Lian Erye in the Red Mansion

Her hot skin pressed against the silky blue quilt, making Baochai feel a slight coolness on her back.

But this did nothing to alleviate the heat and tension in her heart at that moment.

She had no idea why she was being so bold today, repeatedly doing things that defied social norms.

Now that things had come to this, she had no time to think too much. She could only look at Jia Lian, her face flushed and her breathing rapid, as he placed her on the bed and then stopped moving, his gaze lingering on her body.

Baochai was unaware that Jia Lian was just as excited and nervous as she was at that moment.

Jia Lian never imagined that Baochai, whom he had longed to have a kiss with, would be completely won over today in such a way!

After all, even though Daiyu seemed easy to fool and bully, it took him more than a year and countless schemes and efforts after their engagement before he was finally able to catch a glimpse of her beautiful figure last night.

As a result, he was brutally beaten by the other party in a fit of rage.

Baochai, on the other hand, was a very shrewd and difficult-to-deceive woman. Even after she was engaged to him, she still refused to cross any boundaries with him.

This cold and aloof beauty, so unapproachable, was now lying perfectly intact before him, ready to be taken at his mercy.

This is unreal.

It can only be said that there are indeed many times when things turn out for the best by accident.

He was initially furious about Aunt Xue's outburst today, but now he has no anger left at all.

Although Baochai's body was still covered by a close-fitting bodice, preventing a full view, the glimpses of her delicate arms, shoulders, and slender waist revealed beneath were enough to leave Jia Lian breathless and mesmerized!

A fairy-like beauty?

What kind of word is it?

Perhaps many beautiful women with outstanding looks can be associated with this word.

But no one, at least Jia Lian had never seen, could fit the word better than Baochai.

Even the peerless beauty Lin Daiyu cannot compare in this respect.

This is Baochai at sixteen!

If Jia Lian had to find a word to describe her, it would only be "a beauty that rivals the heavens."

With skin as white as snow, fair skin is definitely the most direct impression Baochai gives people.

With her radiant skin and plump figure, Baochai was clearly another of the most striking features.

Jia Lian felt that Baochai possessed both of these characteristics to their fullest extent.

A beautiful woman who is fairer than Baochai might appear somewhat unhealthy. But if she is not as fair, she will blend into the crowd of other beauties.

Similarly, Baochai's plump beauty is also like that.

Jia Lian could see that Baochai's plumpness came from Aunt Xue, but she evolved it to a perfect degree based on Aunt Xue's foundation.

Although she appeared to have plenty of flesh, she didn't look fat at all. Upon closer inspection, Jia Lian realized that Baochai's delicate body was also quite "thin".

This thinness is not quite the same as Daiyu's thinness.

Daiyu's body was smaller than others in terms of horizontal dimensions and her body thickness was also much less than that of ordinary people, thus giving people the feeling of a beautiful lamp.

However, Baochai was different. Baochai's frame and height were more generous than those of ordinary beauties. The reason why she still looked stunning without the slightest bit bloated was that Baochai's body was not thicker than other beauties, and was even thinner.

Especially in the areas that should be thin, such as her shoulders and waist, Jia Lian secretly compared them and found that she was almost as thin as Daiyu!

It is precisely because of these physical characteristics that Baochai appears plump when dressed and slender when undressed.

Jia Lian usually disliked using vulgar language to describe a beauty like Baochai, but at this moment he had to admit that Baochai's plumpness was the epitome of the perfect balance—not too plump, not too thin.

Its perfect symmetry is nothing short of perfect.

Jia Lian couldn't help but imagine that if all the beauties in the world were molded according to Baochai's standards, he wondered how many men would break their backs from exhaustion!

Jia Lian admired Baochai's ethereal beauty and remained motionless for a long time, which made Baochai somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

"Brother Lian Er~!"

The beauty's reproachful voice brought Jia Lian back to his senses, and he sighed, "I'm sorry, Chai'er, you are too beautiful, simply beyond compare, making it impossible for your second brother, Lian, to touch you."

Despite her inner nervousness and shyness, Baochai couldn't help but feel secretly pleased when she heard Jia Lian's praise. She just scolded him playfully, "You smooth talker. Is this how you got Lin's body?"

Uh……

Jia Lian felt that Baochai might have misunderstood something.

But at this moment, Jia Lian wisely kept quiet.

"You...you'd better hurry up, this is my house, it wouldn't be good if my mother came..."

Baochai quickly said this and immediately closed her eyes tightly.

This reminded Jia Lian that this was, after all, the Xue family home. Although he had people guarding outside, if Aunt Xue called out from outside, Baochai would definitely kick him off the bed.

So Jia Lian didn't delay any longer and simply took off Baochai's pair of embroidered shoes, revealing a pair of jade feet wrapped in silk stockings.

