Baochai was extremely confused at the moment, and the first thing she wanted was to let the young man make the decision.
Shui Rong knew what the beauty was thinking. He groaned for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter. Let's pack up first and then go meet Sister Lin. It would be embarrassing if we were to be secretive. Even if Sister Lin found out something, it wouldn't be worth it. After all, you are still her sister-in-law."
For Shui Rong, the discovery was just a discovery and it was not worth making a big deal. Besides, Daiyu had a noble character and would definitely not say anything even if she knew about it.
You can't let Shui Rong hide, it's not like he's blocked in the house by his wife.
After Baochai heard this, she felt much more relieved. The young man's words simply meant that he was not afraid of the matter being exposed, especially the word "sister-in-law", which showed the young man's heart. This helped Baochai regain her composure and made it worthwhile for her to let him humiliate her.
Shui Rong blew two puffs of cool air gently and said softly, "Good sister, it's really my fault, please don't be angry."
Baochai felt a little relieved when listening to Shui Rong's soft whispers. It was impossible for her not to be angry. After all, the boy had indeed gone too far. How could he really bite people? Now it was on her shoulder. She couldn't imagine what it would be like if it was really like that.
However, the boy apologized sincerely twice, which made Baochai's resentment dissipate a lot. She looked at the boy with her beautiful eyes and said softly, "Brother-in-law, I know you didn't mean it. Sister, don't be angry. You should go see Sister Lin first!"
Perhaps my brother-in-law was so flustered when he heard that Lin Daiyu was coming that he spoke without thinking.
Seeing this, Shui Rong said no more. He picked up Baochai in his arms and placed her on the brocade cushion beside him. He stood up, adjusted his belt, and walked towards the door.
Outside the hospital.
Daiyu looked at Ying'er with her willow eyes thoughtfully, feeling suspicious. Ying'er greeted her, but her voice was a little loud. Moreover, she caught a glimpse of the closed door out of the corner of her eye, which made the observant Daiyu realize that something was wrong.
Sister Bao must be hiding something from her as she closed the door in broad daylight.
Ying'er saw Daiyu's willow eyes sizing her up, and her heart froze for a moment. Feeling guilty, she pretended to be calm and asked with a smile, "Miss Lin, what's wrong with you?"
Daiyu's eyes were as bright as torches, so how could she not see Ying'er's guilty conscience? She snorted inwardly and said in a clear voice, "It's okay here, but I don't know if it's convenient for Baojie."
"."
Ying'er felt bitter when she heard this. Miss Lin was not easy to deal with. She was speechless with just one casual remark. She pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Miss Lin, what are you talking about? I don't know how happy I am that you are here."
At the moment, Ying'er had no other thoughts but to delay the time as much as possible so that the people in the room would have enough time.
Daiyu looked at Ying'er with her willow eyes, her brows shining with wisdom, as if she saw through everything. She laughed, shook off the embroidery in her hand, turned around and said, "Forget it, forget it, I'll go back first, I don't want to be disliked."
"squeak"
The door was pushed open, and Shui Rong came out. He looked at the beautiful figure with a warm face and said with a smile, "Why is Sister Lin here?"
Daiyu, who was about to leave, turned around and looked at the gentle young man. Her eyebrows slightly raised and she cursed in her heart. She knew that it was her brother who was here. It was just as she thought, a pair of cheating mandarin ducks.
Daiyu curled her lips, pinched a strand of black hair on her shoulder with her bare hands, and said in a clear voice: "Brother can come, but sister can't. What a nonsense."
"."
Chapter 220 Daiyu: An unfaithful man?
Inside Baochai's room.
At this time, Baochai was sitting on a brocade cushion, her skirt half-dropped, and she was wearing a white silk apron with red lining, revealing her snow-white shoulders, like a beautiful and attractive painting.
When the beautiful woman saw the young man leaving the house, she looked at her palm with her almond-shaped eyes as clear as autumn water. Her eyelashes trembled slightly. She felt shy and her plump little face turned red like blood.
Although she felt ashamed and angry, she couldn't help feeling happy and contented deep in her heart when she thought of her brother-in-law's obsession with her.
Somehow, Baochai came closer as if possessed, which immediately made the beautiful lady frown, her plump cheeks felt hot, and she felt like spitting in her heart.
She was really crazy. How could her curiosity really kill the cat?
However, the faint sound of conversation outside the room brought Baochai back to her senses. The most important thing now was to clean up. If Sister Lin came in and saw this, she would be too embarrassed to face anyone.
Thinking of this, Baochai looked towards the wooden rack in the corner with her beautiful eyes. With her skirt hanging down, she stood up and walked to the copper basin. Seeing that the basin was empty, she frowned slightly.
Ying'er is too lazy. What should she do next? It's also her brother-in-law's fault that he is too noisy. He doesn't know how to deal with the aftermath and instead throws all the troubles to her.
With a light spit, Baochai's almond-shaped eyes turned slightly, she pursed her lips, and carefully held the embroidered handkerchief in her hands. Then she folded it into a square, put it away, and began to tidy up her half-fallen skirt.
