The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 253: Personal experience
"Since you like this girl, why didn't you take her into your room just now?"

Just as she stepped out of the door, she heard the voice of You Erjie coming from inside the house, and Qingwen couldn't help but slow down her pace.

"Don't talk about you and Third Sister, ask Ruizhu, has Master ever forced anyone?"

"When I was sent here, there was no one in the master's room! He put me downstairs and kept me there for nearly a month. It was only when I saw Xiangling come in to serve me..."

After hearing this, Qingwen felt mixed emotions.

She was originally raised as a maid, so she was not completely ignorant about matters between men and women.

The frightening noise last night and the twitch on her face just now made her afraid of Zhang Yunyi.

With Ruizhu's words, she felt a lot more at ease.

However, Ruizhu only said half of the words because of Qin Keqing's consideration, which made her think that Ruizhu climbed onto Zhang Yunyi's bed on her own initiative, and he reluctantly accepted her into his room.

There was no way she could climb onto Zhang Yunyi's bed like that.

But Zhang Yunyi obviously intended to take her as his concubine, and the two concubines made suggestions one after another. If it were any other maid, she would probably be more than happy to do so.

But she remains unmoved. Doesn't this make people think she is spoiled?

Although she thinks highly of herself, she is not a fool and knows that this place is different from the Rong Mansion.

In the Rong Mansion, with the support of the great man, she only needs to do her job well.

And here, Lai Da is still counting on her to climb up the social ladder so that he can say good things for them. How can she still count on that?

Although he knew that the Lai family treated her as a rare commodity, he still sent her back and forth.

But after all, it was done to save her from a dire situation. Otherwise, a weak woman like her, who is pretty and helpless, would have had her fate predicted if she had been left wandering outside.

After experiencing what happened last night, she was quite satisfied and a little grateful about being given to Zhang Yunyi this time.

However, as she was in Rong Mansion, she did not help the Lai family do anything to let down Rong Mansion. She knew very well in her heart where the foundation of her life was.

Moreover, we can see the big picture from the small details. Last night, You Sanjie, a concubine with a title and status, tried hard to persuade her, but it was just a maid's fate, which was a trivial matter of no consequence.

Even Zhang Yunyi was unmoved, so how could a nameless and insignificant maid like me, who had just come in, influence him?

Thinking about all these things, I pushed open the storage room downstairs.

Looking at the silks and satins piled everywhere, especially some pieces of Shu brocade and Suzhou embroidery scattered everywhere, she couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

I quickly shook off my chaotic thoughts and went in to clean up.

After choosing two pieces of light and breathable fabrics, she hesitantly took out a piece of ordinary opaque silk.

She didn't want to climb into Zhang Yunyi's bed on her own initiative, but she couldn't just sit and wait for him to lose control, so she had no choice but to accept You Erjie's suggestion, which was at least a small expression of her feelings.

Of course, she was very accomplished in needlework. Although she only caught a glimpse just now, she also saw the lace on the hem of You Erjie's skirt.

However, You Erjie did not put much effort into matching the materials, and did not make the best use of their strengths to overcome their weaknesses.

It just so happened that Zhang Yun逸 had some leftover fabrics from making shorts, one light and one dark, which made for an interesting contrast.

She was afraid that someone would notice her little trick, so she looked around at the door while holding the three pieces of cloth. After making sure that there was no one downstairs, she took two steps at a time and trotted towards her room.

When she reached the door, a figure suddenly rushed in and bumped into her.

She didn't have time to yell and hugged the material tightly in her arms.

"Hey! Qingwen? Why are you here?"

Before she could check whether the material in her hand was wrinkled somewhere, the person opposite her exclaimed in surprise.

She raised her head following the sound and saw Jin Chuan opposite her, staring at the fabric in her arms with a curious look on her face.

"Did the master ask you to come and make clothes for the child?"

Qingwen looked down at the fabric in her hand and replied, "No... no, the old lady said that the master's room was short of people to serve, so she asked me to come over."

"How soon? I came here yesterday and I didn't see you."

As Qingwen walked around Jinchuan and headed towards the room, she said, "Butler Lai sent me here last night." The two of them were in the Rong Mansion, belonging to the Wang family and the old servant family respectively, and they didn't have much friendship to speak of.

