The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 402 Take the initiative to ask for help
Outsiders have no idea what Jin Chuan said and how much she said last night.

All we know is that Zhang Yunyi was in high spirits. He had dinner at Linshui Pavilion and then rested here.

However, after last night's experience, Jin Chuan became even more certain that she had made the right bet.

Taking advantage of getting up early to help Zhang Yunyi get dressed, she suggested, "Master! I've thought about it. We've all gone to the villa, and there's no one to take care of the family. It would be more convenient for me to stay and deliver something."

Although Jin Chuan's proposal was tempting, Zhang Yunyi was somewhat hesitant.

To be honest, he felt a little regretful.

If I had known Jin Chuan had this awareness, she would have stayed by my side, been my personal secretary, and helped share the pressure of time management.

Instead of having to find a reasonable excuse to explain to Xiangling like I am doing now.

Seeing that he remained silent, Jin Chuan hurriedly said, "Miss Lin, someone else is going to send her off. I'm afraid she doesn't understand your intention. As for Miss Bao, I promised to send two sets of clothes and a suspender skirt back."

She paused, looked up at Zhang Yunyi and said, "Besides, if there is one, there will be two. The concubine has been away from home for a long time, and I have just become friends with her. If we can strike while the iron is hot, when she goes to the farm, you can just pretend to run into me when I am serving her, and I guarantee she will be reluctant..."

"Hmm!" Zhang Yunyi raised his clenched fist to his mouth, coughed, interrupted Jin Chuan's words, and said sanctimoniously, "It's really not good to have no one to take care of the family. It just so happens that Mr. Zhen and his family are reluctant to give up the heir, so you can stay and help take care of it!"

He made arrangements without hesitation using his son's name.

"Hey! I will definitely walk around more during this period, so that I can get to know my concubine's figure as soon as possible, and then I can find time to make a nightgown for her."

Jin Chuan's face lit up with delight, and she quickly agreed, then asked, "What about the Second Madam and Aunt Zhao?"

"Tell them to wait there at night!"

This answer made Jin Chuan somewhat disappointed.

She was so keen on helping Master Yi to hook up with Aunt Xue. Besides trying to understand her master's intentions, she also wanted to make Madam Wang feel embarrassed.

Aunt Xue has a similar physical appearance to Lady Wang, but she is slightly better than Lady Wang in terms of age, skin color, and style.

As the saying goes, people in the same profession are enemies. With the younger choice of Aunt Xue, Mrs. Wang is left with only the identity of the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion.

However, she did not dare to disobey Zhang Yunyi's opinion.

After serving Zhang Yun逸 breakfast and waiting for him to go to the yamen, Jin Chuanfang arrived at the Rongguo Mansion.

As had been agreed upon yesterday, Aunt Zhao was waiting in Rong Xi Tang early.

Seeing Jinchuan, he quickly greeted her, "What did you say, sir?"

"You guys get ready and go there early in the evening."

After Jinchuan finished speaking, she winked at Yuchuan and was about to go out with her sister to chat about family matters.

But Aunt Zhao pulled her back and said, "I heard from Yuchuan that you are going to stay outside the city in a few days?"

This matter had been arranged long ago. Although Jin Chuan had not mentioned it to Lady Wang and Aunt Zhao, she had to mention it to her own sister.

This was not a secret at all, and Yuchuan did not deliberately hide it, but Aunt Zhao did take it to heart.

"What's the matter? Is there something wrong?" Jin Chuan glanced at Aunt Zhao.

"Hoo!" Aunt Zhao turned around quickly, picked up two bundles from the chair, handed them to Jinchuan, and said, "Please take this with you and ask Master to give it to Huan'er when he goes to study immortality."

Yesterday, when she hurriedly recommended herself to him, she had this in mind.

However, she did not expect Jin Chuan's sudden visit and did not make any preparations in advance. In addition, Jin Chuan left too hurriedly and she knew she would come again, so she waited until today to tell her.

