The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 662

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

However, after sending her mother out of the study, Baochai turned back to the table and was about to re-roll out the "teaching plan" for revision, when she suddenly frowned unconsciously.

Just now it seemed that she didn't see the servant girl beside her mother, and she didn't even turn on a lamp—although the moonlight tonight was good enough to illuminate the way ahead, Baochai still instinctively sensed something was wrong.

Think about the subtle changes that have taken place in my mother these days.

Could it be that……

She put down the brush she had just picked up, hesitated for a while, and finally moved away from the left and right, and quietly left the courtyard door.

In fact, Xue Baochai has also noticed something strange recently, but subconsciously she really does not want to doubt her mother, so she has been turning a blind eye to the changes in Aunt Xue.

Now it has finally come to the point where she can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Although Aunt Xue was nowhere to be seen outside the courtyard gate at this time, Xue Baochai was in charge of all the internal affairs of the Xue family after all, and she knew the situation at home very well—Xia Jingui made several troubles trying to seize power but failed, so she had no choice but to Resist to wait for her to marry out before talking.

It's just that there was no suspicion before, but now that suspicion has arisen, Baochai quickly locked on the target.

Now I searched all the way to the place where the affair was, and saw that the lock was still on it, and I was relieved immediately.

But she was cautious after all, even though she was already laughing at herself in her heart for being whimsical, she still moved closer to check the door lock.

It didn't matter after seeing this, it was like a bolt from the blue exploded in her mind!
The door looks locked from a distance, but in fact it has another secret, and it will not hinder people from entering or exiting at all.

If you don't want to do ghostly things, why do you need to be so deliberate? !

Baochai already had a [-]% or [-]% conclusion in her heart, but still holding on to a glimmer of hope, she carefully stabilized the door knocker, and tremblingly stretched out her hand to push the courtyard door, but as expected, the door was locked behind it!
how come?
why? !

Baochai's mind was overwhelmed, and he couldn't believe that such a thing would happen, but everything in front of him actually proved his previous suspicion.

But why? !

When her father was alive, she and her mother were in love with each other, and the phoenix was flying. She originally thought that this relationship would last forever until death. Who would have thought...

But it doesn't make sense!

Mother is by no means such a flirtatious person!
However, in the scene in front of me, if the mother is not having an affair with someone, how can she explain it? !

She stood in front of the gate where heaven and man were fighting, and it took some time before she finally calmed down. She gritted her teeth and walked around the courtyard wall, but found that there was no other entrance and exit. After a moment of thought, she searched outside the gate A dark place to hide.

She didn't have the skills to climb over the wall, let alone the confidence to climb in without being discovered, so she could only sit and wait in front of the door—even if there was another entrance to the outside in the yard, her mother would always enter and exit through this door.

This wait is more than an hour.

Seeing that it was approaching midnight, the courtyard door finally opened from the inside, and then Aunt Xue stepped out the door blushing with her temples straightened, then turned around and whispered something to the person, and finally closed the courtyard door reluctantly. Re-lock the false door lock.

It seems that there are other entrances and exits inside.

Xue Baochai thought to herself, and at the same time, with extremely complicated emotions, she looked at her mother intently. Even though she was separated by a distance, she could still infer her expression and state of mind at this time from Aunt Xue's demeanor.

Among the wives and wives that Baochai met, Aunt Xue was undoubtedly the youngest in her mentality, and sometimes she even showed a naive and ignorant look.

But the mother in front of her is not only young at heart, but also full of energy from the inside out.

It's as if...

It was reinfused with youthful vitality!
This discovery made Baochai, who was dominated by emotions such as disbelief, anger and shame, start to reflect subconsciously.

The relationship between mother and father is absolutely true, but father has been dead for several years after all, and his elder brother has also married recently—although the Xia family is really annoying, but mother has relieved the burden from her shoulders, perhaps just now. Because of this, you will feel lonely and lonely, and then...

Although it is still difficult to forgive her mother's cheating and betrayal, the anger in Xue Baochai's heart has subconsciously dropped by half, replaced by sympathy for her mother and a deeper understanding of the four words 'loneliness and loneliness'.

With such a mood in mind, she did nothing in the end, just watched Aunt Xue lock the courtyard door from a distance, and then discreetly disappeared into the night.

After another half hour, Baochai came out from the dark place, looked at the locked courtyard door and sighed, and then prepared to go back the same way.

But one second before she took the step to leave, she suddenly thought of an important question that she had neglected: who was the person who had an affair with her mother!

Previously, she hadn't seriously considered this issue because of her emotional fluctuations. Now that she thinks about it carefully, it seems that there are not many suspects.

Since that person didn't come in and out from this door, it should be someone from outside Xue's residence, and if it is said that the outsider Yu's mother had the most contact with was undoubtedly from Rongning Second Residence.

