The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 398 Happy to see Hunter
"Hey!~"

Jin Chuan picked up the clothes that Baochai had changed and sniffed them gently. Then she moved closer to Baochai and sniffed them suddenly. Her eyes lit up as she asked, "Could this fragrance be from the young lady?"

Earlier, Jin Chuan had smelled a faint fragrance, which she thought was the scent of incense or beads. Now that she had taken off her outer clothes, the fragrance became even stronger.

Her eyes were fixed on Baochai, who was only wearing a middle-length coat and a thin gauze skirt, as if she had discovered a new world.

Although they were both women, Baochai could not help feeling ashamed and angry when she was scrutinized so unscrupulously by a maid.

Although she had given Jinchuan a few sets of old clothes, giving and asking for are two different things.

Logically, given Jin Chuan's status, she should borrow clothes from Ying'er, or wait for her to ask for it first and then go with the flow. This would be reasonable.

How could I mess up the hierarchy and ask her to borrow her clothes without any hesitation?

Now, being stared at so unscrupulously, how could she remain calm?

But when beating a dog, one has to look at the owner. After all, he is Zhang Yunyi's man, so it is not her turn to teach him a lesson.

She had no choice but to suppress her anger, her pretty face blushing slightly, she took a deep breath, nodded, and urged, "Stop talking, change your clothes first."

Because she had been promised to help her change her clothes, the clothes were still on Jinchuan's arm, and she couldn't grab them.

I originally thought that I should change my clothes as soon as possible to avoid this embarrassment.

Unexpectedly, Jin Chuan remained unmoved. Her eyes were still darting around, staring at her, looking her up and down.

She couldn't hold it back for a moment and couldn't help but say: "You..."

But just after she uttered a word, Jin Chuan suddenly woke up from her dream and said hesitantly: "Miss... Miss! Can you give me what you are wearing as well?"

"What?" Baochai was stunned by Jinchuan's unexpected words.

There weren't many tea stains on her clothes to begin with, so there was no way they couldn't be washed clean.

But Jinchuan kept saying that if it couldn't be washed well, it had to be replaced with a new one.

These were not the ones she had given to Jin Chuan before. Although they were not made of materials such as kesi or Shu brocade, they were also the finest brocade.

With Jin Chuan's identity, how could she be so shameless as to say that she wanted to make a new one and return it to herself?
She couldn't help but suspect that Zhang Yunyi wanted to use Jin Chuan to send clothes to her in various ways.

If not for this, she wouldn't have agreed to Jin Chuan so easily.

But even though the gold bracelet was used to cover it up, it was still a private transaction, which was already inappropriate. Giving an outer garment was fine, but how could he give underwear?

"What do you want this dress for?"

Seeing that she not only did not refuse sternly, but asked about the purpose, Jin Chuan felt that there was a chance, and gritted her teeth and said, "To be honest, young lady, I once wore the clothes you gave me, and the master said that they smelled good. I... I also want to get some of your fragrance, please help me!"

Of course, what she said was completely false, but it was true that she was excited to see the prey.

Those old clothes that have been placed for a long time can make Uncle Yi very interested, let alone those that have just been changed?
Moreover, this possibility cannot be ruled out.

I didn't notice any smell, but my uncle was not an ordinary person.

"This..." Baochai couldn't help but be stunned.

Originally, she thought that Jin Chuan could just make up a plausible reason and she would just agree to it.

Unexpectedly, he was so rash as to say such a ridiculous thing, and he was in a dilemma for a moment.

Little did they know that Jin Chuan was not being rash, but doing it on purpose.

After seeing how Zhang Yunyi bullied the two ladies in Rongguo Mansion, she no longer had the same awe as before towards this Duke's Mansion.

Even Yingchun, the second daughter of Rongguo Mansion, was rushed to the mansion, allowing Zhang Yunyi to keep his beauty in his golden house openly.

Then, wouldn't the Xue family, who are living under someone else's roof, be even more eager to get close to their own master?
After all, she had been Lady Wang's maid, so she knew something about the situation of the Xue family.

Therefore, this was why he intentionally or unintentionally tried to link himself to Zhang Yun逸.

