Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 163: Dream your Spring and Autumn Dream!

At noon the next day, Jia Lian returned to his room and was waiting for Wang Xifeng to have lunch together, when he heard a commotion outside saying, "The Second Madam is back."

He looked out of the window and saw Wang Xifeng walking in with her arm around You Erjie, smiling!

Jia Lian immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly jumped off the kang and tried to run away! But he couldn't do it! It was too late!

He ran through the outer room in slippers, wanting to hide in Qiaojie's room!

Who would have thought that just as he lifted the curtain on the other side, Wang Xifeng's surprised voice came from the door: "Where are you going, Second Master?"

Jia Lian suddenly became unable to move his brain, hands and feet!

The whole person froze there!

"My concubine greets the Second Master." The voice of You Erjie, which was one part aggrieved, two parts lingering, three parts unhappy and four parts sour, sounded softly.

Jia Lian had no choice but to awkwardly retract his bare feet whose shoes had flown off. He laughed twice but didn't know what to say. His eyes rolled around and he winked at Ping'er who was beside Wang Xifeng as if he had a cramp.

"Second Master, don't look at Ping'er. She can't save you today." Wang Xifeng smiled, but her eyes were full of murderous intent.

Jia Lian and everyone else in the room felt themselves suddenly grow colder.

Among them, Qiu Tong was the most tactless one, and she actually smiled and flattered Wang Xifeng: "Otherwise, why do you say that the Second Madam is the noble lady!

"It's summer, and we don't need ice this year. Madam's place is too hot to sit still. But Second Madam's room is cool. I almost had a chill just now!"

Wang Xifeng snorted and said perfunctorily, "This sister Qiutong is indeed a descendant of the Madam. She is really good at talking!"

Then he stepped forward, took Jia Lian's hand, and pushed him to sit on the left seat at the top of the hall. He then smiled and sat on the right side, pointing at You Erjie:

"Don't be polite, second sister. Today is a good day. Right here, right now, why not do it right now?"

Ping'er, who was standing by, knew what was going on and gave a wink. Feng'er brought a tea tray with six bowls of tea.

Not only You Erjie, but also Jia Lian was stunned when looking at the six bowls of tea.

Wang Xifeng still smiled: "Of course, everyone knows that the Madam rewarded Qiu Tong and Qiu Gui with two sisters, not to be my maids, but to serve the Second Master.

"Since Second Sister has made it clear, I'll just offer her tea. I'll go talk to the old lady and the madam.

"It's just that the old lady said a few days ago that we are still in mourning and cannot have sex. Otherwise, if you have a child and it turns out to be a child born during the mourning period, I'm afraid your master's head will be in danger."

Having said that, he covered his mouth with a handkerchief and laughed out loud.

The wives and maids standing nearby could only join in the fun with a few dry laughs.

But Jia Lian, who was sitting on the seat, Qiu Tong, Qiu Gui, who had just happily come over and knelt together, and You Erjie, who was kneeling with her head down, who was gentle, soft, and charming, all froze at the same time!

"So, although we have found a bright future, you still have to let your three sisters stay away from the Second Master for a year."

Wang Xifeng finished speaking with a smile and gestured to Ping'er.

Ping Er said sternly, "My concubine You Erjie, serve tea! My concubine Qiu Tong, serve tea! My concubine Qiu Gui, serve tea!"

After sipping her lips from the three bowls of tea, Wang Xifeng smiled again, took out the gilded flower hairpins that she had prepared long ago, and inserted them on their heads one by one, saying with a smile:

"Next year! Next year, I will help your Second Master to have many children!"

Then she tilted her head and looked at Jia Lian, who was sweating profusely, with a smile on her face: "Second Master, do you think this is appropriate?"

Jia Lian was so shocked and delighted that he had already lost track of what day it was. When he heard the question, he laughed out loud: "My good wife, you have done a great job!"

Wang Xifeng smiled and ordered that the four rooms in the two wings be cleared out, so that each of them could live in one room. She then pushed Ping'er:

"You should also try to be more dignified and ask your second master to give you a higher rank as soon as possible, so that you can live in the remaining room by yourself. Now, the three who came later are all concubines, but you are still a maid!"

Ping Erh replied coldly: "It is very good for me to be your servant. As for the rest, I don't have that blessing!"

"You are such a stubborn bitch!" Wang Xifeng glared at her, then smiled and said to the three of them, "That's it!

"As for the remaining room, whoever gets pregnant first will move in and take up two rooms so they can raise the baby!"

After saying that, he ordered the three men to go down and rest.

Jia Lian was very satisfied at the moment, and treated Wang Xifeng more and more gently and considerately, without mentioning it.

But the next day, Wang Xifeng went to Grandmother Jia and said this with a smile, and Grandmother Jia's face changed immediately: "You said Lian'er has been raising You Erjie outside for more than a month?!"

Wang Xifeng hurriedly knelt down, but could not say anything. She just kowtowed and cried, begging the old lady to calm down.

Grandmother Jia felt a tightness in her chest, reached out to grab her clothes, and her vision went dark.

Yuanyang hurriedly held her up and said, "Old lady! The case has been brought in and the matter has been covered up! Don't be angry!"

Grandmother Jia fell back, hummed, raised her hand with difficulty, and waved it.

Yuanyang was so anxious that she was already in tears, so she said to Wang Xifeng, "Second Madam, please go and do your work. Old Madam, take a rest."

Wang Xifeng stood up, lowered her head and went out, immediately found Amber and asked her to make medicine for the old lady. She then walked out of the yard leisurely and went to Li Wan to drink tea, complain and wipe her tears.

Another hour passed.

Jia She established the family rules in the ancestral hall and ordered people to call Jia Lian over. He didn't say much, didn't ask about taking a concubine or divorcing his wife and remarrying, and just went straight to the point of beating him with the stick in his own hands, gritted his teeth and hit him dozens of times with vicious blows!

It was not until Jia Lian was beaten so hard that he was breathing heavily that Mrs. Xing came and took away the stick. She sighed and advised:

"Forget it, are you really going to beat him to death? He's already married, but he still doesn't have any offspring. Give Feng girl some face!"

Jia She sneered: "Why should I give them face? My mother can't stand the anger and sorrow anymore. He knew it clearly, but still did such a dirty thing! Today, my old lady was almost mad to death by him!

"You shameless little bastard! Let me tell you! You, the master of Dongfu, have no other bloodline, but you can still beat Rong'er's legs until they are rotten!

"I still have a son named Cong! At worst, I can let your wife register him under her name, and he will be considered a legitimate son!"

Jia Lian had not fainted yet. He was even more frightened when he heard the last sentence. He could only force himself to admit his mistake in a daze and ask Jia She for forgiveness.

Jia She snorted, "What can I forgive? As long as you are thick-skinned enough, what can't I forgive?!

"Do you think no one in the family knows about You Erjie and Zhen Ge'er's affair? Let me tell you, even the servants are laughing at you behind your back for drinking Zhen Ge'er's leftover foot washing water!

"Master Lian, you are still the clan leader! You still want to inherit the title? Dream on!"
