The splendor of the Red Chamber, the power that reigns supreme.

Chapter 29 First Encounter with Pan Jinlian

As she spoke, she quickly glanced at Ximen Qing and Commander He's expressions out of the corner of her eye.

She was certain that her bait would work.

Especially when it comes to her "rarely seen" naturally formed golden lotus feet, it would surely make Ximen Qing, the notorious "lustful devil," gleam with desire, and even make He Qianhu, the military man, drool with envy!

If they show even the slightest interest, her wicked plan to "kill two warriors with one peach" will be half successful!
However, what suddenly sank into her heart was—

After hearing her words, He Qianhu's eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly, but his dark face remained expressionless.

He seemed to be listening to some trivial business, showing no trace of longing for the "beauty".

What surprised and distrusted her even more was Ximen Qing!

This number one lecherous fiend in Qinghe County was simply waving his gold-flecked fan calmly, his eyes expressionless.

Yu's heart skipped a beat.

He then gave a cold laugh.

Those two old bastards are pretending to be true gentlemen!

I bother!

These filthy men, outwardly respectable but inwardly depraved!

Don't be fooled by your current airs of being officials and respectable people; just wait and see how you'll fight over this!

Ever since that vixen woman entered the house, that old man, Zhang the landlord, has been completely captivated by her.

If I hadn't kept a close eye on things, my old man would probably have already drunk the first soup of that vixen.

snort!
I'll see how long you can keep up this act! Once you see that little slut's true face, let's see if you can still hold back!
She shouted loudly at the group of maids kneeling in the courtyard, "Where is Jinlian? Come here immediately to see the two masters!"

Golden Lotus?

Pan Jinlian?
Is she here?

Ximen Da Guanren was startled and turned around to look.

But then a young girl dressed in coarse cloth, with her head down and a slender, graceful figure, stood up timidly and walked over.

She was clearly terrified by the scene, her slight movements revealing a trembling fear.

She was petite and looked quite pitiful.

Especially when she moved with light, graceful steps, a pair of small feet, barely visible beneath her skirt, were clad in satin flat embroidered shoes, the tips of which were adorned with tiny pearls.
Indeed, it is small and exquisite. It is not that it is actually only three inches long, but it is definitely small enough to fit in one hand!
The soft satin on the shoe upper clung tightly to the instep.

The toes of the shoes are slightly upturned, highlighting the slender and beautiful shape of the feet with a stunning curve.

the strange thing is.

They were clearly a pair of slender and beautiful feet.

But you can see the plumpness of the fleshy mound on the instep, which stretches the satin so smooth and shiny that there is not a single wrinkle. Even through the satin, you can feel the soft and boneless bouncyness of the little foot.

The ten toes, like jade shoots, were pressed tightly together, creating several small, pointed but full bumps at the tips of the shoes.

The outlines of the toes are clearly visible, each one plump and ready to burst forth from the satin.

Just as Mr. Yu said, it is as sharp as a spring bamboo shoot and as slender as a water chestnut!

As she walked, her skirt swayed slightly, revealing glimpses of her jade-like feet. A tiny pearl on the tip of her shoe trembled precariously, exuding a captivating and alluring charm.

She had a slender waist but a full chest.

She had the lithe figure of a young girl, but the plumpness of a woman.

She was indeed a 'little woman'.

As they walk, they sway like willows in the wind, graceful and charming, exuding endless elegance!
She walked into the front hall with her head down, only to hear a soft cry of "Oh dear!", as if a tender willow branch had suddenly bent in the wind.

She slumped limply towards Master Ximen.

Ximen Da Guanren instinctively reached out his hands to support her.

A truly warm and soft body of flesh collided with my arms.

Looking down, he saw the 'young woman' dressed as a maid was lying on his chest, panting.

His body, wrapped in a coarse cloth shirt, trembled with a fleshy, bouncy physique. A sweet, sweaty scent emanated from the white collar of his shirt.