At another time, Jia Lian would have removed the silk stockings immediately. But at this moment, compared to Baochai's jade feet, Jia Lian was more interested in admiring the beauty on her body.

Therefore, Jia Lian put Baochai's legs down, casually kicked off his boots, turned over and got onto the bed, straddling Baochai just as he had done to Daiyu the night before.

Looking at Baochai's originally fair face, now as red as a rose, Jia Lian smiled slightly and wanted to bend down to untie the ribbon hidden behind Baochai's back.

Suddenly remembering something, he sat up straight, stared at Baochai's bodice for a long time, and then reached out and grabbed the yellow silk, pulling it back forcefully.

As expected, the TV series didn't lie...

Jia Lian's sudden rough movements and the feeling of the ribbon forcefully scraping against her skin made Baochai open her eyes.

She immediately covered her chest with both hands and looked at Jia Lian with eyes as red as the sunset.

Jia Lian, however, remained silent.

However, Jia Lian was much better tonight than last night, and he quickly regained his senses.

Simply put, if you already have extremely high expectations and evaluations of certain two items, then you won't be too excited when you actually see them.

After all, no matter how abundant, how fair, or how flawless, it's all just meeting expectations.

Therefore, Jia Lian didn't care at all about Baochai's self-cherishing of her own things. He just glanced at Baochai's expression with a smile before quickly turning his gaze downwards.

Baochai is like a treasure trove; she has so many wonderful features. If one were to carefully admire every detail, one might not be able to get anything done by tomorrow morning.

Let's just skim through it for now. Once we've completely won over Baochai, why worry about not having a chance to savor her later?

Therefore, Jia Lian took a step back and aimed his hands at both ends of the white silk trousers...

"My precious girl!"

Jia Lian cursed under his breath, "Oh no!"

Before he could decide whether to go all the way and strip Baochai naked first, he felt Baochai's legs suddenly exert force under his buttocks.

Before Jia Lian could even see exactly how Baochai was moving, he had already been flipped over to the foot of the bed by her.

Looking up again, Baochai was already sitting on the edge of the bed, quickly picking up the bodice he had carelessly discarded and wrapping it around herself. Before she was even finished, she had already walked to the middle of the room, picked up her own outer garment, wrapped it around herself, and then loudly called out to the outside, "Is that Mother? Come in..."

Baochai felt calmer than ever before, while her heart was beating faster than ever before.

Just as she finished fastening her clothes, she turned around and found that Jia Lian hadn't moved at all; in fact, he was sitting cross-legged on her bed, quite leisurely.

She immediately panicked, went over and pulled at him, saying, "What are you doing? Get down here! It'll be terrible if my mother sees you."

Jia Lian curled his lip. Could things have gotten any worse than this?

If he had known that Aunt Xue would actually dare to ruin his plans, he wouldn't have hesitated so much and would have just gone into the alley in one fell swoop.

But it's just a thought. If it really happened, not only would Baochai not be able to accept it, but he wouldn't be able to either.

Pulled by Baochai, Jia Lian, though unwilling, obediently sat up from Baochai's bed.

But Jia Lian's displeasure quickly vanished.

As soon as he sat up, Baochai immediately squatted down, picked up the boots he had kicked off, and put them on for him herself.

Heaven have mercy, he climbed onto Daiyu's bed so many times, but most of the time he was chased down by Daiyu. When has he ever enjoyed such treatment?

It's fine when Zijuan and Xueyan are around, but when those two aren't, he has to do everything himself.

Comparing the two, Jia Lian felt that Baochai was far better than Lin Daiyu. "Hmm, I'll treat Baochai better from now on."

……

In her excitement, Baochai took off her clothes in front of Jia Lian to express her feelings, and her maid Ying'er tactfully withdrew.

But after leaving the house, Ying'er thought it over and over and realized that it was not feasible!

The latest chapter of this novel is available on the first release page. Please go and read it there!

She wasn't particularly respectful of etiquette, but if asked to offer herself to Jia Lian right now, she would be a thousand times, ten thousand times willing.

But the girls are different.

There are at least three or four competitors that are openly competing with these girls!

Let's not even talk about Sister Feng and the rumored princess; one is inferior in status, and the other is worlds apart in position.

But aside from these two, the young lady's direct rival is Lin Daiyu.

The young lady hasn't even been betrothed to Jia Lian yet, and if she so hastily loses her virginity to him, although she believes Jia Lian won't let her down, public opinion is a powerful force to be reckoned with.

If word gets out, how will the young lady maintain her standing in Jia Lian's household in the future?

The status of the young lady directly affects the status of her maidservant, so it cannot be taken lightly.

The longer Jia Lian stayed in the room, the more uneasy Ying'er became.

She was hesitant to go in and ruin Jia Lian's plans herself. So, after much thought, she came up with an excellent plan: to inform Aunt Xue of what was happening.

Hehe, as long as the wife steps in, the girl's innocence can be easily protected.

