The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 605 Emergency treatment
Xue Ke walked out of the house with heavy steps.

He looked up at the dazzling sunlight, stunned for a while, then glanced behind him, took a deep breath, and walked towards his mother's room.

After entering the house, he turned around and looked in the direction of Xue Baoqin's boudoir before closing the door.

"Why close the door in broad daylight?"

The second wife of the Xue family, who was sitting in the room, looked at her son with a puzzled look on her face.

After closing the door, Xue Ke turned around and said, "This is about my sister's marriage, so it's better not to let anyone hear it!"

Hearing that it was about Xue Baoqin's marriage, the second wife of the Xue family sat up straighter and asked, "You have been hanging out with the brother of the Mei family recently, but he has loosened his grip. Is there any plan?"

"I do have some clues. I plan to discuss it with my mother."

Xue Ke came to the edge of the kang and sat down. After hesitating for a while, he said, "It's just that this matter is a little difficult for me to talk about..."

Mrs. Xue said unhappily, "We are the only ones here, and this concerns your sister's life. What's so difficult about it?"

Xue Ke took a deep breath, but Mrs. Xue II urged him impatiently, "What are you still standing there for? Come on and tell me!"

"Mother stays at home all day, she doesn't know what's going on outside..."

Xue Ke's mouth twitched, and he said vaguely: "Mrs. Mei has now given herself to Brother Yi..."

"what?"

Although Xue Ke's words were vague, Mrs. Xue Er knew clearly what the word "commitment" meant.

She wondered if she was hard of hearing and had misheard, so she quickly asked, "Who did you say she followed?"

"Mother heard correctly. Madam Mei is indeed committed to Zhang Yunyi..."

"How could it be?" Mrs. Xue asked doubtfully, "The Mei family is also a family of scholars. How long has her husband died? Why is she in such a hurry to remarry? Besides, I haven't heard that Brother Yi took her in as a concubine..."

Seeing that his mother had misunderstood, Xue Ke had no choice but to explain: "It's not taking a concubine, nor is it remarrying. Brother Yi is raising me as a concubine in the Mei Mansion..."

He hesitated for a moment, then added: "Mei Pi now regards himself as Brother Yi's godson. This is absolutely true and there is no doubt about it!"

"Really?" Mrs. Xue was startled when she heard this, then she patted her chest, her face full of joy, and said, "That's great! In this way, your sister's divorce has finally been resolved."

Perhaps she felt that her words were a bit inappropriate, as they showed her gloating over someone else's misfortune. She hurriedly made up for it by saying, "After all, your sister didn't get married. The Mei family's dishonesty can't be blamed on your sister!"

Seeing his mother's surprise and delight, Xue Ke could only smile bitterly and said, "Mother is right!"

Seeing that her son approved of her explanation, Mrs. Xue looked at him and said with some complaint, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? It just so happens that Brother Yi is in the mansion today. Let's go and ask him for help."

As she spoke, she suddenly stood up.

"Mother, please calm down!" Xue Ke quickly stopped her.

"The fire has even reached your eyebrows, why are you still calm?"

Mrs. Xue said angrily, "After all, the truth will come out. Before this matter gets out to the public, let's quickly cancel your sister's marriage, so as to avoid any complications and implicate her!"

Mrs. Xue had no idea that this matter had become a hot topic. She just thought that Xue Ke knew the inside story because he often hung out with Mei Pi.

Although Xue Ke knew the situation clearly, he still gritted his teeth and advised, "That being said, how can such a thing be made public? If we embarrass him, wouldn't that be counterproductive?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Mrs. Xue II agreed, sat down dejectedly, looked at Xue Ke and said, "Then what do you think we should do?"

"After all, we are several layers away from him, but my aunt is the girl's aunt. It's not easy for my son to tell my aunt about this. Mother might as well explain the matter to my aunt in private and ask her to ask indirectly. In this way, he will probably be embarrassed to shirk responsibility..."

Although it is said that girls should not be kept when they grow up, if they are kept, they will become enemies.

But the eldest brother is like a father. How could he sit idly by and watch Xue Baoqin fall deeper and deeper into depravity, be married home by Mei Pi, and become Zhang Yunyi's plaything?

However, he was afraid that his mother would become confused due to her concern and that his impatience would ruin his big plans, so he did not dare to tell her the whole cause and effect.

