The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 10 Random thoughts

That night, the Ningguo Mansion was in chaos and everyone was busy until dawn.

Jia Zhen dressed neatly and came to the inner hall yawning, where he saw Youshi, Jia Rong and Qinshi already waiting there.

He stole a glance at his daughter-in-law and felt refreshed. He also liked Jia Rong a lot better. He said with a warm face, "My uncle's grave is still outside the city. My wife is just getting better. It will be a bumpy journey. You two should not go with us. I will tell the master later and let you stay at home to finish the work."

It has to be said that Jia Zhen put a lot of effort into this daughter-in-law. He knew that with Qin's personality, she would definitely refuse if he kept her alone, so he took Jia Rong along as well.

"Then my son will send the master and the mistress off first."

Jia Rong was used to being lazy and eager to be lazy, so he agreed immediately.

Men are the ones who make the decisions on matters outside. Since Jia Zhen and Jia Rong have both spoken, Qin has no reason to refute.

You saw it all and hated it in her heart.

Fortunately, there was a moment yesterday when she believed that it was Jia Jing's intention. When she saw Jia Rong's busy moving in the yard, she understood Jia Zhen's plan.

If this kind of thing happened to another family, even if it was not easy to expose the family's shame, at least they would have to be careful. But Jia Zhen did not treat me as a human being. Not only was he unscrupulous, he also plotted against me.

Last year, just because of those rumors, I was often secretly laughed at by the servants. If they knew that I helped Jia Zhen and transferred my wife's maid away, I would be even more ashamed.

After all, there is no one in her natal family and she is a second wife.

But it was okay for her to endure it, but she really couldn't imagine how Jia Rong could endure it. After all, he was the legitimate grandson of the Ningguo Mansion. Even if Jia Zhen was the father, wasn't there Jia Jing above him?
What benefits did Jia Zhen promise him that made him disregard his dignity and help to bring them together?

She couldn't help but turn her head and look at Jia Rong with disgust. Unexpectedly, she saw him looking behind her with a sly look in his eyes.

Youshi was immediately ashamed and angry, secretly cursing this immoral coward. She knew that Jia Zhen intended to take her daughter-in-law for herself, but she dared not say a word and even helped him. Now he even dared to set his sights on her.

These father and son are birds of a feather. When Jia Zhen is not at home, Jia Rong often finds excuses to get close to the concubines. She is not surprised at all that he has such inhumane thoughts.

However, once Jia Zhen was present, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. Today, in front of his father, I don’t know where he got the courage from.
Thinking of this, she was suddenly stunned... A bad thought arose, and she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

It's not her fault that she thought too much. Given Jia Zhen's obsession with Qin, it might be possible for him to shut Jia Rong's mouth.

She did guess a few points, but she guessed the wrong person.

However, it is precisely because of Jia Zhen's promise yesterday that Jia Rong covets her today.

Human beings are never satisfied, and Jia Rong is the type of person who always wants more. Yesterday, he felt that he had gotten an advantage at first, but after returning home, he felt a little regretful.

Before I even opened my mouth, the master took the initiative to offer compensation. If I bargained, I might get more.

Although my stepmother is not as pretty as Qin, she has a natural charm and maturity. With her status, she is also quite interesting.

He secretly calculated that Youshi was only a second wife and was not very favored, while Qinshi was the legal wife. Even if they really switched sides, he would be the one to suffer.

Unfortunately, he didn't think of it at the time, and he didn't have the courage to bargain with Jia Zhen again.

However, this did not prevent him from making a wishful calculation. If the master got lucky with Qin and was happy, he might reward him again; or if he hit a wall and asked him for help, he could not miss the opportunity in vain.

Jia Zhen had no idea that his always obedient son would actually set his sights on him. He came to the front yard and praised him before getting into the carriage: "I will tell your grandfather about your filial piety. I will not delay what I promised you. When your grandfather returns to Xuanzhen Temple, I will ask her to serve you and then go to the accounting office to withdraw 500 taels of silver."

Qin did not come with them, and Jia Zhen did not try to hide it too much in front of Youshi.

"Hey! Hey! Thank you for the reward, Master." Jia Rong thought to himself. Sure enough, this benefit came again. He agreed without hesitation. These words undoubtedly confirmed Youshi's guess. Looking at this pair of father and son who were in collusion with each other, her heart sank to the bottom.

She didn't want to be a plaything of this father and son, so after much thought, she could only place her hopes on Jia Jing.

However, when those shameful activities have not been exposed, people will still be cautious. But once the window paper is broken, I am afraid they will really throw the jar into the air.

After all, Jia Zhen inherited the title and was the head of the family. His broken arm was hidden in his sleeve. Even if Jia Jing punished him, it would only be temporary. Once Jia Zhen recovered, he would probably take revenge on him a hundred or a thousand times.

He could not take this risk himself, so he could only adopt a roundabout tactic.

She secretly made up her mind to get Jiao Da back. After the beating he gave her yesterday, he would definitely go against Jia Zhen.

Poor Youshi, as the mistress of Ningguo Mansion, encountered such a thing, but she pinned her hopes on an old servant to help. It can be seen that the Ningguo Mansion is rotten to the core.

It’s not that she hadn’t thought about asking Zhang Yunyi for help, but the first time they met, he dared to tease her in various ways, which showed that he was not a good person.

Not only may he not be willing to step forward, but he may also want to get a piece of the pie. By then, it will be like keeping a wolf out of the front door and letting a tiger in through the back door.

Jia Zhen never thought that Youshi, who had always been obedient, would dare to ruin his good deeds.

He got on the bus, sat in the middle seat, pulled out a blanket and covered himself with it, then told Youshi, "Wake me up when we get to the destination."

As he spoke, he tilted his head, and soon he began to snore and fell into a deep sleep.

I was busy last night and even went out of town. It was already late at night when I came back.

But he was quite excited that he used the force of his opponent to remove the two obstacles between him and his daughter-in-law.

Thinking of the promise she had made to Jia Rong, she felt a little reluctant. She took advantage of the excitement to carefully compare the personalities of Pei Feng and Xie Yuan in order to make a choice.

Speechless all the way.

The carriage arrived at Zhang's house, and the funeral procession was about to set off.

Seeing the sleepy Jia Zhen, Zhang Yun逸 secretly felt ashamed. If someone didn't know, they would think that Jia Zhen was the filial son who kept watch at night.

"Thank you for your hard work, cousin and sister-in-law!"

Jia Zhen took Youshi and Jia Jing to pay their respects, then said, "Don't be polite, cousin. We are all family. When I went back yesterday and told your nephew about it, he also wanted to show his filial piety, so he took the initiative to give up his yard. Unfortunately, he had too many things and some finishing work, so he couldn't come."

He knew that asking Jia Rong to give up the yard was a bit too much. Only in front of Zhang Yun逸 would Jia Jing not object, so he said it hurriedly.

Zhang Yunyi couldn't help but sigh that this family was really willing to spend money. He would not feel any guilt about occupying Jia Rong's yard, so he naturally accepted it with pleasure.

"Okay! Don't waste time."

Jia Jing frowned slightly. Although he felt that he had gone too far, he thought it was well-intentioned. He winked at Jia Zhen, who quickly gave way.

Zhang Yunyi was the first to go to the funeral procession. Jia Zhen also took the opportunity to make a gesture to Jia Jing to make sure everything was done. He whispered, "Everything has been done. When father returns home, just mention it to him. I have selected two maids for him, and the rest will be left to his son."

Seeing Jia Jing nodding at him approvingly, Jia Zhen finally felt relieved.