Jia Amnesty is dead, and Jia Zheng and Jia Lian are trapped in the Rongguo Mansion. As for Jia Zhen, who knows that he has the Hualiu disease of Yangyi?

It wasn't long before Jia Rong came back from the south, and the changes in her mother should have started at the beginning of the year, and the timing didn't match.

According to Jia Qiang's rumors, after the death of Ling Guaner, he abandoned his previous playboy style and was inseparable with him every day, so it should not be him.

After excluding these few people, the most suspicious person should be...

Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding!
The reason why Xue Baochai suspected Zhong Jinghou was definitely not aimless. At the end of last year, in order to get Lin Daiyu out as soon as possible, Mrs. Wang once deliberately matched her and Wei Ruolan.

At that time, it was Aunt Xue who was in charge of running in the center, and Mrs. Wei, Mrs. Zhongjinghou—that is, Wei Ruolan's aunt.

So Aunt Xue used to frequent Zhongjinghou's Mansion every year and year after year.

That Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding was 35 years old at the time, and he was known for his appearance. Perhaps it was at that time that his mother and him...

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Shi Ding was suspicious, but she almost never doubted Jiao Shun who was so close at hand.

There are three reasons:

One reason is that Jiao is too young and not good-looking enough.

The second reason is that he once talked about marriage with him.

Sanlai's mother and Aunt Xu are sisters in the boudoir.

With these three points, Xue Baochai really couldn't think of a reason why his mother would have an affair with Jiao Shun.

"Girl, you are back!"

A cheer suddenly sounded in front of him, but it startled Xue Baochai who was deducing the identity of the adulterer, and then realized that he had returned to the residence unknowingly, and it was Yinger who was cheering in front of him.

"Girl, where have you been?! I just..."

"All right."

Xue Baochai raised her hand to stop her chattering questions, pretending to be nonchalant, and said: "Go and get the tub ready for me."

When Yinger took the order to prepare the washing utensils, she originally wanted to go back to the bedroom and continue to deliberate, but when she passed by the door of the study, she suddenly stopped.

After a little hesitation, Baochai pushed open the door and walked in, spread out the draft lesson plan written earlier, and solemnly added the items of exercise and nourishment to it.

No matter how good the future is, it needs a good body to support it. Besides, even a good wife and mother like my mother can't bear the long-term loneliness...

Whether it is for Baoyu or for myself, this matter must be done!

After putting down the brush, she began to worry about how to deal with the adultery.

Now that the time and place of their affair have been found out, it is actually not difficult to reveal the true identity of the adulterer.

but……

Do you really want to do this?
If one carelessly exposed this matter, how would the mother and daughter, and even everyone in the family, deal with themselves? !

With such contradictory thoughts, she was absent-minded even when taking a bath. If Yinger hadn't discovered it in time, she didn't know how long she would have to soak in the cold water.

With the superposition of internal fire and external cold, Xue Baochai fell ill the next day without accident.

When Aunt Xue got the news, she hurried over immediately. While testing the temperature of her forehead with her hand, she complained loudly, "You girl is the same. Yesterday I specifically told you not to stay up late, or you will still be sick if you don't want to!"

For a moment, Xue Baochai subconsciously wanted to avoid her hand, because this hand no longer belonged to a good wife and mother, but was already tainted with depravity.

But she immediately felt ashamed of it, especially after seeing her mother kept asking for her health, and repeatedly urging her to ask when the doctor would arrive.

The mother may have changed, but the mutual affection between mother and daughter has not changed, nor should it change!

At this moment, Xue Baochai finally made up his mind, and temporarily buried this matter in his heart - if his father under the nine springs wants to blame, then he and his mother will bear it together!
…………

at the same time.

Mrs. Wei, Mrs. Zhong Jinghou, who had been dyed for no reason, was admiring in Jiao's back house.

"This newly made tribute tea is really different. It is superior in terms of taste and color, especially this strong but not strong, beautiful but not vulgar fragrance is the most rare."

After she finished tasting the tea, she put the tray back on the kang table, and sighed: "Speaking of which, my family is also from a foreign relative, but unfortunately, I have already cut off contact with the palace, and I have nothing to do with the name of a foreign relative, but I don't know what it is like." gone."

In fact, Shi Xiangyun was not very familiar with this third aunt. Hearing what she said, he hurriedly said: "Auntie was joking, the black tea that Second Uncle brought back from Europa a while ago is the only one in our house in the whole capital. It is nothing compared to it." Does tribute tea have face?"

"That's also your second uncle, something from Bowling Marquis's residence."

Wei's lips curled up. The grievances between the two marquis' mansions have a long history. Even though the relationship between the brothers has eased because of Bao Linghou's accidental employment, it is still far from close.

Seeing this, Shi Xiangyun had no choice but to say again: "If my aunt likes this tribute tea, I will send a few catties to you later."

