The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion-Chapter 364 - The Third Lady You Complaint her Grievances
Although he didn’t know why the relatives of Ningguo Prefecture came to the government office to see him, since the person had already arrived, he still needed to attend.
Therefore, Sun Shaozong instructed the official to lead the person to the Criminal Department.
Not long after, a young man dressed as a scholar followed in and arched his hand at Sun Shaozong, saying, "Greetings to Lord Sun.”
However, when Sun Shaozong saw this person, he couldn't help but furrowed his brows, raise his hand, and wave back the door. He asked suspiciously, "Third Lady You, are you wandering around and happen to come here today?”
It turned out that the young man dressed up by this scholar was none other than Third Lady You, who happened to meet him on the street the other day!
Last time, it could be said that it was a coincidence, but this time she came to visit him in men's clothing, but for what?
Was it because this little girl had fallen in love with him and wanted to play around?
Putong~
Just as he thought of this, he saw Third Lady You kneeling with tears in her eyes and saying, "Your Excellency! I am really at a loss at the moment, so I buckle up my courage and come to seek your help.”
What was this all about?
Sun Shaozong frowned and said, "Since you are a relative of the Ningguo Mansion, you should go to their mansion for help when you encounter difficulties. Why didn’t you ask for help from your relatives instead of me?”
“Lord Sun.”
Third Lady You lifted her head with tears in her eyes and said in a mournful voice, "When did Jia Zhen and his son ever treat me and my sister as serious relatives? Now they are forcing us day and night, only to play with us within their control.”
As she spoke, she kowtowed and wept, saying, "To be honest, I took the liberty of coming to you today to beg for your help and protect the innocent bodies of my sister and me from this father and son.”
The innocent bodies?
Sun Shaozong grinned silently, but then he said sternly, "So how do you know that I can definitely handle this matter?’
“You are known as the famous lord of justice, upright and well-known in the world.”
“Moreover, since you broke the ”Evil Yin” situation, Jia Zhen and his son have been secretly afraid of you. They often say that you have unpredictable abilities and couldn’t be provoked. So as long as you are willing to defend us, Jia Zhen and his son will definitely retreat.”
What she said was quite reasonable.
But…
She could only deceive those who were not familiar with her words, and that night in the Ningguo Mansion, Sun Shaozong not only had a great time with You-Shi but also heard a lot about the deeds of the Second Lady You and Third Sister You from her mouth.
The matter of the Second Lady You was okay; she was just a gentle and easy-going person. Despite being timid and hesitant to resist the scrutiny of Jia Zhen and Jia Rong's father and son, she was not willing to be humiliated.
But this Third Lady You was quite happy with it, often using some smoking and flirting tactics in front of Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, which made the father and son both appear as a joke.
Wasn't it a great joke for such a promiscuous woman to suddenly run up to him and beg for her innocent body to be preserved?
Therefore, after listening to her singing and reciting performance, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but sneer and say, "But as far as I know, you may not be as innocent as you said, Lady You.”
Upon hearing this, the Third Lady You secretly thought it was bad. As expected, Lord Sun had already heard some rumors. If she didn't know and directly asked someone to ask for a connection of marriage with that Young Master Liu, it was inevitable that a great marriage would fall into the hands of Lord Sun!
She felt a bit grateful to You-Shi now. But how could she know that these words were originally from You-Shi's mouth?
However, Third Lady You had come prepared after all. Although she had been exposed to the truth, she was not very nervous. She only tightened her face and said solemnly, "Since the Lord has spoken here, I dare not conceal anything. I did have some misconduct before, and I barely managed to protect my innocence.”
“But since the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, I happened to encounter someone and was determined to change my past conduct and never be implicated in that Jia Zhen father and son again.”
Coincidentally, she bumped into a person on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival?
Wasn’t that himself?
Although he knew that this woman was probably talking nonsense, hearing a peerless and enchanting voice say ”I fell in love with you at first sight” still made Sun Shaozong feel a bit complacent.
Unexpectedly, Third Lady You immediately said, "This person is your best friend. He is Young Master Liu Xianglian.”
Eh?!
Sun Shaozong widened his eyes and said, "Who are you talking about?”
“Liu Xianglian, Young Master Liu.”
“From the moment I saw Young Master Liu, I swore to marry him." Third Lady You murmured and her beautiful eyes blurred.
Damn~
Fortunately, he didn't speak his heart out just now; otherwise, he would have lost his face.
But then again, if it were for Liu Xianglian, the thing that she fell in love with at first sight would not seem abrupt. At least Sun Shaozong knew that several brothel women were captivated by Liu Xianglian, not only refusing to engage in prostitution but also willingly giving a lot of personal money.
He just didn't expect that the Third Lady You, who was always smoking and flirting, was also captivated by Liu Xianglian!
He didn’t know what it felt like in his heart and heard Third Lady You saying again, "No matter if I have the appearance of willow or not, I will defend my body for Young Master Liu. I heard that you and Young Master Liu are family friends, which is why I shamelessly came to beg you.”
"Lord Sun, for the sake of my infatuation with Young Master Liu, please save us!"
Before matching their eight characters, she decided to guard her virginity for Liu Xianglian first.
This was really...
Sun Shaozong was speechless, shook his head, and said, "I can't tell the truth from the false, let alone the truth. I'll tell Brother Liu about the reasons and consequences some other day, and let's see how he decides.”
“If he were willing to help you, naturally I wouldn't stand idly by.”
Upon hearing this, Third Lady You was overjoyed and quickly kowtowed her head to the ground. She immediately pulled a brocade handkerchief from her waist and lifted her hands over her head.
Sun Shaozong looked at the brocade handkerchief, densely covered with small letters of flies. He only thought it was a love letter written by the Third Lady You to Liu Xianglian, so he picked it up and casually said, "Don't worry, I will hand it over to Brother Liu together.”
Unexpectedly, Third Lady You shook her head and said, "Your Excellency, you have misunderstood. This item is not to be given to Young Master Liu by me but was entrusted by my Second Sister…”
“What?”
Sun Shaozong blurted out and exclaimed, "Did your Second Sister also take a liking to Liu Xianglian?”
Oh gosh~
Being a handsome man was indeed an advantage. The sisters were eager to snatch them!
Although the Second Lady You was three times less charming than the Third Lady You, she was also an extremely rare beauty, especially her obedient nature, which was convenient for enjoying the happiness of everyone!
“No, no, no.”
Upon seeing that Sun Shaozong has misunderstood, Third Lady You hurriedly explained, "Yesterday, she heard that I’m coming to seek help from you, so she said ”How can a lawsuit be filed without a written record?” So she personally wrote down the grievance on the brocade handkerchief and asked me to bring it to you for examination.”
After a pause, she said with a double tone, "Please take a closer look, Lord Sun. Don't let down my Second Sister's heart.”