"hiss"
The stinging pain on her shoulder made Baochai frown. She lowered her eyes to look but couldn't see anything clearly. Then she walked to the dressing coffin with lotus steps, looked into the bronze mirror with her beautiful eyes, and saw the clear marks on her snow-white shoulder. She felt angry in her heart.
How could my brother-in-law be so harsh?
Fortunately, the young man's words of comfort made Baochai feel relieved. Although there was no bleeding at the moment, the wound would probably take several days to heal, and she hoped that it would not leave a scar.
But Baochai's eyes noticed a long, faintly visible scar on the white silk and red bellyband, and her plump face turned red as blood. Her mind involuntarily appeared the wonder of the dragon's spitting pearl flower, which was as graceful as a startled swan and soared straight into the sky.
After spitting a few times, Baochai bit her lip, lifted her skirt, and buttoned it carefully, trying to hold up the collar to cover her snow-white shoulders. Then she pushed open the window and walked to the copper-headed incense burner, lit the incense with a fire stick, and the green smoke curled up, dispersing the beautiful atmosphere in the room.
After tidying up everything, Baochai sat upright on a brocade cushion, cupped her plump face with her bare hands and patted it gently, taking long, relaxing breaths to keep herself calm, waiting for the signal from her brother-in-law.
Wait, you slapped my face before you even washed my hands. Never mind.
Outside the hospital.
At this moment, Shui Rong was looking at the graceful figure in front of him. He didn't know what to say for a moment because of the sarcastic words. It turned out to be the terminator of words - Lin Duidui.
After a pause, Shui Rong said helplessly: "Sister, you are so eloquent, I have to admit that you are better than me, please don't embarrass me and keep some dignity as a brother."
Shui Rong really had no way to deal with Daiyu's sarcastic tone. If he spoke harshly, this sensitive girl would definitely overthink it.
Now that he had come to Baochai's place and was seen by Daiyu, with her intelligence she must have guessed something, so she simply humbled herself for once, which also served to shut Daiyu up.
It is not a big deal to be humble and serve a girl. But he has been a humble boy in front of Yuanchun and Keqing, and he is willing to be a servant to their children.
When Daiyu saw Shui Rong's frustrated look, she couldn't help but smile with her hands covering her mouth. She didn't mean to bully Shui Rong, she was just joking with her words.
However, the boy's attitude was incomparable to ordinary people. Even her playful brother Bao, who had grown up with her, would lose his temper from time to time when faced with her jokes. But only her foster brother, no matter how many times he joked with her, always had an expression of doting and helplessness, which made Daiyu feel warm in her heart.
The gentle boy in front of me is closer to me than my own brother.
Thinking of this, Daiyu looked at the boy with starry eyes and said softly, "In my heart, brother is brother."
Shui Rong felt much more relieved after hearing this. Although Daiyu's words were sarcastic, she had a good heart. All she wanted was respect. As long as he spoke kindly and was generous and tolerant, the picky Daiyu would quickly transform into a caring and good sister.
After a pause, Shui Rong said calmly, "Sister, you are here to look for treasure, right? Go in and sit for a while."
Daiyu heard this, her face was bent like a willow leaf, with a smile on her lips, and she said in a clear voice: "If I had known that my brother was coming, I would not have come."
Originally, Daiyu saw that Baochai was depressed and knew that she had a secret relationship with her brother, so she came over to comfort her. However, who would have thought that this good brother had already done it before her? If she had known about this, she really would not have come, as it would have been a waste of time.
Shui Rong felt a headache when he heard this. Daiyu is still the same Daiyu after all, so don't be misled by her temporary gentleness.
Shaking his head, Shui Rong moved closer, looked at the girl in front of him with gentle eyes, reached out and touched her little head, and said softly: "Good sister, now that we are here, let's go see sister Bao together."
You must never use force when dealing with the weak and frail Lin Daiyu.
Daiyu felt the boy's intimacy, and her fair cheeks became more rosy. This brother-like doting made her heart warm. However, the strange fragrance coming from the boy's palm made Daiyu wrinkle her nose.
Isn’t this the cold fragrance of Sister Bao? She has a cold fragrance all over her body, and no one knows what she is doing hiding in the house.
She spat in her heart, and a few blushes appeared on the back of Daiyu's ears. She looked at the boy with a pair of bright eyes that seemed like spring mountain mist, and asked softly, "Brother, do you like Sister Bao?"
Shui Rong looked calm when he heard this. He hid in Baochai's room and closed the door on purpose. Anyone with a little bit of brains could guess something, let alone Daiyu, who was sensitive and intelligent.
After a pause, Shui Rong nodded and said, "I like Sister Bao. After some time, I will marry Sister Bao into the palace. From now on, Sister Bao will have to call me sister-in-law."
Shui Rong loved Baochai's obedience and consideration very much, so it was not an exaggeration to say "marry" her.
Facing Daiyu's question, Shui Rong had no need to hide anything. After all, hiding anything under the current circumstances would be like trying to cover up one's own faults.
