The Second Master of the Red Chamber

"Huan'er, hold on to the reins tightly, don't let it throw you off!"

Jia Lian shouted a warning, and immediately slapped his horse's butt and chased forward. But how could the horse know what he meant in the first place? When he controlled it and jumped into the wheat field and accelerated to catch up, Zhen Yuhuan and the crazy horse had already run a long way, and jumped onto the path on the opposite side of the field, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Jia Lian couldn't help feeling anxious, because if anything happened to Zhen Yuhuan, not only would he feel heartbroken, but he would also have a hard time explaining to the Zhen family.

Therefore, he did not care about taking care of the immature horse under him. He pulled out the whip pinned next to the horse's head, whipped the horse, and followed the sound of horse hooves in front.

Fortunately, they only turned a corner and saw Zhen Yuhuan and her horse. Jia Lian immediately approached quickly with his riding skills and horsepower.

Unfortunately, the road was narrow and rugged, and Jia Lian was afraid of scaring the people and the horse, so he just followed behind to comfort and teach them. When they ran to a slightly wider area, he jumped on his horse and caught up with them. He bent down and reached out to grab Zhen Yuhuan's reins and slowly controlled the horse.

"Woo woo woo, brother~"

Seeing that the horse finally stopped, Zhen Yuhuan was helped off the horse by Jia Lian, and she threw herself into Jia Lian's arms with tears in her eyes.

"Okay, okay, it's okay."

Jia Lian held the girl in his arms, feeling her trembling body, and couldn't help but comfort her softly.

"Wow, I just thought that from now on, I would never see my brother again..."

"Silly, how could that be? It's all right now."

Jia Lian lifted up the body in his arms and looked at the person whose face was full of tears but still couldn't hide her beautiful face. Suddenly, something in his heart skipped a beat, but he resisted the urge to think about it and just wiped away her tears gently with his thumb.

There were too many tears, so she raised her sleeves and wiped them one by one.

He was more than a head taller than Zhen Yuhuan. At this moment, he bent his head to wipe her tears and looked at her intently.

I don’t know if it was because his eyes were too serious and his expression was too gentle that caused the little girl to misunderstand.

Zhen Yuhuan, who gradually stopped sobbing, looked back at Jia Lian, and suddenly raised her head, moved closer to him, and closed her eyes.

Jia Lian was stunned.

It would be insincere to say that he didn't like the face in front of him that was almost exactly the same as Daiyu's.

That slightly pouting little mouth looked a little different from Daiyu's, because every time he kissed Daiyu it was almost always a sneak attack or a forceful kiss, and Daiyu would never pout her lips to ask for a kiss like that.

Therefore, he immediately imagined another form of Daiyu.

Moreover, he had tasted the pink, red lips in front of him before. Although that was just an accident and he mistook it for Daiyu, he did have the desire to taste her again.

Now, it seems that this desire can be realized by just lowering my head.

But he had some doubts in his heart.

If the little girl in his arms was a maid, even just a commoner, Jia Lian would not have any hesitation and would have tasted her.

But she is not. She is the most beautiful and favored daughter of the Zhen family, and is the hope of the Zhen family to cultivate her as the future queen mother.

It's not something you can just take responsibility for.

Moreover, he knew that he might not be able to give the other party the same status and reputation as Daiyu and Baochai.

Jia Lian was weighing the pros and cons. However, because he remained motionless for so long, the beautiful little face in front of him, with its eyes tightly closed, had twitched slightly, revealing a strong sense of grievance, as if it would cry out again at any time.

Jia Lian smiled in his heart. He was the Duke of Rong, a playboy who could handle the princess with ease, when did he become so cautious?

So he pulled his arms together, pressed the person in his arms against him, then lowered his head and kissed her.

The familiar yet strange feeling came over Zhen Yuhuan, shocking her greatly.

She closed her eyes tightly, and tears of emotion welled up almost immediately.

She knew that her brother-in-law liked her in his heart, and as long as she took the initiative, her brother-in-law would definitely not reject her.

