The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 64: Old Lady You Sees the Mystery

With the intention of finding out some news, the mother and her two daughters in Dou Feng Xuan looked forward to it after dinner.

Unexpectedly, until the middle of the second watch, there was no sight of Youshi.

The three of them looked at the sidewalk downstairs of Tianxiang Building for a while and were about to go back to their room to rest when suddenly a petite figure flashed from the side to the front of the yard.

Third Sister You saw in the moonlight that it was the Youshi who had been waiting for a long time, and hurriedly asked, "Sister?"

"Uh……"

This sudden voice startled Youshi so much that her body froze, her legs trembled, and she almost collapsed to the ground. She gasped and asked, "You... why are you here?"

"Didn't the eldest sister say she would come over to talk with us later?" Third Sister You looked in the direction she came from and asked suspiciously, "Where are you coming from, sister?"

"I ate a bit too much last night, so I took a walk in the garden to digest it."

Yu came over hurriedly and unsteadily, and dragged the three people into the house without saying a word.

You Erjie laughed and said, "No wonder your face is so red and your head is sweating so much..."

"Hey!" Sister You San suddenly cried out softly, "Did Sister fall down? Why is there so much dust on her knees?"

"Big sister, please go inside and let us have a look. I will go find some medicinal wine and rub it on you!"

Before You Erjie finished her words, she had already returned to the room and started searching.

"No...it's okay, no need to look, it's just a bump, it's no big deal!"

"How can that be done!"

Third Sister You pulled You into the house, pushed her onto the bed without saying a word, and bent down to lift her skirt.

Yu-shi quickly put her hands on her thighs and pulled her legs back, shouting, "Don't move! I can do it myself!"

Seeing that she was emotional and did not seem to be pretending, Third Sister You withdrew her hand in disappointment.

"Sister, why are you panicking? There's no one else here. Are you afraid of being seen?"

"You! You are so impatient. When will you change your temper?"

Youshi put one hand on her thigh and slowly lifted the hem of her skirt with the other hand, lifting the hem to her knees, but she refused to move it an inch higher.

"Look! It's all blue. How could sister be so careless?"

You Erjie came to the bed with a porcelain bottle in her hand, sat down, put You's legs on her legs, and said, "I'll rub some medicinal wine on you."

Third Sister You also sat down on the edge of the bed and asked, "How did you fall while walking?"

Yu Shi calmly pressed her hands firmly on her thighs and explained, "I caught a cold a while ago and have only gotten better in the past few days. I think I am still a little weak and I didn't stand steadily when I walked."

"Cold? Could it be that I got it from my brother-in-law?"

"That's not the case. It suddenly rained a few days ago and I got a little wet."

Speaking of the heavy rain, Youshi couldn't help but recall what happened before the rain, and her cheeks turned red again.

As she spoke, You Erjie had already smeared medicinal wine on her knees and kneaded them gently, saying, "Sister, lift up your skirt a little more so I can see if there's anything wrong with your legs."

"Okay! How can your elder sister not know what I've really hit?"

Sitting in the house, watching coldly and keeping silent, Old Lady You suddenly asked, "Could it be that Master also caught a cold at that time?"

You Shi nodded subconsciously and said, "Yes! I will get better soon." Old Lady You looked at You Shi with her hairpins messy and said meaningfully, "My son-in-law will probably get better soon too, right? If you sweat a little more now, maybe you will get better faster."

"Huh?" You Erjie and You Sanjie looked at me in confusion.

A trace of panic flashed across Youshi's face, and she said anxiously, "Mother, please don't spread it around."

"Although you didn't come out of my belly, we are still mother and daughter. Why should you be shy in front of me?"

Old Lady You said with a smile on her face: "You young people, it's okay to change your ways occasionally. I'm an experienced person, how can I not understand these things? However, my son-in-law is not well yet, so you can just stay in the house, why bother coming out to blow the wind?"

Youshi didn't expect that her stepmother was so sharp-eyed and could see the secret at a glance.

But this son-in-law was not that son-in-law, and she couldn't explain it. She was also worried that they would tell Jia Zhen about it, so she felt anxious and embarrassed, and her face turned red immediately.

"Please mother, give your daughter some face and don't mention this matter in front of me."

Since there is no explanation, we can only let it go.

"Don't worry! This is a private matter between you and your wife. Can I still talk about this in front of my son-in-law?"

Yushi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer she might accidentally leak something, so she quickly retracted her legs, straightened her skirt, and stood up to say goodbye.

"I'm a little tired today. Mother and sisters should go to bed early. I'll sleep here tonight. We'll talk tomorrow!"

Since he had long planned to stay overnight in the garden under the pretext of meeting his stepmother and sister, and had already informed the courtyard, going back now would arouse suspicion.

After seeing You off, the mother and daughter of the You family did not leave.

Old Lady You said with a smug look on her face: "I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. I'm not wrong. Do you believe me this time?"

"So, my sister is really in power?"

"How could it be false?" Old Lady You said with a look of relief, "I didn't expect this girl to have come to her senses and figure out these tricks..."

When she said this, her expression suddenly froze, as if she had thought of something and fell into deep thought.

When You Erjie and You Sanjie saw that she suddenly fell into deep thought, they didn't understand why, but they didn't dare to disturb her thoughts, so they looked at each other.

After pondering for a long while, she slowly said, "You think, the eldest sister brought us here because she wanted you sisters to accompany her... uh... help her consolidate her favor?"

As she spoke, her eyes moved back and forth between her two daughters' faces, finally stopping at Third Sister Yu's face, and her eyes gradually became more intense.

"Mother, you are confused! Don't you know what's going on in this mansion?" Third Sister You said angrily, "When we came here in the past, the father and son were greedy and hungry. We are precious people, so it's fine for us to tease them, but are we really going to accompany them in making a real play?"

"I haven't even finished my words, why are you so anxious!" Old Lady You shouted, "Your sister has helped to block it in the past, why did she take the initiative to bring us here this time? Besides, you are sisters after all. If your reputation is ruined, it will be good for her, right?"

"Humph!" Third Sister You sneered, "So what? Is she going to give up her position as the legal wife?"

"Bah! How could I give birth to a money-loser like you who is so ambitious but incompetent! You care about being a wife or a concubine, wearing gold and silver, silk and satin, but with your sister here, what can be done without you? Besides, sisters are like sisters in battle, you sisters are united and help each other, isn't it a hundred times better than marrying those poor boys outside?"

"If you want to marry someone rich and stay here to enjoy the good life, don't think about me. Everyone knows what kind of person my brother-in-law is. My sister is only getting better now, and who knows what will happen in the future!"

Seeing that her youngest daughter was stubborn and unyielding, Old Lady You had no choice but to turn her attention to Second Sister You.

You Erjie lowered her head and said softly, "Mother, my daughter...my daughter has an engagement."
