~12 min read 2,227 words

Rongguo Prefecture, Fengjie's courtyard.

When Sister Xi Ren saw that Wang Xifeng wanted to break the matter, she was so scared that her soul flew away, and she couldn't help but kneel on the ground with a thud.

The thought of wanting to hide the matter was shattered by Wang Xifeng's fierce words, and her mental defense collapsed all at once.

She begged: "Second Grandmother, this matter must not be spread out. If the old master knows about the matter, Bao Er Ye Bao will lose his life.

If word gets out, the marriage between the Bao Er Ye and the Xue family will definitely be broken. How will the Bao Er Ye behave in the future?

The Bao Er Ye is still young, acts absurdly, and doesn't know priorities. Second Grandmother, please spare him this time, otherwise he will be completely finished."

Sister Xi Ren kept kowtowing to Wang Xifeng as she spoke, and Lin Zhixiao's wife on the side was a bit moved.

It was just that she sighed in her heart; among the maids, although this Sister Xi Ren was considered outstanding, compared to Ping'er and Liu, she was much more confused.

Whether this earring belongs to Seeing Baochan, the Second Grandmother is actually not clear, she just deduced that it should be hers.

The Second Grandmother was just using words to bluff her, and she panicked and said everything……

……

Wang Xifeng saw that Sister Xi Ren was still loyal, but she still hardened her heart and said: "You don't see the coffin and don't shed tears; now you are willing to admit it."

Sister Xi Ren hurriedly said: "I admit it, I admit it. It's all the Xue family's maid who is lowly; she seduced Bao Er Ye Bao several times, and the Bao Er Ye is young and couldn't resist the temptation.

If Second Grandmother lets the Bao Er Ye go this time, I will definitely persuade him well, and the Bao Er Ye will never dare to do it again next time."

Wang Xifeng saw that Sister Xi Ren was bluffed by her and actually told the truth, and heard her say that she seduced Baoyu several times.

She was surprised in her heart: could it be that Baoyu and this cheap girl were not messing around for the first time, and had already had previous affairs? She just didn't know where they did it……

She originally thought that Lady Xue, who managed the imperial merchant business, was a very powerful character, but she didn't expect her to be a silver-like pewter spear head, and a complete fool inside.

Her own maid was wantonly trampled by Baoyu, and she didn't even notice it at all; not only did she marry her only daughter to Baoyu, but she also lost ten thousand strings of wealth, which was truly a big sucker.

Wang Xifeng originally wanted to get to the bottom of it, but now it was not the right time, so she could only suppress the fire of gossip in her heart.

……

Now that she had opened Sister Xi Ren's mouth and the side room matter was settled, even if Sister Xi Ren was pitiful, she would not easily let Baoyu go.

Not to mention how many means she had spent in the past half year, and she still couldn't drive this living treasure away.

Now that Jia Cong knows about Baoyu's matter, he is very disgusted with him, and let Ping'er pass the word clearly, which is to let Baoyu get out early.

Moreover, her aunt has never given up, wanting to borrow Baoyu to live in the West Prefecture for a long time to implicate the family business of the First Branch.

It would be better to drive Baoyu out of the Rongguo Prefecture early, so that her aunt can give up this idea; now that there is such a heaven-sent opportunity, Wang Xifeng must cut the Gordian knot quickly.

She said: "You have already told the truth and admitted to this matter, so I will give you some face and can not tell the old lady and the second old master about this matter.

But this matter cannot be passed over in a muddled way; otherwise, if everyone acts like this, and messes around with dirty and smelly women, what kind of family style is left?

Since this matter is not told to the second old master, then it must be told to the second lady, and a rule must be set. Mother Lin, you go and invite the second lady to come and talk."

When Sister Xi Ren heard this, she felt a chill in her heart; the Second Grandmother didn't tell the second old master, so the Bao Er Ye escaped a disaster and temporarily saved his life.

But if the Lady knows about this matter, I'm afraid she will be angry; I am a person in the Bao Er Ye's room, and I'm afraid I will also be blamed……

……

Rongguo Prefecture, Rongqing Hall.

The banquet in the hall was full of laughter, and the several noble ladies who came to visit were all experienced and shrewd hostesses, and their entertainment was skillful and enthusiastic.

When the women gathered together, the topic would always turn to descendants and children.

The several ladies who brought their daughters to visit would always praise their daughters a few words intentionally or unintentionally, nothing more than being virtuous and quiet in the boudoir.

The ladies who didn't bring their daughters to visit would definitely turn the topic to Jia Cong, and they didn't spare any good words for Lady Jia, praising him as a flower-covered brocade, which made people feel disgusted.

These were the social tricks that noble ladies were familiar with, and each had their own purpose, whether it was Lady Jia or Lady Wang, they were all clear in their hearts.

Although Lady Wang was very unconvinced, she was also very clear in her heart that the conversational routines of these ladies were nothing more than wanting to implicate Jia Cong.

When this kid hadn't risen yet, the ladies of wealthy families who came to visit would always praise her Baoyu in their words.

Lady Wang looked at the two noble young ladies who were as beautiful as flowers, and felt a lot of envy and yearning in her heart, but her Baoyu was already engaged……

If Wang Xifeng were at the banquet, with her status as the mistress of the Rongguo Prefecture, she would definitely be the second focus of the banquet, and Lady Wang would only be a cold dish that no one asked about.

