Lian Erye in the Red Mansion

As Zhen Yuhuan's personal maid, Manxue had already voluntarily left the room when Jia Lian and her young mistress became increasingly intimate, and had also sent away all the extra maids inside and outside the room.

Having done all this, she originally planned to sit in the outer room and guard the door to prevent outsiders from coming in and disturbing her.

But as soon as she sat down, she felt an unbearable itch. Her gaze drifted to the inner room, to behind the latticed window.

Inside, the light was dimmer than outside, and in the dimness, it seemed as if some wild beast was lurking.

She couldn't sit still any longer. She tiptoed up, leaned over the lattice window, and peeked inside.

The lattice window was covered with gauze, so you couldn't see what was inside. You could only vaguely make out two figures, one large and one small, huddled together inside.

Suddenly, the large figure stood up from the recliner, carrying the petite and delicate figure that appeared even smaller through the gauze window, and quickly moved toward the bed.

The bed was in the corner, and there were curtains, so she couldn't see much from her angle.

But this did not prevent her from having divergent thinking.

Master Lian carried the girl to the bed. Could he be planning to do *that* to her?

Hesitating, she noticed that Jia Lian, standing before the bed, seemed to be undressing her. As the pieces of clothing fell away, the young maid, now of marriageable age and just beginning to understand human affairs, could no longer maintain her composure.

Almost without thinking, she shifted her position, crouched down by the door, lifted a corner of the curtain, and peered into the deepest part of the room.

One glance was enough to make her lose track of time, and she didn't know how much time had passed before she came to her senses.

He pulled his hand away from the door, stood up, wiped the floor with his foot, and was about to turn around.

Looking back, I felt a chill run down my spine.

Unbeknownst to her, a person was quietly standing behind her, less than three meters away.

The figure wasn't very tall, nor did it look fierce; it even had a somewhat gentle and approachable appearance. But at this moment, it filled her with immense fear, and her hands and feet instantly turned ice-cold.

For a moment, she almost screamed in terror.

But in the end, she did not. Instead, she stood there, her heart ashen and her face pale, ready to receive her master's harshest insults and punishments.

……

Mrs. Zhen went to the kitchen to give instructions until all the dishes were prepared and could be served at a high-class banquet, before returning to the living room.

She heard that Jia Lian had been pulled away by his daughter to talk, but she didn't pay much attention, thinking that her two children were reluctant to part and would return shortly after their secret conversation.

But after waiting for a long time, there was still no sign of anyone.

She considered sending someone to urge them, but then remembered Jia Lian's words that her daughter was already his. The two of them being in her courtyard at this time might lead to some intimate actions, which wouldn't be good if the maids and servants saw them.

So he instructed the housekeeper to set out the feast, and then went alone to his daughter's courtyard.

The courtyard was quiet, except for two maids teasing the birds by the lower corridor. She casually waved them away to stop them from coming over to greet her, and then walked towards the main room.

Although the main room was brightly lit by candlelight, it was even quieter than the outside. A hint of eeriness lingered within the tranquility.

She hesitated for a moment, then stepped in, but consciously made her footsteps lighter.

Then she saw a maidservant crouching furtively by the door of her daughter's boudoir. Judging from her posture, she was clearly spying on what was happening inside.

Mrs. Zhen was a little angry, feeling that the maid in her daughter's room was too unruly, daring to spy on her mistress's privacy!

He was about to reprimand her when he suddenly paused, then flew into a rage.

By this time, she had already deduced from the girl's build and clothing that this sneaky girl was actually Manxue, the maid she had placed by her daughter's side whom she trusted the most.

If it were merely a trusted maid violating the family rules and regulations by spying on her mistress's privacy, it wouldn't have angered her so much.

What truly enraged her was that this shameless girl was peeking into the room through the curtain with one hand!

This is utterly shameless and unforgivable!

Despite her anger, she managed to control her emotions as a noblewoman from a prominent family. She had already gleaned an idea of ​​what was happening inside from the maid's actions.

Compared to the matter between her daughter and Jia Lian, a maid was utterly insignificant.

So she stood still, pondering how to deal with the situation. When the maid noticed her, she merely glanced at her coldly, then gestured for the door to open, signaling her to leave.

After the maidservant cautiously walked out of the main room, Madam Zhen found herself in a dilemma.

The two people inside the room were his most beloved daughter and the youngest duke in the dynasty, rumored to be the emperor's grandson.

It is easy to imagine that the two of them were doing something improper at that moment.

If we were to reveal this, wouldn't it be awkward for the mother and daughter, and for Jia Lian, to meet later?

But if we leave it unattended, our young children don't know the importance of things, what if our daughter gets pregnant?

Mrs. Zhen was also encountering such a situation for the first time. Unable to make up her mind, she instinctively felt that she should first check the situation inside the house.

As if possessed, I arrived at the door and, in the spot where the maid had been, lifted the curtain.

She glanced at it only once before immediately pulling her head back. Her beautiful, gentle face instantly flushed crimson.

She was also quite angry inside.

The reason for her blushing is easy to understand; just like the maid before her, she was captivated by Jia Lian's alluring male physique.

She was angry because what she saw was completely different from what the maidservant saw.

At this moment, Jia Lian had already sat up in bed, straddling the edge of the bed like a powerful warrior. If he were to raise his eyes, he could easily notice everything unusual at the door, which was why Madam Zhen dared not look too closely; she was afraid of making eye contact with Jia Lian.

She was furious.

You should know that her precious daughter is the apple of everyone's eye in the family. She has been pampered and cherished since she was a child. Now, she is being humiliated and belittled by Jia Lian!

She was also furious that her own daughter was so disappointing. Even if she liked Jia Lian very much, she couldn't just agree to all his unreasonable demands!

She wasn't surprised that her daughter knew such things, as it was something she had taught her daughter.

Her original purpose in coming to the capital was to send her daughter off to marry and enter the Crown Prince's residence.

In order to help her daughter win the favor of the Crown Prince and gain a foothold in the Crown Prince's residence, and also because she was worried that her daughter was still too young and did not know how to serve her husband, which might offend the Crown Prince in the future, she carefully taught her daughter some bedroom matters on the ship to the capital, at the behest of the old lady in the family.

It just so happened that her daughter was starting her period, so she told her that her daughter would have a few days like that every month when she felt unwell.

If in the future, under such circumstances, the husband still desires pleasure, and if she does not want the maidservants around her to have any, she can use some other methods to please him.

She never expected that her daughter, who had been so ashamed and claimed she would rather die than do such a shameful thing, would now so openly and generously accept her strongest move right before her eyes.

She was somewhat unwilling to believe that her obedient, lovely, well-mannered daughter was so submissive to Jia Lian, to the point of having no dignity.

After much deliberation, she felt it was necessary to double-check and confirm that her daughter hadn't been forced...

With this excuse, she no longer hesitated, leaned back, and her gaze swept over Jia Lian's entire body, finally settling on his lower abdomen.

He's really strong; his stomach is not only muscular, but also clearly defined... No wonder he's the youngest general in the nation!

At this moment, the noblewoman forgot the principle of not looking at what is improper, and carefully and cautiously peered in, unaware of the passage of time.

It wasn't until Jia Lian suddenly stood up that she snapped out of her daze and focused her attention on her daughter.

The daughter struggled to get up and leave, but Jia Lian pulled her back. It was unclear what he whispered in her ear.

In short, the daughter, who was initially in a hurry, gradually calmed down, and with a gurgle, glared at Jia Lian.

That one glance was breathtakingly beautiful, unlike anything she had ever seen before.
