Chapter 427: Since Ancient Times, Filial Piety and Relationships Have Been Difficult to Complete

After finally entering the Sun family's door and taking his seat in the front courtyard living room, Jia Baoyu was still hearing the mournful sound in his ear, so he didn't notice that Xiuju lied about going to the back house to report, but, after leaving the living room, she went straight to Sun Shaozong's courtyard.

Because Xiuju has been with Jia Yingchun for so many years, she knew that once her owner encountered difficulties, she would only be hesitant and unable to come up with any serious ideas.

Rather than making Jia Yingchun feel embarrassed in vain, it would be better to report it directly to someone who could make up his mind!

It was said that Sun Shaozong had been drinking with his Elder Brother all morning and finally managed to ”flatten” him, and his stomach had already been filled with alcohol.

Therefore, he didn’t go to Ruan Rong's place for lunch as usual, but instead went to Second Sister You's room and prepared to engage in some popular sports while enjoying the wine.ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

That Second Sister You has a gentle temperament, but she was very open-minded in sexual matters. Sun Shaozong only teased a few words, and she understood his meaning. She and Sun Shaozong both rolled into the red tent and in a moment, they peeled off naked, one black and one white.

Seeing that he was about to regain his composure, he suddenly heard a timid voice from a servant girl outside, saying, "Second Master, Sister Xiuju from the Elder Madam's house is here. She said she must report something urgent to you.”

Why did she choose to come here at this time?

Sun Shaozong's stomach was filled with a sinister fire that had become an internal injury, but it was not easy to take this statement as a byword. After all, he was not that short and powerless, and he needed to have fun in time before paying attention to it. He was afraid that he would have delayed the serious matters earlier.

Therefore, he had to command Second Sister You to wait in bed first, and if it weren't for any urgent matter, it would be okay for him to come back and ”fight” until dark.

“Second Master.”

Seeing Sun Shaozong coming out of the inner room, Xiuju quickly approached to salute, and then, taking advantage of the little maid's lack of attention, cast a resentful look. Recently, due to Jia Yingchun's pregnancy, she naturally couldn't find any pleasure with him.

But this gruesome appearance should never be revealed in front of people.

Therefore, Sun Shaozong's gaze was sharp, and Xiuju lowered her head with a straight stare. Then he asked, "Does Sister-in-law have some orders for you to be in a hurry over to see me?”

“Reply to the Second Master's words.”

Xiuju hurriedly said, "It's not that the Elder Madam has any instructions. There's a troublesome matter coming to our door, and I don't know what to do with it. That's why I came to ask you to come up with an idea.”

As she spoke, she told Sun Shaozong about how she went to Rongguo Mansion to inquire about the truth and coincidentally met Jia Baoyu and went back to the mansion with him.

When Sun Shaozong heard that there were the names of Qingwen and Caixia on the register, he couldn't help but be surprised. It was reasonable for Caixia. However, Qingwen had always been one of Jia Baoyu's heartthrobs, so how could he be willing to send her to the Sun family?

But...

If Jia Yingchun had a disagreement with Old Madam Wang about taking care of Jia Baoyu's thoughts, it would probably not be appropriate.

Having been in a dilemma for a while, Sun Shaozong couldn't make up his mind and had to first inquire about the relationship between Jia Baoyu and Qingwen and then decide whether to make a decision.

Jia Baoyu was a bit dissatisfied and suddenly heard Sun Shaozong ask about Jia Zheng's whereabouts and couldn't help but wonder, "If there were no accidents, he would have taken office by the end of the month, but what does this have to do with my mother? My mother has always been a virtuous assistant, and she will never have any resentment because my father seeks to be released from the Capital.”

Sun Shaozong gave a silent slap on the forehead and said in frustration, "Aren't you studying the reasoning of criminals lately? Why are you still so ignorant? I'll ask you again, how should Concubine Zhao, who is locked up in the ancestral hall, be handled when he is going south to take office?”

“Of course...”

Jia Baoyu was about to answer that she would continue to be locked up in the ancestral hall, but after more than a year of ups and downs, he was no longer a fool.

With the attitude of Old Lady Jia and Old Madam Wang's hatred towards Concubine Zhao to the bone, if there was no protection from Jia Zheng, she might fall ill in a few days!

Jia Zheng has sheltered Concubine Zhao for a long time, and his emotions towards her were obviously different from those of his Concubines. Would he let Concubine Zhao stay in the Capital and wait for her death?

Based on this calculation, wasn’t Jia Zheng going south with Concubine Zhao to take office?!

Thinking of Concubine Zhao, who almost poisoned herself, wanting to follow his father and have a happy life in the south, Jia Baoyu couldn't help but feel some resentment for a moment and bit his two rows of silver teeth with a clattering sound.

Sun Shaozong saw Baoyu's appearance and knew that he had already figured out the secret in it. He sighed and said, "How can the betrayal of those around him compare to the sentimentality of those next to him? Now the two are in one place, the bitterness in your mother’s heart is far beyond your imagination.”

“And now she's venting her anger on Qingwen. I’m afraid she's already using Qingwen as a substitute for Concubine Zhao. If you try to confront her at this moment, do you know how she'll feel in her heart?”

How would she feel?

Her husband openly favored the Concubine, who intended to take her the main position and his intimate confidant servant girl, and secretly colluded with the Concubine's son. However, at this moment, her biological son also wanted to fight against her for the sake of a servant girl...

To describe it as hopeless shouldn’t be an exaggeration at all.

Thinking of this, Jia Baoyu was filled with confusion and fear. He felt sorry for his mother's situation and was unwilling to let her feel sad anymore; on the other hand, he couldn't bear to part with Qingwen.

After a long battle between heaven and man, he suddenly remembered that there was still a ”life mentor” standing in front of him. He eagerly asked, "Second Brother, in your opinion, what should I... do now?”

“I can't make up my mind about this matter.”

Sun Shaozong patted him on the shoulder, saying quietly, "Since ancient times, filial piety has been difficult to achieve. Whether you choose to be filial to your mother or choose to be a devoted man to your servant girl, you can only make your own choice.”

He said he couldn't make up his mind, but in his words, he pointed out the identities of the two. Nowadays, even swaying between his mother and wife could be considered unfilial, let alone Qingwen being just a servant girl.

Therefore, Baoyu carefully chewed on the words ”love and filial piety are difficult to reconcile” a few times, and his face showed a look of sadness and desolation. He bowed and said, “Second Brother, just pretend that I haven't been here today. Goodbye.”

As he spoke, he walked out dejected, and the figure behind him showed a hint of melancholy.
