The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 292: After the meeting

"Miss! Miss..."

The secretary rushed into Qiu Shuang Zhai, panting, "I saw Si Qi go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion earlier, and I just went to ask around, and Zijuan said that the second young lady asked for leave and said she would not go there to listen to stories anymore."

Tanchun, who was writing furiously, put away her brush upon hearing the sound, frowned slightly, bit the pen cap lightly, and fell into deep thought.

Shishu asked in confusion, "Miss, this is a good thing, why are you still frowning?"

"call!"

Tanchun let out a long sigh and sighed, "This is not a good thing at all!"

"Why?"

"The eldest master will definitely not give up this marriage easily. Second sister has always been submissive, and with the tacit approval of the old lady, she suddenly stopped getting close to Brother Yi. What else can be the reason?"

"This..." The waiter showed a hint of realization and said concisely, "Miss, you mean that the old lady is interested in Miss Yun, and the second young lady retreated because of the difficulty?"

"Alas! Since the old lady originally had feelings for her, but now has changed her mind, it is not reasonable to allow one man to marry two families. She must first marry the second sister. I am afraid she has already received the order, and this is why she is discouraged."

At this point, Tanchun couldn't help but frown and sighed, "If it was my second sister, I wouldn't have to worry about it, but my sister Yun..."

"Then will this servant still keep an eye on the Second Young Lady?"

"She has already given up, why are you still staring at her?"

"But Miss Yun lives in Hengwu Garden, which is too far away from us..."

"No need! She lives with Sister Bao, so it's not easy for her to be distracted. We have to hurry up and stop this before the Shi family comes to propose marriage!"

"We have no right to talk about this kind of thing. How can we stop it?"

"Let me think about it!" Tanchun's brows were twisted into a "川" shape, she pursed her lips, and bit the pen cap in her mouth into pieces.

……

Inside the Zhuijin Building.

I don’t know if the redness and swelling have not gone away, but Siqi walked into the house gracefully, swaying her already plump buttocks.

"Miss, everything has been arranged! When Master Yi goes to Xiaoxiang Pavilion later, we will go over and wait for him!"

Yingchun looked back and forth and said, "Brother Yi just said that if I give up my job at Zhi Yanzhai, will he think that I am not ambitious?"

Siqi said disapprovingly: "Didn't Master say that he likes young lady's beauty, intelligence, calmness and restraint? Then why should we get involved in those things that attract attention?"

After she said that, Yingchun felt relieved, as if to encourage herself, and said to herself: "Yes! We girls should take care of our husbands and children. What's the point of seeking those empty names?"

She didn't like poetry and writing in the first place, and originally she had to accompany them so that she could take advantage of opportunities. But now that they had already secretly taken over, she naturally didn't bother to join in the fun anymore.

She was a little conflicted at first, but when she heard Siqi say yesterday that Zhang Yunyi asked her to meet him in the evening, she simply said hello and took a long vacation.

In the past, Zhang Yun逸 was still worried about whether Lady Jia would agree to let Yingchun be a concubine. But now, with fatal evidence against the Jia family in his hand, he no longer worries about this.

The emperor had already changed his mind, and he also learned from Zhou Chengru and others that Prince Ning had long given up the idea of ​​marrying Yuanchun.

At most, he would give some time, and wait until Yuanchun's matter was settled before taking Yingchun as a concubine.

Since he was fearless and had broken Yingchun's psychological defenses, it was impossible for him to waste such a gift and leave Yingchun out in the cold.

Although she has not yet reached the age of marriage, Zhang Yun逸 believes that good things are never too late.

But the young lady can't do that. The maid has to do the hard work. Since we have decided to guide her slowly, she must have some time to adapt, right?
Although Yingchun didn't know Zhang Yunyi's ill intentions, the close contact between them that night had already made her unable to control her emotions. When she heard the promise he made in front of Lady Jia, it became even more difficult for her to control herself.

