The Red Chamber: Starting from Saving Xue Baochai

Chapter 137 A rare wildness
Shen Yuan and Qiu'er spent a lot of time together in the study, trying to comfort the girl's lovelorn self.

After they had dinner together, Qiu'er reluctantly returned to Huifang Garden.

Shen Yuan looked at the departing figure, and a pair of pink and red lips appeared in his mind, just like the white jade tiger, clear and pure.

This undoubtedly adds a bit more temptation to Qiu'er. These girls of his really have their own characteristics.

Shen Yuan stayed in the study for more than an hour, and only went to the side room after Baochai returned home.

As Baochai sat down at the table, she saw Shen Yuan walk in.

"Husband."

Shen Yuan sat down next to Baochai, looked at his dignified and gentle wife, and called her softly, "Madam".

Then he said to Ying'er beside him, "Have someone prepare some hot water so that my wife and I can take a bath."

It had been some time since he last bathed with Baochai.

Ying'er was pouring tea for the two of them. When she heard her brother-in-law's instructions, her face turned red and she went downstairs to prepare it.

Baochai's fair face also turned red, and as she thought about what was going to happen, her watery almond eyes showed a hint of shyness.

"I heard from my aunt that my elder sister will leave the palace and return home tomorrow."

Shen Yuan reached out and smoothed the black hair by the beautiful woman's ears, and said softly, "Well, she should have her own life now."

"Sister Yun and I are all happy for Big Sister."

Shen Yuan smiled and said, "Now you have another sister to play with. You can visit her more often if you have nothing to do. I'm sure the elder sister is also thinking about you little sisters."

Baochai smiled sweetly and said, "Well, elder sister, it has indeed been difficult for you to live in the palace these years. In a couple of days, I will invite you to Fang Garden to play. Everyone will be very happy."

After a pause, Baochai looked at Shen Yuan and continued, "My aunt said that my uncle will come to Rong Mansion tomorrow. First, he will come to visit the old lady, and second, he will also meet my aunt and mother, as well as these young nephews in the mansion."

When Shen Yuan heard this, a strange feeling flashed through his mind.

Wang Ziteng was in power at the time, and he should have gradually begun to look down on the Jia family. So why did he suddenly think of visiting the Rongguo Mansion at this time?

It would have been fine if he had just said he was coming to see Lady Jia, but why would he have mentioned visiting Aunt Xue, Lady Wang, and the younger generations in the mansion?
When Wang Ziteng returned to the capital, according to etiquette, it should have been Lady Wang and Aunt Xue who led a group of younger generations to visit him. But now the situation was reversed, which inevitably made Shen Yuan feel strange.

Baochai noticed that Shen Yuan looked a little strange, and added, "My aunt said that my husband and I should go together. It's rare for such a big family to have such a lively time."

Baochai was very observant. When she heard Zhao mention Shen Yuan alone, she naturally understood that it was probably her uncle's thoughts.

After Shen Yuan heard this and combined it with what happened yesterday, he understood.

It turned out that Wang Ziteng wanted to see her, but was too embarrassed to come directly to the Shen Residence, so he went around in a circle and met her at the Jia Residence.

Shen Yuan smiled and said, "Well, I will go there with my wife after leaving the government office tomorrow."

No matter what the other party thinks, he is not opposed to chatting with Wang Ziteng.

Shen Yuan had a hunch that Wang Ziteng's reorganization of the army in the capital might be a rare opportunity, and if planned properly, he might achieve great success.

"Well, thank you for your help, husband." Baochai felt relieved when she saw Shen Yuan agreed. She knew that her husband was always cold to outsiders and especially disliked socializing. But they were relatives after all, so it was not good for her to show too coldness.

Shen Yuan smiled and gently stroked his wife's cheek, saying in a gentle tone: "What trouble is there? Madam, why do you have to say such polite words? You and I are husband and wife, and I will not treat your relatives lightly, otherwise it would be disrespectful to my virtuous wife."

Baochai felt the doting of the boy's fingertips and the tenderness in his words, and her heart was filled with sweetness again. She sat closer and leaned her head into Shen Yuan's arms.

"Husband~" As soon as she buried her head in Shen Yuan's chest, Baochai felt a familiar fragrance coming into her nostrils, and her beautiful face was stunned suddenly.

My husband clearly has the scent of my younger sister Qiu'er?

Shen Yuan could clearly feel the beauty in his arms's face pause and her delicate body tremble. After a moment of silence, he said softly, "There is something I want to tell my wife."

He didn't want to hide it from Baochai anymore, so he continued, "Qiu'er and I."

Shen Yuan briefly recounted the process of how he and Qiu'er got to know each other and fell in love.

He knew that this would inevitably make Baochai feel a little uncomfortable. After all, even the most generous woman would not feel good if she knew that her husband liked other girls.

