The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 500: It’s over, just brush off your clothes and go away

The afterglow of dusk ignited the clouds in the sky, brilliant orange and red covered the sky, and a magnificent sunset quietly unfolded.

The Mei Mansion's mourning hall was in a mess. The offerings on the altar were scattered all over the floor. Some were trampled into mud, while others lay alone in the corner, together with the messy cushions on the ground, telling of chaos and misfortune.

The candles on the altar had long been extinguished, leaving only solidified wax tears, witnessing the passage of time and the sweat shed.

The cover of the coffin had long been wet with sticky sweat, like a canvas, allowing the unruly graffiti master to paint freely.

Mrs. Mei was lying on the coffin, breathing heavily, with a fiery afterglow on her body, like the fiery clouds in the sky, gorgeous and magnificent.

Before the exhausted Mrs. Mei could catch her breath, Zhang Yunyi held her up and turned her over, lying on her back on the coffin.

She was immediately horrified and begged for mercy: "Stop! It's going to be too late...it's getting dark..."

Mrs. Mei was already in a state of confusion, her soul had been lost several times, and she spoke without thinking.

Before I knew it, I spoke out my true thoughts.

Zhang Yunyi rubbed her waist and back with one hand to help Madam Mei steady herself, and with the other hand he hooked her chin and said with a smile: "What's wrong with it being dark? Madam, do you think I only know how to do things in broad daylight?"

He raised his tone in broad daylight, and Mrs. Mei's face, still tinged with shame, turned redder and redder as if it was about to bleed.

She said in a trembling mosquito-like voice: "No...too...too long!"

Although the servants were driven out of the yard, Zhang Yunyi stayed in the mourning hall for nearly two hours.

If you don't leave when it gets dark, even a fool can see that there's something wrong.

Zhang Yunyi did not expose her deception and said with a smile, "Madam, please sit down!"

After saying that, he slowly loosened his hand. Seeing that Mrs. Mei's body swayed twice and then she managed to steady herself, he walked around the table, pulled down a piece of curtain, and turned around to put it on her well-proportioned legs.

"Hurry up and wipe it. I'll help you clean it up!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Mei's body trembled violently and she leaned to one side. Fortunately, Zhang Yunyi was quick to act and hugged her.

During this period of time, she was in a state of disarray, on the verge of collapse, and had long forgotten the occasion.

At first, she just gritted her teeth and endured it silently, but the more she showed no reaction, the more it aroused Zhang Yunyi's competitive spirit.

Although she has been a wife for a long time, how can a nerd like Mei Lian compete with the vigor and strength of Zhang Yunyi?
After several rounds, not only did they lose all their weapons, but they also repaid evil with kindness and were filled with gratitude.

Thinking of all the shameful behavior I had done before, I felt so ashamed and angry that I felt dizzy.

Seeing this, Zhang Yunyi didn't dare to tease her anymore. He just picked up the curtain and wiped it for her silently.

Just when he was halfway through wiping, Mrs. Mei was suddenly startled, staring at him blankly, and asked anxiously: "You...you won't go back on your word, right?"

Zhang Yunyi was stunned by the question and smiled, "How could that be? I have no intention of making things difficult for you. Madam is so sincere, how could I go back on my word?"

Mrs. Mei's expression relaxed for a moment, but then tensed up again: "I'm talking about Pi'er's debt!"

Zhang Yunyi was stunned when he heard this and cursed inwardly. No wonder he heard the man inside threatening to die before, but he was so reckless and rushed out like this. It turned out that he was waiting for him here.

But he said calmly: "Tell me! How much do you owe?"

Madam Mei said timidly, "About ten thousand taels of silver, right? I'm not too sure."

Zhang Yunyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll go out and ask later..."

As he spoke, he pinched Madam Mei's buttocks and changed the subject, "However, your son didn't mention it to me before. More than ten thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. I can pay the silver, but Madam, your sincerity is still a little insufficient. I will come back to discuss it with you in detail later."

Zhang Yun逸 went with the flow, not simply because he was attracted by her beauty, but also because he was considering Xue Baoqin's engagement.

It would be extremely difficult to completely break off relations with the Mei family and force them to cancel the engagement.

It is better to keep a fleeting romance and then work on it slowly.

Not only did he get to taste the mature and charming lady like Mrs. Mei, he also satisfied his own bad taste and was able to cancel the engagement with Xue Baoqin.

