The Red Mansion in its bustling glory

Jiao Da was pulled away, and Jia Rong looked somewhat embarrassed.

He said to Jia Jue, "He starts talking nonsense after drinking, don't take it to heart."

Jia Jue also laughed at Jia Rong, saying, "I know, it's all nonsense."

When Jia Rong heard Jia Jue say this, he laughed and said, "That's absolutely right, that's absolutely right, he's always talking nonsense."

The two chatted for a while longer before heading back.

After Jiao Da's commotion, Wang Xifeng lost interest in staying there and pulled Baoyu to go back together.

Baoyu naturally refused. He had just met Qin Zhong, so how could he not have a proper chat with him?

However, she ultimately did not stay. She made a promise with Qin Zhong to go to school together before giving up and going back.

Because Qin Keqing was still unwell, Wang Xifeng did not allow her to come out to see her off; only You Shi saw Wang Xifeng to the door.

Just as the group of people came out, another figure entered Qin Keqing's boudoir.

Who is this person?

It was Jia Zhen!

Upon seeing Jia Zhen approach, Ke Qing forced herself to stand up. Before she could even curtsy, Jia Zhen grabbed her arm and said, "Ke Qing, why be so polite? You're not feeling well, so please sit down quickly."

As he spoke, he pulled Qin Keqing to sit down slowly.

He added, "Don't worry, we will definitely invite the best doctors to come."

As Qin Keqing listened to Jia Zhen's words and felt his restless, withered, and disgusting hands, she felt a deep sorrow and grief in her heart.

Jia Zhen said he would invite a famous doctor to treat her, but she was filled with despair and even longed for her death.

While Jia Zhen was talking to Ke Qing, Jia Rong had just sent Jia Jue back and was about to return to his room when he saw the servant boy who usually served his father sitting idly on the steps outside his room.

Jia Rong immediately understood what had happened inside the room.

His eyes darted around, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Then it went to other places.

where to go?

They went to Lady You's boudoir.

As for Lady You, although she was nominally Jia Zhen's wife and Jia Rong's mother, she was ultimately a second wife, and she was also very beautiful. Although she was a bit older now, she still retained her charm. Before Jia Rong was married, he was somewhat attracted to Lady You, but he often didn't have the opportunity and was also afraid of Jia Zhen's power.

However, after Jia Zhen forcibly took Ke Qing as his own, You Shi was gradually neglected.

She was at the prime of her life, and although she initially resisted Jia Rong, she eventually succumbed to his silver tongue.

Thus, when Jia Zhen went to see Qin Keqing, Jia Rong would go to see You Shi, and when Jia Zhen went to see You Shi, Jia Rong would go to see Keqing again.

The father and son were actually eating from the same pot of soup.

Therefore, when Jia Zhen arrived at his room, Jia Rong also leisurely came over and went to You Shi's boudoir, where he flirted and teased her, arousing her tender feelings.

However, just as the two were getting intimate, they heard the maid who was guarding the wind outside rush in to tell them—the master has arrived!

These four words startled Jia Rong so much that he trembled all over and hurriedly jumped out of the window.

Jia Rong jumped out of the window and ran away. You Shi hurriedly cleaned the room. Jia Zhen then pushed open the door and entered, sighing as soon as he stepped inside, "Alas—what should we do about Rong's wife's illness?"

Madam You smiled and said, "As the saying goes, 'Heaven never seals off all paths,' and 'Things will work themselves out in the end.' We are not ordinary people who cannot afford doctors. So what if the consultation fee is a thousand taels of silver? We can still afford to get treatment."

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhen also said, "If that's the case, then that would be wonderful!"

Having said that, he looked at You Shi again and saw that her cheeks were rosy, her body was slightly panting, her skin was snow-white, and her demeanor was alluring. The desire that Jia Zhen had not been able to arouse with Ke Qing suddenly arose. He smiled and took You Shi's hand, saying, "You and I have been husband and wife for some time now."

At this moment, Madam You lowered her head shyly and only managed to utter a soft "Mmm" from her throat.

Jia Zhen seized the opportunity, loosened his clothes, and charged into the flock of sheep like a wolf.

......

Meanwhile, Jia Rong, having climbed out of You Shi's window, was still in shock.

After he calmed down, he went to his room.

Upon entering the room, they found Keqing sitting sideways on the couch, looking tired, yet possessing an even more alluring charm.

Just like his father, Jia Rong was filled with a sudden surge of lust, and he reached out and embraced Ke Qing.

Suddenly, Ke Qing felt a tightness around her. She opened her eyes and saw that it was Jia Rong. Two streams of tears welled up in her eyes, and she threw herself into his arms, crying, "Rong-ge'er, when will we be able to get out of this hellhole?"

Jia Rong gently patted her back, offering words of comfort, but Ke Qing continued to weep.

Why?

Because Keqing also knew that Jia Rong was unable to change his current situation.

Such a chaotic, rude, and morally bankrupt life was almost unbearable for Keqing.

Just as Ke Qing was crying, a maid came to report that Jia Qiang had arrived.

However, when Keqing heard the name "Jia Qiang", she trembled all over, terrified beyond recognition.

Why?

It turned out that Jia Qiang had long harbored lustful thoughts towards his sister-in-law because of her beauty.

That day, after seeing Jia Zhen force himself on Qin Keqing, knowing that Qin Keqing was gentle and easily bullied and that he could easily get her with just a little effort, he took advantage of the absence of Jia Zhen and Jia Rong and secretly forced himself on Qin Keqing.

This matter remains a nightmare for Qin Keqing.

Now that she heard that Jia Qiang had arrived, she was naturally afraid.

But Jia Rong didn't know about this?

He certainly knew that.

He and Jia Qiang grew up together and went to school together since they were little, how could he not know?

Jia Rong simply didn't care.

Why don't you care?

Even Jia Qiang is fond of Jia Rong!

Back when the two of them went to school together, how many male homosexual relationships were there among the clan?

At this moment, Jia Qiang entered and saw Ke Qing's exquisite beauty. He was also itching to enter her heart, but he couldn't show it because Jia Rong was there.

Jia Rong, of course, understood Jia Qiang's intention, so he pulled Jia Qiang into his arms and said with a smile, "How about the three of us have a big mixed stew today?"

As he spoke, he disregarded Keqing's panic and resistance, and began to take off his clothes.

Jia Qiang was naturally delighted. He was the kind of person who enjoyed himself from both sides, so how could he not be excited to be able to have fun with both of them?

Only Keqing looked pale and as if she were about to die.

But it was precisely because of her soft demeanor, gentle figure, and timid personality that everyone bullied her.

This is exactly what Jia Baoyu saw in the Land of Illusion: "Love in the heavens and seas, love in the body; where love meets, lust is inevitable."

This also foreshadows a line that Liu Xianglian will soon blurt out: "Of all the buildings in Ningguo Mansion, only the pair of stone lions at the entrance are clean."
