The King of Beijing in the Red Mansion

But Yuanchun knew in her heart that she did not hate this kind of boy. On the contrary, she was happy about him because he always brought her a fresh feeling which made her feel thrilling.

After a moment of silence, Yuanchun's eyes flickered, and she suddenly said, "I know that my husband loves me, but he should not neglect the other sisters."

He is young and full of vigor, and now his body is not fit for service, so he can only let other sisters serve him. While serving his husband, he can also gain a reputation for being magnanimous.

How could that be? Are we just going to let the young man just sit there and watch? That would be harmful to his health.

Shui Rong chuckled and nodded, but didn't say anything. What else could he say to such a gentle, respectful and frugal wife?

Looking at the young man's calm expression, Yuanchun knew that this was a tacit understanding between husband and wife. She pursed her lips and reminded him, "My husband, the two sisters of the You family have been in the mansion for quite some time. You should go and comfort them when you have time."

Speaking of which, the sisters of the You family are close to her. She has been in the palace for more than half a year, but has been delayed until now. The prince is not in a hurry, and the sisters of the You family are helpless.

Now is the perfect time for the You sisters to take the stage.

Shui Rong was stunned for a moment, then he thought about it and felt that it made sense. The You sisters had indeed been left alone for too long, especially since they had been honest with each other. It was time to give them some peace of mind.

"Your Highness, Xueyan, who is with Miss Lin, is here." At this moment, Jin Chuan'er, who was guarding outside, reported.

Hearing this, Shui Rong frowned. Xueyan came to find him, it must be that something big happened with Pin'er, otherwise she wouldn't have sent someone to look for him.

Chapter 399: Shui Rong: Just a Piece of Stone

The Mansion of Duke Rong, a small, dark and shiny courtyard.

Ping'er, wearing a small pearl hairpin and a blue dress, walked along the corridor, her pretty face showing a bit of anxiety. She ignored the maids guarding outside and went straight into the house. When she saw the beautiful woman lying on the soft couch, her beautiful eyes flashed and she ordered the maidservants standing by, "You go out first."

When Feng Jieer saw Ping Er's attitude, her heart tightened, knowing that something serious had happened. She sat up straight and waited until everyone left before asking, "Ping Er, what happened?"

Ping'er's eyebrows trembled slightly, and she leaned forward and whispered softly, "Madam, the one that Master Lian kept outside is pregnant."

When Sister Feng heard this, her bright face turned cold as ice, her narrow and long beautiful eyes stood up, with a murderous look on her face, she said in a cold voice: "Is this true?"

Ever since she found out that Jia Lian had a little girl outside, Feng Jieer planned to deal with her. However, after being "taught a lesson" by the prince, she dared not do anything out of line. But she always had someone watching the place, for fear that something unexpected would happen.

Ping'er looked at Fengjie'er's cold expression, her heart skipped a beat, she nodded, and replied, "Well, I specially asked someone to ask the doctor who took the pulse, and the man has been pregnant for a month."

In fact, Ping'er knew her grandmother's overbearing personality very well, and was afraid that the man would not have an easy life. Although she felt sorry for it, the matter was of great importance, so Ping'er had to tell the truth.

Otherwise, with the current relationship between my grandmother and the second master, if the one being raised outside gives birth to a son, my grandmother might not be able to protect herself!

Although she has a kind heart, Ping'er is not a saint.

Hearing this, Feng Jieer's charming face was gloomy, and she scolded: "I thought that bitch was a sensible person, but I didn't expect that she was treacherous in her heart. If this is the case, don't blame me."

Originally, she was hesitant to take action, thinking that the woman outside had at least followed her uncle and had some experience, so she should know the limits, and it would be fine if everyone just lived in a muddle.

But now that she is pregnant, things are different. This is a real threat to her position, and Feng Jieer cannot just turn a blind eye to it.

Ping'er also understood what Fengjie meant. It would have been fine if the girl outside had just been an obedient person to entertain the Second Master, but she had to get pregnant with the Second Master's child.

The second master's child would be the future heir to the title of Duke Rong's eldest son.

Pursing her lips, Ping'er showed some hesitation in her eyes and suggested, "Grandma, it doesn't matter if the one outside gives birth. After all, you are the child's legal mother, so it's just right."

"You are teaching me how to do things." Sister Feng glanced at Ping'er coldly. Her narrow and long phoenix eyes were like two sharp swords, piercing people's hearts, making Ping'er lower her head, not daring to look directly at her.

Sister Feng snorted coldly and said sternly, "I know you mean well, but you are letting me, your aunt, raise a child for these two shameless people and have a grand dream."

In fact, Feng Jieer understood Ping'er's meaning. For the time being, it was most appropriate to follow Ping'er's idea, and everyone was happy.