Killing three birds with one stone, even if it costs more than ten thousand taels of silver, it is not too much of a loss.

He had a plan in mind, but Madam Mei misunderstood. She trembled slightly, nodded weakly, and said in a trembling voice: "Can you come to my room tonight..."

After hearing this, Zhang Yunyi knew that she had misunderstood. However, although he was happy to visit her often, he was also worried.

The big hand that was holding Madam Mei's slender waist slapped her buttocks and said without comment: "There's no rush for this..." As he said that, he lifted her chin again, pressed his thumb on her delicate cherry lips, and rubbed it back and forth, saying: "You can't just rely on Madam's empty words and a few casual words to get more than ten thousand taels of silver from me. You have to spend more time and effort!"

He was not a good person to begin with. He was just suspicious and worried that Mrs. Mei would be in trouble, so he didn't dare to give others an excuse to criticize him.

Now, knowing that Mei Pi still owed foreign debts, Mrs. Mei no longer had any concerns in this regard since she was forced to compromise for the sake of her son.

……

The afterglow ends.

Zhang Yunyi, who was in the mourning hall, fastened the jade belt on his dragon robe and stroked the back of Madam Mei, who was choking and crying and retching.

When she finally recovered, she raised her tearful face and said in a sad voice, "This...are you satisfied now?"

Zhang Yunyi patted her on the back twice, nodded and said, "Madam, do you really not want me to help you clean up?"

He had already begged for mercy before, but unexpectedly, Zhang Yun逸 took another approach. How could Mrs. Mei dare to keep him?

"No need, it's getting dark, you should leave now!"

Zhang Yunyi did not linger any longer and turned to the door.

Mrs. Mei quickly grabbed the mourning clothes and put them on, then hid behind the door. When Zhang Yunyi pushed the door open and walked out, she quickly closed the door, fastened the bolt, and then leaned against the door, facing the messy mourning hall.

As she was staring at the mourning hall, she was lost in thought when she suddenly heard her son's flattering voice from outside: "My Lord! Are you satisfied with my mother?"

Mrs. Mei felt her legs go weak and she slowly slid down against the door and collapsed to the ground.

Looking at the servile Mei Pi, Zhang Yunyi asked in a deep voice, "How much silver do you owe?"

Mei Pi paused, lowered his head quickly, and asked tentatively with his eyes rolling around, "Did mother tell the Marquis?"

Zhang Yunyi stopped and said, "Tell me! How much do you owe? Who is the creditor? How did you owe it?"

It’s not that he cared about this adopted son, but he knew very well that this kind of person never spoke the truth, and he was worried that he would lie and get involved in his own mess.

Unexpectedly, Mei Pi fell to his knees with a thump when he heard this.

"My nephew dare not deceive you, my Lord..."

Originally, when he saw Zhang Yunyi asking about the debt, he wanted to make some money.

But when she heard him asking about the creditor and the debt, she quickly put away her thoughts.

After listening to Mei Pi's story, Zhang Yun逸 was stunned.

Even though Jia Rong had set an example, there were reasons for everything. Jia Zhen was too harsh on his son, and he himself instigated it.

He could never have imagined that there would be someone like Mei Pi in this world, who would go to great lengths to pimp for his own mother.

Not to mention the conflict between him and Meilian.

Mei Pi seemed to know that something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "My nephew is close friends with the two sons of Minister Zhou's family, so I admire you very much. I hope you will understand my filial piety..."

Zhang Yunyi then remembered that he seemed to have seen Zhou Huaide when he first entered the Mei Mansion at noon.

Although Mei Pi's words were not entirely true, he went to great lengths to sell out his mother for fame and fortune. Zhang Yunyi couldn't help but guess that it was probably related to the rumors about Jia Huan.

Although there were few people who were blind enough to put such a thing in front of him, Jia Huan had shown admiration for him many times in the study of immortality and often mentioned his godfather, so how could he not notice it at all?
However, a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise.

Zhang Yunyi was quite surprised that such a stigma could bring him unexpected gains.

He had almost lost count of the number of slaps he had given his adopted son, and he didn't care about one more. He nodded and said, "That's enough! I know how filial you are. Be filial to your mother in the future, and don't make her worry about you anymore!"

After saying that, Zhang Yunyi walked out of the yard.

Mei Pi didn't have time to get up, so he just said, "Then my Lord, please come more often!"

Zhang Yunyi waved his hand without comment and walked away.
