The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 17: A Surprise

Strangely enough, when she went there, Youshi was nervous, afraid of being seen.

But after really getting over this hurdle, I realized that I had done everything I should and shouldn't have done, and I felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.

When she returned to her room, she saw Jia Zhen hugging Yin Die and sleeping soundly on her bed. The last trace of guilt she had felt disappeared.

She didn't dare to offend Jia Zhen, so she had to go forward and push Yindie awake.

"Why don't you get up quickly? When will it be your turn to sleep in my bed?"

The step-out bed is divided into a canopy bed and a porch in front of the bed.

Generally speaking, even the maid who served closely could only sleep in the corridor in front of the bed so that she could be looked after at night.

Even if you go to bed at the request of the man, you should return to your own position after you are done.

Yin Die was usually not afraid of her, and now that Jia Zhen had just had a great time, he didn't take her seriously.

"These are all orders from the master. I have no choice. I can't go against the master's wishes, can I?" She pushed Jia Zhen and said, "Master, please speak for me quickly, otherwise if the lady blames me, I can't bear it."

Although he said he couldn't take the responsibility, there was no sign of worry on his face.

Jia Zhen was pushed by Yin Die and opened his eyes. Seeing Youshi in front of the corridor, he shouted, "What are you making a fuss about? Have you finished your business?"

He was woken up from his sleep. He intended this sentence to scold Yindie, but to Youshi's ears, it sounded like he was blaming her.

Thinking that Zhang Yunyi had no one in the room recently, he would have to go again. Keeping Yindie, who was hard to tame, would inevitably lead to trouble. So she took the opportunity to say, "It is true that I shouldn't have made a fuss, but this girl has climbed onto my bed, and I dare not order her around anymore. I'd better let her stay with the master, and I'll change someone else tomorrow."

It was impossible for her to not have a maid forever, but it was impossible for Zhang Yunyi to drag it on forever, so he could take advantage of this gap and benefit both sides.

It has to be said that there are always more solutions than problems. Once you have an idea, you can always find various opportunities.

Yindie had long been unwilling to keep her cold heart burning, and she wished she could follow Jia Zhen, and kept leaning into Jia Zhen's arms.

While curling up his legs calmly, he reached his hand down.

Jia Zhen didn't care who a maid followed, but he enjoyed the fact that Yin Die was playing both sides.

"Alright! Then just follow me!"

However, what he was most concerned about at the moment was the problem of the two maids, which stopped Yin Die from taking any further action.

"Tell me quickly, how is it going?"

"It's agreed that the indenture will be delivered tomorrow." Yu Shi knew that she had to pick the good ones first.

"Good! Good! You did a good job this time. Be careful with your words to your wife and don't irritate her. If you can handle this well, I won't bother you about the previous things."

Jia Zhen didn't notice the difference at all, and said complacently: "I told you! What cat doesn't like fishy smells? Isn't it settled once I say it?"

"We all misunderstood each other. It took me a lot of effort to finally figure out the reason."

"Oh?"

Yu Shi then explained, "He said something like he had an imperial decree and couldn't be distracted right now. He should first accept the indentures of the two maids and then..."

Having said this, she looked at Jia Zhen with a wary look, fearing that he would attack her again.

Unexpectedly, Jia Zhen was not annoyed, but laughed and said, "This is better. As long as he has chosen someone, he won't care about the time."

Just when Youshi thought Jia Zhen had changed his mind, he pointed at her and said, "Remember last time Imperial Doctor Zhang said that my daughter-in-law's illness can only be cured after the Spring Equinox. Go talk to him tomorrow and talk about it. Why not wait until he's done with this job and send her and her indenture to him at once?"

He had no doubt about Zhang Yunyi's reasons, and even hoped that he would see some results soon so that he could get a piece of the pie.

Before the matter was finalized, he was worried that his plan would fail, but now he hoped for perfection. Even though Youshi was looking forward to having an excuse to find Zhang Yunyi, she was furious when she heard this reason.

"I begged and pleaded with him to finally give in, but now he's dragging his feet again. How can I put my face aside?"

Youshi knew Jia Zhen's temper very well. For Qin Shi, he would not be soft-hearted even if it made things difficult for her, so she took the opportunity to make trouble for him.

Jia Zhen was fooled, and he stopped bossing around. Instead, he smiled and said, "What's the big deal? There's no one here. Just say there are too many indentures in the mansion and you can't find them all at once. Be humble, tell him you're wrong, and ask him to forgive you for a while."

He kicked Yindie and yelled, "There's no place for you to sleep here. Get out of the way, Madam! And bring me the white porcelain bottle next to my bed."

Jia Zhen thought that Youshi's harassment was dissatisfaction, so he wanted to comfort her.

But he was not as vigorous as Zhang Yunyi, so he thought he couldn't be too perfunctory.

But he had no idea that Youshi had already eaten and drunk her fill at Zhang Yunyi's place, so she didn't care about his topping at all.

No...it’s not even a topping, it’s just soup.

"Forget it! I'm tired too. Taking too much of that tiger and wolf medicine is not good for my body. I'm also tired. Yun Yi wants my help with the errand tomorrow."

Originally, seeing that Jia Zhen did not pursue the matter, she was worried about complications and did not use her backup plan. But now she can only use this excuse.

Yu Shi still didn't know what Zhang Yunyi meant by the emperor's errand, but Jia Zhen knew it all and asked immediately, "A errand? What kind of errand did he say it was?"

"This..." Yu Shi hesitated, "He just said it was an errand for the Emperor. I saw it was getting late, so I didn't ask in detail..."

It was just an excuse, but when Jia Zhen continued to question him, he couldn't help feeling guilty.

Unexpectedly, Jia Zhen clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Since it is the emperor's errand, I will definitely not be able to escape."

After saying this, he looked at Youshi with shining eyes.

He was worrying about how to get involved, but he didn't expect that Youshi, who was useless in his eyes, would intervene and disrupt the situation.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help rubbing his hands.

Youshi just thought he was in the mood and secretly groaned in her heart. They were husband and wife, and although she had been tormented to the point of numbness and weakness, if Jia Zhen really wanted to force himself on her, she had no reason to refuse.

However, Zhang Yunyi's hands were not gentle or heavy, and it was unknown whether there were any traces on his body.

Just as he was feeling anxious, he saw Jia Zhen's eyes narrowed into a line, smacking his lips and saying, "Don't worry about anything else for the time being. Go to him whenever you have something to do. If he has any requests, do your best to satisfy him."

Yu Shi was still confused, but Jia Zhen became more and more excited as he spoke, "The truth is revealed in the details. You can't just focus on the job. You should go to ask about my health three times a day, morning and evening. Use all the energy you usually put into taking care of me. Be as considerate as you can."

Youshi's jaw dropped in shock, and she was speechless as she said, "How can a sister-in-law go into her brother-in-law's room every day?"

"What are you afraid of? I want to see who dares to talk too much. If you can trap him, whoever dares to turn his back on you in this mansion will be the first one I will not forgive."

"Since you said so, I can only give up this face."

"What shame? Money is useless!"

"In that case, I have to go and ask about your well-being early tomorrow morning as instructed by Master. Can I rest earlier now?"

"Hey!" Jia Zhen quickly stood up, put on his clothes and said, "Then you should go to bed early."

"Wait!" Yu pointed at Yindie and said, "The quilt and bedding have all been changed. There's a foul smell that's disgusting!"
