The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 682 Awakening from a dream
The next day, the sun rises three poles.

The winter sun penetrated the window screen, sprinkled on the warm bedding, and woke up the sleeping Fu Qiufang.

She opened her eyes blearily, and was surprised to find that there was no one around her.

She suddenly shuddered, glanced at the sky outside, kicked her legs suddenly in the quilt, and was about to sit up from the bed, but she couldn't help but gasp, so she had to give up halfway and fell back into bed.

He grinned for a long time, then carefully supported the bed with both hands and slowly sat down on the headboard.

After all, she was not his own wife. Although Zhang Yunyi was not rude to her, he definitely did not care for her either.

In addition, there was no maid in the house to share the burden, and even though Fu Qiufang was already in her prime, she still couldn't bear the burden.

Fu Qiufang didn't know that she had mistaken her husband, and that so-called husband, in fact, left her after the job was done, hiding his achievements and fame.

Instead, she thought Zhang Yun逸 was particularly considerate and could not bear to wake her up, so she went to serve tea to Aunt Xue alone.

She felt very happy and didn't want to blame Zhang Yunyi, as this would make her mother-in-law think she was impolite.

After she had carefully put on her clothes and was about to push the door open to ask the servants to fetch some water, she saw two maids coming in carrying washbasins.

"Grandma is awake!"

"Where is the husband?"

"Master said that grandma worked hard last night, and asked me to wait until grandma wakes up and then help her get up."

really!

Fu Qiufang felt warm in her heart, but when she heard the word "hard work", she couldn't help blushing and asked quickly, "Are you usually serving by my side? Why didn't I see you yesterday?"

"Grandma, you are joking. I am Tongxi and Tonggui, and I am the maidservant beside the Madam."

Hearing that it was Aunt Xue's maid, Fu Qiufang became even more embarrassed and said quickly, "I... I can do it myself!"

Tongxi and Tonggui were not willing to give in. They pushed Fu Qiufang, who was red-headed and swollen, to sit in front of the dressing table and said with a smile, "Madam has ordered that grandma is a great contributor to our family, and she wants the servants to serve grandma well in dressing and washing!"

In the cold winter, Fu Qiufang couldn't help but feel a warm current surge in her heart, rushing through her limbs.

I can't help but sigh that fate is wonderful. I have wasted my time until this age, but finally the clouds have cleared and the moon has appeared. Not only is my husband understanding and considerate, and the couple lives in harmony, but even my mother-in-law is so kind.

Thinking of this, she stopped refusing and said quickly, "Then I'll have to trouble you to hurry up so that mother-in-law won't have to wait for a long time!"

At Fu Qiufang's insistence, after a simple wash, she came to the edge of the bed and started searching.

"Grandma, what are you looking for?" Tongxi and Tonggui saw this and hurried forward to ask.

"No...nothing."

Fu Qiufang spoke vaguely while searching on her own.

But after searching for a long time, she found nothing. Fu Qiufang was shocked. The new bride was coming home, and the handkerchief from last night could not be lost.

However, on second thought, apart from the two of us, no one else had been in this room, and it was clearly in good condition last night, so it was most likely that my husband had taken it away to show my mother-in-law in advance.

She stopped searching and went out with the help of two maids.

When she arrived at the main hall where Aunt Xue was, Fu Qiufang couldn't help feeling a little timid. She looked at her nose with her eyes, her heart with her nose, lowered her head, and stepped over the threshold with difficulty.

Fang's mouth twitched, and he bowed deeply to Aunt Xue who was sitting in the main hall and said, "Daughter-in-law greets mother-in-law..."

"Good boy, don't be so polite!"

Aunt Xue's gentle voice sounded, but then she said sternly, "What are you still standing there for? Help her up!"

The latter sentence was obviously not directed at Fu Qiufang, but instead of standing up, she insisted on kneeling on the ground, holding on to Tongxi and Tonggui who came forward to support her.

She raised her head with a blushing face and looked at Aunt Xue and said, "I haven't served tea to my mother-in-law yet!"

