The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 289 The rat-throwing weapon
"I guarantee it with my life! He would never dare to do such a thing!"

Although she had cursed Jia She thousands of times in her heart, Grandmother Jia still vowed to vouch for him.

Jia She also knew that the matter had become serious, and hurriedly said, "Yes! If my dear nephew doesn't believe it, I will ask someone to bring the medicine and we will know once we test it!"

"Of course you have to test it, but isn't it a joke for you to go back and get the medicine for testing?"

Zhang Yunyi paused, then turned to Lady Jia and said, "It's not that I don't trust the mansion, but what the eldest master did is really uneasy!"

Grandmother Jia asked tentatively, "Then...then what do you think we should do? How about we call a doctor to come and take a look?"

Zhang Yunyi shook his head and said, "Don't bother me, old lady. You know, my life is not just my own. It is the grace of the late emperor. Naturally, I have to ask the emperor to consult with the Imperial Hospital!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Mu and Jia She felt as if they had lost their parents.

Grandmother Jia said in a trembling voice: "Brother Yi! Let's talk it over. This is not a trivial matter. You must not be impulsive!"

Jia She knelt down and turned around, saying, "Yes! I guarantee with my life that I have absolutely no intention of harming you. Please forgive me for my mistakes..."

Upon hearing that the matter would be brought before the emperor, Jia She was so frightened that he no longer cared about his dignity.

Although Grandmother Jia felt ashamed, she didn't care about these details.

"The old lady is in a serious condition!"

Zhang Yunyi sighed, "We are relatives after all. The reason why I asked the master in advance was because I was worried that something really went wrong and it would get out of control. Since the master has a clear conscience, I am relieved!"

After saying this, he pretended to leave. How could Lady Jia dare to let him go?
He hurriedly said, "No! Don't go! Let's discuss it again!"

Zhang Yunyi stopped and sighed, "I don't want to make a big deal out of it, but we are relatives and live next door to each other, so we have to visit each other. Even if there is nothing wrong with the medicine the master gave me today, how can we guarantee that there won't be such a thing in the future?"

Grandmother Jia cursed in her heart and secretly complained, "If I can't afford to offend you, can't I just avoid you? I'll just stop visiting you in the future."

But, at this moment, how could she say such words?
I could only plead softly: "Brother Yi is easy to talk to, what do you want to make me feel at ease?"

Zhang Yunyi pretended to be in a dilemma, and after a long pause, he sighed, "Forget it! As long as the master signs a written agreement, promising not to drug me again in the future, and the old lady guarantees it, even if I don't believe him, I will definitely not distrust the old lady!"

The reason why he brought up Yingchun before was to dispel Lady Jia's doubts.

If Lady Jia suspected that he had some ulterior motive, then whether she stretched her neck or not, it would be a blow, and it would be better to suffer a short pain than a long one, so she would definitely not agree to leave a written document.

But he acted like he was reluctant to leave Yingchun, which made Lady Jia hesitate.

Once people have a way out, they will inevitably only focus on the present.

Even if this matter was brought to the imperial court, as long as there was no problem with Jia She's medicine, the most that would happen would be that the reputation of the Rong Mansion would be damaged, and then a light punishment would be given.

But now Yuanchun's marriage is still undecided, and he still has the late emperor's soul, so Grandmother Jia can't help but weigh the consequences.

Not to mention that the emperor has changed his mind, just with what happened in Rong Mansion, how can Yuanchun have the face to marry into the royal family again?
Moreover, even if there is no problem with the medicine itself, everything is useless if you ignore the dosage.

The reason why he used Siqi first, and even played with her for so long without any hesitation, was also to create the illusion of overdose.

After all, Siqi's overwhelmed look was there, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell what she had gone through.

Of course, if Lady Jia really refuses to sign a document.

That would inevitably lead to a fall-out, but he didn't mind. When he got back, he would ask Zhen Shiyin to make some medicine that wasn't too harmful to the body, so that he could frame the person and resolve the issue once and for all.

Anyway, the palace gates are now locked, and we can't enter the palace until tomorrow, so there is plenty of time to prepare.

He plotted to murder an official of the imperial court, and he was blessed with the identity of the late emperor's resurrection. Even if Rong Fu was a hero in the founding of the country, he would at least be stripped of his title if he didn't die.

