The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 352 Drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron
About half an hour later, Zhang Yunyi pulled Madam Xing's hair, tilted her head 90 degrees, facing him, and said in a deep voice: "Tell me! How did you get here?"

In fact, he realized that he was thinking wrong as early as when he pulled off Mrs. Xing's long coat.

However, Mrs. Xing's submissive look was quite interesting, so she just went along with it.

Madam Xing said hesitantly, "It is my duty to serve the master, but the master has not returned home for a long time, so I can only come here to serve him..."

One should not hit a smiling person. Seeing that Madam Xing was so knowledgeable and satisfied with her evil taste, Zhang Yunyi stopped threatening her. He loosened his hand that was holding her hair and twisted her waist instead, saying, "Tell me! What's the matter with that old guy?"

Madam Xing was obviously still in shock. After taking a breath, she said carefully, "He asked me to ask the master if he had told the old lady about taking the second girl as a concubine."

Zhang Yunyi said playfully, "Why? Could it be that I didn't tell the old lady and he wants to regret it?"

"No, no, no!" Madam Xing denied it immediately and explained, "The master holds his life in his hands, how dare he take advantage of the master? He wants to take the opportunity to bargain with the old lady..."

She didn't dare to hide it, and immediately told him all Jia She's plans.

"Oh!" Zhang Yunyi leaned against the head of the bed and sneered, "He has a good plan!"

Mrs. Xing said quickly: "That's what I said. Since the master has already paid the money, why bother..."

Seeing that Zhang Yunyi's words were sarcastic, she thought that he didn't want Jia She to take advantage of her.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yunyi waved his hand and said, "How could the master be so unkind? Since you have done your best, go back and tell him that the master will try his best to cooperate with him and tell him to just talk to the old lady."

A penny can make a hero fall, let alone the masters and mistresses who live a life of luxury in the Rong Mansion?
It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. If you are used to extravagance, let alone hard life, once there is no one to serve you, you may not be able to take care of yourself.

Zhang Yun逸 had supervised the Grand View Garden and had Wang Xifeng as his insider, so he had some idea about the financial situation of the Rongguo Mansion.

Although the Rongguo Mansion's income was not enough to cover its expenses and it was in financial difficulty in the first two years, Lady Jia's financial situation was a variable of some size.

It is better to block both ends than to be stubborn.

Jia She's confession alone may not be enough to protect the situation. If the Rong Mansion's finances run into trouble, it will be easier to deal with the situation as it is trapped both internally and externally.

Money is the courage of a hero and gold is the waist of a man. Not to mention good-for-nothings like Jia She, Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu, even Jia Zheng, who claims to be a gentleman, has never encountered such difficulties and is not worldly.

When the time comes when all the money is gone and the rice is cooked, there is no need to worry that he will not bow his head.

However, Lady Jia's personal information is a variable of some importance.

Judging from the original work, there were at least tens of thousands of taels of silver.

If the official household could not continue, Grandmother Jia would certainly use her own pocket to supplement the funds. It would be better to remove the source of the problem and let Jia She use this as an excuse to take out some of Grandmother Jia's pocket first.

He was planning how to use Jia She to cut off the source of the problem, but Mrs. Xing believed it to be true.

Although Zhang Yunyi always fiddled with her without mercy, the pleasure she felt was enough to make her appreciate it.

When he thought about how he had obeyed orders for many years, but was sold out by Jia She without hesitation, he felt really embarrassed.

On the contrary, in front of Zhang Yun逸, he only humbled himself twice, and then he let go of the past grudges, took their friendship into consideration, and stepped in to help him out.

The difference was immediately apparent.

"Master! That old fellow is greedy for more, and there is no guarantee that he will not do it again. It is better to take this opportunity to tell him a message and warn him that I will belong to you from now on and have nothing to do with him. I will only focus on serving you, so that I will not be caught in the middle and get embarrassed."

She knew Jia She's character very well, and was worried that he was greedy. Instead of waiting for him to make things difficult for her and ruin Zhang Yunyi's relationship, it would be better for her to seek shelter actively.

For this reason, she even changed the way she addressed Jia She, and followed Zhang Yunyi in calling him "old boy". Zhang Yunyi was quite surprised by Mrs. Xing's attitude.

However, on second thought, she understood that a good person should choose the right tree to stay. He held Jia She's confession in his hand, and Mrs. Xing had no worries. Besides, Jia She was old and had no manners, so it was normal for her to want to change her family.

The most important thing is that she has no children, so as long as I am willing to give her protection, I don't have to worry about her not being devoted to me.

On the other hand, although Mrs. Wang is in the same situation as Mrs. Xing, her position becomes intriguing once her interests conflict with those of Jia Baoyu.

Both of them were forced to come to the door. Mrs. Xing could say these words on her own initiative, but for Mrs. Wang, it was more like an exchange of interests.

Although Mrs. Xing was a second wife and came from a poor family, and because Lady Jia favored the second wife, her status in the Rongguo Mansion was much lower than that of Mrs. Wang.

But she is the eldest wife after all, and with this insider, many things will undoubtedly be much more convenient.

What's more, she has a niece, Xing Xiuyan, so Zhang Yunyi would naturally not refuse her offer of service.

However, he did not follow suit, but instead pretended to be angry and asked, "Who do you think the master is?"

"This..." Madam Xing was obviously a little flustered, "I am a fallen woman..."

"Hey!" Zhang Yunyi grabbed Madam Xing's hand and pulled it into his arms. His big hands wandered between her back and hips, and he comforted her, "Since I have benefited from you and let you call me Master, I will naturally not allow anyone else to touch you and will protect you."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be fine if Zhang Yun逸 did not provide shelter, but if he told Jia She, she would be in big trouble.

She obediently put her face on Zhang Yunyi's chest, rubbed it, and said flatteringly: "Thank you, Master. Please rest assured, Master, I will only serve you from now on."

"How about you say you don't need me to teach you when you get back?"

"I understand!"

"Yes!" Zhang Yunyi nodded and ordered, "If that old guy doesn't know what's good for him, just tell me, I will make him pay for it!"

"This..." Mrs. Xing couldn't help but hesitate when she heard this.

"Why? Are you worried that you will be implicated?" Zhang Yunyi asked, beating and hitting. "Just relax. Don't worry about whether he has the courage or not. Even if he really wants to risk it, I can guarantee that you will never be implicated."

He paused and said, "I won't hide it from you. Actually, my eldest sister-in-law has been mine for a long time. The reason why I moved to the manor temporarily is because she is pregnant. Besides, Qin..."

He then recounted how he had protected Qin Keqing when Jia Jing intended to kill her during the corruption case in the Ministry of Works. At the end, he said, "Master is a man of his word. You can rest assured!"

If you want Mrs. Xing to be loyal to you, you must help her eliminate her worries. What she is most worried about is being implicated by Jia She. Although Qin Keqing and Youshi's situations are not exactly the same as hers, they can also have a calming effect.

Although Madam Xing still had some doubts, she could only bite the bullet and said, "Of course I believe you, Master!"

Nothing can be achieved overnight; time will tell.

Zhang Yunyi did not hesitate. The hand that was stroking Mrs. Xing's buttocks went around her armpits and held her back. The other arm grabbed her knees and picked her up sideways.

Then, he suddenly got up from the bed, put on his shoes, opened the door, and went straight to the hot spring.

He did not forget to comfort her, "The master was a little heavy-handed just now, and you are tired, so it's a good time to take a bath in the warm water to relieve your fatigue. You rarely have the opportunity to serve the master, so stay here for a few more days, so that the old boy will know that the master has you in his heart!"
