The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 683 Careful thinking
That night.

After the court was dismissed, Zhang Yunyi, dressed in a python robe, came to the Xue family again.

Although he did not buy the car, he has the right to use it, not to mention that it is a new car.

So he continued to follow his own old routine.

He had already informed Aunt Xue of this when he went to the yamen in the morning.

Xue Pan, who had been looking forward to it, immediately greeted him with a smile: "Brother Yi, please come in!"

He then said with a trace of shame on his face, "Your sister-in-law is still a little embarrassed. Are you going to eat dinner outside, or come in and eat with her?"

Actually, Zhang Yun逸 is two years older than him, but from Xue Baochai's point of view, it is not inappropriate to call her sister-in-law.

Of course, nothing tastes better than dumplings… Xue Pan, who often hangs out in red-light districts, knows that Zhang Yun逸 has a crush on Cao thief.

Calling her sister-in-law obviously has a profound meaning.

While greeting Zhang Yunyi, he raised his hands, scratched his forehead twice, and winked at him.

With his fat and big-eared appearance and behavior, he looks just like a shit-headed fly scratching its head.

Although this look was creepy, Zhang Yunyi felt a little embarrassed by Xue Pan's enthusiasm. He nodded and said, "There's no rush over there. Let her eat by herself. It's better for us brothers to talk while eating."

"Hey! Hey!" Xue Pan couldn't help but be happy and quickly invited Zhang Yunyi into the side hall.

Xue Pan was not in a serious mood either. During the meal, he did nothing more than tell Fu Qiufang that she had moved to the east wing.

The rest of the talk was just some meaningless nonsense like asking Zhang Yun逸 to worry more about him and help him fulfill his wish as soon as possible.

However, because of this, Xue Pan did not insist too much. When he saw Zhang Yunyi had eaten and drunk his fill, he urged him not to keep Fu Qiufang waiting for too long.

Zhang Yun逸 half-heartedly agreed and took the opportunity to say goodbye and left the side hall.

As he stepped into the backyard, he went straight to the east wing.

But Aunt Xue came towards them quickly.

She glanced at the courtyard gate and the east wing, and lowered her voice and said, "It would have been fine if you didn't make any arrangements yesterday, but do you really not want to arrange for two maids to serve in the room today?"

Fu Qiufang had obviously misunderstood. The reason why they didn't arrange for a maid to serve was not because the Xue family was trying to cover it up, nor was it because they didn't consider the inconvenience of having no one to serve, but because Zhang Yunyi had specifically instructed so.

Aunt Xue saw what happened this morning and could empathize with Fu Qiufang's experience.

"Do you think I can serve anyone?"

Zhang Yunyi naturally understood what she meant, but he snorted coldly: "What? Madam, you feel sorry for your wife now? If you really feel sorry for her..."

As he spoke, he looked Aunt Xue up and down with ill intent.

Aunt Xue, who knew Zhang Yunyi's temper, was so frightened by his aggressive look that she fell silent.

Although Fu Qiufang was a daughter-in-law in name only, she was still a daughter-in-law after all. How could she have the nerve to let her know about her affair?

Zhang Yun逸 did not persist. He smiled without saying a word, left Aunt Xue, whose face was red and swollen, and walked into the east wing.

Fu Qiufang, who was sitting at the table in a daze, saw him push the door in and quickly stood up, holding the table.

"Husband..." The word husband almost came out of her mouth.

Last night, she was still in the dark. Now that she knew the truth, she could no longer call him husband. In addition, after seeing Zhang Yunyi's python robe, she could no longer deceive herself and quickly changed her words to "Duke!"

Although I had already heard from Aunt Xue that Zhang Yunyi was coming, I still couldn't help feeling a little nervous when I actually saw him.

However, in Zhang Yunyi's eyes, this expression was just right.

In a situation like Fu Qiufang's, if he hadn't revealed an expression of lingering fear, he would have doubted his own abilities.

Zhang Yunyi took Fu Qiufang's arm as she was about to salute him, and said jokingly, "Now that you're wearing the dragon robe, you call me Duke? Why don't you call me husband anymore?"

As he spoke, Zhang Yunyi sat down on a stool beside the table, took Fu Qiufang's hand, pulled her into his arms, and said with a double tone: "In the room, you can call me whatever you want, but when you go out, you'd better be careful. Calling me brother Yi or master is fine, but calling me Duke is too polite!" Although this test of Lin Daiyu's obedience was somewhat effective, too much is as bad as too little, and she still had to eat her meal bite by bite.

Although this matter is not difficult to explain, one needs to grasp the timing. The way of civil and martial arts requires alternating between relaxation and tension, and cannot be repeated one after another. One needs to give Lin Daiyu some time to digest it.

This is also the reason why he did not pursue Aunt Xue relentlessly. After all, he had just won Fu Qiufang over, so he had to find out the strength of the situation and proceed step by step.

Of course, if Fu Qiufang had not shown such shyness just now, he would not have to remind her of the address now.

At this moment, I just happened to follow her words and give her a reminder.

The advantage of being in a superior position is that others revolve around him, and he doesn't have to think too much or accommodate others.

In fact, Zhang Yun逸 was enjoying himself, while Fu Qiufang was the one who was frightened both physically and mentally.

But when he learned that Zhang Yun逸 was also kept in the dark, he could only follow the script he knew and act as if he already knew his identity.

"Ah! I know..."

Fu Qiufang agreed, hesitated for a moment, and finally added timidly: "Master!~"

To be honest, although it was unexpected, Fu Qiufang believed that this result was a blessing in disguise.

After all, they are not real husband and wife, but calling herself a concubine is obviously inappropriate.

After much thought, she felt that she was no different from a concubine, but Fu Qiufang was unwilling to be called "slave".

Some tricks were also done when addressing Zhang Yun逸, omitting a prefix.

Although Zhang Yunyi had said before that he could shout whatever he wanted in the house, he was still unsure and felt anxious when he shouted.

Zhang Yunyi was startled by the word "Master". He picked up Fu Qiufang and said with a smile, "Wenlong is still looking forward to our early success. Sister-in-law, you have to work harder!"

"Master! Don't..."

If she was just nervous just now, Fu Qiufang was really panicked at this moment.

However, Zhang Yunyi still has ulterior motives, so how could he let her go so easily?

Of course, he also knew the importance of the matter, so he just bluffed for a while and then stopped. He put on a sullen look, leaned against the head of the bed, and slowly hooked the back of Fu Qiufang's head.

……

Silent all night.

The next day.

Zhang Yun逸 did not leave without saying goodbye like he did yesterday.

Instead, he slept until dawn, and then put on his clothes with the help of Fu Qiufang.

Then, he embraced her, sat on the edge of the bed, and whispered in her ear: "I made things difficult for you last night, sister-in-law!"

Hearing the word "difficult", Fu Qiufang suddenly felt embarrassed and her throat was blocked, and she coughed twice unconsciously.

Zhang Yunyi saw it, but he did not show any shame. Instead, he said with a look of melancholy: "Although I and Wenlong have already agreed that you will only be my man behind my back, we can't always be husband and wife without any results, right?"

"It's because I'm useless..."

"I can't blame you!" Zhang Yunyi said with a look of self-blame, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "Take a good rest these few days, and I will think about it and see if there is any solution..."

"A method?" Fu Qiufang couldn't help but mutter guiltily when he heard this.

She was confused, but thinking about what happened last night, she didn't have the courage to ask.

Zhang Yun逸 did not give any explanation. He accompanied Xue to have breakfast before leaving the Xue family and getting on the carriage to the yamen.
