The Second Master of the Red Chamber

When we returned to the city, it was already dark.

Jia Lian originally wanted to send Zhen Yuhuan directly to the Zhen family, but Zhen Yuhuan said that she still needed to formally say goodbye to Jia Mu and others.

So Zhen Yuhuan followed everyone back to the Grand View Garden. After everyone had packed up, they went to Lady Jia's courtyard together.

During this time, Jia's grandmother naturally asked her granddaughters what they had done today. Fortunately, everyone had agreed on a common story before returning to the city. They replaced wild bathing with treading water in the clear stream. Other things such as horse riding, picnics, and even the maids going into the water to catch fish were all told to Jia's grandmother and others.

Seeing their faces full of joy and reluctance, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, two experienced people, one old and one middle-aged, could not help but sigh:

Young is so good.

Jia Lian came in and said to Zhen Yuhuan, "Is everything ready? Let's go. The people your mother sent are here."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuhuan stood up from the stool, looked at Daiyu and others reluctantly, and finally said goodbye to Lady Jia, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Xing, and prepared to leave with Jia Lian.

Jia Baoyu, who was standing next to him, couldn't express his reluctance to leave in words, but in the end there was nothing he could do. He could only feel sad and shed tears.

Grandmother Jia hated to see Jia Baoyu sad, but she could do nothing about it. She could only ask Jia Lian, "Do you want to send him off in person?"

"I promised Aunt Zhen yesterday, so of course I want it."

Grandmother Jia sighed, "It's better to send them off. After all, they are brother and sister."

People have always been sad about separation. Now that Lady Jia has grown old, she hates separation scenes the most. What she likes is to gather all her children and grandchildren around her and have fun and excitement.

So Jia Lian bowed and left with Zhen Yuhuan and her maid Manxue.

The Zhen family didn't know whether they didn't bring enough people from the capital or they were too busy to spare any help, so there were only two maids and two servants who came to pick them up.

Although it was a lonely carriage with four servants, the momentum was naturally different with the addition of Jia Lian and his personal guards.

So, under the protection of Jia Lian's personal guards, the maids and servants of the Zhen family seemed extremely cautious and dared not even breathe.

After walking out of Ningrong Street, Zhen Yuhuan lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to Jia Lian who was riding on a horse beside her: "Brother, can you come up? I have something to tell you."

Jia Lian raised his hand and shook it, and the marching team stopped immediately.

He didn't hesitate too much, he got off the horse and jumped into the carriage.

The Zhen family's carriage looks simple on the outside, but is quite luxuriously decorated on the inside. It is obvious that the Zhen family is indeed not short of money.

Jia Lian took a glance at Zhen Yuhuan, and under her shy and expectant eyes, he sat down next to her, put his arms around her slender waist, and held her in his arms.

This scene undoubtedly made Miss Manxue, who had been standing obediently in the corner after Jia Lian came in, open her mouth in astonishment.

Zhen Yuhuan had not expected Jia Lian to be so overbearing and direct. She snuggled in Jia Lian's arms and whispered reluctantly, "Manxue is still watching..."

Jia Lian followed her words and glanced at the pretty maidservant beside him, who was also very pretty but looked inferior to the girls, and said, "Why, is she not loyal to you?"

Jia Lian's voice was inexplicably cold and sharp, and his eyes narrowed, causing Man Xue's heart to beat wildly as she faced his gaze, and a chill rose uncontrollably from the bottom of her heart.

She had no doubt that if Jia Lian was really dissatisfied with her loyalty, she would hardly see the sun tomorrow.

Then her legs went limp, she knelt on the floor with a plop, and swore to the heavens, "Don't worry, Lord Rong, I grew up with our girl, and my loyalty to her is evident to heaven and earth. I will never do anything to harm our girl.

If you break this oath, I am willing to be torn to pieces and go to the eighteen levels of hell after death."

After saying that, he kowtowed deeply without hesitation.

Her serious look not only surprised Jia Lian, but also made Zhen Yuhuan sit up straighter and look at her in a daze.

Then she burst out laughing.