However, the situation was urgent that night and she was at a loss, and now, she couldn't help feeling worried.

"You know, it's late at night, no one will see us, right?" She was not worried about Zhang Yunyi.

After all, even when he was drugged, he still managed to endure it and saved her reputation.

"What are you afraid of? What can you do if you see me? If you dare to talk too much, you will be beaten even if you go to the old lady. Although it was originally ordered by the mistress, it was also the old lady's intention. Now it's just a move, and it's the master's intention. Can you blame the young lady?"

Yingchun thought so too, and then she became worried again: "So what should I wear tonight?"

The outfits that Mrs. Xing dressed in were really too embarrassing, but she could also see that Zhang Yunyi seemed unable to take his eyes off her, so she felt a little conflicted.

"Master said that what the young lady wore that night was very nice! I have asked someone to bring it out. After dinner, the young lady can change into it first."

The master and servant were whispering in the room. After dinner, they saw Zhang Yun逸 carrying a bundle and entering the Xiaoxiang Pavilion from afar. Fang rested for a while, changed his clothes, pretended to digest the food after dinner, passed the Qinfang Pavilion, and disappeared into the depths of the bamboo fence path.

About a quarter of an hour later, Zhang Yun逸, holding a lantern, pushed open the door of Qingtang thatched cottage.

The dim light swayed and projected onto Yingchun's face. Her pair of big watery eyes flickered with fluorescence, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

Zhang Yun逸 leaned his back against the door, fastened the bolt with his backhand, threw the lantern into the corner, made an clapping gesture towards Yingchun, and opened his arms.

Yingchun hesitated for a moment, then threw herself into his arms like a young swallow.

Zhang Yunyi held her in his arms with one hand, stroking her back up and down, and with one hand he held her chin, rubbing his thumb across her bright lower lip, and said with a smile: "Do you miss Brother Yi?"

Yingchun's already rosy face, under the light, looked like a sunset glow.

Her eyelashes fluttered, she didn't dare look him in the eye, but nodded slightly.

Zhang Yunyi hooked his chin with his hand and raised it a little bit, then lowered his head and put the bright cherry in his mouth.

At the same time, both hands became increasingly restless.

Even though she had experienced more exhausting situations than this, Siqi could no longer stay in the room as her breathing became increasingly rapid.

She lowered her head, slowly walked to the lantern, and bent over to blow it out.

In the dim moonlight that came through the window screen into the room, she took two steps towards the door and said in a hoarse voice, "Master and Miss will chat here slowly. I...I will go outside..."

Because the door was blocked, she had to ask for instructions.

Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, Zhang Yunyi pulled him away.

A rebuke sounded in my ears: "Who told you to blow out the lights?"

She didn't know how to answer, but she saw Zhang Yunyi squatting slightly, and Yingchun beside him was already held close to his body by his arm holding her thigh.

Siqi felt her hand tighten, as if she was leading a horse, and her whole body moved involuntarily to the table inside the room.

Zhang Yunyi held Yingchun in his arms and sat her on the table. He then pulled Siqi to his side and pushed her in front of him. When she was leaning against the table, he pressed her against Yingchun and made her lie on the table.

"Ah!~" This scene aroused the fear in Siqi's heart, and she couldn't help but scream out.

"Brother Yi?" Yingchun thought he was complaining about Siqi turning off the lights, so she said softly, "She meant well. She was worried that others would see the light..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Yunyi raised his hand to cover his mouth.

In the dim light, only Zhang Yunyi's bewitching voice could be heard: "Second sister is naturally beautiful, and it is hard for Brother Yi to restrain his emotions. You don't want Brother Yi to feel too miserable, do you?"

Although Yingchun didn't understand what he meant, when she heard him say that it was hard work, she nodded obediently.

Zhang Yunyi then took a small step forward, came behind Siqi, and hugged Yingchun diagonally in front of him.
