The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 234 Master and Servant Night Talk
Yingchun and her servant also stayed awake.

Back at Zhuijin Tower, Siqi helped Yingchun wash up and get into bed.

She threw her own bedding to the porch in front of the bed and said, "Miss! I think the third lady did it on purpose. She stopped me from delivering it. It seems that she is also thinking about Master Yi."

Mrs. Xing was in a hurry. The first two times Zhang Yunyi came to tell the story, Siqi tried to intercept him, but was caught up by the maid every time, who said some meaningless gossip.

After all this, I had no choice but to give up this method. Today, Tanchun spoke up to obstruct me again, so it was no wonder that she was suspicious.

"This... can't be? Even though she stopped us, she had no excuse to ask the maid to deliver it."

"Miss, don't you think about it? She has done something like this and has won a lot of praise from Master Yi. Why would she need to take risks? But Miss is not good at poetry. Every time she goes there, she can only sit there and not even say a few words."

Siqi said this and sat down on the edge of the bed.

She was born with a voluptuous, round buttocks, which pressed against the edge of the bed, looked even fuller, and her lower back seemed to be collapsed.

Yingchun was sleeping on her side to make it easier to talk to her, and this scene immediately came into her sight.

She couldn't help but mutter to herself that Mrs. Xing had never been able to achieve the same effect no matter how much she padded and lined herself, but for Siqi, it was natural and effortless.

I couldn't help but stare at it in fascination.

Siqi did not turn around, and did not notice Yingchun's gaze. She just said to herself, "Originally, whenever Master Yi came in, even if he did not come to our place, we would always have a chance to meet. But now, even though he comes into the garden every now and then, he always tells those stupid stories. Everyone is gathered together. When will Miss have a chance to be alone?"

After talking for a long time, Yingchun still didn't respond, so Siqi turned around and looked back.

And complained: "Miss, please say something!"

Yingchun noticed that she was twisting her waist and quickly turned over and lay flat on her back.

She looked towards Siqi, but her view was blocked by two mountains.

The two tender hands hidden in the quilt unconsciously rested in front of her body.

Then he sighed and said, "You know, I don't have any ideas. I just do whatever my wife tells me to do. I tried my method today, but in public, with Third Sister saying that, how can I refute it?"

At this point, she changed the subject: "But if there is someone around Brother Yi who can help talk to him, this matter will be much simpler."

"If there was someone who could speak for us, my wife would have asked for it long ago. Why would we have to worry about it?"

Yingchun pursed her lips, looked at Siqi and said, "You are my eldest maid. Even if I marry in the future, you will still have to go with me. It would be better for me to tell my wife first and send you over first. This way, with you by Brother Yi's side, things will be much simpler..."

"No, no, no!" Si Qi tried to stop her, "How can I go? I have served the young lady for so many years, and now I am going to be with Master Yi. It is so unclear that the young lady will inevitably be criticized. It is better for us to go and talk to the old lady and ask her to ask the third young lady not to cause trouble for us!"

"No!" Yingchun said hurriedly, "Third sister and I are both granddaughters, so it doesn't matter who we marry. She has always been favored more than me. It's just that the master and the mistress paid attention to her this time, and the second master and the second mistress didn't pay attention to her. Otherwise, how could it be my turn?"

As soon as Siqi sat on the bed, she started thinking about this, and she had already thought it through and had a plan in mind.

"If you really want to be criticized, then I asked you to send it off today, which was already inappropriate. Why should I try to cover up the truth? If I rashly let you go, it would naturally be inappropriate, but now there is a ready-made opportunity."

Siqi blurted out: "What opportunity?"

After asking, she felt a little regretful. She should have asked Yingchun to give up the idea instead of continuing this topic.

Before she could find a reason, Yingchun took over the conversation: "Think about it, Brother Yi only has Ruizhu as his maid. We saw it when we went to the East Palace before the New Year. Not to mention that Sister Zhen and her younger sister have no one around them, even Xiangling, who is pregnant, has no one to help. As long as I ask you to take care of Xiangling, even if there will inevitably be some gossip, it's not a big deal..."

"This..." Siqi hesitated for a moment. As Yingchun's maid, it was almost certain that she would be included in the dowry and become a maidservant.

But if she follows Xiangling, she can get rid of the status of a maid, and there will be no need to talk about dowry in the future.

Zhang Yunyi's character is well-known, so she is not worried.

However, with Yingchun by her side, she has been acting as a shield. Once she goes to the East Palace to follow Xiangling, those in the family who are bent on climbing up the social ladder will probably turn around and urge her to climb into Zhang Yunyi's bed.

For this reason, she could not rely on her family at all and could only hope to help with Yingchun's marriage.

Although if Yingchun married into the Zhang family, she could also be asked for help based on her merits and years of friendship.

But there is a contingency in everything.

If she hadn't seen through Tanchun's thoughts, she would still have some confidence, but now it is a different matter.

After all, no matter from which perspective, marrying into the second wife's family is better than marrying into the first wife's family.

She was in a dilemma, but suddenly her eyes lit up.

"Miss, you are just missing someone to pass on the message. I have a suitable candidate!"

"Who should I choose?"

"Yuanyang!" Siqi said succinctly, "The old lady has tacitly approved this matter, so she will definitely not shirk her responsibility."

At this point, she hesitated and said, "Besides... when she sent Master Yi out a few years ago, I saw her... she seemed to be talking and laughing with Master Yi, and they got along quite well."

She originally wanted to say that it was a matter of pulling and tugging, but considering the reputation of Yuanyang, she changed her words.

"But...but it's fine if you spread this, but how can I say it to Yuanyang?"

"Miss, rest assured! Leave this matter to me..."

She thought about it and changed her words: "Miss, if you are worried, let's try Yuanyang first."

"How to test her?"

"I'll invite her over some other day, and tell her that you don't have a stable man in your house. When you want to get married, ask the old lady for her as a dowry, so that she can help with housework in the future. She stays with the old lady all day, so she must know who the young lady wants to marry. As long as she agrees, then the matter will be 100% certain!"

Yingchun looked conflicted and said, "But... after all, she is the old lady and the ancestor. If she goes with you as a dowry, I'm afraid it will affect you..."

Siqi said in a resolute voice: "It's already this time. Why are you still hesitating? As long as you can get what you want, I will give this deputy lady to Yuanyang. What's the harm?"

"Siqi!" Yingchun suddenly sat up from the bed, holding Siqi's hand and saying, "Don't worry, as long as I can marry you, I will beg for a name for you!"

"Let's take care of the present first and talk about this later."

Siqi didn't dare to agree, and quickly changed the subject, saying, "It's getting late, Miss, go to bed early. I will go to find Sister Yuanyang tomorrow."

"Hey! Hey!" Yingchun patted her hands twice and then lay back on the bed.
