The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Upon hearing Jia Baoyu's exclamation, Sun Shaozong realized that the drowning person he had saved was another big maid named Jinchuan by Old Madam Wang's side.

Needless to say, this must be a victim implicated in the cold war between the couple again.

Due to the timely rescue, Jinchuan only swallowed a few sips of the pond water. Therefore, after landing, she quickly woke up and covered her face with sobs, saying, "Why... Why should you save me? Let me die... And I won't be kicked out by my Madam for nothing.”

Sure enough, she was indeed implicated.

Jia Baoyu quickly comforted her and said, "Good sister, what are you talking about? Don't say that your Madam may not have such thoughts. Even if she does have such thoughts, I will persuade her to change her mind.”

Jinchuan refused to believe him and continued to cry, "If the Second Master can persuade the Old Madam, then Qingwen... How could Qingwen... be sent to the Sun family?”

This remark hit Jia Baoyu's sore spot. He hesitated and didn't know how to deal with it, so he habitually turned to Sun Shaozong for help.

But how could Sun Shaozong intervene in such household matters?

Therefore, he avoided Jia Baoyu's gaze in advance.

Sun Shaozong glanced for a moment with a corner of his eye and vaguely recognized that the person was not someone else. It was Jia Lian, who had just left, who had gone and returned and was hiding in the dark to spy. Was he trying to plot his own evil thoughts?

Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but secretly increase his vigilance.

But…

He guessed wrong this time.

It was said that Jia Lian hid in the bushes and kept watching Sun Shaozong, Baoyu, Jinchuan, and others go away. After stopping in place for a long time, he finally walked towards his courtyard, feeling lost.

Along the way, he muttered to himself, "Why didn't I notice it before? It's really... really..."

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Jia Lian's cheeks, which had been smeared with powder, seemed to be a bit rosy again.

Seeing his courtyard, he pushed open the door of his study and was almost tripped by the threshold, feeling restless. As soon as he stabilized himself, he was suddenly slapped on the buttocks.

Looking back, he saw his close servant, Zhao'er, hiding behind the door with a playful and smiling face.

When Jia Lian turned around, Zhao’er put his paw under his nose and sniffed it. His face was intoxicated and he said, "The Second Master smells really good, especially in this territory.”

Originally, Jia Lian used to ”get angry” with the little boys around him, but recently he has a preference for it. Therefore, in private, these little boys have gradually become more prominent.

Normally, these flirting techniques were exactly the tone Jia Lian liked, but now he looked at Zhaoer's thin figure and only felt disinterested.

He pinched the orchid in his hand and shook his sleeve, saying coquettishly, "What's the fragrance? Go away; I don't have time to talk to you today.”

Zhao'er saw that he was uninterested, and seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, he had no choice but to leave the study casually.

Crunch~

Jia Lian easily locked the door and closed his eyes tightly against the door plank. However, all that came to his mind was the scene of Sun Shaozong carrying Jinchuan out of the water.

The wet robe was tightly pressed against his body, delineating his sharp and powerful physique to the fullest. His masculine aura emanated from every move and made him feel dazzling and piercing from afar.

“It was like, his physicality was what counts as a man.”

With a murmur, Jia Lian blurted out, holding onto his bouncing heart in both hands. Not to mention, it was in the ghost's mind that even the deep-seated hatred had melted into.

At the same time.

Ah choo~

Sun Shaozong sneezed heavily and made Jia Baoyu on the side even more embarrassed. He rubbed his hands and said, "It's all my fault that caused you to catch the cold, Second Brother Sun. Why don't you come to my yard to warm up first, and I'll find someone to find a suitable suit of clothes for you to change.”

Sun Shaozong didn't feel any discomfort in his body, but since he started sneezing, he couldn't continue wearing these wet clothes and went back, so he went to the Yihong Courtyard with half an effort.

As for Jinchuan, it was Old Madam Wang who, upon hearing the news, asked to take her back.

To put it bluntly, Jinchuan was also self-inflicted.

Recently, due to her old rivals Caixia and Qingwen being sent to the Sun family, she became a bit complacent and even took advantage of Old Madam Wang's nap to flirt with Jia Baoyu. She also said that she had planned to take Baoyu to catch Caixia and Jia Huan secretly having an affair, but now she has no chance to take action.

As a result, Old Madam Wang listened attentively, slapped her in the face, and threatened to drive her out of the Jia Mansion, which gave rise to the drama of Jinchuan committing suicide.

When he came to the Yihong Courtyard, Jia Baoyu hurriedly shouted to Xiren to find new bedding and towels and invited Sun Shaozong into his usually idle room, asking him to take off his clothes and dry them first.

He originally wanted to find a suit of clothes for Sun Shaozong to change into as soon as possible, but to his surprise, Xiren searched all over the house but couldn't find a suitable pair of clothes and shoes.

Seeing that he was about to return in vain, he casually said, "If Big Master Xue was still in our mansion, I could borrow a piece of clothing from him, but now...”

This reminded Xiren that there were no other men in the Grand View Garden except for Baoyu and Jia Lan, so everyone was searching in the front yard, and no one had been to Xue Baochia’s place yet.

“Lady Xue and Ying'er love to take care of some needlework in their daily lives. Now that the weather is gradually getting colder, they have probably made new clothes for Master Xue.”

Speaking of this, Xiren couldn't help but feel embarrassed. If it had been made by Ying’er, it would have been okay. But if it was made by Xue Baochai...

After all, she was a Lady from a wealthy family. How could she casually dress a man of a different surname with her handmade clothes?

Qiu Wen and Sheyue didn't think so much. As soon as they heard that Xue Baochai might have suitable clothes, they rushed to the Hengwu courtyard with Xi Ren.

After explaining to Xue Baochai one by one, Xue Baochai smiled generously and said, "If it was someone else, I might be uncomfortable. Lord Sun is my brother's close friend and has saved my mother and me. What are some clothes worth?”

As she spoke, he instructed Ying’er, "Go and fetch the new set of clothes you made for the Master and have Sister Xiren take them back for duty.”

Ying’er rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and soon gathered together a complete set of clothes, hats, and shoes. Although Sun Shaozong was a bit more generous than Xue Pan, he could still use them with ease.

So all the maids were grateful and went back to the Yihong Courtyard happily with clothes.

It was said that Sun Shaozong got the clothes and shook them open just as he was about to wear them. Suddenly, he heard a crisp ”snap” sound, and a letter fell out of the clothes.

Sun Shaozong curiously shook his head and looked closely. It was originally a family letter written by Xue Baochai to his brother. Throughout the article, he advised him to restrain his temper and even if he could not continue his career development, he should take advantage of Minister Wang's advice to reorganize the family business.

In the end, she hastily mentioned that the clothes were sewn by herself in her spare time. If any areas didn't fit, he should ask her Sister-in-law to help make the necessary changes.

Tch~

After reading the earnest words of ”hoping my brother to become successful” and thinking about Xue Baochai's gorgeous appearance and figure, sewing the delicate clothes, Sun Shaozong suddenly remembered the matter of Jia Zheng's matchmaking. He told him to wait for his news, so why didn't there be any further explanation?

Eh…

At this moment, Xiren outside suddenly exclaimed, "Why are Lord Sun's clothes missing? Did either of you put them away?”
