extremely shy.

Not only did she know about her brother-in-law and Baoqin, she also saw it all, and knew it clearly.

These two people are so shameless that they actually serve each other. She never thought that her sister Baoqin, who has always been smart, would do such a thing, and she never thought that her brother-in-law, who has always been gentle, would not be disgusted at all.

At this moment, Xiangyun's worldview was somewhat shattered.

Baoqin's heart was shocked, her cheeks flushed red, she thought to herself that her brother-in-law was such a bad man. It was too late for her to distance herself from him now, but he brought it up out of the blue. This was really embarrassing.

Baoqin, who was full of resentment in her heart, was ashamed and annoyed. She couldn't help but slightly close her white teeth, as if in revenge, expressing her dissatisfaction, and also as a warning to her brother-in-law to calm down.

Shui Rong frowned, stretched out his hand and pinched the girl's soft face, and said softly: "Okay, Yun girl, if she knows, then she knows. Everyone will know sooner or later anyway. Do you want to stay in secret for the rest of your life?"

Baoqin was startled when she heard that, but then she was filled with joy and began to serve wholeheartedly.

What her brother-in-law said was exactly what she wanted. If her brother-in-law had been secretive, she would have felt that he was insincere and was only treating her as a prostitute for his own amusement.

In just a moment, Baoqin came back to her senses and cursed in her heart.

This is true, but I am in such an embarrassing situation now, how can I face people? I guess my brother-in-law is just greedy for pleasure and has lost his mind due to lust.

Xiangyun felt a mixture of shyness and uneasiness in her heart. She held the embroidered handkerchief tightly in her bare hands. Her bright eyes flickered under her slender eyebrows. After a moment's silence, she bit her pink lips with her pearly teeth and said softly, "Okay, I know." Now that it had come to this, what else could she deny?

Shui Rong frowned, as if he was restraining something, ready to strike. He reached out and pressed the girl's beautiful head, lowering his voice and saying, "Sister Yun, wait a minute, brother-in-law will be busy for a while."

Xiangyun listened to the young man's strange voice, as if he was trying to restrain himself. She couldn't help feeling puzzled. Then she heard rustling sounds from the inner room, and suddenly she understood.

She had seen it before when she was spying. It was Baoqin.
At this moment, Xiangyun was so embarrassed that she just wanted to escape, but thinking of her brother-in-law's words asking her to wait, she couldn't leave without permission, so she had to wait outside.

Suddenly, a relieved voice came from the young man in the inner room, accompanied by Baoqin's cough. Xiangyun was confused for a moment. She stared at the door with only a crack left, her eyes blank.

"Squeak."

After a while, the door was opened, and the young man was seen standing at the door, tall and straight.

Xiangyun felt a little embarrassed and lowered her head slightly. However, when her eyes fell on the young man, she couldn't help but think of that stunning glimpse. She lowered her head again, feeling extremely ashamed.

Cuilu, who was standing by, lowered her head and said nothing. From the previous conversation between the prince and the girl, she knew that there was something fishy going on between the prince and Baoqin. Thinking about it carefully, the two of them were hiding in the house, and they might be doing something bad, while the girl was eavesdropping outside.
Tsk tsk tsk. What a complicated relationship. As a maid, she has no right to take care of these things. The best way is to keep her head down and be an invisible person.

Shui Rong stared at the girl with drooping eyebrows, his eyes moved slightly, and said: "It's cold outside, Sister Yun, you should come in and talk!"

Looking at Xiangyun's shy face, Shui Rong realized that as he thought, this girl Yun really saw it outside.

Xiangyun's heart was shaken when she heard the words. She looked up at the young man with a hint of shyness between her brows. She nodded slightly and walked towards the house.

After entering the room, Xiangyun stared at the girl sitting on a few stools. She saw the girl wiping her crystal pink lips with a handkerchief. Her snow-white face was pink, and under her willow-leaf eyebrows, her bright eyes were full of water, and there seemed to be a little red at the corners of her eyes.

"Sister Yun." Baoqin felt shy and tilted her head slightly, not daring to look the girl in the face.

My brother-in-law is such a bad guy. He almost couldn't breathe before, and now he invites Sister Yun to come in. Is he not embarrassed enough? He is really bad. I will never do it for my brother-in-law again.

Xiangyun was not much better. A blush appeared on her plump face. She called out softly, "Sister Baoqin," and then lowered her head, not knowing what to say.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became awkward.

Shui Rong didn't care. He walked over, held Bao Qin's soft hand, and said with a smile, "Sister Yun, please sit down."

There is an old saying that goes, as long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.

In front of Sister Yun, the young man held her hand, which made Baoqin feel shy. She tried to pull her hand away, but found that she couldn't. Her plump face under her drooping head was flushed like a rosy cloud, and she felt helpless.

Xiangyun stared at the two people holding hands, her bright eyes flashed under her willow-leaf brows, and a strange feeling arose in her heart, which was quite uncomfortable.

Shui Rong didn't care. He stared at the plump girl in front of him and said, "Sister Yun, Baoqin doesn't know about the matter between brother-in-law and sister Baoqin yet. In order to avoid trouble, brother-in-law wants to tell Baoqin about it after some time."

