The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 348 Returning Home
As they were talking, the carriage had already entered the Rongguo Mansion.

Zhang Yunyi was the first to lift the curtain and step out of the car.

Seeing the courtyard filled with people, with Lady Jia in tears standing in front of everyone, he couldn't help but pause.

He did not send anyone to Rong Mansion to report, which was obviously another arrangement by the emperor.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to lift the curtain in front of everyone, watching Yuanchun step out.

"Baoqin! Go and help the young lady get off the car!"

Mrs. Wang, who was standing behind Lady Jia, wiped away her tears and quickly spoke first.

Grandmother Jia also wiped away her tears, turned around and glared at her, then turned to look at the carriage with burning eyes.

The carriage bench had already been moved. Yuanchun stepped out of the carriage and, with the help of Baoqin, got off the carriage. She quickly came to Jia's mother, knelt on the ground, and said sadly, "Grandma! Your granddaughter is unfilial!"

This call of unfilial piety was so sincere that Jia's mother's tears seemed to break off, and she choked with sobs, "Quick! Get up quickly!"

Speaking of which, although Yuanchun is Lady Wang's biological daughter, in terms of affection, she is not as good as Lady Jia who has always raised her by her side.

Thinking of Yuanchun's rough experience, Jia's mother burst into tears: "It's all my fault. I made you suffer!"

"This is fate! My granddaughter will be satisfied as long as she can leave that place where people cannot see her."

"Yes! Yes!" Grandmother Jia wiped her tears and nodded repeatedly.

Seeing that Grandmother Jia was crying, Yuanchun hurried to comfort her: "My granddaughter has finally waited for her to go home. Why are you crying instead of talking and laughing?"

She then greeted Lady Wang, Jia She, Lady Xing, Aunt Xue and others, and then hesitated and said, "Father, why..."

Although she was in the deep palace and was involved in the matter, Yuanchun knew very little about her own marriage.

She even suspected that she had done something wrong, which led to the unexpected situation.

Since he didn't see Jia Zheng at this moment, he mistakenly thought that he didn't want to see him.

"Don't worry about him! Last month, the emperor transferred him out of the capital to take up the post of academic affairs. He couldn't wait for years, so he hurried to take up the post."

Grandmother Jia pulled Yuanchun up, held her hand, and said to Zhang Yunyi who had just got off the carriage: "Go and thank Brother Yi! Someone from the palace just said that it was thanks to him that the emperor let you come back early!"

"You are too kind, old lady!" Zhang Yunyi waved his hand and said, "I happened to be in the palace selecting musicians, and I heard that the eldest girl was working as a musician in the Shangyi Bureau, so I mentioned it."

In the palace and in the carriage, he didn't mind letting Yuanchun accept this affection, but in front of Yingchun and Tanchun, he needed to try his best to avoid arousing their suspicion.

As for Yuanchun, he had said these words in the palace before, and now reiterating them in front of Lady Jia gave people the impression that he was not taking credit for it.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, the doubt in Tanchun's eyes when she looked at him disappeared, and instead became even more passionate.

It was originally thought that Zhang Yun逸 would at least wait until the Wanshou Festival to explain to the emperor, but unexpectedly, before the play even started, he had already taken credit for Yuanchun's performance.

Li Wan, on the other hand, was no different. She thought that Zhang Yunyi had heard that Lady Wang and Yuanchun had arranged for her to live in the garden after returning home, so she couldn't wait to get her back.

But Jia's mother obviously didn't think so. She wiped her tears and smiled, "That's because you kept it in mind. It's worth it that her father entrusted the family to you before he left!"

Although Grandmother Jia did not know the emperor's intention, she heard the messages in the palace clearly.

Since Zhang Yunyi was willing to take the initiative to plead for Yuanchun and rode in the same car with her to send her back, she felt more confident.

Although Jia Zheng's words about asking his family for help were true, there was a lot of ambiguity in his words.

It is entirely possible to change the approach, even if her father was replaced by the second master, unnecessary misunderstandings could be avoided.

Yuanchun had followed Grandmother Jia since she was young, so she naturally knew that she couldn't have said such ambiguous words for no reason. Thinking of Zhang Yunyi's ambiguous attitude towards the rumors along the way and entrusting the program of the Longevity Festival to her, she couldn't help but realize something.

She was already shy and timid, and was suddenly pushed from behind by Lady Jia, causing her to stagger.

After she steadied herself, she realized that he was very close to her. She bowed deeply in a panic and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you, Brother Yi!"

Zhang Yunyi could only pretend to be polite and said, "We are all family, Sister Yuanchun, please stop being polite!"

Lady Jia's words were already too obvious, and Yuanchun looked shy at this moment.

Even Yingchun, who was usually dull, noticed that something was wrong.

She looked at the two people surrounded in the middle and lowered her head in shame.

Even Yingchun could see the clues, so how could others not see it?
Aunt Xue and Baochai looked at each other, then turned to look at Mrs. Wang at the same time.

The last time Zhang Yunyi defended Aunt Zhao in public, they were a little worried, but now they suddenly realized the truth.

However, they were behind Mrs. Wang and did not see that her face looked as pale as death.

Wang Xifeng, who was standing by, heard Mrs. Wang hurriedly ordering someone to hold the zither and help Yuanchun get out of the car, with a joking look on her face.

At this moment, after hearing what Grandmother Jia said, he couldn't help but frowned slightly.

The speaker is intentional, and the listener is more intentional.

Before this, she had glimpsed another side of Mrs. Wang. Although she was horrified, she was secretly delighted that she had a bargaining chip.

But after being reminded by Lady Jia, she remembered that Jia Zheng had entrusted the household to Zhang Yun逸 before he left.

Knowing about the relationship between Mrs. Wang and Zhang Yunyi, she couldn't help but pay more attention to some recent rumors in the mansion.

When she first learned that Mrs. Wang had been staying at Zhang Yunyi's hot spring villa for several days, she had thought it was just a serious affair. But when she thought of what Jia Zheng said before he left, combined with her own experience, she couldn't help but have preconceived guesses.

The same scene fell into Jia Mu's eyes, but she was very satisfied. She smiled and urged: "Yes! Brother Yi is right, we are all family! Don't just stand there, invite your brother Yi to go inside and talk!"

"No! It's getting late. If it's any later, the city gates will be closed. The young lady just came back. I'm sure she has a lot to say. I'll go back now!"

For the scumbag, no matter how delicious the fruit of Yuanchun's twig is, he will never give up the forest for this tree.

Faced with Lady Jia's undisguised purpose, he naturally needed to keep an appropriate distance.

Hearing that he politely declined Lady Jia's invitation, Tanchun's eyes became even more burning, and Yingchun also raised her head unconsciously.

"Why go back?" Grandmother Jia said, relying on her seniority, "It's not like we haven't stayed here before. Just stay one more night at Mengpozhai!"

Although Jia's proposal was very tempting, it was not the right time. Zhang Yunyi had made up his mind and declined, saying, "I have something to do at the Immortal Academy early tomorrow morning. It's not convenient to stay in the city!"

The incident happened suddenly, and I'm sure Tanchun and Yingchun both had a lot of questions to ask.

Although he was confident in his time management, there were still the greedy Wang Xifeng and Li Wan who were eyeing him covetously, and problems were bound to arise when they got together.

Besides, Tanchun learned about the Qingtang thatched cottage from Aunt Zhao last time, so in order to avoid the Shura scene, he naturally tried his best to avoid it.

After hearing him talk about the government office, although Lady Jia was unwilling, she had no choice but to give up.
