The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 137: Hearing about the Wedding
Wang Xifeng arrived with a large group of people. As soon as she got off the carriage, she saw Jia Zhen pulling Jia She out of the west corner gate.

Mrs. Xing, who was standing by, stamped her feet anxiously. Seeing the two of them leave the house, she seemed worried and followed them out in a hurry without caring about her manners.

Looking at the three people leaving, Wang Xifeng's face changed from gloomy to bright. After a few breaths, she looked at Zhang Yunyi in the yard with suspicion.

Tanchun, who was standing by, asked first: "What...what happened?"

Zhang Yunyi shrugged and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I was just in a good mood at the moment, and I want to go to the old lady to ask for advice."

You can't just brag and say that both families are eager to marry their daughters to you, right?

However, what he said not only failed to calm everyone down, but made them even more worried.

Especially Wang Xifeng, her pair of phoenix eyes stared at Zhang Yunyi, trying to find some clues from his face.

She had originally suspected that Jia She had deliberately instigated the incident, and now that she had to go before Lady Jia, she had to worry about being exposed for colluding with outsiders and enriching herself.

Li Wan, who was holding Jia Lan's hand, was in a dilemma. She originally wanted to take the opportunity to let Zhang Yun逸 see her son.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Jia She and Jia Zhen having a falling out.

Although Zhang Yunyi did not show any unhappiness, it was not certain whether he would give Xifu this face.

Just when he was in trouble, Youshi from the backyard came rushing over after hearing the news.

"I was late. I was just accompanying the second girl in the backyard and didn't come to greet her."

"Second sister is here too?" Tanchun showed a hint of suspicion.

Li Wan, as if she had found a savior, quickly turned her gaze to Youshi.

You Shi didn't want to cause trouble for Zhang Yunyi, so she deliberately didn't look at her and called everyone, "The tea is ready, come with me to the backyard to rest."

Wang Xifeng was suddenly thoughtful when she heard this, and she agreed with a smile: "That's great! I've been busy all morning and haven't even had a sip of tea yet!"

Seeing that everyone was following Youshi towards the second gate, but Zhang Yunyi showed no intention of following them, Li Wan could no longer hold back.

He quietly nudged Jia Lan, who immediately stepped forward, bowed like a little adult, and said, "Lan'er greets Uncle Yi!"

Zhang Yunyi quickly withdrew his gaze. Ping'er's dress today brightened his eyes, and he took advantage of the chaos to exchange glances with her.

He did not prepare any gifts for the meeting, so he could only touch Jia Lan's head and perfunctorily said, "Not bad! I have heard that this child is sensible, and today I see that he is indeed extraordinary!"

Li Wan took his polite words as a guideline. Her heart surged. She stepped forward to express her gratitude, breaking away from her usual avoidance. "Thank you, Brother Yi, for your kind words!"

As she spoke, she pressed Jia Lan's head and nodded frequently at Zhang Yunyi like a chicken eating rice.

Due to the excitement, the blood rushed up, and a strange blush appeared on her cold and pretty face.

Others have always known that Li Wan only has this son in her heart, so they didn't think anything of her reaction.

Yu, who was leading the way in front, did not hear Zhang Yunyi's rebuttal, and could not help but look back with a curious look.

She had reminded him of this long ago, and Zhang Yunyi had vowed at that time that he would only care about the eldest sister-in-law of the East Mansion and not the eldest sister-in-law of the West Mansion.

She didn't think deeply about the double meaning in these words at first. Now she thinks that if she really didn't have such thoughts, she shouldn't make such a joke about Li Wan...

She was deeply touched by Zhang Yunyi's preference for her sister-in-law. Since she was not a decent person to begin with, she did not dare to ruin Zhang Yunyi's plans, let alone reveal any sign of it. She just suppressed her thoughts and called everyone to the side hall.

"Second sister, what are you doing..." Tanchun rushed into the side hall first. She and Xichun had always lived with Yingchun, and immediately noticed something different about Yingchun.

It would have been better if she hadn't asked, but when she did, Yingchun immediately became so embarrassed that she couldn't control herself.

Just now, Mrs. Xing wanted to take her to the front yard, but fortunately Siqi stopped her in time on the grounds that it was inconvenient for her to do so in person.

Just now, taking advantage of the opportunity when Youshi was welcoming someone, she had already learned the general situation from Siqi.

It would be fine if this marriage could go through, but now something unexpected has happened and Tanchun has revealed her attire. How can she live with dignity?

Wang Xifeng, who followed the crowd in, saw Yingchun standing up with a blushing face and lowered head. She glanced at her bulging body and a hint of understanding flashed across her face.

Let go of your worries and start chatting and laughing with everyone.

……

Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall.

After hearing Jia Zhen's report, Jia's mother, who was sitting on the Luohan bed, was shaking with anger.

Pointing at Jia She and Mrs. Xing who were standing below, he angrily shouted, "I have repeatedly told them to put away their thoughts. You think I am old and you are turning a deaf ear to my words, right?"

Half of her anger was directed at Jia She and his wife, and the other half was directed at Jia Zhen.

In big families, there are bound to be intrigues, but the point is to fight without breaking up. How could one be like him and confront each other openly? If this gets out and outsiders know that the two girls from the Ning and Rong mansions are fighting for a husband, will the Jia family still have face?

What's more, Jia Zhen, a junior, dragged the master of Rong Mansion to her and questioned him face to face. No matter from which aspect, she had reason to be angry.

However, she was in the wrong after all, and she couldn't get angry with Jia Zhen, so she could only vent her anger on Jia She and his wife.

"Mother, you can't blame us for this. Who knew you had this agreement with them?"

Grandmother Jia didn't want to delve into it too much, so she waved her hand and said, "Don't go and embarrass yourself today. I'll take care of Zhen'er's matter. The mansion is busy now, so you can go back and greet the guests first."

Jia Zhen originally suspected that Jia She had made the decision on his own, and he dragged him in front of Lady Jia just to be on the safe side and to see Lady Jia's attitude.

Seeing that she had no intention of regretting, he decided to keep the matter quiet and bowed to take his leave.

Baoyu, who was sitting next to Grandmother Jia, suddenly said, "Grandma, my grandson also wants to go to the East Palace to play with Brother Zhen."

Because the Ning Mansion was busy with some business, the clan school was closed for a day, so Jia Baoyu naturally had some free time.

However, Grandmother Jia and Mrs. Wang did not know what had happened in the Ning Mansion. They were worried that Qin Keqing would be busy and would be seen by Jia Baoyu, which would remind him of the dead Qin Zhong and cause him to have hysterics again, so they kept him by their side.

Originally, he had not thought of going to Ning Mansion to join in the fun, but just now when he was with Lady Jia, he heard the general idea of ​​what happened.

He had only heard of Zhang Yunyi but had never seen him, so he was curious about what kind of person he was that the two families were so eager to marry him and to promise him their second and fourth sisters.

I couldn't help but secretly think that if I could have the demeanor of Qin Zhong, it would be a pity to miss the opportunity to get close to him...

As an elder, it is only natural for Lady Jia not to go to celebrate Jia Jing's birthday. However, Jia She caused such trouble and Jia Zheng and his wife did not go. It happened that the Ning Mansion encountered an accident. Jia Baoyu spoke up at this moment. If they forcibly stopped him from going, it would make the Rong Mansion seem too snobbish, so they just let him go.

He only reminded her: "Remember to come back early and don't cause trouble for your brother Zhen!"