Baoqin glanced at the young man, blinked, but didn't say anything. After all, she and Baojie were cousins, and it would be difficult and embarrassing to tell anyone about what had happened.

Xiangyun understood what he said and said hurriedly, "Don't worry, brother-in-law, I will keep my mouth shut."

After saying that, Xiangyun looked up at the two of them, and after hesitating for a while, she couldn't help but ask, "When did brother-in-law and sister Baoqin get together?"

On weekdays, Baoqin basically played with her, but no one knew how Baoqin got involved with her brother-in-law. It was really unbelievable.

Shui Rong did not hide it and said, "It happened not long ago."

Xiangyun heard this and felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. She looked up at the shy girl, her bright eyes under her willow-leaf eyebrows filled with a hint of anger and resentment, and she said softly, "Congratulations, sister."

She got together with her brother-in-law without anyone knowing, without revealing anything. She is truly her good sister.

Baoqin heard something wrong, raised her eyes and looked at Xiangyun, blinked her beautiful eyes, and felt a strange feeling in her heart.

Sister Yun's sour tone, could it be that she is envious of me?

It's no wonder she thought so. After all, a man of her brother-in-law's character would be admired by everyone, especially his kind personality. He treats her sisters very much.

It’s normal for such a good person to have some thoughts in his mind!
Pursing her pink lips, Baoqin suddenly said, "Brother-in-law, please talk to Sister Yun. I will go back first."

If what she guessed was correct, it would not be a good thing. After all, she was secretly intimate with her brother-in-law, and she always felt sorry for Sister Bao and Sister Yuanchun who had always been kind to her. If she could drag Sister Yun along, there would always be someone to share the burden.

What's more, she was thirsty at the moment, and she didn't have the time to waste here with her brother-in-law and Sister Yun. If she stayed any longer, she would be embarrassed to death, so it would be better to leave early.

Shui Rong was stunned when he heard this. Before he could say anything, he saw Bao Qin jump down from the stool and run out. He couldn't help but scolded with a smile: "This girl is still so impetuous."

Xiangyun felt uncomfortable when she heard the doting tone in the boy's voice. She took a step forward, handed the cloak in her hand to the boy, lowered her eyes and said, "Brother-in-law, I'll return this cloak to you. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

Baoqin had already left, so why did she stay here? Why did her brother-in-law call her in just to make her keep silent? It was really unnecessary.

Shui Rong stared at the girl and said, "Sister Yun, wait a minute."

Xiangyun paused when she heard this, turned around and looked at the young man, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and asked softly, "Brother-in-law, is there anything else?"

She had already promised not to tell anyone and had returned the cloak, so what else did her brother-in-law want.

Shui Rong stared at the boy's plump face, his eyes moved slightly, and he leaned forward and whispered: "Yun girl, I peeked at her outside before. Did you think she was pretty?"

Xiangyun's body trembled violently when she heard that. Her bright eyes widened under her willow-leaf brows. Her snow-white face flushed like a rosy cloud and she felt extremely ashamed.

It turns out my brother-in-law knew about it. I'm so embarrassed.

"Brother-in-law, I...I didn't." Xiangyun lowered her head, her voice almost trembling, and she stammered before she said such a false statement.

How should she answer this question? Should she answer truthfully? Or should she go against her conscience?

No matter which one you choose, it is equivalent to admitting your own behavior and there is no way to answer it.

Shui Rong looked at the girl's embarrassment and chuckled. He reached out and held the girl's soft hand, saying, "Brother-in-law is just asking casually. Don't worry, sister."

Xiangyun's cheeks turned red with shame. She stared at the young man and blinked, her eyes full of embarrassment.

Brother-in-law can talk, but why is he holding her hand?

Immediately, Xiangyun felt a force coming, and her body was pulled over, and then she crashed into the boy's arms. The boy's breath lingered between her nostrils, which made Xiangyun's heart tremble. She subconsciously stretched out her hand to resist and said in a trembling voice: "Brother-in-law, what are you doing?"

What is my brother-in-law trying to do?
"Actually, my brother-in-law likes Sister Yun very much, too."

Shui Rong actually liked Xiangyun, a young and lively girl. Since Xiangyun wanted to peek, Shui Rong simply went along with it.

If Shui Rong were to push the generous Shi Xiangyun away, he would really be reluctant to do so. One more person in the mansion wouldn't be too much, so why not.
Xiangyun's body trembled, and for some reason, she felt a surge of joy in her heart, and asked, "Really?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiangyun came back to her senses, her snow-white face turned red, her heart was beating fast, and she felt extremely embarrassed.

Why did she ask back? It's so embarrassing.

Hearing Xiangyun's question, Shui Rong understood in his heart. He reached out and pinched the girl's chin and lifted it up slightly. Without saying much, he leaned forward and kissed the girl's lips.

Xiangyun saw the young man approaching, her heart trembled, and her beautiful eyes closed subconsciously, and then the young man's gentle breath came towards her, making Xiangyun dazed and at a loss. (End of this chapter)
