The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 879 Looking for fragrance in the middle of the night (2)

Su Yun, a mere maid, could not possibly compare to her mistress, who was ranked among the Twelve Beauties.

However, the pure and innocent young girl's main qualities were cleanliness and obedience, which Jia Lian also enjoyed very much.

So he deliberately went against his usual gentle treatment of virgins and tormented the master and servant.

He didn't stop until he felt completely exhausted.

Li Wan also rested for a long time before she came to her senses.

She suddenly remembered something, leaned on Jia Lian and asked, "What do you think of our third daughter?"

“Her? She’s certainly very good, otherwise I wouldn’t have recommended her to help you manage the household.”

Li Wan suddenly laughed and said, "Speaking of the steward! Your wife is such a capable person, but back then the steward was often cursed by the subordinates."

It's only because you've supported her all these years that her situation has improved.

How could I possibly control those people?

I'm afraid that in the end, I'll have made a complete mess of the house, and don't blame me then.

Jia Lian found this amusing, and lightly slapped Li Wan's plump, peach-shaped buttocks before saying:

"They're not as powerful as you make them out to be. They're just a bunch of servants, what are they going to do with their lives?"
If you encounter someone who doesn't listen, don't worry about who they are, just give them a good beating, and they'll all behave.

Li Wan secretly rolled her eyes.

For Jia Lian, managing a household was as simple as it could be. Who would dare to defy this big tiger?
Besides, Jia Lian dared to punish all the servants in the house with a beating, no matter who they were, but she could never do that.

So she said in a coquettish tone, "Anyway, I don't care. If something goes wrong, you have to speak well of me in front of the old lady and the madam."

Jia Lian looked down at Li Wan with some surprise.

He suddenly felt a bit annoyed by the darkness, as it prevented him from clearly seeing Li Wan's beautiful expression.

But the sense of pride in my heart was genuine.

This old plum tree, which bloomed alone in the cold, finally experienced a second spring thanks to his watering.

Li Wan was trying to steer the conversation back to Tan Chun when she turned around and noticed the maid on Jia Lian's other chest quietly shifting her body down and peeking at him.

She immediately retorted, "You shameless little slut, weren't you done with that yet?"

When Su Yun realized she had been caught peeping, she immediately buried her head under Jia Lian's armpit, too ashamed to face anyone.

This is her first time tonight.

She was quite proud that her own grandmother was chosen as her mattress on her first try.

Unfortunately, she didn't have a chance to properly examine the weapon that had caused her so much pain from beginning to end.

Out of curiosity, I wanted to take a look, but my own grandmother found out. How embarrassing!

"Hahaha."

Jia Lian smiled and pulled both the master and servant into his arms.

Then Li Wan continued, "I plan to act as a matchmaker for you and suggest to Madam that Sanya be betrothed to you. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, not only was Jia Lian surprised, but even Su Yun, who had been keeping her head down, quietly peeked out.

Why do you have such thoughts?

Li Wan smiled and said, "Tonight, seeing how close Sanya was to you, I suddenly had this thought."

Jia Lian remained silent for a long while before saying, "She's my sister."

Li Wan chuckled.

I thought to myself, "You scoundrel who's stealing his sister-in-law, what do you care about these things?"
However, since it was a serious matter, she still said, "Although she has called you brother for so many years, who doesn't know now that you are not a member of our Jia family at all?"

In that case, there is no difference between San Ya Tou and Lin Ya Tou.

She is so radiant and has such a good personality. Since you like her too, why not take her into your household like you did with Lin and Bao?
This will not only continue the brother-sister relationship between you, but also deepen your bond with our family and avoid many misunderstandings.

This is a win-win situation, why wouldn't you do it?

Jia Lian hesitated for a long time, then seemed to have finally figured it out, and turned to her, saying:

"Since my sister-in-law is so kind, how can I refuse her?"

However, there's no rush. You should ask the master and mistress for their opinions first.

By the way, the key point is what the third sister means.

If she doesn't want to, I don't want to force her, and none of you are allowed to force her either.

Jia Lian spoke so earnestly that Li Wan believed he was truly moved by her profound words.

Little did she know that the third sister she spoke of had already become someone else's possession, and she was still trying to sell her off—it was truly laughable.

