The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 661 The same spirit connects branches
"I shouldn't say this. Although my sister-in-law and the Second Madam are sisters, if something like this really happened, she would stand on the side of the Rongguo Mansion. On the contrary, we can't even write two Xue characters with one stroke. Sister-in-law, don't you think this is reasonable?"

It was impossible for Mrs. Xue to add fuel to the fire without reason, so she laid the groundwork for a long time before getting to the point.

If it weren't for Wang Xifeng's episode, she might not have thought too much about it, but now, she has invisibly added a sense of crisis.

The relationships within the Rongguo Mansion are already complicated. Wang Xifeng is not only the daughter-in-law of the eldest wife, but also the niece of Lady Wang. There is also Lady Xing, Aunt Zhao, and Sanchun.

Aunt Xue and Lady Wang are sisters, so she is the weakest one. Aunt Xue, the only one who is related to her, still has a grudge against the second wife.

Therefore, seeing that Aunt Xue had some complaints about Wang Xifeng, she did not hesitate to add fuel to the fire in order to win over Aunt Xue and keep each other warm.

When she said this, Aunt Xue immediately became alert. She glanced at her and said without comment, "Baochai has just married. It's too early to say these things now. Besides, these are just our guesses..."

The second wife of Xue couldn't wait for Aunt Xue to finish, and interrupted her: "Sister-in-law! Before today, the first wife probably didn't see it, so she exposed the matter. In the future, they may not be of the same mind!"

These four words, "of the same blood and connected branches", are concise and express the essence.

Aunt Xue couldn't help imagining an inappropriate scene in her mind, and said unhappily, "Why do you keep talking about these nonsense?"

"Sister-in-law, why do you have to deceive yourself? We can, can we stop others?"

"This……"

"So, we have to prepare for a rainy day! ~"

Mrs. Xue was the first to take the lead, but Aunt Xue was unmoved and instead became more defensive.

It’s not that she disagrees with what Mrs. Xue said, but they have different perspectives and naturally have different views.

She was indeed dissatisfied with Wang Xifeng, but that was only because of Wang Xifeng's behavior.

When Xue Baochai gives birth to a child in the future, the child will inherit the Xue family's bloodline. Even if Jia Zhuo is really Zhang Yunyi's child, he can only be kept in secret, while Xue Baochai's future children will be in the open.

He was not stingy even towards the nameless and unaffiliated Jia Zhuo, let alone his legitimate son?

Compared with the Rongguo Mansion, she was still more worried about the second house, which would affect her family's vital interests.

Of course, what Mrs. Xue said was not without reason. What happened in the past was the past, and there was no guarantee that Zhang Yunyi would be so generous in the future.

Thinking of this, Aunt Xue sighed and said, "That's true! However, although we can do something, we still have to see what Yun Yi wants. If we push him too much, I'm afraid he will be unhappy and it will be counterproductive!"

"Sister-in-law, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant!"

"Oh? So what do you mean? Tell me so we can discuss it."

"Baochai has already married, but her sister is still nowhere to be seen! I was thinking that when Baoya gets pregnant, I might as well help her sister, so that the benefits will not be lost to outsiders..."

"This……"

Aunt Xue regarded the Second House as her number one enemy, so it was naturally impossible for her to really discuss things with her.

Now that Second Madam Xue was trying to win her over, she did not want to alert the enemy, so she thought that she could just pretend to be nice and find out what she was planning.

Firstly, if there are any shady tricks, we can be on guard against them.

Secondly, he could then sell it to Zhang Yunyi, leaving the second branch of the family with the brunt of the consequences.

Although her plan was good, she regretted it deeply after hearing these words.

If Mrs. Xue had any shady tricks, it would be easy to deal with, but how could this be a shady trick?
I am afraid that if I really tell Zhang Yunyi, he will not only not blame Mrs. Xue Er for being too nosy, but will also applaud.

But if I don't mention it, there's no guarantee that Mrs. Xue won't report me.

