The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 590 Half push and half give
As soon as Tanchun finished speaking, Zhang Yunyi smiled and agreed, "Third sister, this is a good suggestion. Let's go outside and relax!"

When Tanchun heard this, she was stunned. A flash of doubt flashed across her eyes, and she quickly lowered her head and walked out.

Yuanchun and Yingchun naturally felt embarrassed to stay any longer, and the others knew that Lady Jia and the others had something to discuss, so they had to leave as well.

Just as Zhang Yunyi took a step forward, Mrs. Wang coughed lightly and winked at Grandmother Jia, who hurriedly said, "Yunyi, please stay..."

Grandmother Jia hesitated for a moment and said, "You'll have to think about it!"

Zhang Yunyi then shrugged his shoulders, gave the girls a helpless look, and stopped.

As the person involved, he naturally had to stay.

Although Yuanchun, Yingchun and Tanchun knew what was going to be discussed next, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai and others were still in the dark.

The reason why he pretended to be so pretentious and waited for Lady Jia to persuade him to stay was to give Lin Daiyu, the Xue sisters and other sisters who were unaware of the truth the illusion that they were forced to take a concubine.

Zhang Yunyi turned around, and Mrs. Wang on the other side lifted the collar of Aunt Xue's clothes behind her and looked at the second wife of the Xue family beside her.

Aunt Xue was slightly startled, and hurriedly pulled the second wife of the Xue family up and said, "Old lady, you guys chat, we will go out and digest the food!"

This was also what Zhang Yunyi meant. After all, he was still planning on Xue Baoqin and didn't want the second wife of the Xue family to see his true colors.

The reason why she had to use Lady Wang's hand was to avoid misunderstanding with Aunt Xue. Lady Wang was ashamed to let the second wife of the Xue family know that her daughter was a concubine.

Grandmother Jia also glanced at Wang Xifeng and Li Wan, waved her hand and said, "Please send the two concubines off on behalf of the Madam."

After everyone who should have left had left, Zhang Yunyi looked towards Grandmother Jia, and suddenly saw Jia Baoyu, who looked listless and still standing beside her in a daze.

Just now he was standing together with a group of sisters and thought that Jia Baoyu was looking at them. Now that there was no one around, he was surprised to find that this guy was actually staring at him.

Thinking that Jia Baoyu was a two-way plug and had been involved with Jiang Yuhan recently, Zhang Yunyi suddenly felt uncomfortable when he was being stared at by him.

He hurriedly said, "Brother Bao, good things are about to happen, why are you so listless? If you feel bored in the house, why not go out for a walk!"

Seeing that he had spoken, Grandmother Jia had no choice but to poke Jia Baoyu with her arm.

"Listen to your elder brother Yi and go talk to your sisters."

Although he was not very satisfied with Lady Jia's arrangement, it could be seen that although Jia Baoyu stood up reluctantly, he was still staring at her with ill intentions.

Zhang Yunyi thought to himself, could it be that Jiang Yuhan has completely turned him gay?
Seeing that he was hesitant, Jia's mother said cautiously, "Yun Yi, look..."

"We should have done it together at the end of last year. Now that Baoyu has set a date for the wedding, it really shouldn't be delayed any further..."

Zhang Yunyi set the tone, but then changed the subject and said, "However, Baoyu and the Xia family are getting married soon. If the rumors spread that the two girls are concubines, it would be difficult to say."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Grandmother Jia agreed repeatedly, "Yun Yi is really thoughtful. I think so too. After Baoyu gets married..."

"How can a sister wait for her brother?" Zhang Yunyi interrupted before Jia's mother finished speaking, "This is originally a matter between our two families. If we handle it privately and keep everything the same outside, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

"Everything remains the same?" asked Grandmother Jia, puzzled.

"The eldest and second young ladies are used to living in the garden. We are all family members, and I pay for all the expenses. It doesn't matter where they live. I think there is no need to move around. This way, it won't affect the reputation of the mansion."

This was exactly what he had planned.

However, a daughter who is married off is like water spilled. Although the Rongguo Mansion relied on him and allowed Yuanchun and Yingchun to continue living in the Grand View Garden, Jia Mu did not dare to object, but it was still difficult to hear her say so.

Now, with this legitimate reason, he can have both the status and the position.

Yuanchun and Yingchun set the precedent, and later Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun could naturally follow suit.

Once they settled in, if they wanted to kick them out, not to mention whether Lady Jia would ask him to do so, Zhang Yun逸 would never agree.

There were still many empty courtyards in the backyard of Ningguo Mansion. Grandmother Jia thought that he was just thinking about his family and thanked him profusely.

"That's it! We'll pick a date and go through the motions later."

In order to perform the whole play, although Zhang Yunyi had already chosen the date, he was not in a hurry to tell Lady Jia.

Yuanchun and Yingchun had just concluded their relationship when Aunt Zhao, who had been silent in the corner, suddenly interrupted and said, "Since the eldest and second daughters have been given to Master Yi, why not take the third daughter as well..."

