The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 343 Foreshadowing
This drama in Wang Xifeng's room brought his trip to a perfect end.

The effect of this five-day and four-night trip far exceeded expectations.

Not only did everything go as expected, not only did they successfully solve the problem of the Wanshou Festival program, but they also received surprises like Tanchun and Lin Hongyu.

Especially Tanchun, who painted a big picture for her about working together, not only was she willing to be driven by him, but she also got a lot of verbal advantage from him.

Of course, what he enjoyed most was the role-playing between Lady Wang and Wang Xifeng, the aunt and niece.

Because he played himself in the film, his acting was impeccable, and he was immersed in the story, which greatly satisfied his bad taste.

The only drawback is that Wang Xifeng's performance was a bit misplaced. If she could have come earlier, Jia Zheng could have cooperated in the performance.

Even if we bring in Aunt Zhao as an extra ingredient, it will surely be even more interesting.

However, given Jia Zheng's physical condition, I wonder if he can withstand such stimulation.

Thinking of this, he took another mouthful of porridge and looked at Jia Lian, whose eyes were black and lips were blue, with a little concern, and asked with concern: "How is Second Brother Lian recovering?"

Jia Lian's face flashed with embarrassment, and he said evasively: "Big... I think he will be fine after resting for a while."

"Brother Lian, if you have any difficulties, just let me know. I will help you to the end and will never give up halfway."

Last night, Wang Xifeng acted very hard, and he also felt a little bit of pleasure.

If Jia Lian requested, he could stay for one more day.

Jia Lian complained bitterly in his heart, but he had to thank him: "I'm sorry to have caused trouble to Brother Yi!"

The last time he fell ill, it was mainly because he was frightened, but it was also because of his physical exhaustion.

Although he had rested for half a year, during the past six months, he had taken in several concubines from Jia Zhen and Jinxiangyuan, which made his already weak body even worse.

But in order to seek excitement, he kept complaining without any reason, which led to excessive exhaustion and the recurrence of his old illness.

If I can do it the same way as last time, using like to replenish like and slowly nourishing the body, even if I can't recover completely, at least I can make do with it and use it.

But he was in a hurry to achieve success, and instead of stopping at the right time, he struck back with an even more severe blow.

Although strong medicine is used to treat serious illnesses, the side effects are naturally obvious. After two consecutive treatments, not only did he lose consciousness in half of his body, but his complexion also looked extremely ugly.

It has to be said that when it comes to cutting meat to feed the eagle and helping others, Jia Lian is the best.

However, realizing the seriousness of the problem, he did not dare to go with the flow this time.

Seeing that Jia Lian was overwhelmed, Zhang Yunyi did not force him. He secretly said it was a pity and turned to Wang Xifeng, "Sister-in-law, don't forget about Lin Xiaohong's matter."

"I know!" Wang Xifeng said unhappily, "She's just a maid. You can just tell the lady directly. Why do you have to go through me?"

Although the secret was not convenient to be told, he had seen Mrs. Wang shaking her head and tail and making coquettish gestures in front of Zhang Yunyi.

"We still need sister-in-law's help in training her!" Zhang Yunyi didn't understand the implication of her words and explained, "Sister-in-law hasn't found a suitable maid yet. With a little training, Lin Xiaohong can help her."

Hearing him say this, Wang Xifeng was quite proud, but she said, "Why bother with so much trouble? If she has limited energy and can't take care of it, she can just ask Ping'er to go over tomorrow and give her a hand."

"There are no fewer things to do here than on my side. If Ping'er is not here to help, won't it be a burden to my sister-in-law?"

Ping'er is indeed a good candidate, but her relationship with Wang Xifeng is not ordinary.

However, Wang Xifeng is not a person who is content with what she has, so she might use Ping'er to interfere in the affairs of her own house.

What's more, there is the factor of Lin Hongyu. How could Zhang Yun逸 agree to it?

Wang Xifeng said with a dull look on her face, "I don't know how long I can continue to be a housekeeper!"

