The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 459 Grape Rack

When Zhang Yunyi walked into the Grand View Garden, he heard the sound of drums and music from the Grand View Tower and was startled.

Because he wanted to put pressure on Lady Jia and he wasn't sure when the impeachment case would be revealed, he made preparations for both scenarios.

If he failed to deal with the Rongguo Mansion in time, he did not plan to have any more actors perform on the Wanshou Festival, but instead presented an ironclad warship as a gift.

Now, since Lady Jia has already surrendered and he has used the ironclad ship to please the prince, he naturally has to pick up this drama again.

However, things have to be done one by one, so there is no rush to go up now. Instead, the sisters are all in the Grand View Tower, which makes it convenient for him.

Fearing that he would disturb the sisters upstairs if he got too close to the Daguan Tower, he did not go through the corridor in front of the Qinfang Pavilion, but went north from the Fengyao Bridge and came to the Hongxiang Garden.

Before coming here, he was somewhat thankful that Su Yun was present yesterday and only an approximate time was set.

But he didn't see anyone in front of the flower garden. He caught a glimpse of a light coming from the house. He was wondering whether Li Wan was scared away by the light or hadn't arrived yet, but he heard a faint rustling sound behind him.

Zhang Yunyi turned around and saw that on the wooden frame opposite, there were vines crisscrossing and green leaves as broad as palms, layered one after another, like a house made of woven vines. In the gaps, you could vaguely see fruits like pearls, shyly hiding among the leaves.

He thought it was just the sound of the wind and was about to turn around when he saw a head popping out from between the vines. Who else could it be but Li Wan?
Zhang Yunyi was delighted. Although the conditions were limited and he couldn't make a one-to-one reproduction, he could still add a lot of fun.

He quickly walked to the grape trellis, found a gap and crawled in.

As soon as she got into the grape arbor, Li Wan threw herself into his arms like a young swallow. She lingered in his arms for a long time. When she noticed that Zhang Yunyi's big hands were becoming more and more restless, she supported his chest with both hands with difficulty and raised her flushed face.

"Change...change to another place, there are people here..."

Zhang Yunyi reached down with both hands and said in a gentle and persuasive manner, "I just looked outside. It's very well guarded here. It's easy for someone to see you if you go out. With the drums and music covering your eyes, you just need to keep your voice down so that you won't be discovered."

Li Wan's body suddenly tensed up, her legs pressed together tightly, and she stretched straight in his arms, trembling as she said, "This... How is this possible? Even if people outside can't see inside, we can't see outside either. If someone passes by, even if there is loud music and drums, it's impossible..."

“Hey!~”

Zhang Yunyi twisted Li Wan in his arms, hugged her slender waist, and with a dark cloud hanging over her, he leaned over and slowly pressed down.

Then, he held her soft hands, which had nowhere to put, and supported them on the wooden frame.

He secretly thought it was a pity that he had not made any preparations beforehand and could not hang the person up.

But he said, "Although the gap is small, sister-in-law can still see what's going on outside as long as she puts her head closer! If someone passes by, just remind me, and we can keep the noise down so that no one can hear us!"

Things are different now. He is fearless. His sisters are probably in the Grand View Tower, helping with rehearsal. There is no need to worry about being seen by them. Even if they are seen by the servants, it will not be a big deal.

Once you are forced to give in, the bottom line becomes meaningless.

At worst, I can go to Lady Jia and put the matter on the table.

Even Lady Xing, Lady Wang and Lady Jia had to swallow their anger and make compromises. Would they turn against him because of Li Wan?

Moreover, he still remembered that in the original novel, when Wang Xifeng was jealous, Jia's mother said: "Children are young and greedy like cats. How can we guarantee that they will not do this? Everyone has been beaten like this since childhood."

We should not be so hypocritical. It's okay for our own grandson to cheat, but is it not okay for the granddaughter-in-law of Rong Mansion to be cheated?

Li Wan was not as fearless as he was, but her face had already approached the grape vines, and she unconsciously looked out as Zhang Yunyi had instructed.

This moment of oversight allowed Zhang Yun逸 to take advantage of the situation and they no longer had the energy to resist.

All he could do was try his best to suppress his gushing emotions while carefully observing the situation outside.

……

In the Grand View Tower, where drums and music were resounding, the sisters looked listless.

Baochai, Yingchun and Lin Daiyu did not look sad or happy, but Yuanchun, Tanchun and Xiangyun all looked worried.

Zhang Yun逸 seemed to have forgotten about it. He had not set foot in the Grand View Tower for several months, and had not asked about the rehearsal situation.

At first, Yuanchun thought that Zhang Yunyi was shy and was too embarrassed to come to her house because of the impulse in Hanfang Pavilion.

