The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion-Chapter 358 - Tru it One More Time
Upon discovering that Xue Pan was carrying a sword and rushing out from behind the door, Sun Shaozong immediately stepped on the emergency brake, stopping inside and outside the door. He turned around and scolded, "Big Head Xue, are you crazy?! What are you rushing in at this moment?”
Xue Pan took two more steps forward and finally managed to hold back his figure. He said inexplicably, "Didn't we just agree that once we started the action, we should fight together and bleed to death?”
He was really...
Sun Shaozong almost spat out a bucket of old blood. When he was just on the road, he had indeed made such a plan, but now everyone has been saved. What was the point of rushing in and trying hard again?!
Xue Baochai on her back hurriedly said, "Brother, don't act recklessly. Just leave here with mother and sister-in-law.”
Aunt Xue also urged Sun Shaozong with a stack of voices under his arm.
The foolish overlord reluctantly dragged the sword back and muttered, "We really go easy on the 2 beasts!”
Seeing that the elephant was shot with an arrow, they seemed a little timid and didn't chase people around again. Sun Shaozong was too lazy to pay attention to this guy. He strode out of the courtyard first and carefully put Aunt Xue and Wang on the ground.
Baochai also took the opportunity to slip off his back and humbly thanked him, saying, "Thank you very much for your help.”
After saying that, she held onto Aunt Xue's arm and didn’t dare to look at Sun Shaozong again.
Aunt Xue also said thank you without any hesitation. But Wang slowed down and saw Liu Xianglian holding a longbow. She immediately forgot about everything. Her eyes lit up and she said, "You have a good archer skill. I have never seen it before. Ouch!"
Xue Pan rushed over and kicked her in the buttocks, cursing and scolding, "What is the situation now and you are still being coquettish, so why don't you quickly bring my mother and sister to our courtyard to suppress the shock?”
But how was Wang willing to stop?
Staring into his eyes, she was about to scold Xue Pan. But she suddenly saw the sword in Xue Pan's hand, and she then hurriedly withdrew her stance. If he were really annoyed, he might dare to wield a round sword and fight with it.
At this moment, several nannies and servant girls also happened to approach, and Wang quickly took the opportunity to blend in and lead her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to other courtyards.
At this moment, many talented people gathered proudly and surrounded Sun Shaozong to inquire about what happened.
Sun Shaozong was waiting to thank Liu Xianglian for his arrow, but Feng Ziying sneered with a wry expression, "Second Brother is indeed a lucky general! We have long heard that Xue Big Head’s Sister is talented and beautiful, but we have never had the chance to meet her. Today, Second Brother not only saw her but also... Hahaha..."
Liu Xianglian also smiled on the side and said, "In my opinion, today is really a joyful day. It's hard to say that there will be even more joy in the future.”
Sun Shaozong quickly waved his hand and said, "It's just a matter of urgency. It seems like I have ulterior motives when you say this.”
Xue Pan glared at Liu Xianglian in embarrassment and couldn't help but say, "What kind of happy event is this? Why don't I take these two elephants to your house tomorrow for your birthday and make your family happy.”
Everyone burst into laughter without realizing it, but Jia Baoyu's smile was mixed with a hint of loss and entanglement.
First, he was fated with Sister Xiangyun's "Qilin," and now he had a skin-to-skin relationship with Sister Bao. However, Jia Baoyu also knew that if he and Sister Lin really became husband and wife, he would never be entangled with these sisters again.
But looking at the women who had childhood ties with him and were getting involved with Sun Shaozong one by one, he felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart.
“Brothers.”
When everyone laughed, Feng Ziying suddenly suggested, "Why don't we just have Big Head Xue put the birthday banquet at the entrance of this courtyard? And let the boys keep an eye on it. If those two elephants dare to rush out and cause trouble, we'll chop them randomly, so we can taste what this elephant is like.”
“Okay, okay.”
Xue Pan, the stunned overlord, clapped his head and said, "That's exactly how we show our men's courage.”
Liu Xianglian also nodded his head a little bit, and he also sang a few Qin Opera words funnily. With the impassioned tunes, who still dared to shrink back?
So they all gritted their teeth and pretended to be straightforward.
Xue Pan instructed the servants and set up a banquet outside the east courtyard.
Sun Shaozong specially ordered a bonfire to be prepared, stating that he was preparing to roast elephants to eat, but in reality, he was preparing to repel the elephants when they were attacked.
Not to mention how men drink and sing in front of the ruins.
Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai left the eastern courtyard, but instead of following Wang back to the main courtyard, they arrived in the west wing of Baochai.
After drinking three teas in a row, Aunt Xue calmed down a little and praised Sun Shaozong to Baochai, saying that if he were not here today, there would be three women whose lives would have ended in the east yard.
Upon hearing her mother's mention, Xue Baochai immediately recalled the situation at that time and couldn't help but blush on her face.
Now it was midsummer, and both of them were wearing thin clothes. When she laid on his back, she felt the muscular lines clearly, and vice versa. He probably couldn't escape her plump body either.
Especially with the ups and downs along the way, which only caused a faint pain in her chest, Second Brother Sun must have been even more...
Thinking about being in a hurry, she wrapped her legs tightly around Second Brother Sun's waist, she was afraid that it might be even…
“Good daughter…”
Aunt Xue boasted a few times, and when she saw her daughter's pretty face turning red, her heart suddenly thought, "If we can't count on Baoyu, this Adult Sun is a good match."
“Mother...”
Upon hearing this, Baochai felt even more ashamed, so she didn't even use the word ”mother” anymore. She stood up and stomped her feet and said, “A few days ago, you said he was a libertine and a demon king in the world. How could you say this now?”
“Hmm…”
Aunt Xue hesitated and said, "I saw later that he didn't look like such a maniac. Maybe... Maybe there was some misunderstanding…"
“Since it was your personal experience, what kind of misunderstanding can there be?”
“Hmm…”
It was hard for Aunt Xue to say that she later dressed up to try out Sun Shaozong's true nature, right?
Furthermore, it was still difficult for her to determine which of Sun Shaozong's two completely different faces was his true nature.
Maybe she should find another chance to give him a try?
Xue Baochai had been waiting to stop her mother's mouth with the elephant incident. Now, seeing her mother hesitating and speechless, she breathed a long sigh of relief in her heart.
If it were to say that Sun Shaozong had saved her life today, Xue Baochai's heart wouldn’t pound at all. She was lying with her eyes open. However, these palpitations were still a long way from the point where she wanted to ”commit it herself.”
After all, she was not someone who was easily emotional.
Besides, although Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu have been dating each other all day, it was just a personal affair. How could it compare to the matchmaking words ordered by their parents? How could it be said that there was no hope?
