The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 448: Plastic sisters in the same boat
"Squeak!"

A dark shadow pushed the door open and walked out.

Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue in the room lay on their backs with their legs spread out, their bodies lying on the ground, until their breathing gradually subsided.

The two sisters were silent for a long time.

Madam Wang was the first to break the silence and said, "I know that my brother-in-law passed away early. You have been a widow for many years and you feel very bitter. This dry wood and raging fire can easily ignite, especially when Yun Yi is so vigorous..."

At this point, she swallowed her saliva and said earnestly, "But you should be more careful. You don't even have a maid to guard the door. It's a good thing that I met you this time. If Wenlong and Bao saw you, would you still be alive? Next time Yunyi comes, tell me and I will cover for you and let Yuchuan guard outside. It's better than you being naked."

She originally planned to leave with Zhang Yunyi after the matter was done, so as to get definite news.

Unexpectedly, he was so addicted and enjoyed it so much that it was almost dawn.

Firstly, if she went out now, she might run into a servant who had gotten up early and she wouldn't be able to explain herself. Besides, she felt so weak and numb that she didn't want to move.

Secondly, realizing that he had catered to Zhang Yunyi's interests, he thought about staying and striking while the iron was hot to finalize the follow-up matters first, so as not to worry about not having other opportunities later.

"Sister, you're right! When Zi Wenlong was arrested, I was at a loss." Aunt Xue took advantage of the situation and explained a little, but then changed the subject, "But, sister, why?"

Just from Mrs. Wang's familiarity, Aunt Xue could tell that she was there before her.

It's not like Aunt Xue is just the pot calling the kettle black.

Although they are competing on the same field and are in the same boat, it is still a shameful matter that cannot be seen in public and is detrimental to their reputation.

You have to find a reasonable excuse for your behavior.

In addition, I would also like to remind Mrs. Wang that we are all the same and no one should blame anyone else.

"Hey!~ Don't mention it. Last year, your brother-in-law was trying to get a job as an education official in a remote area..."

How could Mrs. Wang not hear the hidden meaning in this statement?

If the situation wasn't stronger than she was, she would have to take advantage of Aunt Xue and wouldn't have fallen out with her. She even felt a little angry.

Now, he could only tell the story half-truthfully, about how Jia Zheng offered his wife to seek an official position and how he was forced to do so.

At the end, he added: "Otherwise, why would he entrust this family to Yun Yi when he left?"

Aunt Xue was speechless after hearing these words. She was stunned for a long while before she asked doubtfully, "If it's my brother-in-law's idea, then...then why did he return it?"

"What other reason could there be? It's nothing more than that he got the official position, and he felt guilty. When he saw someone impeaching him, he thought he could add insult to injury and redeem himself. He wanted to save face!~"

Mrs. Wang was puzzled by Jia Zheng's actions, and finally came to this conclusion based on her understanding of his character.

Mrs. Wang had solid reasons and spoke in a serious manner. Moreover, when Jia Zheng was at home, she went to the Hot Spring Villa alone and stayed there for several days. Aunt Xue could not help but believe it.

"Still...can it still be like this?"

Madam Wang glanced at her sister and sighed, "So! If you ask me, it's better for you to be like this. If you die, I won't have to worry about you anymore. Unlike me, I still have to clean up his mess!"

Aunt Xue suddenly felt like she had shot herself in the foot.

Originally, she still had a certain psychological advantage when facing Mrs. Wang.

After all, in her situation, to put it bluntly, she couldn't keep herself from being cheated on, while Wang Fu-ren was actually cuckolding Jia Zheng.

Unexpectedly, this hat was not given to him by Mrs. Wang, but he put it on his own head on his own initiative.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Mrs. Wang saw this and was understanding, so she comforted him, "This is human nature! Although my sister-in-law is gone, Wenlong and Bao-ya-tou are still married, so we have to cover up a little. You don't have a maid to watch for you, so next time you can ask me, not only can we cover up for each other, but you can also ask Yuchuan to watch outside to avoid any more trouble."