However, although everyone was happy, Feng Jieer was not happy. Why should she raise a child for someone else? Even if the eldest house had no heirs, she could still adopt a child. Even if that child was not Jia Lian's, it was still the bloodline of the Jia family.

In short, Jia Lian cannot get what he wants.

But thinking that Ping'er was devoted to her, Feng Jieer still explained: "They are not my own children. They are all ungrateful wolves that can never be tamed. Sooner or later, they will bite back."

Feng Jieer thought she had some understanding of human nature, as there would always be a layer of distance between the child and hers if the child was not her own.

Although the adopted children are almost the same, there is a huge difference between them. The adopted parents cannot affect the status of Feng Jieer as the eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest son, but this kind of concubine has the qualifications to threaten her status.

Ping Er heard this and thought it made sense. After thinking for a while, she said, "Grandma, why don't you ask the prince for instructions?"

The prince had promised my grandmother, and now that this kind of thing has happened, he has to say something, which can also prevent my grandmother from making mistakes.

Hearing this, Sister Feng'er's bright face was full of sarcasm, and she sneered, "They are all cuckolds from the same village. How can I count on him? I'm afraid that I will have to ask him to count the money after I am sold."

In Feng Jieer's opinion, Shui Rong's attitude last time had already been biased towards Jia Lian. Even if this matter was told to Shui Rong, it would probably be the same as Ping'er's previous suggestion.

She wanted to swallow this anger, but she was dreaming.

Seeing her grandmother's firm attitude, Ping'er sighed helplessly in her heart, hoping that her grandmother would not make too much trouble to avoid causing any big trouble.

Alas, she could only watch one or two things and try to persuade those who needed to reconcile.

At this moment, the maid outside the room came running over and reported, "Second Madam, Master Bao had an argument with Miss Lin and dropped the jade. The old lady and the ladies are rushing over now."

Hearing this, Feng Jieer raised her brows. All the troubles came together at once, making her feel annoyed.

Although Feng Jieer was speechless about Baoyu dropping the jade, she was not surprised. She thought it was just a common occurrence and not worth taking seriously.

However, since this had happened, Sister Feng could not sit idly by. Since Jia Lian's matter could not be dealt with in a hurry, she took Ping'er and rushed to Daiyu first.

In Daiyu's courtyard.

Grandmother Jia rushed over in a hurry, supported by Lady Wang. Before she even entered the courtyard, she said anxiously, "Why did you drop your vitals again? That's your vitals!"

In Jia's grandmother's view, this was just another quarrel between the young couple. But quarreling was just a quarrel, but if they threw the magical jade over a disagreement, what would happen if the jade broke one day?

When Baoyu saw Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang coming over, he looked terrified. After all, in the past they would usually just be scolded and the matter was left alone. But this time was different. The jade was broken, and he didn't know how Lady Jia and the others would punish him. He couldn't help but feel panic-stricken.

Daiyu's two curved eyebrows trembled slightly, she lowered her head and remained silent, her bright eyes like water were misty and tearful.

At this moment, Daiyu was unsure in her heart, fearing that the matter would not be resolved peacefully. Her petite body trembled, and she felt sad in her heart, and she missed her brother even more.

Zijuan noticed the girl's panic, and she supported her shaky body with pity, and said softly: "Miss, I asked Xueyan to go to the palace to invite the prince, you don't have to worry."

When she saw that the jade was broken into pieces, she felt that a catastrophe had occurred. She knew that her daughter would definitely not get any benefit, so she asked Xueyan to invite the prince immediately.

Right now, only the prince can support the girl.

Daiyu frowned when she heard this. She didn't want to trouble her brother, but Zijuan had already asked Xueyan to go and inform them, so she couldn't stop it.

However, the girl was filled with curiosity and anticipation. She wondered if her brother would rush over when he heard the news. She hoped that her brother would be back soon.

For a moment, Daiyu couldn't help but feel hopeful.

At this moment, Mrs. Wang saw that the spiritual jade was missing from Baoyu's neck. Her brows tightened, and she stared at Xiren, who was covering her abdomen, and asked anxiously, "Where is the jade?"

"This"

Xiren had already vomited blood after being kicked, and her abdomen was in unbearable pain, so she had no mind to look for the jade.

When Mrs. Wang saw Xiren hesitating, she became more and more dissatisfied. What was the point of keeping such a short-sighted maid? It would be a good thing to drive her away from Baoyu.

"Hurry up and find it." Mrs. Wang glanced at the maids and shouted.

Hearing this, the maids and nannies who came with Lady Jia and Lady Wang began to look for the spiritual jade. After searching for a while, one of the maids said, "Madam, Madam, we can't find it."

Grandmother Jia's heart tightened. She looked up at Daiyu who was sobbing softly, sighed slightly in her heart, turned to look to the side, and asked, "Zijuan, Xiren, where did the spiritual jade fall to? Why don't you tell me?"

