Chapter 477: The Mother-Daughter Talk
The west side of the small courtyard.
Watching them flirting with each other, she led Sun and Liu into the main room. Aunt Xue gently lowered the curtain and turned back to explain awkwardly, "Although your Sister-in-law is not very proper in her behavior, she is also a kind-hearted and righteous person. She has been guarding your brother without any hesitation these days and has not despised him at all.”
Xue Baochai was sitting on the marble Arhat bed in the middle, wearing a honey-colored brocade bikini, lined with a lotus blue gauze skirt, while taking advantage of the neatness, she also outlined the concave and convex figure very brilliantly.
She received a letter from her mother yesterday afternoon, and she only realized that her brother had been in trouble again. So she hurried over early in the morning, but before she could chat with her brother, someone outside reported that Sun Shaozong and Liu Xianglian had arrived.
Therefore, the mother and daughter had to shelter in this western room temporarily.
Although “all evil and lewdness are at the forefront” this was already a violation of the great taboo of being a wife and daughter. However, Baochai was the main force in marrying Wang-Shi at the beginning, so how could she comment on Wang-Shi's achievements and faults now?
So when Xue Baochai heard that her mother was trying to cover up for her Sister-in-law, she just smiled and didn’t answer. Instead, she got up and pulled her mother to Arhat's bed and sat opposite each other across the Kang table with glossy ganoderma and red sandalwood.
As she was sitting idle at home, Aunt Xue, according to her preferences, wrapped herself in a simulated Tang palace outfit, a fiery red bra, and a glass-colored robe. She made the proud pair look as white as jade instead of jade, and as smooth as cream.
Compared to Xue Baochai on the opposite side, although she lacked some youthful colors, she also has a more mature and alluring charm.
After being pulled down by her daughter, she leaned her plump and moderate body against the cushion, frowned, and whispered, "Good daughter, do you think Lord Sun will stand up for your brother and arrest that damn thief?”
Baochai picked up the small purple clay pot on the tea table, poured a cup for her mother, and when she put the pot back into the tea tray, she said slowly, "In my opinion, it’s alright not to catch the thief."
“Not to catch it?”
Aunt Xue was taken aback by the words and immediately sat up straight. She leaned forward slightly and covered the teacup. She couldn't help but say, "Why is this so? How can your brother's suffering have been endured in vain?”
“He didn’t suffer for nothing.”
Xue Baochai said helplessly, "My brother is at least the Son-in-law of the officials in the Ministry of Personnel. Who dares to trouble him recklessly in his spare time? It must be because my brother didn't know where he offended some enemy that someone came to teach him a lesson.”
“But...”
“Moreover, the man secretly came to seek revenge, but he still acted with great discretion. He never really hurt my brother. His intestinal illness was purely accidental, and it must not have been his intention.”
“It shows that the other party harbors scruples, but when they can't bear it anymore, they angrily took risks.”
“Even if he didn't intend to hurt your brother, this pain is still caused by him.”
Aunt Xue felt a bit annoyed when she saw her daughter speak up for the thief. Her chest was heaving, and she could hear the jingle of the kang table. It turned out that the towering tea cup was trembling and constantly hitting the tray.
Aunt Xue hurriedly collected her body before continuing, "We should find the culprit and sort things out.”
Xue Baochai just shook her head and said, "Mom, don't be impatient. In fact, if it's just these considerations, I wouldn't want my brother to suffer this humiliation for nothing. Think carefully. When my brother was attacked, he held a banquet in a different hall in the Baihua Building, with strong servants guarding the door outside and servants serving him inside. However, the other person enters without difficulties, obviously not comparable to ordinary strong people.”
“Also, his humiliation has not harmed my brother's life or body. If it really brings up to the court, it will only be a punishment of some silver. Even if he invites the Second Brother of the Sun family to take him down, what benefit can it bring?”
“It can't be said that he will only add new hatred to old hatred, which makes him even more angry. He may even take another risk, not be able to restrain himself and harm my brother's life.”
“My son...”
After hearing this, Aunt Xue couldn't help but lean forward and grip Xue Baochai's white wrist.
Ignoring the splashing of water in the teapot, wetting his fiery red chest, she trembled and said, "So, isn't this person provoking? Then... Then I have to quickly stop your brother, otherwise, according to his temperament, he will definitely take action against the Erlang of the Sun family.”
