The next morning, Jia Lian heard that Qi Guan was going to drink with a few young masters at Huiying Tower, so he came here early to wait. He drank pot after pot of tea, but his expression became more and more relaxed.

After days of running around, I finally have a chance to take a break.

Jia Lian knew that if he continued to wait like this in the mansion, he would definitely be called over by the old lady and the lady to ask him all sorts of questions and urge him.

It's really annoying.

Especially when he saw Jia Baoyu's leisurely and comfortable appearance, he became even more angry.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Jia Lian stared intently at the door. Unexpectedly, he did not wait for Qi Guan, but for Lin Chengyu and Xuan Zheng.

He sighed in his heart at an inappropriate time, saying that these two people had a very good relationship, and then he went to greet them with a smile on his face.

"Brother Lian, why are you here?" Lin Chengyu looked past Jia Lian and looked at the table where he was sitting. There was no one else there. "Brother Lian, how come you have time to come here for tea today?"

Jia Lian first greeted Xuan Zheng respectfully, then looked at Lin Chengyu and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Don't say it, I'm really exhausted these past few days."

Lin Chengyu thought for a moment and realized that he was talking about Jia Baoyu, "Then why is Second Brother Lian here today..."

"Wait for someone." This was not the place to talk. Jia Lian followed the two upstairs. After reaching the side room and closing the door, he lowered his voice and said, "A man named Qi Guan. After the old lady and the lady learned about this man from Baoyu, they decided to let him go...seduce the crown prince of Qianxiang Kingdom, and then go to Qianxiang Kingdom instead of Baoyu."

Lin Chengyu and Xuan Zheng looked at each other. They didn't expect that the Jia family was planning this.

Lin Chengyu asked in confusion, "But Qi Guan is from Prince Zhongshun's palace. Even if he is willing, Prince Zhongshun may not release him. What are you thinking that you would find him?"

King Zhongshun?

Jia Lian's eyes widened, as if he was shocked and stunned, and he asked in disbelief: "Who does he belong to?"

"Someone from Prince Zhongshun's palace."

Jia Lian was completely dumbfounded.

If he had known this earlier, he would not have agreed to it, nor would he have waited here foolishly.

"I don't know." Jia Lian slapped his head and said angrily, "It was Baoyu who mentioned Qi Guan in front of the old lady and the lady, and they forced me to find Qi Guan. Otherwise, how would I know such a person?"

Jia Baoyu really wants to kill their Jia family!

Jia Lian was so angry that he almost died. Although he was a bit of a bastard, he was always very cautious when he went out. He knew all his friends well and had never caused any trouble for his family.

But Jia Baoyu, this fool, didn't even know who was standing behind him, yet he dared to call him a brother, and even... and...

Jia Lian was so angry at Jia Baoyu that he wanted to go back to the mansion to report to his mother, but Lin Chengyu stopped him and said, "Brother Lian, why are you in such a hurry? We haven't gotten together for a long time. I'll treat you to a drink today."

Jia Lian was in no mood to drink at this moment. He smiled bitterly and said, "Let's talk about drinking another day. Because of Baoyu's marriage, there has been a lot of commotion at home these days. I have to go back and report to the old lady."

Lin Chengyu chuckled a few times, then suddenly asked him, "What are you doing now, Brother Bao?"

Jia Lian's face was full of impatience, of course, directed at Jia Baoyu, "What else can he do? Don't you know him? He just eats, drinks and has fun, and never does anything serious."

"That's it, he's not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?" Lin Chengyu is very vindictive. If anyone offends him, don't expect to have a good life. "He's not in a hurry, and I think my second aunt is not in a hurry either. You run around for his affairs all day, and I think you must be exhausted. Why don't you take a break? This matter can't be rushed."

Jia Lian thought so too. If the main character wasn't in a hurry, why should he be so anxious? If he hadn't met Cheng Yu, and he had offended Prince Zhongshun, who would have been running around for him?

It's boring to think so.

Relatives should help each other, but the second wife always treats him as an errand boy. Even if Jia Lian doesn't care, he can't help feeling some resentment in his heart.

What happened today has completely aroused all the resentment.

Jia Lian returned home with a heart full of resentment and anger. When he saw Jia Baoyu, he was immediately furious and his rationality was burned away completely.

"It's fine if you do nothing all day, but Qi Guan is your friend, and you dare to let him replace you without even knowing his identity. You are really asking for your life."

"If I hadn't known about this in advance, our Jia family would have been killed by your stupidity."

Jia Baoyu was still thinking about who to go out and play with later, but was suddenly scolded by Jia Lian and was stunned for a moment.

Jia Lian had always treated him well and had never scolded him like this. Jia Baoyu felt so wronged that his eyes were red. "Second brother, what's wrong with you? Let's talk nicely. You just said so many inexplicable things to me right away. How can I understand you?"

Jia Lian sneered and pulled him to Lady Jia.

Looking at the two men's posture and seeing Jia Baoyu's red eyes and innocent look, Jia's grandmother wanted to scold Jia Lian for not caring for his younger brother, but Jia Lian took the lead.

He said, "Madam, that Qi Guan is not an ordinary actor at all. He is from Prince Zhongshun's mansion, and Prince Zhongshun thinks highly of him."

Grandmother Jia was shocked and asked hurriedly, "Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true." Jia Lian was so angry that he glared at Jia Baoyu. "Baoyu has known him for so long, but he didn't know anything about this."

Jia Baoyu looked innocent, as if he had been greatly frightened. He hid beside Grandmother Jia and said, "I really don't know. He never mentioned it."

Jia Lian was so angry that he laughed.

Grandmother Jia couldn't help but frown, but she knew that now was not the time to hold Jia Baoyu responsible. Her heart was beating very fast, and she asked, "Have you told Qi Guan about this?"

If Jia Lian had already told Qi Guan, and Qi Guan told Prince Zhongshun about it, then their Rongguo Mansion would be in trouble.

"Don't worry, old lady, I haven't told you yet." Jia Lian looked at Jia Baoyu, who was pretending to be dead, with a sneer, "Baoyu is grown up now, you should improve yourself, don't always do such things, and make your family worry about you."

Grandmother Jia subconsciously wanted to protect Jia Baoyu, but suddenly realized that Jia Baoyu almost brought disaster to the entire Jia family, so she endured the pain and let Jia Lian scold her.

Jia Baoyu sought protection from his grandmother but failed, so he could only hang his head like a quail and listen to her scolding.

Jia Lian is the eldest brother and has the right to discipline his younger brothers and sisters. Since Grandmother Jia does not speak for Jia Baoyu, he can only accept the scolding.

Mrs. Wang's voice suddenly rang out, "Lian'er is so arrogant now. Even if Baoyu did something wrong, you, as his brother, should have said it in a nice way. How can you be so harsh in your words?"

After Mrs. Wang came in, she stood in front of Jia Baoyu and retorted, "Even the queen would never treat Baoyu like this."
