The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 407 Concealment

“Ohhhh!~”

"Madam, please keep your voice down, or no one will hear you!"

In the northeast corner, in the bathroom of the Xue family courtyard, Jin Chuan smiled and took her hands out of the bathtub, shaking off the water stains on her hands without making a sound.

The water drops hit Aunt Xue's face. She came to her senses, blushed, and said with embarrassment, "You kid, you said you would only help me take a bath, why did you do it again?"

Jin Chuan walked around behind Aunt Xue, a hint of sarcasm flashed across her face, and she pressed her hands into the ravine, smiling, "Madam, please put your heart at ease! I have also served you like this, how can I not understand your feelings?"

Jin Chuan did not lie, but Aunt Xue had no idea that she was not in Lady Wang's room, but when Zhang Yunyi was too busy to be with her.

When Aunt Xue heard that her sister, Lady Wang, had also experienced such a thing, her guilt and anxiety were alleviated a lot.

He praised: "You kid... you are really good at guessing the master's intentions!"

Jin Chuan glanced with contempt at Aunt Xue who was slumped in the bathtub, and secretly complained in her heart, "It's true that she knows how to guess her master's mind, but she is not one of you sisters."

But she said, "That's right! Aunt You is about to give birth in the next few days. When there is news from there, I will also go to the villa with Master Zhen. Why don't you take this opportunity to accompany Madam and go together? The warm water will make your bones and muscles numb. If I can serve you comfortably, the effect will surely be doubled, and you will be more than ten years younger."

Although Zhen Shiyin did not go with them, as Youshi was about to give birth, she needed a doctor to take charge, and he was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

Last time, Jin Chuan didn't ask Zhang Yunyi, but this time she had an idea in her mind and came over to instigate him.

Aunt Xue had no idea that she had evil intentions.

She had hoped to get close to Zhang Yunyi by means of congratulations, and she was so moved by Jin Chuan's service that she had no choice but to nod. How could she refuse?

Jin Chuan knew the principle of striking while the iron is hot, so she hurriedly helped Aunt Xue out of the bathtub, carefully dried her body, and after she put on her clothes, she said goodbye, "Then I will not delay Aunt Xue from going to greet Madam."

As she was about to give birth, it was better to catch a ride sooner rather than later, so Aunt Xue went straight to Rong Xi Tang.

The two sisters held hands and sat down on the kang. Aunt Xue got straight to the point and said, "I heard that Aunt You in Yi'er's room is about to give birth. I want to accompany you and go over to congratulate you!"

Mrs. Wang's mouth twitched, and she patted Aunt Xue's chubby hand, smiling, "Anyway, the baby is one month old, and we have to come and congratulate him. Why do you have to make this trip and run back and forth?"

Aunt Xue was a little surprised when she heard this. She thought that Mrs. Wang would be eager for her to keep her company, but she didn't expect that she would actually persuade her to do so.

She was puzzled and hesitated for a moment before she said in a roundabout way, "It's been a season change recently and I feel a little tired and lack energy. I heard that the warm water in the manor has some effect in relieving fatigue, so I'd like to take this opportunity to go and have a bath with my sister to relieve some fatigue."

"This..." Madam Wang's face flashed with resentment. She exhaled heavily and said insincerely, "You don't know that this round trip is at least 20 or 30 miles. I don't plan to go. I will go to congratulate the baby when he is one month old."

She was afraid that the reason was not sufficient, so she added: "The manor is still outside the city. If you miss the time, you can't return to the city. Now that the master is not at home, it's better to avoid it!"

Yuchuan, who was standing by, heard it all clearly and looked up at Madam Wang in surprise.

Mrs. Wang was filled with annoyance and did not notice Yuchuan's strange look.

If Aunt Xue hadn't interfered, she would naturally have been eager for such a legitimate opportunity.

But Aunt Xue insisted on having her accompany her.

Not to mention, with Aunt Xue present, there was no chance to touch it secretly.

Every failure makes one wiser. Back then at the hot spring villa, Jinchuan and Yuchuan had caught their good fortune in vain.

After all, Jinchuan and Yuchuan were maids serving her and Zhang Yunyi, so they could still hide it.

