The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 279: The Arm Cannot Twist the Thigh (Additional Chapter )
"How dare you quibble!" Wang coaxed and threatened, "Your cousin has already resigned from the Madam, could it be false?"

Qin Gui, who was standing by, was stunned. Just as he was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of Wang's eyes and immediately swallowed his words back.

Pan Qinshi cried out in injustice: "Sister-in-law! I don't know what's wrong with this girl... You can't wrongly accuse us, You'an!"

As she spoke, she glared at Pan Youan who was kneeling on the ground. The latter immediately kowtowed and said, "Yes! Aunt, my cousin's resignation has nothing to do with my nephew. You can't wrongly accuse a good person!"

"A good man?" Wang sneered and insisted, "Whether he is a good man or not, let's go and tell the master and the mistress!"

This sentence frightened Pan Qinshi. She immediately knelt on the ground, hugged Wang's legs and said, "Sister-in-law, You'an is also your nephew. You can't force him to death!"

Pan Youan's face was already pale, and it lost even more color. He knocked his head against the wall, making a loud banging sound.

"Yes, aunt! My nephew would never dare to commit such a disaster. Even if my cousin really resigned, it is her own business and has nothing to do with my nephew!"

"You...you haven't done anything irreparable wrong, right?"

Wang Shanbao, who was inside the house, suddenly came to the door and spoke.

As soon as she opened her mouth, Pan Youan and his daughter realized that there was someone else in the room. As Mrs. Xing's companions, they just thought that it was Mrs. Xing who instructed them to question her.

She also expressed everyone's greatest concern, and the scene became surprisingly quiet for a moment.

Pan Qinshi turned pale and kicked her son, saying, "You evil creature! You are trying to kill our family!"

"No, no, no! That's absolutely not the case. She's your cousin An, and the second young lady's assistant. Even if I had the guts to do that, I wouldn't dare to do that! I only treat her as my own sister. Maybe she misunderstood. If you don't believe me, you can call her to confront me... It has nothing to do with me!"

Siqi was naturally not one-sidedly enthusiastic about the job. Without Pan Youan's sweet talk, she would not have given up her job as a maid.

But now that something has happened, how can I dare to admit it?

Anyway, even if the two parties confront each other, they can each stick to their own story. Without any evidence, he can only let his friend die rather than himself and put the blame on Siqi.

Seeing that he was going to confront Siqi, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Wang took a deep breath and said, "Let's not confront each other! Regardless of whether what you said is true or false, this matter was caused by you. Even if we don't pursue it, if the master and the mistress find out, will it still be good for you?"

In the past, Wang had reminded Siqi to be cautious, but Siqi had been spoiled by her and was not one to listen.

The mother and daughter often quarreled over this.

Therefore, as soon as Wang Shanbao opened his mouth, she thought that the person who tied the bell should be the one to untie it, so she started with Pan Youan.

As long as Siqi's thoughts are eradicated from the root, the problem can be solved once and for all.

"Don't you think about who you are? What kind of person are you? Master Yi is so important now. Even if the master and the mistress are merciful and willing to let her go, as long as the second young lady marries into the East Mansion, who in this mansion would be so blind as to ask her to marry into the family?"

"Sister-in-law is right! Don't say that Youan doesn't have this idea. Even if he does, I will never allow him to do it!"

Seeing that Wang's tone had softened, Pan Qin also took the opportunity to say, "We are still counting on Siqi to climb up to Master Yi's high position and help us tomorrow! How could she cause trouble for Master Yi..."

"It's best if you can understand! Fortunately, this matter is not out of control yet. When Siqi comes back later, I must make things clear, so as not to implicate the whole family in the future!"

"Sister-in-law is absolutely right!"

Pan Qin kicked her son again and shouted angrily, "Why are you standing there like an idiot? Hurry up and tell your aunt your attitude. Let's not talk about the past or the reasons. Make it clear this time to avoid any misunderstandings. It's best not to meet in the future!"

Pan Youan nodded quickly and agreed.

Wang then turned to her mother and said, "Please ask mother to call that girl back so that she can stop thinking about it and do her job as the madam well."

After her mother left, Wang said to Pan Youan, "I didn't force you to do this. You should know what to say, right?"

