Lian Erye in the Red Mansion

"Hehehe, Second Uncle, would you like to drink the porridge that someone cooked themselves, or eat the snacks that Grandma sent over...?"

After Lady You left, Lady Qin's expression softened somewhat. She quietly sat down next to Jia Lian, her gaze carrying a hint of threat.

"Ahem, well, how about some porridge? Porridge is better for your stomach at night."

Jia Lian was ashamed; he hadn't expected that Qin Shi would be jealous of You Shi.

In this situation, it was natural to go along with her wishes, after all, Madam You was much more sensible than her.

"Alright then, I'll take care of Uncle."

Upon hearing the satisfactory reply, Qin's smile broadened, and she immediately picked up the small bowl of porridge she had painstakingly prepared, came to Jia Lian, and personally fed him.

Over the past month, although Jia Lian has frequently visited the mansion, he has had very little time to speak with her.

She had been secretly watching for a long time tonight before finally getting this opportunity.

Unexpectedly, my awful mother-in-law beat me to it!

The beauty was so attentive, Jia Lian naturally wouldn't let her down. He ate a few mouthfuls of warm porridge with the spoon that seemed to have softened considerably in her hands.

I must say, it tastes great. The lotus seeds must have been freshly picked this year. Paired with the beauty's thoughtfulness, it's truly delicious.

Jia Lian showed an expression of enjoyment, which made Qin Shi feel pleased as well, so her movements became even gentler and her expression even happier.

Jia Lian suddenly grasped her hand and said with a smile, "Such delicious porridge shouldn't be eaten by myself. Why not share it with my beauty?"

Madam Qin smiled and said, "My beauty isn't hungry, so Uncle should eat."

Jia Lian refused to comply, snatched the jade bowl from her hand, and placed it on his lap, just like You Shi had done at the beginning.

Qin blushed.

She glanced at the quiet doorway. Luckily, she had come prepared and hadn't brought any servants.

As for her mother-in-law's people, she should have already taken them with her...

In this uncertain and unsafe environment, Qin Shi felt tense and numb, unable to resist, especially given her close and ambiguous relationship with Jia Lian.

She only relaxed when Jia Lian scooped a spoonful of porridge into her mouth in his own way. She parted her red lips slightly, held the tip of the spoon in her mouth, and, with Jia Lian's help, sucked the porridge into her small mouth.

so sweet.

Qin felt that this was the most delicious porridge she had ever eaten in her life, and it was even made by her own hands!

A happy smile appeared on Qin's face, but Jia Lian was captivated by the sight of Qin's lips slightly parted just now.

Observing Qin's face up close, one can indeed vaguely see Daiyu's lively and graceful demeanor and Baochai's beautiful and radiant appearance.

Jia Lian never doubted that Baochai and Daiyu would grow up to be stunningly beautiful.

But that was in the future; right now, there truly was a stunningly beautiful woman, possessing the beauty of both of them, sitting in his lap.

Jia Lian felt that even if he had an iron body, he couldn't remain unmoved at this moment.

Qin's face turned red again.

She rolled her eyes at Jia Lian, shifted her hips, and said coquettishly, "You naughty thing~"

In fact, Qin Shi had already noticed Jia Lian's unusual behavior the moment she sat down.

She had been too embarrassed to point it out before, but now she realized that it was probably thanks to Lady You. Therefore, her coquettish gaze gradually turned unfriendly as she stared directly at Jia Lian.

Unfortunately, Jia Lian was in no mood to play riddles with her at that moment.

Jia Lian put the bowl of porridge aside, then pulled her into his arms. Before he could even savor the fragrant embrace, he began to search for the beautiful woman's lips...

After a long while, noticing that the beauty in his arms was struggling more, Jia Lian then took two deep bites and released her.

Call ~

Suddenly free, Qin Shi rested her slender, soft hands on Jia Lian's chest, her hazy eyes gazing at him with a tender, loving, and seemingly both reproachful and willing look.

Finally, her hand went limp, and she gently nestled against Jia Lian's chest, panting softly.

Jia Lian knew this was not a place for reckless behavior, so after a brief taste, he didn't go any further. He gently stroked the beauty's back, enjoying the exquisite beauty of her body.

After a while, he suddenly heard a sobbing sound from his arms. Jia Lian was surprised. He took Qin Shi's fragrant shoulder and helped her up. He saw that Qin Shi's eyes were filled with warm tears and her face was full of sorrow.

"What's wrong?" Jia Lian blurted out.

Qin glanced at him and complained, "My second uncle hasn't come to see me for a month. People thought he had given up on me."

Jia Lian was slightly speechless. That's it?

Do you understand the saying, "Endure temporary suffering for a hundred days of joy"?

Seemingly realizing that her words and actions were not convincing enough, Qin continued to sob, "Second Uncle, do you not know that I am now a person hated by everyone? They all say that I am a vixen who harms people."

"If it weren't for me, the Ningguo Mansion wouldn't be in this state today..."

Upon hearing Qin's words, Jia Lian was startled. Before dealing with Jia Zhen, he had considered how to appease and protect Qin.