As she spoke, she stood up and left the table.
“Mom, what's the fuss?”
Xue Baochai lowered her head and pondered for a while, but in the end, she shook her head and said, "It's best not to get too close to the Sun family at the moment, and it's not too late to make plans again when the dust settles on the matter of the imperial family.”
She always made up her mind, and Aunt Xue didn’t really care about business or anything. Therefore, upon hearing this, she turned over this article with slight regret.
Afterward, the two of them got together again and had a casual conversation, discussing trivial matters related to the palace.
As they chatted, it was natural to mention the fact that Imperial Concubine Xiande, Jia Yuanchun, was nominated as a ”seeded player.”
Aunt Xue lowered her voice and whispered, "A few days ago, when she went to Rongguo Mansion, your aunt was still covering up and refused to reveal the truth to me. In your opinion, is there any reason for this?”
This...
Xue Baochai hesitated and didn't know how to comment on this matter. Coincidentally, when the door curtain was lifted, Wang stormed in from outside, shaking the water she had touched from nowhere. She said in a coquettish voice, "Mother and sister, that silly guy is making a fuss about having a few drinks with Lord Sun, and I can't persuade him. What should we do about it? You should quickly come up with a plan.”
As soon as Aunt Xue heard this, she jumped up and repeatedly said, “How can this be done?' As she spoke, she wanted to find her and dissuade Xue Pan from mischievous harm to his body.
Xue Baochai, however, didn't take it seriously and shook her head and said, "If only Young Master Liu was here, perhaps we would have to go over and persuade him. But since the Second Brother of the Sun family is also here, he won't let him act recklessly.”
Wang was not only a fickle leader but naturally disliked Xue Baochai's obedient appearance. Relying on the strength of her family, she has always loved to confront Baochai head-on.
At this moment, as she spoke confidently, she immediately exclaimed in an exaggerated tone, "Oh, my dear. You sound like a worm in Lord Sun's stomach. I wondered how much you can figure out about the thoughts of your Brother Bao.”
Xue Baochai knew her temperament well enough, so she wasn't upset. She just said calmly, "Brother Bao has a pure and kind heart. Everything he thinks is on his face and his lips, why bother to speculate?”
Upon hearing this, Wang snorted and could only make a few more sarcastic remarks. Aunt Xue quickly became a peacemaker, taking advantage of the situation to open up the topic and inquire about what Sun and Liu had just said to Xue Pan.
“They didn't say anything important either.”
Wang said nonchalantly, "At first, that silly guy was making a fuss about revenge, but it was the first time I've seen him so obedient when he was scolded by Lord Sun, drooping his head in a few words.”
“Later on, Lord Sun said that he would secretly send someone to investigate to find out the other party's background and the grudges between him and the foolish guy. It's not too late to decide what to do about it.”
Upon hearing this, Aunt Xue couldn't help but turn around and look at her daughter, thinking to herself that the Sun family's Erlang really went well with her daughter.
With this mutual understanding and his son's respect for the Sun family's Erlang, if it weren't for Jia Baoyu in front, recruiting him to become a quick son-in-law would be an excellent choice.
But now...
Seeing that Jia Baoyu has the opportunity to become a legitimate national uncle, she naturally had to wholeheartedly tie him down. Even the previously prepared ”test” was abandoned.
Just as she was thinking of this, she saw Ying’er also sneak in from outside, bowing with beads of water hanging on her temples and saying, "Madam, the Elder Master asked you over and talk.”
“Call me over to talk?”
Aunt Xue was stunned at the words and said in surprise, "Lord Sun, have they already left?”
“Not yet Madam.”
Ying’er shook her head and said, "I heard it's about discussing the business of our family in Jinmen Mansion.”
Opening a business in Jinmen Prefecture?
Aunt Xue couldn't help but glance at Baochai again and saw that her daughter was also looking at her. She quickly shook her head and said, "Your brother is still recovering these days, and I have never mentioned Brother Ke's words to him.”
Xue Baochai only hesitated, and told her, "In that case, you might as well give a general answer first. When we return to the shop, it's up to us for the final say."
Aunt Xue agreed and picked up the curtain to go outside with Wang, only to see the wisps of western rain turning into pouring rain at some point.
