The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 35: Using both threats and tricks to win over Xiangling (Part )
The women in Tianxiang Tower were waiting for Zhang Yunyi.

Zhang Yun逸 was also thinking hard about how he could meet everyone.

It can be said to be a two-way journey.

However, at the moment he could not care about Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, and the other three girls. He mainly wanted to see Aunt Xue.

It wasn't because he wanted to raise his seniority, but because of Xiangling.

He has always taken it as his responsibility to collect... no, to save the golden hairpin.

It would be fine if she didn't know that Xiangling was not abused by Xue Pan, but now that she knew, how could she just sit there and do nothing?

However, although the maid could wait to be sent, looking at Xue Pan's attitude towards Xiangling, she was afraid that even if she asked for it, she might not agree. What's more, it was the first time they met, so there was no reason for her to ask for it.

After much thought, the only place to start is with Aunt Xue.

He remembered that the Xue family was in charge of the imperial merchants, and he happened to be working in the inner court. As long as he made good use of it, he might be able to force them to submit.

Of course, in order to avoid exposing his true nature in the Ning and Rong mansions, this kind of thing can only be done in secret.

As for Xue Baochai...there is always a second chance for everything. As long as she has a successful career, as the daughter of an imperial merchant, she will surely be able to judge the situation.

However, although he and Xue Pan were already acquainted, even if he went to his house, there was no reason for him to go to his widowed mother right away.

But Xiangling couldn't delay any longer. Who knew how long Xue Pan meant by "a while"?
Just as he was planning to slip away on the pretext of feeling unwell and look for another opportunity in the garden, he saw Youshi walk in.

"The old lady wants to see Yun Yi."

Jia Zhen couldn't help but frown. He knew that the truth would come out sooner or later. As Zhang Yunyi's fame grew, it would be impossible to keep it secret forever.

As the saying goes, caring too much will lead to confusion. He and Jia Jing were secretly planning to get married, so he couldn't help but judge others by himself.

Although his younger sister Xichun is much younger than him, the Rong family does not have this worry.

Moreover, during the New Year's Eve visit, Xifu mentioned Yuanchun's departure from the palace intentionally or unintentionally, so how could he not think too much about it.

"Since the old lady wants to see him, I will go with her!" With this in mind, he tried to observe the attitude of the West Mansion, so he told Jia Rong, "You stay and accompany your uncle Xue."

After leaving the front hall, Jia Zhen wanted to ask the reason, but he was worried that if he said too much, he would make mistakes.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yunyi asked, "Why did the old lady want to see me?"

Youshi hurriedly told Jia Zhen the whole story. When Jia Zhen heard that it was Aunt Xue who instigated the incident, he felt much more relieved.

But Zhang Yun逸 was overjoyed.

Although he had been working in the inner court for only a month, during which time he was busy making sugar. In addition, he had not expected this to happen and had not inquired about the Xue family's affairs.

I heard that Aunt Xue took the lead and seemed to have something to ask for, so it would be more likely that I could ask for Xiangling.

"Yun Yi greets the old lady, the madam, the sisters-in-law, and the sisters."

Although he had not been out and about for many years, among the people present, only Wang Xifeng and the mother and daughter of the Xue family had not been seen before. The rest could be roughly identified based on their age, personality, and the description in the book.

However, they were just children at that time, so except for Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang, the rest were just referred to as general terms.

"Good child, your mother is only a few years older than Min'er. She used to stay with me for some time. I didn't expect that you are so tall now. It shows that I am really old." Grandmother Jia smiled and waved her hand, "Come closer and let me see."

Before Zhang Yunyi could come forward, Wang Xifeng, who was standing behind Jia's mother, said with a smile, "Grandfather, you are not old, but blessed with longevity. Isn't it that you have a promising grandson?"

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Yunyi with a smile.

She was used to flattering Lady Jia, and no one else paid attention to it. Even Zhang Yunyi would not think that she was doing this to attract his attention.

