Chapter 479 Sending Guests Away
Although there is a corridor connecting the east and west wing rooms with the main hall, in order to avoid blocking the sunlight, the corridor is only as wide as two people standing shoulder to shoulder. If it was a gentle breeze and drizzle, it would be fine, but now it is raining heavily and the wind is blowing hard, and the narrow eaves can hardly block the sunlight.
“Yo!”
Wang cried out in exaggeration, poking her head in and complaining, "I just came in and said a few words, and it's raining so hard!"
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly lit up again, and she happily suggested to her mother-in-law, "Since God has invited us to stay, why not invite Lord Sun and Master Liu to have lunch at our house before leaving?"
This statement is reasonable, but coming from Wang's mouth, it always seems to have ill intentions.
Therefore, Aunt Xue ignored her and waited for Ying'er to hurriedly bring two paper umbrellas. Then she held up one of the yellow paper umbrellas and held it at her side like a shield, walking towards the main room along the wall.
Wang pursed her lips at her back, then quickly opened her umbrella and followed her closely.
When the two of them entered the main hall one after the other, before they could put away the paper umbrella , Sun Shaozong had already heard the noise from the inner room, and led Liu Xianglian out to greet them, bowing and greeting them as "Aunt".
"Nephews, there is no need to be so polite."
Aunt Xue quickly threw the paper umbrella to the ground, and held out her hand to support it, saying, "It's rare that you guys are still thinking of visiting Wenlong in such good weather."
"It's too late to find out, otherwise you should have come here earlier."
As Sun Shaozong spoke, he straightened his back and looked up, and suddenly found a faint wet mark shaped like a palm print on the charcoal red bodice.
this……
Could it be that I accidentally got it when I came here just now?
But the rest of her body was fine, why was only the lower part of her chest wet, and why was it that it was like five dragons holding up a peak, supporting half of her conscience?
Could it be that Xue Pan’s damn father already has green hair?
wrong!
Even if he wanted to steal someone, there was no reason for him to go to his son's yard specifically to steal someone.
It seems like it was just a coincidence.
Although Sun Shaozong was thinking randomly in his mind, he did not show it at all and respectfully welcomed the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law into the inner room.
Xue Panxing was leaning on the bed, looking skinny. Although he was out of breath, he still shouted excitedly, "Mother! I just heard my second brother say that Jinmen Prefecture has great potential. Don't you always complain that I am not doing my job properly? Today I have a serious idea. Let's just move 30% of our business staff in Jiangnan to Jinmen Prefecture first!"
Aunt Xue was immediately troubled when she heard this. According to her daughter's opinion, before the imperial succession was settled, it would not be appropriate for her family to have too many interests involved with the Sun family.
But her son had made up his mind as soon as he opened his mouth, and Sun Shaozong was well-intentioned. Even if Aunt Xue wanted to delay, she couldn't find a suitable reason.
At this moment when he was in a dilemma, Sun Shaozong had already seen some clues. Although he didn't know the reason, he still smiled and said, "I just said it casually. You should have thought about it carefully before making a decision. You are so impatient. Aren't you afraid of losing your money?"
"What are you afraid of!"
Xue Panhun said nonchalantly: "With your help, second brother, at least those filthy thieves from back home won't get away with it!"
Sun Shaozong smiled slightly and changed the subject casually, telling him to take good care of himself and wait until a full-month banquet was held at home in a few days, and then they would have a few drinks together.
After Xue Pan agreed, Sun Shaozong bowed to Aunt Xue and said, "Aunt, my brother Liu and I have some mundane matters to attend to, so we can't stay for long. Please come back another day to bother you."
Although after the elephant incident, he and the Xue family could be considered close friends, it was fine to chat for a few minutes when they met, but it would be a bit too much to sit down and chat with Aunt Xue.
That's why Sun Shaozong said goodbye and left at the right time.
But Xue Pan had been feeling depressed for the past few days. It was so hard to find someone to talk to, so how could he let them leave just like that?
He repeatedly urged the two to stay and have lunch before leaving.
Wang also hurried to join in, her watery peach blossom eyes rolling around, and she was just about to frame Liu Xianglian and hang him in her own boudoir.
Although Liu Xianglian was also a playboy, how could he bear this?
