The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 601: Not willing to lag behind
"Really?"

Before she finished speaking, Xue Baoqin kicked off her high heels.

Zhang Yunyi did have something to say beforehand, but she had already said that big of a thing, so she had no choice but to go out with it. When she saw Lin Daiyu handing her the ladder, she immediately backed down.

In ancient times, women’s feet were not allowed to be shown to others even if they were wearing embroidered shoes, let alone taking off their shoes?
Although the skirt can still cover it, but if something happens...

But Xue Baoqin was used to being casual and didn't take it seriously.

Seeing this, Xue Baochai shook her head and quickly scolded: "You little girl, aren't you afraid of getting cold?"

Xue Baoqin stuck out her tongue and said, "April is almost summer, how can I be cold..."

She shook off the burden on her feet and finally felt much more steady. Xue Baoqin also shook off her arms, broke free from Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, and walked into the outer hall with a jump and her skirt fluttering.

It was broad daylight, and even with the curtains drawn, she was still able to change clothes, so she didn't notice the problem with the material.

Originally, if she was standing in the dark, even if the skirt was translucent, she would not be seen through. But she walked towards the light and her underwear was exposed.

Although the women noticed something was wrong, just like the emperor's new clothes, no one was too embarrassed to speak up first to remind him, so they could only cover their mouths with a look of horror.

But Xue Baoqin misunderstood and thought they were surprised at the beauty of the skirt. She opened her arms, took brisk steps, and turned around.

The skirt was already fluffy, and for a moment, the hem of the skirt fluttered up and down like the wings of a butterfly.

The tender diamond-like feet that were originally hidden under the skirt appeared and disappeared as the skirt floated up and down. The two straight legs also danced under the skirt as she turned, appearing and disappearing.

Zhang Yunyi took a quick glance and noticed several gazes coming at him. He quickly picked up the teacup on the table and pretended to drink his tea.

"You little girl, you are really crazy! Go back and change!"

Shi Xiangyun, who was standing by, could no longer hold back, so she rushed forward, grabbed Xue Baoqin and walked into the house.

Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai were like two door gods, who came together at the same time, intentionally or unintentionally blocking her behind and blocking Zhang Yunyi's sight.

He escorted Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baoqin all the way and only returned after they turned the corner into the inner room.

Zhang Yunyi took a deep sip of tea, then slowly raised his head, looking around in confusion and said, "I haven't even seen it clearly yet, why is Sister Baoqin changing back?"

He spoke so seriously that everyone could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Yuanchun was still in shock and said, "It's not appropriate to wear this foreign skirt. If the old lady and the ladies knew about it, it would be disastrous. I'd better change it back immediately!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" everyone quickly agreed.

Only Lin Daiyu looked at him meaningfully, complaining: "Brother Yi, why don't you explain it clearly?"

Zhang Yun逸 did not expect that she was so insightful. Although he tried his hand at Qingwen, it was night after all. How could the light in the house compare to the sunlight during the day?
However, at this moment, it is impossible to admit my oversight.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to pretend, "What do you want to clarify?"

Before this, when Xue Baoqin was holding up her skirt to demonstrate, because it was pressed against her body with the light behind her, and there were two layers on top of each other, no problem could be seen.

Even if Zhang Yun逸 had checked beforehand, at most he would have looked at the material and workmanship, or asked a maid to demonstrate like Xue Baoqin did.

Lin Daiyu could never have imagined that Qingwen had not only tried it on before, but also played with it in some interesting ways.

In addition, Zhang Yun逸 did make such a reminder, but it did not stop Xue Baoqin from insisting.

In addition, given his usual personality, we cannot wrongly accuse good people of having bad intentions.

Seeing the silence, Zhang Yunyi started to complain, "What happened to you guys? I didn't watch it carefully, but you all saw it, didn't you? Give us your comments!"

In this situation, admitting it would make Xue Baoqin look even more embarrassed, so she could only deny it.

