The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 423 Confession
After leaving Linshui Pavilion, Third Sister You said indignantly, "We were worried all the way, but he still had the mind to flirt with us. If you want to ask him, ask him. I'm going back to my room first!"

After saying that, she went straight to Doufengxuan without looking back.

Although the situation in Linshui Pavilion was beyond everyone's expectations, they couldn't help but feel relieved that Zhang Yunyi was still interested in flirting.

Since I don't know how much Aunt Xue knows, and I don't know whether something really happened to Xue Pan, I don't want to say too much.

Aunt Xue was present at Linshui Pavilion, so it was not convenient to ask.

But when he returned to Dengxian Pavilion, he began to torture Jinchuan.

"Many students from Jiangnan came and said they wanted to impeach you. We all heard the news outside the city. You stay at home all day, don't you know?"

"Impeach my master?" Jin Chuan suddenly woke up from her dream and asked, "Could it be that you are in the same camp as that ungrateful guy from the West Mansion?"

"Who?" Qin Keqing asked hurriedly.

"Isn't he the second master of the West Mansion? Before the eldest master came back, he went to the West Mansion and confronted the old lady face to face!"

As Jin Chuan spoke, she hurried to the room under the stairs, took out a memorial and handed it to everyone.

Qin Keqing snatched it away, and after reading it, she passed it to Youshi, saying without disguising her inner disgust, "There really isn't a single good person in this Jia family. They say one thing to your face and another behind your back. When you ask for help, they clean up the Second Madam and send her to the Master, and they're humble and submissive, but now they're adding insult to injury!"

Upon hearing this, You Erjie and Qingwen's eyes lit up and they looked at Qin Keqing with gossipy expressions.

Xiangling and Liu Wu'er obviously hadn't come to their senses yet. They lowered their heads in confusion for a while, then looked at her in horror.

Yu Shi glanced at the memorial and asked with an unpleasant expression, "What did Yun Yi say?"

Although Zhang Yunyi had promised to take her as his concubine after the mourning period for his father was over, she was still known as the daughter-in-law of the Jia family.

"My master didn't have time to tell me! I went to the palace today and brought this back. I also went to the West Palace..."

When they heard that the memorial was brought back from the palace, Youshi and others felt relieved.

Seeing that Jin Chuan couldn't get any answers here, he turned to gossip and asked, "How soon will it be a concubine's wife?"

"How soon?" Jin Chuan murmured to herself, then reacted.

She did not hide anything and recounted the whole story in a simple manner, only skipping the preparations she had made. She changed the story to say that Xue Pan had committed a crime, Zhang Yunyi went to Rong Mansion to question him, and was caught by Aunt Xue, so he came to ask for help.

But Youshi didn't believe it at all and shouted, "Don't fool me! That nightgown is obviously made according to the concubine's figure, how could it be put on today?"

"What this servant said is absolutely true!"

Seeing that she could no longer conceal the truth, Jin Chuan had to tell the whole story, explaining the whole cause and effect.

At the end, she added: "I think that the concubine is suffering from holding back, and the master has this idea, so it's a perfect match..."

After saying this, she raised her head anxiously.

But Qin Keqing winked at her and said with a smile: "You are really good at coaxing people and you know how to please them!"

She immediately felt relieved and said carefully, "It is my duty to satisfy you, Master..."

Everyone chatted about this and that and asked about the details for a while.

About half an hour later, Zhang Yunyi finally arrived at the Dengxian Pavilion.

As soon as he entered the room, he ordered Jinchuan, "Go! Ask someone to get some water and send it over. Let the concubine wash before returning!"

Qin Keqing said with a smile: "Since she is here, why rush to leave? Uncle, why not ask her to stay for two days."

Zhang Yunyi touched his nose awkwardly and quickly changed the subject: "Why are you back?"

After he asked this, Qin Keqing stopped joking.

"If we hadn't heard from Aunt Wu, we would still be in the dark!"

At that moment, everyone talked at once and told the story.