But these words have to be said. As Shen Yuan's legally married wife, Baochai must know them no matter what.

Shen Yuan knew that this day would come sooner or later. Although he was sentimental, he was not promiscuous. All he could do was to love Baochai more in the future.

Baochai leaned against the young man's arms, listening quietly. There was no emotion on her pretty face, but her heart was filled with mixed feelings.

She knew that no matter from which aspect, her husband was a rare man in the world, and it was normal for girls to like him. She had never thought of monopolizing her husband, but she never thought that this day would come so soon.

Ying'er hasn't even been taken into the house yet, but Qiu'er is already here. Isn't your husband being too anxious?
By the way, sister Qiu'er, I think she fell in love with her husband when she was in Jinling, right?
With such an outstanding martial arts champion and poetry champion, and a handsome face, Sister Qiu'er should have been fascinated by her husband at that time, right?

She should have discovered earlier that the way Qiu'er looked at her husband was somewhat similar to the way she looked at her husband.

Now that she lives in the mansion, she has no doubt that she is really a slow-witted woman.

Is Baochai really slow?
Obviously not.

How could Baochai not become suspicious given her clever personality?
But she felt that how could the only daughter of the Jiang family, the apple of the governor's eye, like a married man? She wouldn't want him to be her concubine, right?
This alone was enough to dispel all of Baochai's doubts, and her husband's meticulous love for her made her unable to be wary.

Besides some jealousy, Baochai was more confused and puzzled.

After a long silence, she finally spoke and whispered, "How do you plan to arrange it, my husband?"

With Sister Qiu'er's status, how could she become a concubine?
There is another possibility, which is to divorce his wife and remarry.

Thinking of this, she quickly denied it. No, her husband would never do this to her. She could clearly feel that her husband loved her deeply, very much.

Shen Yuan hugged the beauty in his arms tightly, put his lips on her forehead, and said softly: "I plan to wait until I have made some achievements in the future, and then ask His Majesty for an imperial decree to grant me marriage, and ask for a royal body for Qiu'er."

Upon hearing this, Baochai fell silent again.

Yes, my husband is such an affectionate man, how could he let sister Qiuer down?
After a moment of silence, Shen Yuan pinched the beautiful lady's nose and whispered in her ear, "Madam is my wife after the three letters and six ceremonies. If you want to be jealous, then be jealous. There is no need to worry about anything. Madam has the right to do so."

Baochai felt her husband's doting again, and her tender words made her face blush. She lowered her eyes slightly and said softly, "My husband, I didn't."

Shen Yuan interrupted, "Madam, don't worry about anything. I like you. You have a little temper, but I like you, too."

The impression Baochai gives him at the moment is that she is dignified, gentle and graceful, and treats people and things in a gentle and warm manner like the breeze.

But humans are emotional animals after all. No matter how calm and peaceful one's temperament is, it is impossible for them to be without emotions. It's just that Baochai is used to restraining and hiding negative emotions.

Shen Yuan also accepted some of his petty tempers, such as jealousy and teasing. Of course, these were only for him. "Husband..." Baochai snorted softly from the side of her nose, trying to be petty.

When Shen Yuan saw Baochai's rare cute look, his heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but lean over and kiss her.

"Uuuuu~"

Accompanied by a few sweet moans, the beautiful woman who had been somewhat passive in the past now seemed more emotional and had a rare response.

The kiss was passionate and long-lasting. As their lips and teeth intertwined, Shen Yuan extended his hand all the way down to the abyss and valley.

After a long moment, they parted lips and embraced each other.

"Madam." Shen Yuan's fingertips were slightly moist, and he whispered in her ear: "No matter what happens in the future, Madam will always be the mistress of this Shen Mansion, and you are the only one in my heart."

Baochai was originally immersed in her shameful mind. Hearing this, her heart was slightly shaken and she said softly, "My husband, I will treat Qiu'er as my sister. We can get along well."

Her husband gave her the most sincere promise, what else could she be dissatisfied with?

After all, she is her husband's legal wife in the true sense, and although her sister Qiu'er will have an imperial decree in the future, there is indeed some difference. As the head wife of the family, she should have the mind of a head wife.

For her, being loved by her husband is the most important thing.

After thinking about these things, Baochai gradually let go.
At this moment, the beauty was feeling the rhythm of the boy's fingertips, her eyes were already seductive, and her watery eyes were filled with a fascinated look.

"Husband, I want—"

"Well, the hot water should be ready, let's go take a bath."

Baochai shook her head lightly and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "You can wash it later."

Seeing the beauty who looked a little different from before, Shen Yuan felt so hot in his heart that he carried her like a princess and carried her to the couch in the inner room.
That night, Baochai was more devoted than ever before.

After exhaustion, he rested for a while and then started again. It was not until midnight when he almost fainted that he gradually stopped.
Shen Yuan could sense that Baochai wanted to release her emotions in this way, so he did not dissuade her and tried his best to cooperate with the rare beauty.

