Chapter 301: The Daily Life in the Backyard of Sun Mansion

Leaving Dingxiang Tower, the carriage passed by the night full of moonlight back to the mansion; it was already around ten o'clock in the evening.

The lights in the mansion have mostly gone out, but the Second Butler, Zhao Zhongji, has not slept yet.

As soon as Sun Shaozong got out of the carriage, he quietly gathered up and said that in the evening, Jia Yun, a subsidiary of the Jia family, had come to meet him with a gift and waited in the living room for half an hour before leaving.

The last time Sun Shaozong returned home with Yingchun, he said a few good words on behalf of Jia Yun. At that time, Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu promised to arrange a job for him. Now it seemed that they had already fulfilled their promise, so Jia Yun prepared the gift for his mansion.

Looking at Jia Yuns obedience temperament, Jia Yun was a pity

After speaking with Zhao Zhongji, Sun Shaozong hesitated slightly at the fork in the road and walked towards his own courtyard. He would definitely not be able to remain loyal, but he could still maintain his love for the new and the old.

When he arrived at the courtyard, he saw that the lights were still on in both the western chamber and the hall.

Sun Shaozong went first to the window of the western chamber and gently tapped on the edge of the window. When the sound of Xiangling's inquiry came from inside, he raised his voice and ordered, "What time is it now? Hurry up and rest; it's not too late to read your poem again tomorrow.

Xiangling reluctantly agreed, and immediately a little maid entered the room and extinguished the lantern.

This bookworm

When she first got pregnant, she had already restrained herself for two months. Seeing her stomach getting bigger and bigger, she resumed her old ways and spent the whole day holding poetry in her hands.

He heard the movement in the courtyard and saw Shiliu, dressed in clothes, coming out of the hall.

Sun Shaozong didn't speak either. He opened his arm towards her, and Shiliu immediately returned. Soon, she took out a lantern and shone it back and forth on him. She was reciting words. She was humming a nursery rhyme to dispel ghosts.

Generally speaking, if there were children under the age of one at home and adults returned late, they should first remove the dirt from their bodies.

Although Sun Shaozong was an atheist, he naturally didnt deliberately challenge such conventions.

Therefore, obediently waiting for Shiliu to finish working, he picked up the curtain and went in. However, he was not in a hurry to find Ruan Rong but ran to the west room where his son was located first.

After entering the door, he saw the nanny and child sleeping on the bed and another night maid sleeping on the floor in the corner.

Although Sun Shaozong tiptoed to the bed, the nanny was still startled. This was also a necessary quality for the night nanny; otherwise, if the child woke up and she was still sleeping soundly, what was her use?

Seeing that Sun Shaozong had arrived, the nanny quickly and silently saluted with her mouth.

Sun Shaozong waved his hand to indicate that she didn't need to move and then leaned forward to look at his son sleeping inside. He saw that the boy was sleeping soundly with his fists raised and smooth breathing; the soft part of his head was also slightly undulating.

Perhaps sensing his father's prying gaze, the little guy suddenly, with his eyes closed, shook his head, and his pink mouth clicked open and closed.

Upon seeing this, the nanny quickly lifted the clothes she had already covered up, pulled out a swollen granary, and stuffed it into the child's mouth.

Uh~

Later on, Sun Shaozong felt embarrassed to continue looking, as these nannies also had husbands and children, unlike those intimate maids who could be enjoyed at will.

So he quietly withdrew from the west room and turned his head into the master bedroom across from him. He saw Ruan Rong leaning against the bedside in clothes, with a twelve or thirteen-year-old maid next to her, who had already prepared a copper basin for washing.

Xiangling has become crazier these days, and she isnt afraid of spoiling her eyesight. Tomorrow, let Shiliu or Furong take good care of her for a few days.

As Sun Shaozong spoke, he walked to the window and first put his hand into a copper basin to soak it. He then wiped it clean on the towel before sitting on the bed. With ease, he reached his arm into the blanket and stirred it on the white jade pillar-like leg.

The little maid quickly picked up his shoes and stockings for him, put them into a copper basin, and rubbed them gently.

Then, he heard Ruan Rong lazily saying, "She just loves poetry and becomes obsessed. It's not a bad thing. If you feel heartbroken, you might as well take her out to relax. Isn't it a good time to go hiking now?

An outing?

Sun Shaozong glared with a fit of feigned anger and said, "I think it's probably because you want to go out and relax.

As he spoke, he reached out to the delicate spot and twisted it in a naughty gesture.