Ximen Da Guanren was genuinely taken aback as he was supported by the hand.

No wonder she looks like a plump woman when she's clearly a thin young girl.

It's simply because this little woman has a really small frame.

With a single grip, the flesh of his arm was squeezed in his palm through the coarse cloth.

It was like a freshly steamed dough ball, so smooth and slippery it seemed to melt in your mouth.

It's as if it has no bones.

If the arms are like this, you can imagine what the feet are like; what about the whole body?

But then the girl timidly raised her head.

In an instant, the room was filled with light!

She had an oval face, fair and radiant, like freshly peeled chicken head meat.

Two thin, curved willow-leaf eyebrows, seemingly furrowed but not quite.

Her almond-shaped eyes, watery and dark, now held a look of fear, making her even more pitiful and charming.

She had a small, straight nose, a cherry-like mouth with full, rosy lips that were slightly parted, revealing a hint of her pearly white teeth.

She truly has exquisite features and radiates beauty!

She was already on par with Qin Keqing.

Ximen Qing and Commander He's gazes were drawn to her as if by a magnet, fixed on her face as beautiful as peach blossoms and her captivating golden lotus feet, unable to look away even for a moment!

The hall fell silent for a moment.

Looking at the two men's greedy, drooling expressions, as if they wanted to devour her whole, Madam Yu felt extremely smug: Fight! Snatch! For this femme fatale, you two should fight like dogs! It would be best if you fought until you were both severely injured!
Pan Jinlian was a restless vixen, ambitious and ruthless. Keeping her in the mansion would only bring trouble sooner or later! She had already been betrothed to Wu Dalang, a pancake seller in the city.

Offering it up now would not only solve the immediate crisis, but also sow the seeds of jealousy and rivalry between Ximen Qing and Commander He.

Kill two birds with one stone!
Thinking of this, Madam Yu added fuel to the fire, saying, "This girl... Pan Jinlian, was originally the daughter of Pan the tailor outside the South Gate. When Pan the tailor died, her mother struggled to make ends meet, so she sold her to Wang Zhaoxuan's mansion to learn to play musical instruments and sing."

"But she was exceptionally intelligent, skilled at playing the pipa, singing, and possessing beautiful calligraphy and excellent accounting skills! Especially... especially her looks and figure, which were unparalleled! Later, Wang Zhaoxuan died young, and his wife, unable to tolerate her, sold her off. My master... spent thirty taels of silver to buy her into the household. He originally planned... to fatten her up and take her as a concubine, to have a son to carry on the family line."

"However, my lords, rest assured, Pan Jinlian is still a pure and innocent woman. I am so jealous that I have never let my husband touch a single hair of hers."

After saying this, Yu's shoulders shrugged, feigning sorrow.

A sense of triumph churned within him, and he eagerly awaited the day when Ximen Qing and Commander He would vie for the affections of this stunningly beautiful, unmarried woman.

It would be best to have a heated argument and a complete break, only then would it suit one's own taste!

The hall fell silent for a moment, with only Pan Jinlian's panicked gasps audible.

All eyes were on Ximen Qing and He Qianhu.

Ximen Da Guanren smiled slightly and was about to speak.

Unexpectedly, Commander He spoke first.

He Qianhu frowned, and his face showed not a trace of covetousness, but rather a sense of disgust.

He smacked his lips and waved his hand dismissively:
“Master Ximen, you should keep this young lady.”

He spoke of it casually, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

Yu was dumbfounded! His mouth hung open and he was speechless.

His eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight!
She had calculated everything, knowing that Ximen Qing was lustful and that all men were fond of such things, but she never expected that Commander He would treat her like trash and give her away so easily!

What's going on here?
She stammered, trying to persuade him further: "Lord He... this girl Jinlian... she's still a virgin!"

"Born with inner charm, she learns all the bedroom tricks quickly!"

"Lord He...you...really don't want it?"
