After hearing Mrs. Lin's heartfelt words, neither Wang Xifeng nor Sanchun felt comfortable.
Although they were saying it out loud, they were actually vomiting inside. When they heard Madam Wang bring the Xue family in, they smiled, but their smiles didn't reach their eyes.
[She's here! Let me take a look. I heard this Xue Baochai is incredibly beautiful, with fair skin and delicate features, like Yang Guifei. Not only does she have a good personality, but she also gets along very well with the young ladies of this family. Xiangyun is her number one supporter.]
[She's even managing her own family affairs; that's impressive.]
[They're all born of the same mother, so how could Xue Pan be the one to kill someone?]
Wang Xifeng, hmm? A good personality? How come she has the support of Xiangyun, that straightforward girl? Ha, she'd be the first to disagree if you said she wasn't cunning. Looks like I need to be careful of her.
I really have to thank Mrs. Lin for reminding me.
I just noticed Mrs. Lin's clothes and jewelry, and I think she likes them. I might as well give her a few similar pieces as a way of repaying her.
The three girls felt a headache coming on when they heard Xiangyun's name. That girl was straightforward and outspoken, and they had suffered countless injustices without any recourse. They didn't like her.
If one could subdue Xiangyun, that would be quite formidable, but Xue Baochai is not someone to befriend too closely.
Everyone's unanimous feeling about Xue Pan was fear. This person had killed someone at such a young age; it was terrifying!
Stay away from me, don't come near me. How could Xue Baochai be with a man whose brother killed someone? Ugh... Could it be that they...?
No way!
On the contrary, Lin Daiyu listened much more quietly. The lady didn't mention her in her words, which meant that this person was not familiar with her, so she could rest assured. The lady was still the best.
Who knew that the next second, [poor Lin Baobao, squeezed out by those petty schemes, was depressed and unhappy. She had been completely open and honest with them, yet she received betrayal. You treated them like sisters, but they wanted to use you as a stepping stone.]
Lin Daiyu: Her? Are they out of their minds? Comparing her to others isn't because she's arrogant, but apart from her maternal grandmother, no one in this family dares to say a word against her!
She was eager to see just who this Xue Baochai was, given her cunning nature.
When Aunt Xue entered, she sensed that the atmosphere in the hall was not right, so she led Xue Baochai forward to pay her respects to Grandmother Jia.
Wow! She's indeed a beautiful young woman with elegant manners and a lovely figure.
[Oh ho ho ho, this little girl, even if I had a conspicuous bag, I wouldn't be able to take my eyes off her.]
Wang Xifeng: Hmph, so pretentious!
Lin Daiyu: Sure enough, he's another conspicuous one; he falls in love with every girl he sees.
The next second,
"Grandmother, Madam, I heard that another sister has come to visit our family?"
"Where?"
Wasn't Baoyu supposed to be confined to his quarters? Was it just talk?
[What a loss! I should have ordered another 200 acres, damn it.]
Lin Daiyu: I think so too. If I had known, I would have been better off asking around.
[Listen to what he's saying, tsk tsk, I told you! Wherever there are older sisters and younger sisters, there he is, with that eye-catching red bag, always attracting attention. Can't he be serious? Older sisters~ Younger sisters~]
Lin Daiyu: Madam, I want to leave.
Grandmother Jia sternly rebuked, "Baoyu, stop fooling around! Don't you see there are guests here? Come and pay your respects to your aunt and your sister."
Baoyu, considering himself a polite child, immediately clasped his hands in a respectful bow, his eyes filled with tender affection as he looked at Xue Baochai.
"Where have I seen this lady before?"
Holy crap, that's shocking! It sounds familiar!
[Why do you immediately say "I've seen this lady before" when you see her with that eye-catching bag? Hmm? Is that some kind of flirting line?]
【Lin Baobao, take his turn!】
[Xue Baochai is flirting with him!]
He's not a good match; he's always looking for something better. You're just a substitute. Marrying him will only lead to a lonely and miserable life!
Before Shen Ajiao could even get a chance to show off her beauty, she heard Xue Baochai say, "You and I are cousins, and we must look like our parents. It's not impossible that we've seen each other in the mirror."
[My goodness, Xue Baochai's reaction is amazing!]
[We will never let an eye-catching bag gain even the slightest advantage.]
That's right, stay away from him, it'll bring you misfortune!
"That must be the reason. I saw my sister just the same time as before, sister..."
Xue Baochai forcefully pulled her hand away from Baoyu's grasp, smiled, and retreated to Aunt Xue's side, saying with a laugh, "Mother, look at Brother Bao like that, you'd think he was drunk."
Aunt Xue, upon seeing this, initially wanted to laugh and say that Xue Baochai was talking nonsense, but secretly she was pinched by Xue Baochai and quickly changed her tune, "That's right, she smells strongly of alcohol, and she can't even walk steadily."
Lady Wang was inexplicably upset today. Hearing her own sister say in front of everyone that her son had been drinking, she instantly lost her temper. "Baoyu! Come here!"
Baoyu was taken aback. What's wrong with Madam? Why is she so angry?
Is it bad to take too much medicine?
Baoyu blinked and smiled slightly at Xue Baochai.
Lady Wang was furious. Seeing that Baoyu was still so infatuated, she cursed him inwardly for being so useless.
Don't try to figure out where you are.
Grandmother Jia was displeased when she heard this. Everyone was there, and she, as a mother, couldn't scold her son behind everyone's back?
Insisting on doing it in front of everyone, Baoyu, disregarding his pride, glared fiercely at Madam Wang, saying, "You're so petty! Didn't you see it was your sister and her daughter joking around?"
"Baoyu, come here to Grandmother." Without waiting for a reply, she pulled Baoyu into her arms and smiled. "It's Rong'er's birthday today, and the crabapple blossoms are in bloom at the mansion. She invited us. You should come and have some fun later."
"Okay, okay,"
"Don't drink alcohol, or you'll upset your wife."
