The Second Master of the Red Chamber

"Sister Lin..."

Zhen Yuhuan lowered her head, her face full of shame, and dared not look directly at Daiyu.

Daiyu glanced at her, then slowly turned her gaze to Jia Lian beside her.

Jia Lian knew that this was the most important moment, otherwise all his previous efforts would be in vain.

So before Daiyu's gaze sharpened, he sat up abruptly, pulled her into his arms, and said with a smile, "Sister Yuhuan is worried that you won't accept her, or that you might even get angry and ignore her."

I said it was impossible. Lin Daiyu was the kindest, most generous, and most tolerant person in the world.

Those rumors circulating outside are just malicious slanders born of jealousy from others.

She didn't believe me, so I made a bet with her, letting her stay there and witness it for herself.

As Jia Lian spoke, he said smugly to Zhen Yuhuan, "Well, as the saying goes, seeing is believing. Now you believe it, right?"

Zhen Yuhuan nodded repeatedly.

However, Daiyu was not so easily fooled.

Holding Jia Lian in her arms, she couldn't do anything else, so she could only sneer: "So that's why you were being so submissive today, waiting for me here."

"Does it make you happy to see me make a fool of myself?"

"How can it be a joke? They don't understand you, only I do. I'm just letting her know what a good person you really are."

"They don't understand me, and why would I ever want them to? What kind of person I am is none of their business."

Jia Lian opened his mouth, finding Daiyu's small mouth unusually difficult to deal with.

He had always used his prophetic abilities to completely charm Daiyu.

Almost everyone has forgotten that Daiyu is famous for her sharp tongue.

When someone is really angry, no one can appease them!

Seeing Daiyu's repeated questions leave Jia Lian speechless, Zhen Yuhuan became extremely anxious.

She had overheard most of their conversation from behind the screen.

From an outsider's perspective, she knew all too well how much effort Jia Lian had put in to get Daiyu to accept her.

Although Jia Lian's comment about loving someone because of them made her feel somewhat hurt.

But thinking that Jia Lian was doing this to get Daiyu to accept her, she accepted it.

Even though everything was clearly under her sworn brother's control, the intelligent Lin sister was still coaxed into smiling by him.

However, because of her appearance, her sworn brother's efforts were in vain.

Thinking back, if I hadn't been impulsive and willful back then, and if I hadn't been unable to resist coming to find my sworn brother today, this situation wouldn't have happened.

No matter what, she couldn't keep hiding behind her sworn brother and let him face Sister Lin's wrath.

So she knelt down in front of Daiyu with a thud, looked up at Daiyu and said, "Sister Lin, it's all my fault. You can hit me or scold me if you want, but please don't blame my sworn brother, okay?"

It's my fault, it's all my fault, I lied to you back then..."

Daiyu was angry because Jia Lian had lied to her again, not because he was targeting Zhen Yuhuan.

Moreover, she was an extremely kind-hearted person, and even when she was angry, she never hit or scolded the maids.

Not to mention the person in front of her who looks exactly like her and whom she calls her sister.

Therefore, she was so shocked that she stood up the moment Zhen Yuhuan knelt down and hurriedly went to help Zhen Yuhuan up.

"Get up! What's wrong with you? What are you doing?"

However, Zhen Yuhuan kept talking to herself and was about to get to the crucial point when Jia Lian quickly interrupted her: "Alright, stop talking. How can you say that you lied to her?"

I was the one who said that since your sister Lin hadn't officially joined the family yet, you would have to put up with it for a while, and that I would find a suitable time to talk to her after she joined.

If we're talking about lying, it was me who lied to her.

What are you doing? Get up right now!
You don't understand your sister Lin, but I do. Her venting her anger on me is just a temporary thing; I'll coax her afterward.

By doing this, aren't you deliberately trying to prevent your sister Lin from being a decent person?

"Listen to me, get up."

Zhen Yuhuan was overwhelmed by Jia Lian's voice and listened to his elaborate explanation, feeling a mix of emotions.

She had just wanted to frankly admit that she was the one who had seduced Jia Lian, in order to reduce Daiyu's anger towards him.

However, Jia Lian interrupted her and made up these words, which must have moved her and made her feel ashamed.

After he hesitated for a long time, he finally lost his courage and no longer had the courage to speak.

Daiyu pulled Zhen Yuhuan up and looked at her reproachfully: "I'm angry with him, why did you come over and kneel before me?"
Although he's unreliable, he makes sense most of the time.

"Did I offend you? Are you deliberately trying to make me lose face, that's why you're kneeling before me?"

Even if Daiyu had a lot of anger in her heart, it was all wiped away by Zhen Yuhuan's kneeling.

