Chapter 107: The Count of Baltic, Adding Legs to one's Sketch of a Serpent

"Erlang!"

He followed Zhou Rui to the front door of the flower hall and saw Jia Lian waiting on the steps.

"Second Master Li..."

Sun Shaozong had just arched his hand. Before he had finished greeting, someone behind him shouted, "Second Master, Second Master! There is an accident on the other side of the courtyard. Someone..."

Maybe the person saw that there was someone present, and the shouting stopped suddenly.

He then saw a sweaty servant boy running to Jia Lian's ear and whispering to him. Jia Lian's face changed a few times. Finally, he scolded, "Are these despicable b*stards going to rebel?!"

He then apologized to Sun Shaozong and said, "I have something urgent to deal with here, Erlang. You should wait here for a moment, and when the matter is over, I will punish myself with three cups of wine first!"

With that, he called Zhou Rui and hurried away.

This was really…

Sun Shaozong was silent in front of the flower hall. He then walked in and saw that the round table in the middle was already full of feasts for the banquets.

.

He went up to pick up a jar of wine, looked at the outer package a few times, and then poured himself a bowl of wine, and found that he had indeed drunk it before.

As a result, he became more and more convinced that the saying ”found a good aged wine” was just an excuse. Jia Lian called himself to help the Lai family pass through the examination.

But he didn't know that when Jia Lian came back later, Lai Da would follow him along. This method of putting somebody else’s trick to one's own use would achieve its best result if the main lead was present.

When he was thinking about how to deal with Lai Da when he was present, and what to say if Lai Da was not present, he suddenly felt that someone was snooping outside.

Sun Shaozong did not know anything. He glanced at the corner of his eye and saw a servant girl carrying a food box outside the flower hall, walking back and forth like she was walking through the city gate. A pair of peach blossom eyes kept looking around the flower hall.

This servant girl…

It seemed to be the one who stopped Liwan just now.

This food box…

It seemed to be the same as the one with the hidden love poems.

This couldn’t be…

Sun Shaozong secretly complained. Didn't he refuse last time? Why was this pretty widow still entangled?

He pretended not to see it, but he was afraid of being seen by others. Although he has a clear conscience, if such things could be said clearly, there wouldn’t be so many rumors in the world!

After a moment's hesitation, Sun Shaozong got up and went to the door to see that there were no people left or right. He then called the servant girl to ask, "Is this sister coming for me?"

The servant girl shyly came to the front, delivered the food box in her hand, and said, "Our Mad... Our Lan’er heard that it was Lord Sun who had arrived, so she asked me to send some snacks."

Looking at the appearance of the servant girl, it seems that she also knows some ”inside information.” Sun Shaozong was even more depressed. There was a saying that ”If the Emperor doesn't keep secrets, he will lose his officials; If the Ministers don't keep secrets, they will lose their innocence.” How could the pretty widow tell others about this?!

Sun Shaozong was wondering how to refuse Liwan implicitly and firmly so that it saves the trouble of her being entangled and causing any trouble.

Unexpectedly, Sister Shan, seeing that he refused to take over, put the food box on the steps, turned, and ran away.

"Hey, come back. Go back here..."

Sun Shaozong shouted twice, but Sister Shan was not willing to listen. She had already disappeared.

Dmn!*

What kind of situation is this?!

Sun Shaozong stood at the door speechless for a while and had no choice but to carry the food box into the flower hall.

He put it on the table and took off the lid. It's a common snack for large families. It's impossible to prepare anything in such a short time.

He fiddled with his chopsticks a few times and picked up a piece of paper under the pastry. Sure enough, it was also a love poem.

However, this time, it added a lot of resentment than the last time and denounced that the heart of a man was as hard as iron.

She also said that she wanted to ”forget each other from now on,” but ”toss and turn at night and couldn’t fall asleep.”

After much thought, she finally wrote this love poem, saying that if the Master changed his mind, he could return her a poem, which was pressed on the bottom of the plate.

If he still refused to ”give in to lovesickness,” she also asked him to give her his personal keepsake to soothe her lovesickness.

Sigh~

After looking at it for a long time, Sun Shaozong could not help sighing. If a person was too good, it would indeed cause many unnecessary troubles!

As for the matter of returning a poem or something…

First of all, Sun Shaozong needed to be able to write, so this option was directly excluded.

As for giving a personal keepsake or whatever, he was a little uncertain for a while.

The safest way was to choose neither. But the problem was that if there was no return at all, then Liwan should write her third love poem soon!

This comes and goes, in case anyone notices…

When Sun Shaozong was in a dilemma, he found that someone was peeping outside, looking out of the corner of his eye, the person was hiding in the flowers, and it wasn’t very clear.

Because when Liwan lowered her head, being shy, there was obviously some affection in it. Sun Shaozong never thought it was a trap set by others.

So he just thought it was the servant girl who had come back and wanted to see how he would deal with it.

Thinking like this, he didn't care too much.

At the same time…

In a quiet yard not far away, Mr. and Mrs. Lai were listening to a person reporting back.

"... Sister Shan left the food box and left right after. Lord Sun took the food box in, and I didn't know what he saw, he started to daydream."

Wang Xifeng was the most well-informed Master in the Rongguo Mansion.

But compared with the Lai Da couple, Wang Xifeng, on the other hand, was one notch behind them. Let's just say today. Since Sun Shaozong entered the door of the Mansion, everything he did in detail was under the supervision of Lai Da and his wife!

After listening to the latest progress, Lai Da waved his hand to let the trusted servant boy leave.

The husband and wife looked at each other, and Lai-Zhang could not help wondering, "What is Second Madam Lian plotting today? How come I don’t understand it?"

"Hmph!"

Lai Da sneered and said with disdain, "What else could it be? It's just some beauty trick. Isn't that how she killed Rui’er in the East Mansion?"

Lai Zhang's eyes widened when she heard and said, "You... You said that the Second Madam was going to seduce Sun..."

"Of course not!"

Lai Da said, "If that's the case, why should she let Ping’er lead the Eldest Madam to meet with Sun?"

After a pause, he sneered again, "I heard people say a few days ago that the Eldest Madam often gave food to the Martial Training Ground. I thought she was helping Lan’er, but now it's not that simple!"

"You mean..."

"The Eldest Madam must have an affair with Sun. The Second Madam Lian sensed something and wanted to make Sun listen to her!"

As Lai Da said with confidence, he suddenly thought of something. He pushed his wife and said, "Go home quickly and get the ”Southern Xinjiang Wedding Wine” and ”Reiki Tiger Pill!”

Lai Zhang was stunned, but she began to wriggle and said shyly, "How can you..."

"Again your head!"

Lai Da said angrily, "The Second Madam Lian is still young. If she doesn't add some spice to Sun in this broad daylight, where will there be a scene for her to catch?"
