The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Wang Xifeng's heart turned cold, and her single eyelid narrowed slightly. After carefully distinguishing them, she saw that the two talkative women in front of the door were not the powerful figures around the Old Lady Jia, but just ordinary rough maids.

She raised her hand and shouted, "Someone, give these two inconspicuous things a lesson.”

Behind her, there were already maids and women rushing forward, grabbing two talkative women and bowing from left to right. Then, a slapping sound came right after.

Wang Xifeng felt that it was not enough to relieve her hatred and ordered to slap them again. Ping'er hurriedly said, "Madam, after all, it's at the entrance of the Old Lady yard. If we really want to stir up trouble, I'm afraid it's not very suitable.”

Wang Xifeng then gave up and spat at the two women's faces before biting her silver teeth and entering the courtyard.

Before they could get close to the hall, they heard a familiar, loud voice yelling, "Second Brother is usually honest, but today, how come he lost all the truth? That Second Lady You found Second Brother Sun by herself; how could it be that he stole love from him?!"

Listening to this silly voice, who else could it be if it was not Xue Pan?

It turned out that in the Wanghai Tower, Jia Lian accidentally offended Prince Zhongshun; When Jia Baoyu rushed over to plead, he was schemed by Prince Zhongshun and accidentally offended National Uncle Zhao.

Afterward, allowing Jia Baoyu to apologize, he spoke like a wheel many times, and National Uncle Zhao only had a cold face and didn't respond.

Being helpless, the Jia family had no choice but to return to Ning-Rong Mansions with a dozen or so injured soldiers.

At that time, Sun Shaozong saw that Jia Zhen and Jia Lian were filled with resentment, and he was worried that after they returned home, they would blame him. Therefore, he specifically asked Xue Pan to come over so that he could share some of the blame with himself to the current situation, it was obvious that Sun Shaozong guessed it right!

Jia Lian knelt with a bruised nose and swollen face, listening to every word of Xue Pan's protection for Sun Shaozong. He couldn't help but feel angry and straightened his body, choking his neck in anger, asking, "Big Head Xue! What benefits have you gained from Sun Shaozong? How come every word you say is helping him?”

Xue Pan's ox eyes widened and he was about to retort when he saw the curtain of the door lift. Wang Xifeng stepped in from outside and sneered, "No matter who he was talking on behalf of, let me just ask you, is what Wenlong said true or false?”

Jia Lian saw Wang Xifeng arrive and immediately tried to reprimand him. He became angry again. He stood up from the ground and met Wang Xifeng's eyes with an ironclad face, saying, "What if it’s the truth, and what if it's the false?! I was deceived by Sun Shaozong's trick outside and was humiliated in public! I’m home now; would you still help him continue to humiliate me?”

After all, Wang Xifeng still had some marital feelings in her heart. When she saw him speak with a piercing expression, she was obviously extremely embarrassed and angry in her heart. She couldn't bear to say anything more for a moment.

But Xue Pan and Jia Baoyu next to him shook their heads and said, "Where did the trick come from? Prince Zhongshun suddenly arrived, and this matter...”

“Baoyu.”

Jia Lian tilted his head and stared at Jia Baoyu with a burning gaze, asking, "Am I your Brother, or is that Sun Erlang your Brother?”

Jia Baoyu immediately wilted. If he were to reason about this matter today, his heart would naturally leaned more toward Sun Shaozong. However, these days, it was customary to help the relatives, no matter the truth of the situation.

Therefore, as soon as Jia Lian said this, he couldn't say anything more.

Although Xue Pan didn't have these scruples, he saw Jia Baoyu stop his guard, and even the consistently strong Sister Feng was suppressed by Jia Lian. He was momentarily clumsy and didn't know what to say.

Finally, he suddenly remembered Old Lady Jia's presence and quickly arched his hand, saying, "Old Lady, Second Brother Lian clearly has no reason to reason today.”

Sigh~

Old Lady Jia sighed and interrupted Xue Pan's words, saying softly, "Which one of Prince Zhongshun or the National Uncle is an easy person? You don't want to solve the problem one by one, but you're still arguing about what's right or wrong here.”

As she spoke, she exclaimed, "Let someone go and urge again. Ask the Big Master to hurry back to the Mansion! Yuanyang, take out the few items from my warehouse that have been pressed under the box and prepare them.”