Without waiting for Pan Youan to reply, Pan Qinshi hurriedly said, "This child can't speak. I'll have to trouble my sister-in-law to give him some pointers, so that he won't do bad things with good intentions."

Wang had this idea already, so she gave him instructions in person, and Pan Qin also gave him advice from the side.

When Wang Shanbao came back with Siqi, she saw Pan Youan with a broken head in the yard and hurried forward to ask, "Cousin...cousin, what happened?"

Seeing her approaching, Pan Youan quickly took a step back, fell to his knees with a plop, and begged, "Cousin, please, for the sake of our relationship as cousins, spare my life!" "This...where do you get this from?" Si Qi asked Pan Youan, but her eyes were on her mother.

Pan Youan was so frightened that he dared not to blame Wang, and said quickly, "None of my business, aunt! The other day, my uncle found me a job in the academy, but today he came to tell me that the master and the mistress had said that they wanted to take my job away. That's why my mother brought me to ask my aunt for advice, and then I found out that it was my cousin who angered the mistress..."

Siqi was stunned when she heard this.

She had always been troubled by her inability to get rid of her identity as a deputy lady, and Madam Xing happened to make the stupid move of drugging her.

It gave her an excuse to quit.

She was even a little complacent, thinking that Mrs. Xing was bound to win her heart. As long as she argued with reason and refused to obey, Mrs. Xing would definitely worry that something bad would happen to her and would find an excuse to get rid of her.

She didn't suspect that Pan Youan would lie, but she didn't expect that innocent people would be implicated.

At this moment, she finally understood what it meant that the arm was no match for the thigh.

Seeing Siqi in a daze, Pan Youan couldn't help but panic, and quickly pleaded, "Cousin! What kind of person is Master Yi? We are also honored that you can follow the second young lady as a dowry, so don't get carried away!"

"You...what did you say?" Siqi said in disbelief.

"With your character, if you marry the second young lady, Master Yi will surely love you. He is a man who cherishes women. If you are willing to serve him attentively, they will surely live in harmony... Please don't mislead others or yourself!"

When he talked about misleading others and himself, his voice became a little hoarse.

Listening to Pan Youan's unbearable words, Siqi felt dizzy and asked in a trembling voice, "You... do you really want me to marry the young lady?"

"Of course!" Pan Youan straightened his chest unconsciously, "If cousin can serve Master Yi, I will also be honored. At that time, cousin only needs to please Master Yi and persuade him. Not to mention the job in the school, even if it is like the son of Lai Guanjia, asking for an official position, Master Yi may agree!"

It has to be said that no one knows a daughter better than her mother. Every word that Wang taught Pan Youan to say hit Siqi's sore spot.

Even though she had already understood what it meant to be powerless, she still felt disheartened when she heard Pan Youan repeatedly instructing her on how to climb into Zhang Yunyi's bed and curry his favor.

"Now my cousin's future depends on my cousin's decision. For the sake of our relationship, you must give him a hand!"

Wang knew her daughter's character well, so she remained calm and composed. When Pan Qin saw that Siqi didn't say a word, she became a little anxious.

"I'm not saying anything to you, but even if you don't want to help your cousin, don't get us into trouble..."

Siqi was already quite hot-tempered, and Pan Youan's words made her feel like needles piercing her heart. But Pan Qinshi rubbed salt into the wound, blaming her for implicating others.

When she thought about how all her painstaking planning was met with merciless blame, she felt completely disheartened.

He stared blankly at Pan Youan who was kneeling in front of him. He didn't expect him to take any responsibility, but just hoped that he could at least say something to defend himself.

But seeing Pan Youan's avoidant eyes and not daring to look him in the face, he felt bored.

"Forget it!" Before she could continue, Siqi interrupted her with a wave of her hand, "Since you all want me to climb this high branch, then I will do as you wish!"

"Hey! Then we have a deal!"

As if afraid that she would go back on her word, Pan Qinshi emphasized it quickly, then took her son and left.

When he reached the door, he turned back and said cautiously: "When you become successful in the future, it would be best if you could help your cousin!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand and patted Pan Youan on the head.

The latter shrank his neck and said hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes! Cousin, I wish you a son soon, and a mother will be honored by the son, and have many children and grandchildren!"

If it were in the past, Siqi might have thought that this cousin was quite talented.

But now, when I hear these idioms he used, I just feel disgusted.