Jin Chuan glanced at Madam Wang and said, "It's not a big deal for me to help you pack your luggage, but I won't go with you this time, so I can't help you remind Master. You should take good care of Master tonight and then tell him yourself!"

Aunt Zhao didn't think much of it, but Yuchuan became a little anxious after hearing this. However, she didn't rush to ask, but looked at her sister with a worried look on her face.

For a maidservant, the closer to her master the better.

She didn't know the reason, but she only knew that a few days ago, Jin Chuan vowed that she would go to the villa with the team to stay for a while.

Now that he suddenly said he couldn't go, I couldn't help but feel worried.

Without waiting for Jinchuan to say hello, he hurriedly took her arm and went out.

"Sister, what's going on? Didn't we agree to follow Master to the farm? Did you offend Master in some way?"

As soon as they left Rong Xi Tang, Yu Chuan started asking a series of questions like a machine gun.

Jin Chuan smiled and comforted him, "How could that be? Just relax! Master asked me to stay at home because he had something important for me to do."

She was afraid that her sister would worry, so she said confidently: "If these things are done, the master will be happy and might even promote me to be a concubine! Although Concubine You is gentle, there is still a difference between master and servant, so she will inevitably suffer some grievances. If I can be a concubine, you don't have to suffer with outsiders, just come to me directly."

"Really?" Yuchuan's worry turned into joy, and she said in disbelief, "Even Miss Shi can only be your concubine, and with our status, we can still..."

To be honest, Jin Chuan was not sure in her heart, but in order to reassure her sister, she could only pat her chest and said, "How could I lie to you? I'm not afraid to tell you, not only Miss Shi, but also Miss Two wants to be my mistress!~"

"Ah?!" Yuchuan exclaimed, quickly covered her mouth and looked around.

Jin Chuan said confidently, "Even the girls in this mansion are only fit to be my mistress. Don't you think about what my status is now? In my eyes, how different are we from these girls? Why would I care about this? To put it in a taboo way, if the emperor takes a concubine, why would he care whether the concubines in the harem are princes and nobles or ordinary people?"

What she said makes sense. As long as the status is high enough, the difference between a hundred feet and eighty feet is not that big.

To quote what I said in my previous life, whether you are poor or rich, you are all poor in my eyes.

Yuchuan is not as knowledgeable as Jinchuan. In her eyes, although Mrs. Wang is humble and hardworking in front of Zhang Yun逸, she is never complaining.

But after all, it was Jia Zheng's instruction, and he has not completely gotten rid of his deep-rooted views.

"But we are slaves after all. How can we compare with the young ladies?"

"What's the big deal? Although there is no precedent for this in our house, there are ready-made examples elsewhere!"

Jin Chuan glanced around and lowered her voice to say, "Mrs. Zhen's sister was originally a maid in her family. It was only because Jia Yucun took a fancy to her that the lady took her in as an adopted daughter. She was originally just a concubine, but now, she has been promoted to be a concubine and a legitimate official wife!~"

Originally, as a maid beside Xiangling, Jin Chuan was unwilling to say much about the Zhen family's gossip.

But now, in order to gain my sister's trust, I can't care less.

Yuchuan was skeptical when she heard this.

Jin Chuan thought for a moment and said, "That's right! Please keep an eye on the Second Wife for me. If the concubine asks her to accompany her to the master's farm to take a bath, whether she agrees or not, you must remember to tell me."

Yuchuan frowned and said, "What does it have to do with us whether he agrees or not? Why is my sister asking this? Did Master instruct you to do so?"

"How could it be?" Jin Chuan denied it flatly. "Although the Second Wife has obeyed Master, it is hard to say who she supports in her heart. We have to be on guard for Master!"

It’s not that she didn’t trust her sister, but she was worried that she might let the cat out of the bag.

Yuchuan knew that her sister still bore a grudge against Lady Wang, and thought she was trying to flatter Lady Wang.

Without any doubt, he replied, "Don't worry, sister. I will keep an eye on it."
