He heard that his Elder Brother was not in the mansion, so Sun Shaozong had to go back to his courtyard first and change into plain clothes under the service of Ruan Rong.

After changing clothes, he was about to take off his boots and called for Furong to bring in a basin of hot water to scald his feet. Suddenly, someone came in and said in a crisp voice, "Sister, I..."

Halfway through, he saw Sun Shaozong sitting on the bed, quickly covering her mouth and chuckling, "This Shiliu, how could she not have reminded me? I accidentally disturbed the good things of my Master and Sister."

***Spit!***

Ruan Rong spat and cursed with a smile, "You treat me the same as you, accusing me of being neither black nor white. Even if I say it out loud, I'm not afraid of being laughed at!"

The person who came naturally was Second Sister You. She seemed a bit sour when listening to Ruan Rong's words and didn't dare to pick up trouble randomly. Standing there in a dilemma, she followed Sun Shaozong's instructions and said, "What are you doing? Go, get me a basin of water to scald my feet."

Second Sister You nodded in agreement and asked for a copper basin from Shiliu outside, then went to the small kitchen to fetch a basin of hot water and brought it back.

When Ruan Rong heard that Sun Shaozong was going to scald his feet, she quickly helped him take off his shoes and socks and asked Furong to take them out to give to the little maids for washing.

When the Second Sister You brought water, Ruan Rong took out several petal-shaped fragrant flowers and let Second Sister You dissolve them in water. She first applied a thin layer to his feet and then rubbed them in a copper basin.

While Sun Shaozong felt at ease both physically and mentally, he couldn't help but recall the service Lin Hongyu had given him that day. Since he was heading south, he might as well let Second Sister You learn something.

At this moment, Ruan Rong stood aside and said, "Sister Xiangling said that Qingwen doesn't seem to be very willing to go south with you. Why don't I discuss this with the Eldest Lady and exchange her with Yuanyang? Yuanyang is a considerate person, and I believe she can take care of you carefully."

This statement was half true and half false. Perhaps she also heard the rumors in the mansion, so she used his words to test Sun Shaozong.

Sun Shaozong gave her a sidelong glance and lazily said, "Let's not talk about whether Sister-in-Law can live without Yuanyang. With Siqi's rebellious nature alone, can she be under the control of Qingwen? When the two of them get into a fight, it will ruin our family's face!"

After a pause, he simply made his words clear and said, "You should listen less to the wind and rain in the future. If I want to gather Yuanyang, can Sister-in-Law stop me?"

Ruan Rong chuckled and agreed, then suddenly sat next to him. She also took off her red embroidered shoes and said, "Looking at you, feeling so comfortable, I'll follow along and get some shine."

Speaking, she lifted the two crescent-like heavenly feet upwards.

This was actually illogical. After all, Second Sister You was also a good concubine brought in by a sedan chair, serving the male master and the main wife. It was definitely not Ruan Rong's turn to engage in such misconduct.

But Second Sister You's initiative and boldness have always been reflected only between the beds. When facing Ruan Rong's difficulties, her courage was probably even smaller than that of Xiangling.

So she just hesitated for a moment, then held onto Ruan Rong's ankle, took off her stockings, and flattered, saying, "Sister, your skin care is really something that can’t be easily broken."

As she spoke, she prepared to dip the remaining fragrant flowers in water and apply them to Ruan Rong's feet

At this moment, Sun Shaozong suddenly spoke up and ordered, "Go and throw this dirty water first, and make a new basin."

Second Sister You quickly responded, picked up the copper basin, and hurried to the outside.

As soon as her figure disappeared behind the screen, Sun Shaozong immediately reached out and picked up Ruan Rong's tender feet. He viciously scratched them a few times and scolded, "Have you been too busy lately? Why have you been acting out of control?"

Ruan Rong trembled with laughter as she begged for mercy several times before Sun Shaozong let go of her tender feet.

With a tense face, wanting to take advantage of the situation and teach her a few more lessons, Ruan Rong suddenly plunged into his arms and locked her arms tightly around his neck. She said in a muffled voice, "I... am just panicking. How could I not be panicked if you have to be gone for so long?"

With a strong nasal tone in his voice, Sun Shaozong's heart softened as he listened. He wrapped his back around Ruan Rong's fragrant shoulder and gently patted her pink back, saying softly, "I'm just going to make some contributions, not that I’m not coming back..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ruan Rong covered his mouth and saw her tears swirling in anger, saying, "Don't say this is unlucky words. I want you to come back well and come back quickly!"

For the first time since giving birth, she has shown such a delicate and childlike demeanor.

Looking at her with tears in her eyes but an anxious expression, Sun Shaozong was both affectionate and amused, probing and saying, "Or, I might as well let Second Sister You stay with you. Anyway, this time I'm going to quell the rebellion, and the time to gather will be little."

"How could this be done?!"

Ruan Rong firmly rejected it, "When you go to fight against those barbarians, how can you still wash and cook for yourself when you return home? Even if you randomly search for some foolish women in the South, how can it be as good as being served by your own family?"

Sun Shaozong smiled bitterly and said, "So what do you want me to do?"

Ruan Rong buried her head back in his arms and said in a dreamy voice, "As long as you're okay, go and come back, and... and... don't forget me and Yi'er."

