Chapter 721

He could not be bothered to speak.

In the past, he had Lady Wang to dote on him.

Tanchun would not have dared to argue with him, but now, things were different.

Although she still did not dare.

After all, there was still Jia Mu, who loved him dearly.

But ignoring him was still an option.

Jia Baoyu's current situation was that he was essentially socially dead within the Jia family.

Except for Jia Mu.

No one truly loved or cared for him anymore.

Jia Baoyu felt bitter and angry.

Originally, if Shi Xiangyun had not come.

His personality might have led him to apologize and say nice things.

But the appearance of Shi Xiangyun.

Made him lose his temper, and he became even less inclined to pay attention to Tanchun and the others.

Consequently.

He let out a cold snort.

Acting like a spoiled child, he only chatted with Shi Xiangyun.

Shi Xiangyun's beautiful eyes widened as she looked at the bickering siblings, "Second Brother, what is going on with you two? If you have something to say, say it nicely."

Lively, forthright, and outspoken, she spoke her mind without reservation.

She was not the most beautiful woman in *Dream of the Red Chamber*, but she was a healthy beauty.

Among the daughters of the Red Chamber, many were born beautiful, but few were full of vitality; more than half were sickly.

Lin Daiyu had been taking medicine since she learned to eat.

Wang Xifeng appeared strong on the surface, but even her closest maid, Ping'er, knew she was just holding on; Xue Baochai, who looked plump and beautiful, also suffered from a heat toxin from birth, and ordinary medicine was ineffective.

Yet Xiangyun was physically fit and healthy, eating raw meat and roasted venison as if it were nothing.

When drunk, she could sleep outdoors on a rock with a peony flower as a pillow, dreaming soundly without ever catching a cold; her physical constitution was naturally top-notch.

Moreover, being healthy did not mean Xiangyun was a rough girl.

On the contrary, she was the smallest and most graceful among them.

She had a pair of eyes and fair skin, with arms as white as snow.

Looking at her sleeping posture, her black hair resting by the pillow, her white arms draped over the edge of the bed, her dream state was uninhibited, and her deep sleep was charming.

Her figure was "wasp-waisted, ape-backed, with the grace of a crane and the form of a mantis."

This meant she was tall and slender, with long legs!

However, in this era, this was not quite to the taste of the locals.

But in modern times, this figure would undoubtedly be what countless women pursue, a super beauty in the eyes of many men!

Naturally, it also fit Jia Hui's aesthetic.

Therefore, Shi Xiangyun was very beautiful, just with a rare androgynous beauty.

Lin Meimei said she looked like a "little tomboy," meaning a boyish girl.

Within her charm, there was a touch of a dashing, masculine spirit.

Today, she was dressed in men's clothing.

Her attire was unique.

She wore a lined gown, a bright red Zhaojun hood on her head, and a fur collar made of large sable.

Lin Daiyu teased her, "Look, Sun Wukong has arrived. She is wearing the same snow-cloak, deliberately dressing up like a little tomboy."

Li Wan, Tanchun, and the others also laughed, "She just loves dressing up like a boy; it actually looks even prettier than when she dresses as a girl."

Xiangyun, being teased, did not mind.

At this moment, she asked about the situation with Jia Baoyu and the others.

"It was clearly the fault of that woman and the eldest sister, yet they blame me."

Jia Baoyu then angrily recounted the matter.

Naturally, from his perspective.

Tanchun, Lin Daiyu, and the others frowned upon hearing this.

Li Wan then spoke a fair word.

Xiangyun possessed a traditional sense of chivalry and a warm, kind heart, so she was very concerned about the situation with Baoyu and the others just now.

But at the same time.

Xiangyun was a fiery person who loved to champion the underdog.

After hearing both sides of the story.

Xiangyun chose without hesitation to stand on the side of Lady Wang and Jia Yuan Chun: "Second Brother, this time it is clearly that Lady Wang acted out of good intentions, and the eldest sister did it for your own good. How can you be so heartless and say such hurtful things? If it were me in their place, I would surely be heartbroken to death!"

"Even you, Sister Yun, think I am wrong!"

Jia Baoyu, with his stubborn personality, turned pale upon hearing Xiangyun's words!

His hands and feet went cold.

He felt extremely aggrieved.

The relationship between the two was excellent.

Xiangyun and Baoyu had been close since long ago, though it was the bond between siblings.

Xiangyun had been accustomed to hanging around the Jia Fu even earlier than Lin Daiyu, and she had truly grown up with Baoyu.

In reality, Lin Daiyu, as a newcomer, undoubtedly shared the favor of Jia Mu that originally belonged to Xiangyun, as well as the childhood sweetheart bond with Baoyu.

Xiangyun had no romantic feelings for Baoyu.

The bond between Baoyu and Xiangyun was a form of familial affection.

Because Xiangyun had been lonely and bitter since childhood, Baoyu's gentleness allowed her to enjoy a sense of family happiness.

Her kindness toward Baoyu was reflected in the fact that when she first arrived, she gave Jia Baoyu a pair of shoes that she had personally made for him during this period.

That was genuine kindness.

Precisely because their relationship was good.

This familial affection.

Made Jia Baoyu feel even more that Xiangyun misunderstood him, and even betrayed him!

"So, you are also this kind of person."

Jia Baoyu, in his anger, threw the spiritual jade again.

"..."

Seeing this!

Except for maids like Qiuwen, who were Jia Baoyu's own.

Everyone else remained indifferent!

Lin Daiyu was cold.

Li Wan was calm.

Seeing this scene, Xiangyun was incredibly shocked.

She realized.

The emotional relationship between the women and the Second Brother had indeed developed a huge rift!

Otherwise, it would not have come to this!

"You evil creature, what kind of madness are you acting out again for no reason?"

At this moment, at the front of the main hall, Jia Zheng, who was incredibly anxious because of the newspapers, was instantly ignited with rage.

He shouted sternly!

"Today, I must beat you to death, you evil creature!!"

【498】 Baoyu seeks death, Jia Mu: Just leave him with a breath. ===== CHAPTER 722 =====