……

After eating and drinking his fill, Jia Lian returned to his study. As soon as he slipped through the back door and arrived at his own rocking bed, he sensed something was amiss.

A faint, exotic fragrance filled the air.

Jia Lian immediately became alert and reached into the quilt.

Then I felt relieved.

My little girl was completely naked, and she was faintly sweating.

It seems she comforted herself while I was away.

He didn't mind, took off the robe he had just put on, and went inside.

Holding the small body in his arms, before the rocking bed had even stopped, a body that was equally smooth and slippery, but even softer and more serpentine, suddenly wrapped around him from the other end.

Jia Lian was startled at first, but then he recognized the person by the soft moans that were whispering in his ear.

So he pulled her to the other side, kissed her, and laughed, "Why did you sneak over here?"

From the darkness, a sweet, seductive voice rang out: "Uncle sneaking out to steal food so late at night, I'm going to tell Auntie~"

"You dare to complain? You've gone too far!"

Jia Lian made a gesture and slapped the beauty's buttocks, which had already flipped onto his right side, twice hard.

The beauty was panting heavily after being beaten, and dared not retaliate any further.

Then Jia Lian said to the little maid on his left who hadn't dared to utter a sound, "Well, now even you dare to lie to me."

Xiangling blushed and explained, "I didn't mean to lie to Second Master."

It was Little Rong's eldest mistress who said that she was teasing Second Master... and that Second Master cruelly left us two delicate beauties in the house while he went out to steal food; he's a big bad guy.

Xiangling became more and more confident as she spoke.

Although she is obedient, it doesn't mean she has no emotions.

If she hadn't thought Qin Keqing was right, she wouldn't have cooperated in startling Jia Lian.

Jia Lian was much more polite to Xiang Ling, only patting her bottom lightly and warning her, "This is a one-time thing, don't do it again."

After saying that, he asked Qin Keqing, "Why did you come here? Does your aunt know?"

"It was my aunt who sent them to serve my second uncle."

"She's so kind?"

Jia Lian's tone was full of disbelief.

He knew Feng Jie too well. If Qin Keqing had truly been kept around for his sake, Xiangling would have already gone back to the East Mansion with Madam You.

The reason she kicked me out in front of so many maids and servants was to put on a show for others, to avoid suspicion.

Seeing that she couldn't fool Jia Lian, Qin Keqing grabbed Jia Lian's chest with one hand, bit his ear, and whispered with a laugh.

It turns out that Sister Feng kept Qin Keqing with her tonight because she really just wanted to have a long talk with someone to share her joy.

However, she underestimated her best friend and niece-in-law.

The other person was indeed a very good listener. He listened attentively as she shared her feelings, and even took the opportunity to bring up Jia Lian and criticize him, which made Feng Jie feel happy from the inside out.

Then, when Sister Feng liked her the most, he took the opportunity to start flirting with her.

You should know that since Jia Lian came back more than half a month ago and favored Feng Jie once, she has not received any favors since.

Given that he had indeed had some frivolous encounters with Qin Keqing before, it was not appropriate for him to firmly reject her.

Therefore, in order to prevent Qin Keqing from continuing to cause trouble for her, Feng Jie decided to show mercy and let Qin Keqing come out to find Jia Lian herself.

While I'm at it, I'll check up on her.

So Qin Keqing sneaked into the study and, upon hearing Xiangling's question, replied from outside the door:
"It's me, Xiangling..."

Xiangling didn't know whether Qin Keqing was calling her or referring to herself as Xiangling.

She had some lingering trauma from Qin Keqing and originally only wanted to get rid of her as Jia Lian had instructed.

Unfortunately, her skill level was far lower than Qin Keqing's. After only a few words, Qin Keqing guessed that Jia Lian was not in the room.

To prevent Qin Keqing from reporting them, Xiangling had no choice but to welcome Qin Keqing into the house.

Then, it's the story that unfolds after the little white rabbit welcomes the big bad wolf into the house.

It wasn't until her second master returned that she was temporarily rescued from Qin Keqing's clutches.

As Qin Keqing recounted in detail how she escaped from Feng Jie's clutches and how she came to find him, Jia Lian's heart was already itching with desire.

Unfortunately, I had already used up all my savings at Daoxiangcun.

Left with no other choice, he could only go through the motions of a passionate embrace before falling asleep with the two beauties, who shared similar figures and looks.
