The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

It might not be easy if the Third Lady You wanted to keep up with Sun Shaozong's footsteps in normal times.

Fortunately, today was the Dragon Boat Festival, and the streets were filled with people who were unable to walk fast.

Moreover, Sun Shaozong's majestic figure stood out like a lighthouse in the crowd, preventing Third Sister You from losing him.

Just like this, she followed him to the vicinity of Jishui Pond and suddenly saw a complete set of officials' ceremonial guards parked in front of him. Two sedan bearers greeted Sun Shaozong politely as he walked up to the sedan chair.

It turned out that he disliked the stuffiness in the sedan chair, so he came down and walked around casually!

Looking at the appearance of the entire formation of the ceremonial guards, one knew that they must be hosting this year's Dragon Boat Festival.

But in this way, where else could she catch any of his shortcomings??

Third Sister You suddenly became depressed, but as she watched the official sedan chair tremble and rise, she hesitated and followed around. She had originally wanted to watch the Dragon Boat Festival before sneaking out of her house.

Along the way, she followed the official sedan chair and circled to the north bank of Jishui Pond, where she saw an increasing tide of people.

Especially wherever the official sedan chair went, the people had to retreat from each other, and even more so, people were piled up and crowded. For a moment, she didn’t know how many women with thin spring clothes were screaming and cursing there.

Of course, some young and handsome men were taken advantage of.

Especially the ones who were gay, but it was just a deep sense of satisfaction in the heart.

And those who appeared feminine on the outside but were ”masculine and virtuous” inside couldn’t help but burst into a rage, swinging their fists and smashing the other party!

Seeing the chaos in front of her, Third Lady You couldn't help but stop and plan to wait for the commotion caused by the official sedan to pass before continuing on the road.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she stopped there, Sun Shaozong also stopped the official sedan. Immediately, an official with a waist knife in his hand shouted into the crowd, "Young Master Liu, My Lord in charge of governance, called for you to come close and speak.”

It turned out that the person who started hitting people was not someone else; it was Liu Xianglian, who loved to gather excitement the most.

As soon as he heard the word ”Governance,” Liu Xianglian knew that Sun Shaozong was in front and casually pushed the fag, then separated from the crowd and stepped out.

As he walked out, Third Sister You almost stopped breathing, and her heart was pounding, as if it were about to jump out of her throat. Her mind was filled with only one thought, “I never thought there could be such a jade prince in the world!”

Seeing that Liu Xianglian and Sun Shaozong spoke neither lowly nor overbearingly, their behavior was free and easy, and they were not as frivolous as Jia Rong and Jia Qiang. Her heart was even fluttering.

She secretly thought that if she could make an alliance between the two families through marriage, she would have nothing else to ask for in her life!

But she looked at it for a long time, only to see that the white jade Prince had also infiltrated Sun Shaozong's team, heading towards the altar.

Third Sister You hurriedly chased after them as if she were struggling for her life. However, when she arrived at the altar, there were naturally officers and soldiers who had already pulled up the human wall. Sun Shaozong's official sedan chair could be unobstructed, but how could she, as a commoner with a flat head, break through?

Seeing Sun Shaozong getting off the sedan chair and entering the attic with Liu Xianglian laughing and chatting, Third Sister You gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, then suddenly turned around and squeezed out again.

After finally getting out of the Jushui Pond, she didn't go home to change her clothes but went straight to the Ningguo Mansion, shouting to see You-Shi.

You-Shi heard that she came disguised as a man and thought something happened to her stepmother. She hurriedly called her in.

Unexpectedly, before she could even ask anything, Third Sister You rushed to say, "Big sister, when I went to see the Dragon Boat Festival today, I happened to have a young master in my heart. If I couldn't marry him, I would have lived in vain in this life. I just hope Big Sister can do me a good job and make sure to fulfill this wish for me.”

As she spoke, she solemnly said a thousand blessings to You-Shi.

Although You-Shi had known such a young girl to be bold and unrestrained, she was still stunned when she heard these words!

After a while, she put up a posture on her face and scolded, "What kind of crazy talk are you talking about? Since ancient times, men and women have married according to the orders of their parents and the words of matchmakers. How could you be confused and fall in love with someone on the street?

Third Sister You didn't hesitate to say, "That young master's family background and character, my mother will definitely like it! As long as my mother agrees, this matter will be justified, won't it?”

