The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 261: A Funeral Where No One Grieves (Part )
Because the deaths of Jia Jing and Jia Zhen happened suddenly and there was no preparation in advance, it took a whole day to prepare all matters and announce the death.

Apart from the nearby Jia family, today was the only day when outsiders came to visit.

The Ning Mansion is now in a state of decline. Lady Jia is of a higher generation, and the funeral has just been arranged. So the women from the Rong Mansion plan to come the next day to ensure that the Ning Mansion will not be unable to take care of it.

Unlike Wang Xifeng, who was invited by Zhang Yun逸 and came under the pretext of helping with the funeral ceremonies.

This time, Li Wan took the risk and did not care about arousing suspicion. She took the initiative to come early under the pretext of caring about Youshi and taking care of Jia Lan.

Originally, although she lived a secluded life and rarely went out, it was inconvenient for her to find an excuse to go to Ning Mansion, but she still had a thought in the end.

Now, with Jia Zhen's death, the title of Ning Mansion has come to an end, and the Ningguo Mansion built by imperial decree will probably be taken back by the court. Zhang Yun逸 is afraid that he will never be able to live in it again.

When she thought of this, she regretted that she had been too cautious and did not take advantage of the opportunity to find more comfort.

It's too late now, and the only thing I can do is to make up for it and eat as much as I can at once during the funeral.

However, although she arrived at Ning Mansion in the morning, Zhang Yunyi was intercepted by Wang Xifeng early in the morning, and then she was busy entertaining guests. She didn't have a chance to chat until the banquet started in the evening.

At this moment, seeing Zhang Yun逸 coming to the table, his heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

She glanced guiltily at the people at the table and found that they were all looking at Zhang Yunyi, who was in command, with burning eyes.

So he looked over boldly.

Coincidentally, Zhang Yunyi also looked at her. As the two looked at each other, Li Wan's breathing became rapid.

Seeing Zhang Yunyi nodded slightly, she lowered her head guiltily.

After seeing him say a few more words, she turned and left.

She hesitated for a moment, then told Suyun beside her, "I'll be back after I get some fresh air!"

After saying that, he chased after him.

Sure enough, when he went out, he saw Zhang Yunyi standing in the yard, instructing a maid about something.

As she was hesitating, she saw Zhang Yunyi waving at her, so she gritted her teeth and walked over.

"Sister-in-law has been busy all day. If you feel tired later, let Aunt Zhang take you to Sister-in-law's room to rest for a while before going back."

Zhang Yunyi naturally saw through Li Wan's intention early on.

However, he did not share Li Wan's worries.

Furthermore, although Wang Xifeng learned a set of health-preserving methods from Zhen Shiyin and was quite effective, it could only be considered an appetizer, but Li Wan's feast was quite substantial.

He did not dare to slack off at all. In order to avoid neglecting the care, he took a short nap after lunch and dawdled until now.

"This is my old nanny. If you have any requests, just tell her."

Knowing Li Wan's worries, he specially called the old nanny from the Zhang family.

Hearing that it was the old man from the Zhang family, Li Wan felt relieved, but still didn't dare to speak, so she just nodded slightly.

Zhang Yunyi didn't have her concerns and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, go and fill your stomach first, so you don't run out of strength later."

When Li Wan heard that she had no strength left, her cheeks turned red and she dared not raise her head.

Upon hearing this, Nanny Zhang glanced at Zhang Yunyi and saw that he winked at her. She hurried forward to support Li Wan and walked her to the flower hall, saying, "Then I will wait for grandma outside. When grandma comes out later, she will be able to see me."

Li Wan was sent to the flower hall by Nanny Zhang. Her mind was full of sad thoughts and she had no appetite for food.

However, although Lady Jia, Mrs. Wang and others did not come today, many of the aunts and uncles from the side branches of the Jia family were here.

Although she was frustrated in the Rong Mansion, in the eyes of these people, she was a real favorite.

They had to come up and smile and toast her, so she had no choice but to be patient and deal with them one by one.

Finally, after three rounds of drinking, she instructed Suyun, "You go up front and keep an eye on my brother. Don't let him be instigated by others to drink too much. Take him back after dinner, and don't come to see me again. I won't go back at night and will stay here with my sister-in-law." The women of Rong Mansion did not come because they were worried about causing trouble here, but the men, from Jia She, Jia Zheng to Jia Lan, all came to help.

It was precisely because of this that Li Wan asked to be accompanied with confidence.

"How can this be possible?" Suyun was shocked.

"Why not? Lan'er's matter was solved thanks to my sister-in-law's help. I can't help with anything else. Now that such a big thing has happened in her family, how can I stay out of it? Even the old lady and the mistress can't find any reason. I will take responsibility for anything that happens."

The funeral at the Ning Mansion would only last seven days, not to mention that Lady Jia and Lady Wang would be present tomorrow, so she would have to accompany them.

Just say that she arrived early, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to speak later.

Seeing her firm words, Suyun did not dare to say anything more and had to obey her order and rush to the front yard.

Li Wan ate a few more bites, then found an excuse to go see Youshi and left the table.

As soon as they got out of the door, Aunt Zhang immediately greeted them with a smile, "Master, I'm afraid you must be waiting anxiously. Please follow me, Grandma!"

Even though Li Wan had already made up her mind and was determined to go for it, she couldn't help but feel shy when she heard this.

Last time at least Youshi covered it up for him, but this time he was openly arrested and was led forward by someone.

She lowered her head and followed Nanny Zhang step by step like a puppet.

It was dinner time, and apart from a few servants passing by occasionally, I didn't run into anyone.

When they arrived at Youshi's courtyard, Nanny Zhang pushed open the door and turned around and said, "I'll take you here. Grandma, please go in by yourself!"

After saying that, he walked away.

Li Wan raised her blushing eyes and saw Zhang Yunyi in the room.

She didn't care whether Nanny Zhang had gone far away or not, she threw herself at her like a young swallow, and then, like a nimble snake wrapping around a stick, she followed Zhang Yunyi's body and wrapped around him.

Afterwards, the two of them never separated again, and like conjoined twins, they staggered and pushed open the door to the inner room.

……

After struggling for more than half an hour, Li Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief and curled up in Zhang Yunyi's arms.

She leaned her face against Zhang Yunyi's chest, raised her blurry eyes, and complained in a rough voice: "How long has it been since anyone slept in this bed? Why is it hard in one part and soft in another?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Zhang Yunyi was almost choked to death by the spit.

This was the place where the two of them first met, so he chose this place on purpose.

But I forgot that last night I dragged Youshi here to act out the role of a widow.

Because Youshi had to go to keep vigil, she didn't have time to tell the servants to clean up. In addition, most of the servants had their own chores and no one paid attention to this.

So much so that traces of last night were left behind.

However, Li Wan was just asking casually. Even Wang Xifeng did not dislike the dark and damp cave. How could Li Wan, who was very hungry, be so pretentious just because of some dirt on the bed sheets?

Zhang Yunyi's coughs made her heart flutter again.

Unconsciously, she slipped from Zhang Yunyi's arms, lay in front of him, raised her head and said, "I'm not going home tonight!"

Without waiting for Zhang Yunyi to respond, he leaned down.
