The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 51 Make preparations

After seeing Zhang Yunyi off, Jia Rong went straight to Rong Mansion.

It was the morning when errands were being assigned, and people were coming and going in the three wing buildings.

Wang Xifeng glanced at Jia Rong, ignored his winking, raised her eyebrows and said, "I have a lot of things to do here, I don't have time to greet you, if you have something to say, hurry up and say it!"

Although Jia Rong's words were fantastic, she still couldn't completely trust him.

Knowing that he had to come at this moment, Zhang Yunyi must have set a date, so he deliberately forced him to ask for his presence.

Even if something really happened at that time, they could put the blame on Jia Rong and insist that he had planned the incident.

Jia Rong glanced at the maids and old women coming in and out, and said helplessly: "Qin misses her aunt, and I would like to ask her to come over the day after tomorrow."

"Is there any recurrence?" Wang Xifeng asked with concern, "Have you called a doctor?"

"No, I just wanted to talk to you. I'm worried that she's tired from traveling so I had to ask you to come over."

He stepped forward and bowed, then, taking the opportunity of having his back turned to the maids and servants, he raised his head and nodded to Wang Xifeng, signaling her to send all the servants away.

I had thought of telling her to dress up nicely.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xifeng ignored her and just waved her hand, saying, "Go back and tell my nephew's wife that I will ask for leave from my wife tomorrow and go to see her."

Seeing this, Jia Rong could only return home in disappointment.

Wang Xifeng appeared calm on the surface, but after Jia Rong left, she hurriedly assigned tasks and went to Rong Xi Tang.

Seeing that Madam Wang was not in the room, she asked Caixia who was standing in the room indirectly, "Why is Madam not here at this moment? Could it be that she is not feeling well and has gone back to rest?"

Caixia said nonchalantly, "There was nothing wrong with Madam getting up this morning. She must have chatted with the old lady for a while. If Grandma has something urgent, she might as well go to the old lady and talk to her."

Confirming her guess, Wang Xifeng found a chair at the bottom and sat down, smiling and saying, "There is no urgent matter, I am just worried about my aunt."

Caixia saw her sit down and hurried to make tea.

After waiting for about half an hour, Mrs. Wang came back with a smile on her face.

Wang Xifeng's heart sank, and she hurried forward to pay her respects, saying, "Rong'er was just sent over here, saying that Qin wanted to talk to her niece, and that she wanted to ask Madam for leave, and would go over the day after tomorrow."

If my nephew's wife wants to talk to someone, she should go there herself. There is no reason to ask my aunt to go over.

Madam Wang said with displeasure, "Last time I accompanied the old lady to visit the East Palace Garden, she seemed fine. Why didn't she..."

Having said this, he thought of his own daughter's affairs, which still depended on the Ningguo Mansion's help, and hurriedly changed the topic, "She has always been a sensible person. Since she asked Rong'er to come and invite you, I'm afraid she has had a relapse. You can take some supplements and go take a look."

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Wang Xifeng thought she would have to spend some more time talking, but she didn't expect that before she could open her mouth, Mrs. Wang changed her tone.

Fearing that he would make a mistake if he spoke too much, he quickly agreed and bowed to leave.

It was already noon when she returned to the three-room porch. She ate lunch absentmindedly, then leaned on the kang, her eyes slightly closed, and fell into deep thought.

Mrs. Wang rushed to Lady Jia's courtyard every morning and evening to visit her mother. Excluding the time when everyone else was present, there was nearly two hours of secret conversation.

Judging from Mrs. Wang’s expression when she came back, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law must have had a very pleasant conversation.

She couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.

If the Xue family is allowed to expand their business, Xue Baochai's dowry will definitely be even richer. With Mrs. Wang fanning the flames, I'm afraid there's really nothing that can be done to save the situation.

Thinking of this, she suddenly opened her eyes, raised her hand, fanned her face, and then said to Ping'er: "This weather is really hot. You should go back and take out all my clothes to dry in the sun. I want to wear them tomorrow." Even though there was still a day before the agreed time, she couldn't wait to get ready.

Although it was only one day in advance and a bit rushed, the sudden change of clothes when going to Ning Mansion the day after tomorrow was too eye-catching.

Ping'er glanced at her forehead, a hint of suspicion flashed across her face, but she said sympathetically, "The weather is a bit hot and humid, I'm afraid it's going to rain."

Then he turned around and went back to rummage through the drawers.

After Ping'er left, Wang Xifeng spent another hour or so in the porch to finish dealing with things, and then she could no longer sit still.

She got up and returned home. Looking at the colorful flowers hanging all over the yard, she walked around twice before leisurely returning to the house.

She had dinner early, and waited until Ping'er directed the maids to take the clothes back to the room before she started to pick and choose.

After searching for a long time, I finally hung the set that I had already prepared on the clothes hanger in the house.

She walked around the hanger, examined it, fiddled with the satin-fronted jacket with a purple background and gold floral patterns, and shook her head.

She was not dissatisfied with the purple long skirt and the pink flowered tube top.

Unfortunately, this double-breasted jacket is a little insufficient. Although the half-open collar makes the clothes more obvious, not only the whiteness under the neck is fully revealed, but also the bra underneath is slightly exposed.

However, the slits on both sides were a bit conservative, not extending from the hem of the collar all the way to the waist. Not to mention the pair of long legs that she was so proud of, with well-proportioned body, even the hem of the skirt wrapped inside was only half exposed.

However, she usually took care of the affairs of the mansion and inevitably met men, so she paid great attention to her clothes.

There are clothes with high slits, but they are home clothes and cannot be worn outside.

Although she is the elder nephew and the younger brother-in-law, and can joke around with anyone, she is actually quite conservative at heart.

If it weren't for the recent increasing closeness between Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang, she would not have intended to make any substantial sacrifices even if Zhang Yunyi could make more money.

At most, he would do it the same way as he dealt with Jia Rui, giving some verbal hints to lure Zhang Yun逸 into the circle, and then use Ping'er to impersonate him.

After struggling with the hanger for a long time, I finally gave up the idea of ​​taking it away temporarily and asking someone to modify it.

Although there would be enough time to ask Qingwen in Baoyu's room to do it, it would inevitably cause some noise.

Just at this moment, Ping'er pushed the door open and saw her shaking her head at the clothes on the hanger. She suggested, "Madam, if you think this dress is too revealing, why not add a cloud shoulder to cover it."

This reminded Wang Xifeng that although it was already mid-April, it was not midsummer after all.

She hurriedly took out a lilac-colored shoulder bag from the pile of clothes and put it on top.

This cloud shoulder can be torn off at any time. Not only can it be worn to conceal one's identity, but it can also be worn according to the situation.

The more you can hide, the better. If Zhang Yun逸 were like Jia Rui, who couldn't take his eyes off her the moment they met, then we wouldn't let him get away with it for nothing.

If you still remain unmoved, it won’t be too late to take off your shoulders.

Having made up her mind, she was about to go out to wash up, but she saw Ping'er tidying up the scattered clothes in the room and saying, "Madam, since you will wear this one tomorrow, I will put away the others first."

Wang Xifeng hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Don't worry, put this one aside for now, I'll pick out another one."