……

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yunyi outside was pretending to be dumbfounded, but Xue Baoqin, who was dragged back to the room by Shi Xiangyun, was really confused.

"what happened?"

Shi Xiangyun pulled open the curtains in the room in a bad mood, pulled Xue Baoqin under the window, pointed at the hem of her skirt and said, "Look for yourself!"

"Ah!" Xue Baoqin exclaimed, lowered her head, stared at the translucent skirt in a daze, and her face turned red.

Even though she had a free and easy personality and was never restrained, she couldn't help blushing.

After a long while, Fang murmured, "No wonder Brother Yi asked me to try again in the evening...but...but why didn't he explain himself clearly..."

Shi Xiangyun secretly complained in her heart, I told you to try again in the evening, why didn’t you listen?

But he consoled her by saying, "Fortunately I saw the opportunity early. This material can only be seen through light in a bright place, and Brother Yi was drinking tea with his head down..."

Even though Shi Xiangyun explained it this way, Xue Baoqin still couldn't face Zhang Yunyi.

She pushed Shi Xiangyun and pleaded, "Sister Xiangyun, please go out first! I can't face anyone anymore. Please apologize to Brother Yi for me and I won't go out!"

She pushed Shi Xiangyun out of the door, closed it, and leaned against it, feeling very upset.

Shi Xiangyun, who was standing outside the door, looked at the closed door, curled her lips, and turned back into the hall.

She disagreed with what Xue Baoqin said.

Normally, didn't Xue Baochai say one thing in front of others and another behind their backs? She had already recommended herself to Zhang Yunyi and climbed into his bed early on.
Now, the news that Yuanchun and Yingchun were going to be Zhang Yunyi's concubines had just come out, and Xue Baoqin had done this. It was hard to guarantee that she was not thinking of following suit.

And Xue Baoqin had just said that Zhang Yunyi had clearly reminded her in advance, so she would never believe it if he said it was an unintentional mistake.

Therefore, when she returned to the main hall, she did not look at Zhang Yunyi, but secretly glanced at Xue Baochai from behind.

"Where's Sister Baoqin?"

Just as she was staring at Baochai in a daze, Zhang Yunyi's voice rang in her ears.

Shi Xiangyun suddenly woke up, looked at the innocent-looking Brother Yi, took a deep breath and said, "She...she said..."

She hesitated for a moment, then changed the subject: "Sister Baoqin just stepped on stilts and twisted her ankle. She couldn't move around anymore and she asked me to apologize to Brother Yi on her behalf!"

As the saying goes, many pigs will fight for the trough, and Zhang Yunyi is already popular, so Shi Xiangyun can't help but feel a comparison.

It would have been fine if she was beaten to it by Xue Baochai. After all, she hadn't moved in yet when Zhang Yunyi moved into the Ning Mansion. So since she came first, it couldn't be said that she was beaten to it by Xue Baochai.

However, Xue Baoqin, who came from behind, could not be allowed to take the lead.

Given Brother Yi's personality, if he knew the reason, the Xue family's evil scheme would succeed.

Since he is still in the dark, there is no need for him to feel guilty or bear unnecessary responsibility.

This excuse was quite appropriate. Lin Daiyu also laughed and said, "I told her not to break the stilts. Now she has hurt her feet. Let's see if she will try harder next time."

Zhang Yunyi also looked remorseful, and took the opportunity to back off and said, "It's all my fault. I made the heels of these shoes a little high. I'll have the government send some medicinal wine over later."

As he was speaking, a hurried shout suddenly came from outside: "Master Yi...Master Yi! Master Bao...Master Bao has a sudden hysteria, old lady, Madam, please help to call the imperial physician..."

"Why... why did you suddenly become hysterical?"

This news came at the perfect time. Zhang Yunyi stood up suddenly, bowed slightly to the ladies, turned around and left the house, shouting outside: "Go tell the old lady and the madam not to panic, I'll go to the Imperial Hospital right away!"