For a moment, she couldn't help but regret that she had shot herself in the foot.

Although Mrs. Xue saw that Aunt Xue didn't care much, she was still in a difficult situation. Even though she had an affair with her niece Wang Xifeng, Mrs. Wang's sisterly love was not affected.

It is even possible that we can get closer because of this.

So, he said frankly: "Sister-in-law, please don't worry. As the saying goes, good things should be kept within the family. Rather than letting others benefit from it, it is better to let Qin girl benefit from it. How can I not remember your kindness?

To be frank, Baochai's child will inherit the Xue family's incense in the future. If Qin girl rises in the future, not only can they help each other, but even Ke'er may not rely entirely on the family's property in the future. Sister-in-law, do you think this makes sense?"

Aunt Xue didn't agree with the first words, but the second sentence really touched her.

However, Xue Baochai had just married into the family and had no family of her own, so how could she be willing to serve as a wedding gift for others?

So he evaded the question, "I understand what you said, but you also know that Bao girl has just married into the family, how can I open my mouth to ask her?"

"Look at what my sister-in-law said. How can I not distinguish between the primary and the secondary?"

Mrs. Xue said with a smile, "I think Bao is a good child. I'm afraid she will be pregnant soon. When the time comes, let Qin go over to help take care of her and help her sister share her worries. This will not only win Yun Yi's heart, but also make Bao seem generous. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Although Mrs. Xue was happy to be able to get involved, whenever Zhang Yun逸 mentioned Xue Baoqin's engagement, she always said that the time was not right.

If she could take the opportunity to make the matter a fait accompli, she would be able to rest assured.

"That's true!" Seeing that she was so tactful, Aunt Xue no longer had any doubts and agreed without hesitation.

She also contributed a lot to Xue Baoqin's affairs.

I originally felt guilty towards my daughter, but now I have a ready-made excuse.

The two reached an agreement and started chatting again.

Mrs. Xue Er suddenly asked, "Sister-in-law, we can all see that Zhuo'er looks like Yun Yi. Lian Er holds him in his arms all day long, so can't we see it?"

Aunt Xue frowned and said, "What do you mean by that? Do you dare to..."

Mrs. Xue waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry! I was thinking that if Lian Er didn't know, it would be fine. But if he pretended to be ignorant, he might be trying to get benefits from Yun Yi in various ways..."

At this point, she paused, and then continued to analyze: "However, judging from the old lady's attitude, I'm afraid it's mostly the latter..."

She didn't dare to ruin Zhang Yunyi's good deeds, but she wanted to remind Aunt Xue that there are too many monks and too little meat, and some people are harboring evil intentions, so they should stick together for warmth.

Aunt Xue was stunned when she heard this.

She was so busy blaming Wang Xifeng that she ignored Jia Lian. Only after being reminded by Mrs. Xue did she suddenly wake up.

Two years ago, I heard Xue Pan mention this with a gloating tone, saying that Jia Lian had taken medicine and had harmed his health.

"What's wrong? Did sister-in-law think of something?"

Aunt Xue narrowed her eyes, pondered for a moment, and then said, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten it. Two years ago, Wenlong mentioned that Lian Er seemed to have developed that problem. I'm afraid it's not just a way to get something for nothing, but to kill two birds with one stone!"

She wanted to dig a hole for Mrs. Xue to fall into, but she was worried that if she pulled out the radish, she would be exposed.

After that, he did not forget to remind: "Don't act rashly, I will ask Wenlong tomorrow..."

Mrs. Xue Er hurriedly responded, "How could I not know this? Besides, with our status, how can we be so embarrassed as to laugh at others when we are only fifty steps away?"

She thought about it and kindly reminded, "However, if this is the case, sister-in-law must remind Baochai. After all, she is young and may not be as open-minded as we are..."

"Yes, yes, yes! What you said makes sense. Let's ask Wenlong tomorrow. If it's really as we guessed, we really need to remind Baochai."