Was there no need to choose between family background and character?

You-Shi frowned and said, "Didn't you just say that you happened to meet that person on the road? How do you know his family background and character? Did he tell you? How do you know he's not a fraud?”

However, Third Sister You still spoke confidently and said, "I saw that young master talking and laughing with Lord Sun of the Central Judicial Office. Since he can be friends with Lord Sun, how can this family's lineage and character be inferior?”

There was some truth to this statement. As the saying goes, ”Birds of a feather flock together.” As a young and famous official like Sun Shaozong, the friends he socialized with naturally have social backgrounds.

Therefore, You-Shi asked again, "What is his name?”

“I don't know his name; I only heard someone call him “Young Master Liu.”

“Young Master Liu?”

After a moment of contemplation, You immediately thought of Liu Xianglian and secretly said that the Young Master Liu was famous for his good appearance. It was not surprising that her sister was fascinated by him.

It was just that…

She heard that the Young Master Liu was the most aloof and proud person. He might not be able to look up to her.

“What if he doesn't like you?”

The Third Lady You only had one mind, all focused on Liu Xianglian. Upon hearing this, she immediately said, "If he doesn't look up to me, I will guard him for a lifetime.”

“Guard him for a lifetime?”

You-Shi couldn't help but sneer and say, "Now that you think of protecting your reputation, perhaps it's already too late? Lord Sun stayed at our house all night…

Speaking of this, You-Shi couldn't help blushing. Fortunately, the Third Lady You didn't notice any flaws, so she continued, "What if he heard about your debauchery earlier? He and Young Master Liu are close friends, and with just a few words, Young Master Liu is afraid to avoid you.”

Hmm…

Upon hearing this, Third Sister You became increasingly regretful. Although she and her sister had not yet been taken over by Jia Zhen's father and son, her flirtatious and dissolute language and behavior had long been seen by people.

After walking back and forth in the room a few times, she suddenly asked again, "So, if Lord Sun could say something good for me, wouldn't Young Master Liu believe it?”

“Naturally.”

You-Shi nodded and then doubted, "But how can you let Lord Sun speak up for you in front of Young Master Liu?”

Hmph~

Third Lady You disdained and snorted coldly, "Men, as long as you hang some sweets and ask them to do something beneficial without any cost, what's the difficulty?”

“What are you going to do?”

You-Shi was shocked and said, "You just said you wanted to guard over Young Master Liu for a lifetime; you can’t…”

It was not that You-Shi liked to think about it, mainly because the sweetness that Third Lady You could take now was probably only her petite body.

“I naturally want to guard my virginity for Young Master Liu; isn't there Second Sister?" Third Lady You said without hesitation, "With her obedient nature, she will have to feed these two starving wolves in your family sooner or later. Instead of that, it would be better to give her to Lord Sun.”

You-Shi was once again stunned by her. To marry her lover smoothly, such a girl didn’t hesitate to betray her own sister!

This was really…

“Haha…”

At this moment, as soon as the door curtain was lifted, Jia Zhen came in happily from outside and said with a playful smile, "Why didn't you speak to me coming here, Third Lady You? Was it that you felt separated from me after not seeing each other for a few days?”

Spat~

Third Sister You spat fiercely. Without saying a word, she picked up the scissors in the sewing box. She said with a stern expression, "Jia Zhen, from today on, you'd better show me some respect.”

Jia Zhen was startled at first, but then he remembered that she had always liked to do some outrageous things, and it was common for her to be cold and hot at times. He then joked and said, "Who made you angry again? Tell me quickly, so that I can vent your anger on your behalf.”

“I told you to show some respect!”

As soon as Third Lady You spoke, she simply pulled a strand of hair from the back of her neck, cut it off with a click, and threw it to Jia Zhen, saying, "I'll cut my hair today as proof. If you dare to be indecisive again, only one of us can survive.”

As she spoke, she pushed the scissors toward Jia Zhen's chest and exclaimed, "A good dog is not in the way; get out of my way!”

Jia Zhen saw that she didn't seem to be joking, and his heart trembled as he instinctively gave way.

After Third Sister You walked out with a pair of scissors in her hand, he angrily said, "What's wrong with this crazy girl? Is it because she has fallen into evil?”
