Chapter 348 Peeping
Tanchun drank too much at the banquet today. After settling down in Zilingzhou, she drank two cups of strong tea and some sour soup to sober up.

It was inevitable to think about the night when she woke up in the middle of the night. Seeing that the maid and the servant were sleeping soundly, she did not disturb them and went out of the room with an oil lamp.

But it was Tanchun's first time to come to Ziling Island, and it was dark at night, so she got lost for a while.

She suddenly heard a faint noise and thought it was the old woman on night watch, so she prepared to go up and ask for directions.

"Clap!"

Tanchun frowned her willow-shaped eyebrows, her little head full of confusion.

"What's that noise? What are you doing so late at night?"

As if possessed by some mysterious force, Tanchun followed the direction of the sound and subconsciously slowed down her steps.

She came from the porch, walked to the front of the house, and stopped under a dark red carved door.

"This seems to be the residence of my elder sister..."

Tanchun had already realized that this was inappropriate, so she turned around and prepared to leave.

But just at this moment, a soft, gentle and slightly crying voice came from between the door screen.

"Brother...!"

Tanchun's heart was shocked, and all kinds of thoughts came to her mind at once.

Second brother?
Is this the voice of the older sister?

Why does the eldest sister call the second brother?
Could it be that Second Brother Wei is in Big Sister’s room?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Tanchun's head suddenly exploded with a "buzz".

"How could Second Brother and Big Sister..."

But listening to the plaintive voice, Tanchun gradually understood what it meant.

"Big sister..."

Tanchun's face was full of disbelief. She respected Yuanchun, her elder sister, from the bottom of her heart.

Because Yuanchun was superior to her in both talent and appearance, and what was even better was that Yuanchun was the legitimate daughter born to Lady Wang, while she was a concubine's daughter.

Therefore, Yuanchun has always been the elder sister whom Tanchun has admired and respected since childhood, and she is also the role model and the woman she wants to become.

Yuanchun is a sacred and inviolable woman in Tanchun's heart. How could she do such a shameful thing?

It must be Baoqin, or some other unruly maid in the garden!

As Tanchun thought about this, her mind suddenly became extremely clear. Almost subconsciously, she gently opened the window and peeked into the house.

What caught Tanchun's eyes was a muscular and strong back.

Tanchun's pupils trembled. The clear moonlight poured in through the window. She could even see the sweat flowing down the muscle lines. And the round toes of the foot he held in his hand.

"Second brother?"

This figure gradually overlapped with the familiar figure in Tanchun's memory.

Then he saw that the red quilt under the tent was opened, and there was a person lying on the couch, and there was also a figure sitting on the edge of the kang. She was wearing a beautifully embroidered dress, and her face was rosy. It was Baoqin.

Tanchun was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze!

Not only is this scene visually striking, but there is also—the one sitting there holding the zither, and the one lying there is…

"Big sister..." Tanchun whispered silently.

She quickly stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, her beautiful eyes widened, she was shocked and even felt a little terrified...

Tanchun's impression of Jia Rui as upright and dignified, and Yuanchun as well-educated and well-mannered, all collapsed with a bang!

At the same time, the etiquette and secular concepts she had received for more than ten years also collapsed...

Second brother and eldest sister?
The second brother is already married, his second sister-in-law is still Baochai, and the eldest sister Yuanchun is still waiting to be married.

Besides, the second brother and the eldest sister are both from the Jia family. They are not even five generations apart yet, so they cannot intermarry...

Tanchun was numb for a moment. "Brother, brother."

Yuanchun's voice sounded again, a little hurried.

Tanchun's fair cheeks felt like they were on fire and her heart seemed to be about to jump out of her throat.

Tanchun listened but did not dare to say anything. She just wanted to leave this place, but her legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

She looked up again and saw that the foot jumped a few times, and instantly the calf and arch of the foot straightened, and the five toes twisted and tangled together, and then stretched out like a cat's paw...

After a while, Tanchun's face turned red, her mouth felt dry, and her slender hair under her skirt couldn't help but close together.

Suddenly Jia Wei turned around! Tanchun was startled, lowered the window, turned around and ran out.

Jia Wei was originally having so much fun that his attention was inevitably distracted.

After feeling the sense of being watched, he did not care much about it. After all, there were only women in the garden, and Zi Lingzhou was occupied by the young lady and maid of the West Mansion.

But the person looked for a long time and didn't leave, so Jia Wei stopped and wanted to see who she was.

Although it was just a quick glance, he was able to recognize the person outside the door.

"Tanchun?"

Jia Wei chuckled and didn't care.

"Brother Er, Brother Er? Brother Er..." Yuanchun called softly.

Jia Wei then looked at Baoqin who was sitting beside him.

"I'm tired, come and help."

At dawn the next day, Jia Wei flew out of the garden quietly.

He did not tell Yuanchun about Tanchun's peeping, because with Tanchun's character and intelligence, she would not and dared not tell this to anyone.

What he said would only add to Yuanchun's troubles, and she would probably not have the face to meet Tanchun again in the future.

But Yuanchun doesn't know now, but Tanchun knows it in her heart, so it is Tanchun who is embarrassed and guilty...

Jia Wei returned to the courtyard and asked the maid to help him take a bath.

Near noon, a maid came with a message that Mr. Lian was there to ask for a meeting, so Jia Wei walked towards the front hall.

Glancing at the figure sitting in the hall, Jia Wei asked the servants to leave and chuckled in his heart.

He thought Jia Lian was going to put on his hat and be a Ninja Turtle!

Jia Lian is also a weirdo. He knows that his wife is pregnant by him, but he has only been back for two days and Jia Lian is just looking for trouble with him...

"Oh my, what brings Brother Lian here today?"

When Jia Wei saw Jia Lian, he smiled from the bottom of his heart and quickly bowed to this fellow traveler.

When Jia Lian saw him smile, his face turned dark.

Having an affair with your sister-in-law is a serious crime.

If this gets out, it will ruin Jia Wei's reputation, and the consequences will be disastrous.

So Jia Lian thought he had something on Jia Wei and was just waiting for him to come and apologize so that he could extort some money from him.

He never thought that Jia Wei had been eating and drinking well for two days in a row, and instead of coming to ask for apology from him, he even didn't send anyone to pass on the message!
Jia Lian couldn't sit still any longer, thinking, "You did all this, and you still want to pretend nothing happened?" So he came to my house today.

But he didn't expect that Jia Wei had no guilt at all and even dared to laugh at him!
Jia Lian was furious and slammed the table, shouting, "Brother, how dare you!"

Jia Wei's smile faded. He didn't even say anything, but just glanced at Jia Lian indifferently.

Jia Lian immediately felt as if he was being stared at by a tiger, and even his breathing became tight! He collapsed on the chair, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

Jia Lian's face turned pale, and he quickly said in a bluffing tone: "What? You took your second sister-in-law Lian away, and now you want to beat me? Is there any law left...!"
