The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 630 Immature Thoughts
Zhang Yunyi didn't mind the chaotic atmosphere here in the first place, and he had said everything he needed to say. Seeing Mingyan coming, he didn't stay any longer.

He waved his hand at Jia Baoyu and said, "Remember what the master told you, don't go out and show off!"

"Hoo! Hoo!"

Jia Baoyu hurriedly bowed and saw him off.

Speaking of Mingyan, he was originally Jia Baoyu's servant, and in the past, he had often flirted with Jia Baoyu.

However, later on, Jiang Yuhan came along and the old was replaced by the new one, so he could only spy and watch with envy.

Now that I see Jia Baoyu again, I can't help but feel hesitant and reluctant.

Jia Baoyu couldn't help but ask about the details of Prince Beijing's visit yesterday.

Mingyan had no choice but to exaggerate what happened yesterday.

After hearing this, Jia Baoyu was shocked and said, "You mean... Prince Beijing was being carried like a chicken..."

"Oh! That's right! Hearing is not as good as seeing. That's Prince Beijing! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. Master Yi actually dared to do this to him!"

Mingyan added fuel to the fire and said in an exaggerated manner, "But the King of Beijing dared to be angry but could not speak. Seeing his frustrated look, I felt so relieved! Second Master, don't worry. Although Master Yi has the indenture of Qi Guan, he has a good reason. But in my opinion, even without the indenture, the King of Beijing would not dare to act presumptuously in front of him!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Baoyu fell into deep thought.

The thought that Mingyan had just interrupted and had not given me time to think about came to my mind again.

Although they were both adopted sons, Zhang Yun逸 only let Jia Huan enter the Taoist school and awarded him an insignificant official position.

He had always been disdainful of official positions, and instead felt that Zhang Yunyi would respond to his every request.

He asked himself that although his mother and Aunt Zhao each had their own merits, he could not go against his conscience and say that Mrs. Wang was better than Aunt Zhao.

Considering Zhang Yun逸's good relationship with Cao thief, the reason may be that in his heart, a concubine is not as good as a wife.

Although Xiren helped him to fulfill his filial piety, since in Zhang Yunyi's heart, a concubine is not as good as a wife, if...

Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but beat fast.

It’s not that he has any cuckold complex, but Mingyan’s words touched him deeply.

It's still true what the saying goes: the more you can't get, the more you want it.

Prince Beijing treated Jiang Yuhan like this, and he treated Prince Beijing the same way.

Hearing that Prince Beijing dared not speak out in front of Zhang Yun逸, he couldn't help but have some ideas.

However, since Zhang Yunyi asked him to temporarily avoid the edge of Prince Beijing, it was obviously not enough to make Prince Beijing afraid to act rashly.

However, it is too early to make a judgment now. After all, Zhang Yun逸 is still only a marquis.

But the emperor had already promised him the title of duke.

In addition, compared to my own helplessness, this sign meant there was a glimmer of possibility.

He knew very well that good steel should be used on the blade, and now he had to accompany Jiang Yuhan to Tianjin.

On the one hand, he secretly made up his mind that when he returned from Tianjin, he would pay more attention to the affairs of the court. On the other hand, he was planning to wait until the time was right to please Zhang Yun逸 so that he could help him and fulfill his wish.

Although I don't want to admit it, I am just taking advantage of the power of others.

But when I thought about how Prince Beijing was intimidated by Zhang Yunyi's power and dared not to breathe in front of me.

Jia Baoyu couldn't help but feel secretly pleased with himself, and felt that marrying Xia Jingui was not in vain.

Even Mingyan seemed more handsome after looking at him.

……

Zhang Yunyi would never have imagined that before he could make a move on Xia Jingui, this couple in name only had their eyes on him.

Of course, even if he knew Jia Baoyu's plan, he would be happy to see these rabbits get involved.

But at the moment, he is still unable to meet Jia Baoyu's expectations and make King Beijing intimidated by his power and bow to Jia Baoyu.

Therefore, he still followed his own ideas and proceeded step by step.

However, Xia Jingui, who had the same idea as Jia Baoyu, lived in the small courtyard behind Rong Xi Tang for a few days.

When Baochan had inquired the servants about the matter, she could no longer hold back. Early that morning, she brought Baochan to Rongxi Hall.

As soon as he saw Mrs. Wang, he burst into tears and said, "After getting married, he didn't even show me his face. He just kept hanging out with the actors outside. He kept me in the same room with a beast all day. How can I live like this?"

Mrs. Wang was suddenly overwhelmed. Although she knew that what Xia Jingui said was the truth, and that it could no longer be concealed after Prince Beijing made such a fuss on the wedding day, she was unwilling to admit it even if she was trying to cover up the truth.

"Quick! Yuchuan, send everyone away!"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked Yuchuan to send the servants away while she comforted him kindly, "Oh! My dear, don't listen to the gossip outside. Baoyu is indeed suffering from hysteria and is recuperating at Yunyi's farm!"

