Chapter 106: The Chaos Starts
The 10th day of August.
Seeing that the Mid Autumn Festival was coming, and the construction of the courtyard for a home visit was coming to an end, the Rongguo Mansion was busy all over the place, not to mention the one who had errands, even the idle and lazy people have to pretend they’re busy.
However, Liwan had nothing to do with all this because she could not be favored by Madam Wang. She had no real power in her hands as the Eldest Mistress in the family. If she really had to calculate it, she was afraid that she could afford the words "rich, noble, and idle" more than Jia Baoyu.
That morning, Liwan was sitting in front of the Buddhist shrine and meditating on the Sutra when someone outside smiled like a silver bell and said, "Whoa, Eldest Madam, your posture looks so dignified, like the Guanyin. I didn't recognize you at first glance."
Liwan looked back and saw Ping’er standing outside the door. She quickly got up and welcomed her. She smiled and said, "If I worship the Buddha at will, I will become the Goddess of Mercy. Then, if your Master gives orders all day long, isn't he going to be Wu Zetian?"
She talked and laughed, and then pulled Ping’er into the door.
Ping’er refused. She slightly avoided sideways and smiled, "Aunt Lai sent a parrot to the Old Lady. The little beak was very pleasing. The Old Lady asked people to call all the children to have a look. Now that the Second Master Bao has arrived, only you are left."
Hearing that it was Jia's mother who invited her, Liwan naturally did not dare to snub her. She hurriedly called Suyun, the eldest maid, and followed Ping’er out of the yard.
Unexpectedly, after leaving the courtyard, a servant girl was waiting outside, and it was Wang Xifeng's second-class servant girl, Sister Shan.
"Huh?"
Liwan suddenly wondered, "Why did she send two here at the same time?"
"She just came back from the other side of the yard and happened to bump into me, so she joined us."
Ping’er perfunctorily replied, which was not a big deal, so Liwan didn’t go into it.
The four of them were talking and laughing all the way. Seeing that they were in front of the two doors, Ping'er suddenly stopped and said, "Ah! Look at my memory, my Second Madam asked me to take a cloak. I forgot everything!"
With these words, Liwan, the Master, and the servant were asked to wait here for a moment, and then she went to fetch the cloak in a hurry.
Liwan watched Ping’er's back disappear around the corner, wondering why she didn't let her Sister Shan run errands, but she had to work herself, but suddenly she was pulled at the corners of her clothes.
Looking back, she saw that Suyun's eyes were like autumn water and her cheeks were like a flying rainbow. She secretly pointed to the flower bed beside and whispered, "That book was found here, Eldest Madam."
This little hoof!
Liwan, of course, knew what she was talking about. Her heart jumped with fright for a moment, and she looked at the good girl out of the corner of her eyes. It was a relief to see that she was looking at the two doors intently, not noticing Suyun's little movements.
It was she who dragged this girl into the matter to stop Suyun's mouth.
Who knew that the little hoof was more interested in this than Liwan and that she would take the initiative to tease her and do some pleasure matters of being homosexual?
But how could such things be revealed in front of people?
Reaching out her hand and pinching Suyun's waist, Liwan whispered angrily, "You little hoof, it’s fine if you are unbridled at home. If you dare to talk nonsense outside, I will tear your mouth!"
Who knew that Suyun had been much braver since she had been homosexual with her? She didn't take Liwan's threats seriously but listened to them, jokingly saying, "I don't know whether the Eldest Madam wants to tear them down or not."
"Huh?"
As soon as she said half of her shameless words, a man's voice suddenly came out in front of her. The two servants hurried to follow the orders. They saw a man standing upright on the two doorsteps, but who else could he be if it was not Sun Shaozong?
Six eyes were facing each other, and Liwan's heart was suddenly beating hard, which was needless to say.
But Suyun's face was as hot as charcoal!
After the Master and servant opened their hearts, the origin of the book "The Strange Case,” and Liwan's thoughts about Sun Shaozong naturally could not be concealed.
It happened that Suyun was also considerate, so she had to add some role-playing when playing at night.
Now, seeing the ”male lead” suddenly appeared in front of them, how could the Master and the servant not be ashamed of that absurd behavior?
When Sun Shaozong saw that her servants were very shy, he immediately remembered the love poem.
Although he had made up his mind for a long time that he would never have anything to do with the eldest daughter of the Jia family.
But seeing that Liwan was shy now, he was buried between the two peaks. It was precisely because of her mature and romantic charm, coupled with her coy and gentle appearance with her head lowered. How could he keep his wild thoughts tied?
A pair of eyes then whirled around Liwan's body, straight like two fiery balls. Liwan's heart was as hot as a deer's.
"Who are you?!"
At this moment, someone suddenly jumped out of the room and stopped between them, chiding, "How dare you look at my Eldest Madam with a pair of sly eyes when you bumped into her?!"
This person was none other than Wang Xifeng's servant girl, Sister Shan.
And her sudden voice made both sides embarrassed immediately.
In particular, the Master and servant of Liwan did not know what to do, but Zhou Rui, the steward, suddenly appeared behind Sun Shaozong. He pointed at Sister Shan and shouted, "What are you talking about? Lord Sun is the guest invited by Second Master Lian. Is he someone you can shout at?"
He then apologized to Liwan and said, "I'm a little slow here and bumped into the Eldest Madam. Please forgive me."
When Liwan got to this step, she leaned over and forced a smile. "It's okay," she said. "We are waiting here too and bumped into Lord Sun."
With these words, she led Suyun and Sister Shan back to one side and motioned for Sun Shaozong to go first.
Although she still had the shyness about lowering her head in her heart, Sun Shaozong didn't want to stay any longer, so he had to pretend that nothing had happened and walked with Zhou Rui to a flower hall in the east.
Liwan peered at his back, and she was very disappointed.
"Eh, what’s wrong with Eldest Madam?"
At this time, she heard a strange saying, "How can you turn so red in the twinkling of an eye?"
Only then did Liwan discover that Ping'er had arrived some time ago with a food box in her hand, in addition to a scarlet cloak.
Afraid of Ping'er's careful inquiry, she hastened, "Why did you go for so long? Hurry, don't let the old Lady wait for so long!"
With that, she couldn’t wait to pull Ping'er with her.
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry!"
Liwan hurriedly turned aside again, handed the box forward, and said, "I have a job to tell you, Sister Shan, please take it to the Second Madam later. Don't delay!"
The kind-hearted Sister Shan answered solemnly. Her eyebrows were rather solemn and excited. It was not as simple as giving a food box.
It's a pity that Liwan was now bent on covering up the embarrassing situation, so how could she still observe the others?
While waiting for Sister Shan to take the food box, she urged Ping’er to go to Jia's mother with a cascade of sounds.