Daiyu was slightly moved when she heard this. Although she knew that Shui Rong and Baochai had secretly communicated with each other, without evidence it could only be speculation. This time she asked simply to find out whether her brother was hiding it from her.
Now Shui Rong told the truth, which made Daiyu happy. He was indeed her good brother.
Pursing her pink lips, Daiyu looked a little worried and asked with concern: "Brother, what about my elder sister?"
Daiyu was in a mood to watch the fun of the affair between Baochai and Shui Rong. However, not long after her brother married her elder sister, he had an affair with her elder sister's aunt's cousin, and the news spread to the outside world, saying that the Princess of Beijing was not favored by the prince. If three people make a tiger, then the elder sister, the Princess of Beijing, would lose all her face, and where would she be left?
Sometimes I think that my brother is a good person, but his temper is too mischievous.
Shui Rong looked at the girl. Her willow-shaped eyebrows revealed a hint of worry, which made Shui Rong feel a little warm in his heart.
After all, she is a good sister. She cares about him and his pity for her is not in vain.
After a pause, Shui Rong said softly, "It is because of your elder sister that I can only let Bao sister down. When the time is right, I will tell Yuanchun about this matter. Your elder sister is kind, respectful and frugal, and will not mind this matter."
The wedding day was neither long nor short. Shui Rong knew that Yuanchun was gentle, respectful and frugal, and would not care too much about her gossip. Even if Shui Rong took Baochai into the palace now, Yuanchun would not say anything. But Shui Rong knew that it was only on the surface, and she would always feel a little annoyed in her heart. Baochai also knew the reason, so she refused Shui Rong's request to let her into the palace several times.
There are a lot of gossips in the harem. Once there is unfairness, women can't suppress their little thoughts. As long as Yuanchun maintains her position as the first lady and is given respect as a wife, there will be less gossip. Now it's not only Baochai's affairs, but also Keqing's affairs.
Daiyu blinked her eyes and looked at the young man when she heard this. She knew what her brother was saying, but his words sounded a little strange. They seemed to make sense, but there was a vague sense of incongruity.
An unfaithful man? But my brother is not an unfeeling person, he is just broad-minded.
Daiyu covered her mouth and smiled, her willow eyes were full, and there was a hint of teasing between her eyebrows. She said: "Then my sister should pay her respects to my sister-in-law."
Shui Rong chuckled when he heard this. In the original novel, Baochai and Daiyu admired each other, but there was a conflict of interest between the two because of Baoyu. Therefore, although they seemed to be close friends and sisters, there was always something weird about them.
Now that they have become sisters-in-law, there is no so-called conflict of interest. The two who appreciate each other will surely be closer than real sisters.
Shui Rong reached out and touched Daiyu's head again, and said kindly: "Good sister, for your brother's sake, please don't embarrass your sister-in-law."
Everything has been talked about now. Given Daiyu's personality, she will most likely put pressure on Baochai, or rather, criticize her. Even if Sister Lin has no bad intentions, Baochai is shy at the moment, so it is better to give some instructions in advance to avoid making Baochai feel ashamed and angry.
Daiyu frowned slightly when she heard this, and pursed her lips and said, "Look, I haven't even met my sister-in-law yet, and you're already like this, it makes me look petty."
Chapter 221 Shui Rong: Sister Lin, I hope you will never know this in your life
Inside the house, Baochai had calmed down. Her originally rosy cheeks had become as white as jade, and her trembling heart was as calm as water.
Baochai was puzzled as she didn't see her brother-in-law and Sister Lin come in for a long time. Just as she was about to get up, she suddenly heard footsteps and sat down again.
For a moment, Baochai looked at the two people walking in side by side, his apricot eyes fell on Daiyu, and he felt a slight hint of teasing in her willow eyes.
Yes, with Sister Lin's intelligence, how could she not see the trick? Moreover, Daiyu's words earlier had hinted at something, so she must have seen it long ago.
Fortunately, Baochai knew that Daiyu was of high character and would never talk nonsense, so she smiled and asked nonchalantly, "Why is Sister Lin here?"
Daiyu saw Baochai looking calm and composed, and she felt amused. She smiled and said, "Come and see my sister-in-law, but she doesn't welcome me."
"Sister-in-law?"
Baochai's calm mood was disturbed when she heard this. Her fair cheeks turned slightly red. She glared at the girl with her almond-shaped eyes and said, "You are really crazy, what sister-in-law, what Huqin."
I know in my heart that there is no need to make fun of others. Lin Daiyu is still the same Lin Daiyu.
Shui Rong felt strange after hearing this. Baochai was indeed a caring person and she cared about Shui Rong wholeheartedly, which moved him deeply. However, Daiyu already knew the reason, so Baochai's words were completely self-deprecating.
To put it bluntly, Baochai is a clown at this time.
In order to prevent Baochai from further embarrassing herself and becoming socially devastated, Shui Rong quickly said, "Sister Bao, I'll tell Sister Lin about our situation."