-

The next day, at dawn, the Eastern Crows began to rise.
Shen Yuan woke up slowly, looking at Baochai in his arms, and couldn't help feeling a little pity in his heart.
The beauty still had traces of tears in her eyes, but the spring in her eyes had faded away, and she had returned to her former dignified and graceful appearance.
But the messy black hair on her forehead and the multiple red marks on her neck all showed the endless madness of last night.
Shen Yuan gently helped his wife to smooth her hair to her ears, then he leaned closer and kissed her from her forehead, through the corners of her eyes and her nose, to her lips.

Baochai remained asleep the whole time, and her long eyelashes did not even tremble.

This was the first time Shen Yuan saw his wife sleeping so soundly. She was really tired last night. In the end, she didn't even have the strength to get up and take a shower. She just wiped herself briefly and fell asleep, and has been sleeping until now.

Shen Yuan covered Baochai with a quilt and stood up to put on his clothes.

When I came to the outer room, I saw Ying'er lying on a small single couch, with the thin quilt tilted down, revealing the girl's snow-white shoulders.

Shen Yuan stepped forward, pulled up the quilt and covered Ying'er. Although he tried to be as gentle as possible, he still woke the girl up.

"Uncle~"

Ying'er called softly, raised her hand to rub her sleepy eyes, and was about to get up, but was stopped by Shen Yuan.

"Ying'er, sleep a little longer." Shen Yuan looked at the girl's obvious dark circles and said gently, "Ying'er didn't go back to her room to sleep? Why is she sleeping here?"

"Son-in-law, I... am waiting to serve the young lady." Ying'er said softly.

She had indeed been waiting to help the girl bathe last night, but in the end the girl was unable to move, so she could only help wipe her simply.

Not knowing when the girl would wake up and need a bath, she slept on the small couch in the outer room.

But she kept thinking about the crazy scene between her brother-in-law and the girl, and she didn't fall asleep until very late.

"Madam may need to sleep for a while, so Ying'er should continue sleeping as well." Shen Yuan said, feeling a little strange in his heart.

The crazy behavior of last night was imprinted in the mind of the girl in front of me. Ying'er is really a human video recorder.

"Oh." Ying'er responded and lay down peacefully.

The son-in-law really felt sorry for her and didn't insist on getting up to serve her. She was not much better than his own daughter and was really very sleepy.

……

After Shen Yuan simply washed up and had breakfast, he left the Shen Mansion and went directly to the Military Equipment Bureau to inspect matters related to firearms.

Baochai and Ying'er, the master and servant, did not wake up until the hour of Si.

Ying'er prepared hot water and helped Baochai take a bath.

Looking at the bright red marks all over her body, Baochai's mind kept replaying the madness of last night. She seemed a little unable to believe that the woman whose lower body was twisting constantly was herself.

uh~
Baochai covered her face shyly and immersed her lips in the water, leaving only her nose exposed and breathing softly, not daring to think about what happened last night.

Ying'er was serving beside her, so she naturally saw the red marks on the girl's skin, and her imagination ran wild for a moment...

After taking a bath, Baochai felt her limp body regain some strength. Ying'er helped her dry herself, and she put on a high-necked dress that barely covered the red marks on her neck. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

From beginning to end, Baochai and Ying'er didn't say a few words, for no other reason than that what happened last night really made the two girls too embarrassed to speak.

At noon, Baochai invited Qiu'er to come to her room to have lunch together, and Ying'er also sat with them.

Ever since Ying'er was confirmed as a concubine, Baochai has treated Ying'er as her younger sister. However, this girl was stubborn and served Baochai most of the time. Only under Baochai's strong request did Ying'er agree to eat at the same table with her.

At this time, all the people sitting in the room were Shen Yuan's women, so there was no need to hide anything. Baochai took Qiu'er's hand and said softly, "From now on, we will be a family. Sister, please serve your husband with me. From now on, this will also be your home."

Qiu Er was slightly startled when she heard this, and then her heart trembled, her face looked a little unnatural, and she said softly: "Sister Bao, I..."

I wanted to say something, but I couldn't. Perhaps I was not mentally prepared to face Baochai.

Indeed, she had not expected that Shen Lang would tell Baochai about their relationship so soon.

No matter what, she was a latecomer and took away some of Shen Yuan's feelings from Baochai. Qiu'er felt a little guilty about this.

Baochai could understand Qiu'er's thoughts. Before she met Shen Yuan, the two of them were already good friends.

Baochai stroked the back of Qiu'er's hand and said in a gentle voice, "It's no wonder that my sister would like such an outstanding man like you."

"My husband said he would ask for a title for me. Before that, I have wronged you." Baochai said sincerely, "Now that the relationship has been confirmed, you will be the master of this house in the future. Let's help my husband take care of this family together."