She had also knelt down once, when she was establishing her relationship with Sister Feng, so she knew all too well the humiliation and compromise she had to endure at that moment.

Besides, she wasn't particularly angry; she just resented Jia Lian for always deceiving her.

What if she accidentally says something hurtful and Zhen Yuhuan behind the screen hears it?

Looking back now, it seems she didn't say anything hurtful, so it's all fine.

"Sister Lin, so you're not angry with me anymore?"

Daiyu paused for a moment, then reached out and poked Zhen Yuhuan's forehead with her finger, and laughed, "You're honest, but you've suddenly become cunning."

Okay, okay, I wasn't angry with you at all.

However, regarding someone…

Daiyu glanced back at the person sitting on the edge of the bed in a delicate manner.

When Zhen Yuhuan saw Daiyu smile, she knew that things were developing in the best possible direction.

She realized that her previous way of speaking to Jia Lian was inappropriate, so she became smarter and ignored Daiyu's implied meaning. She simply hugged Daiyu's arm and shook it coquettishly, saying, "I knew it, Sister Lin is the best."

Daiyu was not used to being so close to people, so she tried to push them away, but found that she couldn't, so she had to give up.

Both women possessed unparalleled beauty and were identical in appearance. When they stood so close together, they resembled a pair of flawless jade pieces.

Jia Lian had already been tempted by these two girls, and in this situation, he couldn't help but feel that they were like twin lotus blossoms, even more beautiful than sisters.

So, taking advantage of the moment when Daiyu was being entangled with Zhen Yuhuan, she quietly stepped forward and wrapped her arms around both women, pulling them into her embrace.

He was only wearing a robe and trousers, his arms bare. His sudden appearance naturally attracted the attention of both women.

Zhen Yuhuan lowered her head immediately in embarrassment.

After her initial embarrassment, Daiyu said coquettishly, "Didn't you say you were going to take a bath? Why are you bothering us again..."

Jia Lian wrapped his arms around her two incredibly slender waists, turned his head to look at Daiyu, and said with a smile, "Alright, I admit I lied to you again. Actually, I just washed up."

To express my remorse, I've decided to make it up to you properly.

Daiyu had to juggle multiple tasks, resisting the hormonal stimulation from Jia Lian's strong physique while also obeying his words.

Hearing him admit that he had lied to her again, she suddenly remembered something before she could even get angry.

She had suspected Jia Lian when she entered the room and saw him like this, but she ignored it because he said he was going to take a bath.

Since he had already washed up, and Yu Huan was still hiding behind the screen, it was obvious what the two of them had been doing in the room.

Once she understood this, she didn't care what kind of compensation Jia Lian offered and was ready to make trouble.

Before she could react, Jia Lian leaned down and kissed her, firmly capturing her cherry-like lips.

She naturally refused, making a "hmm" sound.

However, Jia Lian was prepared. He immediately abandoned the other woman next to him and used his other hand to control her as well.

For Jia Lian, eating a crab with both hands was naturally very easy.

“You…” Daiyu finally managed to open her mouth, but before she could even utter a single word of questioning, she was caught again.

When she had a free moment again, she was pinned to the bed by Jia Lian, just like before.

Enraged, she bit Jia Lian's shoulder hard.

Jia Lian, in pain, dared not act recklessly any longer and could only watch Daiyu cautiously.

However, his hands still firmly controlled the person in front of him.

"Lin Daiyu, you are so beautiful, I like you so much."

Jia Lian stared into Daiyu's eyes and made a deceptive sound.

Upon hearing this, Daiyu's expression became even more dazed. However, noticing out of the corner of her eye that Zhen Yuhuan had not moved, she retained her last shred of rationality and forced a cold laugh: "There are plenty of beauties in the world, and plenty of women you like."

The implication is clear: Bah, what a scumbag.

Jia Lian laughed and said, "There are many beauties in the world, but few are as beautiful as Lin Daiyu."

There is absolutely no one else I can love as much as I love Lin Daiyu.

"Liar, you're lying..."

Although Daiyu was scolding, her face turned red and hot.

The person also became non-aggressive and delicious.

Upon seeing this, Jia Lian couldn't help but lower his head and lightly kiss Daiyu's forehead, eyes, nose, and lips in turn.

His movements were so gentle that Daiyu had no way to resist. With her hands and feet restrained, she could only try to turn her head away and remind him in a soft voice, "No, Sister Yuhuan is still watching..."

Jia Lian ignored her and, following protocol, tasted Daiyu's small bite before leaning close to her ear and whispering, "Sister Lin, I have a dream..."

dream?

Daiyu's curiosity was piqued, and she turned around to look at Jia Lian directly.

From Jia Lian's longing expression, she suddenly understood the meaning.

