📢 New Novel Launch!

After listening to everything that happened last night, Wang Xifeng walked back and forth in the room with two slender and well-proportioned long legs and a pair of apricot-colored embroidered shoes. The complex emotions between her eyebrows were almost enough to open a grocery store.

After a while, she stopped and suddenly turned to face Ping'er. She almost threw off her coat, draped over her shoulders, but didn't even bother to give it a hand. She stared with her triangular phoenix eyes and asked word by word, "What do you plan to do with this situation?"

Although it was just a few words, it seemed to have exhausted Wang Xifeng's entire strength. Her towering chest rose and fell sharply, almost bursting into the belly pockets of the mandarin duck weaving, ready to fly together.

Ping'er changed her kneeling position while using both hands and feet and then kowtowed to Wang Xifeng. She said in a wooden tone, "To be honest, to be honest with Second Madam, if I were stubborn last night, Sun wouldn’t dare to force me either."

"It's good that you know!"

Wang Xifeng sternly said, "Although this matter was done by Second Master, if you little hoof didn't have any ulterior motives, how could you have unknowingly slept in Sun Erlang's bed?! And you have slept well with Little Hoof surnamed Lin too!"

So, the resentment towards Jia Lian was divided into half on Ping'er. She picked up her embroidered shoes and compared them to Ping'er, intending to kick her up. However, seeing Ping'er's calm expression, she reluctantly endured it.

With a stern expression, she asked, "What are your plans for kneeling in front of me this morning?"

"Reply to the Second Madam’s words."

Ping'er's face showed a hint of sadness as she said softly, "I'm tired of it, so I'll just follow your wishes."

Was it that simple?

Wang Xifeng looked at Ping'er suspiciously for a while, then suddenly remembered a passage and hurriedly said, "So, did the Second Master wants to give you to the Second Master of the Sun family as a Concubine? Are you also planning to follow the Second Master's wishes?"

As she finally realized the key, Ping’er's heart couldn't help but twitch, and she struggled to suppress her bowing head, saying, "I'm really tired. If Lord Sun doesn't mind my ruined body, I'll be..."

"No way!"

Unexpectedly, Wang Xifeng suddenly let out a low growl and said decisively, "You are my big maid in the house. Whether you leave or stay, it's not his turn, Jia Lian, to make the decision!"

She then carefully wrapped her crimson coat around her body, took out her obscene pants and a five-colored pleated skirt, and dressed them neatly. She hurriedly combed her hair on her head and said without doubt, "You have the right to assume that this has never happened before. On my side, I will naturally find a way for you!"

***Bang!***

Before she could finish speaking, Ping'er made another sound and knocked her head on the ground, saying in a sorrowful voice, "I beg you to pity me, Second Madam. If it weren't for the Second Master's promise to give me to Lord Sun, I wouldn't dare to part ways..."

"Is that the case?!"

Wang Xifeng turned around and glared at Ping'er, emphasizing again, "I will seek justice from Second Master for you!"

Then, she threw the rhinoceros horn comb in her hand onto the dressing table and walked out of the bedroom with a heavy face like water.

In the living room, she gritted her two rows of silver teeth with a clattering sound, cursed a few times inwardly, and barely calmed down her anger before finally removing the crossbar and pushing the door out.

Sister Shan was reluctantly repairing the flower garden in the courtyard when she saw Wang Xifeng with a calm face coming out of it. She quickly flicked the scissors to repair the branches and leaves and bowed in greeting.

Before she could finish the ritual, Wang Xifeng asked with a stern expression, "Is Second Master in the study?"

Upon hearing the tone, Sister Shan bent her body a few more times and timidly said, "I think so? Anyway, I woke up early this morning and I didn't see Second Master leave the room."

Wang Xifeng casually asked, but before Sister Shan could finish speaking, she left her and walked to the door of the inner study room. She raised her hand and patted it heavily, intending to knock on the door, but to her surprise, the door was open. With this heavy slap, it opened left and right, revealing a couple full of spring tide inside the room!

Looking at the expression on his face, Wang Xifeng thought that the two of them were doing something promiscuous, and her anger grew even more intense. Without hesitation, she took steps to break in.

