The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 445: Keep People Away
Although Xue Pan was a heavy drinker, he was mindful of the important matters this time.

However, the hall was packed with distinguished guests, and Zhang Yunyi could not even sit at the same table with them, let alone entertain them.

They only walked around the venue once and toasted each table with a glass of wine.

With everyone watching, Xue Pan couldn't possibly help Baochai get together at this time, so he could only sit at the same table with Jia She and Jia Lian, watching Zhang Yun逸, Prince Zhongshun and others toasting each other.

Seeing that he always looked at Zhang Yunyi's table intentionally or unintentionally, Jia Lian smiled and said, "By the way! I heard that it was Brother Yi who helped this time?"

"That's not true!" Xue Pan said with a hint of pride, "If it weren't for Brother Yi's plea, why would the Emperor have asked about it?"

The Xue family was originally relatives of the second branch. Now that Jia Zheng has offended Zhang Yunyi, Jia She no longer likes Xue Pan as much as before.

But after hearing this, he couldn't help but look sideways and asked: "Did this disturb the Holy Emperor?"

"Of course, I haven't even been to the court yet!" Xue Pan pouted at Li Mingyuan who was not far away and said, "It was Master Li who sent a car to take me back!"

As if he had noticed Xue Pan's gaze, Li Mingyuan actually ran over with a wine glass in hand.

"Master Xue, I apologize for offending you before!"

After saying that, he raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp.

Although Xue Pan was a bit confused, he knew that the other party was doing this for Zhang Yunyi's sake, so he quickly stood up, straightened his back, raised his glass and said, "No, no! Thank you, Lord Li, for taking care of me!"

After Li Mingyuan left, Jia She squinted his eyes and said, "It seems that you have a close relationship with Yun Yi!"

Xue Pan couldn't help scratching his head. When it came to talking about friendship, he didn't know where to start.

If I think about it carefully, I didn't have much contact with Zhang Yun逸, but I did offend him. I can only think that he was magnanimous.

Jia She noticed his behavior and felt that there was something else going on.

Jia She seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't reveal it. He just smiled and said, "I have recently held an exchange meeting. If Wenlong is interested, why not come and join in the fun!"

Although Xue Pan's identity was not high enough for him to recruit, since Zhang Yunyi had even alarmed the emperor in order to save him, he would be a rare treasure.

After all, Li Mingyuan's attitude is there, and I'm afraid many people know about this.

If he was also brought into the exchange meeting, it could also prove from the side that his relationship with Zhang Yun逸 was not affected by Jia Zheng.

Xue Pan understood what he meant when he heard this and said, "Could it be that..."

Jia She laughed and said, "Wenlong really understood it immediately!"

"How can I be left out of this matter? When will I be the only one who speaks?"

"That's great!" Jia She raised his glass and said with a smile.

The two men clinked their glasses. Jia She glanced at Jia Lian, who remained silent, and scolded him, "You bastard! Look at Wen Long. I asked you to show your support, but you refused!"

All things are difficult at the beginning. When he was just starting out, in order to build up his influence, he also considered using Jia Lian as his opponent.

However, Jia Lian had a lot of grievances, so how could he dare to attend such a party?

Therefore, he made all kinds of excuses, which made Jia She very unhappy.

Now he brings up the old matter again and uses it to criticize him.

As if he still felt that his anger was not relieved, Jia She continued to grumble, "How can you be like me? You have two concubines in your house, and they were transferred from Zhen Ge'er's house. How come you have become a stingy person and don't want to spend a penny? Look at your petty mind. It's not like I don't have anyone to exchange with you. I want to eat and take advantage of you for free!"

A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a secret lover, and a secret lover is not as good as not being able to steal at all.

Jia She didn't simply want Jia Lian to support him. He had also been coveting Jia Zhen's concubine for a long time.

However, he was too embarrassed to speak to Jia Lian directly.

Originally, she thought that she could kill two birds with one stone and exchange items with her son, but Jia Lian was unmoved.

Xue Pan smiled and said, "Uncle, you know that my cousin is very strict!"

Jia Lian smiled awkwardly, which was also his excuse for shirking the responsibility.

However, when Wang Xifeng was mentioned, Jia She became even more furious and cursed: "Look at your lack of ability! You can't even subdue a woman, and you still have the nerve to talk! She is just relying on the support of her brother and sister-in-law, and now you are still afraid of her!"

Jia Lian thought to himself, she was not relying on Mrs. Wang to support her, it was clearly Zhang Yunyi who was supporting her from behind.

But she said, "I'm pregnant now, and my son is worried that I might have a miscarriage, so I'm just being accommodating!"

After he said this, Jia She calmed down a little, stopped pestering him, and started chatting with Xue Pan instead.

