The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 476: See a Visitor Out

Although there was an ambulatory between the east and west wing rooms and the main room, to avoid blocking the sun, the ambulatory was just the width of two people standing side by side. If it was a gentle rain, it would be fine. Now the rainstorm was pouring and the wind was blowing, and the narrow eaves couldn’t be blocked.

“Yo!”

Wang-Shi let out an exaggerated exclamation, probing her head and complaining, "It only took me a few words to come in and the rain is so heavy.”

As she spoke, her eyes suddenly lit up and she happily suggested to her Mother-in-law, "Since God is keeping guests, it's better to invite Lord Sun and Lord Liu to have lunch at our house before leaving.”

This statement was originally taken for granted, but when it came out of Wang's mouth, it always appeared to have a bad motive.

Therefore, Aunt Xue ignored her and waited for Ying’er to hastily retrieve two paper umbrellas. She then propped up one of them, which was yellow, and covered her side like a shield, and walked towards the hall against the wall.

Wang narrowed her mouth towards her back and quickly opened her umbrella, following her step by step.

As the two of them entered the hall one after the other, Sun Shaozong had already heard the commotion and led Liu Xianglian to greet them, bowing and honoring them before they even put the paper umbrella away.

“Two wise nephews, there's no need to be too polite.”

Aunt Xue quickly threw the paper umbrella to the ground and reached out to falsely support it, saying, "It's rare for you to come and visit Wenlong in such weather.”

“It's too late when it poured, otherwise we should have come earlier.”

As Sun Shaozong spoke, he straightened his waist and stroked his gaze from bottom to top, only to suddenly realize that there was a palm-like wet mark on the fiery red bra.

This…

Could it be that she accidentally got it when she came over just now?

But everything else on her body was fine. Why was it that only the lower part of her chest was wet, and she even got it right above her heart, covering half of her chest?

Should it be that Xue Pan's dead father, whose head was already green?

No!

Even if she wanted to have an affair with someone, there was no reason to specifically go to her son's yard to do so.

It seemed like it was just a coincidence.

Thinking recklessly in his heart, Sun Shaozong didn’t show any signs on his face and respectfully welcomed the mother and daughter into the room.

They saw Xue Pan leaning on the bed, although he didn't have enough breath, he still exclaimed excitedly, "Mother! Just now I heard Second Brother say that the Jinmen Mansion has great potential. Aren't you always accusing me of not doing my job? Today, I'll make a serious decision and move 30% of our people from Jiangnan to Jinmen Mansion first.”

Upon hearing this, Aunt Xue immediately was put in a difficult position. According to her daughter's wishes, her family was not suitable for having too much interest in the Sun family until the imperial rule could be determined.

But his son made up his mind as soon as he opened his mouth. Moreover, this was an act of kindness on the Sun family. Even if she wanted to delay, she couldn't find a suitable reason for the moment.

As Sun Shaozong was in a dilemma, he had already noticed some clues. Although he didn't know the reason, he smiled and said, "I just casually said it, whether is it suitable or not, you should carefully calculate before making up your mind. You decided so anxiously, don’t you are afraid of losing your foundation.”

“What is there to be afraid of?”

Xue Pan didn't care and said, "Having you there, I won't at least give those dirty-hearted old thieves any benefit.”

Sun Shaozong smiled slightly and casually changed the topic, instructing him to recover his health and wait for a few days when he set up the monthsary banquet at home to have a few more drinks with him.

When Xue Pan's mouth was full, Sun Shaozong arched his hand to Aunt Xue and said, "Auntie, I have some mundane affairs with Brother Liu, and it's inconvenient to stay for a long time. We will come back another day to bother you.”

Although it could be said that after the Elephant Incident, they had a good relationship with the Xue family, it was still alright to have a simple chat. It would be a bit excessive to sit down and gossip with Aunt Xue.

Therefore, Sun Shaozong took a timely leave.

But Xue Pan has been suffocating in the past few days, and it was not easy to have someone to talk to. How would he just let them leave like this?

A stack of voices advised the two to stay and wait for lunch before leaving.

Wang quickly joined in, her watery peach blossom eyes spinning around, she only lacked the actions to frame Liu Xianglian and hang it in her boudoir.

Although Liu Xianglian was also a dissolute person, how could he tolerate this?