Fortunately, Wang Xifeng had something to do and left, and Lady Wang, as the only Lady of the Jia family at the banquet, got some etiquette and pleasantries from the noble ladies.

Lady Wang's cold and withered heart was like a great drought meeting clouds and rainbows, intoxicated by chatting with noble ladies, as if she had been raised in status all of a sudden.

Just when Lady Wang was full of comfort and ambition, as if she had become the mistress of the Rongguo Prefecture again.

……

At this time, Lin Zhixiao's wife suddenly came in and whispered a few words in Lady Wang's ear, which made her face change.

The satisfaction she had just had was instantly smashed to pieces; she stiffened her smiling face, apologized to Lady Jia and the female guests at the banquet, and only said that there were some household chores in the East Courtyard to be managed.

Lady Jia didn't care when she heard it, and the noble ladies at the banquet didn't care at all; a woman from a side branch of the Jia family was not qualified to sit at the same table with them.

If it weren't for the fact that Cong Ge'er hadn't married, his biological mother had died early, and his legal mother was a blockhead, how would it be her turn to show up……

Lady Wang walked out of the Rongqing Hall, her face extremely ugly, and asked in a low voice: "What is going on? How could such things happen?"

Lin Zhixiao's wife said indifferently: "Yesterday, someone picked up Bao Er Ye Bao's purse and a woman's earring in the side room of the grain storehouse.

The Second Grandmother thought it was a woman in the inner courtyard who was shameless and seduced the Bao Er Ye; because it involved the family style of the inner courtyard of the West Prefecture, the Second Grandmother naturally had to investigate clearly.

She asked me to interrogate all the maids and wives in the inner courtyard, but I didn't find anything suspicious; instead, someone recognized at a glance that the earring belonged to the Xue family's maid, Seeing Baochan.

This matter doesn't need to be said by anyone; everyone knows that Bao Er Ye Bao and the Xue family's maid did dirty things in the side room yesterday.

The Second Grandmother was naturally extremely angry about such a matter of corrupting family style, so she called Sister Xi Ren to ask; Sister Xi Ren originally wanted to cover up for Bao Er Ye Bao.

But when she faced such a shrewd person as the Second Grandmother, how could she get away with lying? Now she couldn't hold on and confessed.

The Second Grandmother intends to find the old lady and the second old master to discuss how to deal with this matter, but Sister Xi Ren knelt and begged to stop it, so the Second Grandmother called the Second Lady to discuss it."

……

When Lady Wang heard these words, she was so ashamed that she couldn't find a place to hide, and her whole body felt as if she had been burned by fire and struck by lightning.

Just now at the banquet, she was greeted by several noble ladies, and the dignity and satisfaction she had just had instantly disappeared without a trace.

Although she blamed her son for acting absurdly, she hated that cheap girl even more; she had harmed her Baoyu again and again.

Last time in the study of the East Road Courtyard, Seeing Baochan seduced Baoyu and messed around with her, and the result was caught by the old master, causing Baoyu to be almost beaten to death by his father.

This time she seduced Baoyu to mess around in the side room in broad daylight; she is truly a shameless and lowly embryo.

Baoyu was a good young master of a great family, and he was ruined by this lowly woman……

This Sister Xi Ren is also useless; it was a waste of her valuing her so much. She is so cowardly; she was scared by Feng Yatou for a few words, why did she confess honestly?

If she were truly loyal to her master, she should have bumped her head and died rather than confess. Now that she has left a handle for others, she is a dead girl who fails to achieve anything.

……

Fortunately, Sister Xi Ren still has a bit of conscience and knows that this matter is too serious to let the old lady and the old master know.

If this matter is known by the old master, he will definitely beat Baoyu half to death.

By then, if the matter gets big and the Xue family hears the news, Baoyu's marriage will be ruined, and the reputation of the Jia family's Second Branch will be terrible.

There is an even more fatal point: if the old lady knows about this matter and outsiders gossip, even if the old lady dotes on Baoyu again, I'm afraid she will dislike him……

If Baoyu loses the old lady's doting, the Second Branch will lose half of its foundation, and no one will pay attention to him in the Jia family in the future. What day will there be for him to turn over?

When Lady Wang thought of these, a huge panic emerged in her heart; Wang Xifeng held this handle and called her to discuss it, which clearly meant she had ill intentions.

……

Lady Wang entered Fengjie's courtyard with a restless mind; just as she lifted the curtain and entered the inner room, she saw Sister Xi Ren kneeling there, while Wang Xifeng was drinking tea in a leisurely manner.

She frowned and said: "Feng Yatou, why did such a thing happen suddenly? Baoyu has always been well-behaved and would never be so absurd.

Sister Xi Ren, with me here, you don't need to panic; it's better to make things clear, so as not to be panicked and say confused words."

Wang Xifeng covered the teacup and sneered: "Second Lady, you'd better not say such things. Baoyu's purse was picked up in the side room, and Seeing Baochan's earring was also picked up.

These are things nailed to the board; I am not the only one who saw them. I have made a big fuss for half a day and interrogated many maids and wives in the inner courtyard.

Even if I don't call Sister Xi Ren to ask, this matter absolutely cannot be covered up.

A man and a woman hiding in a side room where no one goes, what kind of good business can they do? It's dirty to even say it out loud."
