The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 510 Outside the Palace
Zhang Yun逸 had no idea that his casual remark would arouse the emperor's competitive spirit.

He was leaning against the head of Mrs. Mei's bed, fiddling with her messy hair with an expression of enjoyment, as if he was petting a kitten.

He entered the Mei Mansion at dusk, and not only had an appetizer before dinner, but also took a bath with Mrs. Mei after dinner. He has not been able to rest until now.

Although he did not show any signs of weakness, Mrs. Mei's body was delicate and tender, and she had never been tossed around like this before. She had already become so tired that she could not stand it anymore. She had no choice but to take the initiative to find another way.

Zhang Yun逸 naturally went with the flow.

About another quarter of an hour later, he held Mrs. Mei's head tightly and let out a satisfied groan.

Madam Mei puffed up her cheeks and swallowed several times. She slowly raised her head, tears in the corners of her eyes, and said with a slurred tongue: "The servants at home have been replaced. Why didn't you discuss it with me?"

Zhang Yunyi disagreed and said, "Isn't this convenient?"

"What convenience?" Mrs. Mei's face flushed.

Zhang Yunyi sneered, "Why? I just helped your son pay off his debt, and Madam is planning to take advantage of it and deny it? Do you think I'm easy to talk to and want to get rid of me?"

With Mei Pi's cooperation, Zhang Yun逸 was not worried about being exposed at all, and he ran like a train without any hesitation.

Speaking of eating it all, he stretched out his hand and intentionally wiped the corner of Mrs. Mei's lips.

Madam Mei blushed and quickly denied it, "No... No! I'm just worried that if we replace the servants in your house, it will be known outside."

Zhang Yunyi sneered inwardly. The news had already spread widely outside, and this was one of the reasons why he replaced the servants in the Mei Mansion.

Mei Pi didn't need to think about it, as he was the one who had been trying his best to promote it. He was probably hoping that Mrs. Mei could trap Zhang Yunyi, this cheap father.

But Zhang Yun逸 was worried that the servants of the Mei family would spread the rumors to Mrs. Mei's ears, making her unable to save face and seeking death.

"Don't worry! I bought all the servants from Rongguo Mansion, and they are all carefully selected and tight-lipped. They don't need to go out to buy daily expenses, and they don't need to show their faces in public, so how can they reveal their true identity?"

"Then I'm relieved!" Mrs. Mei hesitated for a moment, then changed the subject, "But I'm still worried about Pi'er."

She was not Concubine Wu, who was good at flattery. In addition, her status was embarrassing, so even if she wanted to please, she couldn't save her face.

He originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that a servant in the house was replaced and Zhang Yunyi was in the wrong to bring the topic to his son.

But he was beaten up by Zhang Yun逸 instead.

Her original intention was for her son, but now not only has she been tortured by Zhang Yunyi, but she is also being kept as a mistress.

Since sacrifices have already been made, I naturally have to fight for more for my son.

She still remembered that day in the mourning hall, Mei Pi mentioned with great confidence that Jia Huan had been granted an official position.

However, on the one hand, I am embarrassed to speak frankly because my name is not right, and on the other hand, I am worried that I will be too eager for quick success.

I could only say tactfully: "You know, this kid is causing trouble everywhere. I think he is quite respectful of you. If he can stay by your side, maybe he can turn over a new leaf."

Zhang Yunyi pinched Madam Mei's cheek and jokingly said, "Why? For the sake of your son, you are not afraid of the gossip outside?"

He naturally saw the implication of Mrs. Mei's words.

However, Mrs. Mei and Aunt Zhao are different. One is willing to fight, while the other is forced into a fight.

In addition, Mei Lian's death was somewhat caused by him. Even though Mei Pi acted heartless, there was no guarantee that he was not waiting for an opportunity to act. Therefore, he would not lump him together with Jia Huan.

In his heart, he had already classified Mei Pi and Jia Rong as the same kind of people. After all, if even Madam Mei could be schemed against, what about him, his cheap father?

It would be best if this kind of person could be allowed to become useless, but even if that is not possible, he will not be given any chance.

However, he was very clear about Mrs. Mei's desire for her son to become successful, and it was difficult for him to refuse, so he could only make excuses.