You Shi hurriedly asked, "What did the emperor say?"

"What can happen?" Zhang Yunyi waved his hand and said calmly, "Everyone who follows the trend and writes a letter will get into trouble!"

He thought for a moment and added, "Just keep it in mind, don't spread it around!" "How is uncle going to deal with the West Mansion?" Qin Keqing asked impatiently, "We have to teach them a lesson this time so they will remember it!"

Zhang Yunyi nodded, but said: "Now is not the time..."

He roughly recounted the Emperor's request to deal with the remaining issues concerning Yuanchun's marriage himself.

"The Emperor didn't want to make a big deal out of this, so he gave me the memorial..."

When Qin Keqing heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed across her face, and then her eyes lit up. She looked at Zhang Yunyi, then at Youshi, and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

Zhang Yunyi saw it and understood what she meant.

Qin Keqing knew about Lady Xing and Lady Wang, and she just wanted him to follow the example of the Ningguo Mansion and take over their own place.

This was indeed in line with his thoughts, and he nodded calmly.

But he said: "Although we have to wait until the result of the disposal comes out, we have to remind the old lady first!"

The reason why he was so persistent and gave Aunt Xue a severe beating was not simply because he was still not satisfied.

Before this, he was so excited about the prey that he forgot about the ginseng for a moment.

After being reminded by Jin Chuan and Aunt Xue, he finally remembered.

Although it was confirmed by Zhang Dehui and Shuntian Prefecture that the fake ginseng sold was the result of the shop assistant deceiving his superiors and subordinates, the ginseng that belonged to Lady Jia were also confiscated along with it. After all, this matter was handled by Aunt Xue.

Since Lady Jia refused to accept the toast, he thought about asking around to see if he could involve Lady Jia in the matter.

Although Lady Jia did everything perfectly, there was still room for improvement.

After all, Wang Xifeng had reported the problem of that batch of ginseng to Lady Jia, and both he and Lady Jia knew it well.

If the case were brought to court, Grandmother Jia would still be able to deny it.

But Zhang Yun逸 didn't need to go through so much trouble. He could just report the whole story to the emperor.

On the one hand, Emperor Zhengqing had intended to let him control the Rongguo Mansion. As long as he could take advantage of the situation, even if it was just to give Lady Jia a slight warning, Lady Jia's confidence would be weakened when facing Zhang Yunyi in the future.

On the other hand, although the case of fake ginseng is clear, and the Xue family is at most lax in their control, there is no guarantee that they will not be held accountable and used as an excuse to make trouble.

If I can get a clear pass from the emperor, I won't have to worry about this anymore.

At that moment, Zhang Yun逸 asked Qingwen to grind ink, and in front of Qin Keqing and others, he wrote the memorial and blew dry the ink.

"Haha!" Qin Keqing sneered, "The old lady is usually so righteous, but she is so mean!"

"A penny can kill a hero, let alone her?"

As they were talking, Jin Chuan came back and reported, "Master! The concubine has been sent back!"

She hesitated for a moment, then continued, "My aunt said that Master agreed to have someone take her to Shuntian Mansion to see Master Xue tomorrow..."

"Ok!"

Zhang Yunyi nodded, handed her the memorial he had just written and said, "Tell Xier to take her to Shuntian Prefecture tomorrow, and then ask him to deliver this memorial to the palace and give it to Eunuch Zhou, and ask him to help present it to the emperor!"

Shuntian Prefecture needs to wait and see, and he also needs to conceal the emperor's attitude first, so as to prevent Ning Wang's faction from being on guard.

In addition, since the matter of fake ginseng has been reported to the emperor, we have to wait for the emperor's order on how to deal with it.

Therefore, he did not plan to rescue Xue Pan immediately.

Anyway, Li Mingyuan has already made arrangements, and Xue Pan won't suffer, so it's better to let him stay in jail for a while.

Having said that, Aunt Xue was still worried. She would not feel at ease unless she was allowed to meet Xue Pan.

Hence, this arrangement was made.