Without looking away, he came to Lady Jia and said, "When my mother was alive, she often mentioned it. I'm grateful to the old lady for her care."

Grandmother Jia took his hand, looked him over, then turned to Mrs. Wang and said, "You've met the madam." Zhang Yunyi hurriedly bowed again.

"Good boy, we are all family, don't be alienated."

As the saying goes, the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the happier she is. Although Mrs. Wang only regarded him as a backup candidate, she was quite satisfied with him.

Although Zhang Yun逸 lacked some of the temperament of a scholar, he had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and was strong and vigorous.

As someone who had been through it, she knew that a weak scholar was useless and might even die young, so she had to choose someone like Zhang Yunyi as her son-in-law.

Because of this thought, his eyes revealed some of it. Although others did not notice it, Jia Zhen saw it and was worried.

"This is Madam's sister, you can also call her Aunt."

Zhang Yunyi looked in the direction that Lady Jia pointed and was greatly surprised for a moment.

Since she came here with a purpose, Aunt Xue didn't want to be looked down upon by Zhang Yun逸, so she dressed very elegantly.

The lilac-colored long coat was pink with purple, which made her already snow-white skin look even more rosy, making her skin look even smoother than before.

Because of the sitting position, the long coat was stretched full and round.

The most valuable part is the waist. Although it is not a narrow jacket with a waist, the goose yellow satin ribbon around the waist creates a charming look, making the waist and hips look even more slim.

Although the body of a young girl in her twenties is as soft as a butterfly, Aunt Xue is not inferior at all, and such a mature woman is the best at quenching thirst.

I didn't expect that the fat and big-eared Xue Pan would have such a mother.

"It turned out that it was the concubine who met Wenlong in the front hall and was just saying that she would visit her aunt when she had time."

Aunt Xue smiled happily upon hearing this, bowed slightly, raised her hand and said, "Then you must come to our house and sit down. I'll ask Wenlong to invite you later. You must not refuse."

When she leaned forward, her round and slender figure was displayed more perfectly.

"Hmm!" Zhang Yunyi took the opportunity to swallow and said with a smile, "Of course."

Only then did he reluctantly look away.

In fact, in terms of body shape, Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang can be said to be of the same origin.

However, Mrs. Wang was nearly 40 years old after all, and perhaps because of the strong wind and sand in the capital, she did not seem to have taken as good care of herself as Aunt Xue. She could only be said to still have charm, but not to the point of being eye-catching.

Then Jia's mother said to Li Wan, who was sitting under Aunt Xue, "This is your sister-in-law Zhu. Today Lan'er and Baoyu are both going to school. I'll introduce her to you next time you come over."

Li Wan was dignified and elegant, and dressed quite simply. She only looked sad when Lady Jia mentioned Sister Zhu.

As Madam Wang's daughter-in-law, she did not sit below Madam Wang. Zhang Yunyi saw this and said nothing. He only bowed slightly and said, "Sister-in-law Zhu."

Li Wan was not an elder like Lady Wang and Aunt Xue, so she quickly stood up and returned the greeting.

Grandmother Jia pointed behind her and said with a smile, "This is your sister-in-law Lian. She is famous among us for her eloquence..."

"Grandfather, please don't expose my shortcomings." Wang Xifeng was waiting for what she had done last time because she failed to attract Zhang Yunyi's attention. Before Lady Jia finished speaking, she smiled and said, "I never thought that there is such a person as my cousin in my family. It's a pity that your second brother Lian is not at home, otherwise, I would have asked him to get closer to you."

This is not a hope for Jia Lian to be close to him, it is clearly a reminder to him that Jia Lian is not at home.

However, Zhang Yun逸 did not understand the implicit meaning of the words.

Because Lady Jia introduced them according to their seniority and age, he quickly turned around. But when he turned to Aunt Xue's side, he caught a glimpse of a very pretty girl standing behind her, looking at him with curiosity.

The rouge mark on the forehead was faintly visible. Zhang Yunyi suddenly stopped and asked in surprise: "Old lady, this girl is not from the mansion, right?"
