The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 278 Who Are You?
"I see your granddaughter is becoming more and more capable. Does she think that she dares to argue with me because she has your support?"

While Zhang Yunyi was holding a banquet at home, Mrs. Xing did not dare to sit idle.

Because she didn't know when Jia Lian would host a banquet for Zhang Yun逸, she learned from her mistakes and after discussing with Jia She, she began to make arrangements.

But I didn't expect to hit a snag right at the beginning.

Naturally, Siqi didn't dare to really argue with her, but she kept talking about Yingchun's reputation, which made Mrs. Xing very angry, so she had to vent it to Wang Shanbao, the housekeeper.

"Madam, calm down! This girl is also loyal and considerate of the young lady."

"She's thinking about the girl, so I don't have good intentions?"

Madam Xing put her hands on her hips and panted, "Even if she doesn't want to, there are plenty of people willing to do it! This is not just my idea, it's also the master's idea. I'll give you two days. If she still can't change her mind, you guys can't work in the mansion anymore!"

Madam Xing is not as reliable as Madam Wang. She has only a few confidants around her. Although some of the maids around Yingchun are very reliable, they are not as reliable as Wang Shanbao's granddaughter.

She thought that Zhang Yunyi's family would hold a banquet for three days, and she had to wait until the affairs at home were settled before she could keep the appointment, so she gave Wang Shanbao two days.

"Yes, yes, yes! Don't worry, Madam. I will go find my daughter right away and make sure she will be obedient and listen to your instructions!"

"Go to the master and call Qin Gui back. If you can't do it, don't come back!"

Wang Shanbao's wife responded without hesitation and hurriedly retreated.

After calling Qin Gui and going to Siqi's house, he told her what happened, then he sighed, "Why can't this child change his mind? You must persuade her. She is the maidservant of the young lady, and she helped to cover up this scandal. When she arrives at the East Palace, will she be spared a concubine?"

The more she spoke, the more depressed she became. She was angry at her lack of protest and said, "But she is so stubborn. She said in front of the Madam that as long as she is here, there will be no chance for anyone to ruin the girl's reputation. She would rather not be a maid. Tell me, isn't she a fool?"

"Humph!" Wang snorted coldly, "She is not stupid at all, she is really calculating!"

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Wang could see a little about Siqi's thoughts.

She disliked her sister-in-law who married into the Pan family. She hated the whole family and had many complaints about her nephew Pan Youan.

Although Yingchun is not favored and is a concubine's daughter, she is still the daughter of the Duke's Mansion after all.

As her eldest maid, Siqi had to marry with her, and at the very least she would be a maidservant in the same room.

How could he be willing to ruin his bright future just because of this nephew whom he disliked?

It was like this before, but now that she knew that Jia She and Mrs. Xing were planning to let Yingchun marry Zhang Yun逸, things were out of control.

After hearing what Wang Shanbao said, he immediately understood his daughter's plan.

He directed Qin Gui, who had just returned, at him, "Go! Go and call your sister and nephew over to me now!"

"This... We are talking about our daughter. What's the point of calling them here?"

"Bang!" Wang slammed the table. "What's the use? Call them over and I'll explain it to you!"

Although Mrs. Xing was not well-liked, she was still the eldest wife after all.

Among the three brothers of the Qin family, Qin Zhixiao followed Jia Min and married into the Lin family in his early years, changed his name to Lin Zhixiao, and just returned.

There were only him and his younger brother Qin Xian in the Rong Mansion, one in the first wife's house and the other in the second wife's house.

Although Jia She was not as favored by Lady Jia as Jia Zheng, he was considered a prominent figure in the first house because of his relationship with her family, Wang.

On the other hand, although his younger brother Qin Xian was employed by the second wife, the woman in the family could only do hard work such as night watch.

He couldn't help but be humble in front of his daughter-in-law. Seeing Wang getting angry, he didn't dare to ask more questions and quickly turned around to go to Pan's house.

Earlier, Wang married into the Qin family, and the younger sister of the Qin family had not yet married. Seeing Wang bossing her brother Qin Gui around, Wang felt indignant, and after a dispute, they began to dislike each other.

However, all this changed when she heard that Jia She intended to let Yingchun marry Zhang Yun逸.

The situation is stronger than the person. If Yingchun marries far away, although Siqi's status will rise, she may not be able to get the Rong Mansion.

But Zhang Yun逸 was quite different. Not only was he close to the emperor, but even Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang relied on him greatly. Even the powerful and influential Second Wife received many favors from him.

As an aunt, she knew her niece very well. She was good-looking and had a good figure, and she had the maid Xiangling as a role model.

I also had to be careful with my sister-in-law who I had always treated coldly.

"Why are you here, brother? What's the matter?"

Seeing Qin Gui coming, he greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Your sister-in-law asked me to ask you and You'an to go over there!"

Qin Gui had no idea what Wang was up to, so he had to fool her first.

Hearing that it was her sister-in-law Wang who took the initiative to invite her, Pan Qin immediately smiled and said, "Oh! It's my fault. I haven't visited you for a few days, and you missed me."

While instructing Pan Youan to greet Qin Gui, she went back to her room, found some decent fabrics, and put them in her bag.

"Why did you ask the child to come over? Could it be that sister-in-law knew that my sister had troubled my brother a while ago and assigned Youan a task?"

Back in the main hall, Pan Qinshi hinted, "I heard that the emperor conferred a title on Master Yi of the East Palace yesterday. My brother and sister-in-law have cultivated for eight lifetimes. When the second young lady marries him in the future, with Siqi's looks and figure, she will definitely become his concubine..."

Listening to his sister chattering, Qin Gui didn't know where to start, so he could only urge her, "Hurry up! Don't make your sister-in-law wait anxiously!"

"Hey!"

Pan Qin agreed, grabbed her son Pan Youan, and said, "When you see your aunt later, remember to be tactful and don't be so smug! When your cousin follows the second girl to marry into the East Palace, tell her to talk to Master Yi and get you a new job!"

Pan Youan nodded timidly and hurriedly like a chick eating rice.

Follow Qin Gui and Pan Qinshi all the way to Siqi's house.

As soon as she entered the room, Pan Qinshi smiled at Wangshi and said, "Sister-in-law! I got some materials a while ago. I wonder if you like them..."

When Wang heard the noise, she stood at the door of the main hall with her hands on her hips, ignoring the smiling Pan Qinshi and angrily yelling at Pan Youan behind her, "Who do you think you are? How dare you snatch a woman from Master Yi!"

After Wang Shanbao's explanation, Qin Gui suddenly understood what was going on and was stunned for a moment.

Pan Qinshi originally thought that her recent attempts at courtesy had finally paid off, but she didn't expect to be met with a show of force as soon as she entered the door.

Thinking of the seriousness of the crime, her body began to tremble as if sieved.

"Sister-in-law...Sister-in-law, don't say anything careless...How dare Youan say to Yi...Uncle Yi..."

Although she knew that Siqi was close to her son, they were cousins ​​after all, and Siqi was Yingchun's maid, so she would definitely be included in the dowry in the future.

She couldn't believe that her timid son would cause such a big disaster.

But Wang's attitude didn't seem to be groundless. She couldn't help but look at her son who was timid behind her: "Hurry up and tell me! What's going on?"

Her words awakened the man from his dream. Pan Youan, who was pale, immediately fell to his knees with a plop and said in a trembling voice: "Aunt, please understand! This is absolutely not true. Who is my nephew? How dare I compete with Master Yi...Master Yi..."