Mrs. Mei seemed to have been prepared, and said thoughtfully: "In fact, it is not without an excuse. Although his father is a criminal, he is from Tiangong Academy after all. Now the emperor has granted amnesty to the whole country. It is reasonable to let Pi'er go to Tiangong Academy or Xianxue, and let the son follow in his father's footsteps." Zhang Yunyi did not expect that she could think of this excuse, and for a moment he could not think of another reason to refuse.

So he said, "It's not impossible, but I have paid so much for Madam, and I have been so worried about you. Madam, you should also show some appreciation. You must let me feel your sincerity. It's not too late to say it later!"

It is difficult to refuse Zhang Yun逸, but you can delay it.

As for when he will be satisfied, that naturally has the final say.

After saying that, he put his big hand on Mrs. Mei's slender waist and patted her curvy figure behind.

Mrs. Mei bit her lower lip lightly, but did not dare to hesitate. She turned around hurriedly, turned her back to Zhang Yun逸, and lay down like a dog.

Zhang Yunyi sat up with his back straightened, knelt down and walked behind Madam Mei. He raised his hand and gently patted the raised buttocks, causing ripples, and then pinched her slender waist with both hands.

Dark clouds obscured the bright moon, the sky and the earth suddenly became dim, the stars hid, and everything was silent. Only the whisper of the wind remained, shuttling between the treetops and the eaves, setting off the indescribable beauty.

……

Jia Yucun’s residence at the other end of Xinglong Street.

Jiao Xing stood in front of the study holding a lantern. After hesitating for a while, she knocked on the door and said, "Master! It's so late, you should rest!"

Jia Yucun, who was sitting in front of the desk, said without even raising his head, "You go to sleep first! I've been away from Beijing for a few months, and there's a lot of official business piled up in the government office. And the Chinese New Year is just over two months away. I'm afraid I'll have to sleep in the study for the time being."

A trace of confusion flashed across Jiao Xing's face. She bit her lower lip lightly, wanting to say something but stopping herself. In the end, she didn't say anything more.

Jia Yucun always handled official business cleanly and efficiently, and rarely brought any official business home to handle.

But this time was an exception. Not only did he bring official business back to the mansion, but he had been back for several days and the business had not yet been completed.

Now, he even threatened that it might not be resolved before the end of the year. How could Jiao Xing not feel confused?

It has been half a year since Jia Yucun left Beijing. She is at an age where she knows how to enjoy life, and she is suffering a lot in Ningguo Mansion.

I thought Jia Yucun's return this time would at least ease the depression in my heart, but I never expected it to be a false alarm.

However, thinking that he had ultimately failed to live up to the trust placed in him, although Jia Yucun did not complain out loud, he was probably somewhat dissatisfied in his heart.

Thinking of this, she turned around angrily and was about to leave.

Jia Yucun suddenly stopped him and said, "By the way! Go to Brother Yi's place tomorrow."

Jiao Xing couldn't help but tremble, staring at Jia Yucun in a daze, a blush appeared on her face, and she said hesitantly: "Master...you want me..."

The confusion in Jia Yucun's eyes flashed away, and he said indifferently: "I heard that Brother Yi and Minister Zhou have partnered to open a theater. Go over and ask if Lord Gu has invested in it."

At this point, he paused and warned, "Just ask the two elders and Xiangling indirectly, but don't disturb Brother Yi."

He and Zhou Xianzu were both in the Ministry of Personnel, and he was considered a meritorious minister in Emperor Wanlong's ascension to the throne. Naturally, he knew whether Gu Dashou was involved. Asking Jiao Xing to ask was just to confirm his guess.

However, Jiao Xing had not been to Ning Mansion for some time, and Zhen Shiyin's return to Jiangnan was also a sudden decision, so Jia Yucun and the others were still unaware of it.

After hearing the first sentence, Jiao Xing's heart was beating wildly, but after hearing Jia Yucun's addition, she actually felt a little disappointed.

Knowing what she was expecting, she felt ashamed and angry. She secretly spat at herself in her heart and hurriedly agreed, "Oh! I know. I will go ask the master tomorrow!"

Looking at Jiao Xing's slightly flustered steps, Jia Yucun couldn't help but frown. After pondering for a long time, he shook his head and sighed deeply.
