Chapter 625: Glazed World: White Snow and Red Plum Blossoms (VI)
Seeing Aunt Xue screaming, Sun Shaozong immediately backed off.
You have to know that this forest is not far from Daoxiang Village. If those young girls really came here following the sound and saw Aunt Xue's embarrassed and panicked appearance, even if Sun Shaozong had a lot of mouths, he would find it difficult to prove his innocence.
The best option right now is probably to retreat!
Of course, you have to at least say a few polite words before leaving. Otherwise, what would it mean if you just run away without saying a word?
So Sun Shaozong asked with concern: "Aunt, are you hurt anywhere?"
As soon as the voice fell, Aunt Xue stopped screaming, turned around with one hand covering her chest, her face was first full of panic and fear, then turned into confusion and puzzlement, and finally her cheeks suddenly flushed, and she stammered: "I... I'm fine."
This series of expression changes...
Oh my god!
Could it be that this woman just mistakenly thought that I had torn off her cloak? !
Sun Shaozong was speechless, but then he felt lucky - fortunately he didn't run away, otherwise he would have been blamed for it.
But now is not the time to delve into it.
Sun Shaozong pretended not to notice and said seriously, "Since Auntie is alright, I will take my leave first. Otherwise, if someone with a dirty heart sees me, I won't be able to explain myself clearly."
Having said this, he bowed to Aunt Xue and left.
Seeing the edge of the woods, Sun Shaozong slowed down his pace. Just as he was about to check if anyone had come on the path, he suddenly heard Aunt Xue calling out from behind, "Erlang, please stay! Erlang, please stay!"
Damn~
If someone hears this, what's the point of running to the ends of the earth?
Seeing that there was no one around, Sun Shaozong hurriedly turned back and reminded silently: "Aunt, please shut up. If someone hears..."
Halfway through his words, he got stuck.
But all he saw was Aunt Xue pulling at her cloak and wrestling desperately with a small tree in the shade of the trees.
The Tang-style palace dress that originally tightly outlined her voluptuous figure was now loose and scattered, completely losing the effect of restricting her chest.
As a result, the small tree swayed three points, and her body swayed seven points as well - the momentum was so great that it could not be described even by the ups and downs of mountains.
However, this earth-shaking scene only lasted for a moment in front of Sun Shaozong's eyes before it was blocked by Aunt Xue's horizontal arm.
As there were fewer scenes that could affect a man's IQ, Sun Shaozong immediately came to his senses.
No wonder she was in a hurry to call me back. It turned out that the tassels on the edge of her cloak were tangled in a knot on the tree branch, and Aunt Xue couldn't pull them off with all her strength.
At this time, Aunt Xue took two steps back in embarrassment and said, "Erlang, please take off this cloak so that I can cover myself up a little."
What else can Sun Shaozong say?
He walked quickly over, broke the thumb-thick branch into several pieces, then shook off the dust and snow on its fur before handing it to Aunt Xue.
"Thank you, Jiro!"
Aunt Xue hurriedly took it in her hand, turned around and wrapped the cloak around herself again, saying awkwardly, "Erlang, aren't you afraid of being misunderstood? Right now, I... don't have anything else to trouble you with."
This is really the case of 'using people forward and not using people backward'!
But this is not a good place, and we cannot stay here for long.
So Sun Shaozong responded and prepared to set off in the opposite direction.
But after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned around and said, "Aunt, you'd better not stay here any longer. After all, these footprints are obviously from two people. If someone is thoughtful, they might figure out something."
After saying this, he strode away.
Watching Sun Shaozong's back gradually going away, Aunt Xue lowered her head and glanced at the chaotic footprints. She didn't know what came to her mind, but she blushed and spat, then hurried out of the woods in the opposite direction.
She originally wanted to go to her daughter's Hengwu Garden to change into a set of spare clothes.
But in order to avoid being noticed by her daughter, she often paid tribute to her late husband in private, and she deliberately chose a remote place, which was quite far away from Hengwu Garden.
Unfortunately, the laces of the cloak broke just now, so it was leaking air while walking, which was really inconvenient.
So after a little thought, Aunt Xue decided to go to Li Wan's Daoxiang Village for help.
But how could she know how lively Daoxiang Village is now?
By the time he entered the yard and saw the girls playing in the corridor, it was too late to regret.
"aunt!"
The first person to notice that something was wrong with her was Jia Baoyu, who had rushed over to pick on her. He ran over and saw Aunt Xue's miserable state. He couldn't help but shout, "What's wrong with you?"
When he called out, all the sisters naturally gathered around him and asked him questions.
“It’s no big deal.”
Aunt Xue wrapped herself tightly in her cloak and tried to maintain a smile as she said, "The tassel on this cloak is really in the way. It got tangled in a tree just now and nearly made me fall."
She thought she had concealed it well, but a few smart ones had already seen something wrong from her stiff smile.
After all, Xue Baochai was her biological daughter, so she hurriedly helped her to the inner room and asked her what was going on when no one was paying attention.
Aunt Xue did not dare to mention the fact that she had just been embarrassed in front of Sun Shaozong. She just awkwardly opened her cloak a little, revealing the palace skirt underneath which was also torn.
Seeing this, Xue Baochai was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but was also afraid that she would embarrass herself in front of outsiders, so she hurriedly took her to Li Wan, told her what had happened, and asked her to find a larger coat to replace the broken cloak.
Then Xue Baochai went out again, called her personal maid Ying'er, and asked her to go back to Hengwu Garden and bring back Aunt Xue's clothes.
Seeing that some of her sisters looked suspicious, Xue Baochai was afraid that everyone would make wild guesses and affect her mother's reputation, so she briefly told them the truth.
Although they found it somewhat funny, they did not want to make fun of their elders in front of her and her daughter, so the atmosphere became awkward for a moment.
Only Baoyu clapped his hands and laughed, saying, "Aunt, this is a blessing in disguise. When Brother Sun arrives, let her and the eldest sister-in-law rule the country from behind the curtain. Wouldn't it be a hundred times better than staying at home bored?"
Aunt Xue was inside, and had just changed into a dolomite double-breasted jacket when she suddenly heard people outside talking about Sun Shaozong. She hurriedly asked Li Wan what was going on, and only then did she learn that Sun Shaozong was also going to come to the Daoxiang Village.
Then the image of himself and Sun Shaozong being alone in the woods unconsciously emerged in his mind.
Especially when she recalled the second time Sun Shaozong came back with that cunning look in his eyes, Aunt Xue's face gradually became hot.
He glanced at Li Wan beside him guiltily, but unexpectedly his eyes met Li Wan's.
The two of them quickly averted their eyes, but couldn't help but wonder in their hearts: Why is her face so full of emotion? She doesn't look like a pure and simple widow at all.
