Chapter 93: Jealousy and Acceptance of Zhen Yinglian
But Xiangling arrived at the west gate of Rongguo Mansion holding a paper umbrella. Seeing Xue Pan and Sun Shaozong standing side by side in the doorway, she slowed down her pace a little, but immediately quickened her pace and entered the doorway again.
She put away the paper umbrella first, then stepped forward and bowed to Xue Pan, saying, "I'm afraid Xiangling will no longer be able to serve you in the future. Please take care of yourself and don't make the lady and the young lady worry again."
As a concubine who was given away by Xue Pan, the fact that she could say these words in front of her new master shows that she is a woman who values friendship and loyalty.
pity……
"Master, do I need a little rascal like you to teach me how to behave?"
Xue Pan waved his hands like he was shooing away a fly, and said impatiently, "Get in the car, get in the car, don't keep my second brother waiting for too long!"
Hearing that he was still so heartless, Xiangling's expression suddenly darkened. She lowered her head and waited to take the luggage from the servant.
Unexpectedly, a strong arm took the lead, picked up the two bags, put them gently into the carriage, and then handed them to her.
"Get in the car."
Although both asked her to get on the bus, the difference between the two was more than just the distance.
Xiangling hesitated for a moment, then carefully placed her hand in Sun Shaozong's palm and used his strength to get into the carriage.
"Goodbye."
Sun Shaozong turned around and bowed to Xue Pan, then got on the carriage.
When he opened the carriage curtain, he saw Xiangling wrapping a pair of embroidered shoes with cloth and carefully placing them in a corner. He knew she was afraid of dirtying the carriage, so he smiled and said, "We have our own maid in charge of laundry, so there's no need to be so cautious."
Hearing the words ' our house', Xiangling couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but she still said, "It's more convenient to wash a small piece of cloth than to change and wash a whole mattress. Besides, the carriage is cleaner, and Master will be more comfortable, right?"
This guy really knows how to serve others.
Sun Shaozong felt more and more that Xue Pan was blind... No, that's not right, if he was really blind, he wouldn't have insisted on taking Xiangling home.
While thinking about all these things, Sun Shaozong took off his wet boots. However, he was too lazy to wrap them with some scraps of cloth, so he simply lifted up the mattress in the carriage and stuffed his boots underneath.
Then he got into the car and leaned on the cushion, taking up most of the car.
"Hello~"
Zhang Cheng outside shouted, and the carriage started slowly and drove into the heavy rain.
Along the way, seeing Xiangling huddled in a corner like a quail, not daring to raise her head, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but reach out and gently lift her chin, looking at the diamond-shaped rouge mark between her eyebrows, and said in amazement: "You really chose the place for this birthmark on your forehead - but since there is such an obvious birthmark, it shouldn't be difficult to find your parents and family, right?"
Xiangling's body was shaking with nervousness, but when he asked about 'parents and family' and she didn't do anything excessive, she calmed down a little and forced a smile, saying, "The world is so big, and I don't remember anything from the past, how easy is it to find 'parents and family'? Besides, I'm used to it now, so you don't have to worry about me, Master."
“I see.”
Sun Shaozong released her chin and pretended to be disappointed and said, "Originally, I was thinking about going to the Ministry of Justice to look through the files of the missing case when I have time. Since you don't want to do that, then..."
"master!"
Before he could finish, Xiangling grabbed his wrist and said excitedly, "Can the Ministry of Justice really find out about my parents?!"
He just said there was no need to worry, but now he is so excited when he hears there is hope of finding his family. He is really a typical hypocrite.
"Although I'm not 100% sure, I'm still 80% sure." Sun Shaozong said, "According to the criminal law of this dynasty, any child under the age of ten who is abducted must have his files submitted to the Ministry of Justice for record, so that they can be easily checked later. For someone like you with an obvious birthmark, it shouldn't be difficult to find him."
In fact, with the ability of the Jia family, it is not difficult to go to the Ministry of Justice to check the files. It's just that no master in the Jia family is willing to do a favor for Xiangling.
Jia Baoyu might be an exception, but he has always regarded "economic career" as an enemy, so how could he know how to help?
Xiangling was so excited that she could hardly control herself after hearing what he said. She shrank back and knocked her head to the ground. She said in a trembling voice, "Master, please have mercy on me and help me investigate this! No matter what the final result is, I will serve you wholeheartedly in the future!"
"Since you have entered my Sun family, it is my duty as the master to help you find your family - come on, come on, stand up and talk first."
As he spoke, Sun Shaozong reached out to help Xiangling.
But maybe it was because he had just drunk a few cups of yellow soup, the hand lost its accuracy, slid down three inches along the collarbone, and suddenly grabbed it, grabbing Xiangling so hard that she whimpered. Not only was she not helped up by Sun Shaozong, but she fell softly into his arms.
The sound of rain on the roof completely covered up the unspeakable and unrecountable trivialities in the car.
--Dividing line--
Sun Mansion, East Courtyard.
Ruan Rong circled Xiangling three times, staring at her until Xiangling's heart was trembling and she was at a loss. Then she smiled and said, "I told the master that my sister was well-behaved and sensible that day, but I didn't expect that he would really ask for my sister - well, let's just make the best of it now."
As she spoke, she called to the maid, "Shi Liu, take Sister Xiang Ling to the west wing and settle her down."
Xiangling then bowed and left as if she had been pardoned.
When she left the room, Ruan Rong glared at Sun Shaozong and said with a half-smile, "Master has endured this for a long time, and today he finally got what he wanted."
Women are indeed fickle creatures!
A few days ago, she had urged Sun Shaozong to take a concubine to help him get through the pregnancy period, but now...
Sun Shaozong laughed, walked forward and carefully put his arms around her waist: "What, are you jealous?"
"Jealous?"
Ruan Rong curled her lips and immediately raised her voice, "Furong, go and help tidy up the west wing so that it can be used as a wedding room for the master tonight!"
“Wait!”
Seeing that the ignorant Furong was about to follow orders, Sun Shaozong hurriedly stopped her and said with a smile: "How can I be so impatient? Let her serve you in your room first. When your jealousy subsides, we can decide whether to take her in or not."
Ruan Rong glanced at him sideways again and said coldly, "What if I never get over my jealousy?"
Sun Shaozong said without hesitation: "Then let her be an ordinary maid for the rest of her life!"
“Pah~!”
Ruan Rong spat fiercely, but her face was full of smiles: "It's not me who will be in trouble in the future, I don't want to be a bad person! You can be quiet whenever you want, just don't be so annoying in front of me!"
