The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 676 Confident
The next day, early in the morning.

Zhang Yunyi opened his arms and asked Qingwen and Ying'er to help him get dressed. At the same time, he looked at Baochai who was struggling to get up and said with a smile, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"I am not tired..."

"Oh?" Zhang Yunyi pushed aside the two maids, knelt down in front of Baochai, and asked eagerly, "Really?"

"No... no!" Baochai was horrified and quickly denied, "I just wanted to tell mother the good news I told you yesterday as soon as possible... so that I can prepare earlier."

Zhang Yunyi finally gave up. When he stood up, he did not forget to hook her chin, rubbed her lips with his thumb twice, and said jokingly: "The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie. Baochai is beautiful, but she can really deceive people with her mouth..."

Baochai's face suddenly became unnatural when she heard this. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yunyi paused and said in a pretentious tone: "Last night, you made me vent a lot of bitterness! ~"

"Master!" Baochai's worry turned into joy, and she said angrily, "Master, you are not afraid of being heard."

Zhang Yunyi propped up the bed with both hands, stood up and turned around, pinched Qingwen and Ying'er's cheeks, then hugged them left and right, and said with a smile: "You divided the spoils among yourself, and these two also got a share of the profits. Are you still afraid that they will tell others?"

After a round of laughter, when everyone had put on their clothes, Zhang Yunyi said to Baochai, "I have to go out and practice a few sets of boxing. Since you are in a hurry to go back, you don't have to wait for me."

He seldom does morning exercises, and letting Baochai stay in Dengxian Pavilion last night could only be regarded as a reward for her suggestion. He would not break the rules again today.

The reason why he acted like that just now was simply because Baochai's behavior aroused his suspicion, and he took the opportunity to judge her motives.

Yesterday, the Fu siblings had just arrived in Beijing, so Aunt Xue released Xue Pan, and luckily she went to find Fu Shi.

Combined with Baochai's suggestion, Zhang Yunyi couldn't help but make some guesses, so he made another attempt to make a judgment.

Although he had never met Fu Qiufang in person, she had a certain reputation in the original novel.

Mrs. Wang and the mother and daughter of the Xue family all had their eyes on her, and it was obvious that she had some merits.

Xue Baochai had been delayed for a whole night and really wanted to go back and report the good news as soon as possible, so she quickly agreed, washed up, returned to Rongguo Mansion through the corner gate, and went straight to the Xue family courtyard.

As soon as she entered the house, she saw Aunt Xue with a pair of panda eyes. She quickly apologized, "Mother, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. It's not your daughter... It's our grandfather..."

Aunt Xue looked at Baochai, whose face was filled with joy, and an inappropriate scene involuntarily emerged in her mind, and a feeling of sourness suddenly welled up in her heart.

"Ouch!"

She was about to take this opportunity to vent her jealousy, but then she realized what was happening and quickly changed her words, "You guys didn't even bother to send someone back to tell me. I was so worried."

"Ah?" Baochai asked in surprise, "Brother hasn't come back yet?"

"That's right!" Aunt Xue complained, "She said she went to Jinxiang Courtyard."

"Huh? Didn't mother say that my brother didn't send anyone back?"

"Fortunately, He San was smart enough. When he saw your brother taking Fu Shi to Jinxiang Courtyard, he was afraid of taking responsibility, so he secretly came back."

"Then did mother ask He San about my brother and his..."

"I asked, I asked everything, how could He San explain it clearly? All I know is that the two of them had a very pleasant conversation in Quyuan Zatan, and then went to Jinxiangyuan arm in arm."

Aunt Xue gave a brief explanation and then urged, "Tell me quickly, what did Yun Yi say?"

"I agree!"

At this point, Xue Baochai blushed slightly, perhaps because she felt that this statement was too frivolous, and she quickly added: "Last night, I had to work very hard to convince you, but it was too late and it was not convenient for me to leave. I thought my mother had probably gone to bed, so I didn't ask Ying'er to come back and report!" Last night, she had already explained everything to Zhang Yunyi and told him that this was the result of a discussion among the three of them, so there was nothing wrong with sending Ying'er to inform Aunt Xue.

However, she was so busy calling Ying'er for help that she forgot that her mother was still waiting for news. Seeing that Aunt Xue had not slept all night, she felt bad and thought of Zhang Yunyi's teasing in the morning, she learned to play it on the spot.

When Aunt Xue heard this, her heart trembled. She couldn't help but feel the same way as Xue Baochai said.

He smacked the bitter taste in his mouth and forced a smile, "That's good! That's good! You must be tired too, so just rest here. I'll go find your aunt."

"Aren't you waiting for brother to come back?" Xue Baochai asked hurriedly, "After all, there is no definite news about He San. Although brother and Fu Shi had a good chat, he has always been unruly. What if..."

"Oh!" Aunt Xue sneered, "What could possibly happen? Fu Shi is from a small family and has little knowledge. He has just arrived in the capital and doesn't know the situation of your aunt's family. Now, apart from this house, what else can compare to ours?

Isn't being your brother's wife a hundred times better than being Baoyu's mistress? Moreover, they are just a couple in name only, and she can still hook up with Yun Yi in secret. If he is not mentally ill, he will naturally know what to choose.

As for your aunt, if you don’t make things clear now, what if she gets ahead of you and makes things a done deal, and then tells Yun Yi…”

At this point, she paused and changed her words: "If you take advantage of your age... Yun Yi may not be able to support us at that time. You saw what happened yesterday. We have to act quickly to avoid any more trouble."

Although Aunt Xue's words made sense, Xue Baochai was still a little worried and said thoughtfully, "Or I can accompany my mother!"

"You're tired and have been up all night, just rest here. I'll go!"

Aunt Xue flatly refused. With Baochai around, many things were inconvenient to say. Anyway, the two sisters knew each other well, so it would be better for her to go to the meeting alone and speak frankly, which would be more convenient.

"Huh?" Xue Baochai was stunned when she heard this, and thought to herself, how does her mother know that I'm tired after spending most of the night?
But then he suddenly realized that maybe it was because of his excuse just now that she believed it.

After figuring out the problem, she quickly asked, "What is mother going to tell my aunt?"

"What else can I say?" Aunt Xue argued. "You saw what happened yesterday. It's impossible for Baoyu from her family to take all the benefits. Last time, I didn't say anything about Miss Xia. Do you want to make the wife I chose a concubine for Baoyu this time?"

The reason why she asked Xue Baochai to greet Zhang Yun逸 in advance was naturally to use the tiger's skin to make a big banner.

It is even possible that he will have a direct showdown with Mrs. Wang.

However, there are some details here that are difficult to discuss with Xue Baochai, so she can only use Xia Jingui's excuse to bluff.

Even though she had tried her best to moderate her attitude, Xue Baochai still had doubts in her mind: "But if this happens, I'm afraid mother and aunt..."

Aunt Xue said disapprovingly, "This is a different time. You know your aunt is a person who always thinks highly of Baoyu. Now that we want to take Baoyu away, how can she not hate us? It is for this reason that I did not let you go with us."

Baochai also understood everything immediately. She cared too much about the status of a concubine and always wanted to take care of everything, but forgot that it was difficult to take care of the beginning and the end.

Now that Aunt Xue reminded him, he made a quick decision.

"Mother is right. It's my daughter who is too cautious. In that case, mother, please do what you want!"

Everything has to be done in a priority order. If you fail to accomplish this task, you will truly lose the qualification to compete.

Aunt Xue, seeing that she had comforted Baochai, said confidently, "Well, then you can rest here and wait for my good news!"

After saying that, he walked straight out of the house and headed straight for Rong Xi Tang.