But after entering the door, she felt something was wrong again. Although the two of them blushed and seemed to be in a passionate relationship, there was a whole round table between them. Even if Jia Lian put that thing on his toes, there was probably still a gap of three to five inches.

And she suddenly pushed the door in, even if they wanted to cover up their affair, she was afraid they wouldn't have time to distance themselves.

So what exactly were these adulterous couples doing just now?

In a moment of doubt, Jia Lian saw her storming in and quickly got up, saying, "What's wrong with this? Who messed with you again this morning?"

During the conversation, he signaled to Lin Hongyu to temporarily avoid it.

"Hmph!"

Wang Xifeng snorted coldly and sneered at Lin Hongyu, saying, "Wait outside the door for now, and I'll settle accounts with you later!"

Lin Hongyu's body trembled with fear, and she cast a panicked look at Jia Lian for help. Unexpectedly, Jia Lian didn't even glance at her, making it clear that she was going to get rid of the burden and kill the donkey.

Being helpless, Lin Hongyu had no choice but to wait outside the door with resentment, secretly pondering whether the matter of taking a concubine could still be done properly.

After Lin Hongyu close the door to the room, Wang Xifeng's face became even colder. A pair of red phoenix eyes, like knives, were gouged out on Jia Lian's face, and she gritted her teeth and asked, "Are you crazy?! That naughty hoof outside is fine. What are you doing to push Ping’er to the Sun family's Erlang?"

Although Jia Lian had no hope of keeping this matter from Wang Xifeng, it was somewhat surprising that Ping'er would confess to Wang Xifeng as soon as possible.

Therefore, for a moment, Jia Lian innocently spread out his hand and said, "When I wanted to be intimate with Ping'er before, there were obstacles everywhere. Now, I just took advantage of your intentions and gave her to someone else once and for all. How could you be angry again?"

Wang Xifeng was countered and her momentum weakened by three points. She then questioned, "Even if you want to give her up, you should have informed me!"

"This is my fault."

Jia Lian immediately put on a look of knowing his mistakes and being able to change them. He bowed and sang a fat song, "Please forgive me, Madam!"

Seeing him behave humbly, Wang Xifeng's tone softened a bit, but it was still unquestionable as she said, "I don't care if you are sincere or insincere. Anyway, this matter ends here!"

"So, the meaning is..."

"Naturally, it's like nothing happened!"

Wang Xifeng said decisively, "Ping'er, I will naturally feel relieved. You have to also ask Sun Erlang to ignore it. Don't worry about your promise anymore!"

"How could this be done?!"

Jia Lian suddenly became a little anxious. He put his hands back to his waist and called out like a teapot, "I promised Erlang. A great man who promises is worth a thousand gold coins..."

When he mentioned the words *”a great man,”* he noticed that Wang Xifeng's gaze was not right. He quickly took his hands away from his waist and said shyly, "Anyway, I will never eat my words and become a person who breaks my promise!"

"Then give Xiaohong to him!"

Wang Xifeng also refused to give up at all, "How many things in this mansion need to be taken care of by Ping'er from top to bottom? How many secrets do we have in our family, held in Ping'er's hands? You want to send someone out with just a light and floating promise, isn't that crazy?"

"I..."

Jia Lian was still debating when Sister Shan outside suddenly reported, "Second Master, someone has been sent from Second Master Bao's place to invite you to lead the arrest of the thief from last night!"

Jia Lian immediately changed his tone and asked, "Did the Second Master of the Sun family go?"

After a while, he heard Sister Shan's reply. It was Sun Shaozong who was already waiting outside the Grand View Garden. He couldn't wait to tidy up his crown belt and rushed out with great enthusiasm, saying, "When I come back, let's discuss it again!"

Wang Xifeng chased after him and shouted, “No discussion,” but he seemed to have not heard her and quickly left the courtyard door.

Wang Xifeng turned around in displeasure and saw Lin Hongyu standing with her hand hanging down beside her. She called her up and sternly questioned her about what she had been doing with Jia Lian in the room just now.

At first, Lin Hongyu hesitated and wanted to pass it off, but was scolded by Wang Xifeng a few times. Feeling that this matter was not a secret, she blushed and said, "Actually, I didn't do anything. The Second Master just asked me about the matter of yesterday. Yesterday, I was serving alongside Sister Ping’er... he asked about the details of serving Lord Sun very carefully."