Jia Lian was originally filled with resentment. When no one was convinced, upon hearing Old Lady Jia's words, her spine and heart softened. He knelt back to the ground in fear and shame, bowing his head and saying, "Old Lady, it's all the trouble caused by us grandchildren. How... how can we touch your things?”

As soon as he knelt, Wang Xifeng and Jia Baoyu could no longer stand, and they quickly knelt on the ground to persuade Old Lady Jia to take back her orders.

Xue Pan saw that the whole room was kneeling, and it was not easy to stand alone, so he reluctantly knelt too.

At this moment, the bamboo curtain was lifted again, and Li Wan walked in from outside and saw everyone kneeling on the ground. She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "This... This is..."

Everyone was silent in agreement. After a while, Old Lady Jia asked, "Daughter-in-law, are you here to talk about something?”

“Report back to the Old Lady.”

Liwan hurriedly said, "Originally, I wanted to see how Lan’er was doing. However, when I bumped into Lord Sun outside, I came in to inform.”

“Is Sun Shaozong here?”

“How did Brother Sun come?”

“Has Brother Sun arrived?”

The three men in the room shouted in unison, but their tone was vastly different.

Xue Pan knelt impatiently, so he immediately jumped up. Regardless of whether Old Lady Jia agreed or not, he excitedly said, "I'll invite Second Brother in to speak.”

When Xue Pan arrived outside, Jia Lian also knelt a bit uneasily, secretly thinking that if Sun Shaozong came in and he was still kneeling on the ground, wouldn't he have lost face in vain?

With such thoughts, he wanted to get up and take the posture of holding his head and chest high.

Bang!

Old Lady Jia suddenly smashed the dragon head cane onto the ground and scolded, "You kneel for me.”

As she spoke, she shouted to Baoyu and Wang Xifeng to get up.

Wang Xifeng had nothing wrong with her, and it was not easy to kneel here with her husband. So she got up and stood behind Old Lady Jia with Li Wan.

Jia Baoyu refused to stand up and shook his head, saying, "Old Lady, that National Uncle was offended by me. Of course, I should be punished together with my Second Brother.”

“Good grandson.”

Old Lady Jia said kindly, "If you weren't trying to save the lives of those people, how could you have fallen into their trap? It's not your fault for this. Don't demand yourself anymore; get up quickly.”

Jia Baoyu still refused.

At this moment, someone outside the door suddenly laughed and said, "Although Brother Bao has offended the National Uncle, he has also made Prince Zhongshun let bygones be bygones. If you come to terms with him, you will naturally be meritorious without fault.”

As he spoke, a tall and burly figure crossed the threshold and strode into the hall. With a hearty bow, he said, "Greetings to the Old Lady.”

Old Lady Jia quickly stood up and gave a hand. "Good child, get up, get up quickly.”

Sun Shaozong took the opportunity to stand up and said, "I came a few steps late. I was originally planning to take advantage of the situation, but my friends Jiang Yuhan and Brother Bao took the lead. Now that Prince Zhongshun is no longer in great anger, it is the National Uncle Zhao who we need to be careful when dealing with.”

After a pause, he said again, "National Uncle Zhao comes from a humble family, so he is most afraid of being looked down upon. However, on the contrary, as long as the Elder or Second Master comes forward and lowers his stance to give him face, 80% of the misunderstandings can be eliminated. However, it must be done quickly, otherwise, the news will spread to the harem and the results will be unpredictable.”

Upon hearing Sun Shaozong's words, it was in line with her thoughts. Old Lady Jia couldn't help but praise, "No wonder Lord Sun became famous in the officialdom in his weak coronal year. This meticulous thought has made my two grandchildren blush.”

Jia Baoyu had already admired Sun Shaozong's abilities, so naturally, he wouldn't feel anything.

But when Jia Lian heard this, his heart was uncomfortable and tight.

And Sun Shaozong was about to talk about Jia Lian next.

He bowed and said, "Thanks for your praise. It's just that I have something unknown and I hope to ask Second Brother Lian for a clear understanding.”

As he spoke, he turned around and arched his hand at Jia Lian, saying, "Second Brother Lian, I asked myself that I have never offended you before. Today, you angrily found Wangjiang Tower, and I wonder what happened?”

“What's the matter?”

Upon hearing that, Jia Lian couldn't help but jump up from the ground with a jerk and his eyes widened. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Why are you still asking me?”