As a lady of the master who grew up with Manxue, she was naturally very familiar with Manxue. She could see that the girl was frightened by Jia Lian.

She did not think Manxue was too timid, because even though Jia Lian's expression changed slightly just now, even she, who had fallen in love with Jia Lian and had infinite admiration and trust for him, could sense the aura of majesty.

Fearing that Jia Lian might have frightened her maid, she hurriedly said, "Brother, please don't scare her. Manxue is the person I trust the most, otherwise I wouldn't take her with me everywhere. Don't worry, brother, she won't go out and tell anyone."

Jia Lian then said "hmm", and then acted as if nothing had happened. He just hugged the delicate body in his arms, and gently stroked her thin shoulders with his slender fingers.

Jia Lian was used to enjoying beautiful women, so even though Zhen Yuhuan was as light as a swallow and exuded a faint fragrance, Jia Lian was able to maintain his demeanor.

But Zhen Yuhuan was just a young girl, her mind was pure, and even such a simple caress was enough to make her feel numb and overwhelmed.

Suppressing the restlessness in her dantian, she raised her head and whispered, "Brother, thank you, thank you for sending me back personally, I am very happy..."

Feeling the heat from the little maid hitting his chin, Jia Lian couldn't help but lower his head.

The delicate and beautiful little face was already rosy, and the pair of charming peach eyes were also curved into crescents.

Those who often tease Daiyu know that this is a sign of love.

Jia Lian thought it over again and again, and finally stopped that impulsive thought.

The main reason was that he knew that this girl had a very weak ability to withstand stress, but her voice was clear and melodious, as penetrating as a lark, and it was difficult for people outside to not hear it.

In order to cool the girl down, Jia Lian let go of his hand, held her shoulders with both hands and put her standing in front of him.

Unexpectedly, the girl's height fits perfectly into the carriage, so she can stand tall without having to bend over.

"Sworn brother?"

Zhen Yuhuan didn't understand why Jia Lian suddenly asked her to stand up. She looked at Jia Lian who was sitting in front of her with some confusion and resentment.

Unexpectedly, Jia Lian looked at her for a while and then raised his hands again.

Just when she thought Jia Lian was going to touch her face, or even hold her in his hands and kiss her, she discovered that his hands were actually heading straight for the double-breasted buttons under her right shoulder.

His movements were skillful and quick, and in the moment when she was distracted, she could clearly feel the clothes that were tightly protecting her loosen a little.

"Brother, what are you doing..." Zhen Yuhuan subconsciously raised her hands to protect her chest due to the shyness of the girl. "Don't move."

"You are too hot. Let me cool you down."

Jia Lian, like a caring brother, took her hands away, and then naturally peeled off her clothes.

Perhaps because of her trust in Jia Lian, or perhaps because of the girl's inner excitement, Zhen Yuhuan did not try to stop him during this process, but just looked at Jia Lian quietly and shyly.

"Is it cooler now?"

Looking at the little girl in front of him who was only wearing an emerald green bellyband and whose appearance and demeanor were exactly the same as Daiyu, Jia Lian asked seriously.

"Um……"

Zhen Yuhuan was speechless, but she folded her hands in front of her stomach, and although she behaved awkwardly, she really felt that the heat in her heart had subsided a lot.

Being young and naive, she naturally didn't know that her lust was being covered up by shame.

Hearing that it was useful, Jia Lian calmly tugged at his loose trousers and robe, quietly sat up, and fixed his eyes on the touch of green in front of him.

Although he knew that this was a self-defeating behavior, he still couldn't help but want to do it.

You know, the current Daiyu will not be so obedient as to let him peel her clothes and take a look.

Although he had already determined before noon that Zhen Yuhuan looked just like Daiyu even without her clothes, he was busy with work at that time and could not calm down and appreciate her carefully.

Jia Lian couldn't control his hands and was so focused on cooling down Zhen Yuhuan that he didn't notice that the maid in the corner had her mouth open so wide that an egg could be stuffed in.

So, the girl and her brother-in-law have become so close? When did this happen? How come I didn't know...

