Chapter 476: See a Visitor Out
Although there was an ambulatory between the east and west wing rooms and the main room, to avoid blocking the sun, the ambulatory was just the width of two people standing side by side. If it was a gentle rain, it would be fine. Now the rainstorm was pouring and the wind was blowing, and the narrow eaves couldn’t be blocked.
“Yo!”
Wang-Shi let out an exaggerated exclamation, probing her head and complaining, "It only took me a few words to come in and the rain is so heavy.”
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly lit up and she happily suggested to her Mother-in-law, "Since God is keeping guests, it's better to invite Lord Sun and Lord Liu to have lunch at our house before leaving.”
This statement was originally taken for granted, but when it came out of Wang's mouth, it always appeared to have a bad motive.
Therefore, Aunt Xue ignored her and waited for Ying’er to hastily retrieve two paper umbrellas. She then propped up one of them, which was yellow, and covered her side like a shield, and walked towards the hall against the wall.
Wang narrowed her mouth towards her back and quickly opened her umbrella, following her step by step.
As the two of them entered the hall one after the other, Sun Shaozong had already heard the commotion and led Liu Xianglian to greet them, bowing and honoring them before they even put the paper umbrella away.
“Two wise nephews, there's no need to be too polite.”
Aunt Xue quickly threw the paper umbrella to the ground and reached out to falsely support it, saying, "It's rare for you to come and visit Wenlong in such weather.”
“It's too late when it poured, otherwise we should have come earlier.”
As Sun Shaozong spoke, he straightened his waist and stroked his gaze from bottom to top, only to suddenly realize that there was a palm-like wet mark on the fiery red bra.
This...
Could it be that she accidentally got it when she came over just now?
But everything else on her body was fine. Why was it that only the lower part of her chest was wet, and she even got it right above her heart, covering half of her chest?
Should it be that Xue Pan's dead father, whose head was already green?
No!
Even if she wanted to have an affair with someone, there was no reason to specifically go to her son's yard to do so.
It seemed like it was just a coincidence.
Thinking recklessly in his heart, Sun Shaozong didn’t show any signs on his face and respectfully welcomed the mother and daughter into the room.
They saw Xue Pan leaning on the bed, although he didn't have enough breath, he still exclaimed excitedly, "Mother! Just now I heard Second Brother say that the Jinmen Mansion has great potential. Aren't you always accusing me of not doing my job? Today, I'll make a serious decision and move 30% of our people from Jiangnan to Jinmen Mansion first.”
Upon hearing this, Aunt Xue immediately was put in a difficult position. According to her daughter's wishes, her family was not suitable for having too much interest in the Sun family until the imperial rule could be determined.
Sun Shaozong had a big heart and with a slight effort, he straightened Aunt Xue's plump and moderate body, then hurriedly withdrew his claws.
Fortunately, Aunt Xue was facing everyone with her back at this moment, and all of this happened suddenly, and no one noticed the mystery.
But these actions couldn’t be concealed from others, how could they be concealed from Aunt Xue, the party involved?
Especially with the last effort, Aunt Xue couldn't help but let out another coquettish cry, and her oval face turned red for the most part. Her heart pounded like a drum, and she instinctively raised her hand to cover it tightly.
Seeing her restless appearance, Sun Shaozong was afraid that he might reveal any clues and quickly asked, "Aunt, are you okay? How did you fall?”
“I... I'm fine.”
Aunt Xue suddenly regained her composure and stroked her hand on her chest, nervously avoiding Sun Shaozong's gaze. She turned her head and angrily said, "What's wrong with you? Why are you pushing me?”
Afterward, Wang leaned out from behind the curtain, and no longer saw her usual domineering demeanor. She said, "I... Just now, across the curtain, I didn't expect you to stop at the threshold...”
It turned out that she had just followed behind, with all her eyes over Liu Xianglian's back. Seeing the curtain hanging down and blocking her view, she hurriedly stepped forward and lifted the curtain, wanting to follow outside.
Coincidentally, Sun, Liu, and the two of them stopped at the porch, and Aunt Xue had to stop with one foot inside and one foot outside the door. As a result, they were hit from behind by Wang, and their left foot hit the threshold, causing her to lose her balance and fall forward.
Aunt Xue saw that she softened and didn't criticize much, so she had to turn around and give a greeting and say, "Thank you very much for your help just now.”
Being thankful, however, she didn’t dare to look Sun Shaozong in the eye. She only felt that her left chest was hot and swollen, like a cage drawer, steaming white bun. The heat poured into her head along the veins, muscles, and bones, and her cheeks were red and swollen like a chest.
Seeing this, how could Sun Shaozong dare to stay for a long time?
Quickly returning to the room, he picked up the two oiled paper umbrellas, which were not considered women's styles. He forcefully gave Liu Xianglian one and hurriedly left. Seeing Xue Pan's small courtyard and the corridors connecting the front and back, Sun Shaozong breathed a little sigh of relief.
“Second Brother.”
At this moment, Liu Xianglian suddenly sighed and said, "Aunt Xue's life has been quite difficult...”
“Huh?”
This endless sentence made Sun Shaozong feel uneasy again. He secretly said, It can’t be that this kid has seen anything, can he?
He then heard Liu Xianglian saying, "Look at how angry she has become just now. Her face has turned red, but she dare not blame that wealthy and noble woman, Wang. It's not easy to provoke her.”
As he spoke, he boasted and said, "Just like me, marrying someone with no background and great beauty is then the right thing.”
Sun Shaozong, "...”
