The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 178 The unspeakable secret
In the afterglow of the setting sun, Zhang Yunyi accompanied everyone to have breakfast and dinner in the glass house.

Before the sun sets, send the person all the way to Rong Mansion.

It's not that I'm trying to be nice to you, but I have to walk these extra steps.

Instead, he learned a lot of inside information from Ping'er and took the opportunity to visit Jia Lian in the outer study.

Firstly, it gave him a chance to intercede for Yingchun so that he could take advantage of the situation and finalize Ping'er's matter.

Secondly, it was also to test the depth of the conflict between him and Wang Xifeng, and to see if there was a chance to add fuel to the fire.

Although he was under house arrest, he was not unable to go out.

After all, now that I'm back, I have to share some of the work in the garden.

However, Wang Xifeng received an order from Lady Jia to not only set up access control at the door of the study, but also have several people following her whenever she went out.

The servant guarding the gate saw Zhang Yun逸 coming to visit and of course did not dare to stop him.

"Brother Yi, we are a rare visitor. Please come in quickly!"

As soon as I arrived in front of the study, I smelled a faint fishy odor.

Zhang Yunyi stopped, frowned slightly, and looked at Jia Lian with a puzzled look.

"Brother Lian, what's that smell in there?"

"Go in and talk."

Jia Lian lowered his voice, glanced around with a guilty look on his face, and then lifted the door curtain.

Zhang Yun逸 entered the house and saw a small red clay stove in the middle of the room. Something was stewing on it and the smell was coming from the stove.

In this situation, Zhang Yunyi smiled and joked, "I heard that Brother Lian and his wife had a rift and moved to the outer study room. I didn't expect that there would be such a casual relationship. It seems that I was worrying too much. Brother Lian seems to be enjoying it!"

After hearing this, Jia Lian shook his head, a trace of bitterness on his face, and forced a smile, "How can I have any leisure time? Brother, I am so worried."

"There is no overnight hatred between husband and wife. Could it be that Brother Lian's medicinal food is intended to treat the symptoms?"

He paused and said tentatively: "It seems that you came at the wrong time, and you delayed Brother Lian's return home."

"Why go back home? Brother, I wish I could just live here and have some free time!"

"Why is that?" Zhang Yunyi asked in confusion, "Although my sister-in-law is a little bit stronger, she is also worried and confused. It's also my fault that I couldn't stop you that day, and let Brother Lian suffer here. As the saying goes, husband and wife fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed. Brother Lian will take the blame, and this matter will be over."

"apologize?"

Jia Lian flicked his sleeves and blurted out, "You want me to apologize to her? Half of my problems are caused by her scaring me!"

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Jia Lian realized that he had let the cat out of the bag when he heard this. He was speechless for a long time before he took a deep breath, shook his head, and sighed, "Brother was too exhausted that day. I wanted to borrow a pill from Wenlong so that I could go back and fool him. But that Yasha Star was so unreasonable..."

He sighed and recounted what had happened in a half-concealed manner.

It turned out that among the three pills that day, there was a strong medicine mixed with wine, enough for several people to take.

But Jia Lian didn't understand why, and not only did he take the pills himself, he also lost the other two.

To the extent that it is difficult to eliminate the medicinal properties for a while.

And that girl, who was a playboy to begin with, was delighted to see the prey and spent several nights with him.

Until Wang Xifeng brought people over, neither of them had gotten out of bed.

Wang Xifeng was already resentful, and she became even more furious. Not only did she let the servants break in, she also scolded and beat the man.

It was not known whether it was due to shock or excessive exhaustion, but from then on, Jia Lian had a secret problem. He did not dare to try medicine again, so he had to ask his servant to find some medicine to nourish the body, stew some medicinal food, and take good care of himself.

But he had been eating this three times a day, and more than half a month had passed with no improvement. One can imagine how resentful he was.

People rarely look for reasons in themselves, and Jia Lian is no exception.

So they ignored the possibility of excessive waste and simply attributed the reason to being frightened at the moment when they couldn't stop.

After hearing this, Zhang Yun逸 was also stunned. He had originally planned to fan the flames, but now it seemed that there was no need for that.

I could only comfort him: "Brother Lian, please accept my condolences. As long as you take good care of yourself, there is always hope for your recovery."

Jia Lian was in a bad mood right now, so he had no time to think about Yingchun.

Instead, she kept asking him to help her find out if there was any recipe for recovery.

Zhang Yunyi naturally agreed on the surface. The two chatted for a while, and seeing that he still couldn't get the point, he said goodbye.

Jia Lian didn't know what he had entrusted to the wrong person, so he escorted him all the way to the gate of the outer study, and repeatedly reminded him: "I heard that there are many rare treasures in the inner palace. Please help me find out more about them. If you can solve my difficult secret, I will be very grateful."

"Brother Lian is in a serious condition. I am also responsible for this. If I had been able to stop him in time, you wouldn't have suffered this disaster."

After saying goodbye to Jia Lian, he returned to Ning Mansion. As soon as he entered the second gate, he heard a burst of angry cursing coming from Jia Rong's courtyard.

Zhang Yunyi was just hesitating whether to go over and see what was going on when he saw Youshi jogging over.

"What's going on here?"

Yu said with disdain: "What else could it be? It's just because of the little harvest on the farm!"

After hearing this, Zhang Yun逸 was not interested in going either. This was a planned strategy.

Throw out Zhuangzi's harvest as bait and let the father and son fight each other.

"How much silver did you collect?"

It’s not about how much money you have, but about knowing it.

"Excluding the game, the total amount was only over 3,000 taels. Rong'er deducted nearly 1,000 taels from it, so he only had a little over 2,000 taels left."

You explained, "There was no snow in the twelfth month of last year, so it was normal for the eight or nine farms outside to have poor harvests. However, he originally estimated that there would be at least four or five thousand taels, and now it's half less, so how could he not be suspicious?"

Zhang Yunyi learned about the approximate income, but was too lazy to pay attention. He turned to ask, "Do you remember how long Sister Zhu was away from the table when my uncle celebrated his birthday last time?"

Yu looked at him in surprise and said, "How long can it take? I saw her chasing you to the garden, so I went to look for her at the right time. Including the time on the road, it should only take an hour."

Zhang Yunyi licked his lips and asked, "So, she stayed in the garden for an hour?"

Yu Shi was doubtful and said, "When I saw her, she was not well dressed and covered with dust. Why? Didn't she follow you..."

"I was with Ping'er that day, and she saw us."

Zhang Yunyi did not hide anything and told Li Wan what she had helped to conceal. He said with a smile, "Hearing what my sister-in-law said, I'm afraid she not only saw it, but also hid in the dark and eavesdropped."

In fact, the Ning Mansion now has strict access control. Because he was worried that Ping'er was shy, he sent away the gatekeeper in advance when he passed by the door.

Otherwise, even if Li Wan was really following him, he would not be kept in the dark.

Originally, after listening to Ping'er's revelation of the two people's false responses, he had some guesses, and now it was confirmed by Youshi.

It seems that the grandmother of the West Mansion also has some unspeakable secrets and is in urgent need of someone to relieve her troubles!
