The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 327 An unexpected surprise
The programs for the Wanshou Festival can be put aside for the time being, as Jia Zheng’s trip is imminent.

When he returned to the hot spring villa at night, he immediately went to You's room and asked, "Where are the fan pendants I asked you to prepare last time?"

Now that both his wives and concubines were taken by Zhang Yunyi, the hat could be said to be firmly worn. Since it was a farewell song, he could not leave it out. He could just take this opportunity to give him the green hat fan.

"This... I didn't know Yun Yi was going to use it, so before he left, he sealed it on the museum shelf in the warehouse."

"That's good!"

Before going to Rong Mansion, just go back to the mansion to get it. Zhang Yunyi asked about the storage location and did not explain much.

After listening to the fetal movements for a while and chatting with Youshi for a while, he finally said evasively, "The second master of the West Mansion will leave for Beijing to take up his post tomorrow. I will go there and will not be back at night. I will stay at my second sister-in-law's place."

"What? Is she... itching again? Did she send someone to look for you?" Yu said sarcastically.

"Not really. It's been two months since we moved here. Now that we're there, we have to comfort them!"

Now that Yuanchun's case had been settled, he didn't mind leaving Wang Xifeng with a thought.

In ancient times, offspring were related to the continuation of the family for men, and were equally important for women.

A woman without children, even if she is the legal wife, cannot have her spirit enshrined in the ancestral hall after her death.

This is easy to understand. The so-called coffin, coffin refers to the outer coffin, and spirit refers to the tablet placed in the ancestral hall.

You have no offspring, so who will offer sacrifices to you?

Therefore, the ancients attached great importance to offspring, regardless of gender.

Considering both her life and her death, even if she raises the son of a concubine by her side, at least she can bear the title of the legitimate mother, so that her family will not be wiped out and she will not become a lonely ghost after her death.

It is true that Youshi and Wang Xifeng did not get along well, but that was history. After all, they were friends who had fought together. There might be some jealousy and secret rivalry, but in such a big matter, they would not trip up each other and create an unsolvable grudge.

However, this time he was not doing it simply for Wang Xifeng.

There are also Li Wan, Yingchun and others who need to be comforted, and by the way, let’s take a look at Yuanchun.

In addition, although Gu Wenhui would also send over the daily affairs of Tiangong Institute, it was the end of the year and there were many things to do, so it was more convenient to go back and handle matters such as assessments.

Therefore, this time when he went back, he would not just stay for one day, but planned to treat Rongguo Mansion as another villa.

Because he was worried that Jia Zheng would leave in a hurry.

He got up early, said goodbye to Qin Keqing, the You sisters and a group of maids, and boarded the carriage back to the city.

When the carriage entered the Ning Mansion, he got off and ran straight to the storeroom. He found the fan pendant in a box on the antique shelf. He then picked out a folding fan given by the emperor and put the pendant on it.

I stepped out and just locked the door when I heard someone behind me say sadly, "Uncle!~"

Zhang Yunyi turned around and looked, and suddenly his eyes brightened up. He said with a warm face: "Wu'er, what's wrong with you?"

He came to Liu Wu'er, held her cheeks with both hands, and stared at her eyes that were filled with tears and seemed to be able to speak.

"Master!" Liu Wu'er lowered her eyelids and cried, "Please save Fang Guan and the others! The old lady said that she doesn't need them anymore and wants to send them all away."

Although many wealthy families kept actors, the original intention of buying these young actors was to celebrate Yuanchun's wedding. But now, Jia's mother thought they were unlucky, so she simply dismissed them.

Although actors were originally of low status and being sold out was common, they had been in the Rong Mansion for almost a year and had no worries about food and clothing. They had never even sang a play. How could they be willing to give up such a good life and go out to make a living and live a hard life?
It would be fine if there was no one to turn to, but now, Liu Wu'er, who is of similar age and with whom I have known each other for a long time, seems to have climbed up the social ladder. Plus, they had joked about it a while ago, so I decided to try my best and turn to her for help.

Zhang Yunyi lived outside the city, and Liu Wuer was very anxious. It happened that Zhang Yunyi returned home at this time, and he immediately came to plead for mercy after hearing the news.

Zhang Yunyi said calmly, "I thought it was something serious! Okay, I got it!"

As he spoke, he pinched Liu Wu'er's pointed chin and said in feigned anger, "Master kept you here so that you can get well and serve Auntie in her room as soon as possible. Don't put the cart before the horse because you are worried about such a small matter! If you get sick with worry, Master will be angry."

In order to help the group of little actors who were half teachers and half friends, Liu Wuer really gave it her all and just now she was able to put her knowledge into practice.

But, she was still a little unfamiliar with it and had never had such experience before?

Having her chin pinched by Zhang Yunyi, she was already at a loss. Now, she heard his tone of dissatisfaction, and became even more frightened. She quickly avoided his gaze and said, "I...I know I was wrong!"

"Since you know you're wrong, I'm going to punish you!"

Before Liu Wu'er could react, Zhang Yunyi's free hand had already gone behind Liu Wu'er and gently patted the perky breast on her back.

Seeing the little girl hunched over, with her hands behind her back, and hurriedly hiding them behind her, looking aggrieved and shy, Zhang Yunyi said proudly: "Since this is your first offense, I will only give you a light punishment and a heavy warning this time."

He then patiently said, "Serving in the aunt's room and serving the master is not an easy job. Don't be distracted by these trivial matters. Get well soon and don't keep the master and aunt waiting for too long!"

"I...I haven't been slacking off." Liu Wu'er explained quickly, "Master Zhen said that I need to move around more. I've been visiting my mother a lot lately, and I've also learned a few things from Fang Guan and the others..."

At this point, she finally realized what was happening and quickly changed her words, "I have learned a few lines from opera. If you like, I will sing a few lines for you!"

"Oh?" Zhang Yunyi looked at Liu Wu'er with interest.

No wonder she looked so plaintive and tearful just now, and walked so gracefully like a willow in the wind, it turned out to be because of this.

He rubbed Liu Wu'er's chin and said with a smile: "You don't have to sing now. When you recover, go to the aunt's room to serve her, and then give me a surprise. If you sing well, I will reward you handsomely."

"Then...then Fang Guan and the others..."

Because Zhang Yunyi did not express his opinion seriously, Liu Wuer mentioned learning from the little actor just now. Although it was for explanation, it was also meant to plead for them.

Zhang Yunyi's hand that was pinching her chin slid and grasped her slender waist, patting it gently. He then held her in his arms and walked away, saying, "Since Wu'er is begging for them, how can I stand by and watch them die?"

He paused and said, "However, since I have promised you, please don't let me down. Get well soon. I am still waiting for you to serve me in my room!"

When has Liu Wuer ever experienced all this?

The Ning and Rong mansions have always had the tradition of keeping people in the house, and they are extremely sensitive about serving in the house.

At this moment, he held her in his arms again. She felt the numbness in her waist spreading throughout her body. Her legs and feet became weak, and she leaned into his arms involuntarily.
