The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 29 True Feelings
The Spring Equinox.

Jia Zhen could no longer hold back and urged Youshi to send the two maids to Dengxian Pavilion as soon as possible.

Yu Shi followed Zhang Yun逸's instructions, pretended to make a trip, and then turned back to complain to Jia Zhen.

Jia Zhen had no idea that during the past month, not only had his daughter-in-law Youshi rebelled against him, but even his beloved daughter-in-law Qinshi had come to rely on Zhang Yun逸.

He thought to himself that after Zhang Yun逸's refusal, Qin Keqing probably saw through his actions, and if he pushed too hard, it might backfire.

Therefore, he no longer forced her to do so, but only strictly ordered Youshi to transfer Ruizhu away.

Youshi and Zhang Yun逸 didn't care about this, but it just fulfilled Qin Keqing's wish.

Baozhu was the only one who was extremely disappointed, but she couldn't show it. She held Ruizhu's hand and said hesitantly, "If you leave like this, grandma will have to count on you in the future."

"It's not a life-and-death separation. Besides, it's right across the street." Ruizhu comforted.

Qin Keqing had seen through Baozhu's thoughts and consoled her, "Uncle is thoughtful and has taken your indentures with him. Even if something unexpected happens, he will definitely be able to protect you."

Because Youshi frankly admitted that Zhang Yun逸 had refused, she had a preconceived idea.

After she said this, Baozhu felt better. Although she did not escape completely, her indenture was handed over to Zhang Yunyi, and she was legally a maid of the Zhang family. As long as Zhang Yunyi protected her, even if Jia Zhen was dissatisfied, he had no right to punish her.

However, after all, she is not like Ruizhu, who can serve me up close, so there is inevitably a layer of distance between them.

People at Tianxiang Tower were reluctant to say goodbye, and the same was true at Dengxian Pavilion opposite.

"If love lasts forever, it doesn't matter if we are together day and night. Temporary tolerance is for the sake of long-term love in the future. I will help her first and then ask her to keep the secret. I think it will be fine."

Although wives and grandmothers need to be supported, the methods are different.

Although both of them were forced by Jia Zhen, their situations were very different.

Yu Shi was worried because Jia Zhen had become obsessed with his daughter-in-law, which led to the rift between the couple and the alienation between them. As long as she stood up and protected her, she would be able to rely on him.

With the cooperation of Jia Zhen, it became so simple.

However, Qin Keqing was worried about the damage to her reputation, and she was already a frightened bird. If she used Youshi's method to deal with it, it would only backfire and make the cooked duck fly away.

Since she asked me for help, it was obvious that she had a good sense. I might as well go with the flow, establish this character, and then work on it slowly.

This was also the reason why he appeased Youshi and temporarily stopped the war.

If Qin Keqing knew that I had an affair with Youshi, she would probably not only no longer trust me, but would also be on guard against me everywhere.

"But how long will this take?"

It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Youshi didn't notice it before, but now, when she thinks about being alone in her empty room, she suddenly feels bored.

"It's okay. The weather is getting warmer. I guess it's about time for the mosquitoes to be gone by the time summer comes."

There are always more solutions than problems. It seems that in addition to morning exercises, I have to add a night run.

Your health is your capital, and it’s worth it no matter how hard it is.

Yu Shi didn't understand at first, but when she saw him smiling, she suddenly realized.

Although it is not as convenient as living indoors, it is better than having no place to stay.

"Master Yi!"

Ruizhu came to Dengxian Pavilion with two bags, accompanied by Baozhu. Qin Keqing did not enter the building to avoid suspicion.

Zhang Yunyi nodded slightly to Qin Keqing outside the room and ordered, "There are two empty rooms downstairs. Choose one for yourself!"

Although it was common for men in ancient times to take maids into their rooms, since Qin Keqing had to be portrayed as a gentleman, she couldn't be too greedy.

