Lian Erye in the Red Mansion

"Oh, really? Perhaps your older sister is overestimating me. I think I'm quite ordinary."

"Hehehe..."

Sister You chuckled. Perhaps it was Jia Lian's responsiveness that made her think he was a very easy person to talk to.

Therefore, she became bolder and gently wrapped her arms around Jia Lian's neck. She leaned close to Jia Lian's ear and said with a charming smile, "I agree with my eldest sister's words, especially my second sister, who is even more so."

Ever since I came here and saw Brother Lian, my second sister has been so worried about you that she can't eat or sleep, and she talks about you all the time. I even scolded her for being useless...

The girl's refreshing scent reached his ears, and even though Jia Lian knew she was deliberately flirting with him, he couldn't help but feel a touch of romantic longing.

In particular, the girl's delicate arms and the occasional sweet scent that brushed against his back made him unable to resist having some fantasies.

After thinking it over carefully, Jia Lian realized that he couldn't be blamed.

If a woman of equal beauty were to tempt him, he would be absolutely unmoved.

But this Third Sister You was an exception.

Jia Lian naturally remembered that You Sanjie's breasts, like Xue Baochai's arms, were things that every man who had read the original novel remembered vividly.

Unfortunately, it seems that because Sister You San is still a bit young, her influence is not yet significant.

Therefore, Jia Lian soon averted his senses and replied with a smile, "Oh, really? And what about you?"

"I... of course I can't be like her."

She was always poised and confident when talking about others, but the moment the focus shifted to herself, even Sister You would immediately start stammering.

Then she realized that she was so shameless that she was practically pressed against Jia Lian.

Actually, she and Jia Lian had only met a few times and hadn't spoken much, so they weren't particularly close...

She instinctively wanted to step back a little, but unexpectedly, her hands, which were clasped together on Jia Lian's chest, were suddenly grabbed by Jia Lian.

"Really different? Why do I get the feeling that you're more anxious than your sister?"

This was the first time Jia Lian had given a direct response, which made You Sanjie's heart tighten. While feeling ashamed and nervous, she couldn't help but think to herself: She's finally taken the bait!

She pretended to pull her hand away, but when she realized she couldn't, she gave up. Instead, she gracefully sat on Jia Lian's lap and said in a coquettish voice, "Oh, really? Then you must be mistaken."

They just wanted to help their sister fulfill her wish.

What do you think? My sister is quite beautiful, isn't she? She's got both looks and figure. Why don't you marry her, Second Brother Lian?

We don't want you to divorce your wife and marry another, just be her a concubine, you won't lose out, will you?

Inside the room, seeing her younger sister's increasingly shameless behavior and hearing her faint voices, Second Sister You felt she could no longer face anyone.

But a sense of anticipation began to stir within me; perhaps my sister really could help me achieve my wish...

So he leaned against the door and hid inside, quietly eavesdropping.

"Indeed, we didn't lose out," Jia Lian replied with a thoughtful smile.

This woman is indeed quite cunning.

Despite her provocative actions and unrestrained words, she was certain that her older sister and mother were secretly watching her, and that she wouldn't suffer any major losses, hence her fearlessness.

Furthermore, if it were a man with even a little lust, he might have been tempted by her in this way and dared to make a promise to give up his entire fortune, let alone just take her sister as a concubine.

Have you not heard of a younger sister sitting in a man's lap, working for her older sister's happiness?

It's clear that this woman, though young, is very adept at understanding men's thoughts.

Sister You's eyes lit up. "So, Brother Lian has agreed?"

Sister You was secretly pleased. "Look at her, so timid and hesitant, she can't even seize an opportunity. When will she ever get what she wants?"

I still had to take matters into my own hands, and I got the job done for her in no time.

Although I sacrificed some of my looks, who cares? Anyway, we'll all be family in the future, so it's not like I lost out.

Unexpectedly, Jia Lian looked down at her, making her a little embarrassed, before saying, "Why don't you come with your sister and keep her company?"

You Sanjie understood perfectly well what was going on. She immediately glared at Jia Lian and scolded, "You're so greedy!"

"If I weren't greedy, wouldn't all the effort you've put in today have been wasted?"

Jia Lian chuckled.

Sister You had her own plans, and she wasn't one to be led by the nose.

Anyway, he's unlikely to suffer any loss.

He wanted to see just how much this old woman trusted him, that she dared to leave her two beautiful daughters right under his nose without any regard for them.

Aren't you afraid he'll take advantage of you and then deny everything?

"Cough cough..."

Amidst a coughing sound in the corridor, You Sanjie immediately jumped up from Jia Lian's arms and stood to the side.

"Hehehe, I'm getting old, my memory isn't what it used to be. I almost forgot about the things I put out just the other day. I've kept you waiting."

Old Lady You walked in with a smile. She noticed that only Third Sister You was in the room and Second Sister You was not. She didn't mind, but pretended to scold her: "Third Sister, why are you standing here? Didn't I tell you to take good care of your Second Brother Lian?"

Look, the water in their teacups is all gone, and you don't even refill them.

Sister You pouted and said, "I originally asked my sister to add more, but he wasn't satisfied and insisted that both my sister and I help him. Humph, I don't know where he gets such a big appetite, isn't he afraid of overeating..."

As she spoke, Sister You glared fiercely at Jia Lian.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you brat?"

Old Lady You scolded Third Sister You, then smiled at Jia Lian and said, "Master, don't take it to heart. I've spoiled her rotten. She has no manners at all. When her eldest sister comes back, I'll definitely have her teach her a lesson."

Jia Lian smiled silently, then stood up and took the package from Old Madam You before saying with a smile, "Grandma, don't wrong her. She's very polite. In short, I like her very much."

Since the You family members were all so straightforward, Jia Lian didn't mince words and directly uttered a statement that would arouse suspicion.

Old Lady You was a little stunned. What? Could it be that this Second Master Lian didn't take a liking to Second Sister, but instead took a liking to Third Sister?

Glancing at Sister You, whose face was flushed and who was glaring at Jia Lian, Old Lady You suppressed her doubts and laughed, "Hehe, that's her good fortune."

"Oh, right, sir, you haven't had lunch yet, have you? Why don't you eat here before going back..."

Jia Lian shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, Madam, but I have other matters to attend to, so I won't bother you any longer. I'll take my leave now."

Jia Lian bowed to Old Lady You, nodded to Third Sister You and Second Sister You who also came out from the inner room, and then left.

"What exactly happened?"

After Jia Lian left, Old Lady You called her two daughters to sit down in front of her before asking them questions.

Second Sister You's face was flushed. She glanced at Third Sister You but had nothing to say.

You Sanjie said indignantly, "Mother even asked! This Jia Lian is no good person at all. He actually wants us sisters to be his concubines!"

Old Lady You was slightly taken aback, then her gaze swept back and forth between her two daughters before she nodded.

Seeing this, Sister You Er and Sister You San were speechless. What did their mother mean by this...?