She immediately wrapped her soft and slender arms around Jia Lian's strong body, opened her little mouth, and moved closer to Jia Lian, fully feeling the impulsive joy and beauty.

Time passed minute by minute, perhaps only half a quarter of an hour, or perhaps several years had passed, before the two finally parted their lips.

Jia Lian lowered his head to look at Zhen Yuhuan, whose face was flushed and eyes were blurred, and who obviously could not tell east from west. He was in a trance for a moment.

It was only because Zhen Yuhuan, in this state, looked exactly like Daiyu. This feeling of being real and unreal at the same time was, I have to say, somewhat strange and interesting.

The two looked at each other, and Zhen Yuhuan's eyes gradually became focused. Jia Lian smiled and said, "Are you satisfied, little greedy cat?"

Zhen Yuhuan suddenly became very embarrassed. She quietly buried her head in Jia Lian's arms, not wanting Jia Lian to see her shy expression.

But after a moment, she raised her head again, and said nervously and expectantly: "Brother, please take me..."

The little girl's voice trembled a little, and she subconsciously tried to turn her head away to avoid Jia Lian's gaze.

Jia Lian looked calm, but he was already agitated inside. However, he still asked, "Will you regret it?"

"Uh-huh."

All of Zhen Yuhuan's courage disappeared when she realized that Jia Lian might have agreed, and she shyly hid in Jia Lian's arms.

What else could Jia Lian say? At this point, he could not tolerate Zhen Yuhuan being promised to someone else. Since the beauty was so kind, how could he not help her?

Glancing at the two foals grazing on the crops nearby, Jia Lian bent down, picked up Zhen Yuhuan, and walked towards the forest...

……

The dense branches and leaves of the trees blocked the sunlight, leaving only patches of colorful light.

A large brocade cloak was spread on the scorched yellow leaves, forming a simple bed of love.

Jia Lian turned over and lay on his back on his cloak, which had been wrinkled and messy from long time ago, breathing lightly to calm his inner joy.

But his heart was quite complicated, and he even felt a little regretful.

Back then, even though he loved Qingwen so much, he waited until Qingwen reached the age of marriage before he really took action. However, Zhen Yuhuan, if you really counted, was even younger than Daiyu, which was a sin.

But the little girl Zhen Yuhuan seemed quite satisfied.

Jia Lian couldn't help but hug the person next to him, bringing his body closer to him.

Zhen Yuhuan suddenly let out a moan, and as she was wiping her chest with her handkerchief closed, she snuggled up to Jia Lian's chest.

After a while, she couldn't help it anymore, she stood up slightly, looked at Jia Lian and asked: "Brother, did you do it to me because you don't want me to be pregnant with your blood?"

Jia Lian was so surprised that he couldn't help but look down at her.

Zhen Yuhuan immediately realized the reason for Jia Lian's surprise, and she explained in a low voice: "Before, I was going to marry the prince, so my mother taught me a lot of ways to serve others in private..."

The more Zhen Yuhuan spoke, the redder her face became and the softer her voice became.

Jia Lian was relieved. He moved his arm around the beauty, touched her hot face and replied, "You are still too young. If you want a child, it won't be too late in a few years. Having a child too early is very dangerous. I don't want you to take risks."

Hearing this, Zhen Yuhuan nodded as if she understood, and buried her head in Jia Lian's chest again, feeling the sound of Jia Lian's heartbeat. She felt extremely satisfied.

Suddenly she raised her head and said, "Brother, I like you."

"Ok, I know."

"I really like you. I really like you. Ever since you lifted me up from the freezing water in Weiyang Palace, I have been thinking about you. I can't forget you day or night.

But at that time I was engaged to the prince, so I didn't dare tell you.

Now... it's so good..."

Zhen Yuhuan was moved and opened her heart to her lover, but she felt a little nervous when she noticed that Jia Lian did not react much.

