The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 165: Husband and wife fight
Jia Lian left the east wing and went out the door. After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and went back to Rongguo Mansion.

He did not go directly through the second gate, but like a thief, he went through the side door on the west side of the east wing, bypassed the "Ti Ren Mu De" courtyard, and came to the northeast corner of the Xue family's courtyard through the corridor on the east side of Meng Po Zhai.

He looked around the whole time, very cautiously, as if he was afraid of being seen.

Only after he entered the Xue family did he breathe a sigh of relief and followed the servants to Xue Pan's residence.

"Wenlong! Wenlong! Let's have some strong medicine to liven up the mood."

After waking up Xue Pan who had just fallen asleep, he couldn't wait to explain his purpose.

Last night, on the way he was still shouting that he would get back before curfew, but when he arrived at Jinxiang Courtyard, he had no idea what was going on. In addition, when Xue Pan invited Zhang Yunyi at the dinner table, the half-woman's words made him set his sights on Yun'er.

Xue Pan was not a fussy person to begin with, and he saw through Jia Lian's intention, so he generously let Yun'er serve him.

The girls in brothels love money, but most of the ones who usually accompany them are potbellied and also like to be coquettish.

Xue Pan looks rude and is not a considerate and gentle person. Yun'er has been kept by him for half a year and has long been disgusted with her.

When she first saw Jia Lian, such a handsome young man, she was drooling and tried her best to please him.

Although Jia Lian had hooked up with many good girls in the south of the Yangtze River, he could only occasionally use servants to relieve his sexual desire during the half month on his way back to the capital. The dry wood and the alcohol catalyzed the passion, and by the morning there was not a drop of liquid left.

Since Jia She revealed that he had been to a brothel, I'm afraid Wang Xifeng had also heard about it.

After leaving Beijing for a year, he spent the night in a brothel on his return and did not return all night. When he returned home, he did not express his feelings, which was probably beyond the reach of Wang Xifeng.

Originally, going to the East Palace to find Jia Zhen was not a big deal.

But he had just been beaten by Jia She and had scars on his face, so it was difficult to explain, so he had to come to Xue Pan to ask for compensation.

Because he was worried about being seen on the road, he walked stealthily all the way.

Xue Pan came back with him, but Jia Lian was stopped at the gate. He had been back for a while and was woken up in a daze. He was too lazy to pay attention to anything. He just opened the drawer at the head of the bed, said "get it yourself", turned over, and fell asleep again.

There were three bottles in the drawer, which looked unremarkable. Jia Lian had exhausted too much energy, so he wanted to find some strong medicine to boost his spirits.

Looking at the three bottles at this moment, I can’t tell which one is right for me.

He had exhausted all his energy on Yun'er yesterday, and now he had woken up Xue Pan. He felt really bad, so he thought about it and poured out a pill from each of the three bottles, sniffed them, and made sure that the taste was good, so he poured one pill into each bottle.

He was too lazy to find warm water to take it, so he just swallowed it raw.

He took this kind of medicine a lot on a daily basis. As he had been ill for a long time, he became a good doctor and had a very accurate grasp of the time when the medicine's effects took effect.

Silently calculating the time for the journey and for dealing with Wang Xifeng's questioning, he sat in Xue Pan's room for a cup of tea. Only after he had suppressed the fishy and disgusting desire in his heart for the pills did he leave the Xue family's courtyard.

He was too lazy to take a detour and hurried back home.

Ping'er was seen standing in the middle of the yard, guarding Wang Xifeng with her hands on her hips, looking intimidating and fierce, and scowling coldly.

He quickly hunched his back and trotted forward, bowed and said, "My dear lady, I miss you so much!"

He raised his head with a flattering look on his face and reached out to grab Wang Xifeng's arm.

Wang Xifeng slapped his hand and spat, "Bah! You are fooling me! I'm afraid you have been bewitched by some bitch outside and you really don't want to come back, right?"

Originally, she had waited for a whole night and was already burning with anger, but when she saw the wound on Jia Lian's face, her heart softened and her tone was not as sharp as she had expected.

Jia Lian had been trying to play the victim, but now, observing the other's expression, he quickly complained, "Second Madam is innocent! People say that a short absence is better than a new marriage. With a wife as beautiful as a flower like Grandma at home, how could I want to stay out there..."

He paused, put on an indignant look, and said, "It's also my fault for not knowing the truth. I thought about the old lady's instructions and couldn't neglect Brother Yi, so I fell for Brother Zhen's trick!
He and the master had a falling out over Brother Yi’s marriage, and he took it out on me. He tried his best to get me drunk at the table, and took me to the brothel by force while I was unconscious… I treated him as a brother, but he treated me like this. If the master hadn’t taught me a lesson just now, I would still be in the dark…”

He recounted half-truths and half-lies what had happened last night and in Jia She's Courtyard.