He had already endured hardly just now. Now, without waiting for Sun Shaozong to speak, he quickly shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "No, no, Second Brother is going to the Crown Prince's Residence. I also need to go back and arrange for the wedding. It's really too late. Let's bother again some other day.”

Seeing that the two of them had a strong intention to go, Xue Pan was helpless and couldn't stand up. He had to plead with him and say, "Mother, could you please send Second Brother and Brother Liu on behalf of me?”

This matter should actually be entrusted to Wang-Shi, but Wang-Shi's salivating appearance really made Xue Pan too lazy to pay attention to her.

Sun Shaozong hurriedly said, “I dare not trouble you, Aunt,” but Aunt Xue also repeatedly said, “The hosting is not good,” and rushed out together.

Outside the door, Sun Shaozong and Liu Xianglian couldn't help but stop when they saw the heavy rain pouring like a ladle. Although they also heard that the rain outside was getting heavier, they didn't expect it to be so heavy.

Sun Shaozong was pondering whether to borrow two rain gear first and make do with it before leaving the Xue Mansion or asking the servants of the Xue family to go outside to fetch his and Liu Xianglian's coir raincoats. Suddenly, he heard Aunt Xue exclaimed behind him.

Turning his head, he saw the woman dancing and jumping out of the door. Seeing her feet stumbling, she was about to roll down that step!

In a state of urgency, Sun Shaozong couldn't think too much. With his ape arm, he wrapped around Aunt Xue's body from behind. However, unfortunately, he was caught in the wet marks of his palm and grabbed it straight!

This was making a scene!

Sun Shaozong had a big heart and with a slight effort, he straightened Aunt Xue's plump and moderate body, then hurriedly withdrew his claws.

Fortunately, Aunt Xue was facing everyone with her back at this moment, and all of this happened suddenly, and no one noticed the mystery.

But these actions couldn’t be concealed from others, how could they be concealed from Aunt Xue, the party involved?

Especially with the last effort, Aunt Xue couldn't help but let out another coquettish cry, and her oval face turned red for the most part. Her heart pounded like a drum, and she instinctively raised her hand to cover it tightly.

Seeing her restless appearance, Sun Shaozong was afraid that he might reveal any clues and quickly asked, "Aunt, are you okay? How did you fall?”

“I... I'm fine.”

Aunt Xue suddenly regained her composure and stroked her hand on her chest, nervously avoiding Sun Shaozong's gaze. She turned her head and angrily said, "What's wrong with you? Why are you pushing me?”

Afterward, Wang leaned out from behind the curtain, and no longer saw her usual domineering demeanor. She said, "I... Just now, across the curtain, I didn't expect you to stop at the threshold…”

It turned out that she had just followed behind, with all her eyes over Liu Xianglian's back. Seeing the curtain hanging down and blocking her view, she hurriedly stepped forward and lifted the curtain, wanting to follow outside.

Coincidentally, Sun, Liu, and the two of them stopped at the porch, and Aunt Xue had to stop with one foot inside and one foot outside the door. As a result, they were hit from behind by Wang, and their left foot hit the threshold, causing her to lose her balance and fall forward.

Aunt Xue saw that she softened and didn't criticize much, so she had to turn around and give a greeting and say, "Thank you very much for your help just now.”

Being thankful, however, she didn’t dare to look Sun Shaozong in the eye. She only felt that her left chest was hot and swollen, like a cage drawer, steaming white bun. The heat poured into her head along the veins, muscles, and bones, and her cheeks were red and swollen like a chest.

Seeing this, how could Sun Shaozong dare to stay for a long time?

Quickly returning to the room, he picked up the two oiled paper umbrellas, which were not considered women's styles. He forcefully gave Liu Xianglian one and hurriedly left. Seeing Xue Pan's small courtyard and the corridors connecting the front and back, Sun Shaozong breathed a little sigh of relief.

“Second Brother.”

At this moment, Liu Xianglian suddenly sighed and said, "Aunt Xue's life has been quite difficult…”

“Huh?”

This endless sentence made Sun Shaozong feel uneasy again. He secretly said, It can’t be that this kid has seen anything, can he?

He then heard Liu Xianglian saying, "Look at how angry she has become just now. Her face has turned red, but she dare not blame that wealthy and noble woman, Wang. It's not easy to provoke her.”

As he spoke, he boasted and said, "Just like me, marrying someone with no background and great beauty is then the right thing.”

Sun Shaozong, "...”