Anyway, the indentures were in her hands, it was only a matter of time. Yu Shi was particularly relieved when she heard this. Zhang Yunyi was indeed not as heartless and ungrateful as Jia Zhen, who loved the new and disliked the old. He actually did not allow such a young and outstanding maid to serve in the house.

"Let's go! Let's take a look inside. Everything is ready."

She acted like a hostess and pushed open the doors on both sides of the main hall.

Ruizhu had no objection to this and chose a room near the stairs and said, "I'll stay in this room! If the master has any instructions at night, it will be more convenient to go upstairs."

When Qin Keqing, who was outside the house, saw Zhang Yunyi's arrangements, the last bit of her worry disappeared.

Although Jia Jing had said before that he entered the house only to be her concubine, she was after all her personal maid. If she was taken in as soon as she entered the house, it would definitely lead to gossip.

What's more, Baozhu is now Zhang Yunyi's maid, but she is kept by his side to serve him, which is bound to arouse people's speculation.

She bowed deeply to Zhang Yunyi and said with a double meaning, "I'll have to trouble you from now on, uncle!"

"Well!" Zhang Yunyi said meaningfully, "I don't have anything to do here. If you need help, just call her over."

These words undoubtedly gave Qin Keqing a reassurance. Her charming face flashed with a gleam of light, making her even more captivating.

She bowed deeply again: "Then I won't bother you, uncle!"

Hearing Qin Keqing's farewell, Baozhu glanced at Ruizhu, pursed her lips, turned to Zhang Yunyi, and saluted, saying, "Master, I will go back with Grandma first."

Seeing Zhang Yunyi nod slightly, she reluctantly came behind Qin Keqing.

She secretly calculated in her heart that although Master Yi had been used to a hard life, as a maid she should also be more proactive. If it were her, she would at least suggest putting a small bed outside the house so that Master would have no one to serve him when he got up at night.

Accompanying Qin Keqing back to Tianxiang Tower, she suggested: "Grandma, do you want me to remind Ruizhu tomorrow? She is the only one in Master Yi's room right now. It's impossible for Master Yi to get up at night and light the lamp in the dark, right? Besides... Grandma will have to rely on Master Yi in the future, so we should go while no one is in the room..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Qin Keqing hurriedly stopped him, "Uncle, this is the safest way to go, don't give me any rash advice!"

"Why is this?" Baozhu asked puzzled.

"This..." Qin Keqing's face flushed, and she said in a trembling voice, "You...you have all followed me for many years and have been serving me closely. You must know all the girls' private matters. It is the most difficult to keep secrets in bed. How can you avoid suspicion?"

By this time, her face was flushed and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's.

Originally, she could never say these words.

However, on the one hand, she saw what Baozhu was thinking, and was afraid that she would act on her own and instigate Ruizhu to do something frivolous; on the other hand, there was something that she was too embarrassed to say, so she was both explaining and reminding Baozhu.

"I think my uncle had the same consideration, so he let Ruizhu live downstairs."

"But we can't let you suffer because of this, can we?" Baozhu said disapprovingly, "After all, you are a guest in the mansion, and it is rare for you to be willing to help. We can't..."

Although she was already a maid in the Zhang family, she could not say anything vicious to her former master Qin Keqing, and could only swallow back the words "ungrateful".

"Yes! Although my uncle is considerate, I shouldn't be so ungrateful and only care about myself." She naturally heard the implication of Baozhu's words and murmured, "Go and talk to Ruizhu after a while!"

Baozhu immediately knelt down and said, "Grandma! That's not what I meant!"

"It's okay! Although you have been with me since you were a child, you are now on my uncle's side. It is only natural for you to consider your uncle."

Qin Keqing looked at Baozhu and comforted her, "Don't worry. When uncle takes action and tells the matter to Grandpa, I won't keep you in custody. But you must keep the matter a secret, otherwise I will not be able to live."

Hearing this, Baozhu burst into tears and said from the bottom of her heart: "Don't worry, grandma! In fact, I can't bear to leave you either!"

The master and servant hugged each other and cried.
