Chapter 800: Nobility and Lowliness Are Not Determined by Fate

~11 min read 2,109 words

Lady Rongguo Mansion, Jia Baoyu's Courtyard.

Jia Baoyu heard Sister Xi Ren's words, and his heart brightened. The warm current surged in his frustrated mood, and he immediately felt comfortable.

He rubbed his palms excitedly and muttered to himself: "There is actually such a good thing. Why did the Aunt hesitate? She is a bit foolish.

Since the Old Lady is kind and pitying, my offspring should be raised in the West Prefecture, so I can walk around and visit them daily, and not waste my filial piety to the Old Lady.

I can also be close to the sisters in the house daily. What a good thing this is! Why bother taking Seeing Cai Xia back to the East Road Courtyard to hide it?"

Bao Yu's intoxicated words were spoken without intention, but Xi Ren heard them with intention; her heart jumped suddenly, and a strange feeling arose...

The Bao Er Ye is usually foolish, but he actually said a clear word this time.

The Aunt has never been reconciled to the fact that Third Young Master Cong obtained the Lady Rongguo family business. She has always been a person who doesn't give up.

She has indulged the Bao Er Ye to stay in the West Prefecture and never mentioned moving back to the East Road Courtyard, just to let the Second Branch keep its roots in the West Prefecture.

Now that the Bao Er Ye has to move back to the East Road Courtyard after getting married, the Aunt should be extremely uncomfortable in her heart.

If Seeing Cai Xia is allowed to raise the child in the West Prefecture, the Old Lady will likely dote on this child because of the Bao Er Ye.

This would add a tie between the Second Branch and the West Prefecture, which would be the best thing for the Aunt.

Why is the Aunt unwilling instead, and wants to take Seeing Cai Xia back to the East Courtyard to raise the fetus? This really doesn't look like the Aunt's temperament...

Sister Xi Ren was hooked by Jia Baoyu's words. She was also a person in Jia Baoyu's room. Obviously, Jia Baoyu and she were in the same room, but it was still the same old look.

She even privately asked Seeing Caiyun, who also said that the Bao Er Ye was the same shape, but Seeing Cai Xia had this blessing and was pregnant after being slept with by the Bao Er Ye a few times.

To say that Sister Xi Ren had no doubts in her heart, even she herself couldn't deceive. Her thoughts were surging, but she had no clue to grasp...

Jia Baoyu was hooked by Sister Xi Ren, and in his infinite frustration and helplessness, he saw a hint of a pleasant hope.

Originally, he disliked Seeing Cai Xia's pregnancy, which made him lose the handsome and elegant demeanor of a young master in front of pretty girls, and become a stupid thing who got married and had children.

For these days, he had been quite cold to Seeing Cai Xia, and he had not looked at Seeing Cai Xia's room for a long time.

Now that he was at the end of his rope and about to get married, he had to move out of the West Prefecture, which was full of glory.

Wanting to retain the original rich and elegant dignity, as well as the hard-to-extinguish covetousness for lust, he always had to find some support.

So the pregnancy that originally made him embarrassed also became a bit of a rare commodity.

Jia Baoyu felt expectation in his heart. Originally, he was depressed, but suddenly he turned from cloudy to sunny, and his big round face was full of spring breeze.

He said: "I'll go see how Seeing Cai Xia is, and I don't know if raising the fetus is appropriate."

Sister Xi Ren saw Jia Baoyu rushing out of the door, and felt an indescribable strangeness and awkwardness in her heart...

Jia Baoyu's Courtyard, Seeing Cai Xia's Room.

Seeing Cai Xia was sitting by the bed, carefully sewing a long robe. Compared to when she first entered Jia Baoyu's courtyard, her complexion and figure had added a bit of richness.

Compared to when she was a maid, her skin was getting whiter and whiter, and her blood was getting redder and redder, fading away the original greenness and adding a bit of young woman's charm.

Just as she was concentrating on her needlework, the door was pushed open, and Jia Baoyu laughed: "Sister Seeing Cai Xia, what are you busy with?"

Seeing Cai Xia heard Jia Baoyu's voice, and her heart panicked. She said "Ouch" and pricked her finger with the needle, seeping out a drop of blood.

She reached out to suck it in her mouth, but her heart was filled with a bit of panic.

She had just become pregnant, and the Bao Er Ye Bao had been fresh for a few days, often coming to ask about her, which made Seeing Cai Xia feel very moved, and even felt a bit of guilt and regret.

But the good times didn't last long. After only a few days, the Bao Er Ye Bao suddenly cooled his face, ignored her, and never came to her room to see her again.

It was as if the original tenderness and consideration were just a fantasy dream that Seeing Cai Xia had imagined.

Plus, after Seeing Cai Xia became pregnant, the room affairs with Jia Baoyu were cut off, and the two became more and more distant.

Not long after, Seeing Cai Xia cooled her heart, and for whether Jia Baoyu cared about her or not, she quickly became indifferent, just quietly and carefully raising the fetus.

After all, the fetus in her belly was the most important thing to her. She wanted to gain a foothold in the Jia family, and what she could rely on was this child, not some Bao Er Ye Bao...

Because she had been cold for such a while, she was very surprised by Jia Baoyu's sudden entry into the room, and the surprise and suspicion on her face were hard to go away for a while.