That is to say, Master Yi's private affairs were not convenient to be told, otherwise, I am afraid that he would speak more bluntly. She observed Baochai's expression and saw a blush on her face. She lowered her head and remained silent. Jinchuan became bolder and said with a smile: "To be honest with you, young lady, Master has also designed some small clothes for girls. They are very comfortable to wear. I can't ask for it for nothing. I will get some good materials and make two sets for you."

Baochai was just wondering whether this was Zhang Yunyi's idea, but Jin Chuan happened to say this, which undoubtedly confirmed her previous guess.

However, if Zhang Yunyi was not involved, Baochai could still pretend to be deaf and dumb, but now that he was involved, and those embarrassing underwear, how could she save face?

"Since it was designed by Brother Yi, how can I wear it!"

Jin Chuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, young lady! I will never tell anyone about this. From now on, if you have any errands, I will definitely not refuse."

This was the last straw that broke the camel's back. The words seemed to be Jin Chuan's promise, but to Xue Baochai, they came from Zhang Yunyi's mouth.

In addition, Jin Chuan is only Xiangling's maid, but judging from her performance, she is much more lively than Xiangling, and she is able to help Zhang Yunyi do these things. It is obvious that she has his trust and is worth winning over.

"That's all! You can take this one, but as for... the rest, you don't need it!"

Jin Chuan was adamant: "How can that be possible? I may have to trouble you again in the future, and I can't always take your money for free."

She said this but her hands did not stop, and she could not wait to unbutton Baochai's shirt.

After all, it was not an outer garment, so when helping Baochai take it off, her fingertips would inevitably touch it.

As she peeled off Baochai's hair, she exclaimed in admiration, "No wonder they compared you to Concubine Yang. I didn't expect that your skin is not only whiter than snow, but also smoother than satin. You also have your own fragrance. I would say that you are even better than Concubine Yang!"

Although the words came from Jin Chuan's mouth, with her previous speculation, Baochai always unconsciously connected them to Zhang Yun逸.

She was so embarrassed that she could not wait for Jinchuan to serve her. She hurriedly grabbed the small dress placed on the bedside, turned her back, and put it on herself.

Jin Chuanyuan was still a little confused, as she was afraid that if it was left outside for too long, the smell would not be as strong as when it was just taken off. Seeing this, she went with the flow and wrapped herself in the small dress, middle dress, and outer garment in order.

She looked at Baochai again, hesitated for a moment, and simply wrapped the clothes that Baochai had given her to change into outside.

Then, he pulled out a piece of brocade and wrapped them together, then turned around and put the outer garment on Baochai.

When Baochai saw that she not only did not change the old clothes stained with tea, but instead wrapped them up, she became even more certain of her previous guess.

But he could only turn a blind eye and pretend to be deaf and dumb and said, "Thank you for your help."

Jin Chuan laughed and said, "No way! I should thank you, young lady!"

As she spoke, she picked up the bag on the table, waved it in front of Baochai, and said, "Since the young lady has changed her clothes, I will go back first."

Baochai couldn't help but feel relieved when she saw that she was no longer rash and didn't take care of the dress.

Jin Chuan was afraid that Baochai would go back on her word, so she picked up her bag and left.

After leaving the inner room, Ying'er saw that she was still wearing old clothes, but her face was full of confusion.

After sending Jinchuan out of the door, Fang went into the inner room, looked at Baochai with a puzzled look and said, "Didn't she say that wearing dirty clothes would embarrass Master Yi? Why..."

As she was talking, she noticed that the folded small clothes on the bedside were missing, and hurriedly said, "Miss! The underwear that the young lady dried yesterday, I just folded it and put it on the bedside, how come it is gone now? I'm afraid Jin Chuan has done something wrong!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Baochai shouted, blurting out, "I just changed it!"

"Ah?" Ying'er looked around blankly, and asked with increasing confusion, "Where is the one that the girl changed?"

"This..." Baochai was suddenly speechless.

Ying'er misunderstood and said anxiously, "Miss! This is your underwear. If it gets out, you won't be able to explain it... I will get her back right away!"

As she spoke, she turned around and was about to chase after him, but Baochai hurriedly called out to her, "Don't go!"

Ying'er looked at Baochai in surprise. Baochai hesitated for a moment and warned her, "Don't tell anyone about this!"

Ying'er looked at her young lady thoughtfully, nodded, and stopped asking further questions.
