Red Mansion: Holding Space and Marrying Like the Sea

Because Jia Lian learned that Fenzhu had drunk the sterilization drug, he became more unrestrained in his intimacy with Fenzhu. As time passed, the relationship between Jia Lian and Fenzhu became closer. However, this intimacy did not bring any substantial changes. Fenzhu remained just a maid, while Jia Lian was the second master of the Jia family.

One day, after making love with Jia Lian, Fenzhu asked tearfully, "Second Master, why haven't you asked the old lady to take me as your concubine? You have been deceiving me, right?" As she spoke, crystal tears fell on the hem of her skirt like pearls from a broken string.

Jia Lian looked at the crying woman in front of him and felt very irritated. He said impatiently: "Stop crying! You are making me upset!" But Fanzhu did not stop crying. Instead, she cried even harder. Jia Lian sighed helplessly and said: "Okay, stop crying. I am trying to find a solution."

Fenzhu sobbed and asked, "Have you thought of a solution?" Jia Lian frowned, thought for a moment and replied, "Well... we need to wait for a suitable time." Fenzhu asked in confusion, "What is the suitable time?" Jia Lian explained, "When the old lady is in a good mood, I will find an opportunity to mention this to her. But before that, you have to continue to serve me well, understand?" Fenzhu nodded in agreement.

However, Jia Lian knew that if he didn't want to keep Fenzhu and use her to plot against Jia Zheng, he wouldn't want to bother with her at all. He just wanted to get rid of this trouble as soon as possible and regain his freedom. So, he patiently coaxed her gently, "Baby, it's not that I don't want to ask the old lady to give you to me. You know, although I am the eldest son and the heir to the Duke's Mansion, my father is not favored by the old lady, and even I can't compare to the status of my cousin from the second house in the mansion."

After hearing Jia Lian's words, Fenzhu felt a little disappointed, but she still believed him. She wiped her tears and said softly, "Okay, Second Master, I believe you will find a way. As long as you are truly good to me, I am willing to stay by your side forever." Jia Lian nodded, looking at Fenzhu with deep affection in his eyes. Then he reached out and gently stroked her hair, gently comforting her, "Don't worry, my dear, I will never let you down."

After saying this, Jia Lian suddenly revealed an annoyed expression. He clenched his fists tightly and smashed them against the wall. At the same time, he said self-reproachfully, "I'm really useless. I can't even keep the woman I love. I'm simply a waste!"

Seeing Jia Lian torturing himself like this, Fenzhu couldn't help but feel distressed. She quickly stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and said, "Second Master, please don't do this. Stop it now. It makes me feel bad."

Jia Lian pretended to be helpless and continued, "Fenzhu, it's all my fault that I have no ability. I have made you suffer in this deep mansion and can only accompany me as a maid."

When Fenzhu heard Jia Lian's words, her heart warmed, and she said softly, "As long as you have me in your heart, I feel that everything is worth it, and I am happy with it."

After hearing this, Jia Lian was so moved that his eyes turned red. He continued, "Fenzhu, I hope you can stand by my side openly and honestly, and no longer suffer any grievances. If only the maids and servants in the mansion could see that dishonest Jia Zheng pestering you, and let them talk about you behind your back. You know how gossipy those people in our mansion are. Then I will ask the old lady to marry you, and she will definitely agree under pressure."
