Red Mansion Beijingwang

Chapter 522 Shui Rong: Don’t try to guess what a woman is thinking
As night fell, lights were lit in every courtyard of the palace.

In the warm room of the wing of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Daiyu was bathing in a bathtub being served by Zijuan.

In the bathtub, the girl stretched out her slender hands to scoop the water to wash her soft and fragrant body. On the elevated platform, the orange-yellow light shone on her fragrant skin, which was white with a hint of pink and sparkling.

Zijuan was holding a towel while Daiyu was bathing. Seeing the girl's slightly drooping eyelids, she thought for a moment and asked, "Miss, I see that you are not in a good mood today. Is it because of the princess's matter?"

As a personal maid, Zijuan knows Daiyu too well. Today, the princess came unexpectedly, pointed out the matter between the prince and the girl, and accepted the girl. This is a good thing, so why is the girl still a little unhappy?

Daiyu said softly, "Big sister is such a wonderful person, how could I be bothered by her?"

To be honest, her cousin had an affair with her brother, and it was good enough that her elder sister did not blame her. Now she treats her even more kindly. She cannot respect her enough.

In terms of "heart", she can't compare.

"What is that?" Zijuan asked with some confusion.

Daiyu raised her eyebrows and said in a clear voice, "Humph, who else could it be? It's just that philandering brother."

"My lord."

Zijuan was shocked when she heard this. She blinked her bright eyes and asked in confusion, "The prince didn't do anything. Why did the girl blame him for no reason?"

How could my girl, with her amazing train of thought, take her anger out on the prince? She can never do this again!
Daiyu listened to Zijuan's somewhat reproachful tone, frowned slightly, looked at Zijuan with one eye, and snorted, "That's right, your heart is always with your brother, why am I telling you all this, I will talk to your brother tomorrow and ask you to serve him."

Before she had an affair with her brother, Zijuan always spoke well of her brother in front of her, but now she doesn't even try to hide it.

Zijuan was speechless when she heard this, and said helplessly: "I was concentrating on serving the young lady, and I didn't think about serving the prince."

How could she be siding with the prince? She didn't have any intention of doing that. She just spoke out to persuade him because she was afraid that her daughter would have a quarrel with the prince and it would damage their relationship.

Daiyu snorted and spat, "That sounds nice, but I see you, a little slut, serving your brother so wholeheartedly, and you are not hurt..."

Zijuan's pretty face flushed red, she stamped her feet and said coquettishly, "Girl, what are you talking about!"

She served the prince, and it was because the girl couldn't bear it. Why did she bring up these things now? It's really embarrassing.

Daiyu had apparently come back to her senses. Her snow-white face was flushed, and her crystal eyes were full under her curved eyebrows, like a blooming red plum, bright and charming.

I was so angry that I even said these private words. I am really crazy.

Just when the two were embarrassed, Xiren came from outside and said, "Miss, the prince is coming."

Daiyu was delighted when she heard this. She looked outside the room, then she remembered that she was bathing. She couldn't help but feel shy and said, "Zijuan, help me put on my clothes."

Zijuan was also shy. After thinking for a while, she said, "The girl is washing now."

Getting dressed right after taking a bath is just showing off. Besides, the girl and the prince understand each other and know each other well, so there is no need to be so shy.

Daiyu's cheeks flushed red, her heart was filled with shame, her beautiful eyelashes trembled, and she said in embarrassment, "Stop talking, help me get dressed first, and we can talk about other things later."

She also understood her ridiculous brother. It would be impolite for him to see her bathing. Even though they had seen everything they should have seen, Daiyu did not want to be teased by her brother. That was too shameful.

Upon hearing this, Zijuan felt helpless and had to do as the girl wished.

Shui Rong lifted the curtain and walked in, looking up, he saw Daiyu standing up in the bathtub, she had a petite figure, a slender waist, her three thousand black hair hanging down, her hair was wet, a few strands stuck to her bright little face, revealing a bit of comfort after bathing, under the reflection of the orange light, her skin was like a baby in March, soft and delicate.

The lotus emerging from the water is beautiful and stunning.

"Brother, why...why are you here?" When Daiyu saw the young man, her heart was in turmoil. She said shyly and angrily, and shrank back into the bathtub, her slender hands around her shoulders, and her snow-white face flushed red.

Shui Rong's eyes narrowed slightly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he walked forward and said softly: "Come and see my sister."

I had discussed it with Yuanchun last night and let her explain everything. However, Shui Rong was still worried, so he came to check on her, in order to prevent this love from making the petty Lin Daiyu get stuck in a dead end and upset herself.

