The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 15: The Chu Overlord, the Foolish Overlord, and the Jia Overlord

The next morning, Sun Shaozong vaguely opened his eyes, only to find that he had been lying on the table all night, but there was no sign of Jia Lian. He was probably sent back to his bedroom by the servants.

So while he was hitting his aching temple due to the hangover effect, he could not help complaining that the servants of the Jia family favored one over the other.

In fact, he has wronged others. Last night, four or five servants started to work together, wanting to send him back to the room for rest. They were stunned that they could not even lift him from the wine table. On the contrary, he made a random hand flip and overturned several of them. In this way, who else dares to touch him?

When Sun Shaozong was complaining in the hall, he heard a rush of footsteps outside the door and looked up. It was Ruan Rong who came in a hurry, followed by a pretty maid behind her.

When their eyes met, Ruan Rong saw that his eyes were bloodshot and had a hangover appearance. She could not help but feel distressed and angry. It's just that it's hard to say anything because someone else was there too. She pointed to the side tea table and said, "Zi Juan, put down your things and go back to sister Daiyu first."

Zi Juan was holding a basin of clear water. She looked up and down at Sun Shaozong curiously. Hearing what Ruan Rong said, she hurriedly said, "What are you saying, Miss Rong? If I left like this, how would I be able to explain it to my lady?"

As she said this, she put the copper basin in her hand on the table and soaked the towel to wipe the stains on Sun Shaozong's face.

Sun Shaozong looked up and laid back. He said with a smile, "You can put it down, I can do it myself. I feel awkward being served like this."

Zi Juan was stunned when she heard the speech. She looked back at Ruan Rong and saw that she had no opinion before letting Sun Shaozong take the towel and wash himself up.

When Sun Shaozong finished washing, there was no sign of Zi Juan in the room. On the thought that he didn't need to be served, so she went back to Lin Daiyu.

At the thought of Daiyu, Sun Shaozong couldn't help whispering to himself, "What does Miss Lin look like? Jia Lian drank too much yesterday, but he praised her a lot in front of me."

Although he had never read the story of the ”Dream of the Red Mansion,” Sun Shaozong also knew that there were so many beautiful women in the story of the Dream of the Red Mansion, and Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai were the best among them. Therefore, his curiosity seemed to swell and could not be suppressed.

Ruan Rong heard his questions and was alert at first. Then she was relieved at the thought of Daiyu's age. She smiled and said, "Daiyu is naturally born with an excellent personality and literary grace. Otherwise, how could I recognize her as my sister?"

"What? You recognized her as your sister!"

Sun Shaozong was shocked and blurted out, "But you've only known each other for a day?"

Ruan Rong rolled her eyes, stretched out her hand, and twisted it around his arm. She pretended to be angry and said, "What’s wrong with knowing her for one day? Didn't I also get along with ”somebody” for one day and take him as a lifelong lover!"

Sun Shaozong was suddenly speechless.

It has to be said that Ruan Rong was a ”resolute” master. First, she fell in love with him in only one day. Now, it took only one day to recognize Lin Daiyu as a sister.

Seeing that Sun Shaozong was speechless, Ruan Rong couldn't help laughing and said, "My sister is only 11 or 12 years old now, so don't worry about her. Besides, I'm afraid that with her refined nature and pure quality, she won't like such a rough man as you."

"What?!"

Sun Shaozong pretended to be shocked and said, "You know just how thick I am. How can you tell the little girl the results of your measurement?"

Ruan Rong was baffled at first. Then she suddenly understood the meaning and started punching him in shame. Sun Shaozong dodged and took her in his arms with a backhand, laughing proudly.

Ruan Rong took advantage of the situation and bit him twice on his chest, but she couldn't hold back her feelings and smiled back and forth in his arms.

After all, this was not a secluded place, so after hugging each other and laughing it through, they hurriedly separated into two places.

Sun Shaozong explained, "I'm going to help Brother Lian deal with the rest of the chores first, and we can return to the capital as soon as possible. So I need to trouble you to wait here for two days. Fortunately, you have just met a younger sister, and you won't feel lonely in this government office. "

After a pause, he added, "Don't forget to ask your sister about the interesting things and activities in Yangzhou city. I'll take you around before we return."

Seeing that even if Sun Shaozong had a hangover, he was still thinking about taking her to the city. Ruan Rong was very fond of it and continued sticking to him and chatting before she reluctantly returned to the backyard.

—Dividing Line—

At the same time, Zi Juan was talking about Sun Shaozong in front of Daiyu.

"You haven't seen it, My Lady."

She rolled up her cuffs and drew her hands together in mid-air, making a circle thicker than a bucket. "Lieutenant Sun’s arm is so thick and only has one thigh, I'm afraid it could match the stature of our Second Master Bao!"

However, it turned out that Daiyu sent Zi Juan to serve Ruan Rong as a considerate act towards Ruan Rong, but the main purpose was to have a look at what kind of person her sister was deeply in love with.

Listening to Zi Juan's exaggerated description, she places the pieces of information together silently in her heart. Suddenly, she frowned and said, "After listening to you, isn't Lieutenant Sun similar to Xue's family brother?"

Xue Pan left a very bad impression on Daiyu. It could be said that it was a muddy thing. This connection between the two made her have the same bad impression she had of him and she thought it was not worth it for her sister Ruan Rong.

"Young Master Xue?"

Zi Juan was stunned at first, then hurriedly shook her head like a rattle, and said urgently, "How can it be the same?! Apart from being arrogant and unreasonable, he is nothing like an Overlord. However, Lieutenant Sun was so powerful that he had the shadow of Overlord Chu.”

As she said this, she lowered her voice slightly and whispered, "To tell you the truth, just a casual move by Lieutenant Sun can puff up his long shirt, as if it were not flesh but iron ingots! Yesterday, when I heard Miss Rong talk about his fight with assassins, I just thought it was an exaggeration, but now, it might be true."

"Overlord of Chu..."

Lin Daiyu mumbled these three words and then pieced together in her mind the picture of Sun Shaozong holding Ruan Rong affectionately, talking and laughing, and the thieves fleeing at the mere sight of him for a moment. She was a little crazy.

After a few seconds, Daiyu could not help but replace Sun Shaozong with Bao Yu. However, she could not think of the heroic appearance of "Overload Jia being brave, kills and repels the thieves in an instant.”

“If you and Brother Bao encounter such a situation, I'm afraid it's more reliable to hold hands and flee together in a panic.”

Thinking of this, Daiyu couldn't help but laugh back and forth.

Zi Juan accompanied her, but she couldn't help sobbing. She hadn't seen Daiyu laugh this seriously for a long time. Just by laughing, she knew it was worth it.
