Jia Baoyu wanted to go over to take a look, but his mother held him tightly and refused to let go. "Don't go yet, Baoyu. We don't know what happened yet. What if there's danger?"

"It's alright, old man. I'll just take a look from a distance and come back." Jia Baoyu was not willing to listen to advice. He didn't take Jia's mother's advice to heart. "I'll really just take a look. There won't be any danger."

Grandmother Jia had no choice but to assign a few servants to follow him. "What a little ancestor, let me make it clear in advance, just take a look and come back, don't let others squeeze in."

"it is good."

There seemed to be something extraordinary among the crowd not far away. As Jia Baoyu approached, the roar clearly reached his ears.

"what?"

He couldn't suppress his curiosity and wanted to squeeze in to take a look, but was stopped by several servants who were accompanying him.

"Second Master, the old lady has ordered that you are not allowed to get close."

Jia Baoyu impatiently tried to break free from them, "You are in the way, I am just going to take a look, if you don't let go, you will be in trouble."

The servants had bitter faces and dared not let go. "We dare not disobey the old lady's orders. Please understand, Master, and don't make things difficult for us."

They refused to let go no matter what he said. Jia Baoyu glared at them for a while and could only stand at the outside helplessly. He stretched his neck to look inside, but he could only see a strange-looking person lying on the ground.

Yes, it is weird in shape.

The limbs were so twisted that it looked so strange. Jia Baoyu wondered if this man was performing a juggling act.

"I have never seen such a move before. I don't know where this person came from. He can do such a move. It's amazing."

Jia Baoyu looked at it for a moment, felt it was a bit boring, and turned around to go back.

He had only taken a few steps when he heard screams one after another behind him and the crowd suddenly scattered. He didn't know what was happening and turned his head to look over.

The man who had been crawling on the ground just now had stood up. When Jia Baoyu saw his eyes clearly, the hair on his body stood on end.

"What is this?!"

The servants guarding him were also frightened. They had never seen gray eyes before. "Second Master, Second Master, let's go quickly."

Jia Baoyu's legs had gone limp from fear, and he was dragged back to the mansion by the servants, who shouted in unison, "Close the door!"

The gatekeepers also saw the monster approaching and were horrified. They quickly closed the door tightly and could see each other's fear when they looked at each other.

Jia Mu and the others didn't know what was going on. Seeing Jia Baoyu looking frightened, they were anxious and asked anxiously, "What happened?"

The servants described in detail what they had just seen, and everyone began to feel uneasy.

Wang Xifeng was a bit more courageous. She thought for a moment and frowned, "Is someone deliberately playing tricks on me? Did you see clearly?"

The monster was very close to Jia Baoyu and his companions just now, so how could they not have seen it clearly? After being questioned, they were extremely anxious, "Second Madam, if we didn't see it clearly, we wouldn't dare to come back and imitate our masters. That monster was really scary, with gray eyes and arms and legs twisted like that. It's obvious that it's not a normal person."

However, Jia Mu and others had not seen it with their own eyes, and they didn't really know how terrifying the monster was, so they were somewhat skeptical of what they said.

But a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Although he didn't know how much truth there was in their words, seeing how scared Jia Baoyu was, he didn't dare to say such words as "go out and see".

Originally, Jia Baoyu was to be sent away today, but now that he was in this state and she had no idea what was going on outside, Grandmother Jia felt a little embarrassed.

The envoys from Qianxiang Kingdom are already waiting. If there is any delay, the Jia family cannot afford it.

Grandmother Jia felt a little regretful that she had agreed to let Jia Baoyu go to join in the fun. If she had known it would be like this, she would not have let him go even if it meant going to hell.

It's too late to say this now.

We have to think of a way.

Aunt Zhao didn't care about all that. She just pretended to be genuinely concerned about the Jia family and walked forward to start her performance.

"Madam, although Baoyu's condition is worrying, I think he is just frightened and nothing serious will happen. It would be bad if he delayed the time because of this."

"Although there is a monster outside this door, we can send him out through other doors."

"Although our family knows Baoyu's temper and knows that he is really frightened, the envoys don't know that."

"If they knew about this, they would think that our family was deliberately looking for an excuse to prevent Baoyu from leaving. If the emperor knew about this, wouldn't he be angry?"

In fact, Aunt Zhao also felt that Jia Baoyu was just pretending. Could there be a ghost in broad daylight?

What a monster or not, it might not be an excuse Jia Baoyu deliberately made up in order to leave.

In the past few years, Jia Baoyu was not at home, and Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan also valued Jia Baoyu more in front of Jia Zheng. Naturally, they did not want Jia Baoyu to stay, so they said serious things, for fear that Grandmother Jia would change her mind.

Aunt Zhao's thoughts were almost all written on her face, and Grandmother Jia saw through her little thoughts with just one glance.

But what Aunt Zhao said does make sense.

Grandmother Jia was too impatient to argue with her, so after thinking it over carefully, she decided to send Jia Baoyu out through the corner door.

There were no monsters at the corner gate. The servants carefully looked inside and breathed a sigh of relief.

After Jia Baoyu was sent away, Grandmother Jia was still worried about the monster outside the door, so she sent someone to investigate.

Just then Jia Lian came back. He smiled soothingly and said, "Don't worry, old lady. That monster has been dealt with."

Grandmother Jia was relieved and asked hurriedly, "Do you know where it came from?"

Jia Lian shook his head. "I don't know about that, but that monster didn't hurt anyone, it just frightened people, and was later taken away by the imperial guards."

Of course, Lin Chengyu also showed up. Jia Lian knew that Lady Jia was still feeling a little uncomfortable, so he kept it to himself.

"That's good." Grandmother Jia sighed, "You didn't know it because you weren't at home. Baoyu was so frightened today. His little face turned pale. It was really pitiful."

Jia Lian didn't think so, but he still said, "Baoyu is young, so it's true that he was frightened for a while, but he has seen a lot of the world in the past few years in Qianxiang Kingdom, so I think he will recover soon."

Grandmother Jia's face was still full of worry. "I hope so. He is alone outside, so it is inevitable that people will be worried."

Jia Lian said some more words of comfort and was about to leave when Grandmother Jia called him back, "Please have someone find out how the Third Princess and the Seventh Prince are doing now. The Queen passed away early, leaving these two children behind, and they are growing up under the care of Concubine Shu. How can anyone feel at ease?"