She wanted to do something to fulfill her duties as a personal maid, but seeing her girl's shy and willing appearance, she didn't know what to do.

I just pretended to be an ostrich and leaned against the wall to minimize my presence.

Then she discovered that after Jia Lian took off his girl's bellyband, he was still not satisfied, and he quickly made the girl naked, just like she used to help her girl bathe!

it's over... it's over...

If she still couldn't guess what happened between her daughter and Jia Lian at this moment, she would not be a trusted maid trained by a big family.

Originally, she was thinking about whether she should reveal some of the "overly close" relationship between her daughter and Jia Lian to her wife. After all, she was arranged by Mrs. Zhen to be by Zhen Yuhuan's side to take care of the lady's daily life.

But at this moment, she no longer had that plan.

As the legitimate daughter of the Zhen family, the apple of the family's eye, her own girl's virginity was lost inexplicably right under her nose. Regardless of whether she knew about it or not, she could not escape the blame for her dereliction of duty.

It would be fine if she was negligent in other matters, but this was related to her own girl's life and the future of the entire Zhen family, and she dared to neglect her duty.

Just for this reason, the Zhen family deprived her of her life, and there is nothing to be criticized about it!

"Brother~~"

Zhen Yuhuan tried hard to cover the parts she wanted to cover with her hands, and looked at Jia Lian with shame and anger on her face.

When Jia Lian stripped her naked, she was still thinking that Jia Lian would surely be unable to resist and would want to pamper her like he did in the morning, but she found that Jia Lian still just let her stand there, staring at her whole body.

The carriage, which was clearly airtight, now felt to her like it was leaking air from all sides, making her feel a chill in her heart.

So she couldn't help but think, was it really that she was overthinking it, and her brother really just saw that she was too hot and wanted to cool her down?

But this way of cooling down is too shameful.

If she hadn't felt that she had already devoted herself to her brother and that he could do anything to her, she would never have allowed Jia Lian to strip her like this.

Seeing that Jia Lian ignored her and only looked at her body, she finally couldn't help but said in shame: "If you do this again, I will ignore you."

Having said this, he turned his back.

But she didn't know how much shock her action brought to a certain pervert.

But seeing that the beauty was angry, Jia Lian still did not just enjoy the feast for his eyes. He reached out and pulled Zhen Yuhuan back, and Jia Lian praised: "Huan'er, you are so beautiful."

If it were Daiyu, she would definitely not have any big reaction after hearing Jia Lian's praise, because she had heard similar words many times.

But for Zhen Yuhuan, this was almost a groundbreaking event.

In fact, until today, she had not had many intimate contacts with Jia Lian, but because of the imminent separation, she impulsively gave herself to him.

She had never heard such straightforward praise from Jia Lian.

So her little face turned red again and again, and she finally asked shyly: "Then... am I prettier, or is Sister Lin prettier?"

Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, then he said without hesitation: "You two are born exactly the same, both are flawless jades. Praising her is praising you, and praising you is praising her. How can you compare them?"

Jia Lian said this with a smile, and then, without giving Zhen Yuhuan a chance to continue to attack, he pulled away her half-covered hand and said after a while, "Does it still hurt?"

Zhen Yuhuan naturally understood what Jia Lian meant. She wanted to say that it didn't hurt anymore, but when the words came to her lips, she said aggrievedly, "Hmm..."

Sure enough, Jia Lian hugged her in his arms with a look of pity, and said lovingly, "It's my fault, brother. I shouldn't be so rude."

She pressed herself against Jia Lian's chest again, still so tightly pressed together without any clothing on. Zhen Yuhuan could clearly feel the heat coming from Jia Lian's body, which completely enveloped her.

The desire that had just dissipated surged into her heart again, and she whispered shyly into Jia Lian's ear: "I don't blame my brother, and I like the way he treats me..."

As she was speaking, she felt her knee being hurt, and as a new wife she quickly figured out the reason.

Therefore, instead of hiding, she boldly broke away from Jia Lian's arms, held Jia Lian's head and stared at him for two seconds, then put her little mouth close to him and took the initiative to kiss her sworn brother.
