Chapter 126 The Angry Shen

In this room Baoyu is reading a book by the window. Just as he said, he has been studying very hard these days.

Jia's mother was pleased and would make some soup and cakes for him from time to time. After Baoyu drank them, he worked even harder.

Hearing the maids quarreling outside, he did not ask any questions but lowered his head and continued reading.

"Second Master~"

Baoyu smiled and asked, "What's wrong today?"

Tao Er gathered her hair and walked towards Bao Yu step by step, half leaning against him, "Second Master, are you tired?"

Baoyu smiled and said, "Not bad."

Tao Er giggled and said, "Second Master, why don't you take a rest? You haven't played with us for a long time, and we are almost out of rouge cream."

Baoyu smiled and said, "Okay, wait until I finish reading this."

Tao Er made a look outside, and four or five maids came in, pulled Bao Yu and pestered him with a smile, "Second Master, come and play for a while."

"Yes, play for a while. It's a good idea to combine work with rest. Your eyes will get damaged if you work so hard. It's okay to take a break."

"Yes, look at my rouge today, isn't it nice? Don't you want to try it?"

…

As you and she chatted, Baoyu looked at the book in his hand. His desire to read began to waver. He thought, why not play for a while? It shouldn't delay anything. He can catch up later.

Didn’t the old monk say that he had passed the exam?

He reluctantly put down the book in his hand and started playing with the maids.

When Jia's mother heard that Baoyu was playing with the maids and did not express any opinion, she thought that combining work and rest was best, and she was afraid that her Baoyu would get tired.

But Baoyu was pestered by the maids and played all day long, and could no longer concentrate on his studies.

Even the desk was covered with dust. When Amber was cleaning, she looked at the dust on her hands and got furious. "You bastards, you actually hooked up with Master Bao and made him stop studying. I'm going to beat you to death."

Baoyu was having fun when he saw Amber pulling Xiaotao'er and slapped her, "Who do you think you are? You've brought trouble upon Master Bao."

Baoyu was stunned. Why did he get involved? Why did he hit Tao'er?

Tao'er cried, covering her face, leaning in Baoyu's arms, sobbing.

Baoyu was so distressed, "Sister, what are you doing?"

Amber said anxiously, "Second Master, these vixens are not behaving properly and will harm you."

Baoyu was stunned. Why would he hurt him? He is a very good person.

Seeing that Baoyu didn't understand, Hubei ran in to get the book that Baoyu had been studying hard a few days ago. Baoyu understood and said, "Put this aside for now."

Tao Er smiled and said to Bao Yu, "Second Master, Sister Amber can't bear to see you rest. She wants you to study hard so that you can pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar. She is fine now!"

Hubei looked at Tao'er who was mocking her and became even angrier. She said to Baoyu, "If the old lady asks about this, what will you say?"

She shook the book in her hand, and immediately dust flew in front of everyone. Tao'er's face turned pale and she wanted to run away, but Baoyu was not smart enough. He snatched the book from Amber's hand and rushed into the study.

Looking at the burning charcoal basin, he threw the book in his hand directly into it. He didn't enjoy looking at it, so he went to fetch many books and threw them all in. When the maid went up to destroy the charcoal, Baoyu stopped her like a madman and didn't allow her to do so.

"Why did you burn all these books?"

"You are a pure and innocent girl, but you have learned to seek fame and reputation, and have become a thief and a greedy person. It's a waste of your talent as a girl who was born with great talent!"

"These things that brought disaster to the ancients, why do we still keep them?"

The important thing is, when Baoyu saw Amber asking him to study, he inexplicably felt that the person in front of him was hateful. He was just like the people outside, who only cared about his career!

Therefore, all books except the Four Books had to be burned.

The frightened maids dared not say another word. Jia's mother was even more distressed and blamed the maids for being too radical. They told her not to control him playing anymore, saying that he had played enough and would study hard and read books. She also thought that she would pass the imperial examination anyway, so she should play a little. It would not be too late to study later as long as she was willing.

Who knows that I no longer have a heart.

…

Shen A-Jiao was eating melon seeds and drinking tea. She had picked out several snacks at home and brought a lot of melon seeds with her. When she had nothing to do, she would go find someone to eat melon seeds with.

Sure enough, within two days, people on the streets were talking about the affairs of the Shen and Lin families.

Shen Xiaoren was resentful because Lin Ruhai had taken away the master she had hired at a high price last time. She guessed that Shen Ajiao had sent people to monitor the Shen family and instigated Lin Ruhai to snatch the master away when the master was performing a ritual. She was so angry that she smashed several sets of tea bowls.

Uncle Shen even warned her not to do such a stupid thing again and warned the servants in the house. Shen's family agreed openly, but when Uncle Shen left, they turned around and asked someone to send a letter to the Jia family.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

I spent a lot of money to find people to go around the streets and alleys to spread rumors about Shen A-Jiao.

Just sit at home and wait for Shen A-jiao to be ruined.

The sun was shining brightly that day, and Shen thought that after being lazy for a few days, it was time to go out for a walk. He just wanted to buy some jewelry and clothes that were on sale. As soon as Shen left the Shen Mansion, someone hit him in the face with a cabbage stick, "Who is it?"

Before Shen Xiao could react, countless rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs were thrown at him.

"You troublemakers!"

"Go back, all of you."

Shen returned to his house under the protection of his servants, but his clothes and hair were covered with stinky vegetable leaves and egg liquid, which was disgusting.

"Tsk, take me to wash up!"

"Go check what's going on! Who is behind this?"

"If I knew who was behind this, I would skin him alive!"

…

The Shen family never went to the house, and had no idea what was happening outside.

Shen had no choice but to order his men to change clothes and climb over the wall to find out what happened.

I didn't know what it was, but I was shocked and so angry that I felt dizzy. I sat in the chair for a long time without being able to calm down.

"꽬人, do you want to invite me?"

"Why? You invite me!" Shen felt that he had been particularly irritable in recent days. Whenever something happened, he would feel dizzy and weak.

At this moment, except for the louder voice, he no longer had any strength to use. Fortunately, he took a deep breath after saying, "Go get my medicine."

The little maid hurriedly fetched a bottle of medicine. After Shen took it, she soon became more energetic.

"What's going on? Didn't I tell you to spread the message as I told you to?"

The little maid fell to her knees with a thud, raised her hand and swore, "You are the wise judge, I really did it according to your wishes, and I didn't dare to let anyone spread it until you approved it."

"So what's going on now?" Shen thought about how she had become what everyone called a vicious woman, which was contrary to what she had imagined. She felt more and more chest tightness and took a few pills of medicine.

The maid was about to say something but stopped herself from speaking, suppressing her fear and saying, "Master, the master said that you should not take too much of this medicine, it is..."

The last word was frightened back by Shen's eyes, and he knelt on the ground without saying a word.

When Uncle Shen came home from work in the evening, he looked at his door several times. Why did it smell so bad?

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Shen Yu sitting in the living room waiting for him.

"Why did you just come back?"

When Uncle Shen heard this, his irritability became even more violent, "You think I'm you, sitting at home doing nothing all day!"
