The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 184 Agreement
"Grandma! Grandma Jane is here!"

After finishing her morning and evening visits, Li Wan returned to her own courtyard and heard the maid's report.

She couldn't help but blurt out, "So... so early?"

Fortunately, she realized her mistake in time and changed "fast" to "morning".

He took two steps at a time and came to the main hall of his own house, where he saw Youshi sitting upright on a chair, leisurely sipping the tea brought by the maid.

She didn't care about being rude and grabbed Youshi and pulled her into the inner room.

He lowered his voice and said insincerely, "Didn't we agree to go to the old lady in two days and ask me to come over? Why... why are you in such a hurry?"

Although she lowered her voice, her tone was very urgent. Not only did she sound impatient, but she couldn't help swallowing dryly at the end.

Yu Shi saw this and said jokingly, "Who said I came here to invite you today?"

Li Wan felt lost upon hearing this, but she murmured, "That... that's good..."

Yu Shi wanted to tease her, so she pinched her waist and said jokingly, "My sister looks much better today than yesterday. I guess you slept well last night."

She took advantage of the situation and hugged Li Wan's waist, half hugging and half dragging the wooden chicken-like Li Wan to the kang, sighing: "It's hard for Brother Yi, he spent a lot of time and effort for you, and worked hard all night..."

Li Wan was startled by her crazy words. She looked towards the door and complained, "Sister-in-law... How can you say such a thing!"

Although some things were tacitly understood by both of them, they still had to take care of the surface. Yesterday, she had been using Jia Lan's method of strengthening the body as a cover, and she could still pretend to be confused.

How could she save face when such a straightforward and frank statement was made?

You pinched her waist and said with a smile, "What are you thinking about? He sympathizes with you and is willing to take risks for his son. He has been thinking about it all night and has made a perfect plan..."

She revealed Zhang Yunyi's plan in detail, and at the end, she tried to cover it up by saying, "He is willing to think about you so much, and he will definitely support Lan in the future. Ordinary men only care about themselves and would never spend so much time on others. Only he has pity on you, an orphan and a widow..."

Originally, Li Wan was just touched by the loneliness of being a widow for ten years, and was also provoked by Youshi. She could not control herself for a while, and she just wanted to pursue her wish.

At this moment, hearing that Zhang Yunyi was so deliberate and considerate of himself, he felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.

He said incoherently: "He...thanks...thank you sister-in-law for your pity."

Although Youshi fell in love with Li Wan over time and her experience was different from Li Wan's, she was still touched when Zhang Yunyi made plans for her.

In addition, as an experienced person, he immediately noticed something from Li Wan's expression.

"Why thank me? When you see him in the future, thank him in person. Don't let him down. I see that he is very interested in Lan. If you put in some more effort, he might become your godson. Then you and your mother won't have to rely on us anymore."

"Sister-in-law...Sister-in-law, please stop talking. I am just a woman, how can I help you?"

"There are mothers who are honored by their sons, so why can't sons be honored by their mothers? Brother Yi is the most loyal and righteous, especially the most cherishing of old friendships. I don't need to say much about his character. Who in the mansion doesn't know him?"

She leaned close to Li Wan's ear and said some ambiguous and crazy words, especially focusing on certain key words in a pretentious tone, which made Li Wan very angry.

Seeing that the words had been brought to her lips, Li Wan was also aroused, and Youshi was also worried that it was too much.

He stood up and said, "Just wait! When the girls decide on a date to go, I will send someone over to ask you to go with me."

……

Unexpectedly, Youshi's words "just wait and see" actually came true.

Although she had been back for only two days, news came out that she had caught a cold.

However, although the sisters agreed to go again, they did not set a time.

Counting the days was the hardest, especially when there was no fixed time and I had to take a ride from others. Although I couldn't stand it every time, I sent Suyun to sleep in another room, but this did not ease my mood, but made me more anxious.

There seemed to be a heat in the mouth, and several blisters appeared.

At one point, she almost couldn't help herself and wanted to take the initiative to ask Lady Jia to go to the East Palace to visit the "sick" Youshi, but in the end, she was worried that it would be superfluous and ruin Zhang Yunyi's plan, so she had to endure it silently.

Fortunately, she was not the only one who was anxious.

On this day, all the female relatives gathered in Rongqing Hall.

Tanchun shook Lin Daiyu's arm and said coquettishly, "It's rare that the weather is good these days. Sister, why don't you take advantage of the New Year to test Xiangling's poetry. The story that Brother Yi told last time was really interesting. Let's ask if there are any other stories."

Lin Daiyu pinched her nose and said with a smile, "If you want to hear the story, then you want to hear the story. It's okay to use me as a pretext. But since you have heard the story, you can't keep it to yourself. You need to teach Xiangling your experience in writing poems as well."

Before Tanchun could reply, Xiangyun said, "Of course! Since we have listened to Brother Yi's story, we should return the favor."

She clapped her hands, pulled Baochai and said, "Sister Bao, don't you think so?"

Baochai originally didn't want to join in the fun, but was afraid of spoiling their mood, so she joined in.

Yingchun, who was standing by, lowered her head unconsciously.

Although she can write poems, her level is not as good as Lin Daiyu, Baochai and Xiangyun. Among her sisters, she is probably slightly better than the younger Xichun.

Grandmother Jia saw her embarrassment and said with a smile, "I heard that Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law is ill. Since you are going there, you can go see her together."

She immediately instructed Amber, "You will only speak to Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law when you go to the East Palace."

Li Wan had been looking forward to this day for a long time. Now that the time has come, she couldn't help but feel worried. She was worried that Youshi would let her down, and she was also afraid that Grandmother Jia would stand in her way.

My heart was beating fast, as if it was stuck in my throat.

A few moments.

You Shi sent someone to reply to Grandmother Jia: "The master took my son to the farm outside the city a few days ago. He is afraid that he will not be back for some time. Grandma is sick and there is no one to talk to. I heard that the girls will go there to enjoy the snow tomorrow, so I want to invite Grandma Zhu to go with them so that she can chat with them and relieve their boredom."

Because Jia Jing was a layman, in Ning Mansion, the servants were accustomed to calling her Madam You. But when he came to Rong Mansion, they treated her as people of the same generation, so they only called her Grandma.

If Jia Zhen and his son were at home, Grandmother Jia would still hesitate, but now she agreed without a second thought.

"Then you don't need to come over to greet us tomorrow. Go with them to the East Palace and visit Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law on behalf of me and my wife!"

When Li Wan heard this, she felt a buzz in her head, and finally a stone fell to the ground.

"Yeah!~"

She wanted to reply to Lady Jia, but her throat seemed to be blocked. She could only groan and bow to Lady Jia as a sign of agreement.

She spent the whole day in a daze and barely made it to the evening.

After instructing Suyun to take good care of Jia Lan who was studying, she returned to her room.

I originally planned to go to bed early to recharge my energy, but when I lay down on the bed, I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

I kept on doing this until the second half of the night, when I finally ran out of energy and fell into a sleep in a daze.
