The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 447 The mantis stalks the cicada
After Aunt Xue left, before Xue Pan could say anything, Zhang Yunyi raised his glass and said, "Come on! Let's get drunk!"

Last time, Aunt Xue was already ready when it only took him time to pee. Of course, he didn't want to waste time here with Xue Pan.

Xue Pan had no choice but to swallow back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

This interruption made him forget the words he had prepared, and he smiled and said, "I heard from the master a while ago that his exchange meeting was your idea?"

He didn't seem to intend to confirm with Zhang Yunyi, and said to himself: "No wonder you never go to brothels, it turns out you like them! But that's true, those girls in brothels are all obsessed with money, they only know how to flatter, how can they be as interesting as those decent girls who are willing to accept you!"

Seeing him shaking his head and talking with great interest, Zhang Yunyi couldn't help but think of Aunt Xue's reluctant look when facing the portrait, and he became more and more itchy.

But he remained calm and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. He wanted to go to Prince Zhongshun's Palace, but his status was not high enough, so I gave him this idea!"

At this point, he raised his glass and said, "Let's drink!"

Although he wanted to shut Xue Pan up with wine, he was still not satisfied.

While toasting, he did not forget to ask questions: "He is not of high status, but you are a distinguished guest of Zhongshun Palace. I heard that there is an actor named Qi Guan in Zhongshun Palace, who is a man with a female appearance. If you have the chance, please help introduce him to me!"

Zhang Yunyi said perfunctorily: "Let's talk about it when we have a chance!"

Xue Pan was overjoyed and quickly drank another glass.

"Then I'll thank you in advance..."

Before he finished speaking, he had already laid down on the table.

Zhang Yunyi then walked up to him, pushed him a few times, and seeing that he was snoring like a dead pig, he carried him on his back just like last time.

After leaving the side hall, he nodded to Tongxi and Tonggui outside the door and said, "Wenlong is drunk. I'll send him back. You guys go with him and take good care of him!"

This time he didn't need to lead the way. He carried Xue Pan on his back and went straight to the room. However, he didn't notice that a head popped out from the front of the Xue family's courtyard, watching his receding back, and then tiptoed into the second door.

Zhang Yunyi never thought that there was a yellow bird following him.

Although he had just sneered at Xue Pan, it also aroused his evil taste, because he thought that Aunt Xue had drunk a lot of wine and might be half asleep after waiting for a long time, so he became playful.

He closed the door quietly and tiptoed into the inner room.

Sure enough, I saw Aunt Xue, dressed neatly in black, lying flat on the bed with a portrait in her arms.

He opened his clothes and touched it lightly.

……

Ever since the last hundred-day banquet, Mrs. Wang has been paying attention to the Xue family.

Aunt Xue wanted to show off her family's closeness to Zhang Yun逸, and Xue Pan was also a big mouth.

Unintentionally, she learned in advance that Zhang Yunyi was coming to the banquet.

So he ate dinner early and wandered in front of the Xue family's gate, waiting for something to happen.

Firstly, it was just groundless speculation after all. Secondly, he was worried that Aunt Xue would be too embarrassed or unwilling to share the profits with others and let him take advantage of her.

So he thought of another way to make it impossible for her to refuse.

Anyway, even if the judgment was wrong and Zhang Yunyi saw him, he could still meet him in private and show off in front of him to earn some favor.

However, lying at the second gate and looking at the empty backyard of the Xue family, she became more and more certain that her guess was almost right.

Sure enough, Zhang Yunyi came out of Xue Pan's room with his arms swinging. He did not go to the second door, but went straight into his sister's room.

Mrs. Wang waited for a moment before entering the second door and cautiously coming to the window of Aunt Xue's room.

"Ah!" I had just squatted under the window when I suddenly heard a quick cry.

The sound was short and rapid, and it was obviously because someone covered her mouth before it stopped abruptly. She was just beginning to get suspicious when she heard Zhang Yunyi's voice: "Don't panic! It's me! Hold it tight, don't let it break!"

She was confused, yet seemed to understand.

When the breathing sounds inside gradually became rapid, Fang slowly stood up, rubbed his numb legs, and moved towards the main room.

I originally wanted to give it a try, but I didn't expect that the door of the main room would open a crack when I pushed it lightly.

Mrs. Wang was overjoyed. She slowly opened the door a crack just big enough for her to pass through, and then stepped sideways carefully into the house.

Then he slowly closed the door. She spat inwardly, as she expected, he was so impatient that he didn't even have time to lock the door.

After a slight hesitation, she did not fasten the bolt, but walked directly to the door of the inner room.

After standing in front of the door and listening for about a cup of tea, Fang took a deep breath, calmed down a little, stepped back a few steps, and suddenly said, "Why is there no servant in this yard? Is my sister in the house? I want to talk to you about something!"

This sound, like a thunderclap, rang in Aunt Xue's ears.

She struggled frantically but dared not make any noise, and looked at Zhang Yunyi in horror.

However, no matter how she struggled, Zhang Yunyi had no intention of letting go. Instead, he became even more relentless.

Aunt Xue wanted to die when she saw this, but she didn't think of any other possibilities.

But suddenly he remembered Xue Pan's nonsense at the wine table, and sighed in his heart. Sure enough, his son was right. The more he struggled...

She quickly gave up any unnecessary actions that might have the opposite effect, and tried to slow down her tone as much as possible, "Sister... Sister, wait a moment! I'll give it to you..."

She originally thought that she could delay as long as possible, but before she could say the word "open the door", the door suddenly opened. She was caught off guard and was stunned, staring at Mrs. Wang who walked into the room.

Aunt Xue recognized Mrs. Wang's voice, and Zhang Yunyi could naturally tell it apart as well. And the only person who could call her sister was Mrs. Wang.

I was still thinking about when to activate this bond, but now that Mrs. Wang has brought it to my door, it actually saves me some trouble.

Aunt Xue had no idea that he was so confident. Her mind went blank and she didn't know how to respond. However, she saw that Madam Wang didn't look ashamed or angry. She just said with a little embarrassment, "Yun... Yun Yi is here too! Oh! Why didn't you even close the door!"

Before Aunt Xue could react, she heard Zhang Yunyi snort coldly, "Why don't you go and close the door?"

Her heart trembled, but she saw that Mrs. Wang said nothing and quickly walked out of the room.

Then, the sound of the door being bolted was heard.

"This……"

She looked at Zhang Yunyi, who was grunting but had a calm expression, in a daze, and calmed herself down a little.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the portrait in his hand and heard footsteps approaching. Without caring whether it would cause Zhang Yunyi's dissatisfaction, he quickly stuffed the portrait into the quilt.

Just after hiding the portrait, I heard Mrs. Wang's voice behind me: "If I had known that my sister was one of us... Last time we went to the hot spring villa, we could have covered for each other and kept each other company... and there wouldn't have been such a misunderstanding..."

After hearing this, Aunt Xue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The pot calling the kettle black. Before she could explain that she was not as early as Madam Wang said, she heard Zhang Yunyi hurriedly ask, "Then what are you waiting for?"

Only then did she realize the hidden meaning of Mrs. Wang's words, which were to cover up for each other and remain companions.

Just as he was wondering whether Mrs. Wang would be too embarrassed to do so, he heard her nod in agreement.

He couldn't wait to untie the restraints around his waist and pressed himself against Zhang Yunyi.

Seeing that her own sister didn't care about her face, she finally let go of the worry in her heart and just glanced guiltily at the quilt on the inside of the bed.
