Chapter 349: Jia Baoyu Makes Trouble at Prince Beijing's Mansion
Chapter 349: Jia Baoyu Makes Trouble at Prince Beijing's Mansion
Baoyu kept banging on the tightly closed door with his hands.
However, no matter how hard he tried, there was still silence inside the door, as if everyone inside had fallen asleep and was deaf to the shouts outside.
Baoyu's anxiety and anger grew stronger and stronger, and his body became heavier. Finally, like a deflated ball, he squatted weakly at the door.
At this time, Baoyu was full of worry about Lin Daiyu and confusion and resentment about Prince Beijing's actions.
Just when he, Zijuan and Xueyan were at a loss, a slight sound of footsteps suddenly came from the house.
Baoyu stood up suddenly, clenched his fists, and without hesitation continued to knock on the study door, shouting at the top of his voice:
"Prince Beijing, please come out here!
Today I must ask you face to face, what is your reason for expelling my sister Lin from the palace?"
Following Baoyu's shout, the footsteps that had just sounded in the house stopped abruptly, and the surroundings fell into dead silence again.
Finally, under the nervous gaze of everyone, the door that had been closed for a long time slowly opened a crack, and then with a slight "creak" sound, it was completely opened.
Prince Beijing appeared at the door in a disheveled state. His hair was as messy as a bird's nest, his face was covered with stubble, and his eyes were bloodshot.
The whole person looked extremely haggard and decadent, as if he had aged a lot overnight.
When Baoyu saw this, the anger in his heart instantly burst out. He rushed forward and stretched out his hands to grab Prince Beijing's collar tightly.
He roared like a madman:
"Good for you, Prince Beijing!
I didn't expect you to be alive and well!
"Why did you have the heart to drive my sister out of the palace? What did she do wrong?"
Faced with Baoyu's fierce questioning and actions, Prince Beijing seemed to have lost his soul and stood there blankly.
He let Baoyu strangle his neck tightly, neither resisting nor saying a word to explain.
Prince Beijing almost fainted because he hadn't eaten.
Zijuan and Xueyan immediately surrounded him, took a closer look at Prince Beijing, and suddenly shouted:
"Yes, that's him!
That day you tricked us into going to Suzhou City to buy clothes for the girl, and you snatched her away!"
Xiao Luzi happened to be walking by and was stunned when he saw this scene. He half-knelt on the ground, waved his hands and said to Baoyu:
"Brother Bao, no, absolutely not!"
Then she was about to grab Baoyu's hand and try to save the prince. But Baoyu was so angry when he thought of Daiyu being driven away with a big belly that he was not willing to let the prince go easily.
Prince Beijing was already disheartened and let Baoyu drag him without arguing for himself.
Suddenly, the eldest wife passed by here. She just wanted to see how the prince would deal with the adulterer.
Who knew that when she saw this scene, she was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out.
The eldest wife came over hurriedly and said haltingly:
"Master Bao... Master Bao, you absolutely cannot do this! Put the prince down immediately!"
Baoyu suddenly shouted:
"If he doesn't give me an explanation today, don't even think about getting out alive!
Even if I burn down Prince Beijing's Mansion, I still won't feel relieved!"
The eldest lady immediately gave Cailian a look, and soon, Cailian threw the letter brought by Lanxin to Baoyu.
While Baoyu was taking the letter, Xiaoluzi grabbed the prince and rescued him from Baoyu.
The eldest wife quickly winked at Cailian, asking her to quickly find a few guards.
Baoyu lowered his head to pick up the letter. As he read it, an expression of disbelief gradually appeared on his face.
Only then did he realize that someone had framed him for having an affair with Lin Daiyu!
No wonder Lin Daiyu was kicked out!
But there is obviously something wrong with this letter. Although the writer tried his best to imitate his own handwriting, any discerning person can see at a glance that how could Baoyu and Lin Daiyu sign their names as "Master Bao"!
Baoyu picked up the letter, threw it in the prince's face, and shouted, "Is this your reason for kicking Sister Lin out?
I suspect she had an affair with me, but the child is mine?
Are you stupid? If I had an affair with her, how could I sign it as Master Bao?
The prince then slowly widened his eyes and looked at the first wife. Did she mean to drive the pregnant Daiyu out? Why didn't she ask for his opinion?
The eldest wife evasively said, "Your Majesty, you were furious at the time and told me to handle the matter myself!
I was afraid of being blamed by the clan officials, so I made a big deal out of a small matter and kicked her out!"
Baoyu then realized that his guess was correct. It was this woman who drove his sister Lin Daiyu out!
He immediately acted like a mad beast, and was about to capture the first wife to avenge Daiyu. However, many guards came and stopped them.
Baoyu burst into laughter. He stared at the prince quietly, and time seemed to have stopped.
After a long while, Baoyu finally shouted:
"You robber, you stole the person I love most!
I ate at the same table with her and we have been close friends for so many years!
But I tell you, Prince Beijing, Sister Lin and I will never do anything out of line!"
Prince Beijing immediately waved his hand and asked Xiao Luzi to take the guards away. Xiao Luzi was still hesitating when the prince angrily said:
"Take him away, what are you standing there for?"
Everyone was frightened by the roar and took a few steps back. Only Baoyu, the boy who grew up surrounded by sisters, now looked like a man of steel!
Xiao Luzi had no choice but to leave with the guards. Before leaving, he whispered in Baoyu's ear:
"Master Bao, she is still pregnant!
Instead of wasting time here, why not go out and look for it!"
Baoyu suddenly came to his senses. Instead of making a fuss here, he might as well go and find Lin Daiyu!
He suddenly raised his hands and slapped his head hard, again and again, feeling regretful and anxious!
At this moment, white snowflakes began to float in the originally clear sky.
At first there were only a few flakes here and there, but in the blink of an eye it became heavy snow, and the whole world was covered in silver.
Seeing this scene, Zijuan and Xueyan could no longer hold back their tears.
Especially when I think of Daiyu, a pregnant and penniless woman, wandering alone in such cold weather.
Not knowing what kind of person they would meet, the two of them were heartbroken and cried bitterly.
"It's so cold..."
Zijuan choked and said, her voice trembling,
"She's pregnant and doesn't even have any money. Where can she go?
What if something unexpected happens? What should I do?"
As she spoke, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, trying hard not to cry out loud, but the tears still kept rolling down.
Xueyan also began to sob: "Miss Lin, where are you... Can you hear us calling?"
While crying, she looked anxiously at the snow falling outside the door, praying silently in her heart that the woman would be safe.
Baoyu immediately pointed at the prince's nose and cursed:
"I'm telling you, Prince Beijing, if the baby in Sister Lin's belly is really mine, I will take her away on your wedding day!
You are the biggest fool in the world!
I was blind to trust Lin Daiyu in marriage to you!"
After Baoyu finished speaking, he took Zijuan and quickly left the palace. It was such a cold day and it was snowing. She was pregnant, so they had to find her as soon as possible!
The prince stared at the eldest wife quietly and asked coldly:
"Bijun, why are you so cruel to drive her out?
Even if you stay for a few days, I have my own way with the Zongwang Mansion!"