Later, when she heard that Jia Zheng had actually participated in the impeachment of him, she was speechless.

There are no perfect parents in the world. She can only lament her bad fate and do nothing about it.

In addition, she was treated coldly in Ning Mansion at the last Hundred Days Banquet, which made her even more worried and ashamed.

Originally, she had accepted her fate and even stopped rehearsing for a while. Today, she heard that Zhang Yunyi not only came again, but also stayed in Mengpo Zhai and helped to take care of the affairs of the mansion, and she couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.

But Zhang Yunyi had just moved into the mansion when he immediately picked up the rehearsal that had been abandoned for a long time. She was a little hesitant at first, wondering if it would be too materialistic.

Fortunately, Tanchun reminded me that it is not appropriate to hesitate at this time.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at his sister beside him. Seeing that she seemed worried, he couldn't help but shook his head.

Tanchun was the same. She knew that it was not appropriate to continue wasting time at this moment, and she no longer had the intention to compete with Yuanchun.

But she can see through it, while Lady Jia, Lady Wang and Yuanchun may not be able to see through it.

In order to consider the overall situation, she had to make some sacrifices.

Therefore, he took the initiative to find Yuanchun, and at the same time, hoped to borrow her help to test the waters.

Although she put the overall situation first, her heart was very complicated. She hoped that the sound of drums and music would attract Zhang Yunyi, but she also had some hidden expectations.

Just as he was struggling with this, he suddenly saw the maid appear at the door.

She was startled, then raised her hand and pressed her temple, and said to Yuanchun: "Sister, I'm a little tired, so I'll go back first!"

Yuanchun thought she had lost interest because she had not waited for the result, so she said without forcing him, "It is getting late. Let's finish rehearsing this last bit and then go to bed!"

Tanchun left the Grand View Tower, taking two steps at a time. After she got downstairs, she asked the maid who was following her, "Did Brother Yi come into the garden?"

Originally, the secretary had been guarding the east corner gate, but now that she knew that Zhang Yun逸 lived in Mengpo Zhai, how could Tanchun not make adjustments?

"Yes! I saw him coming in, but I didn't dare to follow him. I thought Master Yi was going to follow the sound to the young lady's place, but I saw him crossing the Bee Waist Bridge!"

Tanchun's worry turned into joy, and she said hurriedly, "You don't have to follow me, just go back now!"

After saying that, he waved to the secretary and went straight to Qiu Shuang Zhai without looking back.

Zhang Yunyi turned a deaf ear to the noise in the Daguan Tower. The sisters gathered in the Daguan Tower again. In addition, the secretary said clearly that he was heading towards the Fengyao Bridge. Tanchun immediately thought that he was coming for her.

Although she was considering the overall situation and did not want to get busy with internal strife when the Rong Mansion was in danger, if Zhang Yunyi insisted on having his own way, it would be a different story.

Judging from the attitude shown by Lady Jia at the time, as long as he took the initiative to propose marriage, the old lady would probably be eager for the opportunity to trap him, and all problems would be solved.

However, when she returned to Qiu Shuang Zhai excitedly, she did not see the figure she was expecting, and she was greatly disappointed.

The secretary was understanding and immediately asked the maid in the courtyard, "Has anyone come to see the young lady?"

"We servants have been enjoying the cool in the yard, and didn't see anyone coming!"

"This..." The maid's face looked a little ugly. After a slight hesitation, she whispered, "Master Yi may not want to alarm others. Maybe he is nearby. Why don't you go and look for him, Miss?"

Tanchun scoffed at the secretary's words. She knew very well what the current situation in Rongguo Mansion was.

As long as Zhang Yun逸 makes his attitude clear, even if Lady Jia prefers her sister Yuanchun, it is better than losing both ends.

Her eyes swept between Xiaoxiang Pavilion and Zilingzhou, and finally stopped in the direction of Daoxiang Village.

The secretary had said before that Zhang Yun逸 had crossed the Bee Waist Bridge and all the sisters were in the Grand View Tower.

In this direction, the only one is my eldest sister-in-law Li Wan...

Of course, Hengwuyuan and Tuobi Villa cannot be ruled out.

After all, Xiangyun's status as a concubine had already been made public and could be ignored. Her surname was Shi after all, and Jia Zheng's impeachment might not necessarily affect her.

Thinking of this, Tanchun felt mixed emotions, but she nodded calmly and walked out of the yard with the servant who was holding the lantern.

She couldn't help but sigh deeply, thinking to herself, if it was really her elder sister-in-law, it would be fine, but if she went to find Baochai...

Even if she becomes a ghost, she wants to be a clear-headed ghost.