Ruan Rong was a bit overwhelmed at the moment, blushing and stomping on his buttocks, angrily saying, "Just wash your feet honestly; what's wrong with you?

After a pause, she said again, "I really want to go outside the city to relax. It's best to ride a horse and hunt some rabbits or something alone.

Seeing the hopeful expression on her face, Sun Shaozong also got serious and made some calculations before saying, "I'm afraid it won't be possible in the next two days. The Ministry of Justice will send someone to review the prison case. As the chief official, it's inconvenient for me to take a leave. Let's wait until I finish dealing with this matter. I estimate it will be another three or two days, and that's about it.

Upon hearing Sun Shaozong's promise to go on a spring outing outside the city, Ruan Rong was in a great mood, but suddenly remembered a trivial matter and quickly told Sun Shaozong.

In the evening, Concubine Ni in his Big Brother's house came crying to her door, saying that she wanted to beg Sun Shaozong for mercy again and spare her brother Nier.

Ruan Rong didn't know exactly what was going on, so she naturally didn't dare to respond casually. She just perfunctorily said a few words to Concubine Ni and then chased her away.

Upon hearing that it was this matter, Sun Shaozong said with some anger, "Her brother is really an indestructible person. I thought he was still quite sensible, so I helped him find a job in the prison. Who knew that this guy is very bold and reckless, and soon after taking office, he treated the female workers as prostitutes?

I only sentenced him to one year in prison; it's already an extralegal favor.

If Concubine Ni dares to come back, you can just have someone drive her out.

Ruan Rong originally didnt want to get involved in this matter, so listening to Sun Shaozong's command, she naturally had no other words to say.

The couple chatted a few more times, and Sun Shaozong hesitated for a long time before finally informing Ruan Rong about the relationship between Baoyu and Jiang Yuhan.

After all, looking at Baoyu's determination, he probably hasn't lost his innocence. At most, his emotions were surging.

Not to mention how Sun Shaozong and Ruan Rong transitioned from a family feud to a battle in bed.

The candlelight in the main courtyard hall continued to shine until around midnight. Although Jia Yingchun didn't say anything while sitting by the bedside, who couldn't tell that she was waiting for Sun Shaozong to come?

Just after 11 pm, Siqi came in with a yawn from outside. Seeing that the threads on Yingchun's clothes had not moved, she couldn't help but scold and say, "Xiuju, are you blind? It's already late; why don't you hurry up and serve the Madam to rest?

As she spoke, she said to Yingchun, "After all, the Second Master also has a family. No matter how much he adores you, he cant come to accompany you every day.

Yingchun's face showed a blush of shame, and she hastily defended herself, "I just wanted to tell the Second Master about the matter entrusted by Sister-in-law, and I didn't mean anything else.

Siqi said, "Madam, don't wait anymore. Tomorrow morning, I'll find an excuse to go find the Second Master and tell him about this.

At this moment, Xiuju came in holding a copper basin for washing. Upon hearing Siqi's words, she felt a bit reluctant to get up. She placed the copper basin on the shelf, waiting for Yingchun to come forward and wash, and with a hint of hostility, she said, "Don't bother Sister Siqi; I'll go tell the Second Master. It will be the same too.

You are going to inform the Second Master?

Siqi gave her a contemptuous glance and sneered, "If you were to meet the Second Master, I'm afraid you wouldn't have opened your mouth, but your two coquettish hooves.

You, you

Xiuju was so embarrassed that she stormed away.

What are you trying to say?

Siqi sneered and said, "Don't think that if you climb onto the high branch of the Second Master, you can act highly in front of me. If you mess around and ruin the reputation of the Madam and Second Master, lets see who can spare you.

Since giving up her body to Sun Shaozong, Xiuju has had the desire to compete with Siqi in her heart.

But it shattered her mind when she was caught between the guns and the stick, and when she saw that Siqi was holding her chest and arms open with a reckless demeanor of being ready to fight till the end, she immediately became timid.

Okay, thats enough.

Jia Yingchun quickly became a peacemaker on the side and said, "Siqi, why don't you go back to the Western Chamber and rest? Just let Xiuju here to serve.

Siqi didn't refuse, and with a twist of her buttocks, she left the hall.

When she walked away, Xiu Ju stamped her feet angrily and said, "She just relied on the strength of her arm, she bullies people like this.

After last night's heart-to-heart communication, Yingchun was a bit more cheerful than usual. Upon hearing her complaints, she couldn't help but tease and say, "Second Master also has two arms of strength. When he bullies you, why don't you complain about something too?

Madam!

Xiuju was too shy, so she stepped forward and laughed with her into a mess.
