The Heavens Begin with Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 43 No one knows, so it didn’t happen

Because this was a family dinner, it was not held in the living room, but in a small hall in the inner hall of the warm room.

Jia Zhen sat in the main seat, Jia Rong sat in the guest seat on one side, Zhan Twenty-four sat in the guest seat opposite Jia Rong on the other side, while Youshi and Qin Keqing stood on either side of their masters and had no seats.

Qin Keqing only had to pour wine and serve food to Jia Rong, so she stood relatively far to the outside. In addition to being responsible for her own master Jia Zhen, Youshi also had to pour wine for Zhan Twenty-four, so she stood between the two of them.

This meant that if Zhan Ershi took action under the table, no one at the table could see it except Youshi.

When Zhan Twenty-four touched Youshi's leg, her body trembled and some of the wine in the pot splashed out. Fortunately, Zhan Twenty-four was quick and caught the spilled wine into the cup with a flick of his wrist. Then he smiled at Youshi and continued to chat with Jia Zhen and his son.

Yu's heart was pounding so hard that it felt like it was about to jump out of her throat. She looked at the people at the table in panic.

But Zhan Ershisi was talking about some "interesting overseas stories" at the moment, and Jia Zhen and his son were fascinated by his talk. They didn't notice the change in her expression at all.

On the contrary, Qin Keqing, who was beside Jia Rong, was not interested in these things. She was only focused on pouring wine for her husband. When she noticed that her face had turned pale, she couldn't help but look over at her with a curious look in her eyes.

Youshi was fed up with being harassed by Zhan 24 and wanted to step back, glare at him a few times and warn him, but when she saw Qin Keqing's look, she hesitated.

She didn't know whether Zhan would continue to reach out and touch her. If she stepped back and her body was too far away from the table, the action would become conspicuous and she would be more easily exposed.

Normally, if there is a risk of being exposed, ordinary people will definitely restrain themselves and not dare to act recklessly, but who knows if this drunkard will be so bold as to do something shameless.

She had seen the bad things her master did when he was drunk, and how impatient he could be when he was driven by lust.

This affair of adultery was such a secretive matter, but it became known to everyone in the mansion.

This was not spread by just a few parties involved, but the master sometimes got in a good mood and didn't care about the servants around him, so his traces were often exposed.

If this Zhan guy is of the same kind as my master, then he might reach out again in a while.

By then, others might not notice it, but her daughter-in-law Qin Keqing, who always kept her eyes on her, would definitely notice it.

If we were to ask who in this room you least wanted to embarrass yourself in front of, it would undoubtedly be that little whore Qin Keqing!
What she hated the most was this bitch!
As Jia Zhen's roommate, how could Youshi not know about her master's dirty deeds?

But she was not a strong-willed person and her family background was humble. To be the mistress of the Ningguo Mansion was already a great honor for her ancestors. How could she dare to meddle in her own master's affairs?
But it would be impossible for her not to feel resentment about such a thing.

It’s just that the weak only dare to punch those who are even weaker.

Youshi did not dare to complain about her husband's affair, so she directed all her resentment on Qin Keqing.

It was all because of this unfaithful and vixen-like woman who had no sense of propriety or shame that she seduced her own master, causing him to neglect her.

He completely ignored the fact that Jia Zhen was actually a playboy who was easily bored with the old and easily attracted by new things, and was always flirting with other women. Even if Keqing was not there, he still had several concubines at home.

It seemed as if thinking this way could ease the resentment in her heart.

In the original book, after Qin Keqing died, she didn't even attend the funeral, and found an excuse of feeling unwell to avoid it.

The two of them are now only maintaining a superficial harmony in the mansion, but their relationship is actually quite bad in secret.

Youshi resented Qin Keqing, but how could Qin Keqing not resent Youshi? When she was being forced by her own beastly father-in-law, she had hinted several times and asked her mother-in-law for help, but Youshi just pretended to be deaf and dumb, pretending to be ignorant, and watched her fall into the clutches of the devil, unable to turn back.

As for her cowardly husband Jia Rong, she hated him even more, but as a woman, she had no choice but to hate herself for being blind.

Of course, Youshi was well aware of the daughter-in-law's attitude towards her, so when Qin Keqing cast her eyes over, her feet immediately froze as if they had taken root and she could not move back.

The reason why this bitch was respectful to her on weekdays was simply because she couldn't find any fault with her and couldn't do anything to her due to her status.

If this bitch discovered anything unusual, she would not hide it for her and would definitely scream on the spot.

She was already not favored by her own master. If this bitch continued to whisper in her ear, she might even lose her status as the mistress of the Ningguo Mansion.

Thinking of this, Youshi not only did not step back, but instead took another half step forward and used her wide sleeves to block everyone's sight.

Isn't it just being touched?

You won’t lose any meat!

Now that the banquet is almost over, we should pour the wine faster and send this shameless guy away quickly.

Anyway, the only relatively clean things in Ningguo Mansion are the two stone lions in front of the gate. Even if she gets a little dirty, it’s not worth it!
As long as no one knows about it, it didn’t happen!
Yu Shi made up her mind and kept pouring wine into the two people's glasses, one cup after another, pretending to be unaware of what was happening under the table.

This is a good deal for Zhan 24.

He was just drunk and touched it subconsciously, but he regretted it right after he did so.

He had thought it through. If Youshi made it public, he would deny it flatly and say that he had met her by accident, causing his sister-in-law to misunderstand him.

If Youshi backed off, that would be fine. He is a gentleman from Liangshan and would never force a woman.

But he was shocked by You's reaction. Instead of showing off, she didn't even step back. Instead, she took a step forward and blocked her view with her sleeves.

This sister-in-law... is so proactive!
However, I like it!

Sister-in-law, you can't blame me for making mistakes if you tempt me like this!

At that moment, Zhan Ershisi was chatting and laughing with Jia Zhen and his son at the table, while he reached under the table into her skirt, feeling the unique smoothness and warmth of his sister-in-law.

After all, Youshi is the mistress of Ningguo Mansion. Since she was promoted to the position of mistress, she has been living a life of luxury and has taken excellent care of her body, which looks very nice.

Youshi originally thought that letting this Mr. Zhan touch her legs would be enough, but she never expected that this Mr. Zhan was a person who was accustomed to taking advantage of every opportunity. Since he had seen through Youshi's strengths and weaknesses, he would never defend his territory.

Youshi only felt that the big hand was like an ant climbing a tree, rising straight up, pressing forward step by step, attacking cities one after another, and soon it had broken through several passes and was at the gates of the city.

She was so frightened that her face turned pale. She hurriedly made the excuse that the wine in the pot was all gone and walked away quickly. She slowed down her rapid heartbeat in the outer room, controlled her expression again, and then took a new pot of wine and returned to the table to "be punished".