Therefore, he chose the lesser of two evils and only told her about Mrs. Mei's situation. He hoped that Mei Pi had not yet informed Zhang Yunyi, so he could create a time difference and use Aunt Xue and Aunt Yuanchun's status as elders.

No matter if he was trying to fool Zhang Yun逸 or forcing him to do so due to Aunt Xue's status as an elder, as long as Zhang Yun逸 agreed, even if Mei Pi complained about it afterwards and made Zhang Yun逸 dissatisfied, he would not go back on his word due to their relationship.

Although Mrs. Xue Er did not know the inside story, Xue Ke's method was indeed safer.

But she turned around and asked with some doubt: "Does Wenlong know about this? Your aunt also knows about the broken engagement, why hasn't she mentioned it?"

"My elder brother knew that he had originally planned to go directly to Zhang Yunyi, but my son was worried that he would be reckless, so he tried hard to persuade him to stop."

After Xue Ke finished speaking, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had been careful at the beginning. He was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he found Xue Pan privately after returning and persuaded him with all the nice words he could.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xue no longer had any doubts and said hurriedly, "I'll go and discuss it with your aunt right away!"

Xue Ke then let out a long sigh and nodded to his mother.

Without further ado, Mrs. Xue got up and went straight to Aunt Xue's room.

When she arrived at Aunt Xue's room, she closed the door like a thief, then sat on the kang and told Aunt Xue what Xue Ke had said, simplifying it.

Seeing Aunt Xue staring in amazement with her chest heaving, Mrs. Xue thought she was shocked at Mrs. Mei's shamelessness in devoting herself to the person who caused her late husband's death, so she held Aunt Xue's hand.

He muttered to himself, "That boy from the Mei family is a good-for-nothing to begin with, and now even his mother has gotten into such trouble. If Qin girl marries him, what will happen? Sister-in-law, please help me talk to Brother Yi again for the sake of our family."

Listening to what Mrs. Xue said, Aunt Xue's heart was in turmoil.

She thought to herself, no wonder Zhang Yunyi seldom came to see her recently, it turned out that he had a replacement in the form of Madam Mei.

In the past, as a widow, she could hold the portrait of the deceased, which was unique among scorpions.

But compared with Mrs. May, I'm afraid she is still far behind.

Not only did she not doubt the authenticity of the matter, but she also figured out the timeline of Zhang Yun逸 and Mrs. Mei's collaboration to a high degree.

Even the image of Mrs. Mei lying in front of the coffin and the spirit tablet, swallowing her anger and being submissive, was something I could imagine.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a rolling throat, and his face turned blue, white, and red unpredictably.

When Mrs. Xue saw her like this, she didn't dare to think too much about it. She just thought that she was embarrassed and ashamed to mention the scandal between him and Madam Mei in front of Zhang Yun逸.

I could only persuade her earnestly: "I know this matter is difficult for you, sister-in-law. You don't have to be so clear at the beginning. Didn't he say last time that he would talk about it after a while? You might as well ask him first. It would be best if he agrees. If he evades the question and then uses this matter to attack you indirectly..."

After hearing what Second Mrs. Xue said, Aunt Xue finally woke up from her self-pity.

Naturally, she couldn't have the dilemma that Mrs. Xue was worried about, but she secretly wondered in her heart, could it be that Zhang Yunyi had hooked up with Mrs. Mei just to help her?
The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed. After all, Zhang Yunyi had a grudge against the Mei family. If it weren't for his begging, how could he have gone to the Mei family?
If it wasn't for himself, could it be that he was going to mourn the dead Mei Lian?

She couldn't help but feel annoyed at herself for getting into trouble, and uttered a muffled groan from her nose: "Okay! I got it. I'll ask for you when I have time. That's all right!"

Although he himself was not clean and could not comment on Mrs. Mei's behavior, Xue Pan also sneered at Mei Pi.

As Xue Baoqin's aunt, she planned to verify this matter with Zhang Yun逸 both for public and private reasons.

In addition, because Mrs. Xue II moved into the house, she had no suitable excuse to go to the East Palace for a walk.

Even if it was to abuse her power for personal gain, she would not refuse Mrs. Xue's request.

However, because there were certain assumptions, the tone was not polite.

Mrs. Xue saw it all, but the situation was beyond her control. Thinking of the difficulty, she had to pretend that she didn't notice and kept thanking him.

"Thank you for all the trouble, sister-in-law!"
