Chapter 125: Marry Two
"Madam, I'm going back to the East Mansion first. We still need to take care of him there. Brother Bao will be kept here for now. But it's best to find time to go over and show up, so that the servants won't gossip!"
After saying this, Jia Cong was too lazy to pay attention to Wang. He just said hello to Jia Zheng and left.
The fact that Baoyu was beaten could not be concealed. After all, Jia Zheng had him escorted all the way to Mengpo Zhai and was seen by many people. In the afternoon, all the sisters, except Xichun who was in the East Palace, came to visit.
"Brother Bao, how are you?" Daiyu asked.
Baoyu lay on the bed with a sad face, while Xiren and Sheyue were taking care of him.
" Sister , I'm afraid I won't be able to survive..."
"Brother Bao, don't talk nonsense!" Tanchun stepped forward. "It's just that father gave him a beating. He will be fine after a while. Don't say such nonsense that he will die."
"Hmph!" Xiangyun snorted, "Second Brother Bao was wrong in the first place and deserves to be beaten. Third Brother and Second Brother Lian have been busy day and night these days. It would be fine if Second Brother Bao didn't help, but he also angered Uncle..."
Although Xiangyun's words were unpleasant, Baoyu felt it was a rare enjoyment to have all the sisters surrounding him!
At this time, Baochai said calmly, "I heard that Brother Bao was just beaten a few times by his uncle, I think it's nothing serious! Before the incident in the East Palace, Brother Cong led people in a life-and-death fight and was stabbed. It has been five or six days, not only have I not heard Brother Cong cry, but the things in the past few days have not been delayed at all."
One sentence made everyone fall silent.
Yes, they almost forgot that Jia Cong was actually injured, and the injury was bloody. However, he was busy in the two mansions these days, day and night, and never mentioned any injuries? Look at Baoyu now, he was just beaten with a few sticks...
"Why did you bring up that murderer!" Baoyu said angrily, "I was beaten by my father, and instead of comforting me, you ridiculed me! I might as well die, so that you don't have to see me and it bothers you!"
"Bao girl, how can Baoyu compare with third brother! Third brother is a peerless warrior, and Baoyu is weak..." Daiyu sighed in her heart and said something.
"What Lin said is really strange!" Baochai laughed, "Is Brother Cong a man of steel? He is not born of flesh and blood? Or is Brother Cong so stupid that he doesn't feel pain? In the end, it's just that I should do more things so that the elders can have more time, take good care of everything inside and outside, and not lose face for the whole family."
"But it's not surprising. Brother Bao was born with jade in his mouth, so naturally people will feel sorry for him. How can Brother Cong compare to him?"
Baochai was on fire today, and even Daiyu didn't give her face! These days, Baochai didn't know how worried she was about Jia Cong, but Jia Cong was busy in the East Palace, and it was not suitable for her to go there, so she could only let her brother run twice more. Seeing that Baoyu was just beaten a few times, Baochai felt extremely unbalanced. Did Cong owe you? Why is the gap so big!
"I think it's okay for Brother Bao to come. I won't keep you any longer. Let's talk again another day when you're better!" Baochai left with these words and turned away with Ying'er.
Daiyu was just trying to help out, but she didn't expect to be directly confronted by Baochai.
"Humph!" Daiyu stamped her feet in anger, " Who is feeling sorry for me?"
After saying that, he just left!
Xiangyun was worried and chased after him, leaving Yingchun and Tanchun staring at each other, but they had no choice but to stay behind...
But Daiyu went back to her room and fell on the couch and sobbed! How could she not feel sorry for Jia Cong? It was just that Baochai obviously had a special relationship with Jia Cong, but Jia Cong did not treat her much differently, at least not as well as Baochai! Jia Cong was in the East Mansion these days, and she had no reason to go there. Even if she was worried about him, what could she do?
"Meet Miss Smith!"
Xiangyun entered the room, went forward and hugged Daiyu and said, "Sister Lin, Bao girl must have been worried about Third Brother these days, so she spoke nonsense. And compared with Third Brother, Second Brother Bao is indeed too much."
"Is it possible that she, the precious girl, is worried about Third Brother? Third Brother saved my father, so I am ungrateful? Third Brother was injured, so I don't care about him? But Third Brother has been busy in the East Palace these days, how can I go there?"
Xiangyun was listening, but her eyes lit up. Did she accidentally eat a big melon? Originally, after Daiyu went back to Yangzhou last year, the sisters felt that she treated Jia Cong differently, but Daiyu was tight-lipped and could not be asked the reason. Unexpectedly, there was also this "favor of saving her father?"
"Girl Lin, you said that third brother saved Uncle Lin? Wasn't third brother guarding the border before?" Xiangyun asked with great curiosity.
Daiyu, who was originally feeling sad, exclaimed in surprise. She actually let the cat out of the bag?
"No, you heard it wrong!" Daiyu didn't even bother to cry and covered her face with a handkerchief out of shame.
Xiangyun laughed strangely, hooked her finger under Daiyu's chin and said, "Young lady, why don't you come here quickly? Otherwise, don't blame me for punishing you severely!"
"You heard it wrong, what's the point of not admitting it?"
"Did you hear it wrong? That's fine, I'll tell the sisters about this matter and let them help me figure it out!"
"Don't say that!" Daiyu was embarrassed and anxious.
"Hmph, girl Lin, don't blame me for not giving you a chance! Should you confess and get a lighter sentence, or should I go and talk to the sisters? Think about it yourself!"
Daiyu bit her red lips and whispered after a while, "My dear sister, let me tell you, you are not allowed to tell anyone else."
"Don't worry!" Xiangyun patted her chest immediately, "Everyone knows that I keep my mouth shut!"
As he said this, he hugged Daiyu again, and the two of them huddled on the bed, "Lin girl, tell me quickly!"
Daiyu pulled the quilt to cover herself, and then whispered to Xiangyun, with Xiangyun's occasional exclamations in her voice.
After a long while, the two of them finally crawled out from under the quilt!
Xiangyun rolled her eyes and said, "It's said in the storybook that a young girl should pledge her love to a man who saved her father. Girl Lin, do you want to pledge your love to Third Brother?"
"Yun girl, I know you are not a good person!" Daiyu said, pulling her handkerchief, "How can you talk nonsense? Don't you know how Bao girl feels about Third Brother? If Bao girl hears it, I don't know what unpleasant things she will say."
"Oh!" Xiangyun nodded, "It turns out that it's not that Lin doesn't want to, but that she misses Sister Bao."
Before Daiyu could speak, Xiangyun leaned over to Daiyu's ear and whispered, "Lin girl , things are different now than before. The ancestors have said that although Third Brother is adopted by the East Mansion, he will also inherit his own lineage! In this way, Third Brother can marry two wives, two!"