Seeing Mrs. Wang hurriedly sending the servants away, Xia Jingui became more fearless.

She pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes, and said coldly, "Don't think anyone is a fool. The Beijing King has come to ask for me, so could it be fake? If I don't make things clear today, I'll ask him to just write me a divorce letter and send me home!"

Mrs. Wang knew she was in the wrong, so she quickly said humbly, "Let's talk it over nicely! You've just gotten married, how can you be clamoring to go back to your parents' home right after you get married?"

Although Jia Baoyu was very opposed to marriage, Mrs. Wang still hoped that her son would one day turn over a new leaf.

Not to mention that the marriage has only been going on for a few days, there is no reason to divorce the wife. Even if it is possible, one has to consider the consequences.

Now Prince Beijing is still eyeing her covetously. If the matter becomes known to everyone, even if Jia Baoyu changes his mind in the future, there may not be a girl of equal status to marry if he wants to get married.

"Is this considered a marriage? What's the difference between this and being at my parents' house? It's even worse than when I was at my parents' house! At least, I don't have to share a room with a beast. Your Rongguo Mansion is a wealthy family, and my Xia family is not just any cat or dog. Not to mention the barking early in the morning, who can stand the smell?"

Xia Jingui put her hands on her hips and said confidently, "Anyway, no matter what, I won't live in the same room with that beast!"

Mrs. Wang scolded Jia Baoyu harshly, saying that he had lived a good life but had left behind such a mess.

On the other hand, he advised kindly: "I really wronged you. Why don't you move the chickens to the outer room? That way, you can have more peace and quiet."

She didn't think too much about it. Put yourself in her shoes. Who would want to keep a chicken in the house as a young lady from a wealthy family?

I can only settle for the second best and give Xia Jingui some peace and quiet, and also give myself some peace and quiet.

Unexpectedly, Xia Jingui bit back, "I told you that you have bad intentions. This rooster is a substitute for your son. According to custom, you have to wait until he comes back before moving it out. Now that he hasn't come back yet, you move it out first. People who know it may think it's your son's problem, but those who don't may think I'm being unreasonable!"

Mrs. Wang said unhappily, "Then what do you think we should do?"

Xia Jingui was waiting for her to say this, and hurriedly said, "I heard that he has a yard in the garden. Now that he refuses to come back, it doesn't matter if I move there!"

"No!" Mrs. Wang refused flatly.

"No? Don't look at me. I don't know. The daughters of the mansion can live in it when they go out, but the proper grandmother in my mansion can't live there?"

"This..." Mrs. Wang was suddenly speechless.

She didn't treat them differently, but when Zhang Yun逸 obstructed the engagement, Mrs. Wang suspected him and thought he had set his sights on Xia Jingui.

It is true that the Grand View Garden is in the Rong Mansion, but for Zhang Yunyi, it is defenseless. How could he be willing to send a sheep into the tiger's mouth?
Although the same is true for the rear house of Rongguo Mansion, the small courtyard in the back building is at least under his own nose.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was at a loss for words, Xia Jingui said, "It seems that you don't really regard me as your wife. If that's the case, then we'll just part ways!"

As she spoke, she waved at Baochan and said, "Let's go! Pack up and go home! Let's go and ask the outsiders to judge the matter and see who is at fault!"

Family disgrace should not be made public. Mrs. Wang could barely accept Xia Jingui's decision to return to her parents' home, but she would never tolerate seeking justice from outsiders.

He immediately frowned and said, "Nonsense! A daughter who is married off is like water spilled. How can you be so cruel?"

"You tricked me into marrying a fool and becoming a widow. I just wanted to move to a quieter place, but you blame me instead?"

Xia Jingui sneered: "Ha! Let's make it clear today. We have never seen such rules in our Xia family. We really can't stand your family being wronged like this! What? If you, Rongguo Mansion, really intend to bully others by taking advantage of your power, I don't believe that there is no place for reasoning under the feet of the emperor!"

Before this, Mrs. Wang sent her servants to let Xia Jingui seize her weakness.

Seeing that Xia Jingui was determined to achieve her goal, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but think of Zhang Yunyi's kind reminder and regretted it deeply.

Thinking about how much effort she had put in, but Jia Baoyu failed to live up to her expectations and left such a mess behind, she suddenly felt disheartened.

She sighed, "Forget it! Since you want to live in the garden, it's fine to move there. But, although the garden is in the mansion, all expenses are provided by the East Mansion, so you can't be as free as in the backyard."

She had begun to waver in her original speculation, but even if Jia Baoyu divorced his wife and remarried, she could not let Xia Jingui spread Jia Baoyu's affairs.

Things can be resolved if we take it slow. Letting her move into Yihongyuan can also be a delaying tactic.