As she spoke, she quickly glanced around the room, but could not find Zhang Yunyi. Instead, she saw a fat, big-eared strange man looking at her with a smile.

Fu Qiufang was stunned. But she heard Aunt Xue say with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes! Bring the tea quickly!"

Fu Qiufang was wondering how she could serve tea by herself, but she saw the hateful stranger walking quickly to her side and kneeling on the ground with a plop.

Fu Qiufang was immediately horrified. She didn't care about touching the painful spot. She knelt down a few steps to the side in a hurry as if she was pricked by a needle, and stayed away from him. She looked alert and said incoherently: "You...what are you doing here? Who are you? Where is my husband?"

"Madam, don't panic! Aren't you going to serve tea to mother?"

Fu Qiufang's mind buzzed, and she looked around blankly and asked, "Who is your mother? Who is your wife? Who are you calling your wife?"

Aunt Xue quickly comforted her, "Oh! Don't panic, daughter-in-law, just listen to us and we will explain it to you slowly!"

She then glared at Xue Pan who was kneeling on the ground, and said with some complaint: "I told you not to hide this from her. You should have made it clear earlier. Look, you scared her!"

Marriage fraud?

This thought suddenly popped up in Fu Qiufang's mind, and she couldn't stop it. But then she thought, even if her brother sold her out, she couldn't let others prepare the bridal chamber, right?
Thinking of this, she asked with a hint of luck, "What are you hiding from me?"

Aunt Xue didn't know where to start for a moment, but Xue Pan smiled and said carelessly: "There are three unfilial acts, and the worst is to have no offspring. Unfortunately, I have a secret that I can't tell you about, and I can't have any offspring. I married you to leave an heir for the family...

But don't worry, I know my sister likes to be coquettish, and you don't like me, Old Xue. We are just a couple in name only, and I will never touch you. Behind the scenes, you just need to take care of Brother Yi...

By the way, the man you spent your wedding night with yesterday was my brother-in-law, Duke of Wei Zhang Yunyi. I think you are very satisfied with him, and it is not wronged for you to be with him...

If you don't want to toast with me, it's fine. I won't force you. But, we finally got Brother Yi's help. You must give birth to my son..."

It was hard to believe Xue Pan, as he was concise and explained the whole story in just a few words.

After Fu Qiufang heard this, she felt mixed emotions.

If Zhang Yunyi hadn't done that, she might have been able to get along with Xue Pan.

After all, in ancient times, marriages were arranged by parents and matchmakers, and it was common for couples to meet for the first time on the wedding day.

But now, she has to spend the rest of her life with Xue Pan, and she wishes she could just die.

Fortunately, although it is still a little hard to accept, it is not the worst ending after all.

Although it's a little hard to say, at least I don't have to compromise and live with Xue Pan for the rest of my life.

She was already familiar with Zhang Yunyi's name. Her brother came to Beijing with the intention of getting in touch with Zhang Yunyi through Jia Baoyu's relationship.

Along the way, he often heard Fu Shi and Jia Baoyu talking about him.

I didn't expect that I actually mistook him for my husband, and it was a mistake...

No, the Xue family's attitude should be called deliberate.

However, Xue Pan was full of dirty words. How could she have the nerve to admit in front of the Xue mother and son that she was indeed very satisfied with Zhang Yunyi's character and performance?

He could only say with a sad face: "You...you actually..."

"It's not that I want to hide it, but isn't it Brother Fu who insists on hiding it from you?"

Xue Pan sold Fu Shi without hesitation.

Fu Qiufang, who knew Fu Shi's purpose of coming to Beijing, had no doubt about it.

Aunt Xue quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, yes! Although this matter is not easy to say, it is also for the sake of the family's incense. Besides, you have also seen Yun Yi, he is a handsome man and a Duke. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?"

Although the Xue mother and son swore solemnly, Fu Qiufang still had doubts.

"You...you said that we are just...just a fake couple?"

"Don't worry about that. You will live in the east wing from now on, and I will live in the front yard as usual..."