"Hey! How could that be? My sister-in-law's ability is obvious to all. Who else can handle this mess in the mansion except you?"

"So, Yun Yi, you support me?" "Of course! It will be more convenient for me if my sister-in-law is here to take care of it, right?"

"Then don't forget it! If my wife wants to relieve me of my duties, you have to speak up for me!"

Originally, Wang Xifeng was quite confident. Relying on her friendship with Zhang Yun逸, if Lady Wang intended to replace him, he would definitely speak up for her.

Now that I have discovered Mrs. Wang’s privacy, I have lost my confidence.

Taking advantage of Zhang Yunyi's ignorance that he had seen through the secret, he set an ambush in advance.

"Of course, who else can I help if I don't help my sister-in-law?"

Zhang Yunyi took another mouthful of porridge, stood up and said, "I still have some unfinished business to deal with at the government office. I will go back after I finish it today."

Leaving Rongguo Mansion, we came to Tiangongyuan.

Zhang Yunyi called Gu Wenhui and said, "The guano business benefits the country and the people. Since the emperor has given us full authority, we cannot be satisfied with the status quo. Now that the capital area has been laid out, it is time to expand the business to the south. However, Jiangnan is far away from the capital, and there are a lot of things to do in the capital. I cannot leave the capital, so I must ask the emperor for permission to send someone to take care of it."

Although he was determined not to be the first to take action, he could not escape the blame since the business fell into the hands of Tiangongyuan.

Truth will come to light sooner or later. To avoid suspicion of dereliction of duty, someone must be found to take the blame.

The reason for choosing Jiangnan was, firstly, that it was a land of fish and rice with vast farmland; secondly, it was closer to the southern islands than to the capital.

It goes without saying that the smuggled guano will inevitably be dumped nearby, in the south.

Although he did not ask in detail about the people involved in the smuggling, Prince Ning was desperately looking for a way to make money. The Zhen family was quite powerful in Jiangnan and was also the maternal family of Concubine Zhen, so the Zhen family was bound to be involved.

No matter what the person in charge sent to Jiangnan does, he can stay out of it and expose it. He can avoid the risk of being the first to act and can even be considered as having foresight.

If one knows about the incident but does not report it, he will be the one to take the blame once it happens.

"Your Excellency has really taken care of everything!" Gu Wenhui bowed and said, "Your Highness also had this idea, but because I know that Your Excellency is very busy and it is the end of the year, I originally planned to discuss it with Your Excellency after the New Year!"

He originally thought that Gu Wenhui was King Zhongshun's man, but as his relationship with King Qin became closer, he realized that it was actually arranged by King Qin.

This is also the reason why he specifically sought out Gu Wenhui to discuss the matter.

Even if the King of Qin intends to let him infiltrate the King of Ning's inner circle, he cannot let him have any doubts. By taking this opportunity, he can not only pass on the blame in advance, but also show his firm stance.

It can be said that we kill two birds with one stone.

With this in mind, Zhang Yunyi did not hide his true feelings and said, "We are far away in the capital, out of reach. It is inevitable that some villains will take risks. We must send a trustworthy person to keep an eye on them."

Although he has the favor of being a good father, he has only been serving the King of Qin for a short time.

Since we have to make our stance clear, we naturally have to have some inclination in the personnel we employ. If we send Prince Ning's men, it would backfire.

It would be better to throw the ball to the King of Qin, which would be most appropriate.

"I don't have a suitable candidate either. I'd better consult the King of Qin and then ask the Emperor for permission."

He was not worried that the candidate arranged by King Qin would reveal their relationship. Compared with King Ning's high profile, he was obviously much more low-key.

If he had not gradually gained his trust, he would not even know Gu Wenhui's true identity, let alone King Ning.

Now that things have come to this, I am sure that with the shrewdness of the King of Qin, he will definitely arrange a suitable candidate.

Maybe, it would even make King Ning mistakenly believe that he was intentionally helping to cover it up.
