Chapter 575 - Kiosk
As he walked out of the flower hall, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The scene was very awkward just now, but fortunately, he managed to turn it around in the end.
Stopping in front of the moonlit door, Sun Shaozong turned back to see off Aunt Xue and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Auntie, for sending me far away. I..."
"Erlang, don't rush to leave yet!"
Aunt Xue hurriedly said, "I have a few more words to discuss with you here."
Sun Shaozong was slightly taken aback and even said suddenly, "Is it for the sake of Brother Xue making a fuss about going to war with me? Auntie, please rest assured, I will just ignore him."
Aunt Xue smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid this child might have an impulse and secretly follow you without telling our family..."
This was something Xue Pan would do.
Although this guy has a vast array of martial arts skills, he yearned for this battle.
Seeing Aunt Xue frowning, Sun Shaozong quickly comforted her, "Auntie, don't worry. I will remind Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian and ensure that he will not do such a foolish thing."
Aunt Xue breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest with a smile, saying, "Since that's the case, I can rest assured."
This pat was extreme, as if it had knocked over the old gentleman's alchemy furnace and was about to create two mountains on the ground. Sun Shaozong, who was intimidating, hurriedly lowered his head to avoid it, then bowed and retreated, hastily leaving the courtyard door.
Watching Sun Shaozong's silhouette disappear behind the rockery, Aunt Xue suddenly chuckled and spat on her chest, then turned around to the flower hall.
As soon as she entered the door, she collided head-on with Old Madam Wang, who had a calm face.
Facing her sister's scrutinizing gaze, even though Aunt Xue already had children, she couldn't help but feel a sense of timidity. She carefully probed and said, "Sister, what’s wrong? Is there anything wrong with the news brought back by the second son of the Sun family?"
"How dare you ask me?!"
Old Madam Wang spat at her in front of her and pointed to the lifeless patch on her chest, scolding, "Are you crazy? How could you be so indecisive in front of younger generations?"
Aunt Xue thought she was talking about this dress and quickly joked, "Isn't this kind of style popular in the Capital now? You even said that I look younger dressed like this! But what..."
"I mean, in the end..."
Old Madam Wang was about to gesture to her, but it was a bit unforgettable. Besides, her scale was far behind, so she angrily slapped Aunt Xue's chest and scolded, "Are you supposed to do such a thing?"
Aunt Xue only then realized that all her small actions had fallen into the eyes of her sister.
She hid her heart beating wildly, waiting for a gag to pass by, but Old Madam Wang took her to sit on the bed of Arhat and said earnestly, "I know it's not easy for you to be widowed these years. Now that your children have grown up, it's hard to avoid feeling a little empty in your heart, but you can't..."
"Sister!"
Upon hearing Old Madam Wang speaking so thoroughly, Aunt Xue blushed with embarrassment and quickly stood up, swearing, "I have no intention of apologizing to that dead ghost, just... I just found it amusing to tease him."
Although Aunt Xue has gradually stopped trying to test Sun Shaozong's intentions recently, she still harbored a grudge against Sun Shaozong's unpredictable changes.
Therefore, having received his promise today, she was overjoyed and took the opportunity to tease Sun Shaozong to prove that her charm still lingered.
"Can this also be played with recklessly?!"
Old Madam Wang also knew that although she looked steady normally, she was quite childish in private. If she forgot to take such actions for a moment, it might not necessarily indicate that she had any ulterior motives.
But the question was, where could a man be flirted with recklessly?
What if she caused something irreparable while playing with fire and self-immolating…
Moreover, Old Madam Wang was still calculating in her heart that once her daughter gave birth to the Crown Prince, she would tell Sun Shaozong about Xue Baochai.
Between the relationship of mother-in-law and son-in-law…
The more she thought about it, the more she felt uneasy. Old Madam Wang repeatedly reminded her for a long time, but she was struggling to reveal her true intentions. Therefore, the specific effect might only be known by heaven.
Two flowers bloom, each representing one branch.
When Sun Shaozong walked a distance and saw no one around, he stopped and carefully considered whether Aunt Xue's action earlier was intentional or unintentional.
Regardless of whether it was intentional or unintentional, in front of Xue Pan, there should never be any dirty thoughts!
Moreover, it seemed that Jia Zheng still intended to match himself with Xue Baochai
"My Lord, I have found you!"
At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly fell into Sun Shaozong's ear. Sun Shaozong turned his head and saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old maid looking at him in surprise in the corridor.
This maid…
It seemed to be from Wang Xifeng's house, right?
It seemed that he still couldn't avoid Jia Lian.
Anyway, it was just a matter of handing over the things to Ping'er, saving time before leaving.
Sun Shaozong touched the contents of his sleeve pocket and approached, saying, "Is Second Brother Lian looking for me?"
The maid chuckled, but shook her head and said, "It's not that our Second Master is looking for you. It's Sister Ping'er who heard that you came to the mansion and asked me to lead you over and say a few words."
As she spoke, she covered his mouth and couldn't help but smile.
Ping'er openly invited himself to come and talk?!
Sun Shaozong was first surprised, but in an instant, he relaxed again. Now, it was not as good as before. Jia Lian promised him Ping'er, but Wang Xifeng insisted on keeping it for a few years. It should have spread throughout this mansion.
Since that was the case, it was not surprising that Ping’er invited him over in a grand manner.
After thinking through this section, Sun Shaozong gestured for the maid to lead the way ahead.
He thought he was going to Wang Xifeng's Xiyun Pavilion, but unexpectedly, after seven twists and turns, he entered the Provincial Courtyard through the corner gate.
In the past, he used to arrange a private meeting in this garden, hoping that the land would be vast and the people would be sparse, making it easier to hide and escape. But now that it has been made public, how could he still go to the garden?
Sun Shaozong couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, but as long as he didn't break into the courtyards of Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Jia Tanchun, and others, it was expected to be unobstructed.
Therefore, he only increased his vigilance and did not show any signs.
So, after walking back and forth for a moment, the maid suddenly pointed to a pavilion on a fake mountaintop and said, "Here we are. Sister Ping'er is on top, and you can go up on your own."
Watching the little maid giggle and drift away, Sun Shaozong's gaze turned to where she was pointing.
Here…
It seemed that the time he mistook Yuanyang for Ping’er was in the small pavilion on the mountaintop.
This place was obviously not taboo.
Therefore, Sun Shaozong did not hesitate to climb up the stairs. When he turned from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, he saw several women standing in the pavilion, with Xiren and Jia Tanchun as the leaders.