I thought that if I said hello, Jin Chuan would stop bothering me.

Unexpectedly, he not only chased me into the house, but also pursed his lips and looked me up and down.

After watching for a while, Jin Chuan seemed to be relieved and said with a smile: "It is a blessing for you to be able to come and follow me."

After she finished speaking, she paused, and then said meaningfully: "It will also prevent someone from targeting you in the future, or from kicking you out if someone dislikes you."

The three words "drive out" just hit Qingwen's sore spot.

Although it was announced to the outside world that Zhang Yunyi was short of people, Lai Da did not hide the truth from her. Just because of the fictitious Peach Blossom Evil, she was abandoned.

She couldn't help but choke: "What do you mean!"

Jin Chuan didn't seem to notice her dissatisfaction, and sneered, "What else could it mean? If someone really has this idea, no matter who it is, Master Bao can't protect you!"

After she said this, Qingwen lowered her head unconsciously.

When Mrs. Wang ordered her to go back to her room to pack up, Jia Baoyu was still crying and wailing, but after she had packed up and came out, and until she followed Mrs. Wang and left the Yihong Courtyard, there was no more sound from him.

"I'm just a maid. I serve wherever I go and I just follow orders. Why do I need someone to protect me?"

"It's best if you think so!"

Jin Chuan paused for a moment, then said with a playful look, "But seeing how you look, I think the master didn't ask you to come in and serve him yesterday, did he?"

"What...what does this have to do with you?"

Although her words were very dismissive, her tone was somewhat timid, and at the end there was even a hint of inquiry in her words.

Jin Chuan smiled and said, "You have left that place now, so we can be considered as sharing the same fate. I just want to remind you kindly, don't be so blind as to not recognize the value of a precious gem and go after a heartless person!"

The more she spoke, the more indignant she became. She gnashed her teeth and said, "That day, when the Second Madam was still asleep, he saw that I was refusing in every possible way, so he lied to me and said that he would take me back when I woke up. But when the Second Madam wanted to kick me out of the house, he didn't even dare to fart and had already disappeared! Even when Yuchuan went to beg him, he was indifferent. If it weren't for the Master's rescue, not only would I be dead, but even my family would be in trouble!"

Jin Chuan did not feel much resentment towards Mrs. Wang who drove her out of the house.

After all, when she interacted with Aunt Zhao, including instigating Jia Baoyu to go to the East Courtyard, she did have selfish motives.

As Mrs. Wang's personal maid, although this could not be considered betrayal, it was understandable that she was punished.

But he was filled with resentment towards Jia Baoyu, the instigator of the break-of-trust.

Even though she had anticipated this, when Yuchuan returned home from Rong Mansion in a dejected mood, she still found it difficult to suppress the resentment in her heart.

Qingwen had also heard about Jin Chuan's experience, and she had expressed her dissatisfaction with Jia Baoyu's behavior.

However, her situation was different from Jin Chuan's, and she could not fully empathize with her. When faced with her personal experience, she did not know how to respond for a moment.

Just when he was in a dilemma, he heard Ruizhu's voice coming from outside: "Hey! Jinchuan is on duty today, why hasn't she come yet?"

After hearing this, Jin Chuan no longer cared about her and hurriedly slammed the door and shouted, "I'm here! I'm here! I just saw Qingwen and chatted with her for a while. Is the master back?"

"It's almost time! The water has been drawn. Go up and test the temperature!"

Jin Chuan, who had been speaking with resentment just now, seemed to have changed her mind at this moment, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you! Thank you!"

"No way! Xiangling is getting worse now. You need to take care of her more often. It's rare to have the chance."

Although Xiangling was promoted to concubine, Baozhu and Ruizhu had a special relationship with her, so they still called her by her original title.

"Then I'll go up first! Aunt Zhen said last night that the clothes my sister made for my brother were very beautiful!"

Qingwen was confused when she heard the friendly chatter outside about opportunities and water temperature.

However, she had no intention of snooping, so she placed the material on the table and took out the scissors and needle and thread.

However, before she could start cutting, the intense and almost tragic noise from last night rang out again.

Different from the 'squeaking' sound last night, this time it was accompanied by the sound of the waves, which made her face turn red. How could she have the mind to cut?