She's so smart!

Fortunately, Jia Lian didn't know that Ying'er was such a "two-faced" and "fence-sitter." If he had known, he would have given her a good slap on the bottom.

When Aunt Xue heard Ying'er say that Baochai's body was about to be taken away by Jia Lian, she was immediately shocked.

She had no doubt that Ying'er was lying.

She knew all too well that with Jia Lian's methods, if he wanted to, even her intelligent daughter would find it difficult to escape his grasp.

She had also considered simply ignoring it, since judging from Ying'er's tone, Bao'er was doing it voluntarily.

She was genuinely afraid of offending Jia Lian.

Moreover, after being reprimanded by Jia Lian, she had completely figured it out. Since her daughter's heart was entirely with Jia Lian anyway, and the Xue family was already in this state, she might as well follow Jia Lian to the bitter end.

If Jia Lian were to make a comeback, the Xue family would naturally be able to reap the benefits.

Even if they fail, it won't be too bad for the Xue family.

Of course, she knew perfectly well that she couldn't afford to offend Jia Lian no matter what. Xue Pan was still in prison, and given Jia Lian's current situation, getting him out early might be difficult, but if he wanted to teach him a lesson, it would be incredibly easy.

She wouldn't dare gamble.

Therefore, even if the daughter is given to Jia Lian now, it is merely a pre-arranged fact.

However, Aunt Xue quickly regained her senses and felt that she could not let her young children run wild.

At the very least, we have to wait until the official status is established.

Aunt Xue rushed over, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she shouted, startling the lonely man and woman inside who were about to consummate their marriage.

After hearing Baochai's reply, she stood on the veranda for a while before going inside.

"mom……"

"aunt."

In front of Baochai, Jia Lian was still very polite, bowing slightly to Aunt Xue.

Aunt Xue didn't dare look at Jia Lian, but stared at her daughter instead.

Seeing her usually dignified and elegant daughter with a blush still lingering on her face, and not daring to meet her gaze, Aunt Xue knew that this was indeed the case.

I don't know if they actually got together or not.

The three people stood in three different locations in the room, not speaking to each other, creating a somewhat eerie atmosphere.

Finally, Aunt Xue wanted to get rid of Jia Lian so that she could have a private conversation with her daughter. So she took the initiative and said, "It's getting late. Why don't you stay here tonight, Lian'er? I'll have someone tidy up your room..."

Jia Lian could tell that Aunt Xue meant to see him out, so he smiled and said, "No, thank you for your kindness, Aunt. But I haven't finished my homework yet, and I'm afraid I'll disturb your peace at your house."

"homework?"

"Auntie, don't you know? I wasted a whole day practicing my fists and martial arts yesterday, so I can't slack off today no matter what. After all, practice makes perfect and idleness leads to ruin. I don't want to die on the battlefield one day because of my lack of skill."

Aunt Xue's expression froze. What could she say? Apart from being a bit lecherous and domineering, this guy seemed to be flawless in every other way!

So he nodded, indicating that Jia Lian could leave.

Jia Lian looked at Baochai and said with a smile, "Let's go back together."

Baochai said, "I plan to stay home tonight so I can talk to my mother."

Baochai hadn't planned to return to the Grand View Garden today; otherwise, she wouldn't have been taking a bath at home.

"The two sides aren't far apart, so your aunt can come into the garden to talk to you anytime."

On the contrary, if you don't go back to Hengwu Garden, who knows what Xiangyun will do with your Qin'er?

I happen to have a lot to say to you, so why don't you come back with me?

"Is that right, Auntie?"

Jia Lian's last words were spoken when he turned his head and squinted at Aunt Xue.

Seeing this, Aunt Xue was quite annoyed, but she still said sensibly, "Your second brother Lian is right. I can come into the garden anytime I want to see you. On the contrary, it's rare for your second brother Lian to have time to stay at home. You two should be closer."

Seeing that her mother had said so, Baochai had no choice but to nod and instruct Ying'er to pack her personal belongings.

Aunt Xue also wanted to go out and arrange a carriage.

Jia Lian said, "It's so late, why bother? It's just a short walk. Let Bao'er ride in my carriage."

Aunt Xue hesitated for a moment, then advised, "Lian'er, although I know you like Bao'er, some things should wait until after the wedding... at least until you're officially engaged and your status is confirmed, don't you think?"

Aunt Xue's words, seemingly directed at Jia Lian, were actually a reminder to Baochai.

This undoubtedly made Baochai feel somewhat ashamed.

Jia Lian was naturally unhappy that Aunt Xue was instilling such "feudal dregs" into Baochai, so he replied with a smile, "Aunt is right. I will keep a close eye on Baochai and will not let her go astray again."

Aunt Xue pursed her lips, too lazy to talk to Jia Lian anymore, and got up to leave the room.
