Chapter 751 A Good Show (Part 2)
At first, Aunt Xue's purpose of eavesdropping was just to find out whether the adulterous widow across the street was the person she guessed.
But what exactly would she hear if she put her ear to the wall? How could she actively filter it out?
At first, that oval face was full of doubt, but after listening for a while, it gradually became confused.
When the two people on the other side of the wall were getting into the mood, she couldn't help but feel her legs trembling as she listened. Her heart was stuck in her throat, and her cheeks were flushed red as fire and as rosy as clouds.
A long-lost sense of irritability surged in my chest, and it seemed as if it was about to burst out from the top of the mountain. Even the bulging sable cloak could hardly hold it back.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law..."
I don't know how long it had been, but suddenly I heard a few suppressed growls from a man next door.
The woman, who had been moaning sweetly all this time, now stopped saying anything and just hummed softly, as if she was trying hard to cover her mouth and nose.
The two noises were deeper and more muffled than the other, as if the person couldn't even breathe. But to Aunt Xue's ears, they brought a deep and unforgettable joy.
Aunt Xue's lips and teeth became dry, her chest felt stuffy and she felt short of breath. She almost couldn't help but speak out in response.
Fortunately, she still had some rationality in her heart, and quickly reached out to cover her mouth and nose, but she didn't know that she felt the same way, and she clamped every piece of skin on her body tightly...
It was unknown how much time had passed, but when Aunt Xue regained consciousness, the building behind the wall was already empty.
She slowly stood up against the wall, feeling the soreness and numbness in her limbs. She moved her hands and feet with a sense of loss, but she didn't expect that a lot of snow would fall off her shoulders.
Aunt Xue felt it was ridiculous to think that she had been listening in the corner for a long time in the heavy snow.
He quickly shook off the snow on his body and hid in the corridor not far away.
At the same time, a question lingered in my mind: Who were the two people who were having an affair just now?
The woman is easy to guess, and there is a 70% chance that she is Li Wan - now in this mansion, apart from herself, Li Wan is the only widow.
As for that man...
From beginning to end, Aunt Xue was unable to hear his accent clearly - the most genuine words of "sister-in-law" were difficult to distinguish because they contained too many repressed emotions.
If we talk about suspects, the first one is naturally the owner of this place, Sun Shaozong. After all, this is in his house, and it is very convenient to have an affair away from others.
However, it seems that Sun Shaozong and Li Wan have never had any dealings with each other. To be honest, I'm afraid their involvement is not as close as his with me.
The next people who are also suspicious are Jia Lian, Feng Ziying, and Liu Xianglian. Logically, these people should also call Li Wan sister-in-law.
But Jia Lian's character has changed greatly in recent years, and he almost never does anything to attract other women.
Like Sun Shaozong, Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian should have no chance to get close to Li Wan.
And then...
Baoyu!
If it is said that the one who is close to the water gets the moon first, who can compare to him, his brother-in-law?
The saying that there are many young and beautiful women around him is also consistent with Jia Baoyu's situation.
When it comes to attractiveness to women, my nephew is undoubtedly the best in every way.
Come to think of it!
The uncle and his sister-in-law lived in the same garden, without any elders to look after them. One was full of vigor and vitality, while the other was full of passion and enthusiasm. They saw each other every day and often responded to each other with poems.
It would be strange if nothing goes wrong after a long time!
Aunt Xue's blind guess made her suspect Baoyu, and her restlessness was immediately poured with a basin of cold water.
If the person just now was really Baoyu, then didn't I have misjudged him all these years?
If the person just now was really Baoyu, would I still dare to entrust my daughter to him?
Countless thoughts popped up in my mind, but were blown to pieces by the biting cold wind.
As her whole body trembled, she suddenly woke up. Now was not the time to think about these things. She had just left the table temporarily on the pretext of going to the bathroom.
Now that there has been no sign of him for a long time, my daughter must be getting impatient. If I ask the Sun family to send someone to look for him, wouldn’t I be in an even more embarrassing situation?
Thinking of this, Aunt Xue did not dare to delay and hurriedly found her way back to the east courtyard.
The stage was still bustling with activity, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief - although she could not hide it from her daughter, it was better to cover it up than to let everyone know.
"Mrs!"
A surprised voice gave Aunt Xue a chill. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw someone running up from behind. But it wasn't her daughter's personal maid Ying'er, so who else could it be?
Ying'er hurried over and complained in a low voice, "Madam, where on earth have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time, but I can't find any trace of you!"
"I...I just took the wrong path."
Aunt Xue hesitated and tried to answer perfunctorily, so how could she dare to let Ying'er ask any more questions?
He hurriedly pulled her into the corridor and sat down in his seat.
"Mother?"
As expected, Xue Baochai had been waiting anxiously. When she saw her mother, she quickly took her arm and asked quietly, "Where did you go just now? How did you..."
Aunt Xue hesitated for a moment, but still used the same excuse to make excuses: "I just took the wrong road. Fortunately, the play has not yet ended. Let's go to the play first."
As he said this, he pretended to be listening to the opera attentively.
After all, Aunt Xue had a good impression of Li Wan and even felt a sense of mutual admiration for her. Although she did not like Li Wan's affair, she could vaguely understand her behavior.
Therefore, I couldn't bear to spread the news and ruin her reputation and life.
How could Aunt Xue, who was full of worries, concentrate on reading "Romance of the West Chamber"?
After trying hard to hold it in for a while, he couldn't help but sneak a glance at Li Wan who was sitting at the next table.
Although Li Wan's every move seemed no different from usual, in the eyes of Aunt Xue, it always seemed unusual.
Especially between the eyebrows and eyes, I always feel that there is more spirit.
Even the skin seems to be more moisturized and radiant, and it looks bright and rosy.
Thinking of this, Aunt Xue raised her hand and touched the corner of her eyes. Although others thought she was still young and youthful, when she touched her eyes carefully, she could clearly see wrinkles on them.
After all, I haven't had any love from a man for more than ten years...
A sour thought popped up in her mind, but was quickly suppressed by Aunt Xue. She secretly warned herself that she was about to become a grandmother, and she should not have any absurd thoughts, even if it was just for the sake of her children and grandchildren.
Not only that, as an elder, I should try to persuade Li Wan to turn back!
Of course, we might as well make some indirect inquiries and see whether Baoyu is consistent in his words and deeds, or whether he is like his uncle, a reincarnated sex-obsessed evil spirit.
Having made up her mind secretly, Aunt Xue had planned to wait until the play was over before looking for an opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with Li Wan.
Who would have thought that before opened her mouth, Li Wan would come to her first...