Although she was already a mother, she was only eighteen or nineteen years old, and she was in a foreign land with no relatives. If she was separated from her husband for a long time, she would inevitably feel a little anxious.

One was afraid that Sun Shaozong might make a mistake outside, and the other was worried that Second Sister You might become accustomed to being spoiled outside and replace her unique position.

Yesterday he was sleeping with Xiangling, and today dhe deliberately trampled on Second Sister You, and it was all because of the anxiousness she felt.

Sun Shaozong tightened his arm around her shoulder and said softly, "Don't worry, you have me in this world..."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard the sound of the pearl curtain outside. Ruan Rong hurriedly broke free from Sun Shaozong, wiping away tears while restoring her original sitting posture.

At this moment, she saw Second Sister You holding a copper basin and winding out from behind the screen.

As she approached, she placed the steaming copper basin on her foot mat and was about to rub Ruan Rong's heavenly feet. However, Ruan Rong suddenly shrank her feet, cleared her throat, and smiled, "Alright, I was just playing with you earlier. Why did you take it seriously?"

Then she turned her chin outward and said, "Go help me shout for Shiliu."

As she spoke, she gave Sun Shaozong a push and said, "Second Master, go and see Yi'er and your daughter too."

Knowing that she was probably impulsive, Sun Shaozong felt a bit embarrassed to meet people for a moment, so he took advantage of the situation and followed Second Sister You outside.

However, after instructing Shiliu to enter and serve, Sun Shaozong did not rush to see his children but directly led Second Sister You back to the West Wing.

Upon arriving at Second Sister You's room, Sun Shaozong tilted towards the bed and casually asked, "Has your Sister already gone back?"

"You almost bumped into her in the front yard."

Second Sister You also leaned half of her buttocks against the bed, took advantage of the situation, and pounded the beauty on Sun Shaozong's lap, not light or heavy. She said, "Yesterday, I tested her thoughts, and she should have you in her heart. It's just that she couldn't wipe away her face for a while."

Not only in her heart, but it almost reached her stomach that night.

Without adjusting his mind, Sun Shaozong asked in his mouth, "How did you test it? You didn’t ask it directly, right?"

"How could I dare?!"

Second Sister You quickly explained, "I just said that you often praise her for being good. I think you have a good impression of her. If she finds a suitable opportunity, why not say a few good words for me?"

Speaking again, she falsely claimed that Sun Shaozong had a grudge against her.

After hearing this, Sun Shaozong reached out and pinched her soft chin, asking with a smile on his face, "I usually see you as an honest person, but how could you give up on so many flirtatious ideas?"

"I think for the sake of my Master, that's why..."

As soon as Second Sister You finished speaking, she felt a tightness in her chin. At the same time, Sun Shaozong's face also cooled down and he scolded in a deep voice, "How dare you deceive me? Be honest!"

Second Sister You's delicate body trembled, almost slipping along the edge of the bed to the ground. Who would dare hide anything now?

She replied, “Third Sister You held a grudge against the humiliation she had suffered in the past, so she deliberately planned to retaliate against you. She spoke out like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.”

After listening to her account, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but sneer, saying, "I think she was quite happy with herself back then, but now how has it become a great shame?"

Second Sister You said somewhat helplessly, "Since she recognized Young Master Liu, she has changed a lot. She doesn't even have the carefree personality she used to have. She worries about Young Master Liu's accounting of her past, so she hates her Older Sister even more."

***Tch!***

What Liu Xianglian liked was the carefree personality of Third Sister You, but she already changed her temperament before she even got married. He didn’t know what kind of life they would develop in the future.

Sun Shaozong was worried about Liu Xianglian's married life while sneering, "She's not satisfied with others and wants to use me as a raft. No, she probably even drew a big cake for you, right? Otherwise, how could you be so enthusiastic?"

Second Sister You saw that she couldn't hide it from him, so she quickly uncovered her intention to extort gold and silver jewelry afterward.

Perhaps it was because after a few years of poverty, Second Sister You was particularly concerned about gold and silver things

Wait!

After taking her to Huguang, this woman wouldn’t accept bribes behind his back, would she?!

It seemed that before leaving, he must first make an agreement with her.

Thinking about all these things, Sun Shaozong sternly scolded, "How can you listen to your Sister talking nonsense? If she dares to encourage you to act recklessly in the future, just spit at her in person and don't listen to her at all!"

Second Sister You immediately looked a bit dumbfounded. Although Sun Shaozong had not explicitly agreed before, he still showed some interest. How could he suddenly change his mind?

Seeing her hazy appearance, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but sigh. He moved his hand up and shook her nose back and forth, saying, "You foolish woman, even if it's your Sister, how dare she handle this kind of thing? What if something is going on in the future, and she uses it to blackmail us?" ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel·fire.net

Not to mention Old Lady You, she obviously wanted to retire at the Sun family, and her temperament was also very soft, making it easy to hold.

However, Third Sister You was a radical and capricious master. This could be seen from her initial seduction of Jia Zhen and her son, and now, finding ways to seek revenge.

Therefore, Sun Shaozong would never let her hold onto his flaws.

Upon hearing these words, Second Sister You was momentarily stunned before hesitating and saying, "Actually... Third Sister also has a deadly flaw in my hand."

Speaking, she whispered a few words in Sun Shaozong's ear.

"What?!"

Sun Shaozong suddenly widened his eyes and said, "How could she have killed someone?!"