The two of them were drinking and chatting, and Xue Pan forgot about the business after a few drinks. When the banquet was over, he and Jia She left Ning Mansion, swaying, arm in arm, and whispering. ...

"You guys go back first! I still need to talk to Brother Yi for a few words."

The banquet in the front yard was over, but Lady Jia in the back yard stayed and refused to leave.

However, although the situation is stronger than the person and he has to bow his head and submit, he cannot let the younger generations see it.

So after she sent the people back, she found Youshi and said, "Zhen's daughter-in-law, you are also one of us. I'd like to trouble you to help tell Yi'er to come and have a talk."

Although she had lowered her attitude, the words "Zhen's daughter-in-law" still made Youshi quite unhappy.

She thought to herself, when that short-lived Jia Zhen was still alive, you never even looked at me in the eye, but now that he's dead, you're talking about him.

He said, "Old lady, please go back! Brother Yi said that it's useless to talk now. It's better to wait until there is a final conclusion. It won't be too late for the old lady to come back, so as to avoid being fickle again."

If the house was just filled with guests, there might still be a possibility of a reversal, but the emperor also sent people over, so how could Lady Jia dare to hope for anything?

She secretly complained in her heart, but said: "The right and wrong are obvious. It's just a case of the second brother biting the second brother, what are we waiting for the final conclusion?"

Although Zhang Yunyi has captured the two wives, if he wants to escape from the Jia family, Grandmother Jia's attitude is particularly crucial. Youshi vented her anger and didn't want to make things too awkward, so she said, "Forget it! I'll go ask, but I can't say whether Brother Yi is willing to see me or not!"

When she came out of the side hall, she saw Zhang Yunyi coming back from the front yard. She hurried forward and repeated what Lady Jia had meant.

Zhang Yunyi waved his hand and said, "Go tell the old lady that I tried my best to persuade her but she refused to listen. Since she wants to wait, she can wait until there is a result. Then she can come back and see her again."

Although Lady Jia had already surrendered and even been a little humble, it was obviously still insufficient compared to his plan.

According to Gu Dashou, confiscating the Zhen family’s property would be the least of their worries.

Compared with the Zhen family, the Rongguo Mansion is obviously inferior. As long as this news reaches Lady Jia's ears, it will be enough to serve as a deterrent.

When the time comes, facing the survival of the family and the fate of his beloved grandson Jia Baoyu, all face will be nothing.

You turned and left, and Zhang Yun逸 was about to walk to the flower hall to meet You Erjie and others.

Suddenly, he saw Jiao Xing standing on the corridor, looking at him with something to say but hesitant.

Seeing Zhang Yunyi looking at her, Jiao Xing's face flushed. She swallowed hard and took out a longevity lock from her bosom. She stretched out her hand and handed it to her. She said shyly, "I don't know what to give you, so I made a longevity lock!"

Jiao Xing already lives in the mansion, so she can just put the baby on directly. Why go through so much trouble and hand it to Zhang Yunyi?
However, the night before yesterday, Zhang Yunyi went to Xiangling's room again. Jiao Xing had been listening for most of an hour and was just about to calm down.

Unexpectedly, just as she took a breath, the noise from the other side was heard again.

After Zhang Yunyi calmed Xiangling down, he turned his gun around and calmed Jinchuan down.

This made her whole body tremble uncontrollably, and even the flame that was almost extinguished in her heart was rekindled.

Since Xiangling can't handle it alone, there is no question of someone snatching her sister away.

Originally, she was worried about not being able to complete Jia Yucun's instructions, but she gave up because of Xiangling's feelings.

She heard clearly what Youshi said just now, and with what she saw and heard today, she finally understood Jia Yucun's profound meaning.

Therefore, he gave Zhang Yun逸 hints in different ways.

How could Zhang Yunyi not see that she was going the far way instead of the near?

Although Gu Dashou's words also gave him a side understanding of the attitudes of King Qin and himself towards Jia Yucun, his words were not without reason.

People like Jia Yucun are good at judging the situation and can use it just right if they are used correctly.

He has no shortage of women right now, so why would he make enemies just because of Jiao Xing?

So, he took the still warm gold locket and said politely, "Thank you very much, sister-in-law. I'll take it in and put it on the child right away!"

He paused for a moment and said, "Brother Yucun is doing well in the south, so sister-in-law doesn't have to worry about you!"

After saying that, he turned and walked into the flower hall.

Jiao Xing couldn't help but tremble when she heard this, and her face was suddenly filled with shame. She stared at Zhang Yunyi's back in a daze, speechless, and hesitant to speak.

But after hesitating for a long time, he still didn't explain.