Only then did Wei's smile spread across his face, but he said in his mouth: "What you said, it seems that I came here for cheap - by the way, I heard that Miss Lin has lived in your house?"

Her temporary change of subject was smooth and smooth, and Shi Xiangyun really didn't have the slightest chance to withdraw the gift.

Shi Xiangyun didn't care about a few catties of tribute tea, anyway, Jiao Shun would probably be rewarded every time he went back to the palace. Hearing Wei's mention of Lin Daiyu, she immediately realized the purpose of the third aunt.

At the end of last year, Mrs. Wang wanted to promote the marriage of Lin Daiyu and Wei Ruolan, not to mention the uproar in the Rongguo Mansion, at least it was a well-known secret.

By the beginning of spring this year, this matter was short of three mediators and six hires, but because the Rongguo Mansion suffered a sudden disaster and the future was uncertain, the Wei family retreated at the door.

Although the matter in the Rongguo Mansion has not been completely resolved, the matter of Concubine Xiande's return to favor is a certainty.

Now Mrs. Wei took the initiative to come to the door to ask about Daiyu, probably because she wanted to continue her relationship again.

In this regard, Shi Xiangyun is happy to see the success.

After all, Wei Ruolan can be regarded as a hero for a while, and he has never heard of any eccentric habits. If Lin Daiyu can marry him, it will be considered a good marriage.

Of course, she will not do everything, the specific decision depends not only on Lin Daiyu's mind, but also on how the old lady and Mrs. Wang decide.

So he just smiled and said, "Sister Lin is indeed our guest, but I'm afraid I'm looking for the wrong place for what my aunt wants to ask."

"Then I have to dare to go to Rongguo Mansion?!"

Wei rolled his peach eyes upwards, and took advantage of the situation to look at Qingwen and Xiangling beside him.

Seeing this, Shi Xiangyun waved his hands, and the two hurriedly retreated together.

Wei Shi leaned forward again, almost pressed four liang of meat into the teacup, and then asked softly: "Actually, I came here this time mainly to ask you about it. It's Miss Lin's life that's in the way of the Lord." Son, but really?"

"what?!"

Shi Xiangyun stood up all of a sudden, and said in shock: "Where did you hear this rumor, Auntie?! Such vicious words hurt people and turn black and white. Could it be that you want to force sister Lin to death?!"

Wei Shi was also frightened by her reaction, shrank back, and then blamed: "What are you anxious about, I didn't say it - I also heard rumors that your second aunt [Mrs. 】I once asked someone to give her a horoscope, and concluded that her fate is against the Lord, and she needs to be guarded by noble people to avert danger."

"Why haven't I heard of this?!"

Shi Xiangyun said angrily: "No, I'll go to Rongguo Mansion and see what Second Aunt has to say!"

As he said that, he was about to send someone to hitch up the carriage.

"wait!"

Mrs. Wei hurriedly got up and grabbed her, and said with a stampede, "Why do you hear that the wind is the rain, and I didn't say that it must be true - if you are reckless and go to the Rongguo Mansion to confront you, you will be accused Sister-in-law denied it, and then asked about the source of the news, wouldn't it be me spreading rumors and causing trouble?!"

Shi Xiangyun was reluctant, and was pushed back to the Arhat bed by her. He took a drink from the teacup, put it back on the table, and said indisputably, "This must be a rumor! What is Sister Lin like?" People, I know best, besides, I don't believe in those pretending to be ghosts either!"

In order to prove her words, she added: "Let's say our master just practiced a floating technique in the palace yesterday. The trick still looks real!"

In order to appease her, Wei repeatedly said yes, but in his heart he didn't take it seriously, secretly thinking that there are noble people in your family, so naturally there is no need to worry, but Wei's family background is more than a little worse, how dare you gamble Is it true or false?
Unless it can be proved definitively, someone is spreading rumors about this matter.

However, although entrusted by her natal family to verify the authenticity, Wei Shi has already preconceived that this matter is probably true.

As for the reason...

"Although it's a rumor, it's not without reason. Miss Lin lost her mother since she was a child, and lost her father a few years ago. The Rongguo Mansion has recently..."

"Auntie be careful!"

Shi Xiangyun got up again, and said with a straight face: "I also lost my parents since I was young. According to what you said, I am not..."

"Oh, look at how stupid I am!"

Wei Shi hastily slapped his face lightly, and said a lot of words of apology, then got up to take his leave and leave.

After getting out of Jiao's house and sitting in the carriage, she spat a few times and secretly scolded Xiangyun for bullying others. If she hadn't been concerned about Jiao Changqing, she would have put on the airs of an elder and taught her a few words!
Hey~
Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to invite her to blow the pillow, and find a job for his master Hou, but it seems that he can only wait for the next time to find another opportunity.
