The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 93: Explaining Jealousy and Accepting Zhen Yinglian

Xiangling came to the west gate of the Rongguo Mansion with a paper umbrella. When she saw Xue Pan and Sun Shaozong standing side by side in the doorway, her feet slowed down a little, but she quickly picked up her pace again into the entrance a moment later.

Seeing that she had collected the paper umbrella first, she went up to Xue Pan and said, "I’m afraid that I will no longer be able to serve Master in the future. Please take care of yourself, and don't let Madam and the Lady worry anymore."

As a concubine who was sent away by Xue Pan, this showed that she was a woman who valued friendship by saying these words in front of her new Master.

Unfortunately…

"Do I need you, little hoof, to teach me how to behave?"

Xue Pan waved his hand like a fly and said impatiently, "Get on the carriage, go. Don't keep Second Brother waiting!"

Hearing that he was still so heartless, the expression on Xiangling's face suddenly darkened. She lowered her head and waited to take the luggage from the servant.

However, a strong arm took the lead, picked up the two bags of luggage, put them into the carriage, and then placed his arms in front of her.

"Get in the carriage."

Although both of them let her get on the carriage, the difference between the two was more than a mile.

Xiangling hesitated slightly. Only then did she carefully put the catkin in Sun Shaozong's hand and got on the carriage.

"Farewell."

Sun Shaozong turned around and arched his hand at Xue Pan, and then followed her into the carriage.

When he opened the curtain, he saw that Xiangling was wrapping a pair of embroidered shoes with cloth and putting them carefully in the corner. He knew she was afraid of polluting the carriage, so he laughed and said, "There are women in charge of washing in our Mansion, so there is no need to be so careful."

After hearing the words "our mansion,” Xiangling could not help but feel embarrassed. But she still said, "It's easier to wash a small piece of cloth than to change a whole mattress. Besides, Master can sit comfortably when the carriage is cleaner."

She’s indeed a person who knew how to serve.

Sun Shaozong felt more and more that Xue Pan had no visions... No. If he had no eyes, he wouldn't have robbed Xiangling with him.

While thinking about these things, Sun Shaozong also took off his wet boots, but he was too lazy to wrap them with some rags, so he directly lifted the mattress in the carriage and slipped it under.

He then got into the carriage and leaned on the cushion, which occupied most of the space.

"Set off~"

Zhang Cheng shouted outside, and the carriage started slowly and drove into the torrential rain.

Along the way, seeing that she remained in the corner and didn’t dare to even look up, Sun Shaozong could not help but stretch out his hand to gently lift her chin and scan the diamond Rouge mark in the middle of her eyebrows. He said, "This birthmark on your forehead knows how to grow. But since there are such obvious birthmarks, it shouldn’t be difficult to find your parents and family, right?"

Xiangling's nervous and delicate body trembled when he lifted her chin. But when he asked about her parents and family and didn’t do anything else, she calmed down. She chuckled and said, "The world is so big, and I don't remember the past. How will it be easy to find my “parents and family?” Besides, I'm used to it now, and Master doesn't have to worry about anything for me."

"That's right."

Sun Shaozong loosened her chin and pretended to be disappointed. "Originally, I thought about going to the Criminal Department to look through the missing case file. Since you didn't mean that, then..."

"Master!"

Before he finished, Xiangling grabbed his wrist and said excitedly, "Can you really find out about my parents from the Ministry of Pun… Punishment?"

She said he didn't have to worry about it earlier. Now that she’s so excited after hearing that there’s hope of finding her family, it's really typical duplicity.

"Although I'm not 100% sure, I still have 80% of them." Sun Shaozong said. "According to the criminal law of this Dynasty, any child who is abducted and trafficked under the age of 10 must submit the file to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for filing, to facilitate future inquiries. If there’s an obvious birthmark like yourself, it should not be difficult to find out."

In fact, with the ability of the Jia family, it's not difficult to go to the Criminal Department to check the files. It's just that there was no master in the Jia family willing to do the favor for Xiangling.

Jia Baoyu might be an exception, but he has always regarded his "economic career" as an enemy. How could he know how to help? contemporary romance

Hearing what he said, Xiangling was so excited that she could not control herself. She shrank back and knocked her head to the ground. She said tremblingly, "Please be kind to me and help me find out! No matter the final result, I will try my best to serve you in the future!"

"Now that you have entered my Sun's Mansion, I am duty-bound to find your family for you. Come, stand up first and speak."

As he spoke, Sun Shaozong reached out to help Xiangling.

But he doesn't know whether it was because he had just drank a few cups of wine. The hand was out of alignment. It slipped down three inches along the clavicle and suddenly grasped it. The straight grasp let Xiangling make a sound. Instead of being picked up by Sun Shaozong, she fell softly into his arms.

The sound of rain on the roof completely covered up the unspeakable and indescribable matters that happened inside the carriage.

—Dividing Line—

At the Sun Mansion, East Courtyard, Ruan Rong revolved around Xiangling three times, looking straight at her that Xiangling was trembling and at a loss. She then gave a smile and said, "I told Master that you are clever and sensible. I didn't expect that he managed to ask for you. Well, let's take it as it comes."

She then called the servant girl and said, "Shi Liu, take Sister Xiangling to the West Wing room to settle down."

Xiangling then stepped down as if she had been granted amnesty.

When she came out of the room, Ruan Rong gave Sun Shaozong a pinch with her eyes and said with a faint smile, "My Lord has endured this for a long time. You can finally have it your way today."

Women were fickle animals!

A few days ago, she advised Sun Shaozong to take someone into the mansion to get through the pregnancy. But now…

Sun Shaozong smiled and went up to her waist and said, "Why, are you jealous?"

"Jealous?"

Ruan Rong's small mouth curled, and she immediately said, "Furong, go and help clean up the West Wing room. Make a wedding room for the Master this evening!"

"Wait!"

Sun Shaozong hurriedly stopped the servant girl with no eyesight and said with a smile, "How am I in a hurry? Let her serve in your yard first. When your jealousy goes down, we'll then decide whether to take her in."

Ruan Rong glanced at him again and said coldly, "What if my jealousy never goes down?"

Sun Shaozong said without hesitation, "Then let her be an ordinary servant girl all her life!"

"Bah!"

Ruan Rong spat fiercely but smiled, "It's not me who will be in a different position in the future. I'm not the bad guy! You can take her in whenever you like, as long as you don't be lovey-dovey in front of me!"
