The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 236 Forced
Zilingzhou, Zhujin Tower.

However, when the master and servant got up in the morning, before they could go to invite Yuanyang, Mrs. Xing arrived first.

She walked around Ziling Island with a haughty look on her face, and when she entered Zhuijin Tower, she was dissatisfied with everything.

He stepped forward and grabbed Yingchun's collar, shaking the collar to reveal a streak of snow-white.

Fang said in a bossy tone, "Why don't you change into the clothes I gave you? You've been here for a month and you haven't made any progress. Do you think that just because you move in, you are far away from the emperor and me and the master can't control you, and you're starting to disobey us?"

Yingchun covered her chest with her hands and said timidly, "My daughter doesn't dare! It's just...it's just..."

"Just what? I heard that he comes to the garden every now and then. If you weren't lazy, how could you still have no clue? Don't blame me for not reminding you. The master spent a lot of money on your marriage. If something goes wrong, you know his temper!"

Seeing Yingchun was speechless after what Mrs. Xing said, Siqi stepped forward and said, "Madam, you are right. Miss has also been thinking of a way. Last night, Master Yi came over to tell a story, and Miss was planning to go and see him off at night, but was stopped by the third lady..."

Seeing that Mrs. Xing had an unfriendly attitude, she decided to go see Yingchun off herself instead of sending her to see her off herself.

Although Yingchun felt that it was inappropriate, she did not dare to correct it in the face of Mrs. Xing's accusation, and could only acquiesce to Siqi's statement.

"What? Is this true?" Madam Xing couldn't help but frowned. "The old lady has acquiesced. I think she is going to make a scene. What does it have to do with her whether you send her off or not?"

The more she spoke, the angrier she became. She said angrily, "You were raised by the eldest master and his parents, and this girl Tan was raised by the second master and his parents. You two have the same background. Although your mother died earlier, your mother was ten times better than Aunt Zhao. You should be better than girl Tan. You are older than her and have the support of the old lady and us. It would be fine if you didn't bully her, but why did she bully you instead?"

After being criticized by Mrs. Xing, Yingchun was speechless and could only lower her head and cover her clothes.

"Madam, this is not the young lady's fault!"

"Don't blame her?" Madam Xing squinted at Siqi and said, "I think you are also responsible! If you don't have any clues, tell your parents to tie you up and send you to Brother Yi first!"

Si Qi's face froze, and she quickly explained: "Madam, you don't know. Miss is also worried that this matter will spread and will be heard by the old lady..."

Mrs. Xing interrupted her impatiently before she could finish, "That's strange! The old lady tacitly approved this marriage. She wasn't worried about it getting to the old lady, but you guys are the ones worrying about it first. Why are you so worried?"

Siqi could only bite the bullet and say, "Madam, please allow me to report this. From what I and the young lady think, the third young lady is also planning this marriage... But she is a young lady, and there is no one to make the decision right now. If the old lady knew about this, it would probably cause trouble!"

Mrs. Xing can be so casual with Yingchun, let alone her, a maid?
Although Tanchun's behavior is just her guess and there is no evidence yet.

But the arrow is on the string, and she can only take advantage of the open and secret struggles between the first and second wives to buy time.

"What? She dares to pick our peaches?" Madam Xing grabbed Yingchun and said, "Come on! Follow me to the old lady and tell her what I said! I want to see..."

"Madam, you can't do that!" Siqi said in surprise. "Madam, think about it, for the old lady, the young lady and the third lady are both granddaughters, and she has always... the young lady is not as favored as the third lady. If this matter gets out, if the second lady makes the decision for the third lady, it will be too late to regret it!"

She originally wanted to say that the old lady was partial to her, but when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she realized that something was wrong, so she changed her words and said that Yingchun was not as favored as Tanchun.

"How dare she!" Mrs. Xing shouted angrily, "The master spent a lot of money on this..."

Before she could even mention the silver, she realized that Jia She not only did not pay a penny, but actually made a small fortune from the old lady.

Seeing her stop talking abruptly, Siqi thought she was persuaded, and hurriedly said, "Although the master spent money, we are still a family after all. Even if the old lady really changed her mind, can the master still use that little money to make trouble? But once this matter is reported to the old lady, it will be hard to say!

Although the Third Miss had this idea in mind, there was no reason for her to take the initiative to find the old lady and the second lady to talk to them. She could only work hard behind the scenes. Although she could stop them for a while, she couldn't stop them forever. However, she was unintentional and kept a close eye on them. We only have one way in and out, so the progress was slow. Madam, please give us some more time."

Mrs. Xing shook off Yingchun's hand heavily and said, "Give you some time. It's easy for you to say that. Who can..." Grandmother Jia still hoped to make this marriage happen, so she asked Zhang Yunyi for help.

With the pressure from Lady Jia, Jia She was also pressing for his life, but there was no need to say these words to Yingchun and her servants. She stopped talking, took a deep breath and said, "You guys tell me how to deal with it!"

"I discussed this with the young lady yesterday. As soon as Master Yi entered the garden, the third young lady pestered him to tell stories, and she stared at us. We could only ask someone else to pass a message to Master Yi..."

Seeing that she had been fooled, Siqi quickly told the whole matter of finding Yuanyang as external aid.

After hearing this, Mrs. Xing couldn't help but complain: "At the beginning, I said that you should live in the thatched cottage, but the old lady..."

At this point, she remembered that it was inappropriate to make up stories about Lady Jia in front of the two of them, so she quickly stopped talking.

He then pondered and said, "Yuanyang is the old lady's household after all. If you go there, not only will it be hard to convince her, but it will also arouse suspicion. It would be simpler for me to go directly to the old lady and follow your explanation."

Seeing that they had finally gotten away with it, Yingchun and her servant couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Xing did not delay and rushed to Rongqingtang without stopping.

Although Grandmother Jia didn't know why she came, she wanted to ask about the progress of the marriage, so she sent away the irrelevant servants.

Mrs. Xing was thoughtful and deliberately kept Yuanyang. After the others left, she told Lady Jia her purpose of visit.

Seeing that Grandmother Jia did not make any comment, she continued, "The second girl has always been soft-tempered, and Siqi has a hot temper. I think that Yi'er's family business needs a steady person to manage it..."

Yuanyang, who was standing by, blushed unconsciously. She had never expected that what she had been longing for could come so easily.

Mrs. Xing had already received information from Siqi and also noticed her expression.

I thought that after so much preparation and Yuanyang's willingness, Grandmother Jia would not be reluctant to give up a maid.

Unexpectedly, the result was beyond their expectations.

But Grandmother Jia shook her head and said, "Others can do it, but Yuanyang can't!"

When Mrs. Xing heard this, she immediately became anxious: "I see Yuanyang has no objection, why don't you..."

Before she could finish, Grandmother Jia raised her hand to interrupt her and said, "If Brother Yi has a lot of assets, then how can Prince Ning's Mansion not have some? Moreover, Prince Ning is the heir to the throne, so there must be a lot of imperial edicts coming and going in the mansion. If the eldest lady doesn't have a steady man by her side, won't people laugh at us?"

"This..." Mrs. Xing and Yuanyang were stunned at the same time.

Unlike Yuanyang who was frightened and at a loss, Mrs. Xing became increasingly indignant at Lady Jia's favoritism.

At the same time, he became more convinced of Siqi's suggestion that something unexpected was going on, and he did not dare to tell Tanchun about her little thoughts.

She stood up and said goodbye, "What the old lady said is very true. I will go back and discuss it with the master!"