You know, now Lin Daiyu's body is not just her own.

Daiyu's eyes were full of shame and anger under her curved eyebrows, and her face was flushed. Seeing the young man coming straight towards her, she felt even more embarrassed. She said in a shy and flustered voice, "Brother, get out quickly."

Even though they were in tune with each other and knew each other's background, they still felt ashamed to be stared at nakedly like this.

Shui Rong had already come in, resting his hands on the tub, staring at the shy face of the girl, smiled, and said, "Pin'er, we are already an old couple, what is there to be embarrassed about?"

Daiyu: "..."

The old couple were happy to hear this, but at the moment they didn't look like a couple at all, but more like a lecher molesting a young lady.

Shui Rong glanced at the pretty and blushing Zijuan beside him, reached out and took the towel from her hand, and said with a smile: "Let me help Pin'er take a bath!"

Daiyu trembled when she heard this, and her snowy face turned red as fire. She felt extremely ashamed and said in a trembling voice, "Brother, please stop making trouble."

Let her brother help her take a bath, and she can still do it.

If she had known this, why would she take a shower?

Shui Rong didn't take it seriously, and came forward with a towel in hand, saying softly, "Pin'er, has Yuanchun explained our situation to you today?"

At this time, Daiyu was extremely ashamed and annoyed. When she heard the young man's words, her snow-white cheeks turned red like peach cores. Her eyes were as bright as water under her two curved eyebrows. She replied in a trembling voice, "Yes, elder sister has explained everything."

Speaking of this, Daiyu was actually quite happy and sweet in her heart, because the young man kept his promise to her, which made her feel valued.

Shui Rong gently stirred the water in the tub, splashing it on the girl's jade skin, making it even more crystal clear and beautiful like amber. He asked softly, "What does Pin'er mean?"

Daiyu understood what her brother was asking about, she also knew that her brother wanted to delay her official entry into the mansion by two years, just to let her spend two more years with her sisters.

In fact, Daiyu also had the same idea. Her brother could do this, which showed that he knew and understood her. In this way, it was not in vain that she was in love with her brother.

Daiyu pursed her pink lips and said in a trembling voice, "Well, I want to wait two years before doing it, and my elder sister agreed."

Shui Rong nodded slightly and said, "Then we will do as Pin'er wishes and keep it secret for now. When Pin'er is able to communicate, she will tell brother and he will immediately welcome Pin'er into the mansion and make sure she has a great time." In fact, after making it clear to Yuanchun, Daiyu could come into the mansion at any time, but Shui Rong knew that Daiyu did not like being restrained. Once their status was determined, Daiyu would not be as convenient as her adopted sister, so he decided to wait.

Secondly, it was nothing more than some selfish motives, and being so secretive with Pin'er also made Shui Rong quite interested.

"Glorious?"

Daiyu heard this, her eyes narrowed slightly under her two curved eyebrows, and a hint of sadness appeared on her snowy face. She said, "My little sister is so beautiful, brother, please don't hurt my heart."

Her secret affair with her brother was against etiquette. Not to mention the glory or anything like that, it was good enough that she didn't embarrass herself. How could she talk about glory or anything like that?

Alas, I don’t know why, but when I met my brother, I felt like I was possessed. I gave up everything under his sweet words.

Shui Rong knew that the girl was feeling sorry for herself again, so he chuckled, scratched her nose, and said jokingly, "When did you ever hurt Pin'er's heart, please don't wrongly accuse her."

"Oh, brother, you..."

Daiyu's delicate body trembled, her snowy face flushed like rouge, her bright eyes were full of shame and anger, and she said angrily: "Brother, if you are like this, I will be angry."

Just take a shower, why shave your nose? Is it even possible to shave it?
Shui Rong smiled, but he was a little more restrained, and then he said seriously: "Pin'er is the daughter of the Marquis's mansion. It was an injustice for you to follow me. If I don't welcome you into the mansion with great fanfare, I won't be able to enter Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the future."

The Lin family was originally a marquisate family. Although it had fallen into decline, its status was still high, so Daiyu was a legitimate daughter of a marquisate.

With such a background, it is actually possible for her to become the principal wife of Prince Beijing's mansion. But now that the mansion has a mistress, Daiyu can only be a concubine if she enters the mansion. How can this not be injustice to Daiyu.

To be honest, if Daiyu had not fallen in love with him, it would have been impossible for someone with Lin Daiyu's sensitive self-esteem to become his concubine.

If it cannot be given in terms of status, then compensation must naturally be given in terms of ceremony.

