The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 171: For the Offspring, The Person who Repays Good with Evil Remarry

Sun Shaozong thought that Emperor Guangde was taking advantage of the opportunity to make money when the entire He family was executed.

It was not until the chaos of the birthday party that he finally knew that Prince Yizhong had been banned and had many cards in his hands!

It was needless to say that the Northern Town Dragon Guards would not be absent from the Imperial Palace! He was afraid his remaining party was indispensable in the palace too.

With such a great enemy lying beside the couch, Emperor Guangde could not kill him because of the protection of the Supreme Emperor.

However, after the Emperor’s Birthday Banquet, Sun Shaozong thought that there would be another bloody storm against the rescue operation that night. However, after several days of waiting, the court was calm.

Not only that, but Emperor Guangde also gave many orders to bestow rewards, and the whole city was full of jubilant scenes.

Among them, the most eye-catching one was naturally the thirteenth concubine in Enzhun Palace who would go home to visit her relatives on the fifteenth day of the first month next year.

As for the inconspicuous intentions, there were many.

For example, the news that Sun Shaozong was promoted to the office of Northern Town Dragon Guards—after the Emperor’s birthday, the military post has been restructured—has attracted little attention from old friends and relatives of the Sun family.

Of course, even if they noticed it, they might not care. After all, who didn’t know that the position of the Central Judicial Office was already in his pocket?

In contrast, a false name of the leader of the Northern Town Dragon Guards without real power was really nothing.

Therefore, Sun Shaozong did not celebrate.

After a few days of peacefulness, Sun Shaozong went home in the evening and laid down on the couch in the hall with Ruan Rong as usual, chatting and massaging her swollen legs.

While chatting, Sun Shaozong found Ruan Rong's hesitation. After a little thought, he reluctantly promised, "If you have to go to the temple for a visit to feel secure, I will accompany you to worship when you take a rest next time."

"You promised."

Ruan Rong covered her mouth with a smile but waved her hand to the servant girls on both sides. She said, "Go back to the room and have a rest. If I need anything, I'll call you back."

Shi Liu agreed and led several small maids out.

Sun Shaozong was curious. He sat up straight and asked, "Why, is it not this that you want to tell me?"

If she just wanted to talk about going to the temple to ask for a son, she didn’t need to instruct the servant girls to leave.

"That's not what I want to say..."

Ruan Rong shook her head slightly and said with a straight face, "Did you know that Big Brother seems unhappy recently?"

Elder brother is unhappy?

Sun Shaozong hasn’t really noticed it. Two days ago, when he was taking care of the three younger generations, he looked at him as if he was very happy. He still said that the mansion was livelier.

"What did the concubines who came to visit tell you?"

If Ruan Rong and her Elder Brother had a way of meeting, it was naturally the concubines who came to visit in the morning.

Ruan Rong shook her head and said, "They didn't say anything, but they were all injured. I asked them a few questions, but they just cried."

Although his Elder Brother liked to play with heavy tastes, it was quite rare to get such an exaggeration.

They even cried.

Sun Shaozong immediately put on his shoes and said, "I will go to my Elder brother's place and won’t be back to eat at night. Let Xiangling and her mother accompany you."

Ruan Rong didn't have any objection, but she said, "Don't let him know that you know it from me, or those people will have to suffer again."

"I understand."

Sun Shaozong answered and went straight out of the house.

The two brothers lived not far away. He hurried to the main courtyard in the north. He happened to catch several small servant girls in the kitchen, so he directly asked them to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and then asked, "Where is the Big Master? Is he in the room or..."

"He is at Concubine Ni place in the East Chamber. I will report to them now."

The little maid went out for a little while, and when they saw Sun Shaozu coming in from outside with his clothes untidy, he only covered the clothes on top but didn't even fasten his belt below.

Seeing Sun Shaozong looking at himself, he pulled his pants up, and said carelessly, "That bitch has been getting worse recently. She can’t even serve people well. I was so angry that I whipped her with my belt. Unexpectedly, she broke it!"

Hearing this, Sun Shaozong was speechless. He took the jug and cup from the servant girl and motioned that they should all go back. Then he said, "Brother, have you encountered something bothering you recently? You can tell me. Let's have a look at it together."

His Elder Brother went up to pick up the wine bowl, finished it, and put it down. He then waved it in front of Sun Shaozong, indicating to continue filling it.

He then swore, "The old man in the south has a lot of children. His son and his son-in-law have passed the imperial examination. Even his grandchildren are about to become adults, but I'm still with a bunch of rubbish in this room. Don't mention my son, I don’t even have a daughter!"

In the end, it was still about children!

Most likely, when he saw Sun Chengye and Yu Qian the other day, he remembered his childless desolation.

Sun Shaozong really didn't know how to persuade him, so he had to put forward the statement of "prime age" again.

"What bullshit! What prime age!"

However, this time, his Elder Brother was angry. He slapped his hands and said angrily, "Uncle Wei's remarried wife was just diagnosed to be pregnant earlier. How is that nothing to do with age!"

The fck!*

Housekeeper Wei was already 62 years old, but he was still so energetic!

Sun Shaozong didn't know what to say for a moment, but his Big Brother was suffering endlessly, "I just want a son? Why is it so difficult?!"

"I will bring home five widows who have only had sons these years! One of them even had twins!"

"To avoid the bad geomantic omen of our family, I have bought four mistresses, and I have bought all the houses from the southeast, northwest, and southwest!"

"Taoist Zhang in the Qingxu Temple, Master Yuanzhen in the Zijin Temple, the Madonna, and Immortal Liu...... Which immortal did I not beg?"

"Up to now, there’s still nothing!"

Sigh~

He was saddened that his Big Brother had taken great pains for this, but it still didn’t bore any results.

It seemed that he had some congenital defects. Maybe he could find a way to put it in the future, but now…

Sun Shaozong had no choice but to say, "Big Brother, didn't we agree? You can adopt a child from my side..."

"No!"

However, Sun Shaozu shook his head and said, "Since that Wei bastard has taken the lead, people often tease me about it. I can't take the reputation of ”unable to have sons” seriously and let them be happy!"

At this point, he grabbed Sun Shaozong's shoulder and said with burning eyes, "I've been thinking about it for a few days. Since you don't like those vulgar beauties, I'll go find the daughter of a rich family and marry her. Then we can steal a male child and substitute a female child, and substitute one thing for another..."

Sun Shaozong smiled bitterly and said, "Big Brother, don't......"

"Don't worry, I promise not to touch her!"

"That's not what I meant..."

"It's settled. Wait till I inquire about a woman who is taciturn and timid. I need to ensure that she won't give away any information!"