Mrs. Wang brought up the old matter again and considered it from her perspective, so Aunt Xue had no choice but to give in. Although she didn't know Mrs. Wang's true thoughts, she could detect some clues from her actions and words.

Jia Zheng stabbed Zhang Yunyi in the back and annoyed him, so didn't he need his sister to help him calm down?
Speaking of which, although the description of my sister wiping someone's butt was inappropriate, it was quite vivid. However, it was not for Jia Zheng, nor was it for... but for Zhang Yunyi...

It was hard for her sister, who was so spoiled and pampered that she could actually do such a thing. She felt a little bit sorry for it.

Having said that, sympathy is sympathy, but after managing a household for a long time, one will inevitably develop business habits and always be accustomed to maximizing profits.

So he said, "I know my sister is doing this for my own good, but given the current situation, I am embarrassed to bring up the marriage of our two children. It would be better to call it quits. What do you think?"

Times have changed. Now that the Xue family has hooked up with Zhang Yunyi, their own family is in danger. Mrs. Wang no longer has the capital to threaten the Xue family, and instead hopes to ride on Aunt Xue's coattails.

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to give in: "Forget it! Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. We have been working like slaves for a long time, which is enough. Let's stop worrying about this."

"Huh!~"

It was always better to avoid a falling out. Aunt Xue agreed and said hurriedly, "Sister, look...it's getting late..."

She wanted to see the guest off, but Mrs. Wang was too lazy to move.

"It's almost dawn, I can just stay here with you for a while. We sisters can live together from time to time, and no one will get suspicious."

As she spoke, she grabbed the corner of the quilt, threw it over her body, and exclaimed, "Ouch! What is this hard thing?"

Aunt Xue thought to herself, what you fear is bound to come true, but then she saw that Mrs. Wang had already lifted the quilt.

When Mrs. Wang saw the photo frame in the quilt, she was also stunned.

As she did so, she happened to roll up the photo frame and only touched the border. She thought it was something unspeakable, but she didn't expect it to be a photo frame.

When she saw the portrait clearly, Mrs. Wang's face suddenly became strange.

At this moment, she just remembered that when she first entered the room, there seemed to be a ray of light flashing past her eyes.

Earlier, Jin Chuan had this experience when she gave him a glass mirror.

However, the light was too weak at the time, and she only thought there were stars flashing before her eyes. Now that she thinks about it, it was probably the glass on the photo frame.

She secretly complained in her heart, but she didn't realize that her sister, in order to please Zhang Yunyi, actually moved out the portrait of her late husband, and even disregarded her sense of shame and played so extravagantly.

Fortunately, she took the initiative to cancel the engagement, so I didn't have to ask for anything.

But he said, "It's hard for you. Although you are humble in front of Yun Yi for Wenlong, you still think of him as your brother-in-law in your heart. No wonder I saw you kneeling in front of Yun Yi, always with your back to him, refusing to look at his face. It turns out that you think of him as your brother-in-law, and you are holding on to this thing, thinking of him!"

Even if Aunt Xue did not take the initiative to break off the engagement, Mrs. Wang would change her mind after seeing this portrait.

But she was still angry, so Aunt Xue took advantage of the situation and made sarcastic remarks whenever she got the chance.

Aunt Xue was already ashamed and embarrassed when Mrs. Wang discovered her secret dealings, and she felt embarrassed. However, although Mrs. Wang was sarcastic, she spoke as if she were praising her, leaving her with no way to refute.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet, snatch the portrait, quickly get out of bed and put it away.

When she climbed back onto the bed, Fang said with embarrassment, "Sister...sister, you are joking."

After saying that, he grabbed the quilt and covered his head with it.

Mrs. Wang sneered to herself, yawned, and suddenly felt very proud of herself. She lay down contentedly.