Daiyu's heart was filled with sweetness when she heard this. What she cared about was not the glory, but the attention shown by the young man, which was the happiest thing for a girl.

But the young man suddenly mentioned his family background, which made Daiyu feel confused. A bitter look appeared on her delicate face. Under her two curved eyebrows, her crystal eyes were filled with mist. She choked and said, "Brother, don't mention this again in the future."

What a daughter of a marquis, now she is just an orphan who is helpless and helpless.

When Shui Rong took one look at Daiyu's speechless and choked face, he knew that this was another case of the girl's sentimentality.

Sometimes, Shui Rong was speechless about this. Girls love to fantasize and hide their thoughts rather than speak them out. They always want people to guess and think. If the guess is right, everyone is happy. If the guess is wrong, she will probably make a fuss.

There is a good line in a song, "Don't try to guess what a woman is thinking. No matter how hard you try, you'll never understand." But if you don't guess, she will be unhappy.

In the original novel, Baoyu quarreled with Daiyu many times, and it was all because Baoyu didn't have the heart to guess.

After a silent pause, Shui Rong raised his hand and wiped the corners of the girl's eyes, without saying a word. Under his delicate brows, his eyes were as warm as water, as if everything was self-evident.

Guess? This matter concerns the Lin family. No matter how he talks about it, it will arouse the sensitive mind of the girl. What the hell is he guessing?
Noticing the boy's gentle movements, Daiyu's heart relaxed. Her beautiful crystal eyes met the boy's tender gaze, which was like a ray of sunshine penetrating into her soul, making the girl's sad mood dissipate.

Although my father is gone, fortunately I still have a brother.

"Brother wants to show off to little sister, what about Sister Bao?"

Just when the atmosphere was becoming gentle, Daiyu suddenly asked, with a hint of intelligence in her beautiful eyes beneath her curved eyebrows.

Water soluble: "."

Why did they bring up Baochai for no reason? How obsessed is Daiyu with Baochai!

After a moment of silence, Shui Rong replied ambiguously: "Bao girl naturally wants to be glorious, too."

Baochai is steady and gentle, giving Shuirong a sense of gentleness and ease, while Daiyu is lively and smart, and being with her is like a young couple. The two have very different personalities, but he likes them both, and he cannot show favoritism over the other in public.

Daiyu blinked her eyes and said playfully, "Brother, this is very thoughtful. Sister Bao will be happy if she knows about this."

"Oh, Pin'er misses your sister Bao like this." Shui Rong asked with some surprise.

I thought this was another case of Daiyu being dissatisfied with Baochai, but I didn't expect that she was speaking up for Baochai.

Daiyu raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and rolled her eyes at the young man. She snorted, "Of course, Sister Bao is not like you, brother, who likes to bully others."

As she spoke, Daiyu's voice became softer and softer, and her snow-white face became rosy.

As the saying goes, like repels like. In the beginning, Daiyu and Baochai actually compared themselves with each other, but as time went by, the comparison faded a lot, and they were replaced by admiration.

Especially when she was ridiculed in the Jia family, it was Baochai who comforted her. After knowing about her and her brother, she was more understanding and comforted her.

Although Daiyu is prone to being a little temperamental, she is not someone who cannot tell right from wrong. How could she not know how good Baochai is to her? Naturally, she does not want her to suffer any grievances.

Shui Rong suddenly understood after hearing this.

In fact, in the original novel, the conflict between the two was quite obvious, but that was because of Baoyu and there was a conflict of interest. However, at this time, there was no conflict between Baochai and Daiyu. In fact, because of the relationship between Shui Rong, Baochai took special care of Daiyu, and the relationship between the two naturally improved, and they were like sisters.

After a pause, Shui Rong's eyes moved, and he suddenly said, "How about when we welcome Pin'er to the palace, we can take care of Bao'er's affairs at the same time. It will be a great celebration then."

The temptation of Daiyu and Chai marrying together is not something that ordinary people can resist. Baochai has always been docile, so there is no need to worry. The only variable lies in Daiyu. If she agrees, this matter is a sure thing.

Daiyu was ashamed and annoyed when she heard this: "Bah, dream on."

And they did it together. How could she not know what her brother was thinking? He just wanted her and Sister Bao to serve him together. Humph, it was wishful thinking.

"Ah"

Shui Rong chuckled, but couldn't help complaining in his heart, don't think Daiyu is arrogant at this moment, after giving her a good beating, let's see if she will be honest.

Thinking of this, Shui Rong smiled and said, "Sister, you are done washing, let me wipe your body for you!"