After all, Qin was a weak woman, not as strong as You.

But seeing that she had been doing well lately, Jia Lian gradually forgot about it.

A woman's reputation is her second life.

On that day in the family council hall, some people bluntly suggested kicking Qin out of Ningguo Mansion, not to mention how many people criticized her in private.

Jia Lian was even puzzled as to how Qin Shi had managed to resist all the criticism and maintain such a good condition for the past month. He certainly remembered that when it was just a rumor that Jia Zhen was coveting her, Qin Shi had been ill for more than half a year!

"Second Uncle, do you know how painful it was to hear them say those things?"

If it weren't for the fact that she still cared about her second uncle, she would have wanted to die right then and there...

Qin said quietly.

On the very day Jia Zhen died, Jia Lian invited her to Tianxiang Tower. In You Shi's dressing room, Jia Lian took advantage of her openly for the first time, saying that he would help her to teach Jia Zhen a lesson and prevent him from acting recklessly.

Although she later learned that Jia Lian had lied to her, and although she didn't quite understand what had happened that night or why Jia Lian wanted to kill Jia Zhen, she didn't hesitate to choose to stand by Jia Lian's side.

She wanted to keep Jia Lian's secret.

Then, Jia Lian dragged her into the dark room again, showing his strong possessiveness towards her.

She was secretly delighted, guessing that Jia Lian probably didn't know that she was still a virgin.

She was eager to know how Jia Lian would react when he found out she was still clean!

It was precisely because of these expectations that she was able to ignore the distractions from the outside world and stay in the Ningguo Mansion, waiting for Jia Lian to meet her again after dusk...

Unfortunately, I never had the chance.

Therefore, when she was intimate with Jia Lian again today, her emotions erupted slightly. She wanted Jia Lian to know her grievances.

Noticing that Jia Lian's arms tightened suddenly, even making her feel a little pain, she frowned slightly, but her heart immediately filled with joy.

Sure enough, he cared about her.

But why doesn't he come to find her?

Thinking of this, Qin Shi sat up again and looked at Jia Lian: "Hmph, Second Uncle, don't pretend you don't speak. I want to ask you, what is it about her that she doesn't compare to Mother-in-law? You care so much about Mother-in-law, but you're not willing to talk to her at all?"

The eighteen-year-old beauty's question made Jia Lian laugh. He hugged her and laughed, "Nonsense, nothing like that. My sister-in-law and I are completely innocent."

"Completely innocent?"

Qin stared wide-eyed at Jia Lian in disbelief.

He's already been caught red-handed, so why would he dare to lie?

The beauty was shocked, her appearance adorable. Jia Lian couldn't help but touch her beautiful face and said with a smile, "Alright, stop thinking nonsense."

You are no less beautiful than anyone else in any way. In my heart, you are the most beautiful woman in the world.

I was wrong before; I didn't consider your situation. But don't worry, with me here, no one can do anything to you.

If the servants are disrespectful to you, I'm sure your sister-in-law can handle it. If it's someone else, tell me, and I'll deal with it.

When Qin heard Jia Lian say that she was the most beautiful woman in the world, all her unpleasantness vanished instantly.

She nodded: "Actually, it's nothing. I stay at home every day and don't go anywhere, so no one can say anything about me."

However, with my second uncle's words, if anyone insults me, I'll send someone to complain. Uncle, you can't go back on your word then.

Jia Lian smiled slightly. In truth, Qin Shi didn't need his protection at all. Even if she caused trouble every day, no one dared to do anything to her.

Thinking about this, Jia Lian even considered simply executing Qin Shi on the spot. After all, given her status, even if the matter were exposed, no one would dare do anything to her…

No sooner had he made a move than Madam Qin gracefully stood up, glanced at his inner thigh, chuckled, and prepared to run away.

She had only taken two steps when she returned, circled halfway around Jia Lian's chair, and while massaging his shoulders, asked, "By the way, Second Uncle won't be leaving the capital for a while longer, right?"

"yes……"

"So, Uncle will be going to the funeral tomorrow, right?"

"Of course, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly wanted to go up to the roof to look at the moon again, but I was worried that I still wouldn't be able to climb the wooden ladder."

Will Uncle be able to help me this time?

Jia Lian's heart skipped a beat, and he climbed the ladder...

He immediately recalled that night on the roof of the Iron Threshold Temple, Qin Shi and Xiang Ling, two beauties, one big and one small, kept him company as he admired the moon in the middle of the night.

At that time, Qin was embarrassed because of climbing the ladder.

Could it be that Qin said this at this moment...?

Jia Lian turned to look at the beauty.

"Hehe, it's settled then. Don't go back on your word. Maybe they'll give Uncle a surprise later."

Qin spoke the last half of her sentence in a very soft voice. After saying it, she didn't care whether Jia Lian heard her or not. She gave Jia Lian a flirtatious look and then drifted away.

She was carefree, but she made Jia Lian even more uncomfortable.

A stunningly beautiful woman invites you to admire the moon, promising a surprise? Any man would be irresistibly aroused.
