The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 310: Tongue-twisting and turmoil (Part )
Some were happy and some were sad. When Yingchun was sad because Zhang Yunyi moved out of the city temporarily, Zijuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That day, while Daiyu was taking a nap at noon, she had nothing to do, so she took a few steamed buns and came to Qinfang Pavilion.

Although Jin Chuan went out of the city with Zhang Yunyi, there was no need to worry about Lin Daiyu being bewitched for the time being.

But it's only temporary...

Moreover, the three meals a day supplied by the kitchenette, the fruits delivered from time to time, and even the Legend of the White Snake that Lin Daiyu often read, have been silently and subtly influencing her.

She stood in the pavilion, leaned on the railing, tore the steamed bun in her hand and threw it down to feed the fish.

While thinking about all sorts of things, I had torn the steamed bun in my hand into pieces without realizing it.

Suddenly, someone tapped her shoulder. She was startled. She turned around and saw Jia Baoyu smiling innocently and asking, "Sister Lin, is your cough getting better recently?"

It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, and he was beaten pretty hard.

Although he has been able to go out to the fields for some time, it is only recently that he has been able to jump around and have fun in the garden.

Zijuan pursed her lips and said, "Much better. In previous years, she coughed badly during the change of seasons. Master Zhen is a great doctor. Miss hasn't coughed for quite some time."

"Amitabha! Thank God!" Jia Baoyu patted his chest and said exaggeratedly.

Zijuan said with a smile, "You are also chanting the Buddha's name. This is really news! Why don't you go to the young lady and chant it aloud so that she can hear it?"

Baoyu laughed and said, "It's what they call 'trying any possible means to cure a serious illness.'"

Seeing that Zijuan was wearing a thin cotton jacket made of black silk and only a blue satin vest on the outside, he reached out his hand to touch her and said, "You are wearing such thin clothes and sitting in the wind. It's windy and the weather is bad. Don't worry that Sister Lin will get better and you will get sick again."

Zijuan took a small step back, straightened her face and said, "From now on, we can only talk, don't make any moves. It's disrespectful to be one year older than the other. You've been beaten and you're feeling better now, but why don't you learn your lesson? The most important thing is that those bastards talked about you behind your back."

Jia Baoyu already knew why he was beaten. Now when Zijuan brought up the past, he couldn't help scratching his ears and cheeks, looking embarrassed.

He quickly changed the subject and said, "Oh, right! Who is that Master Zhen? His medical skills are so amazing!"

Because Jin Chuan and Qingwen both went to the East Palace, Xiren was worried that he would have another hysterical attack, and she had already reminded the maids in Yihong Courtyard not to mention the East Palace or anyone there.

Therefore, she also didn't know that Zhen Shiyin was treating Lin Daiyu.

"It's Xiangling's father!" Zijuan's eyelids twitched twice, and after a pause, she added, "Thanks to Master Yi for always being concerned about the young lady's condition. Last time Master Jing and Master Zhen passed away, he specially arranged for Master Zhen to check the young lady's pulse."

Ever since he was caught last time and seduced Lin Daiyu to see the West Chamber, he has been avoiding Zhang Yunyi.

In addition, Jin Chuan and Qingwen both went to the East Palace, so he deliberately avoided them.

Suddenly hearing his name, she was startled and asked in a trembling voice, "Does he...does he often go to Sister Lin's place?"

"That's right! Zhiyanzhai has been open for quite some time, and even the script of the Legend of the White Snake has been published. I heard a while ago that the kitchen neglected the young lady, so Master Yi even replaced the manager of the kitchen, and from time to time he would send some fresh fruits from the farm to cheer the young lady up!"

After hearing this, Jia Baoyu looked a little dazed, and murmured, "You... is what you said true?"

"How could it be false?" Zijuan said confidently, "It's okay for other things, but the fruits grown on Master Yi's farm are available in all seasons. The girl likes them very much. I'm afraid that if she gets used to them, she won't be used to them when she returns home!"

"What home?" Jia Baoyu was a little flustered. "You are speaking in plain language again. Although Suzhou is my hometown, I was brought here because my uncle and aunt died and there was no one to take care of me. What home can I go back to? It's obvious that you are lying."

Zijuan was not surprised when she saw this, but was delighted and said, "You underestimate me too much! Not to mention that my family has been scholars for generations, and they will never leave their children at the relatives' house to be laughed at by others. Besides, my girl is old, and she will get married sooner or later. My girl often tells us not to joke with you. You may be far away from her recently, but I'm afraid she is still far behind you!"

When Baoyu heard this, it was as if a huge thunderclap had exploded above his head. He was stunned like a wooden chicken.

Zijuan wanted to see how he would answer, so she remained silent.

Just when the situation was at a stalemate, Xiren came over and said, "Old lady, Madam is calling you, who knew you were here?"

Zijuan sighed unwillingly, stepped out of the pavilion, and explained, "He asked about the lady's illness. I told him that she was already well, but he didn't believe me. You should take him away quickly."

After saying that, he turned around, looked at Jia Baoyu, who still had a dazed expression, shook his head, and left quickly.

Seeing Jia Baoyu standing in a daze, sweating and with a purple face, Xiren hurriedly pulled his hand and hurried to Yihong Courtyard.

When they returned to Yihong Courtyard, they saw Jia Baoyu's eyes were wide open and saliva was flowing from the corners of his mouth, but he was unconscious.

Xiren was immediately panicked. She sent someone to report to Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang, while rushing to Xiaoxiang Pavilion alone.

Seeing that Zijuan was helping Lin Daiyu to get up, he didn't care about anything else and came up to question Zijuan, "What did you say to our Baoyu just now? He is not even conscious now. Go and take a look. I won't care anymore!"

She couldn't be sure that it was Zijuan who caused it, but Mrs. Wang handed Yihongyuan over to her. She had just recovered from her injuries and now such a situation happened. How could she explain it?
Seeing Xiren's face full of anger and tears, and her behavior changed drastically, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but panic and asked what was wrong.

Xiren calmed down and cried, "I don't know what Miss Zijuan said, but the idiot's eyes are straight, his hands and feet are cold, and he can't speak anymore. He is almost dead!"

Lin Daiyu was also panicked when she heard this. Although Zijuan was a member of the Rong Mansion, she was a maid in her room after all. If there was really something wrong with Jia Baoyu, how could she face Jia Mu and others?

She was so angry that she coughed twice after a long time. Zijuan hurried over to massage her back.

Lin Daiyu panted for a long while, and said in a trembling voice: "Hurry up and tell me, what did you say to him?"

Zijuan was also panicked. How could she dare to admit it? She just cried, "I didn't say anything. He asked me about the lady's condition, and I just said that Master Yi arranged for Master Zhen to treat the young lady. Who knew it would turn out like this?"

This gave Xiren the opportunity to seize the opportunity and asked hurriedly, "Are you sincere? I knew that Jin Chuan and Qingwen had both gone to see Master Yi, and I had instructed them not to mention Master Yi in front of him, lest he arouse his worries. But you just kept bringing up the issue! And... and..."

As she spoke, she walked forward quickly, grabbed Zijuan and said, "Let's go! The old lady and the mistress should be here by now, go over and explain everything to them!"

Although Lin Daiyu wanted to avoid suspicion, she had no choice but to stand up and said, "Go! Explain what you said as soon as possible. I'm afraid he will wake up soon."

When Zijuan heard this, she hurriedly followed and rushed to Yihong Courtyard with Lin Daiyu and Xiren.