He had already endured a lot of fatigue just now, and now without waiting for Sun Shaozong to speak, he hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands: "No, no, my second brother has to go to the Prince's Mansion for business, and I have to go back to arrange the wedding. I really can't delay it. I'll come back another day, another day!"
Seeing that the two were determined to leave, Xue Pan had no choice but to ask, "Mother, please see my second brother and Brother Liu off for me."
This matter should actually be entrusted to Wang, but Wang's greedy look made Xue Pan too lazy to pay attention to her.
Sun Shaozong hurriedly said, "I dare not trouble you, aunt," but Aunt Xue kept saying, "I am sorry for the poor hospitality." The two of them continued talking in this way and filed out of the inner room together.
But when they got outside and saw the heavy rain, Sun Shaozong and Liu Xianglian couldn't help but stop - although they had heard that the rain outside was getting heavier, they didn't expect it to be so heavy.
Sun Shaozong was just thinking about whether to borrow two rain gears first and make do with them until he left Xue's house, or to ask Xue's servants to go outside to get raincoats for himself and Liu Xianglian, when he suddenly heard Aunt Xue exclaim "Oh!" behind him.
Turning around, I saw the woman rushing out of the door with her hands and feet dancing, and she was stumbling and about to roll down the stairs!
In a hurry, Sun Shaozong didn't have time to think too much. He stretched out his arms and put them around Aunt Xue's body from behind - but what a coincidence that he grabbed her body, right on the wet mark of the palm print, and grabbed her whole body!
What a fuss!
Sun Shaozong was greatly embarrassed. He exerted a little strength to straighten Aunt Xue's well-proportioned body, then hastily withdrew his claws.
Fortunately, Aunt Xue had her back to everyone at the time, and everything happened suddenly, so no one noticed anything strange.
But these actions could be hidden from others, but how could they be hidden from Aunt Xue, the person involved?
Especially with that last push, Aunt Xue couldn't help but let out another cry of "Aiya". Her oval face suddenly turned mostly red, her heart was beating like a drum, and she subconsciously raised her hand to cover it up.
Seeing her absent-minded appearance, Sun Shaozong was afraid that she would be exposed, so he hurriedly asked: "Aunt, are you okay? What happened just now?!"
"I...I'm fine."
Aunt Xue finally came to her senses. She stroked her chest with her hand, avoided Sun Shaozong's gaze in panic, turned around and said angrily: "What's wrong with you, kid? Why are you pushing me for no reason?!"
Wang poked her head out from behind the curtain. She no longer had her usual arrogance and said awkwardly, "I... just now, through the curtain, I didn't expect mother to stop at the threshold."
It turned out that she had been following behind, with her eyes full of Liu Xianglian's back. Seeing the curtain hanging down, blocking her view, she hurried forward to lift the curtain, wanting to follow him outside.
Just at this moment, Sun Liu and the other man stopped in the corridor. Aunt Xue had to stop as well, with one foot inside the door and the other outside. As a result, she was bumped by Wang from behind, and her left foot hit the threshold. She immediately lost her balance and fell forward.
Aunt Xue saw that she had rarely given in, so she couldn't blame her any more. She just turned around and bowed, saying, "Thank you, nephew, for your help just now."
Although she thanked him, she dared not look Sun Shaozong in the eye. She only felt her left chest swelling and hot, as if there was a steamer holding white flour buns in it. The heat rushed to her head along her veins and bones, making her cheeks as red as a bodice.
Seeing this, how could Sun Shaozong dare to stay any longer?
He hurried back to the house, picked up the two oil-paper umbrellas, and even though they were women's style, he forced one on Liu Xianglian. He then said goodbye in a hurry and left. Only when he left Xue Pan's courtyard and entered the corridor connecting the front and back did Sun Shaozong feel a little relieved.
"Second brother."
At this moment, Liu Xianglian suddenly sighed and said, "Aunt Xue's life is not easy either."
"ah?"
This random remark made Sun Shaozong feel uneasy again, and he thought to himself, could this kid have seen something?
Then Liu Xianglian said, "Look how angry she was just now. Her face turned red, but she didn't dare to blame Wang. This noble lady from a wealthy family is not to be messed with ."
Then he said smugly, "It's still right to do what I did, marry someone with no background but good looks!"
Sun Shaozong: “…”