She secretly glanced at Jia Lian's expression, and then said: "But don't worry, brother, I won't pester you, and I won't argue with Sister Feng and Sister Lin. What happened today was all my own will, and it has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to take it to heart..."

She wanted to appear relaxed and carefree, but she couldn't control her emotions well after all, and her voice choked up as she spoke.

Jia Lian heard this, sighed, raised his other hand and patted her head, saying, "Little fool, what nonsense are you talking about? Since you have given yourself to me, you are naturally mine.

However, your brother-in-law has some troubles that have not been resolved yet. I am afraid that I cannot take good care of you if you stay with me, so you should go back to Nanjing with your mother first.

Don't worry, it will be at most three years. Within three years, I will definitely take you to my side. Then we can be together every day, okay?"

"Really?"

Zhen Yuhuan felt a little disappointed when she heard Jia Lian wanted her to go back to Nanjing, but she was pleasantly surprised when she heard the following words.

Jia Lian said "hmm" and asked, "Why, you still don't believe in my brother?"

"No, I believe you, brother. I will listen to you and wait for you to pick me up in Nanjing!"

Zhen Yuhuan gave herself to Jia Lian easily because of her youthful impulse. She did not have so many plans at first.

Now that she has received a promise from Jia Lian, she is already quite satisfied.

Suddenly, she realized a problem and said nervously, "Oh no, we've been out for so long, Sister Lin won't be suspicious, right?"

Zhen Yuhuan is not ready to face Daiyu yet, and she has always relied on currying favor with Daiyu to stay with Daiyu and get closer to Jia Lian.

Daiyu had always been very good to her, but now she was having an affair with Jia Lian behind Daiyu's back, which naturally made her feel very sorry for Daiyu.

But then I thought that I would be leaving Beijing and returning to the south tomorrow anyway, so I felt a lot more relieved.

Jia Lian smiled when he heard Zhen Yuhuan's words. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the voice of "Shasha".

Someone is coming.

But Jia Lian was not nervous at all, he knew who was coming.

Sure enough, just as Zhen Yuhuan nervously hurried to hide in his arms, Aqin's figure appeared in front of them.

He first glanced at them, focusing on Zhen Yuhuan's fair and petite body, and then said to Yanran and Jia Lian: "If Master doesn't get up, I'm afraid Miss Lin and the others will come to kill us."

Jia Lian had already sat up at this time. He nodded when he heard this and prepared to get dressed.

However, Aqin reminded him: "Master, don't move yet. Let me clean it for you."

As she spoke, Ah Qin took out the kettle prepared at her waist, soaked a handkerchief with it, and then knelt in front of Jia Lian to wipe the messiest area.

Zhen Yuhuan, who was originally very shy, saw Jia Lian exposing his body so frankly in front of Aqin, and naturally understood that this sister Aqin who carried a sword with her was probably Jia Lian's woman.

Despite this, she still shyly hid behind Jia Lian, not daring to let Aqin see her naked body.

Jia Lian was touched to see that Aqin had made such complete preparations. He knew that Aqin or her sisters had guessed that Zhen Yuhuan was still a virgin, and there was no water source for cleaning in the mountains, so they specially prepared water and a handkerchief.

"Hahaha, Miss Zhen is indeed a delicate virgin. It looks like you are not satisfying me at all."

Aqin's sudden words made Zhen Yuhuan stunned at first. Then she followed Aqin's gaze and suddenly felt shy and embarrassed. At the same time, she couldn't help asking herself, did she really not satisfy her brother?

Jia Lian, however, tapped Ah Qin on the forehead as a punishment, and then said, "Give it to me."

Ah Qin naturally understood what Jia Lian meant. She covered her head with her hands, gave the handkerchief to Jia Lian with some grievance, and knelt down.

She also saw Zhen Yuhuan hiding behind Jia Lian, and she was unwilling to come out even when Jia Lian coaxed her. Although she was happy to see the joke, she could only turn around and turn her back when she saw Jia Lian's gaze.

After Jia Lian finally cleaned Zhen Yuhuan's body, Aqin helped them both put on their clothes.