When Zijuan heard this, she knew she couldn't get away this time, so she went in the direction where Yu Qianfei had gone before.

However, Zijuan had made up her mind that the magical jade could not be found so quickly, and she had to buy some time for the prince to arrive. Otherwise, the girl would suffer a lot of grievances.

At this moment, Sister Feng arrived late. Seeing the tense atmosphere in the yard, Sister Feng, who was always aggressive, did not dare to act rashly and stayed aside obediently.

After searching for a long time, seeing that the jade had not been found, Jia's mother became more and more anxious. Seeing Baoyu's stunned look, she took Baoyu's hand and asked, "My dear, where did you drop the jade?"

Baoyu was stunned and saw Jia's mother's anxious look. He couldn't help but shed tears and said in a sobbing voice: "Grandfather, I don't know either."

He just dropped it casually, why would he pay so much attention to it? In the past, Xiren always helped him find it, so he never had to care about these things.

As Baoyu finished speaking, Jia's old face became sad. Looking at Baoyu, she could not help scolding him, "You careless evildoer, how could you lose the jade? It is your lifeblood, your lifeblood!"

In the past, when treating Baoyu, Jia's grandmother held him in the palm of her hand for fear of dropping him, and held him in her mouth for fear of melting him. But the spiritual jade represents Baoyu and is his blessing, not a casual thing.

He would throw jade at any time and didn't take it seriously at all.

The story of the boy who cried wolf over and over again is exhausting.

When Mrs. Wang saw that Lady Jia, who had always loved Baoyu the most, was scolding her, she became more and more angry. She looked up at Daiyu with a cold look in her eyes.

Whenever this sick person came, Baoyu got into trouble. It was truly a disaster.

Daiyu has always been sensitive, and vaguely sensed a sense of coldness. She raised her head slightly, and met those cold eyes, which were like two sharp swords, making the girl tremble. Tears could not stop flowing from her bright eyes under her willow-leaf eyebrows.

She knew that she was to blame.

At this time, Feng Jieer knew that she could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, so she stepped forward and said carefully: "Grandpa, Madam, don't worry, Baoyu fell in a rage, and he might have run to some corner, but at least he is in this yard, he won't run away, let's look for him slowly."

Hearing this, Jia's mother calmed down a little, wiped away her tears, and said, "That's right, let them continue to look for it."

I've already fallen, what else can I do?

Seeing this, Sister Feng felt relieved, and feeling the heat above her head, she said, "The sun is too strong, let's let the people downstairs find it first. Grandpa, Madam, let's go inside to take shelter first."

After Sister Feng's reminder, Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang finally realized the heat. Sweat was pouring down their faces, and even their backs were soaked from jogging all the way here.

Although Grandmother Jia was anxious, she was not unreasonable. She followed Sister Feng's wishes and went into the house, and Daiyu and Baoyu followed her in.

At this time, Jia's mother sat on a yellow rosewood chair. After taking a sip of the tea handed to her by Feng Jieer, she looked up at Baoyu and Daiyu, who were trembling with fear. She said with a sad heart, "It is really a sin to have you two enemies."

In fact, Jia's grandmother was thinking about strengthening the relationship, especially since Daiyu was getting better and the prince treated Daiyu like his own sister, so she was definitely Baoyu's ideal partner.

But who would have thought that as the two of them grew older, they still quarreled all the time, causing people a lot of worry.

Hearing this, Baoyu lowered his head and remained silent, with a look of resentment on his silvery moon-like face.

As Daiyu listened to Jia's grandmother's complaints, her delicate body trembled, a bitterness surged in her heart, and tears could not stop falling. She covered her face with the handkerchief in her hand, her slender shoulders trembled, and she sobbed softly.

It was obviously Baoyu who dropped the jade, but even his grandmother blamed her. In his grandmother's heart, Baoyu was the apple of her eye, and she was just an insignificant person, so what did she count for?

When Lady Jia saw this, she sighed softly but did not continue to blame him.

After a while, Amber came in with a pale face, holding the broken spiritual jade in her hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Old lady, I found the jade, but it is broken."

Zijuan followed closely behind, feeling helpless. She could delay for a while, but not forever. She could only hope that the prince would arrive as soon as possible.

When Lady Jia saw that the jade was found, a look of joy appeared on her old face. But then she heard that the jade was broken. Her heart sank. She lowered her eyes and looked at the broken jade in Amber's hand. Her cloudy eyes bulged out.

The magical jade was broken, really broken.

Mrs. Wang's heart tightened and she looked at Amber in disbelief. The jade was really broken.

At this moment, Feng Jieer looked at the broken spiritual jade and felt incredible. She didn't know how many times this jade had been dropped and nothing had happened, so why did it break this time?
