The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 28 Persuasion
Tianxiang Tower.

As soon as Youshi entered the room, Qin Keqing fell to her knees with a plop.

"Madam, save me!"

Anyway, Youshi knew the truth very well, and Qin Keqing didn't want to deceive herself.

"Get up, what happened?"

As Youshi went forward to pull him, she thought to herself, could it be that seeing that the Spring Equinox was approaching, Jia Zhen couldn't wait any longer and came to the door without waiting for the two maids to send him away?

Qin Keqing did not stand up, but complained and cried, "Since I came into the mansion, I have been very cautious and treading on thin ice. Madam also treated me like her own daughter. Last year, the rumors made Madam lose face. I am ready to die. But the heavens do not grant my wishes. If I continue to live, I may cause a disaster. I have no choice but to ask my mother-in-law for help."

This undoubtedly brought the ugly truth to light, and Youshi could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb.

However, her mentality has changed now, and she is too lazy to care about Jia Zhen's troubles. As long as it does not interfere with her and Zhang Yun逸, it doesn't matter whether Jia Zhen has an affair with her or not.

Of course, it was fine to just think about it in my heart, but I couldn't say it out loud, so I sighed, "I really want to help you, but you know, I can't say anything. The last time the master came back home, I just mentioned Jiao Da in the car, and he almost kicked me to death."

"Ah!~" Qin Keqing screamed, her body went limp, she could no longer kneel, and collapsed on her legs.

Youshi took the opportunity to say, "It's not that I don't want to help you. I originally wanted to get Jiao Da back in front of the master, but who would have thought that he would be the first to complain and turn the tables, saying that Jiao Da slandered him..."

In the end, he still couldn't bear it, so he didn't say the word "stealing". He paused and said, "Even if I report it to Grandpa now, I'm afraid he will just treat it as a rumor. If it weren't for my cousin's protection, he would have taken my life at that time."

Her original intention was to tell Qin Keqing that she could do nothing to help and could not even protect herself.

Unexpectedly, Qin Keqing grasped the key point. She looked up suddenly and asked, "Madam, are you saying that uncle was also there?"

"It happened on the seventh day of the first lunar month!"

Qin Keqing no longer had any doubts, and bowed down, saying, "Please help me, Madam!"

"I've already said it, it's not that I don't want to..."

"Since my uncle can protect my wife, I think he can also help my daughter-in-law."

Qin Keqing felt mixed emotions. She didn't expect that Zhang Yunyi had already heard those rumors.

At this moment, thinking back to the fact that he had been staying indoors for a while, there was another layer of speculation.

I'm afraid it's because I've heard the rumors that I'm trying to avoid suspicion. It's ridiculous that I'm still petty-minded and worried about being in trouble.

Youshi secretly groaned and thought, how can I be the same as you?

But now that it was said, she couldn't refuse, so she could only evade the question, "You know, my wife, that Grandpa had already decided to send Baozhu and Ruizhu to serve. As the saying goes, a gift from an elder cannot be refused. He had been dragging his feet before, and the master urged him again and again a while ago, so he had no choice but to reluctantly agree. Let's talk about it after he's done with this busy period."

The Spring Equinox was approaching, and the two maids could no longer delay and took this opportunity to talk things out.

Firstly, it was to give a heads up in advance, and secondly, it was to tell Qin that it was not that I would not help, but that I had already helped.

Qin Keqing had no idea what was going on here. Thinking back to the instructions she had given to the two maids, she suddenly felt ashamed.

She kowtowed heavily and said in a sad voice, "Please ask my uncle to help me. If my uncle is unable to help me, it is my fate and I have no complaints."

I originally thought that Youshi was so attentive to Zhang Yun逸 because of Jia Zhen's instructions, but now I think about it, I am afraid that she was also grateful.

Otherwise why would we get up early and go to bed late?
At this point, It would be inconvenient for Youshi to refuse, otherwise it would be like she was overstepping her authority.

"Forget it! I'll pass on a message for you. How do you want him to help you?"

Qin Keqing and Ruizhu both breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Youshi had given in, but Baozhu on the side regretted it. She thought she could gain a chance of survival, but she ended up shooting herself in the foot.

Originally, as long as she did nothing, she could go to Zhang Yunyi safely, but now she only has a half chance.

Do not!
Since Jia Zhen is involved in this matter, I'm afraid he would like to transfer Ruizhu away.

Qin Keqing had thought of this too.

Therefore, in order to avoid alienation between master and servant, she did not specify whether to stay or go, and it would be better for Jia Zhen to play the villain.

Hearing that there were two maids, one on each side, Youshi felt very unhappy.

If Zhang Yun逸 heard the news and tried to stop it, Jia Zhen could not blame her. However, if something went wrong with the maid, she would inevitably be blamed.

However, since Qin was asking for help from him, if she was really forced into a corner, she might go to Zhang Yunyi, so he did not dare to hide it.

Only after doing his best to show off his eloquence at night, he poked his head out from under the quilt, wiped his lips and said, "Today my daughter-in-law asked me to ask for help from you, Master."

Hearing Qin Keqing's initiative to ask for help, Zhang Yunyi quickly suppressed the temptation in his heart and said calmly, "What can you help me with?"

Seeing that Zhang Yunyi acted as if nothing had happened, You Shi hurriedly recounted what had happened, and then said, "This matter is his Achilles' heel. If something goes wrong, even if he doesn't dare to confront me, I'm afraid he won't indulge us like this anymore."

As she spoke, she lay on top of Zhang Yunyi and squirmed twice like a worm.

Zhang Yunyi stretched out his hand to hook her chin and said with a smile: "How could I ignore you for something irrelevant?"

When Youshi heard this, she said happily, "Well, I will go and tell her tomorrow."

"Yes!" Zhang Yunyi agreed, but then changed the subject and said, "However, since she has asked us for help, if we can handle it well, it will be more convenient for us to do things in the future."

"Why is that?" Yu asked puzzled.

"Think about it. We were worried that the two maids would come into the house and hinder us. Now that she needs our help, she will naturally help cover it up. Didn't you say that Ruizhu has been interfering several times? After all, she was brought into the mansion, so it's inevitable that she will be loyal to her old master. It would be bad if she harbored resentment because of this."

"But he has tacitly approved our relationship, so why would he care about two maids?"

"You also said that he acquiesced, so why did I keep it from him?"

"Why?"

Zhang Yunyi persuaded him kindly, "For you, I certainly won't care about those material possessions, but I don't think he is easily satisfied. I'm afraid that after he finds out, he will find our weaknesses and force us to do something illegal. If something happens, he will push us out. Let alone a long-term relationship, I'm afraid we won't even be able to be a pair of miserable lovers."

"What should we do?"

These words really touched Youshi's heart. Given Jia Zhen's personality, he would change his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. She was a little panicked for a moment.

"Isn't the solution right in front of you now?" Zhang Yunyi said with a smile, "Go back and tell him that I heard that these two maids were from my nephew's wife, so I wanted to refuse, but you used so much persuasion to finally make me agree. I will accept the indenture for now and leave one for my nephew's wife. When she chooses a new replacement, you can send the other one."

"Is this okay?"

"How do you know if you don't try?" Zhang Yunyi said with a sly smile, "You have to eat one bite at a time. Now it depends on how my sister-in-law convinces me!"

Upon hearing this, Youshi's pretty face turned red and she got into the quilt again. Little did she know that Zhang Yunyi's mind was full of the issue of gaining both the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law.