The mountain road was uneven, and Zhen Yuhuan's melon had just burst, so Jia Lian carried her down the mountain.

During the process, Jia Lian couldn't help but think that although the previous chase did not last long, it had covered three or four miles. Zhen Yuhuan's current condition was definitely not suitable for riding a horse, but if she was carried back by him, it would inevitably arouse people's speculations.

Since he decided to let Zhen Yuhuan follow her mother back to Nanjing first, he decided not to expose her yet.

After all, his relationship with Baochai had just been confirmed, and he really didn't want to irritate Daiyu and others too much.

Then he changed his mind and said to Aqin behind him, "There is a mountain road about a mile away, which can be used by carriages. Go and arrange a carriage to come over, and we will wait for you there.

If the girls see you and ask you, just say she broke her foot and I took her to see a doctor."

Aqin laughed when she heard that and immediately did as she was told.

Zhen Yuhuan, who was in Jia Lian's arms, naturally understood what Jia Lian meant from his words. Although she felt a little embarrassed, she also felt that her brother was so smart.

This explanation not only explains why they were delayed outside for so long, but also covers up her current physical inconvenience. It also makes sense why their clothes were dirty. It is perfect.

With no one around, Zhen Yuhuan returned to her dependent state. She wrapped her arms around Jia Lian's neck affectionately, carefully feeling the feeling of being held in Jia Lian's arms.

Suddenly she remembered something and looked a little confused and hesitant.

Jia Lian lowered his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

"without……"

Jia Lian smiled slightly and did not ask any further questions.

After a while, they were about to reach the other side of the mountain path. After much thought, Zhen Yuhuan finally made a decision.

"Brother, I'm sorry..."

Jia Lian looked at her in confusion.

There was some regret on Zhen Yuhuan's small and delicate face: "Brother, I'm sorry. I deceived everyone and deceived you before.

Actually, I can ride a horse. The reason why the horse I rode lost control before was actually because I did it on purpose. I took a hairpin and secretly stabbed it..."

Zhen Yuhuan sounded aggrieved and nervous; she was afraid that Jia Lian would be angry with her.

But she also felt that she had to confess proactively, because she knew that with Jia Lian's intelligence, he would surely understand when he turned around and discovered it, or when his subordinates told him about the injuries on the horse.

She was afraid that Jia Lian would dislike her at that time, so she decided to confess the truth proactively, perhaps gaining her brother's forgiveness.

After all, the purpose of her doing this was just to get away from everyone's sight and spend some time alone with Jia Lian...

After hearing this, Jia Lian showed no surprise. He smiled and said, "Okay, I've seen it a long time ago, and I understand your thoughts. Don't worry, I don't blame you."

Jia Lian was actually confused at first. After all, if Zhen Yuhuan had never ridden a horse before, it would not make sense that the horse didn't shake her off on such a rugged and bumpy mountain road at such a speed.

Because Jia Lian knew that if it were Daiyu, she would have fallen down in the wheat field as early as now.

But he was too worried at first and didn't think much about it. It was not until he was kissing Zhen Yuhuan that he saw the horse trying to turn its head back to lick something, and he discovered the not-so-obvious wound on the horse's back.

He had probably guessed it at that time.

"Really?" Zhen Yuhuan asked in surprise. From Jia Lian's reaction, she could tell that Jia Lian really had no intention of blaming her.

Jia Lian slapped Zhen Yuhuan's small buttocks and taught her a lesson: "Although I don't blame you this time, you are not allowed to be so reckless next time. What if you fall off the horse, it will be terrible."

"Yeah, I know. I won't do that again." She smiled playfully.

In fact, Zhen Yuhuan wanted to be alone with Jia Lian too much, and wanted something to happen between them before they parted, so she acted rashly under impulse.

In fact, how good was her horsemanship? On that stretch of mountain road, she almost lost her grip and fell off the horse several times. She thought she was dead, so she threw herself into Jia Lian's arms and cried in fear. She was really scared.
