I'm in the Red Mansion

Chapter 52 Who knew that the young master had no chance
Musk Moon and Xiren have the best relationship, but today Musk Moon discovered a side of Xiren that is usually unknown to others.

Musk Moon guessed that it was most likely Xiren who went to report the evil deeds of Master Cong.

However, when Baoyu asked, Xiren was the first to stand up and object, and Baoyu actually believed what she said.

This kind of Xiren made Sheyue feel unfamiliar. Sheyue was completely different from the Xiren she knew.

At this moment, wasn't Xiren feeling miserable?
The reason why she was willing to be a villain and report the evil deeds of Master Cong.

Half of it was to help Baoyu eliminate potential threats, and half of it was to leave a good impression in front of Mrs. Wang.

Unexpectedly, things went wrong and the wife ended up losing her position as housekeeper.

Although this matter cannot be blamed on her.

But after all, it was caused by the matter she sued.

The wife might not hate her!

Now she couldn't afford to cause Baoyu's dissatisfaction because of this matter. Therefore, when Baoyu asked about it, she stood up and expressed her position at the first moment, in an attempt to dispel Baoyu's doubts.

The lady was given the power to manage the household, and Baoyu began to doubt them, which made Xiren deeply uneasy.

Fortunately, after the sisters proved their innocence, Baoyu's suspicion seemed to be dispelled.

Jia Baoyu really did not suspect the maid in his room.

In his eyes, all the maids in his room were of the same mind as him.

I can accompany him till the end of time, until he dies and his body turns to ashes, and even the ashes are blown away by the wind, leaving us ignorant and unconscious, and our fate will be over.

Therefore, how could his maid lie to him?
However, this not only failed to relieve Jia Baoyu's inner depression, but instead deepened it.

It was obvious that he did not tell on anyone, and neither did the maid in his room.

I don’t know where the lady found out about this, but Lin Daiyu was certain that he must have leaked it.

Even Bao-chai felt that he was careless and said that he gave it to his maid, who then leaked it out accidentally.

The more Jia Baoyu thought about it, the angrier he became. He was too lazy to move all day and stayed in his room, unwilling to go out.

In the middle, Lady Jia didn't see him and called him over.

Jia Baoyu went to deal with it for a while and then ran back.

Even after dinner, Jia Baoyu still felt unhappy.

He could not help but get up, go out from the north gate, and go look for Jia Cong.

For a moment, Jia Baoyu didn't know why he went to find Jia Cong.

It was obvious that Cong Lao San was the victim, and Cong Lao San never said that he was the one who reported him for the crime.

But Jia Baoyu couldn't help but want to go to Jia Cong to seek justice.

Perhaps, he was thinking of asking Cong Lao San to help him sort things out in front of Lin Daiyu.

Soon, he arrived at Jia Cong's yard.

Soon, Jia Cong came out and welcomed Jia Baoyu into the house.

At this moment, Jia Cong was also wondering.

He really didn't expect that Jia Baoyu would come to see him.

This was really a rare thing, as Jia Baoyu had never been to his yard before.

After letting Jia Baoyu sit down, Jia Cong couldn't help but say, "Brother Bao, please sit down and talk. Hongxiu, serve the tea."

"Yes, Third Master."

After Jia Baoyu sat down, he said gloomily, "Third Brother Cong, I heard about what happened yesterday. It was not me who told Madam about your portrait being painted outside..." Before Jia Baoyu could finish, Jia Cong said, "I believe in Brother Bao's character. Brother Bao has the character of a girl, pure and noble. How could he do such a dirty thing?"

The general character of a girl is actually pointing at a man and saying that he is effeminate and not like a man.

If you dare to say this to anyone else, he will probably come and fight you to the death.

But only Jia Baoyu, when he heard Jia Cong say that he had a girlish character, pure and noble, felt that these words touched his heart.

For a moment, he was almost moved to tears again.

He couldn't help but say, "Third Brother Cong, you are truly my best friend in life!"

Jia Cong smiled slightly, and his thoughts suddenly changed.

He had already learned from Jia Huan that it was the maid Xiren who had reported him to Lady Wang.

Jia Cong still has quite complicated feelings towards Xiren.

Xiren, no matter who she serves, is wholeheartedly and devotedly devoted to the service.

But in the end, she left Jia Baoyu and married the actor Jiang Yuhan.

That would be fine. Jia Baoyu himself is a playboy, and he cannot force Xiren to be faithful to him until death.

But Xiren did have a history of reporting others' misdeeds, and she had reported others' misdeeds to Lady Wang many times.

Later, Jia Baoyu began to suspect that his wife actually knew everything that the maidservants in his room said in private.

But the Madam didn't find any fault with her and Musk Moon. Doesn't this mean that they are the most suspicious?
Originally, Jia Cong was too lazy to care about these things. Everyone has his own way of living.

No matter how treacherous Xiren was, she would not do anything to him and would just live her own life behind closed doors.

But this time, Xiren actually reported him to Mrs. Wang, and Jia Cong could not tolerate it.

If she were to give such a scheming person another chance, she was afraid that he would bite her back secretly.

It just so happened that Jia Baoyu came today, which gave Jia Cong an idea.

Jia Cong could not help chanting, "It is in vain that I am gentle and docile, like a laurel or orchid. I envy the actors and actresses for their good fortune, but who knew that you have no chance."

Upon hearing this poem, Jia Baoyu was shocked and extremely horrified.

He couldn't help asking, "You, you, how do you know this poem? Where did you hear it from?"

This poem was written by Jia Baoyu when he was a guest in the East Palace and he dreamt about the fairy Jinghuan.

Fairy Jinghuan then showed her the verdicts of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling, and the poem chanted by Jia Cong happened to be Xiren's verdict.

Xiren is the first in the second volume of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling.

This very real dream was actually the secret hidden in Jia Baoyu's heart.

Now that there are outsiders who know the verdict he saw in his dream, how can he not be shocked?

Jia Cong shook his head and said, "The origin of this poem is very strange. Brother Bao may not believe it if I tell him."

"I actually got this poem in my dream. It has no beginning or end, and I only heard these four lines. I don't understand what this poem means."

"This poem is obviously not well written, but I just can't forget it. I couldn't help but recite it aloud just now. I'm sorry to make Brother Bao laugh."

Jia Baoyu couldn't help but say, "Brother Cong, what a coincidence! I have also had such a dream and seen this poem before."

"Third Brother Cong, think about it carefully. This poem is clearly about people. Maybe it's the sisters in our house. Third Brother Cong, can't you think of who it's about?"

Hearing Jia Baoyu's words, Jia Cong couldn't help but shake his head and said, "There are too few clues. I am completely confused and can't figure it out."

"By the way, I wonder if there are any other clues in Brother Bao's dream besides this poem?"
