The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 119 Unmoved

After the court session was over in the evening, Zhang Yunyi returned to Ning Mansion as if nothing had happened.

Since the emperor told him not to alert the enemy and Dai Quan was under control, the news of his plea for mercy naturally would not spread.

As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw Youshi already waiting in the yard.

Zhang Yunyi smiled and said, "Didn't Xifu invite my sister-in-law to have dinner before she returned?"

"Oh my! How can I stay here any longer?" Yu Shi hurried forward and complained, "You don't know, everyone over there is targeting you. If I don't come back, my ears will get calluses."

She first recounted her experience of going to Xue's house.

"When they begged us for mercy, they didn't offer so many conditions. I'm confiscating the money today, so that people won't think we've taken advantage of them!"

"Well! Let's not talk about this for now. Just keep the money there. Did you know that my uncle came last night?"

Zhang Yunyi thought about it and decided to briefly recount what happened last night and the extermination of the Qin family.

He only concealed the fact that he entered the palace today, and changed the place where he learned the news of the Qin family's extermination from the palace to the government office. He even did not conceal the fact that Jia Rong visited him last night and stayed overnight in Tianxiang Tower.

Although such a serious matter as the extermination of the Qin family has not yet spread into the inner courtyard of the mansion, it has already spread to the government office. It is obviously unreasonable for him not to mention it at all.

However, one must always be on guard against others. After all, Youshi is the mistress of Ningguo Mansion, and when it comes to bringing down the Ning Mansion, the two of them have a clear conflict of interest.

Even though the emperor had made a promise, the gap between the Ning Mansion's mistress and the wife of a convicted official was not small.

Telling her about Jia Rong's visit and staying overnight at Tianxiang Tower was to let her know the seriousness of the situation and that she was the only one she could rely on.

Yu Shi was terrified when she heard this. She no longer cared about other people's gossip, or even about his flirting with Qin Keqing. Her legs were weak and trembling. She leaned on him unconsciously and said incoherently, "Qin... Qin family, could it be that the master and the others..."

"Sister-in-law, be careful with your words! I only told you this matter, so don't let it slip later."

Seeing her leaning on him, Zhang Yunyi didn't care that it was in public and reached out to hug her slender waist without hesitation.

Yu Shi was terrified, and only felt safe when she leaned on Zhang Yunyi, so she had no time to care about these details.

"Yes, yes, yes!" he echoed, and hurriedly covered his mouth.

Even Qin Keqing was going to be silenced, so how could Jia Jing and Jia Zhen care about her?
The two of them walked forward, leaning against each other like conjoined twins. The servants along the way saw this scene, their faces filled with horror, but they all tried to avoid them.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. No matter what the final outcome of this matter is, Yun Yi will definitely protect you from being implicated."

Zhang Yunyi consoled him, then paused and said, "But, Brother Zhen, I don't trust you. Do you know how much money they got from the Construction Department?"

"How would I know that? I haven't even heard of it!"

Zhang Yunyi comforted him, "That's enough! Don't panic. I heard in the government office today that Shuntian Prefecture has committed a robbery. As long as this incident has nothing to do with the prefecture, I will go to the emperor and ask for mercy. At most, I will ask him to return the stolen silver."

"How can there be such a coincidence in the world? They are trying to force my wife to death, and then the Qin family is in trouble?"

If even Youshi could think of it, the emperor could naturally think of it as well.

But now, I am worried that she will panic and say something without thinking.

"Sister-in-law, don't you trust me?" Zhang Yunyi said confidently, "Since I can even protect Qin, I will naturally not ignore sister-in-law. Now you just act like you know nothing."

"Of course I can trust you!"

Youshi was suddenly overwhelmed with mixed feelings, and she felt a little regretful. Although she had been in contact with Zhang Yunyi for a long time, she was the mistress of Ning Mansion after all, and she had to consider Jia Zhen's dignity. She was worried that she would get pregnant with Zhang Yunyi's child, so she had been secretly taking contraceptive medicine.

At this moment, I wish I could have a child.

While thinking about this, he happened to pass through the inner gate, so he quietly took Zhang Yunyi and walked towards his own yard.

Although it is a bit late to cram at this moment, it at least gives us a little more chance.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the gate, Zhang Yunyi stopped and said, "I'll send Yunyi here. Something happened at Qin's house, so I have to go to Tianxiang Tower."

You Shi couldn't help but feel disappointed, but she forced a smile and said, "Yes, yes! I need you to take care of my wife more."

She had been distracted by the shock of the incident, and now, seeing Zhang Yunyi about to leave, she remembered something else and hurriedly called him, "Today, the mistress said that the second master wanted to invite you to his house and asked me to come back to ask. Could it be about this matter?"

This is not impossible. Jia Zheng is the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Works, so he may have connections. Since Jia Jing has heard the news, he naturally would not hide it from him.

"Then just help me find an excuse to push it."

"Hey! Hey!" Youshi responded hurriedly, "This whole family is targeting you. You should really avoid them in the future. It's a good thing you didn't go today. Zhuge's daughter-in-law was hoping that you would meet Lan today so that she could tell her son's fortune!"

Li Wan?
Zhang Yunyi's heart moved, and that cold face appeared in his mind.

However, if it were before, he might have taken the opportunity to tease this cold and beautiful widow.

Now that the situation has changed, if the Rong Mansion is also involved, it may not be necessary to spend all that extra thought on it.

He couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He shouldn't have said in front of the emperor that his mother was from the Ning Mansion, but should have included the entire Jia family.

Yu Shi saw him pause slightly, thinking that he had seen prey and was excited, so she hurriedly said, "Although she is an orphan and a widow, she is really pitiful, but it's okay to do anything else, but revealing the secret can be a big deal, so be careful!"

Zhang Yunyi felt a little embarrassed as his secrets were exposed by her.

However, he always believed that as long as I was not embarrassed, others would be embarrassed. He turned around, hugged Youshi tightly, and put his palm on the bottom of the gourd and rubbed it.

He smiled and said, "She is the eldest sister-in-law of the West Mansion, not the eldest sister-in-law of the East Mansion. I am only worried about my sister-in-law, why should I worry about her?"

Yu Shi's bones and muscles were numb from his rubbing. She wanted to use her son to gain status as a mother, so she took the opportunity to take him to the yard.

However, Zhang Yunyi had just taken Qin Keqing yesterday, and the Qin family has now been wiped out, so he can only reject Youshi's kindness at this moment.

You Shi struggled in his arms for a long time, but not only did she fail to lead him astray, but she was exhausted physically and mentally, so she could only say angrily: "It's getting late, I'm afraid you have to put more effort into comforting your wife."

Zhang Yunyi finally gave up and said with a smile, "It has to be a first come first served. Isn't it better to comfort my sister-in-law first?"

After hearing this, Youshi felt much more relieved and nodded silently.

I wanted to say something, but considering the current situation in Ning Mansion, I didn't know where to start.

Zhang Yunyi knew that she must be feeling bad, so he comforted her before leaving: "If you are worried, you can move to Doufengxuan for a while. This way it will be more convenient for me to take care of you."

"Hey!" Youshi said hurriedly, "Then I will move there tomorrow."
