The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 635 The thief never escapes
Xue Pan was worried that Aunt Xue would worry about him, but unexpectedly, Aunt Xue didn't care about him.

At this moment, she was lying on the door frame of Huifang Garden, giving her whole body and soul to Zhang Yunyi behind her, just burying her head and panting heavily.

"Our...our affairs have been discovered by Qin's mother!"

"Oh?" Zhang Yunyi heard this, not only did he not slow down his pace, but he became more interested. "How did she know?"

Aunt Xue was stunned. Zhang Yunyi's question stumped her.

"This...I can't really explain this..."

Because Mrs. Xue's words were ambiguous, she didn't know how to ask, and she had no way of judging how she figured out the clues.

However, it is obviously putting the cart before the horse to worry about these things now.

The reason why she had been holding back and chose to tell Zhang Yunyi at this time was also a test.

Even if a cow doesn't want to drink water, you can force its head down, and it still has to consider what people are doing.

Although she had a comprehensive plan, she would be helpless if Zhang Yunyi did not play by the rules.

Realizing that Zhang Yunyi was in high spirits, she quickly lowered her waist a little more so that she could stick her buttocks up high.

He continued intermittently: "It's just...it's just...she has something to say."

"What? Did she threaten you?"

"Although it's not explicitly stated, it's probably the same!"

Although what Aunt Xue said was true, Zhang Yun逸 still had reservations.

After all, you can't write two "Xue" characters with one stroke. Aunt Xue has repeatedly asked him to help Xue Baoqin break off the engagement, so Zhang Yunyi cannot completely rule out the possibility that she is playing a double game with Second Mrs. Xue.

Or maybe it was pure nonsense, and she was just using this as an excuse to ask me to help Xue Baoqin break off the engagement.

So, he increased his strength and asked tentatively, "Do you want me to agree to help Sister Baoqin break off the engagement?"

"Hmm!" Aunt Xue groaned, then shook her head like a rattle and said hurriedly, "No, no, no!"

"No?" Zhang Yunyi couldn't help but ask curiously, "Then what do you think?"

"Human greed is greedy. We are threatened by her this time. I can't guarantee that she won't go further and plot more in the future."

Aunt Xue took a breath and continued, "Instead of keeping this thing hanging around, it's better to drag her down with it and put an end to it all."

She didn't want to be controlled by others, and if she wanted to completely shut up Mrs. Xue, she had no choice but to drag her into the water.

Zhang Yun逸 didn't expect that someone would send her a pillow just when she was sleepy. Just as she started to have feelings for Mrs. Xue, Aunt Xue suggested dragging her into the water.

He did think about using Xue Baoqin's engagement to keep Second Madam Xue hanging, but doing so would inevitably lead to losing one thing while gaining another.

He hurriedly asked, "How can we pull her into the water?"

"It's simple. I have already persuaded her to come to the East Mansion and talk to you in person. When she comes, you can arrange dinner in advance and put some drugs in the wine. Don't worry that she won't obey. By then, the matter will be settled..."

I don’t know if it was because Zhang Yunyi was too strong or for some other reason, but Aunt Xue was told to surrender obediently. When she turned around and looked at Zhang Yunyi, her eyes looked a little ferocious.

Zhang Yunyi was stunned. Although he poached many people, most of them relied on their skills. He had never used such despicable means as drugging.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Xue could be so cruel and even use such tactics on her own sister-in-law.

However, on second thought, although she did not have the status she has today, she was still a high-ranking official in the inner court. She dared to do tricks behind his back for the small profits of sugar and caustic soda.

Now, with my support, it is not surprising that he dares to use this trick against Mrs. Xue.

Although Zhang Yunyi has a flexible bottom line, this kind of thing requires mutual consent, and he disdains to use such despicable means.

Moreover, this kind of thing has a big disadvantage. If Mrs. Xue has a hot temper and causes some trouble, even if she is not caught, it will affect her own image, which she has worked so hard to establish in front of the golden hairpins.