Jia Baoyu saw Seeing Cai Xia sewing a long robe, using high-quality rain-sky blue dark-pattern soft silk, which looked quite pleasing to the eye.

He laughed: "Sister is truly a considerate person. You haven't seen you out of the room for these days. It turns out you are making a robe for me for the New Year.

Although I rarely wear this kind of elegant color, I like everything you make."

Seeing Cai Xia's expression was a bit awkward, and she said: "It's all because I was too careless and forgot that the Bao Er Ye likes rich and pretty colors.

I just think this material is pleasing to the eye. I heard that the Bao Er Ye is going to school after the New Year, and I am worried that the Bao Er Ye will not be happy in his heart.

Making a replacement robe that is suitable for the Bao Er Ye will add a bit of color to the Bao Er Ye, and the Bao Er Ye will also be more happy in his heart."

Jia Baoyu heard Seeing Cai Xia being so considerate, actually understanding his heart, knowing that he was going to study at the Imperial Academy after the New Year, which made him very unhappy.

She specially made a new robe for him to please him.

Jia Baoyu felt warm in his heart. Among the pretty girls in this world, not every one of them is cold. There is always someone who knows his goodness.

Just like Seeing Cai Xia's appearance, even if she is dragging a heavy body, she still doesn't forget to cherish him and make clothes for him without fear of hardship.

Jia Baoyu was moved inexplicably, sat beside Seeing Cai Xia, held Seeing Cai Xia's hand, and said a lot of sweet words, which made Seeing Cai Xia a bit caught off guard...

Lady Rongguo Mansion, East Road Courtyard, Zhao Zhao Yiniang's Courtyard.

In the side room, Seeing Tan Chun sat by the desk, holding a copy of the Analects, her pretty face serious, her slender jade hands holding a shiny ruler, quite imposing.

Jia Jia Huan sat on the side of the desk, on a stool padded with a thick soft cushion, stumbling and reciting the book.

After nearly a month of recuperation, the wounds from the caning on his body had mostly healed; although he could sit up, his body was still not agile enough.

Recently, Seeing Tan Chun had come to the East Road Courtyard every other day to urge and check Jia Jia Huan's reading progress, and she was very focused and attentive to this matter.

Every time she saw Jia Baoyu's arrogant and absurd words and deeds, Seeing Tan Chun felt a bit shocking.

This elder brother of hers by the same father always felt that he was outstanding and was a man among the teenagers of the world.

Yet he didn't know how ridiculous and unbearable his various words and deeds were in the eyes of others.

If Jia Baoyu hadn't been spoiled and indulged by his family, how could he have fallen into such a situation? Seeing Tan Chun was absolutely unwilling to let her brother fall into such a situation one day.

Moreover, Third Brother had given a quota for an honorary student, which was the best opportunity for her younger brother to study, and she would not allow her brother to slack off and miss it.

After Jia Jia Huan's injury improved slightly and he could barely get up and walk, Seeing Tan Chun put in twelve points of energy to strictly urge her brother to study.

Jia Jia Huan finished reciting half of the Analects. Although it was a bit stumbling, it was all recited, and only two mistakes were pointed out by Seeing Tan Chun.

He himself was relieved, but Seeing Tan Chun was not satisfied.

She reprimanded him, saying, "You have had this handwritten collection of commentaries for half a month, yet you have not studied diligently at all; even the introductory sentences you are reciting are read without any fluency or clarity."

Jia Jia Huan said with a bitter face: "Third Sister, how can I be as smart as you? I really put my heart into reading for these ten days. I haven't worked so hard in the school."

Seeing Tan Chun ignored his defense and said: "Give you another half a month. You must recite the whole book before the end of the year. If you dare to be lazy, you'd better be careful!"

Jia Jia Huan was full of bitterness, but seeing Seeing Tan Chun's pretty face was cold and she was holding the ruler tightly, he didn't dare to talk back at all.

The ruler in his sister's hand was personally taught by his father. He had to be strictly disciplined, or he would have no good fruit to eat...

Seeing Tan Chun said: "I ask you, what is the explanation for 'The gentleman is harmonious but not the same, the petty person is the same but not harmonious'?

Don't tell me some superficial things. If you dare to fool me, you will have a hard time."

Jia Jia Huan shivered, frowned and thought for a long time, before saying something that didn't express the meaning.

Seeing Tan Chun's pretty face flushed, anger appeared in her eyes, and she scolded: "You have already read this sentence in the Analects in the school, and I copied the Third Brother's annotations on it.

You didn't put it into your heart at all. You only know how to memorize by rote and don't seek to understand. Even if you read for another ten years, don't think about entering school. Stretch out your hand!"

Jia Jia Huan was scared pale and said: "Third Sister, I am your own brother. You don't have to be so fierce. Won't it be fine if I go back and study again?"

Seeing Tan Chun bit her cherry lips and said: "If you don't obey, I will tell Father and let him peel your skin!"

Jia Jia Huan heard this and felt a piercing pain in his buttocks, subconsciously stretching out his right hand.

Seeing Tan Chun glared, saying: "Stretch out your left hand. Don't think about fooling me. You want to take a few hits from the ruler so you can have an excuse to be lazy in your studies!" ===== CHAPTER 801 =====
