Sigh~

In the end, he was pulled onto the pirate ship [carriage] by Xue Pan.

Seeing that the carriage had already driven towards the Rongguo Mansion, Sun Shaozong also stopped worrying and tried to inquire, "Do you know what's wrong with Baoyu?"

Xue Pan, together with the pillow in the carriage, was pushed to every corner by Sun Shaozong, making him unable to stretch his legs.

Hearing Sun Shaozong's question, he grumbled bitterly, "How do I know? My family moved out of the Rongguo Mansion long ago. This afternoon, I went to play with Brother Bao and found out that something like this happened."

"Think again! Didn't you hear a word when you went here?" Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

"Well..."

Xue Pan scratched his head and thought for a long time until the carriage ran more than six miles away. He then beat his thigh violently and said happily, "I remember, my Aunt seems to have said, "Whether that dog slave dies or not, it’s none of my business. Why bother to tell me so much?"

A slave died?

Was it Lai Da?!

"You were in the Rongguo Mansion just now, did you see Lai Da?"

"I didn't see him."

Xue Pan said, and he was also surprised, "Yes, by right, as the main Steward, he should be present if something this big happens in the Mansion."

It might be Lai Da!

But what did Lai Da pulled out to make Baoyu so desperate?

Sun Shaozong pondered for a while and suddenly remembered a person. He asked, "You just said that a servant girl was expelled? Do you know why, and where?"

"Well... I don't know."

Xue Pan said with a bitter face, "I only heard that several maids have been driven away, among them, there’s the Senior maid, Xi Ren. Oh right, there is also a girl named Qing Wen, who is very popular at ordinary times."

Xi Ren, Qing Wen?

These two seem to be Baoyu's favorite servant girls.

What on earth were they expelled for?

Was it possible that Lai Da exposed their secrets before he died?

No, that’s incorrect!

They’re just two servant girls. What's the big secret?

Xue Pan listened reasonably, but he felt that there was something wrong. He was scratching his head and was at a loss. He heard Sun Shaozong say, "Since Brother Bao is fine, it's best! But I came all the way here to visit, I can't return without even seeing Brother Bao, right?"

Xue Pan thought the same too and hurriedly said, "Second Brother, come slowly. I'll go ahead and let some sisters avoid it."

With these words, he went away hurriedly.

Sun Shaozong and Lai Da looked at each other for a while and then said, "Head Steward Lai, I'll go ahead first."

Lai Da bowed and said, "Please help yourself, Lord Sun. If you have any issues, just let me know."

He didn't mean to stop him at all!

Was it because he didn't know that Baoyu’s action of investigating the case was bewitched by himself?

It was possible.

However, Sun Shaozong always felt that this was not the case. He could vaguely feel that Lai Da's presence here was actually a demonstration or a show-off.

In short, there were too many mysteries at present. It needed to be solved one by one!

With this in mind, Sun Shaozong quickened his pace slightly. He reached Jia Baoyu's yard and a group of beauties came out with lanterns. It was Lin Daiyu who was the first.

Sun Shaozong hurriedly dodged to one side from afar, but he was still identified by Daiyu's peachy-red eyes and was hardly glared at.

There was also a girl with a plump body and white skin, who looked at Sun Shaozong carefully from top to bottom.

Sun Shaozong vaguely remembered that, when he met Xue Pan for the first time, he had seen the girl from afar. It seemed that she was the one who helped Xue Pan up at that time.

However, he was busy talking with Wang Xifeng at that time, and he didn't look at her carefully.

Was this Xue Baochai?

But hasn't the Xue family moved out?

It's a pity that on this big evening, it's really hard to see the beauty of this female lead, who was as famous as Lin Daiyu in the classic novel, ”Dream of the Red Chamber” looked like.

When he was feeling pity, the group of beauties had already gone away. Sun Shaozong hurriedly stepped into the yard.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw two servant girls kneeling upright in the corner. It seemed that it was Xi Ren and Qing Wen.

Sun Shaozong hesitated for a moment, resisted the urge to ask, and walked into the main room.

It was as bright as day in the flower hall, and several servant girls were surrounded by a young man who was the Grand Master of Crime. Who else could he be, if not Jia Baoyu?

In the beginning, Sun Shaozong only thought that the rich and idle people were hungry and that they were no different from refugees.

But when he came closer, he found something strange. Jia Baoyu didn’t look like he was starving at all, but rather he was angry.

He was not so much filling his hunger as he was relieving his depression by overeating!