It's not that she's particularly perceptive; rather, after being enlightened by Jia Lian over the years, she has come to understand a lot about men's thoughts and even read some related books to corroborate and speculate on them.

Therefore, she also knew that the existence of twin sisters had a unique attraction for men.

This can be seen from the fact that among the beauties Jia Lian collected were many sisters, indicating that Jia Lian was a particular enthusiast of them.

Most importantly, she knew all too well how much effort Jia Lian had put in to get her and Baochai to serve him together.

She had some guesses as to why Jia Lian was so enthusiastic about this.

It's highly likely that she and Baochai were the most outstanding in terms of talent and appearance among all the sisters in the Grand View Garden, making them a striking sister duo.

If Baochai is like this, then Yu Huan, who is very similar to her in appearance and temperament, must also be quite similar.

Even more so!

"Pah, don't even think about it..."

Before Daiyu could sort out these thoughts in her mind, she spat out unconsciously.

Jia Lian quickly reassured her, "Good sister, if you grant my wish, I can also grant you one."

Anything is fine, just ask.

Daiyu didn't want to hear what Jia Lian was about to say.

That greedy guy is getting more and more demanding. What does he take her for?
Just as she was about to launch into a righteous and scathing attack, she heard Jia Lian say that he could grant her one wish.

She hesitated, especially when she heard the additional explanation: "Anything is possible?"

"Of course! I wouldn't lie to you."

Daiyu pouted, thinking to herself, "You just lied to me."

However, she didn't dwell on this point. She tugged at his hand and found that Jia Lian was holding her tightly. Knowing that Jia Lian wouldn't let her off easily, she tilted her head back and chuckled, "Then I'll let you divorce Sister Bao, would you be willing?"

"I'll do whatever you want."

Jia Lian did not hesitate.

Taking flirting in bed seriously is foolish.

Besides, even if you divorce him, you can always marry him again.

Daiyu almost believed it, but when she saw how quickly Jia Lian answered, she knew that things were not so simple.

She rolled her eyes and snorted, "Forget it, if you really did that, you'd be heartbroken."

Daiyu would never force Jia Lian to divorce Baochai; she wouldn't have done so before, and she certainly wouldn't now.

This was originally a tentative joke.

Speaking of jokes, Daiyu actually meant to bring up Sister Feng, but changed her mind and said Baochai instead.

Without him.

Given the close relationship between Daiyu and Baochai, even if these words reached Baochai's ears today, she would probably just laugh it off.

But Sister Feng is different.

Given Sister Feng's temperament and stance, even if she knew it was a joke, it would inevitably leave a seed of doubt in her heart.

Daiyu's consideration reveals the current closeness or distance between her and Fengjie and Baochai.

This also shows that she has begun to grasp the philosophy of life.

"It's okay. My promise is valid and true in the long term. You can come and tell me whenever you think of what you really need."

Jia Lian was an extremely shrewd person.

If there's no explicit refusal, then it's okay.

It's just that we obviously can't give Daiyu too much time to react.

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately turned around and waved to Zhen Yuhuan, who was standing there in a daze.

Daiyu was still thinking about what wish she should make, since this was something she really wanted.

Now that Jia Lian has become the crown prince, he will definitely be busy again.

With this wish in mind, she could legitimately ask him to spend time with her...

She only came to her senses when she saw Jia Lian's actions.

Because Jia Lian raised his hand to beckon Zhen Yuhuan, one of her hands was freed, and she immediately used it to push against Jia Lian's chest, saying shyly, "What are you doing... you lecherous man, you haven't even asked what Yuhuan-meimei thinks yet..."

Ignoring her, Jia Lian pressed down on Daiyu's small arm again and continued kissing her.

The intention was to immerse Daiyu in a state of mental confusion.

After watching from behind for a while, Zhen Yuhuan naturally understood the situation.

She thought that although Daiyu said she forgave her on the surface, she must still harbor resentment towards her in her heart.

If... if we follow my sworn brother's wishes, perhaps we can really get her and Daiyu back to their former close relationship.

Zhen Yuhuan, who is in love, naively believes that everything Jia Lian is doing is to help her eliminate the barrier between her and Daiyu!
"Sister Lin, I...I'm willing..."

Zhen Yuhuan walked forward with her head down and said in a low, weak voice.

Daiyu had originally hoped that Zhen Yuhuan would speak out against it, so that the two of them could unite against the enemy and dispel Jia Lian's evil intentions.

Who would have thought that Zhen Yuhuan would be so useless?

This made her feel like she had shot herself in the foot.

Unable to speak, she could only curse silently as she continued to resist Jia Lian's harassment.

The force was noticeably weaker than before. (End of Chapter)