But if Aunt Xue caught her, how would she ever be able to hold her head up high?

It would be fine if it affected his reputation, after all, this was something Jia Zheng tacitly approved of, and Aunt Xue was his sister, so he wouldn't gossip about her.

But she still hoped to marry into the Xue family, which affected Jia Baoyu's marriage, and she regretted it too late.

Unfortunately, Zhang Yunyi was a person who would not hesitate when he was in a good mood, so she could only give up this legitimate opportunity. Mrs. Wang had said so much, and Aunt Xue's widowhood had to avoid being in the same boat with others. Although she was unwilling, she had to give up.

Just at this moment, Caixia came in and reported: "The old lady wants you to come over!"

This gave Madam Wang an excuse to see the guest off, so she quickly stood up and said, "I'll be right there!"

"Madam, please ask Caixia to accompany you to the old lady's place! I have something to do and need to go home."

If it were any other maid, they would not dare to say such words, but Yuchuan didn't care.

She did not forget Jin Chuan's instructions and hurried to report the news.

Mrs. Wang didn't think too much about it. She nodded and said, "Then you can send my concubine off on my behalf!"

After seeing Aunt Xue off, Mrs. Wang moved to Rongqing Hall and found that Mrs. Xing had also arrived.

Before she could even salute, Grandmother Jia greeted her, "You've come just in time! I sent someone to ask, and the second sister of the You family is about to give birth. Brother Yi will send someone to pick up Mr. Zhen at that time. I asked him to let us know on the way, so I won't go. You two can go there on my behalf and congratulate him."

Mrs. Wang was stunned. She had just sent Aunt Xue away, but she didn't expect Grandmother Jia to come again.

Before she could say anything, Madam Xing hurriedly said, "Don't worry, old lady, I will definitely go there!"

Mrs. Wang hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly said, "I won't go! It's fine if the eldest master is at home, but now that the master is not at home, it's better to avoid it!"

"You are so confused!" Jia's mother shouted, "What's wrong with you not being at home? Do you think you will stop moving around when you are not at home? Who would suspect you of anything? Since I asked you to come over, if the second son has any complaints when he comes back, just tell him to come to me!"

"This..." Mrs. Wang was in a dilemma.

Mrs. Xing smiled and said, "Since the Second Madam doesn't want to go, why should the Old Madam force her? Don't you still have me? We are a family, so it's fine if the intention is expressed. If not, ask the Second Madam to prepare a gift and I'll take it to her."

Mrs. Wang was worried about being spied on, so didn’t Mrs. Xing have the same worry?
Therefore, I am happy to go alone.

Mrs. Wang was overjoyed and quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, yes!"

"No!" Jia's mother said without question, "It's settled, you all go together!"

Firstly, Zhang Yun逸 was deeply in love with Yingchun, and Yuanchun had already lost the initiative. How could Lady Jia allow Mrs. Wang to be passive and lazy?

Let the eldest wife have all this favor?
Secondly, Grandmother Jia was also worried that Jia She and Lady Xing had some ulterior motives, so letting Lady Wang go with them was also meant to provide a check and balance.

In front of Mrs. Wang, even if Mrs. Xing had some secret thoughts, she couldn't reveal them.

Of course, this was also the reason why she didn't let Mrs. Wang go alone.

Besides being worried about deliberately leaving out the first wife and letting Zhang Yunyi know, it would cause complications.

She also suspected that Jia Zheng had given instructions to Lady Wang, so she was worried that she was secretly making trouble and sabotaging Yuanchun's marriage. That's why she called Lady Xing along as well, so that the two of them could check and balance each other.

After all, it was a normal human interaction, so Lady Jia could not question it and Mrs. Wang could not refuse.

I had no choice but to agree: "Since the old lady said so, I will do as you say."

Mrs. Wang had lived in the hot spring villa for some time and knew the layout of the villa.

I thought to myself that if we were traveling alone, we could live at two ends of the yard, so the risk of being exposed would not be too great.

But if there was another Aunt Xue, and the three of them lived in the same yard, the risk of exposure would undoubtedly be greatly increased.

After returning, she thought about it over and over again, and was still worried about being exposed, so not only did she not invite Aunt Xue to go with her, but she kept the matter secret.