He did not waste time in Xue Pan's room just now, as he had already thought of a way to deal with it.

Since he knew that Jia She had been humiliated by Jia Zhen, he could use him now. Although he didn't know Jia Zhen had the idea of ​​getting him drunk, he didn't have any psychological burden to stab him since they were brothers.

Finally, he pointed at the wound on his face and said, "I just happened to encounter Baoyu's madness. The old lady didn't care about the master, and the master just thought I was entertaining Brother Zhen. I got beaten for nothing..."

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng's expression suddenly became a little unnatural.

She knew in her heart that if she had not intentionally concealed the fact that Jia Lian was ordered by Lady Jia to accompany Zhang Yunyi last night, he might not have been beaten so severely.

However, having said that, it is impossible to admit that you are wrong.

He quickly changed the subject and asked, "So, the old lady also intends to let the second girl marry Brother Yi?"

If Zhang Yun逸 could marry Yingchun, Wang Xifeng would naturally applaud.

Not to mention that his business now has an extra layer of security, but if Jia She and his wife need money in the future, there will be someone to support them, right?

"you do not say!"

Seeing that Wang Xifeng did not insist on making a mistake, Jia Lian quickly followed her lead and said, "It is not difficult to get closer to him, but... the master also asked me to find out what kind of girls he likes, and he refuses to go to brothels. You can't ask me to ask him in person, right?"

He was not careful for a moment and mentioned that Zhang Yunyi was unwilling to go with them, which was inconsistent with his previous words when he was drunk.

Wang Xifeng naturally heard the difference.

However, although she scoffed at Ping'er's words last night, she took it to heart. Besides, because of her, Jia Lian was beaten severely, so she pretended to be ignorant and didn't notice.

Instead, he took the opportunity to say, "I do have an idea that can help you deal with it."

"What idea?" Jia Lian was troubled by this.

"Tomorrow we will tell him that we want to give Ping'er to him as a concubine. If he agrees, he will be very happy. Then we can report to the master and the mistress..."

After all, Ping'er was Jia Lian's nominal concubine, and she was worried about how to explain it to him. Now that the opportunity was right in front of her, she naturally would not let it go.

"No! No..." Jia Lian shook his head like a rattle.

"Why not!" Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and said, "The Second Miss is your biological sister. As brother and sister-in-law, we can't just not do anything without doing anything. I haven't settled the score with you for what happened last night yet!"

When Jia Lian heard that she wanted to bring up the old matter again, he thought that she was jealous because she did not come home last night and was trying to give Ping'er away, so he immediately stopped.

He didn't know that Ping'er was already Zhang Yun逸's woman.

He thought to himself that the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it, and he couldn't use force against Wang Xifeng, so he had to ask Zhang Yunyi for help.

Since the old lady and the master are interested in getting married, the marriage is inevitable. As his brother-in-law, wouldn't it be easy for me to ask him to get rid of a maid?
"Second Madam, calm down! You are right. As brother and sister-in-law, we really can't not show some appreciation. I was just worried that he wouldn't accept it. I definitely didn't mean anything else!"

Wang Xifeng naturally understood the meaning of Jia Lian's words.

She sneered inwardly. Not even a bone was left, and she still thought Zhang Yunyi would vomit it out?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but recall the fierce battle in the back corridor that night, and she unconsciously let out a soul-stirring groan from her nose.

She was afraid that Jia Lian would notice, so she quickly gave him a charming smile and covered it up by saying, "If he doesn't want to accept it, we can look for someone else in the mansion, and we will eventually be able to find out his preferences."

This muffled groan, coupled with her rare charm, immediately triggered the effects of the medicine.

Jia Lian suddenly felt his mouth watering, so he swallowed his saliva, licked his face, and moved closer. He took Wang Xifeng's arm and said jokingly, "I have kept my virginity pure for you for this year. Please check it out, madam!"

Wang Xifeng glanced at him coquettishly, then shyly and half-reluctantly allowed Jia Lian to pull her towards the house.

She stepped over the threshold, entered the house, and when she turned to the inner room, she caught a glimpse of Ping'er standing in the yard in a daze.

Fang remembered that she was already Zhang Yunyi's woman, and it would be inappropriate to ask her to serve after the couple had sex, so he quickly turned his head and ordered, "Go call Sister Shan over!"
