The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 114 Everyone has their own plans
"Is father staying at the mansion at this late hour?"

After leaving the alley of Tianxiang Tower, Jia Zhen said cautiously.

"I can't stay here anymore. There's something else going on!" Jia Jing said in a deep voice, "Asking Yun Yi to beg for mercy is the worst plan. We have to keep it a secret as much as possible. Now that we have left a secret at home, we can't let anything else happen outside."

"Father said..."

"Well! Originally I planned to take care of the family first and wait until the storm died down before taking action. But now I need to urge them to act as soon as possible, so as to avoid any more trouble."

Jia Zhen bowed and said, "Father is right!"

Jia Jing stopped, looked at him, and said thoughtfully: "Since she and Rong'er have not yet consummated their marriage, I don't think it is necessary for her to be my Ning Mansion's granddaughter-in-law. After a while, you ask Rong'er to write a letter of divorce..."

Having said this, he paused for a moment, looked at Jia Zhen, whose face showed a hint of joy, and said, "Let Yun Yi take her as a concubine."

"Why?" Jia Zhen exclaimed hurriedly, "If father is afraid that if he sends her out she will start talking nonsense, then son..."

"Asshole!" Jia Jing shouted angrily, "Lust can blind your mind, put away your foolish thoughts! People's hearts are like water, he has agreed to help now, but there may be changes in the future. Only by taking her as a concubine can we guarantee that he will not change his mind in the future!"

"why?"

"Why? You still have the nerve to ask!" Jia Jing shouted angrily, "Who told you to tell him? Now he is grateful to us and promised to help us, but today he also found out about the secret account between our family and the Ministry of Industry. If he thinks about your uncle's death, will he still be so easy to talk to?"

"But what does this have to do with Qin being his concubine?"

"When he takes a concubine, we will give him some silver and say it is the dowry brought by Qin. We have not touched a cent. Once things go wrong, we will insist that we know nothing about Qin Ye. Maybe he transferred the stolen money through the adopted daughter, and then traced the dowry. Anyway, the Qin family can't confiscate much silver. At that time, each of us will stick to our own story and no one will be able to explain it clearly."

"But my cousin may not be willing to take her as a concubine!"

"I think you've really lost your mind! If you didn't have any thoughts at all, why would you rush to the rescue in the middle of the night without even putting on your clothes?"

Seeing Jia Zhen's face changing constantly, Jia Jing warned: "Let's not talk about it. Now we are still counting on him to cover the bottom line. Even if this doesn't happen, he must not get into trouble in our house. Otherwise, if the emperor's dream of ascending to heaven is ruined, it will not be as simple as going back to the past!"

When he said this, Jia Zhen's neck shrank, a trace of fear flashed across his face, and he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, father, I can handle it!"

"For now, we still count on him to cover for us. We can only do our best to appease him and wait until Prince Ning takes the throne to be safe!"

Jia Jing sighed and continued, "Father knows what you are thinking, but you have to put the overall situation first. Besides, it is better for you cousins ​​to give concubines to each other than to have an affair."

"Hey! Hey!" Jia Zhen's eyes lit up, "Father is right. I already know what's going on. I won't do anything rash or sacrifice my life for a woman!"

"As long as you know!"

Jia Jing nodded and said, "I left them alone on purpose to create an opportunity. Qin was at a time of hesitation and helplessness. Her summer clothes were thin, and she was burning with anger..."

At this point, he saw Jia Zhen's eyebrows twitching, with a look of unwillingness and eagerness on his face, and hurriedly said, "It's not convenient for you to go now. Ask Rong'er to go over and tell him to say that Qin was frightened. We will send him to comfort her. Do remind him not to make a public announcement if he is caught in the act. Then use the excuse of not consummating the marriage and uncleanness to divorce Qin and force him to take her as a concubine. Don't rush to do it. Wait until the rumors die down before letting her marry."

Jia Zhen's face froze, and he said somewhat disappointedly, "Yes! Son, I know. I'll go call Rong'er right away!"

Jia Jing looked at him, seemed a little worried, and sighed: "Forget it! I'll go with you to find Rong'er!"

"Uh……"

Jia Zhen had no way of expressing his pain.

He thought that Zhang Yunyi might have just warmed up by now, but he did not dare to report the truth, so he had to bite the bullet and follow Jia Jing to Jia Rong's courtyard.

...Let’s not talk about Jia Jing and Jia Zhen going to find Jia Rong for now.

But when Zhang Yun逸 came down from Tianxiang Tower, he caught a glimpse of Baozhu and the other person standing guard at the window and the door, and couldn't help but be a little stunned.

He came in such a hurry that he did not notice the two maids. As he did not see them go upstairs, he thought they were still waiting for news in the Dengxian Pavilion.

But when he saw them like this, he immediately realized that they were keeping watch for him.

Seeing him go downstairs, Baozhu didn't think there was anything wrong.

Ruizhu, however, looked puzzled and blurted out, "Uncle...why so fast?"

After saying this, Fang reacted and his cheeks turned red with embarrassment.

"Do you think that I am the one who took advantage of someone's misfortune?" Zhang Yunyi said righteously, "Keqing has been frightened, so you should all go and accompany her. If Jia Zhen is unwilling to give up and returns, there is no need to go and send a message. Just make a noise to avoid delays."

Since she had been keeping watch for him, there was no need to hide it, so he openly called Qin Keqing by her nickname.

"Yes! I spoke out of turn!" Ruizhu was focused on her previous mistake, her face full of shame, and she quickly admitted her mistake.

Baozhu, who was standing aside, keenly noticed the change in his address.

"Master, rest assured. I will take good care of grandma for you!"

Zhang Yunyi walked up to the two of them, put his arm around one of them, held them in his arms, and said softly, "You are not only guarding Keqing for me, you are also my people, you have to take care of yourselves, otherwise, I will be heartbroken!"

"Master!~"

The two of them had never experienced this before, and they immediately surrendered and leaned softly in his arms.

Ruizhu was better off, after all, she had been through it before. Baozhu was held in his arms, her legs were weak, her body was shaking, and her buds, which were about to bloom, were trembling non-stop.

Zhang Yunyi rubbed her slender waist for a while, then leaned over to her ear and said, "When I have sorted out my affairs, I will let Ruizhu take your place in the bed!"

What he meant by straightening out was actually putting the master first and the servant second.

However, there is still a crucial step to take, so there is no need to explain it to the two maids now.

"Hmm!~" Baozhu hummed like a mosquito, her cheeks flushed with shame, and her head was almost buried in the gap.

Baozhu had nothing else in her mind, but Ruizhu was still able to stay awake and asked hurriedly, "Master! Is there something else wrong? What happened today? The young lady didn't... Why did they force her to death?"

Although they heard some words downstairs, since it involved corruption and abuse of power, Jia Jing and Jia Zhen deliberately lowered their voices, so they were not able to hear everything.

Zhang Yunyi patted their slender waists, let go of their hands, and said, "Don't ask any more questions. Knowing more will not do you any good. It's no big deal with me here. Go and accompany Keqing! She's been frightened."

"Hey!" Ruizhu quickly agreed after hearing that.

After Zhang Yunyi left, she closed the doors and windows and was about to walk towards the stairs, but she found Baozhu still lying there in a daze. She hurriedly turned around and helped her upstairs.