However, these were just his preparations for both situations. He believed that with all the preparations made before, Lady Jia would feel that she had a way out and would not risk the lives and property of the entire family, and would be more likely to compromise.

As long as he gets the written document, he will not kill all the people in the Rong family. From now on, the Rong family will have to be cautious in front of him.

Before this, he had openly made a noise in the side hall of Wang Xifeng's courtyard.

On the one hand, because they knew that Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng would help with the aftermath, they took this opportunity to let the servants in the courtyard adapt in advance. On the other hand, they were certain that Grandmother Jia would be forced to act cautiously under the circumstances.

With the evidence that Jia She drugged him and the document of Jia Mu's guarantee, he doesn't even need to hide it too much in the future.

Of course, if Lady Jia insisted on having her own way, it would be tantamount to tearing off the relationship, and there would be no need to hide anything.

The two ladies in this mansion are now his contraband, but if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet.
It would be fine if it was Jia She, who only cared about money. But if Lady Jia or Jia Zheng heard the news, how could they turn a blind eye?
Originally, he could only try to be cautious and cover it up carefully, but Jia She brought the opportunity to him.

There was no way he would let go of the knife that was handed to him. He did this to prepare for a rainy day and to strike first.

The reason why Lady Jia had to act as a guarantor was also due to this consideration. If it was just Jia She, perhaps the Rong Mansion could still survive, but with Lady Jia acting as a guarantor, it would be difficult for the Second House to sever its ties.

This is why he found Lady Jia.

"I stand! I stand! Bring me some pen and ink!"

Jia She was obviously also worried about being abandoned, and before Lady Jia could express her opinion, he started shouting.

He then got up from the ground and searched the room for pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Pushing too hard may not be a good thing. Seeing that Lady Jia's face was uncertain and she did not express her opinion, Zhang Yun逸 did not say anything either.

When Jia She signed and sealed the written document and handed it to him, he examined it for a moment, handed it to Jia's mother and said, "Don't blame me, old lady! I dare not believe everything the master said, please be my witness!"

At this point, he sighed again and said, "Alas! The eldest master has gone too far. I don't want it to get to this point. After all, the second sister is so innocent. I have already told Siqi that this matter must not affect her. I told Siqi to stay with the second sister and marry her later, so as to avoid any gossip outside!"

He only mentioned the marriage but did not say whether she was his wife or concubine. However, with the previous preparation, Grandmother Jia already had a preconceived idea.

One even suspected that he was worried that Jia She would become greedy and took precautions in advance.

Jia She, who was standing by, turned his worry into joy when he heard this, and urged her repeatedly, "Madam! Even if my son has a thousand faults, he is still a member of the mansion after all. Now that the eldest girl is at a critical juncture, you can't just stand by and watch her die!"

His words were undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"Forget it!" Grandmother Jia sighed, took the document and signed it.

Zhang Yunyi folded it carefully and put it in his arms before saying goodbye: "Since the matter has been settled, I will not disturb the old lady's rest."

At this point, he looked at Jia She and said jokingly, "Master, please don't be so smart. I told you last time that if you are worried, I can return the eight hundred taels of silver I gave to Brother Zhen first!"

"What?" Grandmother Jia almost fainted from anger, but she also felt that family disgrace should not be made public, and she couldn't get angry in front of Zhang Yunyi.

When Jia She and Mrs. Xing saw this, they cried out that something was wrong, lowered their heads, and wanted to run away.

"You two, stop!"

But he was scolded by Lady Jia with just one word.

She then ordered, "Lai Da, you two should see Yi Ge'er off!"

"Yeah!" Lai Da agreed quickly, he knew that Grandmother Jia no longer trusted him.

Fortunately, knowing the inside story, Lady Jia was cautious and would not act rashly, and immediately took away their jobs.

However, precisely because of this, Lai Da became more determined to stand on Zhang Yun逸's side.

After leaving the house, he asked cautiously, "Sir, do you want to go for a stroll somewhere else?"

"No! Let's go back!"

With the soft spot of Rong Mansion in his arms, he naturally had to go back and put it properly.

Besides, he had made up for it by getting it back from Siqi. Although he understood the implication of Lai Da's words, it was impossible for him to create trouble at this time.