Although she was Tanchun's biological mother, she was only a concubine after all. Her interference in the girl's marriage made Jia Mu dissatisfied. She even took the initiative to propose that Tanchun should be the concubine and used the word "reluctantly".

However, although Grandmother Jia was furious, Yuanchun, as a legitimate daughter, could be a concubine, so why couldn't Tanchun, a concubine's daughter, be allowed to be a concubine?
In addition to Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, there was also Zhang Yunyi, the mistress.

No matter from which angle, Jia Mu could not find a reason to scold Aunt Zhao. She just thought that Aunt Zhao saw Yuanchun hooking up with Zhang Yunyi, Baoyu had a way out, and was also paving the way for Jia Huan.

Not only did he not doubt that Zhang Yun逸 was the director of this play, he also looked at him eagerly, hoping that he, who was always considerate and righteous, would politely refuse.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yunyi sighed deeply and said, "Forget it! I should treat you all equally. I didn't think it through. Since Aunt Zhao said so, then..."

At this point, he even asked knowingly, "By the way! Has the third young lady reached the age of marriage?"

"Tomorrow is her birthday, which is exactly when she will reach the age of marriage..."

"That's good!" Zhang Yunyi turned to look at Madam Wang, "Second Madam should have no objection, right?"

"No...how could that be!" Mrs. Wang forced a smile.

Her bitterness was not fake. Zhang Yunyi only asked her to cooperate with Lady Xing and finalize the marriage of Yuanchun and Yingchun as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhao showed up halfway.

Madam Xing glanced at Lady Jia and said, "It's not poverty that's worrying, but inequality. The most important thing for a head of a household to avoid is partiality. Isn't it that we must treat everyone equally?"

Zhang Yunyi said without question: "Then it's settled!"

The three of them sang in unison, with Mrs. Xing assisting from the side, and Grandmother Jia was unable to express her grievances.

Marriage is the basic operation to ensure the long-term prosperity of a large family, and Grandmother Jia is well aware of the essence of it.

All eggs cannot be put in one basket, not to mention that both Yuanchun and Yingchun, the two granddaughters, were given to Zhang Yun逸 as mistresses.

Among the three granddaughters, although Grandmother Jia loved Yuanchun the most, she liked Tanchun the most in terms of character and the way she handled things.

The reason is simple, it's because Tanchun's personality is most similar to that of Jia's mother when she was young.

I had hoped to have Tanchun marry off to create a new way out for the family, but I didn't expect Aunt Zhao and Mrs. Wang to be so anxious and busy, which ruined my plan.

But since it was put on the table and Zhang Yunyi had spoken, she didn't dare to raise any objection.

From her perspective, Yuanchun was just a match forced upon her by the retired emperor, and was nothing more than a sidekick to Yingchun.

But her son's wife and concubine had started a internal conflict again. When they came before Zhang Yun逸, they not only refused to work together, but also fought openly and secretly. Grandmother Jia saw it and was worried.

Although she used Aunt Zhao to restrain Lady Wang, it was, after all, a struggle for the right to speak within the Rongguo Mansion.

Weakening Lady Wang's influence in front of Jia Zheng will make it easier for her to control the Rongguo Mansion inside and outside. After all, the ultimate beneficiary is still her most beloved Jia Baoyu.

But once it comes to Zhang Yunyi, this no longer applies.

On the contrary, if Aunt Zhao takes a larger share, Mrs. Wang will get a smaller share, and the corresponding share of the profits for her beloved grandson Jia Baoyu will also decline.

Thinking of this, Grandmother Jia took a deep breath and said, "Since Yun Yi has already agreed, I won't say anything more."

She then looked at Aunt Zhao and said in a deep voice, "However, today is the Second Madam's birthday after all. Ask Yun Yi to accompany her in the evening... and talk to her... You don't have to join in the fun!"

At this point, all three granddaughters were given to Zhang Yun逸 as mistresses, and the Rongguo Mansion was undoubtedly completely tied to Zhang Yun逸.

She didn't have much say in front of Zhang Yun逸, and the only way she could do was to do some small, silent preparations within her ability to help Lady Wang and Jia Baoyu gain more.

Mrs. Wang was saddened by the sight of the jade plate that was as auspicious as the East Sea, and Grandmother Jia also saw it.

Considering Mrs. Wang’s age, she had no choice but to strike while the iron was hot, seize the limited time and try to gain more favor.

Although it is difficult to say, everyone present is an insider, so there is no need to pretend to be ignorant.

And for the sake of my precious grandson, I can’t care about much else.

Aunt Zhao couldn't help feeling a little displeased when she heard this. Although Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang didn't know, she knew that Zhang Yunyi had already had feelings for Tanchun.

I accompanied her in performing a play today and successfully brought about this matter. I was also hoping to get a bigger share of the profits in the evening, but I didn't expect to be interrupted by Lady Jia.

She looked at Zhang Yunyi with a little hesitation, but he nodded and said, "Just do as you wish!"
