Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai looked at each other and had to step forward to comfort her.

Mrs. Wang gradually calmed down as the two men comforted her. "I'm sorry for making a fool of myself. I really shouldn't have lost my composure at this moment."

Aunt Xue said, "Sister, what are you saying? We are one family. If you have troubles, where else can you go if not here to talk? Stop talking like that. There is no room for estrangement."

Mrs. Wang sighed, her face full of worry and sorrow, "You don't know the sorrow and difficulties in my heart. I am already fifty years old, and I only have two sons and a daughter. Unfortunately, my poor Zhu'er left me cruelly. Now only the queen and Baoyu are left."

Aunt Xue thought to herself that she only had two, Pan'er and Baochai, which was one less than her.

Mrs. Wang patted Xue Baochai's plump, fair hands and continued to complain: "Although the Queen is now a noble concubine, those people envy me, but how can they feel the pain of separation from their loved ones? Now I envy my sister for having a good daughter like Baochai by her side."

Aunt Xue was a little puzzled. She couldn't figure out what the man was trying to say in so many circles. Just now she thought that her sister came to borrow money, but now it didn't seem like that.

Could it be that she had gone astray?

Aunt Xue was becoming more and more confused about her sister.

"The queen is about to return home to visit her family, but the garden has not been completed yet. I am really depressed and feel deeply ashamed of myself for the emperor and the queen." Mrs. Wang's face was full of worry, but Xue Baochai saw a frightening greed in her eyes.

Aunt Xue couldn't help but twitch her lips. She was really overthinking it just now. He came to borrow money but just didn't want to say it clearly.

Aunt Xue was able to support the entire Xue family after her husband passed away. She is not a simple person. Since someone asked her to speak first, she had to pretend to be confused to see who can outlast the other.

But she did feel sad. After all, Mrs. Wang was her biological sister. Even though she had done many wrong things, they were sisters in the same family and they were connected by blood. Why couldn't she just say what she wanted to say directly instead of beating around the bush like this?

Could it be that in her sister's heart, she is such a stingy, heartless person who doesn't care about family affection?

Aunt Xue began to rebel. No matter how many times Mrs. Wang hinted at her, she pretended not to understand. The two of them went back and forth, practicing Tai Chi like a real pro.

Finally, Mrs. Wang completely lost her patience and said directly: "The mansion is not the same as before. It costs a lot of money to move around with such a big family. Now we can't build this garden casually. After all the calculations, the money is not enough. If you have some spare money, you can borrow it to use later..."

Aunt Xue did not dare to look forward to what would happen in the future. She stood up and took out a few banknotes from the box and put them in Mrs. Wang's hand. "We are all family members. There is no need to talk about whether to lend it or not. Just take it and use it."

When Mrs. Wang saw that the total amount of the silver notes in her hand was only five thousand taels, she felt a little dissatisfied. But when she heard Aunt Xue say that she didn't have to pay it back, she felt that it seemed okay.

Aunt Xue knew from Mrs. Wang's expression that she thought it was too little, and felt a little disappointed for a moment, "After my master passed away, our family business has not been as good as before. You know that Pan'er only knows how to play... Now I can't afford much spare money."

Mrs. Wang put the banknote on the table and said, "I know that too. If I hadn't really been in trouble, I wouldn't have opened my mouth to you."

The two sighed to each other. Mrs. Wang had achieved her goal and didn't want to stay here any longer, so she made an excuse and left.

Aunt Xue said, "Just think of it as repaying your aunt's favor. Your brother's matter was resolved thanks to her. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened."

Xue Baochai said, "You have been thinking about this matter since we moved in. I don't know how much you have given to my aunt, openly or secretly. Now you are asking you for money to build a garden. I think it's time for us to move out."

"But how can we tell anyone if we have to move out suddenly?" Aunt Xue was a little worried.

Xue Baochai smiled, "Mom is confused. Now that the empress wants to visit her parents, isn't this a good excuse? Moreover, I have seen with cold eyes that although the old lady didn't say it explicitly, she also wants us to move out."

It is somewhat inconvenient for the Xue family to live in this mansion. What's more, they also have a house in the capital. Why should they stay here and be disliked?

Aunt Xue thought so too, so she found a chance to tell Lady Jia about it. Naturally, Lady Jia wanted to persuade him to stay. Aunt Xue was not a person without good eyesight, so she could see that it was just a polite remark, so she smiled and said some polite words as well, and the matter was settled.

When Jia Baoyu knew that Xue Baochai was going to move out, he naturally started to make a fuss again and said a lot of nonsense, but his resistance was ultimately useless and he could only watch the Xue family move out of the house.

"They all left me. Sister Lin left, Sister Bao left too, leaving me alone in this mansion to become a lonely ghost."

Jia Baoyu cried like a 200-pound child, but Zhao Yurou felt that the opportunity had come.

"Second Master, please don't be too sad. Although Miss Lin and Miss Bao are gone, I will always be with you." Zhao Yurou sat next to Jia Baoyu, her soft body leaning against him vaguely. "Worrying hurts the body. If Second Master gets hurt because of this, I don't know what will happen to others, but I will be the first to die of sadness."

Jia Baoyu had been abandoned one after another, and he was at his most vulnerable moment. Hearing this, he felt as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw. He looked at her with tearful eyes, eager to confirm something, "Really?"

Zhao Yurou nodded, "Since I entered the mansion, have you ever seen me care about others? My heart belongs to you, even if you want me to die right now, I won't complain at all."

"No." Jia Baoyu raised his hand to cover her mouth, "Don't say these words, I don't want you to die, I want you to live forever and accompany me forever."

"All I have to do is listen to you, Second Master." Zhao Yurou's eyes moved, and there seemed to be countless hooks in them, hanging Jia Baoyu's heart. As she spoke, her hot breath hit Jia Baoyu's palm, making him feel a little itchy, and his heart also felt a little itchy and hot.

The two people got closer and closer, one of them wanted to seduce, and the other had no self-control, so what happened next was a natural outcome.

Tonight it was Zhao Yurou's turn to take care of the family at night, and everyone else went to rest.

The atmosphere in the room was ambiguous and warm. In the darkness, one could vaguely see figures entangled on the bed, but only the moonlight knew all this.

From then on, Jia Baoyu treated Zhao Yurou differently than before. Sometimes when they were talking, their eyes met, and they were so attracted to each other that they looked like a newlywed couple.
