Chapter 395: A Storm of Jealousy Generates Waves and Ripples Again

Seeing Jia Zheng's eagerness to attack, he disregarded the fact that he was hitting Baoyu head-on. Sun Shaozong was also intimidated. Without waiting for the water and fire stick to fall, he quickly grabbed it with his cross arm and took advantage of the situation to grab it in his arms.

As Sun Shaozong poked the stick on the ground, he said solemnly, "Look at your posture, Uncle. I'm afraid I have to take Brother Bao back to the Yamen and torture him severely.”

Jia Zheng was forcibly robbed of his ”weapon blade,” and his heart was filled with shame and anger. Suddenly, when he heard Sun Shaozong's words, he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot and said in amazement, “You want to take him back and torture him severely? Why?”

“Is this unknown?”

Sun Shaozong spread out his hands and said with a natural expression, "Although Brother Bao has all kinds of mischievous qualities, disobedience, and unfilial behavior are determined and unafraid. Nowadays, he has provoked such righteous and immoral acts of killing people, setting a fire, looting money, and lusting outside...”

“Since he has committed such a major case, as the ruler of the Central Judicial Office, I should have taken him back for questioning.”

During his speech, disregarding Jia Zheng's reaction, he tore the rope off Baoyu's body and pretended to roar, "Let's go back to the Yamen hall with me.”

Jia Baoyu was shocked, he raised his pale baby face and looked at Sun Shaozong with a confused gaze. Then he trembled and said, “Second Brother... Indeed, you have become a ghost in the underworld!”

Feeling this kid just passed out in pain. When Sun Shaozong broke the rope, he finally woke up and turned around. Coincidentally, when he heard the word ”trial,” he thought he had arrived at the underworld to judge the merits and demerits of his life.

Sun Shaozong couldn't help but cry and laugh when he heard his nonsense. He angrily scolded, "Wake up quickly, you've only been hit by more than a dozen boards. Why are you talking nonsense?”

“So I'm not dead yet?”

Jia Baoyu suddenly straightened up and then fell back like a salted fish, crouching on the bench and saying, "It hurts.”

This kid was really a skilled killer; he cried out in pain, but something was wrong with him as he sang it in rhythm.

Originally, Jia Zheng had been foolishly entangled by Sun Shaozong and had lost all his energy. However, when he sang this song, he immediately thought of the ”Qi Guan” again. He was so angry that he grabbed another water and fire stick, swung it around, and waited to be drawn on Baoyu's buttocks.

Sun Shaozong felt helpless and was about to stop him again. However, someone had already rushed in from outside and grabbed the board, crying, "Please be merciful, Master”

The person who came was Madam Wang.

As soon as Jia Zheng saw that she had arrived, he blew his beard and glared at her, stomping his feet and saying, "That's it! It seems that you two, mother and son, must make me rage today before I can rest.”

Madam Wang held the board tightly and cried, "Although Baoyu should be beaten, you should also take care of his health. Moreover, on this scorching summer day, the Old Lady has never been comfortable. It is fine for you to kill Baoyu. However, if the Old Lady gets angry about this, it will be too late for you to regret it.”

When Jia Zheng heard her mentioning the Old Lady, his heart grew even more angry. He sneered repeatedly and said many things about ”being a kind mother and a defeated child.”.] He also gave up the water and fire stick, picked up the rope on the ground, and shouted to kill Baoyu.

Madam Wang refused to comply. While protecting Baoyu, she even started to cry for Jia Zhu, saying that if her eldest son were still alive, she wouldn’t care if a hundred Baoyu died.

At this moment, Li Wan and the other girls also rushed over and heard her cry Jia Zhu's name. Although she had already moved to another love in her heart, she could only follow and burst into tears.Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com

This had already become a mess, but the Old Lady came outside and scolded Jia Zheng for a long time. She also shouted that she would take her grandson back to Jinling's hometown, so as not to get in the way of Jia Zheng.

When Wang Xifeng sent him around, he took advantage of the situation and handled some trivial matters. He gasped and sweated profusely, so he took off the apricot-colored wrinkled skirt and the small clothes inside and prepared to take a shower before lying back in bed.

Unexpectedly, he had just inserted a leg like a white jade pillar into the bathtub filled with petals and suddenly heard Xiao Hong report outside that Baoyu had been beaten to death. Even the Old Lady was startled.

Upon hearing this, did Wang Xifeng still feel in the mood to bathe?

She hastily shouted at Ping’er to fetch a bath towel, wrap the warm water on her legs and some fine sweat on her body, and then change into a new one from inside out. She hurriedly rushed to the flower hall.

After meeting Baoyu, Wang Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that although he had been beaten to the skin and flesh, it had not hurt the root cause.

However, as she relaxed, she suddenly discovered a strange thing happening both inside and outside of here. She couldn't even see a trace of Jia Lian!

It was said that Jia Lian was handling household matters in the front yard, so he should have received the news earlier than herself. How come he still hasn't been seen even though she has already arrived?

Wang Xifeng became suspicious and took the opportunity to scan outside. Seeing even Sun Shaozong standing in the corner, but no trace of Jia Lian could be seen, the suspicion turned into a deep sense of unease.

But now it was not easy for her to withdraw, so she had to turn back.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw several maidservants and women trying to help Baoyu get up. She immediately angrily shouted and cursed, "Things that don't have long eyes! Don't you take a look? Can Brother Bao still walk now? Hurry up and lift out that rattan drawer spring stool.”

A few sturdy women hurriedly carried the stool out of the room and used it as a temporary stretcher. They carried Baoyu to Old Lady Jia's room.

As she continued on the way, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but scan around. However, until Jia Baoyu was properly placed, she still couldn't see the figure of Second Master Lian. Was it because Second Master Lian was doing something treacherous? Otherwise, how could he have yet to receive any news?

With such thoughts, Wang Xifeng's heart became increasingly agitated, coupled with the rush of the way, a fragrant sweat seeped out of her body, and her pink cheeks were even fiery red.

Everyone else paid attention to Jia Baoyu, but the big maid, Yuanyang, had the sharpest eyes. Seeing Wang Xifeng, it seemed that she was not right, so she quickly whispered to Old Lady Jia.

“Daughter-in-law Lian.”

Old Lady Jia then wiped away her tears and complained, "You haven't recovered from this illness yet. What are you doing here with us? Hurry up, help your Madam back to rest.”

If it were a different day, Wang Xifeng would probably try to stay in charge.

But now she only wanted to find out what shameful pickle Jia Lian was doing, so she pushed the boat with the tide and let Ping’er and Xiaohong hold her and walk out of Old Lady Jia's yard.

Outside, Wang Xifeng pushed Xiaohong aside and ordered fiercely, "Go! Bring Zhou Rui and his wife to me, and say our family has recruited thieves. Let him prepare sticks and ropes and go with me to take the thieves.”

Previously, the couple had a conflict, and Ping'er had to persuade them with a few words. However, her heart was already tied to Sun Shaozong, and she was annoyed that Jia Lian had a conflict with Sun Shaozong the day before yesterday.

Therefore, instead of discouraging her, Ping'er reminded her, "In recent days, Xing'er has been leading someone to replant fruit trees in the garden. He has not been with the Second Master, but the matter of the Second Master can’t be concealed from him.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Xifeng ordered Zhou Rui not to rush over and to first go to the Grand View Garden to tie up that Xing'er.