"Clap clap clap!"

He warned Aunt Xue by slapping her left and right, saying, "Don't mention this again. How could I do such a despicable thing?" "But..."

"No buts. If you catch an adulterer, you have to catch both of them. She has no evidence. If she dares to threaten you with this, you can just tell her to think about it and see how much she weighs!"

Although he disdains to drug people, he is not someone who can be controlled by everyone.

If Mrs. Xue really didn't understand the situation and dared to make groundless accusations and use them to threaten him, he wouldn't mind teaching her a lesson.

Anyway, if there are too many lice, you don't have to be afraid of their bites. He is now famous, and all the affairs of Mrs. Mei are on file with the emperor.

One more Aunt Xue wouldn't be too much, not to mention, there was no way he could be caught by Second Mrs. Xue, so there was no real evidence.

Aunt Xue was so frightened by him that she immediately fell silent. After a long while, she hesitantly said, "The matter about Qin girl..."

Zhang Yun逸 seemed displeased, and Aunt Xue did not dare to tell him about the incident of beheading without reporting to the authorities later.

However, she had already made a big promise before, and this time she came here under the guise of making an appointment.

If the Second Mrs. Xue could be successfully dragged into the water, Aunt Xue naturally wouldn't have to worry about her leaking the news.

Even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered. If this time, not only will they return empty-handed, but Zhang Yunyi will even disappear. She is worried that Mrs. Xue will become desperate and make some irrational decision.

By then, Zhang Yunyi might not be seriously injured, but even if the second house was not well treated, she would be too ashamed to see anyone.

He planned to persuade Zhang Yunyi first, and use Xue Baoqin's engagement to stabilize the second wife Xue.

Although Zhang Yunyi saw Aunt Xue's concerns, he still did not back down and said, "Don't worry about this!"

He paused, then added: "If you feel you can't speak up, let her come to me!"

Seeing that Aunt Xue was not confident enough, he simply took over the matter.

Firstly, since Second Mrs. Xue was anxious to break off the engagement and knew about the situation between him and Aunt Xue, she might as well lay things out clearly.

If I let Aunt Xue pass the message between the two parties, I would inevitably worry that she would distort my meaning and cause unnecessary trouble.

Secondly, it is indeed not the right time to help Xue Baoqin break off the engagement. But if we cannot reach a consensus with Mrs. Xue, wouldn’t it be a waste of time and in the end, nothing will come of it?

This was also hard to accept for Zhang Yun逸, who never left empty-handed.

Although he had some feelings for Mrs. Xue, he did not lose sight of the main purpose.

But the bad thing is that the relationship between him and Aunt Xue has been known by Second Mrs. Xue, and there is no guarantee that she won't care about this relationship.

If things are impossible to do, and Mrs. Xue is determined not to agree to allow Xue Baoqin to be her concubine, she can only settle for the second best, taking care of the bigger picture first and then slowly planning for the smaller ones.

By talking face to face with Mrs. Xue, he also wanted to take advantage of the face-to-face opportunity to observe her words and expressions so that he could make timely judgments and choices.

Although what Zhang Yunyi said was quite different from Aunt Xue's expectations, he at least gave in and gave Second Mrs. Xue a chance for a face-to-face meeting.

Aunt Xue went back and was able to explain everything.

However, she was also worried that the two sides would fall out, so she suggested, "Either you find an excuse to delay for a while, and then when you can't delay any longer, or find a suitable time, call her over?"

What she said reminded Zhang Yunyi that he could use Madam Mei's incident as a pretext to make Madam Xue afraid to act rashly.

He thought for a moment, then said, "Well, you can tell them that I have a lot of things to do in the government office recently. When I am free one day, I will ask Jin Chuan to pass on a message to you, and then ask her to come over."

After finishing the explanation, Zhang Yunyi said no more and focused on greeting Aunt Xue, who was bowing down to him.

“Hmm!~Hmm!~”

Aunt Xue didn't dare to spoil his fun anymore, so she could only nod in response.
